PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

General Information

We have made this proxy statement available to you on or about February [            ], 2014, as a holder of common stock of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Altisource" or the "Company") because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to be used at our Special Meeting of Shareholders and at any adjournment or postponement of this meeting. The Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held at our offices located at 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on [            ], February [            ], 2014, at 9:00 a.m., Central European Time for the purposes listed in the Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders.

How a Proxy Works

If you properly complete, sign and return your proxy to Altisource and do not revoke it prior to its use, it will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If no contrary instructions are given, other than as discussed below with respect to broker "non-votes," each proxy received will be voted to approve a share repurchase program whereby Altisource may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock within certain limits; and with regard to any other business that properly comes before the meeting in accordance with the best judgment of the persons appointed as proxies.

How to Revoke a Proxy

Your proxy may be used only at the Special Meeting of Shareholders and any adjournment or postponement of this meeting and will not be used for any other meeting. You have the power to revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by:

Who May Vote

Under Luxembourg law, you are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting of Shareholders if you are a holder of record of our common stock on the meeting date, or, if you hold our common stock through a clearing agency, you are a holder as midnight, Luxembourg time on the fourteenth day prior to the meeting date. For purposes of establishing those holders to whom proxies will be mailed, our Board of Directors has set a record date and time of the close of business on February [            ], 2014. At the close of business on February [            ], 2014, there were [                ] issued shares of which [                ] shares of common stock are outstanding and able to be voted and no other class of equity securities outstanding. Each

1


share of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote at the Special Meeting of Shareholders on all matters properly presented.

Voting Information

The proposal to approve a share repurchase program whereby Altisource may repurchase outstanding shares of its common stock within certain limits will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, irrespective of the number of shares present or represented at the meeting. Any other matter properly submitted for your consideration at the Special Meeting of Shareholders will be approved with such vote as required by Luxembourg law.

Abstentions and broker "non-votes" will not be counted in determining the votes cast in connection with the foregoing matters. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a shareholder has not provided voting instructions to the broker on a non-routine item. In the event of a broker non-vote, brokers may not vote on behalf of their clients on the above proposals.

If the shares you own are held in "street name" by a bank or brokerage firm, your bank or brokerage firm, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. To vote your shares, you will need to follow the directions your bank or brokerage firm provides you. Please contact your bank or brokerage firm for further information.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY[            ], 2014: This Proxy Statement can be accessed on our website under Investor Relations—Financial Information at http://ir.altisource.com/financials.cfm or on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website (www.sec.gov). In addition, you may access this proxy statement at www.proxyvote.com, a website that does not identify or track visitors of the site, by entering the 12 digit Control Number found on your Proxy Card in the space provided.

APPROVAL OF A SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM WHEREBY ALTISOURCE MAY REPURCHASE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 16, 2012, our shareholders approved a share repurchase program authorizing up to fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding shares of the Company's stock to be repurchased. Under that program, shares are eligible for repurchase at a minimum price of one dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum price of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125.00) per share. As of February [            ], 2014, the total number of shares repurchased under the program amounted to [            ]% of Altisource's [            ] outstanding shares. On February  [            ], 2014, the closing trading price of the Company's common stock was [            ] dollars and [            ] cents ($ [            ]), which exceeds the upper repurchase limitation of the program. Therefore, the Board of Directors of Altisource has approved presenting a new share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program") to the shareholders, whereby the Board of Directors is empowered to purchase outstanding shares of the Company's stock within the following limits.

The Share Repurchase Program will continue to be subject to Luxembourg law and provides for the equal treatment of shareholders. The term of authorization for repurchases will be five (5) years from the date of shareholder approval. The maximum number of shares authorized to be repurchased will be up to fifteen percent (15%) of shares outstanding as of the date of the shareholder approval. Shares will be eligible for purchase at a minimum price of one dollar ($1.00) per share and a maximum price of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per share. The purchase volumes will be subject to daily volume restrictions per SEC regulations. The Board of Directors shall be empowered to give authority to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, with power of substitution, to decide within the limits of the authorization set out above, the timing and conditions of the Share Repurchase Program.

Altisource has historically demonstrated strong cash earnings capabilities. In lieu of accumulating cash, which provides a low rate of return to shareholders, or paying dividends, which are often subject to double taxation, the Board of Directors believes the Share Repurchase Program will continue to be an effective use of Altisource's cash earnings and will provide flexibility for Altisource to be opportunistic in generating shareholder value. Additionally, the Board of Directors believes the Share Repurchase Program will assist in offsetting shareholder dilution resulting from periodic grants of equity incentive awards.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF A SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM WHEREBY ALTISOURCE MAY REPURCHASE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS
