Insights

Financial Securities Analyst

Altisource's warrant listing provides liquidity for existing warrant holders but represents minimal immediate financial impact on the company.

Altisource has announced that two types of previously distributed warrants will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 7, 2025. This development creates a secondary market for these instruments that were originally distributed on April 3, 2025.

The warrant structure reveals some interesting mechanics worth analyzing. There are two distinct warrant types: Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants (ticker: ASPSZ) requiring cash payment upon exercise, and Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants (ticker: ASPSW) allowing for cashless exercise through share forfeiture. Each warrant permits the purchase of 1.625 shares at an effective price of $1.20 per share.

What's notable is the conditional exercise provision - these warrants cannot be exercised until both: (1) after July 2, 2025, and (2) after the stock trades above $1.20 for 15 consecutive trading days. This threshold mechanism creates a performance requirement that aligns warrant value with sustained stock performance.

The different expiration dates - April 2029 for Cash Exercise warrants versus April 2032 for Net Settle warrants - provide varying time horizons for potential exercise. The longer 7-year window for Net Settle warrants offers extended optionality for those holders.

This listing primarily represents increased liquidity for existing warrant holders rather than a fundamental change to Altisource's operations or immediate capital structure. The creation of a public market allows these instruments to be freely bought and sold, potentially benefiting stakeholders who received these warrants in the April distribution.

Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants to Trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market Under the Ticker “ASPSZ”

Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants to Trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market Under the Ticker “ASPSW”

LUXEMBOURG, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today announced that the Warrants (defined below) that were distributed on April 3, 2025 have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and trading of the Warrants will commence on May 7, 2025. Altisource previously announced the distribution of (i) warrants to purchase shares of Altisource’s common stock (“Common Stock”) requiring cash settlement through the cash payment to the Company of the exercise price (the “Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants”) and (ii) warrants to purchase Common Stock requiring settlement through the forfeiture of shares of Common Stock to the Company equal to the exercise price of such Warrants (the “Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants”, and together with the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, the “Warrants” and each a “Warrant”). The Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants are to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker “ASPSZ” and the Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants are to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker “ASPSW”.

Summary of Certain Terms of the Warrants

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from the Company 1.625 shares, subject to certain adjustments, of Common Stock at an Exercise Price of $1.95 per Warrant (initially equal to $1.20 per share of Common Stock). The Warrants may be exercised beginning on the later of (i) July 2, 2025 and (ii) the first date on which the VWAP (as defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement) of the Common Stock equals or exceeds the Implied Per Share Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement) of the Warrants, which is initially $1.20, for a period of fifteen consecutive Trading Days (as such term is defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement). Upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock or pay cash in lieu thereof. If a Warrant holder would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will first aggregate the total number of shares Common Stock a Warrant holder would receive upon exercise of the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants or the Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants, as applicable, and then round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder to the nearest whole number.

The Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants, if not previously exercised or terminated, will expire on April 2, 2029. The Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants, if not previously exercised or terminated, will expire on April 30, 2032.

The forgoing summary of certain of the terms of the Warrants is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agent Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025.
