Item 5.02
 
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers

(e) On May 26, 2017, Altisource Residential Corporation (the “Company”) entered into change in control severance agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) with the following named executive officers: (i) George G. Ellison, Chief Executive Officer and Director; (ii) Stephen H. Gray, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Counsel; (iii) Robin N. Lowe, Chief Financial Officer; and (iv) Michael G. Lubin, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. Under the CIC Agreements, each executive is entitled to certain severance payments and benefits if: (i) the Company undergoes a Change in Control (as defined in the CIC Agreements) and (ii) on or within two years thereafter, the executive’s employment is terminated by the employer without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in the CIC Agreements). If these events occur, each executive is entitled to the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times the executive’s base salary (or 2.0 times the executive’s base salary in the case of Mr. Ellison); (ii) an amount equal to 1.5 times the executive’s target annual bonus amount for the year of termination (2.0 times the executive’s base salary in the case of Mr. Ellison); (iii) an amount equal to the executive’s target annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of service in that year; (iv) an amount equal to 18.0 times the monthly premium (if any) paid by the executive’s employer for medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for the executive and his eligible dependents immediately prior to the termination; (v) immediate vesting of all equity and equity-based awards granted to the executive under the Company’s equity plans; (vi) an amount equal to the executive’s annual bonus (if any) earned for the prior year, to the extent not paid as of the termination date; and (vii) all rights accrued as of the termination date, including, without limitation, earned but unpaid base salary, unused vacation pay and business expense reimbursement. Such payments are subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims and covenant not to sue, and may be subject to offset or reduction in certain circumstances.

The CIC Agreements have an initial three-year term and renew thereafter for successive one-year terms, unless the Company notifies an executive in writing at least 90 days before an upcoming renewal date of its intention not to renew.

The foregoing summary of the CIC Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Change in Control Severance Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
