On April 19, 2017, Paul T. Bossidy, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Altisource Asset Management Corporation (the “Company”), informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 24, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). Mr. Bossidy currently serves as the Company’s lead independent director, Chair of the Audit Committee and a member of the Nomination/Governance Committee. Effective with his departure on May 24, 2017, Mr. Bossidy will no longer serve as the Company’s lead independent director, Chair of the Audit Committee or a member of the Nomination/Governance Committee.

Also on April 19, 2017, the Board determined to reduce the size of the Board from six to five members, effective with Mr. Bossidy’s May 24, 2017 departure. The Board also made the following lead independent director and committee Chair appointments effective upon the Directors’ re-election to the Board at the 2017 Annual Meeting: (a) Dale Kurland was appointed as the Company’s lead independent director and Chair of the Audit Committee, (b) Nathaniel Redleaf was appointed as Chair of the Compensation Committee and (c) Ricardo C. Byrd was appointed as Chair of the Nomination/Governance Committee. John P. de Jongh, Jr. will continue to serve as a member of Audit Committee and the Nomination/Governance Committee.

Therefore, effective with Mr. Bossidy’s departure on May 24, 2017, the composition of the Company’s Board and Committees is expected to be as follows as provided in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2017 Annual Meeting filed on April 21, 2017 with the Securities and Exchange Commission:
