Alight’s Board of Directors Unanimously Votes to Seek Stockholder Approval for Declassification of Board at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Alight, Inc. (the “Company” or “Alight”) (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology-enabled services provider, announced that its Board of Directors has approved declassifying the Board and intends to ask stockholders to vote on a proposal to approve amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the phased declassification of the Board (the “Declassification Proposal”) at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”). The Declassification Proposal is responsive to feedback the Company has received from its stockholders that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company’s stockholders and that shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors reflects governance best practices.

“The decision to seek stockholder approval to declassify the Board is one that we have been considering for some time and is reflective of the meaningful engagement we have had with many key stakeholders, including our investors,” said Russ Fradin, Chairman of Alight’s Board. “This proposed change continues a trend of important governance enhancements, including the significant refreshment of the Board over the past 24 months and the evolution of our long-term compensation practices, which we believe continue to be more closely aligned with stockholder interests. Our Board will continue to act in the best interests of Alight and its stockholders.”

The Declassification Proposal will be detailed in the Company’s 2026 proxy statement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in advance of the 2026 Annual Meeting expected to be held in the second quarter of 2026. The Company’s directors are currently divided into three classes, with the members serving staggered three-year terms. If stockholders approve the proposal, directors elected at the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter will be elected to one-year terms.
