Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 10, 2009, Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”) completed the previously announced distribution (the “Distribution”) of its Ocwen Solutions business and related assets via the spin-off of a separate publicly-traded company, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (the “Company”). The Distribution was effected pursuant to a Separation Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2009, between Ocwen and the Company (the “Separation Agreement”), which provided, among other things, for certain other agreements governing the Company’s relationship with Ocwen after the Distribution. One of those agreements was the Transition Services Agreement dated August 10, 2009 (the “Transition Services Agreement”) which outlined certain services Ocwen would provide the Company and certain services the Company would provide to Ocwen post-separation for a time period not to exceed 24 months for most services. The Transition Services Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 13, 2009 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 10, 2011, Ocwen and Altisource Solutions S.à r.l., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the First Amendment to the Transition Services Agreement (the “Amendment”) to provide for extension of certain services for a maximum of 12 months. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment.
