EXPLANATORY NOTE
     This Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., a Luxembourg société anonyme (“Registrant,” “Altisource” or the “Company”), as well as an indeterminate amount of interests, which may be offered or sold pursuant to certain equity plans adopted by the Registrant. The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 13, 2009, as amended (the “Form 10 Registration Statement”), and has applied to list its Common Stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “ASPS.”
     In November 2008, the Board of Directors of Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”) authorized the pursuit of a plan to separate, through a tax free spin-off, the majority of the operations of the knowledge process outsourcing business currently known as the Ocwen Solutions business, into a separate public company (the “Separation”). The Separation is subject to certain conditions including but not limited to confirmation of the tax-free treatment of the spin-off, necessary regulatory approvals, any required lender counterparty consents and final approval by the Ocwen Board of Directors. Given the need to consolidate the businesses that perform Altisource’s operations and the selection of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., Ocwen will incur taxes to the extent that the fair market value of a transferred asset exceeds Ocwen’s basis in such assets in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code. In connection with the Separation, Ocwen will distribute all of the Altisource Common Stock to Ocwen’s shareholders. Ocwen’s shareholders will receive one share of Altisource Common Stock for every three shares of Ocwen common stock held as of the Record Date of the Separation (on an as if converted basis). Assuming final approvals are obtained, Ocwen currently is targeting the Separation to occur on August 10, 2009.

Table of Contents

     The following documents filed by the Company with the Commission are incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference and made a part of this Registration Statement:
          (a) The Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement;
          (b) All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), since the initial filing of the Form 10 Registration Statement referred to in paragraph (a) above; and
          (c) The description of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, contained in the Company’s Form 10 Registration Statement.
     In addition, all documents that are subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of the filing of the Form 10 Registration Statement referred to in paragraph (a) above (and that are filed prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all securities remaining unsold) shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the respective dates on which such documents are filed; except that any document or portion thereof that is furnished to, rather than filed with, the Commission is not incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
     Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement or in any other contemporaneously or subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
     Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
     Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
     The following summary of material terms is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statutes referred to below and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
     Altisource is incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in the City of Luxembourg.
     Altisource shall indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and costs reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the Company unless the liability results from their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation make indemnification of directors and officers and advancement of expenses (except in cases where Altisource is proceeding against an officer or director) to defend claims against directors and officers mandatory on the part of Altisource to the fullest extent allowed by law. Under Altisource’s Articles of Incorporation, a director or officer may not be indemnified if such person is found, in a final judgment or decree not subject to appeal, to have

 


Table of Contents

committed willful misconduct or a grossly negligent breach of his or her statutory duties as a director or officer. Luxembourg law permits the Company, or each director or officer individually, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of such directors and officers. Altisource may obtain such insurance from one or more insurers.
     Altisource also may enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers to provide for indemnification and expense advancement (except in cases where Altisource is proceeding against an officer or director) and include related provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitee’s receipt of such benefits. We expect any such agreement to provide that Altisource will indemnify each director and officer against claims arising out of such director or officer’s service to Altisource except (i) for any claim as to which the director or officer is adjudged in a final and non-appealable judgment to have committed willful misconduct or a grossly negligent breach of his duties or (ii) in the case of fraud or dishonesty by the director or officer. We also expect any such agreement to provide that expense advancement is provided subject to an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification.
     The Board of Directors of Altisource (if a majority of the Board is disinterested in the claim under which the officer or director is seeking indemnification) or an independent counsel will determine whether an indemnification payment or expense advance should be made in any particular instance and the officer or director seeking indemnification may challenge such determination. Indemnification and advancement of expenses generally will not be made in connection with proceedings brought by the indemnitee against Altisource.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Table of Contents

      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
      (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
  (i)   To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”);
 
  (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
 
  (iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
      Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
 
      (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
 
      (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
  (b)   Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference.
 
      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
  (h)   Filing of Registration Statement on Form S-8.
 
      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the

      opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Luxembourg, 7 August 2009
Opinions
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth herein and to any matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we express the following opinions:
Corporate Power
  1.   The Company is duly incorporated and existing as a public limited liability company (“société anonyme”) under the laws of Luxembourg.
Corporate Action
  2.   The Company has taken all corporate or other action required by its Articles of Association and Luxembourg law in connection with approving, authorizing and entering into the Plan.
  3.   The Company has taken all necessary corporate action required by its Articles of Association and Luxembourg law to buy back 6,666,667 shares of the Company with a par value of $1.00 per share to comply with its obligations under the Plan.
  4.   The Shares, bought back pursuant to the Share Redemption, when issued and paid for in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Qualifications
The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:
  A.   As Luxembourg lawyers we are not qualified or able to assess the true meaning and purport of the terms of the Opinion Documents under the applicable law and the obligations of the parties to the Opinion Documents, other than documents subject to Luxembourg law, and we have made no investigation of such meaning and purport. Our review of the Opinion Documents and of any other documents subject or expressed to be subject to any law other than Luxembourg law has therefore been limited to the terms of such documents as they appear to us on their face.
 
  B.   The binding effect of the obligations of the Company under the Opinion Documents may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium or reprieve from payment (“sursis de paiement”), controlled management (“gestion contrôlée”), general settlement or composition with creditors (“concordat préventif de faillite”), fraudulent conveyance (“actio pauliana”), reorganisation or similar Luxembourg or foreign laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally. Pursuant to articles 445, 446 (save to the extent that the law of 5 August 2005 on financial collateral

 


 

6
Luxembourg, 7 August 2009
      arrangements (“contrats de garantie financière”) applies) and 448 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce and article 1167 of the Luxembourg Civil Code, payments and other transactions entered into or performed during the so called suspect period (“période suspecte”), which is fixed by the Luxembourg Court pronouncing the bankruptcy and dates back not more than six months as from the date on which the Luxembourg court formally adjudicates a person bankrupt, and for specific payments and transactions during an additional period of ten days prior to the commencement of such period, are subject to the cancellation by the Luxembourg court upon proceedings instituted by the Luxembourg insolvency receiver (“curateur”).
 
      Regardless of the suspect period, article 448 of the Luxembourg Code of Commerce (save to the extent the Law of 5 August 2005 on financial collateral arrangements applies) and article 1167 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (actio pauliana) give the creditor the right to challenge any fraudulent payments and transactions made prior to the bankruptcy, without limitation in time.
 
  C.   The information contained in the Excerpt does not constitute conclusive evidence of the facts reflected therein.
 
  D.   A certificate of any party as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Luxembourg court not to be conclusive, final and binding if, for example, it could be shown to have an unreasonable or arbitrary basis or in the event of manifest error.
 
  E.   As a general rule, powers of attorney or mandates (“mandats”) may be terminated at will (“ad nutum”) at any time notwithstanding that they are expressed to be irrevocable. In order to be valid and binding on the principal, such proxies, mandates and powers of attorneys must have a limited purpose and not be drafted in a general way and in broad terms.
 
  F.   We express no opinion as to the accuracy of any warranties and representations given or made by the parties to the Opinion Documents (expressly or impliedly), as to matters of fact (other than to the extent they are subject matter of specific opinions set out in this opinion letter and are verified by our searches referred to in this opinion letter).
 
  G.   According to the provisions of article 9 §4 of the Law, documents and extracts of documents, such as shareholders’ resolutions, will only be valid vis-à-vis third parties from the day of their publication in the «Mémorial C, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations» unless the company proves that the relevant third parties had prior knowledge thereof. Third parties may however rely upon documents or extracts thereof, such as shareholders resolutions, which have not yet been published. Nevertheless, for the fifteen days following the publication, such documents would not be enforceable against third parties who prove that it was impossible for them to have knowledge thereof.
 
  H.   The term “non-assessable” as used herein means that a holder of Shares will not by reason of being merely such a holder, be subject to assessments or calls by the Company or its creditors further payment on such Shares.
Respectfully submitted,
Josée Weydert
