Introductory Note

The Business Combination

On July 2, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation n/k/a Alight Group, Inc. (“FTAC”), completed its previously announced business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of April 29, 2021, by and among FTAC, Tempo Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company n/k/a Alight Holding Company, LLC (“Tempo”), Alight, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Alight”), Acrobat SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FTAC Merger Sub”), Acrobat Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tempo Merger Sub”), Acrobat Blocker 1 Corp., Acrobat Blocker 2 Corp., Acrobat Blocker 3 Corp. and Acrobat Blocker 4 Corp., each of which is a Delaware corporation (the “Blocker Merger Subs”), Tempo Blocker I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tempo Blocker 1”), Tempo Blocker II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tempo Blocker 2”), Blackstone Tempo Feeder Fund VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Tempo Blocker 3”), New Mountain Partners IV Special (AIV-E2), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Tempo Blocker 4” and, together with Tempo Blocker 1, Tempo Blocker 2, Tempo Blocker 3 and Tempo Blocker 4, the “Tempo Blockers”) and New Mountain Partners IV Special (AIV-E), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, (i) FTAC Merger Sub merged with and into FTAC, with FTAC being the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming a subsidiary of Alight (the “FTAC Merger”) and being renamed Alight Group, Inc. (in such capacity, the “FTAC Surviving Corporation”), (ii) Tempo Merger Sub merged with and into Tempo, with Tempo being the surviving company in the merger (the “Tempo Merger”), becoming a subsidiary of Alight and being renamed Alight Holding Company, LLC (in such capacity, “Alight Holdings”) and (iii) each of the Blocker Merger Subs merged with and into the correspondingly numbered Tempo Blocker, with the applicable Tempo Blocker being the surviving entity in such mergers (in such capacity, the “Alight Blockers”). As a result of the Business Combination, and by virtue of such series of mergers and related transactions, the combined company is now organized in an “Up-C” structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of Alight are held by Alight Holdings, of which Alight is the managing member pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alight Holdings (the “Alight Holdings Operating Agreement”) that went into effect upon the completion of the Business Combination (as described below).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in FTAC’s definitive proxy statement and Alight’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) in connection with the Business Combination on June 4, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

Alight Capital Structure

As a result of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Alight (the “Alight Charter”), Alight’s capital stock is now comprised of: (i) Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Alight Class A common stock”), which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), (ii) Class B-1 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Alight Class B-1 common stock”), (iii) Class B-2 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Alight Class B-2 common stock”), (iv) Class B-3 common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, no shares of which are issued or outstanding, (v) Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Alight Class V Common Stock”), which are issued to holders of Class A Units of Alight Holdings (“Class A Units”) and provide voting rights in Alight and (vi) and preferred stock, which may be issued in from time to time by the board of directors of Alight (the “Alight Board”). The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of Alight’s capital stock are described in more detail in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below) under the sections titled “Description of the Company’s Securities” and “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights”.


Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the FTAC Merger (the “FTAC Effective Time”), the 119,298,699 shares of FTAC’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding (after giving effect to redemptions and the closing of the transactions contemplated by FTAC’s forward purchase agreements) and 23,287,500 shares of FTAC’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding (after giving effect to certain forfeitures thereof) were automatically converted into shares of Alight Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (or an aggregate of 142,586,199 shares of Alight Class A common stock). In addition, at the FTAC Effective Time, each FTAC warrant that was outstanding immediately prior to the FTAC Effective Time, each of which entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of FTAC Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share (each, an “FTAC Warrant”) was, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Assumption Agreement (each as defined below), automatically and irrevocably modified and exchanged for a warrant to purchase the same number of share(s) of Alight Class A common stock on the same terms and otherwise pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable in the Business Combination to the holders of units of Tempo and the holders of equity interests in the Tempo Blockers was: (i) approximately $1.016 billion in cash, (ii) a number of shares of Alight Class A Common Stock and Class A Units of Alight Holdings (together with an equal number of shares of Alight Class V common stock) in the aggregate equal to 226,663,750, (iii) a number of shares of Alight Class B-1 common stock and Class B-1 Units of Alight Holdings (“Class B-1 Units”) in the aggregate equal to 7,500,000 and (iv) a number of shares of Alight Class B-2 common stock and Class B-2 Units of Alight Holdings (“Class B-2 Units”) in the aggregate equal to 7,500,000, which consideration was allocated among such holders pursuant to the allocation schedule provided by Tempo pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

The description of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and related transactions in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement has been included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about FTAC, Alight, Tempo or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement or any related agreement or transaction.

 

Item 1.01.

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

Warrant Assumption Agreement

In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Alight entered into a Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2021, by and among FTAC, Alight and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Continental”, and such agreement, the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”). Pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, at the effective time of the FTAC Merger (the “FTAC Effective Time”), FTAC assigned to Alight, and Alight assumed, all of FTAC’s rights and obligations under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020, by and between FTAC and Continental, as warrant agent (as so assigned and assumed, the “Warrant Agreement”), including the obligation to issue shares of Alight Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of any warrants pursuant thereto.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Assumption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Warrant Assumption Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.13 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and in connection with the Tempo Merger, the existing amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Tempo was amended and restated in its entirety to become the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Alight Holding Company, LLC.


Pursuant to the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement, the limited liability company interests of Alight Holdings (the “Alight Holdings Units”) were recapitalized to generally mirror the shares of capital stock of Alight as follows:

Rights of the Class A Units

The Class A Units of Alight Holdings are entitled to share in the profits and losses of Alight Holdings. Any distributions, as and if declared by Alight, will be made pro rata among the holders of Class A Units (other than any unvested Class A Units). The Class A Units have no voting rights and are exchangeable for shares of Alight Class A common stock as described below.

Rights of the Class B Units

The Class B Units of Alight Holdings are not entitled to share in any profits or losses of Alight Holdings and have no voting rights or rights to distributions. The Class B-1 Units and Class B-2 Units will vest and automatically convert into and be exchanged for Class A Units (together with the payment of a dividend catch-up payment as described below) upon the satisfaction of vesting conditions tied to the stock price of the Alight Class A Common Stock (or in connection with a change of control or liquidation of Alight that implies such a stock price). If any of the Class B Units do not vest on or before the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, such units will be automatically forfeited and cancelled for no consideration, and will not be entitled to receive any Dividend Catch-Up Payments.

Rights of the Class C Units

The Class C Units of Alight Holdings (the “Class C Units”) are not entitled to share in any profits or losses of Alight Holdings and have no voting rights or rights to distributions (other than tax distributions). The holders of Class C Units will have the right to cause Alight Holdings to exchange all or a portion of their Class C Units for cash or shares of Alight Class A common stock as described below.

Rights of the Class Z Units

The Class Z Units of Alight Holdings, which are separated into three subclasses of units (Class Z-A Units, Class Z-B-1 Units and Class Z-B-2 Units) and function solely as tracking units with respect to a portion of the consideration paid in connection with the Business Combination to certain members of Alight management in respect of their unvested Tempo equity awards in order to allow the re-allocation of such consideration to certain other pre-Closing equityholders of Tempo and the Tempo Blockers to the extent the unvested management equity is forfeited, are initially unvested and are not entitled to share in any profits or losses of Alight Holdings and do not have any voting rights or rights to distributions. In the event that any Alight Class A common stock or Alight Class B-1 or Alight B-2 common stock is forfeited by management under the terms of the applicable award agreement, an equivalent portion of the unvested shares of Alight Class Z-A common stock and Class Z-A Units, in the aggregate, or Alight Class Z-B-1 or Alight Class Z-B-2 common stock and Class Z-B-1 or Class Z-B-2 Units, in the aggregate, will vest, with such vested portion being allocated among the holders of Alight Class Z common stock and Class Z Units based on the allocation principles under the Business Combination Agreement.

Proportionality of Interests

The Alight Holdings Operating Agreement contains provisions which require that a one-to-one ratio is maintained between each class of Alight Holdings Units held by Alight and its subsidiaries (including the FTAC Surviving Corporation and the Alight Blockers, but excluding subsidiaries of Alight Holdings) and the number of outstanding shares of the corresponding class of Alight common stock, subject to certain exceptions (including in respect of management equity in the form of options, rights or other securities which have not been converted into or exercised for Alight common stock). In addition, the Alight Holdings Operating 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, recapitalizations and exercises of the exchange rights of holders of Alight Holdings Units.


Alight, as the managing member of Alight Holdings, has the authority to create new equity interests in Alight Holdings and establish the rights and privileges of such interests.

Management

Alight was appointed and admitted as the managing member of Alight Holdings upon the effective time of the Tempo Merger (the “Tempo Effective Time”). Alight, as the managing member of Alight Holdings, has the sole authority to manage Alight Holdings in accordance with the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement and applicable law. No other member of Alight Holdings has the right to participate in or have any control over the business of Alight Holdings, and except for certain limited consent rights set forth in the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement, no member other than Alight (in its capacity as the managing member) has any right to vote on any matter involving Alight Holdings. The managing member solely manages the business, property and affairs of Alight Holdings, and the managing member cannot be removed or replaced except by the incumbent managing member.

Distributions

The Alight Holdings Operating Agreement permits distributions at such time and on such terms as determined by Alight in its capacity as managing member. Any such distributions must be made on a pro rata basis only to holders of Class A Units (other than the any unvested Class A Units), except that holders of Class C Units may receive tax distributions (as described below) and holders of Class B Units are entitled to receive a “Distribution Catch-Up Payment” from Alight Holdings upon the conversion of such Class B Units into Class A Units (as described above), in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of any distributions (other than tax distributions) that have been paid to holders of Class A Units during the period from the Tempo Effective Time through the date prior to the date on which the Class B Units were converted into Class A Units.

As described under “Rights of Class Z Units” in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—The Alight Holdings Operating Agreement”, holders of Class Z Units will only be entitled to receive certain payments due upon a “Class Z-A Vesting Event,” a “Class Z-B-1 Vesting Event” or a “Class Z-B-2 Vesting Event” (each as defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus), when and if payable thereunder. The Alight Holdings Operating Agreement also provides for pro rata quarterly tax distributions with respect to Class A Units, based upon an agreed-upon formula that, in general, calculates the amount of pro rata tax distributions that would be necessary to enable the holder allocated the highest proportionate amount of taxable income of Alight Holdings to pay its income taxes in respect of such allocated income. The formula is subject to certain customary assumptions and adjustments, including, among other things, using an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined United States federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual (or, if greater, a corporation) resident in New York, New York at the time of such distribution, disregarding certain unitholder-specific tax basis adjustments, and assuming that all available foreign tax credits and research and development credits will be utilized. Tax distributions may also be paid to holders of Class C Units, except that they shall be paid only once annually and shall generally be limited to the taxable income allocated to such holders multiplied by such assumed tax rate. Payments of tax distributions are subject to there being available cash, and will be treated as an advance against, and will reduce and offset, other distributions or payments made with respect to the applicable Units.

Liquidation

Upon the liquidation or winding up of Alight Holdings, all net proceeds thereof (after satisfying any debts and liabilities of Alight Holdings as well as any tax distribution payments or Dividend Catch-Up Payments or other payments due to certain holders of Alight Holdings Units pursuant to the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement) will be distributed 100% on a pro rata basis solely among the Class A Units (other than any unvested Class A Units). For purposes of any such liquidating distribution, the Class A Units will include any Class A Units issuable in respect of any Class B Units or Class Z Units which have automatically converted into Class A Units upon a Class B Vesting Event or Class Z-A Vesting Event, as applicable, and Class C Units.


Transfer Restrictions

The Alight Holdings Operating Agreement contains restrictions on transfers of Alight Holdings Units and will require the prior consent of the managing member for such transfers, except, in each case, for (i) certain transfers to permitted transferees under certain conditions and (ii) transfers by a holder of Class C Units as permitted pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

Exchange of Class A Units for Alight Class A Common Stock

Holders of Class A Units will each, up to once per calendar quarter (and in the case of the Blackstone Investors (as defined below)), twice per calendar quarter in the aggregate), be able to exchange all or any portion of their Class A Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Alight Class V common stock, for a number of shares of Alight Class A common stock equal to the number of exchanged Class A Units by delivering a written notice to Alight Holdings and Alight. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Alight will be permitted, at its sole discretion, in lieu of delivering shares of Alight Class A common stock for any Class A Units surrendered for exchange, to pay an amount in cash per Class A Unit equal to the 5-day dollar volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Alight Class A common stock ending on the day such measurement is made.

For each Class A Unit exchanged, one share of Alight Class V common stock will be canceled and one share of Alight Class A common stock will be issued to the exchanging member. The exchange ratio will be adjusted for any subdivision (split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Class A Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of Alight Class A common stock or by any such subdivision or combination of Alight Class A common stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of Alight Class A Units to the extent necessary to maintain the economic equivalency in the value surrendered for exchange and the value received. If the Alight Class A common stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, on any subsequent exchange an exchanging member will be entitled to receive such security, securities or other property.

Restrictions on Class A Exchanges

The Alight Board is permitted to limit the rights of holders of Class A Units to exchange their Class A Units under the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement if Alight determines in good faith that such restrictions are necessary so that Alight Holdings will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws and regulations.

Exchange of Class C Units

Holders of Class C Units will, from and after the expiration of the lock-up period applicable to Trasimene Capital FT, LP and Bilcar FT, LP (the “Sponsors”) under the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2021, by and among Alight, FTAC, Tempo, the Sponsors and certain other parties thereto (the “Sponsor Agreement”) until the expiration date applicable to the “Private Placement Warrants” under the Warrant Agreement, be entitled to exchange all or any portion of their Class C Units (except for any fraction of a Class C Unit) for either an amount in cash or a number of shares of Alight Class A common stock, as determined by Alight in accordance with the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement. In the event Alight elects to settle all or a portion of a Class C Unit exchange in cash, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of a Class C Unit would be equal to (i) the Sponsors Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), less (ii) the strike price applicable to the “Private Placement Warrants” under the Warrant Agreement (as may be adjusted pursuant to the Warrant Agreement), less (iii) the aggregate amount of tax distributions received in respect of a Class C Unit immediately prior to such exchange (such amount, the “Class C Cash Amount”). In the event Alight elects to settle the Class C Unit exchange in shares of Alight Class A common stock, the number of shares of Alight Class A common stock to be issued in respect of a Class C Unit would be equal to a number of shares of Alight Class A common stock (valued at the Sponsors Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement)) having a value equal to the Class C Cash Amount.


Expenses

Alight Holdings will reimburse all of Alight’s expenses in connection with its ownership and management of Alight Holdings and its business (other than certain expenses, such as income taxes and payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below)).

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Alight entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), with FTAC, Tempo and certain of the former direct and indirect equityholders of Tempo, including the former equityholders of the Tempo Blockers (such equityholders, together, the “TRA Parties”) and Blackstone Capital Partners VII NQ L.P., as the representative of the TRA Parties (the “TRA Party Representative”).

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by Alight to such TRA Parties of 85% of the benefits, if any, that Alight is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) Alight’s direct and indirect allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Business Combination, (ii) increases in Alight’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 Alight Class A common stock after the Business Combination and (iii) Alight’s utilization of certain tax attributes of the Tempo Blockers (including the Tempo Blockers allocable share of existing tax basis), and of 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 Alight would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although 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 Alight 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 Alight 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 Alight Class A common stock, the applicable tax rate, the price of shares of Alight Class A common stock at the time of exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of Alight’s income, Alight expects 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 Alight’s possible utilization of tax attributes, including existing tax basis acquired at the time of the Business Combination, the payments that Alight may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement may 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 Alight Holdings or Alight. To the extent payments are due to the TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the payments are generally required to be made within 10 business days after the tax benefit schedule (which sets forth Alight’s realized tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement for the relevant taxable year) is finalized. Alight is required to deliver such a tax benefit schedule to the TRA Parties’ representative, for its review, within 90 calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of Alight’s federal corporate income tax return for the relevant taxable year.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Tax Receivable Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, on July 2, 2021, Alight entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Sponsors, Cannae Holdings, LLC (“Cannae”) and THL FTAC LLC (collectively with the Sponsors and Cannae, and together with their affiliated transferees, the “Sponsor


Investors”), each of the funds and investment vehicles affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc. that holds equity interests in Alight or Alight Holdings following the completion of the Business Combination (collectively and together with their affiliated transferees, the “Blackstone Investors”), New Mountain Partners IV (AIV-E) L.P. and New Mountain Partners IV (AIV-E2) L.P. (collectively, the “New Mountain Investors”), Jasmine Ventures Pte. Ltd. and Platinum Falcon B 2018 RSC Limited (collectively with the Blackstone Investors and the New Mountain Investors, and together with each of their respective affiliated transferees, the “Existing Investors”).

Designation Rights

Following the Closing Date, for so long as the Sponsor Investors beneficially own at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding number of shares of capital stock of Alight entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to the Alight Board (“Voting Securities”) held by the Sponsor Investors on the Closing Date, (i) the Sponsor Investors (through the applicable Sponsor designator under the Investor Rights Agreement) will have the right to designate three directors and Cannae (or, if Cannae is no longer party to the Investor Rights Agreement, the applicable designator for the Sponsor Investors at such time) will have the right, jointly with the Blackstone Investors, to designate one director. If the Sponsor Investors hold less than 50% of the Voting Securities held by the Sponsor Investors on the Closing Date, they will have the right to designate (1) if they collectively beneficially own at least 7.5% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, three directors, (2) if they collectively beneficially own at least 6.25% (but less than 7.5%) of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, two directors; and (3) if the Sponsor Investors collectively beneficially own at least 2.5% (but less than 6.25%) of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, one director. In addition, Cannae (or, if Cannae is no longer party to the Investor Rights Agreement, the applicable designator for the Sponsor Investors at such time) will have the right, jointly with the Blackstone Investors, to designate one director, and to consent to any individual nominated for election to the Alight Board seat initially occupied by the chief executive officer of Alight, for so long as the Sponsor Investors collectively beneficially own at least 7.5% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities.

Additionally, following the Closing Date, for so long as the Blackstone Investors beneficially own at least 50% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities held by the Blackstone Investors on the Closing Date, the Blackstone Investors will have the right to designate three directors and the right to jointly with Cannae designate one director. If the Blackstone Investors collectively beneficially own less than 50% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities held by the Blackstone Investors on the Closing Date, the Blackstone Investors will have the right to designate (1) if the Blackstone Investors beneficially own at least 7.5% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, three directors, (2) if the Blackstone Investors beneficially own at least 6.25% (but less than 7.5%) of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, then two directors and (3) if the Blackstone Investors beneficially own at least 2.5% (but less than 6.25%) of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, then the Blackstone Investors are entitled to appoint one director. In addition, for so long as the Blackstone Investors beneficially own at least 7.5% of the aggregate outstanding Voting Securities, then the Blackstone Investors will remain entitled, jointly with Cannae (or the replacement Sponsor Investor designator), to designate one director and to consent to any individual nominated for election to the Alight Board seat initially occupied by the chief executive officer of Alight.

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, any director that has been designated by the Blackstone Investors or the Sponsor Investors may only be removed with the consent of such investor, and the Blackstone Investors and Sponsor Investors (or, if applicable, the joint designator) will be entitled to appoint replacement designees in the event a vacancy is created with respect to one of their designees.

Alight has agreed to include the applicable designees in its slate of nominees for election at any stockholder meetings and to use reasonable best efforts to cause each designee to be elected. Each of the Sponsor Investors and the Existing Investors agreed with Alight that it would vote in favor of the Alight Board’s slate of nominees.

Lock-Up Period; Vesting and Transfer Restrictions

The Existing Investors have agreed not to transfer any securities of Alight or Alight Holdings (other than any securities purchased on the open market following the Closing Date) for a period of beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (A) 180 days thereafter or (B) if the VWAP of the Company Class A common stock equals or exceeds


$12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a consecutive 30 trading day period, 60 days thereafter. During the lock-up period, the Existing Investors will be permitted to sell up to 30 million shares of Alight Class A common stock, in the aggregate, subject to certain coordination requirements among the Existing Investors.

The parties to the Investor Rights Agreement have also agreed to certain forfeiture and vesting terms in respect of their Alight common stock that are consistent with the vesting and forfeiture provisions in the Alight Charter and the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement.

In the event that the lock-up provisions in the Sponsor Agreement are waived in a manner that is favorable to the Sponsor Investors or the lock-up in the Investor Rights Agreement is waived with respect to any of the Existing Investors, the Investor Rights Agreement provides that the lock-up provisions applicable to the Existing Investors or Sponsor Investors, as applicable, will automatically be waived on a pro rata basis. In addition, if any of the forfeiture or vesting provisions with respect to the Alight Class B common stock in the Sponsor Agreement or the Alight Charter (or the equivalent provisions regarding forfeiture or vesting of the Class B Units of Alight Holdings in the Alight Holdings Operating Agreement) are modified in a manner that is favorable to the Sponsor Investors then the corresponding modifications will automatically apply to the transfer restrictions and vesting provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Alight entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of July 2, 2021, with the Sponsor Investors, the Blackstone Investors and the other Existing Investors (collectively, the “RRA Parties”).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Alight is required, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date, to file a registration statement to permit the public resale of all “Registrable Securities” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by the RRA Parties from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, upon the demand of any such RRA Party, Alight will be required to facilitate a non-shelf registered offering of shares of Class A common stock requested by such RRA Party to be included in such offering. Any demanded non-shelf registered offering may, at Alight’s option, include shares of Class A common stock to be sold by Alight for its own account and will also include registrable shares to be sold by holders that exercise their related piggyback rights in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. Within 90 days after receipt of a demand for such registration, Alight will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement relating to such demand. In certain circumstances, the RRA Parties will be entitled to piggyback registration rights in connection with the demand of a non-shelf registered offering.

In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement will entitle the RRA Parties to demand and be included in a shelf registration when Alight is eligible to sell its shares of Class A common stock in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that Alight will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.01.

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On the Closing Date, the Audit Committee of the Alight Board approved the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as Alight’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit Alight’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. EY served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Tempo prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the independent registered public accounting firm of FTAC, was informed on the Closing Date that it would be replaced by EY as Alight’s independent registered public accounting firm following its completion of FTAC’s review of the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company, FTAC.

The reports of Withum on FTAC’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from March 26, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the “Financial Statements”) did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the period from March 26, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of Withum’s dismissal, there were no “disagreements” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between FTAC and Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Withum would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on FTAC’s financial statements for such periods.

During the period from March 26, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of Withum’s dismissal, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

During the period from March 26, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of Withum’s dismissal, FTAC and Alight did not consult with EY regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the financial statements of FTAC or Alight, and no written report or oral advice was provided that EY concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).

Alight has provided Withum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Withum furnish Alight with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by Alight set forth above. A copy of Withum’s letter, dated July 9, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Effective upon the Closing, Alight assumed and adopted the Alight, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and reserved 92,267,687 shares of Alight Class A common stock for issuance thereunder, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan, which was approved by FTAC stockholders at the special meeting of FTAC stockholders held on June 30, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”) and became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination, provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the Incentive Plan will automatically be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year in an amount equal to the least of (x) 26,922,562 shares of Alight Class A common stock, (y) 5.0% of the total number of shares of Alight Class A common stock and shares of Alight Class V common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (z) a lower number of shares of Alight Class A common stock as determined by the Alight Board.

A more complete summary of the terms of the Incentive Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Proposal No. 5—The Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal.” That summary and the foregoing description do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Incentive Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.7 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The compensatory plans, contracts and arrangements to which Alight’s named executive officers are a party or in which Alight’s named executive officers participate or may participate are set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Executive Compensation of Alight,” which is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Business Combination, Alight implemented changes to certain components of its annual cash incentive program for fiscal year 2021 and amended the terms of certain outstanding equity awards (which awards, following the completion of the Business Combination, relate to shares of Alight common stock). Alight also anticipates granting time-vesting and performance-vesting restricted stock units of Alight to certain employees (including Alight’s named executive officers) and service providers in fiscal year 2021, which actions are described and set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Executive Compensation of Alight—Actions Taken in Connection with the Business Combination.”


Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective upon the Closing, Alight assumed and adopted the Alight, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was previously approved by FTAC stockholders at the Special Meeting and became effective upon the closing of the Business Combination. Effective upon the Closing, an aggregate of 13,461,281 shares of Alight Class A common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the plan. The ESPP provides that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the plan will automatically be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning with the 2022 fiscal year in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 1.0% of the total number of shares of Alight Class A common stock and shares of Alight Class V common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (y) a lower number of shares of Alight common stock as determined by the Alight Board; provided that the maximum total number of shares of Alight Class A common stock that may be issued under the ESPP is 62,000,000 shares.

A more complete summary of the terms of the ESPP is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Proposal No. 6—The Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal.” That summary and the foregoing description of the ESPP do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the ESPP, which is attached as Exhibit 10.8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
