	SCHEDULE 13D

		Page 8 of 11 Pages

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 5”) 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 40, avenue Monterey, L-2163 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This Amendment No.5 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, and Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on November 4, 2019 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”).

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 5 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings given them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.

Identity and Background

Item 2(c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(c) Deer Park serves as investment adviser to the STS Master Fund and, in such capacity, exercises voting and investment power over the Shares held in the account for the STS Master Fund. DPRM is the general partner of Deer Park. Each of DPRC and AgateCreek is a member of DPRM. Mr. Craig-Scheckman is the Chief Executive Officer of each of Deer Park and DPRC and the majority owner of DPRC. Mr. Burg is the Chief Investment Officer of Deer Park and the sole member of AgateCreek. Set forth in Annex A to the original Schedule 13D, filed August 17, 2018, are the names, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of DPRC.

(e) On June 4, 2019, Deer Park and Mr. Burg, without admitting or denying any alleged violation, entered into a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) resolving an investigation into Deer Park’s policies and procedures pertaining to its valuation of fund assets. Under the terms of the settlement: (i) Deer Park agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $5 million and Mr. Burg agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $250,000; (ii) Deer Park was censured; (iii) each Deer Park and Mr. Burg agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations or any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder; and (iv) Deer Park undertook to conclude its work with an independent compliance consultant (the “Consultant”), whom Deer Park hired during the SEC’s investigation to conduct a comprehensive review of Deer Park’s policies and procedures for valuing assets in its private funds and processes for complying with GAAP in such valuations. Deer Park has adopted and implemented all of the recommendations in the Consultant’s final report.

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:

The funds used for the purchase of the Shares reported herein by the Reporting Persons were the working capital of the 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 debit 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. A total of approximately $2,171,360.37, including commissions, was paid to acquire the Shares reported in Item 5(c) of this Amendment No. 5.

Item 5.

Interest in the Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

(a, b) As of the date hereof, each of Deer Park, DPRM, DPRC, Mr. Craig-Scheckman, and AgateCreek may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,367,995 Shares (approximately 21.7% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

As of the date hereof, Mr. Burg may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 3,371,137 Shares (approximately 21.7% of the total number of Shares outstanding). This amount includes (i) 3,367,995 Shares he may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with each of Deer Park, DPRM, DPRC, Mr. Craig-Scheckman, and AgateCreek, and (ii) 3,142 restricted Shares that were awarded to Mr. Burg in connection with his service as a non-management director of the Issuer.

The beneficial ownership percentage is based on a total of 15,519,003 Shares outstanding as of February 28, 2020, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020.
