Senior Secured Term Loans
In April 2018, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. (the “Borrower”), entered into a credit agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Credit Agreement, Altisource borrowed $412 million in the form of senior secured term loans (the “SSTL”). Effective February 14, 2023, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Altisource S.à r.l. entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 2, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
On February 19, 2025, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the Borrower entered into agreements with 100% of the lenders under the SSTL (the “Lenders”). Under these agreements, the Lenders exchanged the SSTL with an outstanding balance of $232.8 million for a $160.0 million new first lien loan facility (the “New Facility”) and 7.3 million shares of common stock (the “Debt Exchange Shares”) (collectively, the “Debt Exchange Transaction”). The New Facility is comprised of a $110.0 million interest-bearing loan (the “New Debt”) and a $50.0 million non-interest-bearing exit fee (the “Exit Fee”). Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its subsidiaries, subject to applicable exclusions in the New Facility credit agreement (the “New Facility Credit Agreement”), are guarantors on the New Facility (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
We evaluated the Debt Exchange Transaction in accordance with ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructuring. The evaluation for troubled debt restructuring includes assessing both qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether the creditor granted a concession and whether the Company is experiencing financial difficulties. Our quantitative analysis consisted of comparing the effective borrowing rate on the New Facility to the effective borrowing rate on the SSTL immediately before the Debt Exchange Transaction. For purposes of ASC 470-60 Troubled Debt Restructuring, the Company concluded that (1) the lenders granted the Company a concession by reducing the effective borrowing rate on the debt and (2) the Company was experiencing financial difficulties. As a result, the Debt Exchange Transaction was accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring. The carrying value of the New Facility was determined as follows:
| | | | | |
| (in thousands) | Total |
| |
| SSTL immediately before the Debt Exchange Transaction | $ | 232,800 | |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs and discount immediately before the Debt Exchange Transaction | (1,296) | |
| Less: fair value of equity issued to the SSTL lenders | (45,370) | |
| Less: fees paid to third parties on behalf of the SSTL lenders | (1,145) | |
| Carrying value of the New Facility | $ | 184,989 | |
| Comprised of: | |
| Par value of the New Facility | $ | 160,000 | |
| Premium | 26,285 | |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs and discount | (1,296) | |
| Carrying value of the New Facility | $ | 184,989 | |
In connection with the Debt Exchange Transaction, the Company also paid $3.6 million to advisors and others and recorded these payments as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
The maturity date for $157.8 million of the New Facility is April 30, 2030 and the maturity date for $1.4 million of the New Facility is January 15, 2029.
The New Facility requires mandatory prepayments of the term loans, subject to customary exceptions, as follows: (i) 100% of the proceeds of any other debt not permitted by the New Facility Credit Agreement, (ii) 95% of the net proceeds from the exercise of the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, (iii) 100% of the proceeds of Asset Sales (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement), subject to customary reinvestment rights for net proceeds of less than $3 million and certain exceptions, where applicable, (iv) 100% of insurance or condemnation proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all losses in any fiscal year, subject to customary reinvestment rights, where applicable, and (v) beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the lesser of (a) 75% of the Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement) for the most recently ended fiscal year of the Borrower for which financial statements have been delivered and (b) such amount which, immediately after giving effect to such repayment, would result in the Borrower and its subsidiaries having no less than $30 million of cash, shall be applied first to the prepayment of the Super Senior Facility (defined below) and, second, to the prepayment of the New Facility. All mandatory and voluntary prepayments under the New Facility are allocated between the New Debt and the Exit Fee on a pro rata basis.
All amounts outstanding under the New Facility will become due on the earlier of (i) the maturity date, and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the New Facility credit agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the New Facility credit agreement) or as otherwise provided in the New Facility credit agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.
The New Debt bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Base Rate, as defined in the New Facility credit agreement. SOFR-based term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus 6.50% (with a 3.50% SOFR floor) payable in cash. Base Rate-based term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 5.50% payable in cash. The interest rate on the SSTL in 2024 was SOFR plus 5.00% payable in cash plus 3.75% payable in kind. The interest rate as of December 31, 2025 was 10.60%.
The payment of all amounts owing by the Borrower under the New Facility credit agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the other Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The liens securing the New Facility are junior to the liens securing the Super Senior Facility (defined below) pursuant to, and as set forth in, an intercreditor agreement.
The New Facility Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants, term and conditions customary for transactions of this type. This include covenants limiting Altisource, the Borrower and its subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on its assets, (iii) agree to additional negative pledges, (iv) make Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement), (v) pay dividends or distribute assets, (vi) make investments, (vii) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation, liquidate, wind-up or dissolve, or convey any part of its business, assets or property, or acquire the business, property or assets of another person, (viii) dispose of the equity interests of any Significant Subsidiaries, (ix) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (x) enter into certain transactions with shareholders and affiliates, (xi) engage in a line of business substantially different than existing business and businesses
reasonably related, complementary or ancillary thereto, (xii) modify the terms of certain indebtedness, (xiii) modify the terms of its organizational documents, (xiv) change its fiscal year, and (xv) enter into any transactions undertaken in connection with a Liability Management Transaction (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement).
The New Facility contains certain events of default including (i) failure to pay (x) principal when due or (y) interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the New Facility Credit Agreement within 5 days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of certain other covenants, subject to cure periods described therein, (iv) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $10 million when due, (v) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $10 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vi) bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., Borrower or any Material Subsidiary (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement), (vii) entry by a court of one or more judgments against Altisource, Borrower or any Material Subsidiary in an amount in excess of $15 million that remain undischarged, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (viii) the occurrence of certain ERISA events, (ix) occurrence of a Change in Control, (x) the failure of certain Loan Documents (as defined in the New Facility Credit Agreement) to be in full force and effect or Altisource or any Guarantor challenges the validity of any such Loan Document, (xi) the termination of certain material contracts and (xii) failure to comply in any material respects with the terms of the Shareholder Warrants or the Warrant Agreement. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the New Facility Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable.
