SCHEDULE 13D
Page 8 of 10 Pages
Item 1.
Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 8”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), with respect to the common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at 33, Boulevard Prince Henri, L-1724 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This Amendment No. 8 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018, Amendment No. 2, filed with the SEC on August 30, 2018, Amendment No. 3, filed with the SEC on September 27, 2018, Amendment No. 4, filed with the SEC on November 4, 2019, Amendment No. 5, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2020, Amendment No. 6, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020, and Amendment No. 7, filed with the SEC on August 18, 2020 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 8 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 8 shall have the meanings given them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On May 18, 2021, the Issuer granted Mr. Burg a non-management director stock award in the amount of 12,786 Shares in connection with his service on the Issuer’s Board for the 2020 to 2021 service year. Such Shares are held for the account of STS Master Fund. No funds were used to acquire such Shares.

On March 15, 2022, STS Master Fund purchased 19,418 Shares in the open market, through a broker, at a weighted average price of $9.7305 per Share for a total of approximately $188,946.85, excluding commissions. The actual prices range between $9.44 to $10.13. The Reporting Persons further undertake to provide upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of Shares purchased at each separate price reported herein.

On May 17, 2022, the Issuer granted 500 Shares to Mary Hickok (“Ms. Hickok”), the Managing Director of Deer Park, in connection with her appointment to the Issuer’s Board. Such Shares vest in four equal installments, with the initial portion having vested on the date of the Issuer’s 2022 annual meeting, with vesting continuing on the dates of the next three annual meetings. Also on May 17, 2022, the Issuer granted non-management director stock awards to Mr. Burg and Ms. Hickock in the amount of an aggregate 17,180 Shares in connection with their respective service on the Issuer’s Board for the 2021 to 2022 service year. Such Shares are held for the account of STS Master Fund. No funds were used to acquire such Shares.

On February 10, 2023, STS Master Fund purchased 41,000 Shares in the open market, through a broker, at a weighted average price of $4.7437 per Share for a total of approximately $194,491.70, excluding commissions. The actual prices range between $4.48 to $4.965. The Reporting Persons further undertake to provide upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, full information regarding the number of Shares purchased at each separate price reported herein.

On February 14, 2023, STS Master Fund purchased 400,000 Shares in the open market, through a broker, at a price of $5.00 per Share for a total of $2,000,000.00, excluding commissions.

On May 16, 2023, the Issuer granted Ms. Hickok a non-management director stock award in the amount of 12,327 Shares in connection with her service on the Issuer’s Board for the 2022 to 2023 service year. Such Shares are held for the account of STS Master Fund. No funds were used to acquire such Shares.

On May 30, 2024, the Issuer granted Ms. Hickok a non-management director stock award in the amount of 28,037 Shares in connection with her service on the Issuer’s Board for the 2023 to 2024 service year. Such Shares are held for the account of STS Master Fund. No funds were used to acquire such shares.

The funds used for the purchases of Shares on March 13, 2022, February 10, 2023, and February 14, 2023 were the working capital of STS Master Fund, which may have included margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debt balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein.

This amount includes 125 Shares of the 500 Shares that were awarded to Ms. Hickok on May 17, 2022 that will vest on the date of the Issuer’s 2025 annual meeting.
