PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
General Information
We have made this proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) available to you on or about November 14, 2022 as a holder of common stock of Altisource Asset Management Corporation, a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” “AAMC” or the “Company”), because our board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) is soliciting your proxy to be used at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held in-person at the Company’s office located at 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820 on December 14, 2022 at 9:30 a.m., Atlantic Standard Time, and will also be broadcast simultaneously online via live webcast. You may access the live webcast by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AAMC2022AM, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote online. Please note, however, that only stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting in-person will be permitted to ask questions during the Annual Meeting. If you chose to attend the Annual Meeting online, we encourage you to allow ample time for online check-in, which will open at approximately 8:15 a.m., Atlantic Standard Time.
At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon (1) the election of four (4) directors to serve until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and/or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, (2) the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022, and (3) the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (“NEOs”), as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.
If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters.
Proxies to be exercised at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by and on behalf of our Board. Our directors, officers, employees and other agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile or other personal contact. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including postage, printing and handling and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares of our common stock.
Explanatory Note
We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and have elected to provide in this proxy statement certain scaled disclosures permitted under the Exchange Act for smaller reporting companies.
Proxy Materials
On or about November 16, 2022, we will mail the proxy materials consisting of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (together with our Form 10-K/A, the “2021 Annual Report”). We also expect our proxy documents to be made available to stockholders on or about November 14, 2022 though the Stockholders – Financial Information” link on our website at www.altisourceamc.com or through www.proxyvote.com. Our 2021 Annual Report was filed with the SEC and made available on our website on March 31, 2022, and the amendment to our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 was filed with the SEC and made available on our website on May 2, 2022.
Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered in your own name, you will receive a full set of the proxy documents in the mail. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to vote at the Annual Meeting, in-person or via the virtual meeting website, or to be represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The Company has enclosed a proxy card for you to use. You may also submit voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card.
Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are not registered in your name, you should receive proxy materials and a voting instruction form from your bank or broker. We recommend that you contact your bank or broker if you do not receive these instructions. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions you received.
1

Voting Procedures
If you are a holder of record of our common stock at the close of business on October 26, the record date for the Annual Meeting, you may vote by completing and returning your proxy by mail or by using the Internet or telephone. You may submit your proxy by mail by marking your vote on the enclosed proxy card, then following the instructions on the card. To submit your proxy using the Internet or by telephone, see the instructions on the proxy card and have the proxy card available when you access the Internet website or place your telephone call. If you are authorizing a proxy to vote your shares over the Internet or by telephone, you will need to provide the control number that is printed on the proxy card that you receive.
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a bank or broker and wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to provide the control number that is printed on the proxy card that you receive when you attend the Annual Meeting.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you authorize a proxy to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
How a Proxy Works
All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxies, unless such proxies previously have been revoked. If you submit a proxy card with no voting direction indicated, the shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is as follows:
“FOR” each of the four (4) nominees for director listed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal One);
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal Two); and
“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal Three).
With regard to any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, each proxy received will be voted in the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies.
By returning a signed proxy card by mail or by duly submitting a proxy by Internet or telephone, you will confer discretionary authority on the named proxies to vote on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for which discretionary authority is permitted. The persons named on the proxy card as proxies or their substitutes will vote or act in their discretion with respect to such other matters. Any such matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast.
How to Revoke your Proxy
A registered stockholder who has returned a proxy card may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by:
prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, filing a written notice of revocation with our Corporate Secretary at the following address:
Kevin F. Sullivan, Corporate Secretary
Altisource Asset Management Corporation
5100 Tamarind Reef
Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820
submitting a new, properly executed proxy bearing a later date;
voting again via the Internet or telephone; or
attending the Annual Meeting, in-person or via the virtual meeting website, and voting at the meeting. Attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a properly executed proxy; you must vote at the Annual Meeting to revoke a prior proxy.
If your shares are held by a bank or broker and you have instructed such bank or broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your bank or broker to change your voting instructions or revoke your proxy.
2

Who May Vote
You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof if you are a holder of record of our common stock at the close of business on October 26, 2022, the record date for the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on October 26, 2022, there were 1,777,205 shares of common stock issued, outstanding and able to be voted (which excludes 1,647,853 treasury shares held by the Company that are not entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting). Each share of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters properly presented, other than the Company’s treasury shares. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be treated as present for purposes of a quorum.
We are commencing our solicitation of proxies on or about November 14, 2022, and we will continue to solicit proxies until the date of the Annual Meeting.
Quorum and Voting Information
The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of the votes of our common stock entitled to be cast, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes,” if any, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a bank or broker, your bank or broker, as the record holder of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. Generally, in an uncontested election, and in accordance with the rules of the NYSE American exchange (the “NYSE American”), certain matters submitted to a vote of stockholders are considered by the NYSE American to be “routine” items upon which brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on behalf of their customers if such customers have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period prior to the meeting. However, when a beneficial owner of shares held by a bank, broker or other nominee fails to provide the record holder with voting instructions, and such organization lacks the discretionary voting power to vote those shares with respect to a particular “non-routine” proposal, a “broker non-vote” occurs.
To vote your shares, you will need to follow the directions your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee provides you. You should instruct your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to vote your shares by following the voting instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Please contact your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee for further information.
Proposal One – Election of Directors: Assuming a quorum, the proposal to elect each of the four (4) nominees for director requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. You may vote “FOR” a nominee, “AGAINST” a nominee or “ABSTAIN” with respect to a nominee. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not permitted.
Neither broker “non-votes” nor abstentions will have an effect with regard to the election of any nominee.
Proposal Two – Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: Assuming a quorum, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal Two.
Abstentions will not have an effect with regard to the foregoing Proposal Two. Because your broker or other nominee is entitled to vote your shares with respect to Proposal Two, even if instructions are not received from you, there will be no broker “non-votes” with respect to Proposal Two.
Proposal Three – Approval, on an advisory basis, of the Compensation of the Company’s NEOs: Assuming a quorum, the proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s NEOs requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal Three.
Neither broker “non-votes” nor abstentions will have an effect with regard to the foregoing Proposal Three.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal One)
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of no less than three (3) members with the exact number to be determined by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. As of October 26, 2022, our Board of Directors consisted of four (4) members.
The four (4) nominees listed below for election as directors at the Annual Meeting have been recommended by our Nomination/Governance Committee and nominated by our Board of Directors to serve on the Board of Directors until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and/or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Assuming a quorum, each of the four (4) nominees for director will be elected as directors if they receive a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting.
The Nomination/Governance Committee and our Board has nominated John P. de Jongh, Jr. to continue to serve as our Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors has nominated each of Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, de Jongh, Jr., and Kopcak to continue to serve as directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between any nominee and any other person for selection as a nominee.
If any nominee is unable or unwilling to stand for election at the time of the Annual Meeting, the person or persons appointed as proxies will nominate and vote for a replacement nominee or nominees recommended by our Board. At this time, our Board knows of no reason why any of the nominees would not be able or willing to serve as director if elected.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR
6

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Meetings of the Board of Directors
The Board plays an active role in overseeing management and representing the interests of the stockholders. Directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board and the meetings of committees on which they serve. Directors are also consulted for advice and counsel between formal meetings. Our current Board held seven (7) meetings in 2021. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of Board meetings in 2021 held during the period for which they were a director and (2) the total number of meetings in 2021 of all committees of our Board on which the director served during the periods they served. The Board also regularly held executive sessions of the independent directors. We do not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meetings of Stockholders. However, all of the incumbent members of our Board attended our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Independence of Directors
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board must be comprised of a majority of directors who qualify as independent directors under the standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which governs the NYSE American where our common stock is listed.
Our Board annually reviews the direct and indirect relationships that we have with each director. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. Only those directors who are determined by our Board to have no material relationship with the Company are considered independent. This determination is based in part on the analysis of questionnaire responses that follow the independence standards and qualifications established by NYSE rules and law. Our current Board has determined that Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr. are independent directors and were independent directors for their full 2021-2022 service year.
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board has historically combined the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Until his termination for cause in April 2021, Indroneel Chatterjee served as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of AAMC, and our Board of Directors’ leadership structure consisted of a Chairman, a Lead Independent Director elected by the independent directors, and independent directors as our three Committee Chairs. Following Mr. Chatterjee’s termination, our Lead Independent Director, Governor de Jongh, Jr., assumed the role of interim Chairman, and our Board consisted entirely of independent directors. Effective on June 30, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws to permit our Board of Directors to appoint a Chairman without requiring that the Chairman be an executive of the Company. On the same date, our Board of Directors appointed Governor de Jongh, Jr. as Chairman.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board has established the following standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nomination/Governance Committee. Each of our Audit Committee charter, Compensation Committee charter and Nomination/Governance Committee charter is available on our website at www.altisourceamc.com. A brief description of these committees is provided below.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of our Board oversees the relationship with our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and advises our Board with respect to reports by our independent registered public accounting firm and monitors our compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including the evaluation of significant matters relating to the financial reporting process and our system of accounting, internal controls, auditing and federal securities law matters and the review of the scope and results of the annual audit conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm.
The members of the Audit Committee in 2021 were Governor de Jongh, Jr., and Messrs. Byrd and Engerman. Governor de Jongh, Jr. has served as the Chair of the Audit Committee since May 2018. Upon election of the proposed directors, Governor de Jongh, Jr. will continue to serve as the Chair of the Audit Committee, and each of Mr. Byrd and Mr. Engerman will continue to serve as a member of the Audit Committee. Each member of our Audit Committee is independent as defined in regulations adopted by the SEC and NYSE listing standards. Our
7

Board has determined that, throughout the 2021-2022 service year, all members of our Audit Committee are, and have been, “financially literate” as defined in SEC rules. Our Board has also determined that each of Mr. Engerman and Governor de Jongh, Jr. qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in SEC rules.
Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisourceamc.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Audit Committee also evaluates its performance under its charter periodically and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The Audit Committee met six (6) times in 2021.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of our Board oversees our Board and employee compensation and employee benefit plans and practices. The Compensation Committee also evaluates and makes recommendations to our Board for human resource and compensation matters relating to our NEOs. With respect to all officers and employees of the Company other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee reviews with the Chief Executive Officer and subsequently approves all executive compensation plans, any executive severance or termination arrangements and any equity compensation plans that are not subject to stockholder approval. The Compensation Committee also has the power to review our other compensation plans, including the goals and objectives thereof and to recommend changes to these plans to our Board. The Compensation Committee has authority for the administration of awards under the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Equity Incentive Plan”) and the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Equity Incentive Plan”). The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent counsel or other advisers as it deems necessary in connection with its responsibilities at our expense. The Compensation Committee may request that any of our directors, officers or employees, or other persons attend its meetings to provide advice, counsel or pertinent information as the Compensation Committee requests.
The members of the Compensation Committee in 2021 were Messrs. Byrd, Engerman and de Jongh, Jr., with Mr. Engerman serving as the Chair of the Compensation Committee since June 2019. Upon the election of the proposed directors, Mr. Engerman will continue to serve as the Chair of the Compensation Committee, and each of Mr. Byrd and Governor de Jongh, Jr. will continue to serve as Compensation Committee members. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined by NYSE listing standards. While we have no specific qualification requirements for members of the Compensation Committee, our members have knowledge and experience regarding compensation matters as developed through their respective business experience in both management and advisory roles, including general business management, executive compensation and employee benefits experience.
Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board, a copy of which is available on our website at www.altisourceamc.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Compensation Committee also evaluates its performance under its charter periodically and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The Compensation Committee met six (6) times in 2021.
Nomination/Governance Committee. The Nomination/Governance Committee of our Board makes recommendations to our Board of individuals qualified to serve as directors and committee members for our Board; advises our Board with respect to Board composition, procedures and committees; develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of our Board and our management.
The members of the Nomination/Governance Committee in 2021 were Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr. Mr. Byrd has served as the Chair of the Nomination/Governance Committee since May 2017.

who requests it. On an annual basis, the Nomination/Governance Committee reviews and approves its charter. The Nomination/Governance Committee also evaluates its performance under its charter periodically and delivers a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The Nomination/Governance Committee met one (1) time in 2021.
It is the policy of our Nomination/Governance Committee to consider candidates for director recommended by our stockholders. In evaluating all nominees for director, our Nomination/Governance Committee will take into account the applicable requirements for directors under the Exchange Act and NYSE listing standards. In addition, our Nomination/Governance Committee will take into account AAMC’s best interests as well as such factors as knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, diversity and the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the background of other members of our Board of Directors.
The Nomination/Governance Committee will consider diversity when it recommends director nominees to the Board of Directors, viewing diversity in an expansive way to include not only race, color, sex, sexual orientation and national origin, but also differences in prior work experience, viewpoint, education and skill set. In particular, the Nomination/Governance Committee will consider diversity in professional experience, skills, expertise, training, broad-based business knowledge and understanding of our business environment when recommending director nominees to the Board of Directors, with the objective of achieving a Board with diverse business and educational backgrounds. Board members should have individual backgrounds that, when combined, provide a portfolio of experience and knowledge that will serve our governance and strategic needs. The Nomination/Governance Committee will periodically review the skills and attributes of Board members within the context of the current make-up of the full Board as the Nomination/Governance Committee deems appropriate.
The Nomination/Governance Committee will regularly assess the appropriate size of the Board and whether any vacancies on the Board are anticipated. Various potential candidates for director will then be identified. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nomination/Governance Committee through current members of the Board, professional search firms, stockholders or industry sources.
In connection with this evaluation, one or more members of the Nomination/Governance Committee, and others as appropriate, will interview prospective nominees. After completing this evaluation and interview, the Nomination/Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board. The Board will determine the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the Nomination/Governance Committee. Should a stockholder recommend a candidate for director, our Nomination/Governance Committee would evaluate such candidate in the same manner that it evaluates any other nominee.
A stockholder who wants to recommend persons for consideration by our Nomination/Governance Committee as nominees for election to our Board can do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. The recommendation should provide each proposed nominee’s name, biographical data and qualifications. The recommendation should also include a written statement from the proposed nominee consenting to be named as a nominee and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a director.
Special Committee
During 2021, in connection with the Company’s attempt to acquire a new business, our Board established the Special Committee of the Board to evaluate potential acquisitions, including any that could be determined to be related party transactions. The Special Committee was composed of Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr., all of whom were deemed to be independent for this purpose. The Special Committee met thirteen (13) times in 2021. Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr. did not receive any additional compensation as part of their service on the Special Committee.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by our Board provide guidelines for us and our Board to ensure effective corporate governance. The Corporate Governance Guidelines cover topics such as director qualification standards, Board and committee composition, director responsibilities, director access to management and
9

independent advisors, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession and annual performance appraisal of the Board.
Our Nomination/Governance Committee reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines at least once a year and, if necessary, recommends changes to our Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.altisourceamc.com and are available to any stockholder who requests them by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820.
Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors
To the extent there are management directors, non-management directors meet in executive session without management representatives periodically.
Communications with Directors
If you desire to contact our Board or any individual director regarding AAMC, you may do so by mail addressed to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. All stockholder communications received in writing will be distributed to our full Board if addressed to the full Board or to individual directors if addressed to any of them individually.
Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, executive officers and employees (including our principal executive officer). We also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers that applies to our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Any waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers must be approved by our Board or the Audit Committee and will be subsequently disclosed when and how required by SEC or applicable exchange rules. Our Nomination/Governance Committee reviews our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers at least once a year and, if necessary, recommends changes to our Board. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available on our website at www.altisourceamc.com and are available to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. Any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed under SEC or exchange rules, will either be posted on our website at www.altisourceamc.com or otherwise disclosed in accordance with such rules.
Risk Management and Oversight Process
Our Board and each of its committees are involved with the oversight of the Company’s risk management.
The Board and the Audit Committee monitor AAMC’s credit risk, liquidity risk, regulatory risk, operational risk and enterprise risk by regular reviews with management and internal and external auditors. In its periodic meetings with internal and external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the scope and plan for the internal audit and includes management in its review of accounting and financial controls, assessment of business risks and legal and ethical compliance programs.
In its periodic meetings with the external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the external audit scope, the external auditors’ responsibility under the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), accounting policies and practices and other required communications. In addition, through regular reviews with management and, at times, certain employees of AAMC, the Nomination/Governance Committee assists the Board in monitoring the Company’s governance and succession risks, and the Compensation Committee assists the Board in monitoring our compensation policies and related risks.
The Board’s role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with these efforts.

Each of Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr. were granted 2,412 restricted shares of common stock of AAMC on November 4, 2021 for service on the Board. The number of shares granted was based on a share price of $24.88, which was the average of the high and low sales prices of our common stock on November 4, 2021, and represents the grant date fair value of such shares under FASB ASC 718. Such grant date fair value does not take into account estimated forfeitures. The amount reported in this column reflects the accounting cost for these restricted shares and does not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the directors upon the vesting of the restricted shares, or any sale of the underlying shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, each of Messrs. Byrd, Engerman, and de Jongh, Jr. held 2,412 unvested shares of time-based restricted stock.
On November 4, 2021, Messrs. Byrd and Engerman and de Jongh, Jr., being the non-management members of the Board serving as of such date, were each awarded 2,412 shares of restricted stock under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan for their service to the Board for the period commencing November 4, 2021 to the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The awards vest on the date of the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the date of grant, subject to continued service through such date. Upon vesting, each such director will receive 2,412 shares of our common stock. Such number of shares was determined by dividing $60,000 by the average of the high and low prices, or $24.88 per share, of AAMC common stock on November 4, 2021 and represents the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718.
Cash Compensation
As set forth above, we provide the following cash compensation to our non-management directors in quarterly installments, paid in arrears for their services for the prior quarter:
an annual retainer of $75,000;
an additional $20,000 to the Lead Independent Director of the Board, only if the Chairman of the Board is a management director (if the Chairman of the Board is a non-management director, the Chairman receives $50,000);
an additional $20,000 to the Audit Committee chairperson;
an additional $10,000 to all committee chairpersons (other than the Audit Committee chairperson); and
an additional $5,000 to all Audit Committee members.
Equity Compensation
The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan was approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 12, 2020, which supersedes the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan is described below in “Equity Compensation Plan Information”. As part of director compensation, our non-management directors have received annually restricted shares of common stock of AAMC with a Fair Market Value of $60,000 pursuant to the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. “Fair Market Value” is defined as the average of the high and low prices of our common stock as reported on the applicable securities exchange on which AAMC is listed or quoted on the first day of the service year. Equity compensation is granted for the prior year of service after each annual organizational meeting of the Board, which typically follows the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Shares of our common stock will be awarded if the director attends an aggregate of at least 75% of all meetings of the Board and committees thereof of which the director is a member during the service year. Grants of restricted shares to our directors typically vest on the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the date of grant.
11

For directors serving less than a full year, such directors receive a pro rata portion of $60,000 of restricted shares of our common stock based on the high and low sales prices on the first day of his or her service year, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days served and the denominator of which is 365 days.
Other Compensation
Directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board and its committees.
Any director compensation may be prorated for a director serving less than a full one (1) year term as in the case of a director joining the Board after an Annual Meeting of Stockholders but during the service year.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
This section discusses the material components of our 2021 executive compensation program for our NEOs. We believe an effective executive compensation program aligns executives’ interests with stockholders by rewarding performance designed to increase stockholder value. We seek to promote individual service longevity and to provide our executives with long-term incentive opportunities that promote consistent, high-level performance. The Compensation Committee evaluates both performance and compensation periodically to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of peer companies, subject to consideration of the Company’s own financial performance. To achieve these objectives, we generally believe executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that rewards performance as measured against established goals.
For 2021, our NEOs and their positions as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:
Thomas K. McCarthy, Interim Chief Executive Officer
Indroneel Chatterjee, Former Chief Executive Officer
Stephen R. Krallman, Chief Financial Officer
Christopher Moltke-Hansen, Former Chief Financial Officer
Kevin F. Sullivan, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer
P. Graham Singer, Former General Counsel and Secretary
The Company experienced changes in executive management during 2021 and 2022. On April 16, 2021, following an independent inquiry by its counsel, the Board terminated Mr. Chatterjee's employment for cause and without additional compensation for violations of the Company's Equal Employment Opportunity, Prevention Against Harassment, and Conduct on the Job Policies. The Board appointed Mr. McCarthy as interim Chief Executive Officer on April 19, 2021 as it conducted a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer. On July 1, 2022, the Board appointed Mr. Kopcak as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Singer resigned on April 23, 2021 and Mr. Moltke-Hansen resigned on April 24, 2021.

Elements of Compensation
The current compensation package for our NEOs consists of base salary and annual cash incentive compensation. This compensation structure was developed in order to provide each NEO with a competitive salary while emphasizing a cash incentive compensation element that is tied to the achievement of corporate goals and strategic initiatives as well as individual performance. The Compensation Committee also may, from time to time, grant equity compensation awards to the NEOs in order to further align their interests with AAMC’s stockholders. We believe that the following elements of compensation are appropriate in light of our strategic initiatives, industry, current challenges and environment.
Base Salary. Base salaries for our NEOs are established based on individual qualifications and job responsibilities while taking into account compensation levels at similarly situated companies for similar positions.
Base salaries of the NEOs are expected to be reviewed annually during the performance appraisal process with adjustments made based on market information, internal review of the executive officer’s compensation in relation to other officers, the individual performance of the executive officer and our corporate performance. Salary levels are also considered upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Salary adjustment recommendations will be based on our overall performance and an analysis of compensation levels necessary to maintain and attract quality personnel. The Compensation Committee will set the base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and approve the base salaries for all other NEOs.
Annual Cash Incentive Compensation. Pursuant to our annual incentive philosophy, our executives can earn cash awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. Our philosophy provides the Compensation Committee and our management with the authority to establish incentive award guidelines, which are further discussed below.
Equity Awards. The Company adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, which superseded the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (together with the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the “Equity Incentive Plans”) to afford an incentive to officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates to continue as officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisors or consultants, to increase their efforts on behalf of AAMC and to promote the success of AAMC’s business. From time to time, the Compensation Committee, as administrator, grants awards to our NEOs in addition to their annual cash incentive compensation.
Employee Relocation Program. In order to enable us to recruit top talent and incentivize key personnel to relocate, we offer a relocation package to individuals who are relocating to the U.S. Virgin Islands, and prior to 2021, the Cayman Islands, to work (the “Employee Relocation Program”). The Employee Relocation Program includes relocation benefits such as moving expenses, home sale support, a housing allowance, payment of applicable children’s school tuition fees and payment of “home leave” travel for return trips to the continental United States, in each case subject to certain limits and exceptions. Upon a participant’s departure after at least one year of service or termination without cause, such participant is eligible to receive reimbursement for relocation costs back to the continental United States. We believe that our Employee Relocation Program is necessary to attract and retain talent that is critical to our success.

2021 Compensation Determinations
Under AAMC’s annual cash incentive compensation plan, our NEOs can earn cash incentive compensation awards as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee and management have the authority to establish incentive compensation award guidelines. Each NEO has a targeted annual cash incentive award that is expressed as a percentage of his or her annual cash total target compensation. In 2021, 100% of the total annual cash target compensation was payable to our NEOs upon achievement of certain Company and individual performance levels.
Our annual incentive-based cash compensation is structured to motivate executives to achieve key performance objectives by rewarding the executives for such achievement. We seek to accomplish this by utilizing a balanced methodology that incorporates multiple financial and non-financial performance objectives developed through our annual strategic planning process.
For 2021, corporate goals were developed by our Compensation Committee and included targets pertaining to (a) identifying and acquiring a new operating company to replace the asset management business from the sale of Front Yard, (b) attempting to restructure the $250 million Series A Preferred Stock for the benefit of the common shareholders, (c) building and retaining a strong management team to acquire or build the future business lines of AAMC, and (d) continuing to maintain the Economic Development Commission status of the company as domiciled in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Compensation Committee determined to pay Messrs. Krallman and Sullivan the bonuses set forth in the table above for guiding the Company and its Interim Chief Executive Officer through 2021 after their predecessors abruptly resigned from the firm. Among other things, the Compensation Committee recognized that Messrs. Krallman and Sullivan helped to stabilize the organization during a time of transition, assisted the Special Committee in reviewing multiple business opportunities and ultimately assisted the Board in the development and announcement of its current business. In addition, during Mr. Krallman’s tenure, the Company was able to repurchase an additional $24.0 million of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at a significant discount to liquidation value. Finally, the Compensation Committee recognized the management team ability to maintain the Company’s EDC status during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Compensation Committee determined to pay the bonuses to Messrs. Krallman and Sullivan after the Company’s new business plan had been developed and announced and trading of the Company’s common stock re-commenced on the NYSE American.
2021 Equity Awards
On February 24, 2021, the Company granted 60,606 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Chatterjee, 8,523 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Moltke-Hansen, 9,470 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Singer. These shares had a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $26.25 and immediately vested.
On June 28, 2021, the Company granted 5,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Krallman with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $19.64. 1,667 of these shares vested on June 28, 2022. The remaining restricted stock units will vest in two equal annual installments on June 28, 2023 and 2024 subject to forfeiture or acceleration.
On September 20, 2021, the Company granted 3,000 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Sullivan with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $24.83. 1,000 of these shares vested on September 20, 2022. The remaining restricted stock units will vest in two equal annual installments on September 20, 2023 and 2024 subject to forfeiture or acceleration.
In determining the awards for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the valuable and substantial contributions they had made to achieving AAMC’s strategic objectives, the importance to the Company of retaining and incentivizing them and the desire to have their cash compensation reduced and converted into the restricted stock awards so that the benefits of such grants only would be realized if the Company’s stock price were to increase.
Stock Ownership Policies
Although we do not have stock ownership requirements, our philosophy is that equity ownership by our directors and executives is important to attract, motivate, retain and to align their interests with the interests of our
17

stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that our various equity incentive plans are adequate to achieve this philosophy. We also maintain an insider trading policy detailing our trading window period for directors, executive officers and other employees.
Other Compensation
The Compensation Committee’s policy with respect to other employee benefit plans is to provide benefits to our employees, including executive officers that are comparable to benefits offered by companies of a similar size to ours. A competitive comprehensive benefit program is essential to achieving the goal of attracting and retaining highly qualified employees.

Other than the grant of these options, we have granted restricted shares of common stock under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, and 2012 Special Equity Incentive Plan subject to the vesting requirements described in “Executive Compensation.” We do not expect to grant any additional options or

Pursuant to our stockholder approval of the Employee Preferred Stock Plan, on December 29, 2016, the Company authorized 14 additional series of preferred stock of the Company, consisting of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock, Series K Preferred Stock, Series L Preferred Stock, Series M Preferred Stock, Series N Preferred Stock and Series O Preferred Stock, and each series shall consist of up to an aggregate of 1,000 shares.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Transaction Policy
The Board has adopted policies and procedures for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving AAMC and related persons (directors, nominees for election as director and NEOs or their immediate family members or stockholders owning 5% or greater of the Company’s outstanding stock or their immediate family members) within our written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is available at www.altisourceamc.com. The policies and procedures are not limited to related person transactions that meet the threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules as the policies and procedures broadly cover any situation in which a conflict of interest may arise.
Any situation that potentially involves a conflict of interest is to be immediately disclosed to the Company’s General Counsel who, in consultation with management and the Audit Committee chair and with outside counsel, as appropriate, must assess the nature and extent of any concern and then recommend any follow up action, as needed. The General Counsel will notify the Chair of the Audit Committee if any such situation requires notice to or approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Related persons are required to obtain the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board for any transaction or situation that may pose a conflict of interest. In considering a transaction, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors including, but not limited to, (i) whether the transaction is in the best interests of AAMC; (ii) alternatives to the related-person transaction; (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties; (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to AAMC.
Putnam Transaction

Executive Arbitrations
Former Chief Executive Officer, Indroneel Chatterjee
On May 3, 2021, Mr. Chatterjee, commenced an arbitration against the Company and each of its directors. The arbitration complaint alleges that the Company’s April 16, 2021 for cause termination of Mr. Chatterjee was in breach of Mr. Chatterjee’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and made extra contractual claims against the Company for not affording Mr. Chatterjee a “fair procedure” and placed him in a “false light” by disclosing Mr. Chatterjee’s termination in its public announcement of the for cause termination. In addition, the arbitration complaint also asserts a tort claim against each of the Company’s directors relating to that termination and against the Company for its April 16, 2021 public announcement of the for cause termination. Mr. Chatterjee’s arbitration complaint seeks unspecified damages for his contract claims including for loss of income, stock and bonus, and punitive damages on his tort claims. On June 10, 2021, the Company and its

directors responded to the arbitration complaint and advanced counterclaims against Mr. Chatterjee. On October 20, 2021, the arbitrator granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to Mr. Chatterjee’s “fair procedure” and “false light” claims, but denied the motion to dismiss the tort claim against each of the directors. Following the close of discovery on July 11, 2022, the Company moved for summary judgment seeking dismissal of Mr. Chatterjee's remaining claims against the Company and against its directors, and further seeking entry of judgment on the majority of the Company's counterclaims. On July 21, 2022, the Company and its directors filed a motion alleging that Mr. Chatterjee had engaged in fraud and seeking as sanctions for that abuse both the dismissal of all of Mr. Chatterjee's claims and the payment of the Company's legal fees resulting from that alleged abuse. Following briefing by all parties on the summary judgment and sanction motions, on October 19, 2022, the arbitrator found that Mr. Chatterjee engaged in serious and repeated misconduct, attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the arbitrator and the Company and accordingly (i) dismissed all of Mr. Chatterjee's remaining claims, both as a sanction for his misconduct and, independently, on the merits of the Company’s motion for summary judgment; (ii) granted summary judgment on one of the Company's counterclaims requiring Mr. Chatterjee to pay the Company $400,000 (the return of half of his initial signing bonus); and, (iii) ordered that Mr. Chatterjee, as a further sanction for his misconduct, reimburse the Company for all expenses it incurred directly and solely as a result of his misconduct (which dollar amount has now been set at approximately $140,000).
Former General Counsel, Graham Singer
On June 25, 2021, Mr. Singer commenced an arbitration against the Company and its subsidiary AAMC US, Inc. regarding his compensation and the terms of his employment. The Company had previously demanded that Mr. Singer return his signing bonus in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Singer settled all claims and counterclaims and the Company paid Mr. Singer’s counsel $70,000.
