Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 16, 2018, Joseph A. Davila, who currently serves as President, Servicer Solutions, provided notice that he is resigning from his employment with Altisource S.à r.l. (“Altisource”), a subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), effective December 14, 2018 (the “Separation Date”). Following Mr. Davila’s departure, it is anticipated that Marcello Mastioni, President, Real Estate Marketplace, will take over the leadership of the Company’s Servicer Solutions businesses in addition to continuing in his current role as the head of the Company’s Owners.com business. 
In connection with Mr. Davila’s resignation, Altisource entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Davila on October 16, 2018 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Davila will receive, subject to the completion of a successful transition and other customary conditions: (i) a lump sum cash payment of €285,332, as severance, and (ii) a lump sum cash payment of $245,000 as annual incentive compensation for 2018, each payable within fourteen (14) days of the Separation Date. In addition, Altisource will pay for certain relocation expenses and tax preparation services and equalization benefits for tax years 2018 and 2019, if applicable.
The Separation Agreement further provides that, subject to the completion of a successful transition and other customary conditions, Mr. Davila will be entitled to (i) the accelerated vesting on or around the Separation Date of any service-based restricted shares and restricted stock units that were scheduled to vest prior to February 14, 2020 pursuant to applicable award agreements (with the remainder of the service-based restricted shares and restricted stock units to be forfeited effective February 14, 2019, provided that such unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units will be entitled to vesting or settlement in certain circumstances if a Change of Control/Restructuring Event were to occur prior to February 14, 2019) and (ii) the continued vesting of certain stock option awards, if applicable performance or market-based hurdles are met prior to or within a specified period after the Separation Date, as further detailed in the Separation Agreement. In addition, Mr. Davila will be entitled to retain and exercise all vested stock options for a period of six (6) months from the later to occur of the Separation Date or the date of vesting.
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Davila agrees to release all current or future claims against the Company. The Separation Agreement also contains a one-year non-competition covenant, two-year client and employee non-solicitation covenants as well as provisions concerning confidentiality, a provision for reasonable post-separation assistance to the Company and other customary terms and conditions.
Unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms used above without definition have the meanings set forth in the Separation Agreement.
