**PART I**

**Item 1. Business.** 

*Throughout this section, references to "we," "us," and "our" refer to Alight and its consolidated subsidiaries as the context so requires.*

Alight is a technology-enabled services company delivering human capital management solutions to many of the world's largest and most complex organizations. This includes the implementation and administration of employee benefits (e.g., health, wealth and leaves) solutions. Alight's numerous solutions and services are utilized year-round by employees and their family members in support of their overall health, wealth and wellbeing goals. Participants can access their solutions digitally, including through a mobile application on Alight Worklife<sup>®</sup>, our intuitive, cloud-based employee engagement platform. Through Alight Worklife, the Company believes it is defining the future of employee benefits by providing an enterprise level, integrated offering designed to drive better outcomes for organizations and individuals.

We aim to be the pre-eminent employee experience partner by providing personalized experiences that help employees make the best decisions for themselves and their families about their health, wealth and wellbeing. At the same time, we help employers tackle their biggest people and business challenges by helping them understand prevalence, trends and risks to generate better outcomes for the future, such as improved employee productivity and retention, while also realizing a return on their people investment. Our data, analytics and AI allow us to deliver actionable insights that drive measurable outcomes, such as healthcare claims savings, for companies and their people.

***Principal Services and Segment***

We currently operate under one reportable segment, Employer Solutions. Employer Solutions is driven by our Alight Worklife platform, and includes integrated benefits administration, healthcare navigation, financial wellbeing, leave of absence management and retiree healthcare. We leverage data across numerous interactions and activities to improve the employee experience, reduce the operational costs and better inform management processes and decision-making. Our clients' employees benefit from an integrated platform and user experience, coupled with a full-service customer care center, helping them manage the full life cycle of their health, wealth, and wellbeing.

Our solutions are supported through a secure and scalable cloud infrastructure, together with our core benefits processing platforms and consumer engagement tools and integrated with over 350 external platforms and partners. This includes our Alight Partner Network, a diverse network of third-party providers supporting additional wellbeing programs and needs of participants. Our data and access across the breadth of human capital solutions provides us with comprehensive employee records to enable AI-driven, omnichannel engagement and a personalized, integrated experience for our clients' employees. Through the use of predictive analytics and omnichannel engagement, Alight is able to tailor an employee experience that is unique to each individual's needs and circumstance.

We generate primarily all of our revenue, which is highly recurring, from fees for services provided from contracts across all solutions, which is primarily based on a contracted fee charged per participant per period (e.g., monthly or annually, as applicable). Our contracts typically have three to five-year terms for ongoing services with mutual renewal options. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time when control of the promised services is transferred, and the clients simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services. Payment terms are consistent with industry practice.

***Payroll and Professional Services Divestiture***

On July 12, 2024, Alight completed the previously announced sale (the "Divestiture") of Alight's Professional Services segment and Alight's Payroll & HCM Outsourcing business within the Employer Solutions segment (collectively, the "Divested Business"). In connection with the Divestiture, the Company received (a) $1.0 billion in cash at closing, (b) a note with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, and a fair value of $35 million as of July 12, 2024 issued at closing (the "Seller Note") and (c) contingent upon the financial performance of the divested business for the 2025 fiscal year, a note with an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million and an initial fair value of $43 million as of July 12, 2024. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" within the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Divestiture.

------

***Technology***

We deliver our solutions through a set of proprietary and partner technologies, a well-developed network of providers and a structured approach to instill and sustain enterprise-wide practices of excellence. With this in mind, there are four layers to our technology strategy, all reinforced with a critical security framework:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Omnichannel customer experience layer that drives a personalized approach for customers within our front-end user interface.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AI and analytics layer that uses data from our transactional systems, combined with client and third-party data to drive insights for clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Core transaction layer that records participant decisions and powers our health and wealth systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Infrastructure layer to provide security, stability and performance across our application landscape.

***Seasonality***

Due to buying patterns and delivery of certain products in the markets we serve, particularly given the timing of annual benefits enrollment, our revenues tend to be higher in the second half of each year.

***Licensing and Regulation***

As a public company with global operations, our business activities are subject to licensing requirements and extensive regulation under the laws of countries in which we operate, including United States ("U.S.") federal and state laws. See the discussion contained in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A. of this Annual Report for information regarding how actions by regulatory authorities or changes in legislation and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we operate may have an adverse effect on our business.

***Clients***

We serve a broad range of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, public institutions and mid-market businesses, and seek to establish high-quality, strong, long-term relationships with our clients. We are well-diversified with strong representation across myriad key market sectors. We proactively solicit client feedback through ongoing surveys and client councils held throughout the year, and we use this critical feedback to inform our research and development, enhance our client services and correct course when necessary. Through these surveys, we have learned that clients value the strength and depth of our relationships, scale and breadth of our solutions and our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.

***Competition***

The markets for our solutions are competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented. Our business faces competition from other global and national companies. The market for our solutions is subject to change as a result of economic, regulatory and legislative changes, technological developments, shifting client needs, and increased competition from established and new competitors.

We do not believe there is any single competitor with the breadth of our solutions, and thus our competitors vary for each of our solutions. Our primary competitors include ADP, bswift, Businessolver, Conduent, Empower, Empyrean, Fidelity, HealthEquity, Included Health, Personify, Quantum Health, Sedgwick, Transcarent, Voya, and WTW.

We compete primarily on the basis of product and service quality, technology, breadth of offerings, ease of use and accessibility of technology, data protection, innovation, trust and reliability, price and reputation.

***Human Capital Management***

As of December 31, 2025, we employed more than 9,500 colleagues, approximately 80% of whom were located in North America. In the United States, 67% of our colleagues identified as female and 42% of our colleagues self-identified as a minority group. We believe that our relations with our colleagues in all locations are positive.

Attracting, developing, and retaining talent is critical to executing our strategy and our ability to compete effectively. We believe in cultivating a healthier workforce by creating an environment where our colleagues have every opportunity to thrive, as we support their wellbeing with fair and market-competitive pay and benefits and invest in their growth and development.

We also value feedback from our colleagues and regularly survey them to understand how they feel about the company and subsequently take appropriate actions, if necessary, and employ employee engagement best practices to

------

improve their work experience. Our efforts have resulted in being recognized as a Great Place to Work® and being named to Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces for 2025.

*Employee Wellbeing* 

At Alight, we know that to improve others' lives, we must also strive to enrich the wellbeing of our employees. Alight's employees bring a diverse set of skills, perspectives and life experiences that enable them to deliver the world-class service our clients—and their employees—have come to expect. Our commitment to Alight's employees is to enable them to live the best lives possible—at work, home and out in their communities. We provide them with tools and resources to help them attain their wellbeing goals across the key pillars of mind, body, wallet and life. From financial planning and support navigating the health care landscape to mental health resources and career growth through training and development opportunities, we seek to enrich our people's lives, so they can in turn help our clients' people improve theirs.

*Total Rewards* 

Our benefits are designed to help colleagues and their families stay healthy, meet their financial goals, protect their income and help them balance their work and personal lives. These benefits include health and wellness, paid time off, employee assistance, competitive pay, career growth opportunities, paid volunteer time, and a culture of recognition.

*Growth and Development*

We understand that developing our talent is both critical for continuing success in a rapidly evolving environment and for colleague engagement and retention, and we are committed to actively fostering a learning culture and investing in ongoing professional and career development for our colleagues. We empower managers and employees with collective accountability for developing themselves and others, and promote ongoing dialogue, coaching, feedback, and improvement through our continuous performance management practices. We offer employees an extensive number of programs and tools for their personal and professional development including instructor-led training courses, leadership development programs, on-demand virtual learning, individual development planning, roles-based functional and technical training, compliance training, peer learning opportunities, and tuition reimbursement programs. We also aligned our talent and succession planning framework at a global level for our Director-level and above roles to support the development of our internal talent pipeline for current and future organizational needs, and to provide an overall health gauge of our global talent pool. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors oversees and approves the management continuity planning process.

***Intellectual Property***

Our intellectual property portfolio is primarily comprised of various copyrights (including copyrights in software) and trademarks, as well as certain trade secrets or proprietary know-how of our business. Our success has resulted in part from our proprietary methodologies, process and other intellectual property, such as certain of Alight's platforms. However, any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may not provide significant competitive advantages.

Our business relies on software provided by both internal development and external sourcing to deliver its services. With respect to internally developed software, we claim copyright on all such software, registering works where appropriate. We require all employees and contractors to assign to us the rights to works developed on our behalf. In addition, we rely on maintaining source code confidentiality to maintain our market competitiveness. With respect to externally sourced software, we rely on contracts to allow for continued access for its business usage.

In the United States, trademark registrations may have a perpetual life, subject to continuous use and renewal every ten years, and may be subject to cancellation or invalidation based on certain use requirements and third-party challenges, or on other grounds. We vigorously enforce and protect our trademarks.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

**RISK FACTORS** 

*In addition to the other information in this Annual Report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our Company and our business. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business financial condition and results of operations.*

**Risks Related to Our Business and Industry**

***An overall decline in economic activity could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our business.***

The results of our business are generally affected by the level of business activity of our clients, which in turn is affected by the level of economic activity in the industries, markets and regions these clients serve. The level of economic activity may be affected by unforeseen events, such as adverse weather conditions, natural disasters (including those as a result of climate change), catastrophic events, war (including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine), terrorism or public health conditions. Additionally, substantial changes to trade (including the imposition of tariffs or trade disputes), inflation rates, interest rates, currency exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, political conditions, employment rates (including as a result of an increasingly competitive job market), limitations on a government's spending and/or ability to issue debt, and constriction and volatility in the credit markets, may occur and would affect our business. Economic downturns in some markets, or challenging financial markets and increased funding costs, may cause reductions in technology and discretionary spending by our clients, which may result in reductions in the growth of new business as well as reductions in existing business. If our clients become financially less stable, enter bankruptcy, liquidate their operations or consolidate, our revenues and/or collectability of receivables could be adversely affected. Our contracts also depend upon the number of our clients' employees or the number of participants in our clients' employee benefit plans. If our clients become financially less stable, change their staffing models, enter bankruptcy, liquidate their operations or consolidate, that could result in layoffs or other reductions in the number of participants in our clients' employee benefit plans. We may also experience decreased demand for our services as a result of postponed or terminated outsourcing of human resource ("HR") functions. Reduced demand for our services could increase price competition and have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

***We face significant competition and our failure to compete successfully could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of our business.***

Our competitors may have greater resources, larger client bases, greater name recognition, stronger presence in certain geographies and more established relationships with their clients and suppliers than we have. In addition, new competitors, alliances among competitors or mergers of competitors could result in our competitors gaining significant

------

market share and some of our competitors may have or may develop a lower cost structure, adopt more aggressive pricing policies or provide services that gain greater market acceptance than the services that we offer or develop. Large and well-capitalized competitors may be able to respond to the need for technological changes (including the implementation of AI and ML) and innovate faster, or price their services more aggressively. They may also compete for skilled professionals, finance acquisitions, fund internal growth and compete for market share more effectively than we do. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose market share and clients to competitors, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations. To respond to increased competition and pricing pressure, we may have to lower the cost of our solutions or decrease the level of service provided to clients, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

***If we are unable to successfully execute the next phase of our strategic transformation, including our ability to effectively and appropriately separate the Divested Business, we may experience operational disruptions, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

On July 12, 2024, the Company completed the Divestiture of Alight's Professional Services segment and Alight's Payroll & HCM Outsourcing business within the Employer Solutions segment. Completing the Divestiture was a pivotal stage in our transformation as a technology-enabled services company with a renewed focus on employee wellbeing and benefits. Our strategic transformation has also entailed other initiatives, such as revised capital allocation priorities and changes among our management team. Implementing the Divestiture and the other changes required to effectuate our strategic transformation can be complex, costly and time-consuming and may also result in unanticipated issues, such as additional expenses, competitive responses, employee turnover or impact on our commercial relationships. Even if such initiatives are implemented successfully, the full benefits may not be realized within the desired timeframe or at all. As a result of the Divestiture, the Company's diversification of revenue sources diminished, and the Company's results of operations, cash flows, working capital and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and greater risk as a result of the concentration of its business. The failure to meet the challenges involved in implementing our go-forward business after the Divestiture and the other aspects of our strategic transformation could result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, pursuant to the Divestiture, we entered into an agreement whereby we have begun to provide various transition services to the buyer of the Divested Business for specified periods. In the course of performing our obligations under such agreement, we will continue to allocate certain of our resources, including assets, equipment and the time and attention of our management and other teammates, for the benefit of the Divested Business and not ours, which may negatively impact our financial condition or results of operations. A portion of the consideration received for the sale of the Divested business is contingent on the financial performance of the Divested Business. If the Divested Business does not meet certain performance metrics for the 2025 fiscal year, we will receive less consideration in the future than may have been or may currently be projected by fair value measurements. See Note 4 "Discontinued Operations" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for more information on the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

If the Divested Business is not successfully separated, or if we experience delays or disputes during the process of separation, investor confidence could decline. Any such delays or disputes may result in negative publicity, protracted litigation, may affect our relationships with our clients and other business partners and may cause us to incur significant costs, including legal fees, advisor fees and other related costs, without any commensurate benefit. Accordingly, if the Divested Business is not separated successfully, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

***Our business performance and growth plans could be negatively affected if we are not able to effectively apply technology in driving value for our clients or gaining internal efficiencies, or if investments in innovative product offerings fail to yield sufficient return to cover their costs.***

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to develop and implement new or revised solutions that anticipate and keep pace with rapid and continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences, including adoption and use of AI and ML. We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely and cost-effective basis, and our ideas may not be accepted in the marketplace. Additionally, the effort to gain technological expertise and develop new technologies requires us to incur significant expenses.

If we cannot offer new technologies as quickly as our competitors or if our competitors develop more cost-effective technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and complete client engagements. Innovations in software, cloud computing or other technologies such as AI and ML that alter how our services are delivered could significantly undermine our investments in our business if we are slow or unable to take advantage of these developments or experience any unanticipated consequences from the deployment of such technologies.

------

We are continually developing and investing in innovative and novel service offerings, which we believe will address needs that we identify in the markets. In some cases, these new offerings may require new or unique pricing structures, which may include performance guarantees or fees at risk that differ significantly from our historical practices. These initiatives carry the risks associated with any new solution development effort, including cost overruns, delays in delivery and implementation and performance issues. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing, marketing and selling new solutions or enhancements that meet these changing demands, that we will not experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, implementation, introduction and marketing of these solutions or enhancements, or that our new solutions and enhancements will adequately meet the demands for the marketplace and achieve market acceptance. Any of these developments could have an adverse impact on our future revenue and/or business prospects. Nevertheless, for those efforts to produce meaningful value, we are reliant on a number of other factors, some of which are outside of our control, to deem them suitable, and whether those parties will find them suitable will be subject to their own particular circumstances.

***Issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, in our offerings may result in reputational harm and liability.***

A quickly evolving social, legal and regulatory environment may cause us to incur increased operational and compliance costs, including increased research and development costs, or divert resources from other development efforts, to address potential issues related to usage of AI and ML. We are increasingly building AI and ML into many of our offerings including in our generative AI-enhanced Search and Chat functions for Alight Worklife as well as our intelligent document processing tools. As with many cutting-edge innovations, AI and ML present new risks and challenges, and existing laws and regulations may apply to us in new ways, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. The risks and challenges presented by AI and ML could undermine public confidence in AI and ML, which could slow its adoption and affect our business. We incorporate AI and ML into our offerings for use cases that could potentially impact civil, privacy, or employment benefit rights. Failure to adequately address issues that may arise with such use cases could negatively affect the adoption of our solutions and subject us to reputational harm, regulatory action, or legal liability, which may harm our financial condition and operating results. Potential government regulation related to AI, including relating to ethics and social responsibility, may also increase the burden and cost of compliance and research and development. Employees, clients, or clients' employees who are dissatisfied with our public statements, policies, practices, or solutions related to the development and use of AI and ML may express opinions that could introduce reputational or business harm, or legal liability.

***We may not achieve our financial projections, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.***

We typically provide financial projections such as our expected revenue growth and profitability. These financial projections are based on management's assumptions and expectations at a point in time. Failure to achieve our financial projections have in the past and could in the future have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock. Our ability to forecast our future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties in our business. If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets or other events, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from expectations, and our business and the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock could be materially adversely affected.

***We rely on complex information technology systems and networks to operate our business. Any significant system or network disruption could expose us to legal liability, impair our reputation or have a negative impact on our operations, sales and operating results and could expose us to litigation and negatively impact our relationships with clients.***

We rely on the efficient, uninterrupted and secure operation of complex information technology systems, and networks and data centers, some of which are outsourced to third-party providers, including cloud infrastructure service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure Cloud. We do not have control over the operations of such third parties. We also may decide to employ additional offsite data centers in the future to accommodate growth. Problems faced by our data center locations, with the telecommunications network providers with whom we or they contract, or with the systems by which our telecommunications providers allocate capacity among their clients, including us, could adversely affect, and in some instances have adversely affected, the availability and processing of our solutions and related services and the experience of our clients. If our data centers are unable to keep up with our growing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on our business and cause us to incur additional expense. In addition, any financial difficulties faced by our third-party data center's operator or any of the service providers with whom we or they contract may have negative effects on our business, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict. These facilities

------

are vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cyber security attacks (including "ransomware" and phishing attacks), terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures and similar events. The risk of cyber-attacks could be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, or other hostile actions taken by nation-states and terrorist organizations. While we have adopted, and continue to enhance, business continuity and disaster recovery plans and strategies, there is no guarantee that such plans and strategies will be effective, which could interrupt the functionality of our information technology systems or those of third parties. The occurrence of a natural disaster (or other extreme weather as a result of climate change or otherwise) or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services and solutions. The facilities also could be subject to break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. Any errors, failures, interruptions or delays experienced in connection with these third-party technologies and information services, or our own systems could negatively impact our relationships with clients and adversely affect our business and could expose us to third-party liabilities. Any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our information technology systems including any changes in service levels at our third-party data center could adversely affect our reputation and may damage our clients' stored files or result in lengthy interruptions in our services. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenues, subject us to potential liability or other expenses or adversely affect our renewal rates.

In relation to our third-party data centers, while we may own, control and have access to our servers and all of the components of our network that are located in these centers, we do not control the operation of these facilities. The operators of our third-party data center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if the data center operators are acquired, we may be required to transfer our servers and other infrastructure to new data center facilities, and we may incur costs and experience service interruption in doing so.

***Improper access to, misappropriation, destruction or disclosure of confidential, personal or proprietary data as a result of employee or vendor malfeasance or cyber-attacks could result in financial loss, regulatory scrutiny, legal liability or harm to our reputation.***

One of our significant responsibilities is to maintain the security, including cybersecurity, and privacy of our employees' and clients' confidential and proprietary information and confidential information about our clients' employees' health, financial and wellbeing information and other personally identifiable information. However, all information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources, including but not limited to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, malware, hacking, fraudulent use attempts, "ransomware" and phishing attacks and security breaches. Our systems are also subject to compromise from internal threats such as improper action by employees, vendors and other third parties with otherwise legitimate access to our systems. Despite our efforts, from time-to-time, we and our third-party vendors experience attacks and other cyber-threats to our systems and networks and have from time-to-time experienced cyber security incidents such as computer viruses, unauthorized parties gaining access to our information technology systems and similar matters, which to date have not had a material impact on our business. These attacks can seek to exploit, among other things, known or unknown vulnerabilities in technology included in our information systems or those of third-party providers. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing and becoming increasingly more sophisticated and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we or our third-party providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative measures. If we, or our third-party providers, are unable to efficiently manage the vulnerability of our systems and effectively maintain and upgrade our system safeguards, we may incur unexpected costs and certain of our systems may become more vulnerable to unauthorized access. For example, there has been a stark increase in new financial fraud schemes akin to ransomware attacks on large companies whereby a cybercriminal installs a type of malicious software, or malware, that prevents a user or enterprise from accessing computer files, systems, or networks and demands payment of a ransom for their return. Cyber criminals may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees, clients or other users of our systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our data or that of our clients or users. In addition, while we have certain standards for all vendors that provide us services, our vendors, and in turn, their own service providers, have experienced and in the future may continue to become subject to the same types of security breaches. In the future, these types of incidents could result in intellectual property or other confidential information being lost or stolen, including client, employee or business data. In addition, we may not be able to detect breaches in our information technology systems or assess the severity or impact of a breach in a timely manner.

We have implemented various measures to manage our risks related to system and network security and disruptions. Nevertheless, an actual or perceived security breach, a failure to make adequate disclosures to the public or law enforcement agencies following any such event or a significant and extended disruption in the functioning of our information technology systems could damage our reputation and cause us to lose clients, adversely impact our operations,

------

sales and operating results and require us to incur significant expense to address and remediate or otherwise resolve such issues.

We maintain policies, procedures and technological safeguards designed to protect the security and privacy of this information. These include, for example, the appropriate encryption of information, the use of anti-virus, anti-malware and other protections. Nonetheless, we cannot eliminate the risk of human error or inadequate safeguards against employee or vendor malfeasance or cyber-attacks that could result in improper access to, misappropriation, destruction or disclosure of confidential, personal or proprietary information and we may not become aware in a timely manner of any such security breach. Such unauthorized access, misappropriation, destruction or disclosure could result in the loss of revenue, reputational damage, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, civil and criminal penalties for violation of applicable laws, regulations or contractual obligations, and significant costs, fees and other monetary payments for remediation. Furthermore, our clients may be reluctant to continue our services delivered through our information technology systems and networks following an actual or perceived security breach due to concerns regarding transaction security, user privacy, the reliability and quality of internet service and other reasons. The release of confidential information as a result of a security breach could also lead to litigation or other proceedings against us by affected individuals or business partners, or by regulators, and the outcome of such proceedings, which could include penalties or fines, could have a significant negative impact on our business. Additionally, in order to maintain the level of security, service and reliability that our clients require, we may be required to make significant additional investments in technology and our methods of delivering services.

In many jurisdictions, including North America and the European Union, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to the collection, use, retention, security and transfer of information including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended ("HIPAA") and the HIPAA regulations governing, among other things, the privacy, security and electronic transmission of individually identifiable protected health information, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). California also enacted legislation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and the related California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), that afford California residents expanded privacy protections and a private right of action for security breaches affecting their personal information. Over a dozen U.S. states have similarly enacted comprehensive privacy laws and these laws emulate the CCPA and CPRA in many respects. We anticipate federal and state regulators to continue to consider and enact regulatory oversight initiatives and legislation related to privacy and cybersecurity. These and other similar laws and regulations are frequently emerging and changing in addition to becoming increasingly complex and sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services both in terms of substance and in terms of enforceability. This makes compliance challenging and expensive. Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability and damage to our reputation in the marketplace. Further, regulatory initiatives in the area of data protection frequently include provisions allowing authorities to impose substantial fines and penalties, and therefore, failure to comply could also have a significant financial impact.

***Our business or stock price could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist stockholders.***

Our Board of Directors and management value constructive input from our stockholders and are committed to acting in the best interests of all our stockholders. However, we may be subject to actions or proposals from stockholders or others that may not align with the Company's business strategies or the interests of our other stockholders.

During fiscal year 2024, a stockholder activist nominated four directors to our board of directors, which resulted in the incurrence of unexpected costs and a diversion of time and resources. If faced with a proxy contest or other potential actions by activist stockholders in the future, responding to these actions could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt the Company's operations and divert the attention of our Board of Directors, management and employees. In addition, activist stockholder initiatives could result in perceived uncertainties as to the Company's future direction, strategy or leadership, which may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, harm our ability to attract new investors, customers, employees and other strategic partners and cause our stock price to experience periods of volatility.

***We rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate certain of our reported measures, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such measures may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.***

Certain of the measures we disclose publicly, which could include our "annual recurring revenue," "revenue under contract" and "bookings" measures, are calculated using metrics tracked by our internal teams. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable calculations for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in deriving contract-based measures and our measure may differ from similar terms used by other companies. For example, an engagement accounted for in calculating one of these measures could abruptly end for reasons out of our

------

control. If we determine that we can no longer calculate these metrics with a sufficient degree of accuracy, and we cannot find an adequate replacement for the metric, our business or revenue may be harmed. In addition, if investors do not perceive our metrics to be accurate representations of our business prospects, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics, our reputation may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to us or to the HR benefits that we administer for our clients including changes in such laws and regulations, their application and their interpretation, could have an adverse effect on our business.***

Our business is subject to extensive legal and regulatory oversight throughout the world including a variety of laws, rules, and regulations addressing, among other things, licensing, data privacy and protection, wage and hour standards, employment and labor relations, occupational health and safety, environmental matters, anti-competition, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, language requirements, economic sanctions, currency, reserves and government contracting. This legal and regulatory oversight could reduce our profitability or limit our growth by increasing the costs of legal and regulatory compliance; by limiting or restricting the products or services we sell, the markets we enter, the methods by which we sell our services, the prices we can charge for our services, and the form of compensation we can accept from our clients and third parties; or by subjecting our business to the possibility of legal and regulatory actions or proceedings.

The global nature of our operations increases the complexity and cost of compliance with laws and regulations, including training and employee expenses, adding to our cost of doing business. In addition, many of these laws and regulations may have differing or conflicting legal standards across jurisdictions, increasing further the complexity and cost of compliance. In emerging markets and other jurisdictions with less developed legal systems, local laws and regulations may not be established with sufficiently clear and reliable guidance to provide us adequate assurance that we are operating our business in a compliant manner with all required licenses or that our rights are otherwise protected.

In addition, certain laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws in other jurisdictions in which we operate, could impact our operations outside of the legislating country by imposing requirements for the conduct of overseas operations, and in a number of cases, requiring compliance by foreign subsidiaries. We are also subject to economic and trade sanctions programs, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), which prohibit or restrict transactions or dealings with specified countries, their governments, and in certain circumstances, their nationals, and with individuals and entities that are specially designated.

Our employees, consultants or agents may still take actions in violation of our policies for which we may be ultimately responsible, or our policies and procedures may be inadequate or may be determined to be inadequate by regulators. Any violations of applicable anti-corruption, economic and trade sanctions or anti-money laundering laws or regulations could limit certain of our business activities until they are satisfactorily remediated and could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

The complexity of the laws and regulations themselves, the development of new laws and regulations, changes in application or interpretation of laws and regulations and our continued operational changes and development into new jurisdictions and new service offerings also increases our legal and regulatory compliance complexity as well as the type of governmental oversight to which we may be subject. These changes in laws and regulations could mandate significant and costly changes to the way we implement our services and solutions or could impose additional licensure requirements or costs to our operations and services, or limit our ability to mitigate risk. In addition, new regulatory or industry developments could create an increase in competition that could adversely affect us. These potential developments include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulations relating to health and welfare plans including potential challenges or changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, expansion of government-sponsored coverage through Medicare or the creation of a single payer system, or changes to the employee tax exclusion and/or employer deduction for employer-provided healthcare benefits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulations relating to defined contribution, defined benefit plans, and Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including retirement plan and pension reform that could decrease the attractiveness of certain of our retirement products and services to retirement plan sponsors and administrators or have an unfavorable effect on our ability to earn revenues from these products and services;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional requirements respecting data privacy and data usage in jurisdictions in which we operate that may increase our costs of compliance and potentially reduce the manner in which data can be used by us to develop or further our product offerings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in regulations relating to fiduciary rules;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in federal or state regulations relating to marketing and sale of Medicare plans, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to regulations of producers, brokers, agents or third-party administrators such as the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, that may alter operational costs, the manner in which we market or are compensated for certain services or other aspects of our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes to, or new, federal, state or provincial regulations relating to leave of absence programs or short-term or long-term disability plans, which could create more difficult and complex delivery requirements for our business leading to increased operational costs or increased enforcement and litigation for potential violations, including greater penalties for administrative errors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• additional regulations or revisions to existing regulations promulgated by other regulatory bodies in jurisdictions in which we operate.

For example, there have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals and executive actions at the federal and state levels directed at addressing the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. Although we cannot predict the ultimate content or timing of any healthcare reform legislation or executive action, potential changes resulting from any amendment, repeal or replacement of these programs, including any reduction in the future availability of healthcare insurance benefits, could adversely affect our business and future results of operations. Further, the federal government from time to time considers retirement plan and pension reform legislation, which could negatively impact our sales of defined benefit or defined contribution plan products and services and cause sponsors to discontinue existing plans for which we provide administrative or other services. Certain tax-favored savings initiatives that have been proposed could hinder sales and persistency of our products and services that support employment-based retirement plans.

Our services are also the subject of ever-evolving government regulation, either because the services provided to or business conducted by our clients are regulated directly or because third parties upon whom we rely to provide services to our clients are regulated, thereby indirectly impacting the manner in which we provide services to those clients. Changes in laws, government regulations or the way those regulations are interpreted in the jurisdictions in which we operate could affect the viability, value, use or delivery of benefits and HR programs, including changes in regulations relating to health and welfare plans (such as medical), defined contribution plans (such as 401(k)), or defined benefit plans (such as retirement plans or pensions) or IRAs, may adversely affect the demand for, or profitability of, our services.

In addition, as we, and the third parties upon whom we rely, implement and expand direct-to-consumer sales and marketing solutions, we are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations that prescribe when and how we may market to consumers (including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the "TCPA") and other telemarketing laws and the Medicare Communications and Marketing Guidelines issued by the Center for Medicare Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service). The TCPA provides for private rights of action and potential statutory damages for each violation and additional penalties for each willful violation. We have in the past and may in the future become subject to claims that we have violated the TCPA and/or other telemarketing laws. Changes to these laws could negatively affect our ability to market directly to consumers or increase our costs or liabilities.

***We are subject to professional liability claims against us as well as other contingencies and legal proceedings relating to our delivery of services, some of which, if determined unfavorably to us, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.***

We assist our clients with outsourcing various HR functions. Third parties may allege that we are liable for damages arising from these services in professional liability claims against us. Such claims could include, for example, the failure of our employees or sub-agents, whether negligently or intentionally, to correctly execute transactions. It is not always possible to prevent and detect errors and omissions, and the precautions we take may not be effective in all cases. In addition, we are or may be subject to other types of claims, litigation and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Claimants may seek damages, including punitive damages, in amounts that could, if awarded, have a material adverse impact on our financial position, earnings and cash flows. In addition to potential liability for monetary damages, such claims or outcomes could harm our reputation or divert management resources away from operating our business. While we maintain insurance to cover various aspects of professional liability and other claims, such coverage may not be adequate or applicable for certain claims or in the event of an adverse outcome related to such claims. In such

------

circumstances, we would be responsible for payment of amounts that are not covered by insurance and that could have a material adverse impact on our business. In some cases, due to other business considerations, we may elect to pay or settle professional liability or other claims even where we may not be contractually or legally obligated to do so.

Accruals for exposures, and related insurance receivables, when applicable to us, have been provided to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These accruals and receivables are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant and may also be adversely affected by disputes we may have with our insurers over coverage. Amounts related to our settlement provisions are recorded in other general expenses in our statements of income.

The ultimate outcome of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings cannot be ascertained, and liabilities in indeterminate amounts may be imposed on us. It is possible that our future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by an unfavorable disposition of these matters.

***We may become involved in claims, litigation or other proceedings that could harm the value of our business.***

We are subject to, and may become a party to, various claims, lawsuits or other proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Our business is subject to the risk of litigation or other proceedings involving current and former employees, clients, partners, suppliers, shareholders or others. For example, participants in our clients' benefit plans could claim, and have claimed, that we did not adequately protect their data or secure access to their accounts. Regardless of the merits of the claims, the cost to defend these claims may be significant, and such matters can be time-consuming and divert management's attention and resources. The outcomes of such matters in the ordinary course of our business are inherently uncertain, and adverse judgments or settlements could have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. In addition, we may become subject to future lawsuits, claims, audits and investigations, or suits, any of which could result in substantial costs and divert our attention and resources. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage our reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future. See Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for further information regarding our active legal matters.

***Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or allegations that we have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, could harm our reputation, ability to compete effectively and financial condition.***

To protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of trademark laws, copyright laws, patent laws, trade secret protection, confidentiality agreements and other contractual arrangements with our affiliates, employees, clients, strategic partners and others. However, the protective steps that we take may be inadequate to deter misappropriation of our proprietary information and technology. In addition, we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Further, effective trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we offer our services or competitors may develop products similar to our products that do not conflict with our related intellectual property rights. Failure to protect our intellectual property adequately could harm our reputation and affect our ability to compete effectively.

In addition, to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may initiate litigation against third parties, such as infringement suits or interference proceedings. Third parties may assert intellectual property rights claims against us, which may be costly to defend, could require the payment of damages and could limit our ability to use or offer certain technologies, products or other intellectual property. Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be expensive, take significant time and divert management's attention from other business concerns. Successful challenges against us could require us to modify or discontinue our use of technology or business processes where such use is found to infringe or violate the rights of others, or require us to purchase licenses from third parties (which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all), any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

***We might not be successful at acquiring, investing in or integrating businesses, entering into joint ventures or divesting businesses.***

We may not successfully identify additional suitable investment opportunities. We expect to continue pursuing strategic and targeted acquisitions, investments and joint ventures to enhance or add to our skills and capabilities or offerings of services and solutions, or to enable us to expand in certain geographic and other markets. There can be no assurance that pursuing strategic opportunities will result in any transactions or arrangements, and even if we do consummate a transaction or arrangement, there is no guarantee that such development will be accretive to our financial condition or results of operations.

Furthermore, we face risks in successfully integrating any businesses we have acquired, might acquire, or that we have created or may create through a joint venture or similar arrangement. Ongoing business may be disrupted, and our

------

management's attention may be diverted by acquisition, investment, transition or integration activities. In addition, we might need to dedicate additional management and other resources, and our organizational structure could make it difficult for us to efficiently integrate acquired businesses into our ongoing operations and assimilate and retain employees of those businesses into our culture and operations. The potential loss of key executives, employees, clients, suppliers and other business partners of businesses we acquire may adversely impact the value of the assets, operations or businesses. Furthermore, acquisitions or joint ventures may result in significant costs and expenses, including those related to retention payments, equity compensation, severance pay, early retirement costs, intangible asset amortization and asset impairment charges, assumed litigation and other liabilities, and legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, which could negatively affect our profitability. We may have difficulties as a result of entering into new markets where we have limited or no direct prior experience or where competitors may have stronger market positions.

We might fail to realize the expected benefits or strategic objectives of any acquisition, investment or joint venture we undertake. We might not achieve our expected return on investment or may lose money. We may be adversely impacted by liabilities that we assume from a company we acquire or in which we invest, including from that company's known and unknown obligations, intellectual property or other assets, terminated employees, current or former clients or other third parties. In addition, we may fail to identify or adequately assess the magnitude of certain liabilities, shortcomings or other circumstances prior to acquiring, investing in or partnering with a company, including potential exposure to regulatory scrutiny and sanctions or liabilities resulting from an acquisition target's previous activities, internal controls and security environment. If any of these circumstances occurs, they could result in unexpected legal or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting treatment, unexpected increases in taxes or other adverse effects on our business. Litigation, indemnification claims and other unforeseen claims and liabilities may arise from the acquisition or operation of acquired businesses. If we are unable to complete the number and kind of investments for which we plan, or if we are inefficient or unsuccessful at integrating any acquired businesses into our operations, we may not be able to achieve our planned rates of growth or improve our market share, profitability or competitive position in specific markets or services.

In the future, we may also issue our securities in connection with corporate activity, such as investments or acquisitions. The amount of shares of our Class A Common Stock issued in connection with an investment or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. The market price of our Class A Common Stock could drop significantly if we or if other significant stockholders sell shares or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

We periodically evaluate, and have engaged in, the disposition of assets and businesses, such as the Divestiture. Dispositions could involve difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention, the disruption of our business and the potential loss of key employees. After reaching an agreement with a buyer for the disposition of a business, the transaction may be subject to the satisfaction of pre-closing conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory and government approvals, which, if not satisfied or obtained, may prevent us from completing the transaction. Dispositions may also involve continued financial involvement in or liability with respect to the divested assets and businesses, such as indemnities or other financial obligations, in which the performance of the divested assets or businesses could impact our results of operations. Any disposition we undertake could adversely affect our results of operations.

***Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic partnerships with third parties.***

We enter into strategic partnerships with third parties to enhance and extend the capabilities of our solutions in the ordinary course of our business. In order to continue to grow our business and enhance and extend our capabilities, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on the continuation and expansion of our strategic partnerships with third parties. Identifying partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources.

If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, if we fail to comply with material terms (such as maintaining any required certifications) or if our strategic partners fail to perform as expected, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenues could be impaired, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased client usage of our solutions or increased revenues.

***Our business is dependent on continued interest in outsourcing.***

Our business and growth depend in large part on continued interest in outsourced services. Outsourcing means that an entity contracts with a third party, such as us, to provide services rather than perform such services in-house. There can be no assurance that this interest will continue, as organizations may elect to perform such services themselves and/or the business process outsourcing industry could move to an as-a-service model, thereby eliminating traditional outsourcing

------

tasks. A significant change in this interest in outsourcing could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

***Our success depends on our ability to retain and attract experienced and qualified personnel, including our senior management team and other professional personnel.***

We depend upon the members of our senior management team who possess extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of our business. The unexpected loss of any of our senior management team could have a disruptive effect adversely impacting our ability to manage our business effectively and execute our business strategy. Competition for experienced professional personnel is intense, particularly for technology professionals in the areas in which we operate, and we are constantly working to retain and attract these professionals. If we cannot successfully do so, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. We must develop our personnel to provide succession plans capable of maintaining continuity in the midst of the inevitable unpredictability of personnel retention. While we have plans for key management succession and long-term compensation plans designed to retain the senior employees, and continue to review and update those plans, if our succession plans do not operate effectively, particularly in an increasingly competitive job market, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we have experienced turnover in our senior management team in recent years. Changes to strategic or operating goals, which sometimes occur with the appointment of new leaders, may create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful.

***Our inability to successfully recover should we experience a catastrophic event, disaster or other business continuity problem could cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, regulatory actions, reputational harm or legal liability.***

Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our personnel, offices and technology infrastructure against damage from business continuity events that could have a significant disruptive effect on our operations. Should we or a key vendor or other third party experience a local or regional disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane, or other weather event, terrorist attack, pandemic, security breach, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions or other natural or man-made disaster, our continued success will depend, in part, on the availability of our personnel, office facilities and the proper functioning of existing, new or upgraded computer systems, telecommunications and other related systems and operations. In events like these, while our operational size, the multiple locations from which we operate and our existing back-up systems provide us with some degree of flexibility, we still can experience near-term operational challenges with regard to particular areas of our operations. We could potentially lose access to key executives and personnel, client data or experience material adverse interruptions to our operations or delivery of services to our clients in a disaster recovery scenario.

We regularly assess and take steps to improve upon our existing business continuity plans and key management succession. However, a disaster on a significant scale or affecting certain of our key operating areas within or across regions, or our inability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem, could materially interrupt our business operations and cause material financial loss, loss of human capital, regulatory actions, reputational harm, damaged client relationships or legal liability.

***If our clients are not satisfied with our services, we may face additional cost, loss of profit opportunities and damage to our reputation or legal liability.***

We depend, to a large extent, on our relationships with our clients and our reputation to understand our clients' needs and deliver solutions and services that are tailored to satisfy those needs. If a client is not satisfied with our services, it may be damaging to our business and could cause us to incur additional costs and impact profitability. Many of our clients are businesses that band together in industry groups and/or trade associations and actively share information among themselves about the quality of service they receive from their vendors. Accordingly, poor service to one client may negatively impact our relationships with multiple other clients. Moreover, if we fail to meet our contractual obligations, we could be subject to legal liability or loss of client relationships.

***Damage to our reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

Our reputation is a key asset of our business. Our ability to attract and retain clients is highly dependent upon the external perceptions of our level of service, trustworthiness, business practices, financial condition and other subjective qualities. Negative perceptions or publicity regarding these matters could erode trust and confidence and damage our reputation among existing and potential clients, which could make it difficult for us to attract new clients and maintain existing ones as mentioned above. Negative public opinion could also result from actual or alleged conduct by us or those currently or formerly associated with us in any number of activities or circumstances, including operations, regulatory

------

compliance, and the use and protection of data and systems, satisfaction of client expectations, and from actions taken by regulators or others in response to such conduct. This damage to our reputation could further affect the confidence of our clients, rating agencies, regulators, stockholders and the other parties in a wide range of transactions that are important to our business having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***We depend on licenses of third-party software to provide our services. The inability to maintain these licenses or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs, or reduced service levels, which would adversely affect our business.***

Our applications incorporate certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on such third-party software and development tools from third parties in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to replace. In addition, integration of the software used in our applications with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. To the extent that our applications depend upon the successful operation of third-party software in conjunction with our software, any undetected errors or defects in this third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our own applications, delay new application introductions, result in a failure of our applications and injure our reputation. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties.

***We rely on third parties to perform key functions of our business operations and to provide services to our clients. These third parties may act in ways that could harm our business.***

As we continue to focus on reducing the expense necessary to support our operations, we have increasingly used outsourcing strategies for a significant portion of our information technology and business functions. We rely on third parties, and in some cases subcontractors, to provide services, data and information such as technology, information security, funds transfers, data processing, and administration and support functions that are critical to the operations of our business. We expect to continue to assess and potentially expand such relationships in the future. As we do not fully control the actions of these third parties, we are subject to the risk that their decisions may adversely impact us and replacing these service providers could create significant delay and expense. A failure by the third parties to comply with service level agreements or regulatory or legal requirements, in a high quality and timely manner, particularly during periods of our peak demand for their services, could result in economic and reputational harm to us. In addition, these third parties face their own technology, operating, business and economic risks, and any significant failures by them, including the improper use or disclosure of our confidential client, employee, or business information, could cause harm to our reputation. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any service provider as a result of systems failures, capacity constraints, financial difficulties or for any other reason could disrupt our operations, impact our ability to offer certain products and services, and result in contractual or regulatory penalties, liability claims from clients and/or employees, damage to our reputation and harm to our business.

***Our business is exposed to risks associated with the handling of client funds.***

Our business performs, among other things, retirement and health plan administration and related services for certain clients. Consequently, at any given time, we may be holding or directing funds of our clients and their employees, while benefit plan payments are processed. This function creates a risk of loss arising from, among other things, fraud by employees or third parties, execution of unauthorized transactions or errors relating to transaction processing. A single significant incident of fraud could result in financial and reputational damage to us, which could reduce the use and acceptance of our products and services or cause our clients and/or partners to cease doing business with us. We are also potentially at risk in the event the financial institution in which these funds are held suffers any kind of insolvency or liquidity event or fails, for any reason, to deliver their services in a timely manner. The occurrence of any of these types of events in connection with this function could cause us financial loss and reputational harm.

***Our global operations expose us to various international risks that could adversely affect our business.***

Our operations are conducted globally. Accordingly, we are subject to legal, economic and market risks associated with operating in, and sourcing from, foreign countries, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulties in staffing and managing our offices, such as unexpected wage inflation, worker attrition, visa requirements, job turnover, increased travel and infrastructure costs, as well as legal and compliance costs associated with multiple international locations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations or unexpected volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• imposition or increase of investment and other restrictions by foreign governments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• extensive and sometimes conflicting regulations in the countries in which we do business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• restrictions on the import and export of technologies; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• trade barriers, tariffs or sanctions laws.

If we are unable to manage the risks of our global operations, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

***Our global delivery capability is concentrated in certain key operational centers, which may expose us to operational risks.***

Our business model is dependent on our global delivery capability, which includes employees and third-party personnel based at various delivery centers around the world. While these delivery centers are located throughout the world, we or third parties operating on our behalf have based large portions of our delivery capability in India, Poland and the Philippines. Concentrating our global delivery capability in these locations presents operational risks, many of which are beyond our control. For example, natural disasters (including those as a result of climate change) and public health threats could impair the ability of our people to safely travel to and work in our facilities and disrupt our ability to perform work through those delivery centers. Additionally, other countries may experience political instability, worker strikes, civil unrest and hostilities with neighboring countries. If any of these circumstances occurs, we have a greater risk that interruptions in communications with our clients and other locations and personnel, and any downtime in important processes we operate for clients, could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our reputation in the marketplace.

***The profitability of our engagements with clients may not meet our expectations due to unexpected costs, cost overruns, early contract terminations, unrealized assumptions used in our contract bidding process or the inability to maintain our prices in light of any inflationary and competitive circumstances.***

Our profitability is highly dependent upon our ability to control our costs and improve our efficiency. As we adapt to change in our business, adapt to the regulatory environment, enter into new engagements, acquire additional businesses and take on new employees in new locations, we may not be able to manage our large, diverse and changing workforce, control our costs or improve our efficiency. In addition, certain client contracts may include unique or heavily customized requirements that limit our ability to fully recognize economies of scale across our business units.

Most new outsourcing arrangements undergo an implementation process whereby our systems and processes are customized to match a client's plans and programs. The cost of this process is estimated by us and often only partially funded (if at all) by our clients. If the actual implementation expense exceeds our estimate or if the ongoing service cost is greater than anticipated, the client contract may be less profitable than expected. Even though outsourcing clients typically sign long-term contracts, many of these contracts may be terminated at any time, with or without cause, by the client upon written notice, typically between 90 to 360 days before expiration.

In such cases, our clients are generally required to pay a termination fee, however, this amount may not be sufficient to offset the costs we incurred in connection with the implementation and system set-up or fully compensate us for the profit we would have received if the contract had not been cancelled. A client may choose to delay or terminate a current or anticipated project as a result of factors unrelated to our work product or progress, such as the business or financial condition of the client or general economic conditions. When any of our engagements are terminated, we may not be able to eliminate associated ongoing costs or redeploy the affected employees in a timely manner to minimize the impact on profitability. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these engagements, including delays caused by factors outside our control could have an adverse effect on our profit margin.

Our profit margin, and therefore our profitability, is largely a function of the rates we are able to charge for our services and the staffing costs for our personnel. Accordingly, if we are not able to maintain the rates we charge for our services or appropriately manage the staffing costs of our personnel, we may not be able to sustain our profit margin and our profitability will suffer. The prices we are able to charge for our services are affected by a number of factors, including competitive factors, cost of living adjustment provisions, the extent of ongoing clients' perception of our ability to add value through our services and general economic conditions such as inflation (including wage inflation). Our profitability is largely based on our ability to drive cost efficiencies and maintain competitive rates during the term of our contracts for our services provided to clients. If we cannot drive suitable cost efficiencies, our profit margins will suffer.

------

***We might not be able to achieve the cost savings required to sustain and increase our profit margins.***

We provide our outsourcing services over long-term periods for variable or fixed fees that generally are less than our clients' historical costs to provide for themselves the services we contract to deliver. Clients' demand for cost reductions may increase over the term of the agreement. As a result, we generally bear the risk of increases in the cost of delivering services to our clients, and our margins associated with particular contracts will depend on our ability to control our costs of performance under those contracts and meet our service commitments cost-effectively. Over time, some of our operating expenses will increase as we invest in additional infrastructure and implement new technologies to maintain our competitive position and meet our client service commitments. We must anticipate and respond to the dynamics of our industry and business by using quality systems, process management, improved asset utilization and effective supplier management tools. We must do this while continuing to grow our business so that our fixed costs are spread over an increasing revenue base. If we are not able to achieve this, our ability to sustain and increase profitability may be reduced.

***We cannot guarantee that our previously announced restructuring program will achieve its intended result.***

On May 6, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program (the "Post-Separation Plan" or "PSP") intended to further optimize our operations following the sale of the Divested Business in July 2024. The PSP includes simplifying our post-divestiture operating model, rationalizing our technology spend, expanding our use of artificial intelligence and automation and continued optimization of real estate. The Company currently expects to record in the aggregate approximately $65 million in pre-tax restructuring costs over the duration of the PSP, which commenced in the second quarter of 2025 and is expected to be substantially completed over an estimated fifteen-month period from the commencement date.

We cannot guarantee that the restructuring program will achieve or sustain the targeted benefits, or that the benefits, even if achieved, will be adequate to meet our long-term profitability expectations. Risks associated with the restructuring program could also include additional unexpected costs, negative impacts on our cash flows from operations and liquidity, employee attrition and adverse effects on employee morale and our potential failure to meet operational and growth targets due to the loss of employees, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated results from operations or otherwise harm our business. See Note 17, "Restructuring" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information on our restructuring program.

***Changes in accounting principles or in our accounting estimates and assumptions could negatively affect our financial position and results of operations.***

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. We are also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, those relating to revenue recognition, recoverability of assets including receivables, contingencies, income taxes, share-based payments and estimates and assumptions used for our long-term contracts. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on specific circumstances. These assumptions and estimates involve the exercise of judgment and discretion, which may evolve over time in light of operational experience, regulatory direction, developments in accounting principles and other factors. Actual results could differ from these estimates, or changes in assumptions, estimates or policies or the developments in the business or the application of accounting principles related to these areas may change our results from operations.

***We may be required to record goodwill or other long-lived asset impairment charges, which could result in a significant charge to earnings.***

We have goodwill and purchased intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet as a result of the Business Combination (as defined in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Business - Business Combination") and other acquisitions. Under GAAP, we review our long-lived assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and fixed assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. Factors that may be considered in assessing whether goodwill or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include reduced estimates of future cash flows and slower growth rates in our industry. We may experience unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect the value of our goodwill or other long-lived assets and trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and other long-lived assets. Future goodwill or other long-lived asset impairment charges could materially impact our financial statements.

------

We have in the past recorded, and may in the future be required to record, significant charges in our consolidated financial statements during the period in which any impairment of our goodwill or intangible assets is determined. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded aggregate non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $3,124 million to reduce their carrying values to their estimated fair values. The incurrence of additional impairment charges could negatively affect our results of operations and adversely impact our net worth and our consolidated earnings in the period of such charge. See Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible assets, net" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

***Our work with government clients exposes us to additional risks inherent in the government contracting environment.***

A portion of our revenues is derived from contracts with or on behalf of national, state, regional and local governments and their agencies. In some cases, our services to public sector clients are provided through or are dependent upon relationships with third parties. For instance, we provide services for the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board through our contract with Accenture Federal Services.

Government contracts are subject to heightened contractual risks compared to contracts with non-governmental commercial clients. For example, government contracts often contain high or unlimited liability for breaches. Additionally, government contracts are generally subject to routine audits and investigations by government agencies. If the government discovers improper or illegal activities or contractual non-compliance (including improper billing), we may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Also, the qui tam provisions of the federal and various state civil False Claims Acts authorize a private person to file civil actions under these statutes on behalf of the federal and state governments. Further, the negative publicity that could arise from any such penalties, sanctions or findings could have an adverse effect on our reputation and reduce our ability to compete for new contracts with both government and commercial clients. Moreover, government entities typically finance projects through appropriated funds. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects, government entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of or terminate these projects for lack of approved funding or at their convenience. Changes in government or political developments, including budget deficits, shortfalls or uncertainties, government spending reductions (such as the new presidential administration's related initiatives) or other debt or funding constraints, could result in lower governmental sales and our projects being reduced in price or scope or terminated altogether, which also could limit our recovery of incurred costs, reimbursable expenses and profits on work completed prior to the termination. Any of the occurrences and conditions described above could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

***We are subject to taxation related risks in multiple jurisdictions.***

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets or liabilities and in evaluating our tax positions on a worldwide basis. While we believe our tax positions are consistent with the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business, these positions are frequently challenged by jurisdictional tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these challenges or examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from these examinations. While we believe our tax estimates and any tax reserves are reasonable, we cannot provide assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Tax laws are being re-examined and evaluated globally. New laws and interpretations of the law are taken into account for financial statement purposes in the quarter or year that they become applicable. Tax authorities are increasingly scrutinizing the tax positions of companies. Many countries in the European Union, as well as a number of other countries and organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the European Commission, are actively considering changes to existing tax laws that, if enacted, could increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business. These proposals include changes to the existing framework to calculate income tax, as well as proposals to change or impose new types of non-income taxes, including taxes based on a percentage of revenue. For example, several countries in the European Union have proposed or enacted taxes applicable to digital services, which includes business activities on social media platforms and online marketplaces, and may apply to our business. Many questions remain about the enactment, form and application of these digital services taxes. The interpretation and implementation of the various digital services taxes (especially if there is inconsistency in the application of these taxes across tax jurisdictions) could have a materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Moreover, if the U.S. or other foreign tax authorities change applicable tax laws, our overall taxes could increase, and our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted.

**Risks Related to Ownership of our Securities**

***The Sponsor Investors have significant influence over the Company and their interests may conflict with the Company's or its stockholders in the future.***

Under the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation ("Charter") and the Investor Rights Agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement") that the Company entered into with Trasimene Capital FT, LP, Bilcar FT, LP, and Cannae Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor Investors") and certain other investors as part of the Business Combination, as amended on February 2, 2023, the Company agreed to nominate to its Board of Directors certain individuals designated by the Sponsor Investors for so long as such investors retain a certain ownership interest in the Company and/or its wholly owned subsidiary Alight Holding Company, LLC ("Alight Holdings"). The Sponsor Investors continue to have the right to designate, and have designated three of the eleven directors on our Board of Directors, including the Chairman. As a result, the Sponsor Investors may be considered to have significant influence with respect to the Company's management, business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of the Company's officers. For so long as such investors continue to own a significant percentage of the Class A Common Stock, such investors may be able to cause or prevent a change of control of our company or a change in the composition of our board of directors and could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of our company. The concentration of ownership could deprive you of an opportunity to receive a premium for your Class A Common Stock as part of a sale of our company and ultimately might affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

***Our Charter and Bylaws, and applicable law and regulations, as well as the Investor Rights Agreement, contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.***

Our Charter, our amended and restated by-laws ("Bylaws") and the Investor Rights Agreement contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other change in control transaction that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which the Company's stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their Class A Common Stock. These provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to replace or remove Company management, such as authorization to issue blank check preferred stock without stockholder approval, limitations on actions taken by stockholders, advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals, a classified board of directors, prohibitions on certain business combinations, the ability of the Board to fill certain director vacancies and limitations on the removal of directors by stockholders.

Additionally, one of our subsidiaries, Alight Financial Solutions, LLC ("AFS"), is a member in good standing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), and is subject to change in ownership or control regulations as a result. FINRA's Rule 1017 requires that any member of FINRA file an application for approval of any change in ownership that would result in one person or entity directly or indirectly owning or controlling 25% or more of member firm's equity capital. A "substantially complete" application must be filed at least 30 days prior to effecting a change. The approval process under Rule 1017 can take six months or more to complete. The required FINRA process under Rule 1017, including the required 30-day notice period before effecting a change in ownership, could hinder or delay a third party in any effort to acquire us or a substantial position in our Class A Common Stock following the business combination, where such acquisition would result in the applicable person or persons, directly or indirectly, owning or controlling 25% or more of AFS. A denial of FINRA approval could prevent or delay any transaction resulting from a change of control or AFS withdrawing its broker-dealer registration, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or future prospects. A denial of any other application AFS has made under Rule 1017 could also have a material adverse effect on us.

The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for the Company's shares. They could also deter potential acquirers of the Company, thereby reducing the likelihood that stockholders could receive a premium for their shares in an acquisition. See "Description of Securities" included as Exhibit 4.1 to this Annual Report for a more detailed discussion of these provisions.

***If securities or industry analysts downgrade their recommendations regarding our Class A Common Stock, the price of our Class A Common Stock and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our Class A Common Stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A Common Stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Class A Common Stock may decline. If analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the price of our Class A Common Stock or trading volume to decline and our Class A Common Stock to be less liquid.

------

***The market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock has been, and may continue to be volatile and may decline regardless of our operating performance, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.***

The market price of our Class A Common Stock has fluctuated significantly in response to numerous factors and may continue to be subject to wide fluctuations. Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the per share trading close price of our Class A Common Stock fluctuated from a low of $1.94 to a high of $7.05. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock regardless of our operating performance. In addition, our operating results may fail to match our past performance and could be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors due to a number of potential factors, including variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends, if any, to shareholders, additions or departures of key management personnel, failure to meet analysts' earnings estimates, publication of research reports about our industry, the performance of direct and indirect competitors, announcements of technological developments, litigation and government investigations, changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations or differing interpretations or enforcement thereof affecting our business, adverse market reaction to any indebtedness we may incur or securities we may issue in the future, changes in market valuations of similar companies, announcements by our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, dispositions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments, adverse publicity about the industries we participate in or individual scandals. In addition, the market price of shares of our Class A Common Stock could be subject to additional volatility or decrease significantly as a result of speculation in the press or the investment community about our industry or our company, including, as a result of short sellers who publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations of our business prospects or similar matters calculated to create negative market momentum in order to profit from a decline in the market price of our Class A Common Stock. Stock markets and the price of our Class A Common Stock have, and may in the future, experience extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company's securities, including as a result of reports published by short sellers, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, as well as responding to reports published by short sellers or other speculation in the press or investment community, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources.

***The Company's decision to maintain, reduce or discontinue paying cash dividends to our stockholders or repurchasing our Class A Common Stock could cause the market price for our Class A Common Stock to decline.***

Our Board of Directors previously adopted a dividend program, pursuant to which we paid a cash dividend on our Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis. The declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the approval of our Board of Directors and any dividend program may be discontinued or reduced at any time. On February 19, 2026, we announced we are replacing our cash dividend with more efficient capital allocation activities. Separately, as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $216 million remaining of authorization under our existing share repurchase program. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares and there is no guarantee as to any number of shares being repurchased by the Company. Because we are a holding company with no material assets other than its direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in Alight Holdings, the Company has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares is dependent on the financial results and cash flows of Alight Holdings and its subsidiaries and the distributions that we receive from Alight Holdings.

Any decisions made regarding quarterly dividend payments or our repurchase activities could have a negative effect on our reputation and could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline significantly. In addition, the payment of dividends and repurchases of shares are uses of cash, which may reduce the availability of cash for other business purposes, including investments, acquisitions, or repayment of indebtedness.

***There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NYSE for our Class A Common Stock.***

Our Class A Common Stock is currently listed on NYSE. NYSE imposes requirements that must be complied with in order for a company's shares to remain listed on NYSE. In order for our Class A Common Stock to continue to be listed on NYSE, we will need to comply with these requirements, some of which are not completely within the Company's control. Notably, NYSE's continued listing standards require that the average closing price of a security is not less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period (the "minimum share price standard"). There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NYSE, including the minimum share price standard. The price of our common stock has ranged from $1.94 per share on December 31, 2025 to $0.80 per share on February 19, 2026. If the average closing price of a security is less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, then NYSE will send the Company a notice of non-compliance and provide a six month cure period to regain compliance.

------

The receipt of a notice of noncompliance from NYSE can have adverse consequences for the Company, even if the Company is able to regain compliance and avoid delisting. Receipt of such a notice can have an adverse impact on investor sentiment and in turn result in a decrease in the share price of our Class A Common Stock. Further, receipt of such a notice can have an adverse impact on the sentiment of our lenders and in turn make it more difficult to obtain and maintain these relationships in the future. Further, if NYSE delists the Company's Class A Common Stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the Company and its shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reduced liquidity for our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a determination that shares of the Class A Common Stock are a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in the Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

**Risks Related to our Organizational Structure**

***The Company is a holding company, and our only material asset is our direct and indirect interests in Alight Holdings, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions from Alight Holdings to pay dividends, taxes and other expenses, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.***

The Company is a holding company with no material assets other than its direct and indirect ownership of equity interests in Alight Holdings, of which the Company serves as the managing member. As a result, the Company has no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow and the Company is dependent on the financial results and cash flows of Alight Holdings and its subsidiaries and the distributions that we receive from Alight Holdings in order to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, pay dividends (including any dividends or amounts payable in connection with the conversion or exchange of Class B Common Stock and Class B Units) and pay other costs and expenses of the Company. While we intend to cause Alight Holdings to continue to make distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses, deterioration in the financial condition, earnings or cash flow of Alight Holdings for any reason could limit or impair Alight Holdings' ability to pay such distributions. Additionally, to the extent that the Company needs funds and Alight Holdings is restricted from making such distributions under applicable laws or regulations or under the terms of any financing arrangements, or Alight Holdings is otherwise unable to provide such funds, it could materially adversely affect the Company's liquidity and financial condition. Such restrictions include Alight Holdings' financing facilities to which Alight Holdings' subsidiaries are borrowers or guarantors. Alight Holdings' distributions, as a result of such financing facilities, are limited based on the achievement of certain financial ratios and fixed dollar baskets, availability under which will vary depending on the Company's financial performance. We currently anticipate that Alight Holdings will have sufficient capacity to make the dividends and other distributions described above. Distributions may also be restricted pursuant to the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement and applicable Delaware law. Under the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement, the Company (as managing member) is prohibited from making distributions if they would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act ("DLLCA") or another applicable law. Under the DLLCA, limited liability companies are generally restricted from making distributions to their members to the extent that, after giving effect to any such distribution, the company's liabilities (subject to certain limited exclusions) exceed the fair value of the company's assets.

Under the terms of the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement, Alight Holdings is obligated to make tax distributions to holders of units of Alight Holdings ("Alight Holdings Units") (including us) at an assumed tax rate, subject to there being available cash. The amount of these tax distributions may in certain periods exceed our tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which may result significant excess cash accumulation at the Company. Our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, will determine from time to time how to use any cash that accumulates at the Company as a result, which may include, among other potential uses, repurchases of our Class A Common Stock or the payment of dividends thereon. However, we will have no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than as a result of any declared dividend) to our stockholders. To the extent that the Company does not use any such accumulated cash, following the exchange or redemption of Class A Units for Class A Common Stock, Continuing Tempo Unitholders may benefit from value attributable to such cash balances as a result of their ownership of Class A Common Stock, notwithstanding that such Continuing Tempo Unitholders may previously have participated or received distributions as holders of Alight Holdings Units that resulted in the excess cash balances at the Company.

***The Company is required to pay certain parties for most of the benefits relating to any additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions that we may claim as a result of the Company's direct and indirect allocable share of existing***

------

***tax basis acquired in the Business Combination, the Company's increase in its allocable share of existing tax basis and anticipated tax basis adjustments we receive in connection with sales or exchanges of Alight Holdings Units after the Business Combination.***

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into a tax receivable agreement (the "Tax Receivable Agreement" or the "TRA") with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners (including their assignees, the "TRA Parties") that provides for the payment by the Company to the TRA Parties of 85% of the benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) the Company's direct and indirect allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination, (ii) increases in the Company's allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Alight Holdings as a result of the Business Combination and as a result of sales or exchanges of Alight Holdings Units for shares of Class A Common Stock after the Business Combination and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These increases in existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, may reduce the amount of tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge. Actual tax benefits realized by the Company may differ from tax benefits calculated under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. The payment obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement is an obligation of the Company and not of Alight Holdings. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges of Alight Holdings Units for shares of our Class A Common Stock, the applicable tax rate, the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock at the time of exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income, we expect that as a result of the size of the transfers and increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Alight Holdings and our possible utilization of tax attributes, including existing tax basis acquired at the time of the Business Combination, the payments that the Company may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned on the exchanging holders of Alight Holdings Units or other TRA Parties continuing to hold ownership interests in us. To the extent payments are due to the TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the payments are generally required to be made within ten business days after the tax benefit schedule (which sets forth the Company's realized tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement for the relevant taxable year) is finalized, and the calculations used to derive such payments are subject to review by the TRA Parties. The Company is required to deliver such a tax benefit schedule to the TRA Parties' representative, for its review, within ninety calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of the Company's federal corporate income tax return for the relevant taxable year.

***In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.***

The Company's payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated in the event of certain changes of control or its election to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early. The accelerated payments will relate to all relevant tax attributes then allocable to the Company in the case of an acceleration upon a change of control and to all relevant tax attributes allocable or that would be allocable to the Company (in the case of an election by the Company to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, assuming all Alight Holdings Units were then exchanged). The accelerated payments required in such circumstances will be calculated by reference to the present value, at a specified discount rate, of all future payments that holders of Alight Holdings Units or other recipients would have been entitled to receive under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and such accelerated payments and any other future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will utilize certain valuation assumptions, including that the Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement and sufficient taxable income to fully utilize any remaining net operating losses subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement on a straight line basis over the shorter of the statutory expiration period for such net operating losses or the five-year period after the early termination or change of control. In addition, recipients of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such tax basis and the Company's utilization of certain tax attributes is successfully challenged by the IRS (although any such detriment would be taken into account in future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement). The Company's ability to achieve benefits from any existing tax basis, tax basis adjustments or other tax attributes, and the payments to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will depend upon a number of factors, including the timing and amount of our future income. As a result, even in the absence of a change of control or an election

------

to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could be in excess of 85% of the Company's actual cash tax benefits.

Accordingly, it is possible that the actual cash tax benefits realized by the Company may be significantly less than the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments or that payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be made years in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the anticipated future tax benefits. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual cash tax benefits that the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or distributions to the Company by Alight Holdings are not sufficient to permit the Company to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid taxes and other expenses. Based upon certain assumptions, we estimate that if the Company were to exercise its termination right as of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of these termination payments would be significantly in excess of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements within this Annual Report. We may need to incur additional indebtedness to finance payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the extent our cash resources are insufficient to meet our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, and these obligations could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control. For more information regarding our liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement, refer to Note 15, "Tax Receivable Agreement" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report.

***The acceleration of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the case of certain changes of control may impair our ability to consummate change of control transactions or negatively impact the value of our Class A Common Stock.***

In the case of a "Change of Control" under the Tax Receivable Agreement (which is defined to include, among other things, a 50% change in control of the Company, the approval of a complete plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or the disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's direct or indirect assets), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be accelerated and may significantly exceed the actual benefits the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect that the payments that we may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the calculation of which is described in the immediately preceding risk factor) in the event of a change of control will be substantial. As a result, our accelerated payment obligations and/or the assumptions adopted under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the case of a change of control may impair our ability to consummate change of control transactions or negatively impact the value received by owners of our Class A Common Stock in a change of control transaction.

**Risks Related to Our Indebtedness**

***Refinancing our debt may include terms less favorable to us***

It is likely that we will need to refinance at least a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. Our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on acceptable terms, will be dependent upon a number of factors, including conditions in the credit markets at the time we refinance. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness, or that any such refinancing would be on terms as favorable to us as the terms of any maturing indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms at least as favorable as our current agreements, it could result in a higher allocation of cash to debt servicing, which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources."

***Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.***

Interest rates may increase in the future. As a result, interest rates on our term loan facility and revolving credit facility, or any other variable rate debt offerings that we may engage in, could be higher or lower than current levels. Although we use derivative financial instruments to some extent to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate risks, we do not attempt to manage our entire exposure. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $2.0 billion of outstanding debt at variable interest rates. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on our variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease.

***Changes in our credit ratings could adversely impact our operations and lower our profitability.***

Credit rating agencies continually revise their ratings and outlooks for the companies that they rate, including us. Credit rating agencies also evaluate our industry as a whole and may qualify or change their credit ratings for us based on their overall view of our industry, global economic conditions or other geopolitical factors. Failure to maintain credit

------

ratings that provide access to debt markets at reasonable interest rates could increase our cost of borrowing, reduce our ability to obtain intra-day borrowing, which we may need to operate our business, and adversely impact our business, including our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.** 

Not applicable.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.** 

Alight recognizes the importance of developing, implementing and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures designed to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data in our care. The Company utilizes a cross-functional group of colleagues representing various stakeholders including technology, security, finance, internal audit, legal and others to identify and manage risks across the organization, including risks relating to cybersecurity.

The Company's cybersecurity program is focused on continuous improvement and takes a layered approach to cybersecurity to include prevention, detection, and response-based controls. Our preventative measures include network-based controls, malware defenses, email security, encryption for data in motion and at rest, continuous vulnerability testing and mitigation, and multi-factor authentication. Our detection and response measures include comprehensive logging and continuous monitoring utilizing both in-house and Managed Security Services, forensics capability, and an enterprise crisis management function. Alight employees are assigned data privacy and security training upon on-boarding and annually thereafter. The training is designed in collaboration with a third-party service provider and is designed to raise awareness of security practices and to educate employees on how to protect information and infrastructure.

To support the overall cybersecurity program, Alight maintains an incident management team that tracks and logs privacy and security incidents across Alight, our vendors, and partners to better manage remediation and resolution of any such incidents. Significant incidents are promptly reviewed by a cross-functional working group to determine whether further escalation is appropriate. Any incident assessed as potentially being or potentially becoming material is escalated for further review, and then reported to designated members of our executive leadership team where needed. We consult with outside counsel and forensics firms as appropriate, including on materiality analysis and disclosure matters, and members of our executive leadership team make the final materiality determinations and, if appropriate, disclosure to law enforcement, regulators or clients. Our executive leadership team apprises Alight's Board of Directors and our independent public accounting firm of significant matters and any relevant developments.

Our cybersecurity frameworks are informed by third-party standards relevant to our industry such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Center for Internet Security and the International Standards Organization. We regularly test our cybersecurity defenses through both automated and manual testing to identify, prioritize and remediate risk. Alight also engages third parties to examine and report on the effectiveness of our controls relating to our systems, including those used in the cybersecurity frameworks.

Our Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information & Security Officer and Chief Legal Officer provide periodic reports on our cybersecurity and risk management efforts, including with respect to information security practices, to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee"), as well as to other members of our executive leadership team, as appropriate. These reports include updates on the Company's cyber risks and threats, the status of projects to strengthen our information security systems, assessments of the information security program, and the emerging threat landscape. Where appropriate, the Audit Committee then periodically reports to the full Board of Directors regarding the Company's assessment of potential risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks, which includes the Company's cybersecurity program designed to prevent, detect, and rapidly respond to any potential incident.

In addition to our scheduled meetings, the Audit Committee and executive leadership team maintain an ongoing dialogue regarding emerging or potential cybersecurity risks. Together, they receive updates on significant developments in cybersecurity to facilitate proactive and responsive oversight. The Audit Committee is apprised of strategic decisions related to cybersecurity, offering guidance and approval for major initiatives. This involvement helps drive integration of cybersecurity considerations into our Company's broader strategic objectives.

Additionally, because Alight partners with a number of third parties in the ordinary course of business, our management team has developed and implemented processes to oversee and manage significant risks associated with use of third-party service providers. We conduct thorough security assessments of critical third-party providers before engagement and periodically monitor vendor compliance with our security standards. The monitoring includes periodic assessments by our vendor management team and use of an independent vendor risk rating service that alerts Alight when

------

there is a change in a service providers security posture. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents originating from third parties.

Our Chief Information & Security Officer has over 30 years of experience in the cybersecurity industry, including, prior to joining Alight in 2021, as the SVP, Chief Information Security Officer at a multinational health insurance and health services company in the Fortune 100, and as head of cybersecurity for a U.S.-based financial services company in the Fortune 500, as well as for a federal banking institution and for a professional services company in the Fortune 500 specializing in information technology services. Our Chief Information & Security Officer reports directly to the Chief Technology Officer and meets regularly with other members of senior management and the Audit Committee.

Our program is regularly evaluated by internal stakeholders and external parties with the results of those reviews reported to the executive leadership team and the Audit Committee, as appropriate. We also actively engage with key vendors, industry participants, and intelligence and law enforcement communities as part of our continuing efforts to evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of our information security policies and procedures. Our results of operations and financial condition have not been materially affected by risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previously identified cybersecurity incidents, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not be materially affected in the future by such risks or any future incidents. To further preemptively mitigate the potential financial impact of cybersecurity incidents, we maintain liability insurance that includes cyber coverage. However, our insurance may be inadequate or may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, our insurance may not cover any or all incidents that occur or claims made against us, and addressing an incident or defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert management's attention from our business and operations. For more information on our cybersecurity related risks, see the Risk Factors in Item 1A. of this Annual Report.

**Item 2. Properties.** 

Our corporate headquarters is located in leased office space in downtown Chicago, Illinois. We currently use approximately 16,000 square feet of office space in our headquarters. The lease expires on January 31, 2031. We have additional offices in locations throughout the world, primarily in India, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Canada, and Puerto Rico. All of our offices are located in leased premises.

We believe that the facilities we currently occupy are adequate for the purposes for which they are being used and are well maintained. In general, no difficulty is anticipated in negotiating renewals as leases expire or in finding other satisfactory space if the premises become unavailable. See Note 19, "Lease Obligations" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for further information.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.** 

We are a party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business. While the results of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our results of operations or financial condition.

*Performance*

The following graph compares the total shareholder return from July 2, 2021, the date on which our Class A Common Stock commenced trading on the NYSE, through December 31, 2025 of (i) our Class A Common Stock, (ii) the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500") and (iii) the Russell 2000 Index (the "Russell 2000"). The S&P 500 was selected because it serves as a broad market index. The Russell 2000 was selected because we do not believe we can

------

reasonably identify an industry index or specific peer group that would offer a meaningful comparison. The Russell 2000 measures the performance of the small market capitalization segment of U.S. equity instruments.

The stock performance graph and table assume an initial investment of $100 on July 2, 2021, and that all dividends of Alight, the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000, were reinvested. Companies in the Russell 2000 are weighted by market capitalization. The performance graph and table are not intended to be indicative of future performance. The performance graph and table shall not be deemed "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of our filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Our methods of calculating these measures may differ from those used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. These financial measures should be viewed in addition to, not in lieu of, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**REVIEW OF RESULTS**

**Key Components of Our Continuing Operations**

***Revenue***

Our clients' demand for our services ultimately drives our revenues. We generate primarily all of our revenue, which is highly recurring, from fees for services provided from contracts across all solutions, which is primarily based on a contracted fee charged per participant per period (e.g., monthly or annually, as applicable). Our contracts typically have three to five-year terms for ongoing services with mutual renewal options. The majority of the Company's revenue is recognized over time when control of the promised services is transferred, and the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of our services. Payment terms are consistent with industry practice. We calculate growth rates for each of our solutions in relation to recurring revenues and revenues from project work. One of the components of our growth in recurring revenues is the increase in net commercial activity which reflects items such as client wins and losses ("Net Commercial Activity"). We define client wins as sales to new clients and sales of new solutions to existing clients.

------

We define client losses as instances where clients do not renew or terminate their arrangements in relation to individual solutions or all of the solutions that we provide. We use annual revenue retention rates as an important measure to manage our business. We calculate annual revenue retention on a gross basis by identifying the clients from whom we generated revenue in the prior year and determining what percentage of that revenue is generated from those same clients for the same solutions in the subsequent year.

***Cost of Services, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization***

Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization includes compensation-related and vendor costs directly attributable to client-related services and costs related to application development and client-related infrastructure.

***Depreciation and Amortization***

Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation and amortization related to our hardware, software and application development. Depreciation and amortization may increase or decrease in absolute dollars in future periods depending on the future level of capital investments in hardware, software and application development.

***Selling, General and Administrative***

Selling, general and administrative expenses include compensation-related costs for administrative and management employees, system and facilities expenses, and costs for external professional and consulting services.

***Depreciation and Intangible Amortization***

Depreciation and intangible amortization expenses consist of charges relating to the depreciation of the property and equipment used in our business and the amortization of acquired customer-related and contract based intangible assets and technology related intangible assets. Depreciation and intangible amortization may increase or decrease in absolute dollars in future periods depending on the future level of capital investments in hardware and other equipment as well as amortization expense associated with future acquisitions.

***Goodwill impairment***

Goodwill impairment consists of charges relating to Goodwill. We review goodwill for impairment annually on October 1st and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.

***(Gain) Loss from Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Gain) loss from change in fair value of financial instruments includes the impact of the revaluation to fair value at the end of each reporting period for the Seller Earnouts contingent consideration and the Additional Seller Note.

***(Gain) Loss from Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Agreement***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Gain) loss from change in fair value of Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") includes the impact of the revaluation to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense primarily includes interest expense related to our outstanding debt and is net of interest rate swap derivative gains recognized and interest income.

***Other (Income) Expense, net***

Other (income) expense, net includes non-operating expenses and income, including realized (gains) and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency transactions, and Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") income for providing various corporate services to the Divested Business.

**Results of Continuing Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2024**

***Revenue***

Revenues were $2,262 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $2,332 million for the prior year. The decrease of $70 million, or 3.0%, was driven by lower Net Commercial Activity and lower project revenue. The Company experienced lower than expected bookings and larger than anticipated losses from contract renewals during the year ended December 31, 2025, which impacted revenue growth and is also expected to impact revenue growth in fiscal year 2026.

------

Recurring revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $27 million, or 1.3%, from $2,135 million in the prior year to $2,108 million, primarily driven by lower Net Commercial Activity.

***Cost of Services, exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization***

Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, decreased $56 million, or 3.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in lower revenue and savings realized in conjunction with productivity initiatives, partially offset by an increase in compensation .

***Depreciation and Amortization***

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $15 million, or 15.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year, primarily driven by capitalized software.

***Selling, General and Administrative***

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $150 million, or 25.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year. The decrease was driven by lower professional fees incurred related to the sale and separation of the Divested Business, a reduction in stock based compensation expense and productivity savings, partially offset by an increase in compensation expense.

***Depreciation and Intangible Amortization***

Depreciation and intangible amortization expenses decreased by $3 million, or 1.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year.

***Goodwill Impairment***

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified indicators of impairment and recorded a $3,124 million non-cash impairment charge for the period. There was no impairment recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 6 "Goodwill and Intangible assets, net" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

***Change in Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

There was a $1 million gain related to the change in the fair value of financial instruments for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a gain of $57 million for the prior year, primarily due to the $50 million write down of our Additional Seller Note in the year ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by a gain on remeasurement of the Seller Earnout. We are required to remeasure the financial instruments at the end of each reporting period and reflect a gain or loss for the change in fair value of the financial instruments in the period the change occurred. Changes in the fair value are primarily due to changes in the underlying assumptions of each respective instrument, including changes in the risk-free interest rate, volatility, cost of debt, forecasts, and the closing stock price for the period. See Note 14, "Financial Instruments" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

***Change in Fair Value of Tax Receivable Agreement***

The change in the fair value of the TRA resulted in a gain of $93 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $127 million compared to a loss of $34 million for the prior year. The change in fair value was due to changes in the Company's assumptions related to the timing of the utilization of tax attributes during the term of the TRA, changes in the discount rate and the passage of time.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense decreased $11 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the partial repayment of debt in the prior year and the opportunistic repricing of our 2028 term loan, partially offset by the Company's hedges and lower interest income. See Note 8, "Debt" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

***Other (Income) Expense, net***

Under the terms of the TSA as described in Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report, the Company is providing technology infrastructure, risk and security, and various other corporate services to the Divested Business subsequent to the close. We recorded $26 million and $19 million for services performed under the TSA for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in Other (income) expense, net. The corresponding expenses were recognized in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

***Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations Before Taxes***

Loss from continuing operations before taxes was $3,062 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to a loss from continuing operations before taxes of $148 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in loss was primarily attributable to the $3,124 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and the non-operating fair value remeasurements of financial instruments, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, a change in fair value remeasurements of the tax receivable agreement and lower interest expense as a result of the debt pay down.

***Income Tax Expense (Benefit)***

Income tax expense was $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to an income tax benefit of $8 million for the prior year. The effective tax rate of (1)% for the year ended December 31, 2025 was lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due to the Company's non-deductible expenses, tax credits, changes in valuation allowance, and certain non-recurring items, including non-deductible goodwill impairment. The effective tax rate of 5% for the year ended December 31, 2024 was lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due to the Company's non-deductible expenses, tax credits, and changes in valuation allowance. See Note 7, "Income Taxes" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA made several changes to business tax provisions including modifications to the Section 163j interest expense limitation and immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures. After considering impacts associated with the Company's valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025, the impact was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor any developments and guidance related to the OBBBA.

***Non-GAAP Financial Measures***

The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is used to enhance our management and stakeholders understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management also uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to manage and evaluate the business, make planning decisions, allocate resources and as performance measures for Company-wide bonus plans. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

The measures referred to as "adjusted", have limitations as analytical tools, and such measures should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other methods of analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Measure does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs or contractual commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Measure does not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Measure does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, including payments related to the Tax Receivable Agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Measure does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often need to be replaced in the future, and the adjusted measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other companies may calculate adjusted measures differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

***Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations***

Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations, which is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Alight, Inc., adjusted for intangible amortization and the impact of certain non-cash items, including goodwill impairment charges, that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance, is a

------

non-GAAP financial measure used solely for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted Net Income From Continuing Operations divided by the adjusted weighted-average number of shares of common stock, diluted. The adjusted weighted shares calculation assumes the full exchange of the non-controlling interest units and the full amount of non-vested time-based restricted units that were determined to be antidilutive and therefore excluded from the U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations, including the adjusted weighted-average number of shares, is used by us and our investors to evaluate our core operating performance and to benchmark our operating performance against our competitors.

A reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations and the computation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations is as follows:

***Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations***

Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items, including goodwill impairments, that we do not consider in the evaluation of ongoing operational performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations divided by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures used by management and our stakeholders to provide useful supplemental information that enables a better comparison of our performance across periods as well as to evaluate our core operating performance. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations to Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations is as follows:

(4)Adjusted EBITDA Margin From Continuing Operations is defined as Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations as a percentage of revenue.

***Revenue Disaggregation and Gross Profit***

Adjusted gross profit is defined as revenue less cost of services adjusted for depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation. Adjusted gross profit margin percent is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by revenue. Management uses adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin percent as key measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. We believe that presenting adjusted gross profit and

------

adjusted gross profit margin percent is useful to investors as it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash expenses and allows a direct comparison between periods.

Employer Solutions revenue was $2,262 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $2,332 million for the prior year. The overall decrease of $70 million was primarily driven by decreases in net commercial activity and lower project revenue. We experienced annual revenue retention rates of 94% and 95% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

---

Employer Solutions gross profit was $765 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $794 million for the prior year. The decrease of $29 million was driven by lower revenues and an increase in compensation expense, partially offset by productivity savings. Employer Solutions adjusted gross profit decreased $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 to $883 million from $904 million in the prior year, primarily driven by lower revenues and an increase in compensation expense, partially offset by productivity savings.

***Free Cash Flow Reconciliation***

Free Cash Flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities net of capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow is an important liquidity metric because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available to repay debt obligations, make strategic acquisitions and investments and for certain other activities such as dividends and stock repurchases.

---

Net cash provided by operating activities was $360 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $193 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower separation costs incurred in conjunction with the sale and separation of the Divested Business and changes in our net working capital requirements.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $193 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $247 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to increased expenses related to the sale of the Divested Business.

------

Free cash flow was $250 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $72 million from the prior period. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to an increase in cash provided from operations and lower capital expenditures.

Free cash flow was $72 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $107 million from the prior period. The decrease in free cash flow was primarily due to a decrease in cash provided from operations, offset by lower capital expenditures.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

***Executive Summary***

Our primary sources of liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility. Our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, funding of our debt requirements and capital expenditures.

We currently anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including principal and interest payments on debt obligations, capital expenditures, payments on our TRA and anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. We continuously evaluate our liquidity and capital resources, including our access to external capital, to ensure we can finance our future capital requirements.

*Indebtedness*

As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding long-term debt in the form of term loans for an aggregate principal amount of $1,985 million, which mature in 2028.

In January 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 11 to our credit agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), with a syndicate of lenders to establish a new class of Seventh Incremental Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount of $2,030 million and to reprice the outstanding Sixth Incremental Term Loans due August 31, 2028 by reducing the applicable rate from SOFR + 2.25% to SOFR + 1.75%.

In May 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, which increased the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $330 million and extended the maturity date to May 31, 2030. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

*Share Repurchases*

Our board of directors has authorized a share repurchase program of our Class A common stock, which commenced in August 2022 and does not have an expiration date. On February 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of our Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025, the total remaining amount authorized for repurchase was $216 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 13,881,417 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $65 million under the share repurchase program.

Repurchases may be conducted through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The actual timing and amount of future repurchases are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate Alight to acquire any amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time by Alight at its discretion without prior notice.

*Cash Dividends*

In 2024, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend program. The following table provides information with respect to quarterly dividends on common stock during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

On February 19, 2026, the Company announced it will replace its cash dividend on its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with other capital allocation activities, including deleveraging the balance sheet and continuing our share repurchase program, subject to market and other conditions.

Cash on our balance sheet includes funds available for general corporate purposes. Funds held on behalf of clients in a fiduciary capacity are segregated and shown in Fiduciary assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, with a corresponding amount in Fiduciary liabilities. Fiduciary funds are not used for general corporate purposes and are not a source of liquidity for us.

The following table provides a summary of cash flows from continuing operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented.

***Operating Activities***

Net cash provided by operating activities was $360 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $193 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to decreased expenses related to the sale of the Payroll and Professional Services business and changes in net working capital requirements.

***Investing Activities***

Cash used in investing activities was $123 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to cash provided by investing activities of $847 million for the prior year. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by net proceeds from the sale of the Divested Business, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures.

***Financing Activities***

Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $298 million as compared to cash used in financing activities of $1,096 million in the prior year. The primary drivers of cash used for financing activities were $100 million of TRA payments, $86 million of dividend payments, $65 million of share repurchases, $22 million of finance lease payments, $20 million of debt repayments, and $12 million of shares/units withheld in lieu of taxes, partially offset by a $9 million net increase in fiduciary liabilities. The increase in fiduciary cash was primarily due to timing of client funding and subsequent disbursement of payments.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents and Fiduciary Assets***

At December 31, 2025, our continuing operations cash and cash equivalents were $273 million, a decrease of $70 million from December 31, 2024. Of the total balances of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, none of the balances were restricted as to use.

Some of our client agreements require us to hold funds on behalf of clients to pay obligations on their behalf. The levels of Fiduciary assets and liabilities can fluctuate significantly, depending on when we collect the amounts from clients and make payments on their behalf. Such funds are not available to service our debt or for other corporate purposes. There is typically a short period of time between when the Company receives funds and when it pays obligations on behalf of clients. We are entitled to retain investment income earned on fiduciary funds, when investment strategies are deployed, in accordance with industry custom and practice, which has historically been immaterial. In our Consolidated Balance Sheets, the amount we report for Fiduciary assets and Fiduciary liabilities are equal. Our continuing operations Fiduciary assets included cash of $248 million and $239 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Other Liquidity Matters***

Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to risks and uncertainties. For further information, see the "Risk Factors" section within Item 1A of this Annual Report.

------

***Tax Receivable Agreement***

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the TRA with certain of our pre-Business Combination owners that provides for the payment by Alight to such owners of 85% of the benefits that Alight is deemed to realize as a result of the Company's share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination and other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Alight may make under the TRA will be substantial. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid $100 million related to the TRA. As of December 31, 2025, we expect to make payments of approximately $156 million in 2026, subject to finalization through the procedures set forth in the TRA, and less than $1 million in 2027. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company received an Objection Notice from the TRA Party Representative with respect to certain methodology used to prepare a portion of the Tax Benefit Schedule that calculates our 2026 Tax Benefit Payments to the TRA Parties (all capitalized terms as defined in the TRA). The Company disagrees with the TRA Party Representative's assertions and is in discussions to resolve this matter. If a resolution is not reached timely, the parties will proceed through the dispute mechanisms as set forth in the TRA agreement. The Company intends to vigorously contest the TRA Representative's assertions in the Objection Notice. If the TRA Representative nonetheless prevails in its position or the Company resolves the dispute consensually, the Company currently estimates that a resolution could increase the 2026 Tax Benefit Payments by up to $20 million above the Company's current estimate of $156 million. The Objection Notice does not address the Company's current 2027 Tax Benefit Payments estimate.

***Contractual Obligations and Commitments***

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had various obligations and commitments outstanding including debt of $2,005 million, operating leases of $67 million, finance leases of $47 million and purchase obligations of $242 million. Over the twelve months ending December 31, 2026, we expect to pay $20 million, $17 million, $16 million and $83 million for our debt, operating leases, finance leases and purchase obligations, respectively. For further information of each these obligations, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report, Note 8, "Debt", Note 19, "Lease Obligations" and Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report.

During 2018, the Company executed an agreement to form a strategic partnership with Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company, through 2029. As of December 31, 2025, the non-cancellable services obligation totaled $247 million, with $123 million expected to be paid over the twelve months ending December 31, 2026. We may terminate certain elements of the arrangement with Wipro with cause or for our convenience with no penalty prior to August 31, 2029. If an unconsumed portion of the obligation remains after August 31, 2029, then the Company shall satisfy the obligation by paying Wipro the remaining unconsumed portion by September 30, 2029.

**Critical Accounting Estimates** 

These consolidated financial statements conform to U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. The areas that we believe include critical accounting policies are revenue recognition, goodwill and accounting for the TRA. The critical accounting policies discussed below involve making difficult, subjective or complex accounting estimates that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Different estimates that we could have used, or changes in estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

**Revenue Recognition** 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Substantially all of the Company's revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our services. On occasion, we may be entitled to a fee based on achieving certain performance criteria or contract milestones. Any taxes assessed on revenues relating to services provided to our clients are recorded on a net basis.

The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with a customer that are expected to be recovered. Assets recognized for the costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected life of

the underlying customer relationships. For further discussion, see Note 3, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report.

**Tax Receivable Agreement** 

The Company's TRA liability established upon completion of the Business Combination is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). We record additional liabilities under the TRA as and when Class A units of Alight Holdings are exchanged for Class A Common Stock of Alight, Inc. Liabilities resulting from these exchanges are recorded on a gross undiscounted basis and are not remeasured at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2025, an immaterial TRA liability was established as a result of these exchanges. Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits.

While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Alight may make under the TRA will be substantial. The $664 million TRA liability balance at December 31, 2025 assumes: (i) a blended U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate of 26.5%; (ii) the latest estimates in taxable income inclusive of the OBBBA which was enacted into law in the U.S. in July 2025; (iii) the ability to utilize tax attributes based on current tax forecasts; and (iv) future payments under the TRA are made when due under the TRA. The amount of the expected future payments under the TRA has been discounted to its present value using a discount rate of 7.4%, which was determined based on benchmark rates of a similar duration. A hypothetical increase of 75 bps in the discount rate assumption used for fiscal year 2025 would result in a decrease of approximately $21 million in our TRA liability, while a hypothetical decrease of 75 bps in the discount rate assumption used for fiscal year 2025 would result in an increase of approximately $23 million in our TRA liability. The calculations used to derive such payments are subject to review by the TRA Parties.

**Goodwill** 

Goodwill for each reporting unit is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if there are indicators that a reporting unit may be impaired. Accounting Standard Codification 350, Intangibles and Other ("ASC 350") states that an optional qualitative impairment assessment can be performed to determine whether an impairment is more likely than not by considering various factors such as macroeconomic and industry trends, reporting unit performance and overall business changes. If inconclusive evidence results from the qualitative impairment test, a quantitative assessment is performed where the Company determines the fair value of the reporting units by using a combination of the present value of expected future cash flows and a market approach based on earnings multiple data from peer companies using unobservable level 3 inputs. If an impairment is identified, an impairment is recorded by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value for each reporting unit as a non-recurring fair value measurement. While the future cash flows are consistent with those that are used in our internal planning process inclusive of long-term growth assumptions, estimating cash flows requires significant judgment. Future changes to our projected cash flows can vary from the cash flows eventually realized, which may have a material impact on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.

The Company uses a weighted average cost of capital that represents the blended average required rate of return for equity and debt capital based on observed market return data and company-specific risk factors. Other significant assumptions utilized included the Company's projections of expected future revenues and EBITDA margin, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization as a percentage of revenue.

During the second quarter of 2025, we concluded that there were interim indicators of impairment in the Health Solutions reporting unit and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $983 million, which was included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, we evaluated for interim indicators of impairment and concluded the sustained decline in our stock price coupled with a reduction in future expected financial performance were indicators of impairment. The reduction of future expected financial performance was driven by lower Net Commercial Activity (which reflects items such as client wins and losses), including lower than expected bookings and larger than anticipated losses from contract renewals which is expected to impact revenue growth. We define client wins as sales to new clients and sales of new solutions to existing clients. We define client losses as instances where clients do not renew or terminate their arrangements in relation to individual solutions or all of the solutions that we provide. A discount rate of 11.25% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5% were utilized for our Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units in the determination of fair value. Other significant assumptions utilized included the Company's projections of expected future revenues and EBITDA margin, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization as a percentage of revenue. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $1,293 million in the Health Solutions reporting unit and $45 million in the Wealth Solutions reporting unit, which were also included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of

------

Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On October 1, 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment in accordance with ASC 350. We evaluated the potential for goodwill impairment by considering macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, both current and future expected financial performance, and relevant entity-specific events for each of the reporting units. We also considered our overall market performance discretely as well as in relation to our peers. Given the third quarter test was performed as of September 30, 2025, we determined that the fair value of each reporting unit equaled the carrying value as of October 1, 2025.

Subsequent to our October 1, 2025 annual impairment test, we evaluated the macroeconomic, industry and market conditions to determine whether there had been any significant changes. The Company concluded that the sustained decline in our stock price coupled with an incremental reduction in future expected financial performance were indicators of impairment that did not exist as of October 1, 2025. As part of this process, the Company identified a goodwill impairment in its Health Solutions reporting unit and recorded an $803 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025. We utilized a discount rate of 11.75% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5% for our Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units in the determination of fair value. The Company's Wealth Solutions reporting unit estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 16.6%, or approximately $77 million. A hypothetical 25-basis point increase in the discount rate or a hypothetical 50-basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would still provide the Company with an excess fair value over its carrying value of 14.5%, or approximately $67 million, in the Company's Wealth Solutions reporting unit. At December 31, 2025, our Health Solutions reporting unit had no goodwill and our Wealth Solutions reporting unit had $83 million of goodwill.

**Long-Lived Asset Impairment**

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, for recoverability whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Company's long-lived assets are grouped and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. In determining whether an impairment of long-lived assets has occurred, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors. The quantitative analysis involves estimating the undiscounted future cash flows directly related to that asset group and comparing the resulting value against the carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is greater than the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its estimated fair value.

We did not record impairment charges for any of our long-lived assets or finite-lived intangibles during the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

We are exposed to potential fluctuations in earnings, cash flows, and the fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates. To manage the risk from this exposure, we enter into a variety of hedging arrangements. We do not enter into derivatives or financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We are not subject to significant foreign exchange rate risk.

A discussion of our accounting policies for hedging activities is outlined in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report.

***Interest Rate Risk***

Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings, which carry variable interest rates. Our term loans and revolving credit facility borrowings bear interest at a variable rate, so we are exposed to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. Although we use derivative financial instruments to some extent to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate risks, we do not attempt to manage our entire expected exposure. These instruments expose us to credit risk in the event that our counterparties default on their obligations. More information regarding the terms and market value of our derivative instruments can be found in Note 13, "Derivative Financial Instruments" and in Note 16, "Fair Value Measurement" within the Consolidated Financial Statements within Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Our term loan agreements include an interest rate floor of 50 basis points ("bps") plus a margin. We also utilized interest rate swap agreements (designated as cash flow hedges) to fix portions of the floating interest rates through December 2026. A hypothetical increase of 25 bps in our term loans, net of hedging activity, would have resulted in a change to annual interest expense of approximately $1 million in fiscal year 2025.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Alight, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alight, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;**Goodwill Impairment Assessment**<br>

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;*Description of the Matter*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;At December 31, 2025, the Company's Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units had $0 and $83 million of goodwill, respectively, as disclosed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or when impairment indicators are present. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $3,079 million related to the Health Solutions reporting unit, and an impairment charge of $45 million related to the Wealth Solutions reporting unit. <br>Auditing management's goodwill impairment assessment was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the Company's reporting units. The more subjective assumptions used in the analysis for the Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units were projections of future revenue growth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization margin, and the discount rate. The more subjective assumptions are all affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company's goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management's review of the significant assumptions discussed above. We also tested management's controls over the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the valuation.<br>To test the estimated fair value of the Company's reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the Company's model, methods, and the more sensitive assumptions utilized, such as the discount rate. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry, market and economic trends. In addition, we assessed the historical accuracy of management's estimates, performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions, and tested the reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its analysis. |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Measurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement Liability** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;*Description of the Matter*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;As discussed in Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with certain owners of Alight Holdings prior to the Business Combination, which is a contractual commitment to distribute 85% of any tax benefits ("TRA Payment"), realized or deemed to be realized by the Company to the parties to the TRA. At December 31, 2025, the Company's liability due under the TRA ("TRA liability") that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis was $435 million.<br>Auditing management's accounting for the TRA liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is especially challenging and judgmental due to the complex model used to calculate the TRA liability. Also, the liability recorded is based on several inputs, including estimating the timing of the utilization of the tax attributes and the discount rate applied to the TRA payments. Significant changes in the timing of the utilization of the tax attributes and the discount rate could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations. |

With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by testing the third-party inputs and the valuation methodology employed. |

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business**

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Alight, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

On July 2, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), Alight Holding Company, LLC (the "Predecessor" or "Alight Holdings") completed a business combination (the "Business Combination") with a special purpose acquisition company. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the special purpose acquisition company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight, Inc. ("Alight", the "Company", "we" "us" "our" or the "Successor"). As of December 31, 2025, Alight owned approximately 99% of the economic interest in the Predecessor, had 100% of the voting power and controlled the management of the Predecessor. The non-voting ownership percentage held by noncontrolling interest was less than 1% as of December 31, 2025.

On July 12, 2024, the Company, completed the previously announced sale (the "Transaction") of Alight's Payroll & HCM Outsourcing business (the "Divestiture" or "Divested Business") within the Employer Solutions segment. As a result of this agreement, the results of the Company's Payroll and Professional Services businesses are reported separately as discontinued operations, net of tax, in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented as of December 31, 2025. While the Closing Date was July 12, 2024, we determined the impact of eleven days was immaterial to the Company's results of operations. As such, we utilized July 1, 2024 as the date of the sale for accounting purposes.

***Nature of Business***

We are a technology-enabled services company delivering human capital management solutions to many of the world's largest and most complex organizations. This includes the implementation and administration of employee benefits (e.g., health, wealth and leaves) solutions. Alight's numerous solutions and services are utilized year-round by employees and their family members in support of their overall health, wealth and wellbeing goals. Participants can access their solutions digitally, including through a mobile application on Alight Worklife<sup>®</sup>, our intuitive, cloud-based employee engagement platform. Through Alight Worklife, the Company believes it is defining the future of employee benefits by providing an enterprise-level, integrated offering designed to drive better outcomes for organizations and individuals.

Our primary business, Employer Solutions, is driven by our Alight Worklife platform, and includes integrated benefits administration, healthcare navigation, financial wellbeing, leave of absence management and retiree healthcare. We leverage data across numerous interactions and activities to improve the employee experience, reduce operational costs and better inform management processes and decision-making. Our clients' employees benefit from an integrated platform and user experience, coupled with a full-service customer care center, helping them manage the full life cycle of their health, wealth and wellbeing.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies**

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of reserves and expenses.

These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management believes its estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, and foreign currency exchange rate movements increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment would, if applicable, be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

------

***Concentration of Risk***

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risks related to foreign exchange contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. Management believes that its account receivable credit risk exposure is limited, and the Company has not experienced significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances. Additionally, there was no single client who accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues in any of the periods presented.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Cash and cash equivalents totaled $273 million and $343 million, respectively, and none of the balances were restricted as to its use.

***Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities***

Some of the Company's agreements require it to hold funds to pay certain obligations on behalf of its clients. Funds held on behalf of clients are segregated from Company funds, and their use is restricted to the payment of obligations on behalf of clients. There is typically a short period of time between when the Company receives funds and when it pays obligations on behalf of clients. These funds are recorded as Fiduciary assets with the related obligation recorded as Fiduciary liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our Fiduciary assets consisted of cash of $248 million and $239 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Commissions Receivable***

Commissions receivable, which is recorded in Other current assets and Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are contract assets that represent estimated variable consideration for commissions to be received from insurance carriers for performance obligations that have been satisfied. The current portion of Commissions receivable is expected to be received within one year, while the non-current portion of Commissions receivable is expected to be received beyond one year.

***Allowance for Expected Credit Losses***

The Company's allowance for expected credit losses with respect to trade receivables and contract assets is based on a combination of factors, including evaluation of historical write-offs, current conditions and reasonable economic forecasts that affect collectability and other qualitative and quantitative analysis. Receivables, net included an allowance for expected credit losses of $6 million and $9 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Fixed Assets, Net***

The Company records fixed assets at cost. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Asset Description** | **Asset Life** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Capitalized software | &nbsp;&nbsp;Lesser of the life of an associated license, or 4 to 7 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Leasehold improvements | &nbsp;&nbsp;Lesser of estimated useful life or lease term, not to exceed 10 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Furniture, fixtures and equipment | &nbsp;&nbsp;4 to 10 years |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Computer equipment | &nbsp;&nbsp;4 to 6 years |

---

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net***

In applying the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities acquired were based on estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, with the remainder recorded as goodwill. Intangible assets are initially valued at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, and whenever indicators of impairment arise.

***Derivatives***

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest risk exposures and have been designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings when the hedge exposure affects earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when: (1) the derivative expires or is sold,

------

terminated, or exercised; (2) the qualifying criteria are no longer met; or (3) management removes the designation of the hedging relationship. Cash flows from derivative instruments are included in Net cash provided by operating activities – continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

***Foreign Currency***

Certain of the Company's non-U.S. operations use their respective local currency as their functional currency. The operations that do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency translate their financial statements at the current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses using rates that approximate those in effect during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in net foreign currency translation adjustments within the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency are included in Other (income) expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The impact of the foreign exchange gains and losses for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was a loss of $1 million, a loss of $1 million, and a loss of $2 million, respectively.

***Share-Based Compensation***

Share-based compensation primarily relates to grants of restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted share units ("PRSUs"), which are measured based on their estimated grant date fair value. The Company typically recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant and adjusted if actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original estimates.

***Earnings Per Share***

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Alight, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issuance of shares that would then share in the net income (loss) of Alight, Inc.

***Seller Earnouts***

Upon completion of the Business Combination, we executed a contingent consideration agreement (the "Seller Earnouts") that results in the issuance of non-voting shares of Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock, which automatically convert into Class A Common Stock upon the achievement of certain criteria. The majority of the Seller Earnouts are accounted for as a contingent consideration liability at fair value within Financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recognized within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

***Noncontrolling Interest***

Noncontrolling interest represents the Company's noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries which are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the controlling Class A Common Stock ownership of the Company. Net (loss) income is reduced by the portion of net (loss) income that is attributable to noncontrolling interests. These noncontrolling interests are convertible into Class A Common Stock of the Company at the holder's discretion.

***Income Taxes***

The portion of earnings allowable to the Company is subject to corporate-level tax rates at the U.S. federal, state and local levels. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires it to recognize current tax liabilities or receivables for the amount of taxes it estimates are payable or refundable for the current year, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period enacted. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible.

The Company recognizes the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements if it is "more-likely-than-not" they will be sustained by a taxing authority. The measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not

------

criteria is based on the largest benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized. Only information that is available at the reporting date is considered in the Company's recognition and measurement analysis and events or changes in facts and circumstances are accounted for in the period in which the event or change in circumstance occurs.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Company adopted this standard prospectively during the year ended December 31, 2025. See Note 7, "Income Taxes" for additional information.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220), which requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. This guidance will be effective for the annual periods beginning with the year ending December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides all entities with a practical expedient in developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating current expected credit losses assuming that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be adopted prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs, which improves the operability of the guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. Moving forward, the amendments will require an entity to capitalize software costs when a set of two criteria are met. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance may be applied prospectively, using a modified transition approach, or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which aims to improve the guidance in Topic 270, Interim Reporting, by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when that guidance is applicable. The amendments will be effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, entities can apply the amendments either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the standard to determine the impact of adoption to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

**3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers** 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. The majority of the Company's revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of our services. We may occasionally be entitled to a fee based on achieving certain performance criteria or contract milestones.

------

To the extent that we cannot estimate with reasonable assurance the likelihood that we will achieve the performance target, we will constrain this portion of the transaction price and recognize it when or as the uncertainty is resolved. Any taxes assessed on revenues relating to services provided to our clients are recorded on a net basis. All of the Company's revenues are described in more detail below.

*Administrative Services*

We provide benefits and human resource services across all of our solutions, which are highly recurring. The Company's contracts may include administration services across one or multiple solutions and typically have three to five-year terms with mutual renewal options. These contracts typically consist of an implementation phase and an ongoing administration phase:

*Implementation phase* – In connection with the Company's long-term agreements, implementation efforts are often necessary to set up clients and their human resource or benefit programs on the Company's systems and operating processes. Work performed during the implementation phase is considered a set-up activity because it does not transfer a service to the customer. Therefore, it is not a separate performance obligation. As these agreements are longer term in nature, our contracts generally provide that if the client terminates a contract, we are entitled to an additional payment for services performed through the termination date designed to recover our up-front costs of implementation. Any fees received from the customer as part of the implementation are, in effect, an advance payment for the future ongoing administration services to be provided.

*Ongoing administration services phase* – For all solutions, the ongoing administration phase includes a variety of plan and system support services. More specifically, these services include data management, calculations, reporting, fulfillment/communications, compliance services, call center support, and in our Health Solutions agreements, annual on-boarding and enrollment support. While there are a variety of activities performed across all solutions, the overall nature of the obligation is to provide integrated administration solutions to the customer. The agreement represents a stand-ready obligation to perform these activities across all solutions on an as-needed basis. The customer obtains value from each period of service, and each time increment (i.e., each month, or each benefit cycle in the case of our Health Solutions arrangements) is distinct and the activities are performed substantially the same. Accordingly, the ongoing administration services for each solution represents a series and each series (i.e., each month, or each benefit cycle including the enrollment period in the case of our Health Solutions arrangements) of distinct services are deemed to be a single performance obligation. In agreements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price related to each performance obligation is based on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. We establish the stand-alone selling price using a suitable estimation method, which includes a market assessment approach using observable market prices the Company charges separately for similar solutions to similar customers, or an expected cost plus margin approach.

Our contracts with our clients specify the terms and conditions upon which the services are based. Fees for these services are primarily based on a contracted fee charged per participant per period (e.g., monthly or annually, as applicable). These contracts may also include fixed components, including lump-sum implementation fees. Our fees are not typically payable until the commencement of the ongoing administration phase. Once fees become payable, payment is typically due on a monthly basis as we perform under the contract, and we are entitled to be reimbursed for work performed to date in the event of termination.

For Health Solutions administration services, each benefits cycle inclusive of the enrollment period represents a time increment under the series guidance and is a single performance obligation. Although ongoing fees are typically not payable until the commencement of the ongoing administrative phase, we begin transferring services to our customers approximately four months prior to payments being due as part of our annual enrollment services. Although our per-participant fees are considered variable, they are typically predictable in nature, and therefore we do not generally constrain any portion of our transaction price estimates. We use an input method based on the labor costs incurred relative to total labor costs as the measure of progress in satisfying our Health Solutions performance obligation commencing when the customer's annual enrollment services begin. Given that the Health Solutions enrollment and administrative services are stand-ready in nature, it can be difficult to estimate the total expected efforts or hours we will incur for a particular benefits cycle. Therefore, the input measure is based on the historical effort expended, which is measured as labor cost.

In the normal course of business, we enter into change orders or other contract modifications to add or modify services provided to the customer. We evaluate whether these modifications should be accounted for as separate contracts or a modification to an existing contract. To the extent that the modification changes a promise that forms part of the underlying series, the modification is not accounted for as a separate contract.

------

*Other Contracts*

In addition to the ongoing administration services, the Company also has services across all solutions that represent separate performance obligations and that are often shorter in duration, such as our participant financial advisory services and enrollment services not bundled with ongoing administration services.

Fee arrangements can be in the form of fixed-fee, time-and-materials, or fees based on assets under management. Payment is typically due on a monthly basis as we perform under the contract, and we are entitled to be reimbursed for work performed to date in the event of termination.

Services may represent stand-ready obligations that meet the series provision, in which case all variable consideration is allocated to each distinct time increment.

Other services are recognized over-time based on a method that faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer, which may be based on the value of labor hours worked or time elapsed, depending on the facts and circumstances.

The majority of the fees for enrollment services not bundled with ongoing administration services may be in the form of commissions received from insurance carriers for policy placement and are variable in nature. These annual enrollment services include employer-sponsored arrangements that place both retiree Medicare coverage and voluntary benefits. Our performance obligations under these annual enrollment services are typically completed over a short period upon which a respective policy is placed or confirmed with no ongoing fulfillment obligations. For the employer-sponsored arrangements, we recognize the majority of the placement revenue in the fourth quarter of the calendar year, which is when most of the placement or renewal activity occurs. However, the Company may continue to receive commissions from carriers until the respective policy lapses or is canceled. The Company bases the estimates of total transaction price on supportable evidence from an analysis of past transactions, and only includes amounts that are probable of being received or not refunded. For the employer-sponsored arrangements, the estimated total transaction price may differ from the ultimate amount of commissions we may collect. Consequently, the estimate of total transaction price is adjusted over time as the Company receives confirmation of cash received, or as other information becomes available.

A portion of the Company's revenue is subscription-based where monthly fees are paid to the Company. The subscription-based revenue is recognized straight-line over the contract term, which is generally three years.

The Company has elected to apply practical expedients to not disclose the revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations if (1) the contract has an original duration of one year or less, or (2) the variable consideration is allocated entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation which is recognized as a series of distinct goods and services that form a single performance obligation.

***Contract Costs***

*Costs to obtain a Contract*

The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer that are expected to be recovered. Assets recognized for the costs to obtain a contract, which primarily includes sales commissions paid in relation to the initial contract, are amortized over the expected life of the underlying customer relationships, which is 15 years for most of our solutions and 7 years for our leaves solutions. For situations where the duration of the contract is 1 year or less, the Company has applied a practical expedient and recognized the costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred. These costs are recorded in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

*Costs to fulfill a Contract*

The Company capitalizes costs to fulfill contracts which includes highly customized implementation efforts to set up clients and their human resource or benefit programs. Assets recognized for the costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected life of the underlying customer relationships, which is 7 years for our leaves solutions and 15 years for all of our other solutions. Amortization for all contracts costs is recorded in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), see Note 5, "Other Financial Data".

**4. Discontinued Operations**

As disclosed in Note 1 "Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business", on July 12, 2024, the Company closed on its previously announced sale of the Divested Business. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to acquire the Divested Business for total consideration of up to $1.2 billion, in the form of (1) $1.0 billion in cash (the

------

"Closing Cash Consideration") payable at the closing of the transactions (the "Closing") contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (2) a note with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million and a fair value of $35 million as of July 12, 2024 issued at Closing (the "Seller Note") by an indirect parent of Buyer (the "Note Issuer") and (3) contingent upon the financial performance of the Divested Business for the 2025 fiscal year, a note with an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million (the "Additional Seller Note") and an initial fair value of $43 million as of July 12, 2024 to be issued by the Note Issuer. The Seller Note has a stated interest rate of 8.0%. The Seller Note was measured at fair value as of July 12, 2024 on a nonrecurring basis, by calculating the interest of the Seller Note which is expected to be paid-in-kind, and discounting the principal and interest by applying a discount rate based on the Divested Business's estimated cost of debt.

In conjunction with the Divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the "TSA") with the Buyer. The TSA outlines the terms under which the Company would provide certain reimbursable post-closing services to support the business on a transitional basis for an initial period of up to 18 months, with the option to extend for an additional six months. The majority of services associated with the TSA have ended, with only a small portion extended for an additional six months. As part of the TSA agreement, $15 million of the Closing Cash Consideration payable at closing was accounted for as a prepayment to the Company for services provided under the TSA.

TSA services income was $26 million and $19 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recognized in Other (income) expense, net, with the corresponding expenses recorded in Cost of services and Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Pass-through costs of approximately $35 million and $42 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were incurred under the TSA, which were netted against the equal and offsetting reimbursement amounts due from the Divested Business.

Revenue earned from customer care commercial services provided to the Divested Business was $44 million and $23 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

A loss on sale of the Divested Business of $9 million and $10 million, net of tax, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was recorded upon customary post-closing selling price adjustments of the sale and reflects the impact of net proceeds received less cost to sell relative to the carrying value of the Divested Business net assets.

The following table presents the results as reported in Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax, within our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (in millions):

During the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with a strategic portfolio review, we identified and recorded a $148 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to our former Cloud Services reporting unit which was subsequently sold as part of the Divested Business. As such, the Company reported the $148 million charge as discontinued operations.

------

The Company concluded that it controlled a portion of the Divested Business services subsequent to separation as a result of certain shared contractual relationships that had not been legally assigned as of December 31, 2025. As such, the Company determined it was the principal for these services and, therefore, the Company recorded $42 million and $71 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of Revenue and Cost of services on a gross basis within discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The Company recorded additional tax expense of $12 million and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This additional income tax is due to application of the dual consolidated loss rules as a result of the filing of the federal tax return, as well as the Company's recording of the tax provision for the Divested business during the prior period. The application of the dual consolidated loss rule was impacted by the sale of the Divested Business, which disallowed foreign losses previously elected.

The expense amounts reflected above represent only the direct costs attributable to the Divested Business and excludes allocations of corporate costs retained following the sale.

**6. Goodwill and Intangible assets, net** 

The changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill are as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Gross Carrying Amount** | **Accumulated Impairment Losses** | **Net Carrying Amount** |
| **Balance as of December 31, 2024** | $3212 | $— | $3212 |
| Impairment<sup>(1)</sup> | **—** | (3124) | (3124) |
| Other | (5) |  | (5) |
| **Balance at December 31, 2025** | $3207 | $(3124) | $83 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Amount relates to non-cash goodwill impairment charges.

Goodwill for each reporting unit is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if there are indicators that a reporting unit may be impaired. If an impairment is identified, an impairment is recorded by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value for each reporting unit as a non-recurring fair value measurement. While the future cash flows are consistent with those that are used in our internal planning process inclusive of long-term growth assumptions, estimating cash flows requires significant judgment. Future changes to our projected cash flows can vary from the cash flows eventually realized, which may have a material impact on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests.

The Company uses a weighted average cost of capital that represents the blended average required rate of return for equity and debt capital based on observed market return data and company-specific risk factors. Other significant assumptions utilized included the Company's projections of expected future revenues and EBITDA margin, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization as a percentage of revenue.

During the second quarter of 2025, we concluded that there were interim indicators of impairment in the Health Solutions reporting unit and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $983 million, which was included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the third quarter of 2025, we evaluated for interim indicators of impairment and concluded that the sustained decline in our stock price coupled with a reduction in future expected financial performance were indicators of impairment. The reduction of future expected financial performance was driven by lower Net Commercial Activity (which reflects items such as client wins and losses), including lower than expected bookings and larger than anticipated losses from contract renewals, which is expected to impact revenue growth. We define client wins as sales to new clients and sales of new solutions to existing clients. We define client losses as instances where clients do not renew or terminate their arrangements in relation to individual solutions or all of the solutions that we provide. A discount rate of 11.25% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5% were utilized for our Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units in the determination of fair value. Other significant assumptions utilized included the Company's projections of expected future revenues and EBITDA margin, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization as a percentage of revenue. As a result, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $1,293 million in the Health Solutions reporting unit and $45 million in the Wealth Solutions reporting unit, which were also included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

On October 1, 2025, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment in accordance with ASC 350. We evaluated the potential for goodwill impairment by considering macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, both current and future expected financial performance, and relevant entity-specific events for each of the reporting units. We also considered our overall market performance discretely as well as in relation to our peers. Given the third quarter test was performed as of September 30, 2025, we determined that the fair value of each reporting unit equaled the carrying value as of October 1, 2025.

Subsequent to our October 1, 2025 annual impairment test, we evaluated the macroeconomic, industry and market conditions to determine whether there had been any significant changes. The Company concluded that the sustained decline

------

in our stock price coupled with an incremental reduction in future expected financial performance were indicators of impairment that did not exist as of October 1, 2025. As part of this process, the Company identified a goodwill impairment in its Health Solutions reporting unit and recorded an $803 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, which is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025. We utilized a discount rate of 11.75% and a long-term growth rate of 3.5% for our Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reporting units in the determination of fair value. The Company's Wealth Solutions reporting unit estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by 16.6%, or approximately $77 million. A hypothetical 25-basis point increase in the discount rate or a hypothetical 50-basis point decrease in the long-term growth rate would still provide the Company with an excess fair value over its carrying value of 14.5%, or approximately $67 million, in the Company's Wealth Solutions reporting unit. At December 31, 2025, our Health Solutions reporting unit had no goodwill and our Wealth Solutions reporting unit had $83 million of goodwill.

The Company's effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were (1)%, 5% and 6%, respectively.

The Company's income tax expense varies from the expense that would be expected based on statutory rates due principally to its organizational structure. The Company is taxed as a corporation and is subject to corporate federal, state, and local taxes on the income allocated to it from Alight Holdings, based upon the Company's economic interest in Alight Holdings, and any stand-alone income or loss generated by the Company. Alight Holdings and certain subsidiaries combine to form a single entity taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As such, Alight Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. The partners of Alight Holdings, including the Company, are liable for federal, state, and local income taxes based on their allocable share

------

of Alight Holdings' pass-through taxable income, which includes income of Alight Holdings' subsidiaries that are treated as disregarded entities separate from Alight Holdings for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was lower than the 21% U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate primarily due to changes in valuation allowances, tax credits, non-deductible expenses, and certain non-recurring items, including non-deductible goodwill impairment.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act established global intangible law-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions that impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on intangible assets of foreign corporations. The Company recognizes the taxes on GILTI as a period expense rather than recognizing deferred taxes for basis differences that are expected to affect the amount of GILTI inclusion upon reversal.

***Deferred Income Taxes***

The components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in millions):

---

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had U.S. and foreign net operating losses ("NOL") of $104 million and $30 million, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2033 with certain jurisdictions having indefinite carryforward terms. The company also generated and utilized foreign and research and development tax credits which have an expiration of 10 and 20 years respectively.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized and adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including the period of expiration, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax-planning strategies, and three years of cumulative operating income (loss). Management judgment is required in determining the assumptions and estimates related to the amount and timing of future taxable income by jurisdiction to which the tax asset relates. The Company maintains valuation allowances with regard to the tax benefits on certain deferred tax assets, and periodically assesses the adequacy thereof. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance increased by $409 million compared to the prior year, including $9 million in non-U.S.

jurisdictions. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the valuation allowance increased by $26 million compared to the prior year, of which $23 million related to U.S. tax credits and $3 million related to NOLs in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA made several changes to business tax provisions including modifications to the Section 163j interest expense limitation and immediate expensing of domestic research and development expenditures. After considering impacts associated with the Company's valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2025, the impact was immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will continue to monitor any developments and guidance related to the OBBBA.

***Term Loan***

In June 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 10 to its credit agreement, dated as of May 1, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), with a syndicate of lenders to establish a new class of Sixth Incremental Term Loans (the "Sixth Incremental Term Loans") with an aggregate principal amount of $2,489 million to reprice the outstanding Fifth Incremental Term Loans due August 31, 2028 by reducing the applicable rate from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") + 2.75% to SOFR + 2.25%.

In July 2024, the Company paid down $440 million of the Sixth Incremental Term Loans principal balance with proceeds from the Divestiture.

In January 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 11 to the Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders to establish a new class of Seventh Incremental Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount of $2,030 million and to reprice the outstanding Sixth Incremental Term Loans due August 31, 2028 by reducing the applicable rate from SOFR + 2.25% to SOFR + 1.75%.

Interest rates on the Term Loan borrowings are based on SOFR plus a margin. The Company is required to make principal payments at the end of each fiscal quarter based on defined terms in the Credit Agreement with the remaining principal balances due on the maturity dates.

The Company utilized swap agreements to fix a portion of the floating interest rates through December 2026 (see Note 13, "Derivative Financial Instruments").

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made total principal payments on the Incremental Term Loans of $20 million and $25 million, respectively.

***Revolving Credit Facility***

In August 2021, the Company entered into a $294 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 31, 2026. In March 2023, the Company amended and upsized the revolving credit facility to $300 million and updated the benchmark reference rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR. In May 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, which increased the aggregate principal amount of its revolving credit facility to $330 million and extended the maturity date to May 31, 2030. At December 31, 2025, an immaterial amount of unused letters of credit related to insurance policies were issued under the revolving credit facility and there were no outstanding borrowings.

Alight has the option to cash settle any future exchange.

The Continuing Unit holders' ownership of Class A units represents the noncontrolling interest of the Company, which is accounted for as permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025, there were 524,425,983 Class A Units outstanding, of which 523,941,625 are held by the Company and 484,358 are held by the noncontrolling interest of the Company.

In addition, the Alight Holdings limited liability company agreement permits Alight, in its capacity as the managing member of Alight Holdings, to take actions to maintain such ratio, including undertaking stock splits, combinations, recapitalization and exercises of the exchange rights of holders of Alight Holdings units.

*Exchange of Class A Units*

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 25,879, 28,987,597, and 34,519,247 Class A units and a corresponding number of shares of Class V Common Stock were exchanged for Class A Common Stock, respectively. As a result of the exchanges, Alight, Inc. increased its ownership in Alight Holdings. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the impacts of the exchanges were immaterial to the financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company increased its equity by approximately $273 million and $344 million, respectively, recorded in Additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA") that Alight entered into in connection with the Business Combination, described in Note 15, "Tax Receivable Agreement," the Class A unit exchanges created additional TRA liabilities of $90 million and $109 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with offsets to Additional paid-in-capital. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, a $1 million, $11 million and $43 million change to Additional paid-in-capital, respectively, was due to deferred taxes as a result of these exchanges.

*Share Repurchase Program*

On August 1, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "Program"), under which the Company may repurchase issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock from time to time, depending on market conditions and alternate uses of capital. The Program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares and there is no guarantee as to any number of shares being repurchased by the Company. On February 13, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $200 million of the Company's Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the total remaining amount authorized for repurchase was $216 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased 13,881,417 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $65 million under the share repurchase program.

On June 18, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the "ASR") with Barclays Bank PLC (the "ASR counterparty") to repurchase $75 million of Alight's Class A Common Stock, as part of the Company's existing share repurchase program. On July 16, 2024, the Company made an initial payment of $75 million to the ASR counterparty and received an initial delivery of shares equal in value to 80% of the prepayment amount of $75 million, based on Alight's closing share price as of the effective date of July 15, 2024. The final number of shares repurchased was based on the volume-weighted average price of Alight's common stock during the term of the transaction, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR. The ASR was settled on September 23, 2024, resulting in an additional delivery of 2,400,041 shares of Alight's Class A Common Stock. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 10,563,306 shares of Alight's Class A Common Stock in aggregate for $75 million as part of the ASR.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 22,327,717 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $167 million, inclusive of shares repurchased under the ASR discussed above.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 4,921,468 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $40 million.

Repurchased shares are reflected as Treasury Stock on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of equity.

Repurchases may be conducted through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The actual timing and amount of future repurchases are subject to business and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, stock price, acquisition opportunities and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate Alight to acquire any amount of common stock, and the program may be suspended or terminated at any time by Alight at its discretion without prior notice.

On February 19, 2026, the Company announced it will replace its cash dividend on its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with other capital allocation activities, including deleveraging the balance sheet and continuing our share repurchase program, subject to market and other conditions.

***Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income***

As of December 31, 2025, the Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") balance included unrealized gains and losses for interest rate swaps and foreign currency translation adjustments related to our foreign subsidiaries that do not have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. The tax effect on the Company's pre-tax AOCI items is recorded in the AOCI balance. This tax is comprised of two items: (1) the tax effects related to the unrealized pre-tax items recorded in AOCI and (2) the tax effect related to certain valuation allowances that have also been recorded in AOCI. When unrealized items in AOCI are recognized, the associated tax effects on these items will also be recognized in the tax provision.

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of noncontrolling interests, are as follows (in millions):

**10. Share-Based Compensation**

*Predecessor Plans*

Prior to the Business Combination, share-based payments to employees included grants of restricted share units ("RSUs") and performance based restricted share units ("PRSUs"), which consisted of both Class A-1 and Class B common units in each type, were measured based on their estimated grant date fair value. As a result of the change in control related to the Business Combination, the vesting of the time-based PRSU Class B units accelerated on the Closing Date. The remaining unvested PRSU Class B units had vesting conditions that were contingent upon the achievement of defined internal rates of return and multiples on invested capital occurrence and of certain liquidity events. The Class A-1 RSUs and PRSUs that were unvested as of the Closing Date had time-based and/or vesting conditions that were contingent upon the achievement of defined internal rates of return and multiples on invested capital occurrence and of certain liquidity events. Both the unvested Class A-1 and Class B units were replaced with unvested shares of Alight common stock as discussed below.

*Successor Plans*

In connection with the Business Combination, the holders of certain unvested awards under the Predecessor plans were granted replacement awards in the Successor company.

*Class B units:* The unvested Class B units of Alight Holdings will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the achievement of certain market conditions, if achieved prior to the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date.

*Class A-1 units:* The unvested Class A-1 units of Alight Holdings were granted replacement unvested Class A Common Stock, unvested Class B Common Stock, and unvested Class B-2 Common Stock of the Company on an equivalent fair value basis. The service-based portion of the grant vests ratably over periods of two to five years and the remaining portion vests upon achievement of certain market-based conditions.

The Class B and Class A-1 units that were replaced represented the unvested Class A, unvested Class B-1 and unvested Class B-2 Common Stock subject to the forfeiture re-allocation provision per the Class Z instruments discussed in Note 9 "Stockholders' Equity". These unvested shares were accounted for as restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718. As of July 2, 2024, all remaining shares of Class Z Common Stock were either forfeited or became fully vested in accordance with their terms.

The Company has an active equity incentive plan, the Alight, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), under which the Company has been authorized to grant share-based awards to key employees and non-employee directors, which consist primarily of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance share units ("PRSUs"). Under this plan, for grants issued during the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 58% of the units are subject to time-based vesting requirements and approximately 42% are subject to additional performance-based vesting requirements. As of December 31, 2025, there were 91,698,568 remaining shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock-based compensation plans under its 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. RSU and PSU nonvested share-based payment awards contain rights to receive forfeitable dividends and therefore are not participating securities.

*Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units* 

Time-based RSUs are valued at the market price of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In general, these awards vest ratably over a three-year period from the date of grant. All awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over a three-year period, which is considered to be the requisite service period.

The Company's PRSUs contain various performance and service conditions that must be satisfied for an employee to earn the right to benefit from the award. The PRSUs vest upon achievement of various performance metrics aligned to goals established by the Company. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions, with changes in expectations recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of the change. Compensation cost is not recognized for performance share units that do not vest because service or performance conditions are not satisfied, and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of RSUs and PRSUs granted during each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $5.52, $8.68, $8.72 and $5.96, $8.73, $8.82, respectively.

_______________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> The number of PRSUs presented are based on actual or expected achievement of the respective performance goals as of the end of the period.

*Share-based Compensation Expense*

Total share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs and PRSUs are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as follows (in millions):

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **December 31, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2023** |
| Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization | $7 | $14 | $30 |
| Selling, general and administrative | 12 | 62 | 109 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $19 | $76 | $139 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, total future compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $29 million, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately 1.69 years. As of December 31, 2025, total future compensation expense related to unvested PRSUs was $2 million, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average amortization period of approximately 1.31 years.

*Employee Stock Purchase Plan* 

In December 2022, the Company began offering its employees an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). Under the ESPP, all full-time and certain part-time employees of the Company based in the U.S. and certain other countries are eligible to purchase Class A Common Stock of the Company twice per year at the end of a six-month payment period (a "Payment Period"). During each Payment Period, eligible employees who so elect may authorize payroll deductions in an amount no less than 1% nor greater than 10% of his or her base pay for each payroll period in the Payment Period. At the end of each Payment Period, the accumulated deductions are used to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock from the Company up to a maximum of 1,250 shares for any one employee during a Payment Period. Shares may be purchased at a discount of up to 15% of the fair market value of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the last business day of a Payment Period. As of December 31, 2025, there were 11,770,621 remaining shares available for grant and 4,503,334 shares issued under the ESPP. The amount of share-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was approximately $1.0 million, $1.5 million, and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, which was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

**11. Earnings Per Share**

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to Alight, Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares or resulted in the issuance of shares that would then share in the net income of Alight, Inc. The Company's Class V Common Stock does not, and its Class Z Common Stock did not, participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities and have not been included in either the basic or diluted earnings per share calculations. RSU and PSU nonvested share-based payment awards contain rights to receive forfeitable dividends and therefore are not participating securities.

------

In conjunction with the Business Combination, the Company issued Seller Earnouts contingent consideration, which is payable in the Company's Common Stock when the related market conditions are achieved. As the related conditions to pay the consideration had not been satisfied as of December 31, 2025, the Seller Earnouts were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations.

Basic and diluted (net loss) earnings per share are as follows (in millions, except for share and per share amounts):

For the year ended December 31, 2025, 484,358 units related to noncontrolling interests and 7,617,889 unvested RSUs were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, 14,999,998 shares related to the Seller Earnouts and 650,074 unvested PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the market and performance conditions had not yet been met as of the end of the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 7,325,106 unvested RSUs were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, 14,999,998 shares related to the Seller Earnouts and 10,878,457 unvested PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the market and performance conditions had not yet been met as of the end of the period.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, 28,962,218 units related to noncontrolling interests and 10,080,390 unvested RSUs were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, 14,999,998 shares related to the Seller Earnouts and 27,411,360 unvested PRSUs were excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the market and performance conditions had not yet been met as of the end of the period.

**12. Segment Reporting**

We currently operate under one reportable segment, Employer Solutions. Employer Solutions is driven by our Alight Worklife platform, and includes integrated benefits administration, healthcare navigation, financial wellbeing, leave of absence management and retiree healthcare. Our previous Other nonreportable segment was comprised of our former Hosted business, which was wound down in 2023 and had no activity during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company's reportable segment has been determined using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") uses financial information for the

------

purposes of allocating resources and evaluating performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is its CODM. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company based on Revenue and Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations.

The CODM also uses Revenue and Net Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations to manage and evaluate our business, make planning decisions, and as performance measures for Company-wide incentive compensation plans. These key financial measures provide an additional view of our operational performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business. The Company does not report assets by reportable segments as this information is not reviewed by the CODM on a regular basis.

Information regarding the Company's reportable segment is as follows (in millions):

**13. Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes in interest rates. To manage the risk related to these exposures, the Company has entered into various derivative instruments that reduce these risks by creating offsetting exposures.

***Interest Rate Swaps***

The Company has utilized swap agreements that will fix the floating interest rates associated with its Term Loan as shown in the following table:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Designation Date** | **Effective Date** | **Initial Notional Amount** | **Notional Amount Outstanding as of <br>December 31, 2025** | **Fixed Rate** | **Expiration Date** |

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not execute any new interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges.

***Financial Instrument Presentation***

The Company estimates that approximately $4 million of derivative gains included in Accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2025 will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months.

**14. Financial Instruments** 

***Seller Earnouts***

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the equity owners of Alight Holdings received an earnout in the form of non-voting shares of Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock, which automatically convert into Class A Common Stock if, at any time during the seven years following the Closing Date, certain criteria are achieved. See Note 9, "Stockholders' Equity" for additional information regarding the Seller Earnouts.

The portion of the Seller Earnouts related to employee compensation was accounted for as share-based compensation. As all employee compensation associated with the Seller Earnouts was ultimately vested on July 2, 2024, no

------

portion of the Seller Earnout as of December 31, 2025 was accounted for as share-based compensation. See Note 10, "Share-Based Compensation" for additional information.

As of December 31, 2025, all of the remaining Seller Earnouts were accounted for as a contingent consideration liability at fair value within Financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Seller Earnouts do not meet the criteria for classification within equity. This liability is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Seller Earnouts was immaterial. At December 31, 2024, the Seller Earnouts had a fair value of $51 million. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value remeasurement of the Seller Earnouts resulted in a gain of $51 million and $48 million, respectively. Gains or losses related to the remeasurement of Seller Earnouts are recorded in (Gain) Loss from change in fair value of financial instruments within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The fair value of the Class B-1 and B-2 Seller Earnouts, and, prior to the Class Z vesting on July 2, 2024, the Class Z-B-1 and Z-B-2 contingent consideration instruments, is determined using Monte Carlo simulation and Option Pricing Methods (Level 3 inputs, see Note 16, "Fair Value Measurement"). Significant unobservable inputs are used in the assessment of fair value, including the following assumptions: volatility of 44.70%, risk-free interest rate of 3.48%, expected holding period of 2.50 years, dividend participation, and probability assessments based on the likelihood of reaching the performance targets defined in the Business Combination. A decrease in the risk-free interest rate or expected volatility would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement of the Seller Earnouts and vice versa.

As discussed in Note 9, "Stockholders' Equity", in connection with the ultimate forfeiture of the shares of unvested Class A, unvested Class B-1, and unvested Class B-2 common stock issued to participating management holders on July 2, 2024, all Class Z instruments were ultimately settled resulting in the re-allocation of the forfeited compensatory Class A, Class B-1 and Class B-2 instruments. The Class Z instruments were also accounted for as a contingent consideration liability at fair value within Financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets because these instruments did not meet the criteria for classification within equity. The fair value of the Class Z-A contingent consideration was determined using the ending share price as of the last day of each quarter until settlement on July 2, 2024, resulting in the issuance of $1.5 million shares of Class A common stock and units at the $7.09 stock price on that date.

At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class Z-A contingent consideration was no longer outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not record any losses or gains. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $2 million in (Gain) Loss from change in fair value of financial instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a result of the forfeiture of unvested management equity that was ultimately re-allocated to the holders of Class Z instruments on July 2, 2024. See Note 9, "Stockholders' Equity" for additional information regarding these instruments.

***Additional Seller Note***

As disclosed above in Note 1 "Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business", on July 12, 2024, the Company closed on the Divestiture. As part of the sale, the Company received a note with an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million (the "Additional Seller Note") with an initial fair value of $43 million as of July 12, 2024 to be issued by the Note Issuer. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. The Additional Seller Note is considered a level 3 recurring fair value measurement. In June 2025, the Company determined the fair value of the Additional Seller Note was zero. This value remained unchanged as of December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of $50 million from the fair value remeasurement of the Additional Seller Note. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $7 million from the fair value remeasurement of the Additional Seller Note. Gains or losses related to the recurring fair value remeasurement of the Additional Seller Note are recorded in (Gain) Loss from change in fair value of financial instruments within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The fair value of the Additional Seller Note was determined using a variation of the income approach (Level 3 inputs, see Note 16, "Fair Value Measurement"). Significant unobservable inputs are used in the assessment of fair value, including the following assumptions: expected Adjusted EBITDA, expected maturity of 4.53 years for the Additional Seller Note, the Divested Business's estimated cost of debt, and the likelihood of reaching the performance targets defined in the Purchase Agreement.

**15. Tax Receivable Agreement**

In connection with the Business Combination, Alight entered into the TRA with certain owners of Alight Holdings prior to the Business Combination. Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay holders of TRA interests, as applicable, 85% of any savings that we realize, calculated using certain assumptions, as a result of (i) tax basis adjustments from sales and exchanges of Alight Holdings equity interests in connection with or following the Business Combination and certain distributions with respect to Alight Holdings equity interests, (ii) our utilization of certain tax attributes, and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to entering into the TRA.

------

Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the TRA as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the TRA, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending upon a number of factors, we expect that the payments that Alight may make under the TRA will be substantial.

The Company's TRA liability established upon completion of the Business Combination is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The TRA liability balance at December 31, 2025 assumes: (i) a blended U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate of 26.5%; (ii) the latest estimates in taxable income inclusive of the OBBBA which was enacted into law in the U.S. in July 2025; (iii) the ability to utilize tax attributes based on current tax forecasts; and (iv) future payments under the TRA are made when due under the TRA. The amount of the expected future payments under the TRA has been discounted to its present value using a discount rate of 7.4%.

Subsequent to the Business Combination, we record additional liabilities under the TRA as and when Class A units of Alight Holdings are exchanged for Class A Common Stock. Liabilities resulting from these exchanges will be recorded on a gross undiscounted basis and are not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no significant exchanges. As such, no material additional TRA liability was established as a result of the exchanges. During the year ended December 31, 2024, an additional TRA liability of $90 million was established as a result of exchanges. As of December 31, 2025, $435 million of the TRA liability was measured at fair value on a recurring basis and $229 million was undiscounted and not remeasured at fair value. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company received an Objection Notice from the TRA Party Representative with respect to certain methodology used to prepare a portion of the Tax Benefit Schedule that calculates our 2026 Tax Benefit Payments to the TRA Parties (all capitalized terms as defined in the TRA). The Company disagrees with the TRA Party Representative's assertions and is in discussions to resolve this matter. If a resolution is not reached timely, the parties will proceed through the dispute mechanisms as set forth in the TRA agreement. The Company intends to vigorously contest the TRA Representative's assertions in the Objection Notice. If the TRA Representative nonetheless prevails in its position or the Company resolves the dispute consensually, the Company currently estimates that a resolution could increase the 2026 Tax Benefit Payments by up to $20 million above the Company's current estimate of $156 million. The Objection Notice does not address the Company's current 2027 Tax Benefit Payments estimate.

The following table summarizes the changes in the TRA liabilities (in millions):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Tax Receivable <br>Agreement Liability** |
| Beginning balance as of December 31, 2024 | $857 |

**16. Fair Value Measurement**

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements include a hierarchy for information and valuations used in measuring fair value that is broken down into three levels based on reliability, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the use of valuation techniques and the development of assumptions.

_________________________________________________________

<sup>(1)</sup> Excludes the portion of liability related to the exchanges of Class A Units not measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

***Derivatives***

The valuations of the derivatives intended to mitigate our interest rate risk are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, interest rate volatility, or spot and forward exchange rates, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential non-performance risk.

The carrying value of the Term Loan includes the outstanding principal balance, less any unamortized premium.

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Receivables, net and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

During each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers in or out of the Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classifications.

**17. Restructuring**

***Transformation Program***

On February 20, 2023, the Company approved a two-year strategic transformation restructuring program (the "Transformation Program") intended to accelerate the Company's back-office infrastructure into the cloud and transform its operating model leveraging technology in order to reduce its overall future costs. The Transformation Program included process and system optimization, third party costs associated with technology infrastructure transformation, and elimination of full-time positions. From the inception of the plan through March 31, 2025, the Company incurred total expenses of $140 million, and the plan was complete. These charges were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

***Post-Separation Plan***

On May 6, 2025, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a program (the "Post-Separation Plan" or "PSP") intended to further optimize our operations following the sale of the Divested Business in July 2024. The PSP includes simplifying our post-divestiture operating model, rationalizing our technology spend, expanding our use of artificial intelligence and automation and continued optimization of real estate. The Company currently expects to record in the aggregate approximately $65 million in pre-tax restructuring costs over the duration of the PSP, which includes primarily cash severance payments with an estimated range of $20 million to $25 million and other restructuring cash payments and charges related to technology spend, professional services and optimization of real estate with an estimated range of $35 million to $45 million. The Company estimates an annual savings of over $75 million after the PSP is completed. The PSP commenced in the second quarter of 2025 and is expected to be substantially completed over an estimated fifteen-month period from the commencement date. These charges are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(1)Other restructuring costs primarily include data center exit costs, optimization of real estate, third-party fees associated with the restructuring, and costs associated with transitioning existing technology and processes. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $13 million loss on abandonment for certain facilities. The related liabilities will be satisfied under the original terms of the lease, unless buy-outs can be negotiated.

As of December 31, 2025, approximately $13 million of the Company's total severance and related benefits restructuring liability was unpaid and recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

**18. Employee Benefits**

***Defined Contribution Savings Plans***

Certain of the Company's employees participate in a defined contribution savings plan sponsored by the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, expenses were $26 million, $33 million and $41 million, respectively. Expenses were recognized in Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization and Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

------

**19. Lease Obligations**

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Other assets, Other current liabilities and Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate which is based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company's most significant leases are office facilities. For these leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitted under Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASC 842") to combine lease and non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components are accounted for as an element within a single lease. The Company's remaining operating leases are primarily comprised of equipment leases. The Company also leases certain IT equipment under finance leases which are reflected on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as computer equipment within Fixed assets, net.

Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, common area maintenance, payments based on the usage of the asset, and rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. These variable payments are not included in the lease liabilities reflected on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company subleases portions of its buildings to third parties. The right of use liability associated with these leases are not offset with expected rental incomes, as we remain primarily obligated for the leases.

The Company's lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees, restrictions, or covenants.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in millions):

**20. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Legal***

The Company is subject to various claims, tax assessments, lawsuits, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business relating to the delivery of our services and the effectiveness of our technologies. The damages claimed in these matters are or may be substantial. Accruals for any exposures, and related insurance or other receivables, when applicable, are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These amounts are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant. Management believes that the reserves established are appropriate based on the facts currently known. The reserves recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not significant.

***Guarantees and Indemnifications***

The Company provides a variety of service performance guarantees and indemnifications to its clients. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could become payable under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or other methods. These notional amounts may bear no relationship to the future payments that may be made, if any, for these guarantees and indemnifications.

To date, the Company has not been required to make any payment under any client arrangement as described above. The Company has assessed the current status of performance risk related to the client arrangements with performance guarantees and believes that any potential payments would be immaterial to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

***Purchase Obligations***

In March 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party provider in the ordinary course of business for the use of certain cloud services. Under this agreement, the Company is committed to purchase services totaling $250 million over a 5-year term. The Company's total expected cash outflow for non-cancellable purchase obligations related to purchases of information technology assets and services is $83 million, $80 million, $62 million, and $17 million for the years ended 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively and none thereafter, totaling $242 million.

***Service Obligations***

On September 1, 2018, the Company executed an agreement to form a strategic partnership with Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company. Effective April 1, 2025, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 which adjusted the mix of services provided by Wipro. Effective January 25, 2026, the Company executed Amendment No. 5 to extend the agreement through August 31, 2029. The Company may terminate certain elements of its arrangement with Wipro for cause or for the Company's convenience with no penalty prior to August 31, 2029. If an unconsumed portion of the obligation remains after August 31, 2029, then the Company shall satisfy the obligation by paying Wipro the remaining unconsumed portion by September 30, 2029. Following the amendments, the Company's expected remaining cash outflow for non-cancellable service obligations related to our strategic partnership with Wipro is $123 million, $70 million, $39 million, and $15 million for the years ended 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, respectively, and none thereafter, totaling $247 million.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required or necessary disclosures. Based

------

on the aforementioned evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a–15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer) and the Company's Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company's accounting policies and internal controls over financial reporting, established and maintained by management, are under the general oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee").

The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on management's evaluation, management concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

**Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report, has issued a report on our internal control over financial reporting. That report follows.

------

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Alight, Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

We have audited Alight, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Alight, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) and our report dated February 24, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

## Exhibit 10.35

**Exhibit 10.35**

**<u>SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE</u>**

I, David D. Guilmette, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Alight Solutions LLC (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the "**Company**"), of its obligations under the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of October 17, 2024, as amended (the "**Agreement**"), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and all present, former and future managers, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the "**Released Parties**") to the extent provided below (this "**General Release**"). The Released Parties are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.From the date hereof until December 31, 2025 (the "**Continuation Period**"), I will remain employed with the Company in my current capacity pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. My employment with the Company and its affiliates will terminate as of the close of business on December 31, 2025 (the "**Termination Date**") with such termination being characterized as a termination by the Company without Cause for purposes of the Agreement, and I hereby resign from any position as an officer, member of the board of managers or directors (as applicable) or fiduciary of the Company, Parent and each of their respective affiliates, effective as of the Termination Date and the Company will provide, and I will execute, any documents necessary to effectuate my termination of employment with the Company and my corresponding resignation from all such positions. I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under <u>Section 8(e)</u> of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive certain of the payments and benefits specified in <u>Section 8(e)</u> of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter. I understand and agree that such payments and benefits are subject to <u>Sections 8</u>, <u>9</u>, and <u>10</u> of the Agreement, which (as noted below) expressly survive my termination of employment and the execution of this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates. The Company agrees that I will receive a full and un-prorated Annual Bonus for the 2025 calendar year based on actual results for such year (*provided* that any applicable individual subjective performance criteria shall be deemed achieved at target). For the avoidance of doubt, I acknowledge and agree that my "Severance Multiple" for purposes of Section 8(e)(i) of the Agreement shall be 1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.The Company has agreed that if I continue to perform my duties pursuant to the Agreement during the Continuation Period and successfully help the Company with its development and implementation of its 2026 business plan and anticipated transition issues during the Continuation Period, in each case, as determined by the Board in good faith, then the Company shall engage me as a consultant for a period of three (3) months following the Termination Date (the "**Consulting Period**") pursuant to the terms set forth in this paragraph 2. To the extent the Company engages my consulting services during the Consulting Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, I shall not be an officer, director or employee of the Company or its affiliates and I shall not have any policy-making functions with respect to any such entities during such Consulting Period. During such Consulting Period (if any), I shall provide transition services to the Company, remotely (not subject to in person travel) on an as-needed basis, including assisting the Board and the successor Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the "**Successor CEO**") with matters relating to facilitating the transition of my duties and responsibilities to the Successor CEO (the "**Transition Services**") and, as compensation for the Transition Services, the Company shall pay me a consulting fee of $72,500 per month during the Consulting Period, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. During any such Consulting Period, my Transition Services shall be treated as continued service with the Company solely for purposes of vesting with respect to my time-vesting restricted stock units in Parent that were granted to me on March 10, 2025 and were outstanding as of the Termination Date (the "**2025 RSUs**"). During the Consulting Period and thereafter, I will not be restricted from engaging in other activity (paid or unpaid) outside of the Company, subject to

------

my adhering to non-compete and non-solicitation covenants and provided that any such activity does not conflict with my duties and responsibilities in providing the Transition Services during the Consulting Period. Upon the conclusion of the Consulting Period, my 2025 RSUs shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan, documents and agreements governing such equity awards that are applicable upon a termination without "Cause". I acknowledge and agree that I will not be eligible to participate in any Company benefit plans or receive any executive or employee perquisites during or following the Consulting Period, except for health insurance benefits provided pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) of the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Except as provided in paragraphs 5, 6 and 12 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys' fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, (i) from the beginning of time through the date upon which I execute this General Release; (ii) arising out of, or relating to, my employment with any Released Parties; (iii) arising out of, or relating to, any agreement and/or any awards, policies, plans, programs or practices of the Released Parties that may apply to me or in which I may participate, including, but not limited to, any rights under bonus plans or programs of Released Parties and/or any other short-term or long-term equity-based or cash-based incentive plans or programs of the Released Parties; or (iv) arising out of or connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company, including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in these matters (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the "**Claims**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 3 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever in respect of any Claim, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law. Nothing in this Agreement waives, releases, modifies or impairs my rights under the governing equity award agreements and the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (including, without limitation, the treatment of equity awards upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan), including any rights with respect to the reinstatement of any equity awards to the extent provided under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan and any applicable equity award agreement). Additionally, I am not waiving (i) any right to the Accrued Amounts or any severance benefits to which I am entitled under the Agreement or this General Release, (ii) any claim relating to directors' and officers'

------

liability insurance coverage or any right of indemnification under the Company's organizational documents or otherwise with respect to services rendered through the Termination Date and during the Consulting Period (and Company indemnification and advancement and D&O coverage shall continue in accordance with such organizational documents to the fullest extent permitted by law and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable D&O insurance policy as in effect from time to time), (iii) any rights I may have under paragraph 2 above relating to the Consulting Period (to the extent the Company elects to engage my services as described in paragraph 2 above), (iv) any rights I may have under paragraph 15 below relating to the payment of my reasonable legal fees directly to my counsel, or (v) my rights as an equity or security holder in the Company or its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.I agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.I agree not to make, or cause any other person to make, any communication that is intended to disparage, or has the effect of disparaging, the Company or its affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, shareholders, members, or advisors (or any of its or their respective employees, officers or directors, it being understood that communication made in my good faith performance of my duties hereunder shall not be deemed disparaging for purposes of this General Release). The Company agrees to instruct the Board and the Company and its subsidiaries' executives (and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure compliance with such instruction) not to make negative comments about me or otherwise disparage me in any manner that is likely to be harmful to my business reputation. Nothing set forth herein shall be interpreted to prohibit me and the Company and its subsidiaries (or their respective executives), or members of the Board from responding truthfully to incorrect public statements, making truthful statements when required by law, subpoena or court order and/or from responding to any inquiry by any regulatory or investigatory organization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.I hereby acknowledge that <u>Sections 8(e)</u> and <u>(f)</u>, <u>9</u>, <u>10</u>, and <u>13</u> through <u>21</u> of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this General Release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 3 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.<u>Limitations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.I understand and acknowledge that this General Release does not preclude me from filing a complaint with or participating in or cooperating with an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state or local fair employment practices agency, but I hereby waive all rights to recover any relief from the Company and its affiliates (including but not limited to an award of monetary damages or reinstatement to employment) in connection with such a complaint or investigation, including any related court litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.I understand that nothing in this General Release prohibits, or is intended in any manner to prohibit, me from providing testimony or reporting a possible violation of federal, state or local law or regulation, including to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the National Labor Relations Board (the "<u>NLRB</u>"), Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation. I understand that I do not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company or the Company's legal counsel to make any such reports or disclosures, and I am not required to notify the Company that I have made such reports or disclosures. I further understand that nothing in this General Release limits my ability to receive a whistleblower or other award from a governmental agency or entity for information provided to such an agency or entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.I understand that nothing in this General Release or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) for confidential disclosures of trade secrets to government officials, or lawyers, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or in a sealed filing in court or other proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.I understand that nothing in this General Release is intended to interfere with or restrain me from exercising my rights under the National Labor Relations Act, if applicable, including my rights under Section 7 to discuss terms and conditions of employment or file a charge with the NLRB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.This General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from initiating or responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any governmental entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.As soon as practicable following the date on which this General Release becomes effective and enforceable, the Company will pay my counsel for up to $20,000 in reasonable legal fees incurred in connection with the review, negotiation and documentation of this General Release.

BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.I UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RIGHTS UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, AS AMENDED, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, AS AMENDED; THE EQUAL PAY ACT OF 1963, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990; AND THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED;

The Executive shall report directly to the Board. The Executive shall report into the Company's offices in Chicago, Illinois, <u>provided</u> that the Executive shall be permitted to work remotely from the Executive's home office in Atlanta, Georgia, and shall be required to travel to the Company's office in Chicago, Illinois, and to such other locations as may be required from time to time for business purposes.

The Company agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive agrees to be so employed, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Executive's employment hereunder shall commence on the Commencement Date and continue until terminated in accordance with <u>Sections 8</u> and <u>9</u> hereof. The period of time between the Commencement Date and the termination of the Executive's employment hereunder shall be referred to herein as the "**Employment Term**".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.<u>Base Salar</u>y. The Company agrees to pay the Executive a base salary at an annual rate of $900,000, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company. The Executive's base salary shall be subject to annual review by the Board (or a committee thereof), and may be increased (but not decreased) from time to time by the Board. The base salary as determined herein and as may be increased from time-to-time shall constitute "**Base Salary**" for purposes of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.<u>Annual Bonus</u>. For each calendar year that ends during the Executive's employment, the Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual incentive payment (the "**Annual Bonus**") based on a target bonus opportunity of 200% of Base Salary (the "**Target Bonus**") with greater or lesser amounts paid for performance above and below target, based upon the attainment of one or more objective performance goals established and reviewed annually by the Board (or a committee thereof) under the Company's annual incentive plan (as in effect from time to time, the "**Annual Incentive Plan**"). The performance criteria for any particular year shall be provided to the Executive within five (5) days following the approval by the Board (or a committee thereof). The Annual Bonus for the 2026 calendar year will be equal to the greater of (i) the Annual Bonus earned based on actual performance and (ii) 50% of the Target Bonus. The Annual Bonus, to the extent earned, will be paid consistent with the timing of when bonuses are paid by the Company under the Annual Incentive Plan to which the applicable Annual Bonus relates. Except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 9</u>, payment of the Annual Bonus is contingent upon the Executive's employment through the applicable bonus payment date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.<u>Make-Whole Cash Bonus</u>. Within ninety (90) days following the Commencement Date, the Company shall pay the Executive a one-time cash payment in the amount of $800,000 (the "**Make-Whole Cash Bonus**"), contingent upon the Executive's substantiation of his forfeiture of his 2025 annual cash bonus opportunity from his prior employer.

The Sign-On Equity Grant shall have a grant date value (based on closing trading price of Parent common stock) equal to the aggregate value of the unvested time-based and performance-based equity awards issued by Crawford & Company (the "**Prior Employer**") that were scheduled to vest in respect of the performance periods ending December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026 and were instead forfeited by the Executive, in each case, valuing such forfeited equity awards by multiplying the ninety (90)-day trailing average closing price of the Prior Employer's common stock as of the Commencement Date by the number of Prior Employer shares covered by such forfeited equity awards (using the target number of shares in the case of

------

any performance-based awards); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that in no event shall the grant date value of the Sign-On Equity Grant exceed $2,500,000. The Sign-On Equity Grant shall vest in full on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, subject to the Executive's continued employment through such date, except as otherwise provided in <u>Section 9</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>2026 Long-Term Incentive Grant</u>. At the same time that annual long-term equity incentive awards are granted to other senior executives of the Company, currently expected to occur during March 2026, the Executive shall be granted equity awards under the Omnibus Incentive Plan having an aggregate target grant date value equal to $5,400,000, with such grants to be comprised 50% of RSUs (vesting in 3 equal annual installments over 3 years) and 50% of performance-vesting stock units ("**PSUs**") (vesting based on performance over the 2026-2028 performance period), in each case, with terms and conditions consistent with awards granted to other similarly situated executives of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Additional Long-Term Incentive Grants</u>.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend, modify, or terminate any employee benefit plan at any time, provided that, in the case of any broad-based plan, any such amendment, modification or termination applies to all similarly situated senior executives and does not single out the Executive for adverse treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Paid Time Off</u>.

------

an amount sufficient to place the Executive in the same after-tax position as if such payments, housing accommodation or reimbursements had not been taxable, taking into account any taxes imposed on the additional payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Indemnification</u>.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b). Accordingly, the parties to this Agreement have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.

The Executive acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the Company and its affiliates and that the Executive has sufficient assets and skills to provide a livelihood while such covenants remain in force. It is also agreed that the Company's affiliates will have the right to enforce all of the Executive's obligations to such affiliates under this Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to this <u>Section 10</u>.

During the pendency of any litigation or other proceeding involving Claims, the Executive shall not communicate with anyone (other than the Executive's attorneys and tax and/or financial advisors and except to the extent that the Executive determines in good faith is necessary in connection with the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder) with respect to the facts or subject matter of any pending or potential litigation or regulatory or administrative proceeding involving the Company or any of its affiliates without giving prior written notice to the Company or the Company's counsel. Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel, duplicating or telephonic expenses incurred by the Executive in complying with this <u>Section 11</u>. It is expressly agreed that the Company's rights to avail itself of the Executive's advice and consultation services shall at all times be exercised in a reasonable manner, and that adequate notice shall be given to the Executive in such events.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.<u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.<u>Assignment</u>.

**EXHIBIT A**

**<u>GENERAL RELEASE</u>**

I, Rohit Verma, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Alight Solutions LLC (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the "**Company**"), of its obligations under the Employment Agreement dated as of [•] (the "**Agreement**"), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof the Company and its respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and all present, former and future managers, directors, officers, employees, successors and assigns of the Company and its affiliates and direct or indirect owners (collectively, the "**Released Parties**") to the extent provided below (this "**General Release**"). The Released Parties are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this General Release, and this General Release may be enforced by each of them in accordance with the terms hereof in respect of the rights granted to such Released Parties hereunder. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.My employment or service with the Company and its affiliates terminated as of [_______], and I hereby resign from any position as an officer, member of the board of managers or directors (as applicable) or fiduciary of the Company or its affiliates (or reaffirm any such resignation that may have already occurred). I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under <u>Section 9</u> of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled. I understand and agree that I will not receive certain of the payments and benefits specified in <u>Section 9</u> of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter. I understand and agree that such payments and benefits are subject to <u>Sections 9</u>, <u>10</u>, and <u>11</u> of the Agreement, which (as noted below) expressly survive my termination of employment and the execution of this General Release. Such payments and benefits will not be considered compensation for purposes of any employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement maintained or hereafter established by the Company or its affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Except as provided in sections 4, 5 and 11 below and except for the provisions of the Agreement which expressly survive the termination of my employment with the Company, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Company and the other Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys' fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date that this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against the Company or any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, (i) from the beginning of time through the date upon which I execute this General Release; (ii) arising out of, or relating to, my employment with any Released Parties; (iii) arising out of, or relating to, any agreement and/or any awards, policies, plans, programs or practices of the Released Parties that may apply to me or in which I may participate, including, but not limited to, any rights under bonus plans or programs of Released Parties and/or any other short-term or long-term equity-based or cash-based incentive plans or programs of the Released Parties; or (iv) arising out of or connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company, including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including by the Older

Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in these matters (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the "**Claims**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release, or my ability to challenge the validity of my release of claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.I agree that I hereby waive all rights to sue or obtain equitable, remedial or punitive relief from any or all Released Parties of any kind whatsoever in respect of any Claim, including, without limitation, reinstatement, back pay, front pay, and any form of injunctive relief. Notwithstanding the above, I further acknowledge that I am not waiving and am not being required to waive any right that cannot be waived under law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state or local statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied. I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement. I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against the Company this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims to the maximum extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.I agree that if I violate this General Release by suing the Company or the other Released Parties, I will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by the Released Parties, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.I agree that this General Release and the Agreement are confidential and agree not to disclose any information regarding the terms of this General Release or the Agreement, except to my immediate family and any tax, legal or other counsel I have consulted regarding the meaning or effect hereof or as required by law, and I will instruct each of the foregoing not to disclose the same to anyone. The obligations in this paragraph 9 shall terminate if any member of the Restricted Group publicly discloses a copy of this General Release or the Agreement (as applicable) to comply with applicable law, subpoena, or any regulatory or securities filings requirement (including any requirement to file this General Release or the Agreement, or a summary thereof, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K or otherwise).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.I hereby acknowledge that <u>Sections 9</u>, <u>10</u>, <u>11</u>, and <u>14</u> through <u>22</u> of the Agreement shall survive my execution of this General Release.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.I acknowledge that I may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different than those which I now know or believe to exist with respect to the subject matter of the release set forth in paragraph 2 above and which, if known or suspected at the time of entering into this General Release, may have materially affected this General Release and my decision to enter into it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.<u>Limitations</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company or by any Released Party of the Agreement after the date hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.I understand and acknowledge that this General Release does not preclude me from filing a complaint with or participating in or cooperating with an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any state or local fair employment practices agency, but I hereby waive all rights to recover any relief from the Company and its affiliates (including but not limited to an award of monetary damages or reinstatement to employment) in connection with such a complaint or investigation, including any related court litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.I understand that nothing in this General Release prohibits, or is intended in any manner to prohibit, me from providing testimony or reporting a possible violation of federal, state or local law or regulation, including to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the National Labor Relations Board (the "<u>NLRB</u>"), Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under whistleblower provisions of federal, state or local law or regulation. I understand that I do not need the prior authorization of anyone at the Company or the Company's legal counsel to make any such reports or disclosures, and I am not required to notify the Company that I have made such reports or disclosures. I further understand that nothing in this General Release limits my ability to receive a whistleblower or other

------

award from a governmental agency or entity for information provided to such an agency or entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.I understand that nothing in this General Release or any other agreement or policy of the Company is intended to interfere with or restrain the immunity provided under 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) for confidential disclosures of trade secrets to government officials, or lawyers, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or in a sealed filing in court or other proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.I understand that nothing in this General Release is intended to interfere with or restrain me from exercising my rights under the National Labor Relations Act, if applicable, including my rights under Section 7 to discuss terms and conditions of employment or file a charge with the NLRB.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.This General Release does not prohibit or restrict me (or my attorney) from initiating or responding to any inquiry about this General Release or its underlying facts and circumstances by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), any other self-regulatory organization or any governmental entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:
