proposition for members of the Lenders One Mortgage Cooperative, managed by MPA, via access to
Altisources growing suite of origination-oriented services.
Luxembourg, 12 February 2010 Altisource Portfolio Solutions (NASDAQ: ASPS) announced today the
acquisition of The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (MPA). MPA serves as the manager of the
Lenders One Mortgage Cooperative (Lenders One), a national alliance of mortgage bankers established
in 2000 that consists of more than 155 members that originated more than $75 billion in mortgage
loans during 2009.
The acquisition reflects Altisources commitment to invest in mortgage services that span the
entire lifecycle of a loan. With the combination of Altisource and MPA, the members of Lenders One
will now benefit from Altisources delivery model for mortgage services.
MPA has been, and will continue to be, dedicated to supporting Lenders Ones mortgage banking
members as they deliver quality products and services to their customers. As a result of this
focus, Lenders One has evolved into a strong and growing brand with some of the leading independent
mortgage bankers in the country said William B. Shepro, Chief Executive Officer of Altisource.
We are convinced that through the combination of Altisource and MPA, we will be able to offer an
improved capital market and loan execution strategy adaptable by each member that will ultimately
drive members loan volumes, lower members costs and make members loans worth more.
The alignment with Altisource is the next logical step to unlock more value for our members said
Scott Stern, Chief Executive Officer of Lenders One. He noted, We will continue to work closely
with our members, now with the resources of Altisource supporting us, to create, facilitate and
implement services designed to ultimately make our members more competitive in the mortgage loan
origination marketplace.
William B. Shepro added, With the acquisition of MPA, we take a significant step in our evolution
in becoming a full service provider in the mortgage services vertical.
Altisource will retain MPAs leadership and team. Consideration for the transaction consisted of
cash, paid from available funds, and less than 5% of the shares of Altisource. Other terms of the
deal were not disclosed.
MPA was advised on the transaction by its financial advisor, Milestone Advisors.
