Exhibit 99.1

Alight Completes Sale of Payroll and Professional Services Business

Company to post webcast on July 18th to accompany pro forma disclosures

Chicago, Ill. – July 12, 2024 – Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT or the “Company”), a leading cloud-based human capital technology and services provider, today announced that it has closed the previously announced sale of its Professional Services segment and its Payroll & HCM Outsourcing businesses within the Employer Solutions segment (the “Payroll & Professional Services business”) to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital. The sale of the Payroll & Professional Services business, which will operate as an independent business and has been renamed Strada, includes a transaction value of up to $1.2 billion, in the form of upfront gross proceeds of $1 billion in cash and up to $200 million in seller notes, of which $150 million is contingent upon Strada reaching certain 2025 financial targets, which are substantially in line with current performance levels.

 

As previously discussed, the Company anticipates using the majority of its initial net proceeds to reduce its debt, resulting in a pro forma net leverage ratio of below three times. The remaining proceeds and future cash flow generation are expected to be used for share repurchases and for general corporate purposes.

 

“Today’s announcement represents a strategic milestone that will accelerate Alight’s transformation toward a simplified and focused platform company for employee wellbeing and benefits,” said Chief Executive Officer Stephan Scholl. “I am pleased with the tremendous collaboration across both organizations in accomplishing this pivotal transaction and commencing our strategic partnership with substantial momentum while preserving our client value proposition. Together, we will continue to keep our clients front and center, delivering improved cost, experience and productivity outcomes for organizations and their valued employees.”

 

“Culminating in today’s announcement, Alight is now embarking on its next chapter as a simplified company with even greater agility and a renewed focus on its sophisticated proprietary technology,” said Chair of the Board William P. Foley, II. “This strategic transaction unlocks great potential for a streamlined Alight to drive sustainable, profitable growth and shareholder value over the long-term.”

Webcast Details

 

Alight expects to disclose its historic pro forma results for the continuing business four days after the completion of the transaction.

 

In conjunction with the disclosure, Alight will post a webcast to the Events and Presentations section of the Company’s Investor Relations website at 8:30 a.m. (ET) on July 18, 2024, during which management will review supplemental materials regarding the close of the transaction.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the sale of our Payroll and Professional Services business to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital (including the achievement of our financial objectives), support plans, opportunities, anticipated future performance and statements regarding our use of proceeds and expected stock buyback programs. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties including, among others, risks related to declines in economic activity in the industries, markets, and regions our clients serve, including as a result of elevated interest rates or changes in monetary and fiscal policies, competition in our industry, risks related to the performance of our information technology systems and networks, risks related to our ability to maintain the security and privacy of confidential and proprietary information, risks related to actions or proposals from activist stockholders, risks related to the ability to meet the contingent payment conditions of the seller note, and risks related to changes in regulation, including developments on the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Additional factors that could cause Alight’s results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found under the section entitled “Risk Factors” of Alight’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 29, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in Alight's filings with the SEC, which are, or will be, accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be considered along with other factors noted in this presentation and in Alight’s filings with the SEC.

financial measure should be considered only as supplemental to, and not superior to, financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP.

 

Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures, including our anticipated Net Leverage Ratio following the completion of the transaction.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Description of the Disposition and Basis of Presentation

The Disposition

On July 12, 2024, Alight completed the Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. 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 $50.0 million and fair value of $35.4 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 $150.0 million (the “Additional Seller Note”) and fair value of $66 million as of July 12, 2024 to be issued by the Note Issuer.

At the end of the first quarter of 2024, the Company determined that the criteria for held-for-sale as prescribed in ASC 360 and discontinued operations as prescribed by ASC 205 were met, constituting a significant disposition. The Company presented the Divested Business in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as held-for-sale as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

The Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024, is presented herein in accordance with Rule 11-02(c)(1) of Regulation S-X. The respective periods of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are presented herein in accordance with Rule 11-02(c)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-X.

While the historical consolidated financial statements reflect the company’s past financial results, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are included solely for informational purposes and are intended to illustrate how the Transaction might have affected the historical consolidated financial statements had it been completed earlier, as indicated herein:

•

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024, as adjusted, gives effect to the Disposition Adjustments and Other Transaction Adjustments as if they had occurred or become effective March 31, 2024;

•

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the six months ended December 31, 2021 (Successor), and the six months ended June 30, 2021 (Predecessor), as adjusted, give effect to the Disposition Adjustments and Other Transaction Adjustments as if they had occurred or become effective on January 1, 2021. Other Transaction Adjustments are only presented within the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements Disposition Adjustments column combines balances of the Divested Business of Alight’s Professional Services segment and Alight’s Payroll & HCM Outsourcing business within the Employer Solutions segment to illustrate the separation and transfer of the operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s historical financial results in accordance with ASC 205 and ASC 360 to the Buyer for each respective period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not project Alight’s future consolidated financial statements, nor are they intended to represent or indicate the actual consolidated financial statements that the Company would have had if the Transaction had occurred on the indicated dates. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings, synergies, or dis-synergies resulting from the Transaction, and they do not encompass all actions that the Company may undertake subsequent to the closing of the Transaction.

Note 2 – Pro Forma Adjustments

Adjustments included in the Pro Forma Adjustments column in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

a)

Disposition Adjustments: The Disposition Adjustments columns of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the Pro Forma Adjustments to historical financial results directly attributable to the Transaction in accordance with ASC 205. This reflects the separation of the discontinued operations, including the elimination of associated assets, liabilities, equity, and income (loss) attributable to the Transaction, that were included in the Company’s historical financial statements. In accordance with ASC 205, the amounts exclude general corporate overhead costs that were historically allocated to the Divested Business and do not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations. Such allocations included labor and non-labor expenses related to the Divested Business’s corporate support functions (e.g., finance, accounting, tax, treasury, information technology, human resources, and legal, among others). As the Company determined that the criteria for discontinued operations as prescribed by ASC 205 were met as of March 31, 2024, the adjustments directly attributable to the Transaction are reflected within the Historical Alight unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

 

b)

Reflects the fair value of total consideration received from the closing of the Transaction of $1.1 billion, which represents (a) $1.0 billion cash, after customary closing adjustments under the terms of the Purchase Agreement for estimated closing date net working capital, and acquired cash and indebtedness, (b) the $35.4 million Seller Note at fair value, and (c) $66.0 million Additional Seller Note, at fair value. The Seller Note has a stated interest rate of 8.0% and is recorded in Other assets at its fair value of $35.4 million. The Additional Seller Note is contingent upon the financial performance of the Divested Business in 2025 based on Adjusted EBITDA and is recorded in Other assets at its fair value of $66.0 million.

The adjustment to Cash and cash equivalents represents the pro forma impact on net cash proceeds received as of March 31, 2024. The final sales price is subject to change based on adjustments to transaction costs and post-closing adjustments as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Thus, the final net cash proceeds will be determined subsequent to the closing of the Transaction and may differ from the adjustment mentioned herein:

 

$ in millions			Amount
Pro forma Disposition Adjustments:
Fair value of total consideration received		$	1,101
Less fair value of Seller Note			(35)
Less fair value of Additional Seller Note			(66)
Total cash proceeds from the Transaction			1,000
Estimated transaction, TSA, and closing costs			(47)
Net cash proceeds pro forma transaction accounting adjustment to Cash and cash equivalents		$	953

c)

This adjustment that represents the estimated gain at the closing of the Transaction before accounting for actual taxes, fees, and other adjustments related to the Divested Business is comprised as follows:

 

$ in millions			Amount
Pro forma Disposition Adjustments:
Fair value of total consideration received from the Transaction		$	1,101
Net assets of the Divested Business			(1,026)
Estimated transaction, TSA, and closing costs			(47)
Estimated gain on sale		$	28

 

For purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, the estimated pro forma gain on disposal is recognized in Stockholders’ Equity based on the historical net carrying value as of March 31, 2024, of the Divested Business rather than as of the closing date of the Transaction. The final gain on disposition will be calculated based on the final fair value of consideration received, carrying value of the Divested Business at the closing date, and the finalization of the Company’s current fiscal year tax provision. As a result, the pro forma gain reflected herein may materially differ from the actual gain on the Transaction recorded as of the closing date.

The estimated pro forma gain on disposal has not been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as this amount pertains to discontinued operations and does not have a continuing impact on the Company’s consolidated results.

d)

The adjustment of $47.0 million represents the estimated net transaction and closing costs subsequent to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as well as a $15.0 million credit for certain post-closing services to be provided in accordance with the TSA agreement.

 

e)

In conjunction with the Transaction, the company has entered into a TSA with the Buyer. The TSA outlines the terms under which the Company will provide certain post-closing services on a transitional basis. The significant components related to fixed services are anticipated to be provided for an initial period of up to 18 months, with the option to extend for an additional six months. The financial statements reflect a pro forma adjustment resulting in a reduction of $22.3 million and $5.6 million to Cost of services, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, representing fixed fees, exclusive of variable amounts, for the year ended December 31, 2023, and three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

f)

In conjunction with the Transaction, the Company entered into a commercial agreement at market rate to provide customer care services to the Buyer that would have generated an estimated $36.2 million and $8.6 million in Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, and three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

 

g)

Adjustment reflects the estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the Divested Business that will reverse in the Transaction. The tax impact of the gain-on-sale Transaction is still being analyzed and has not been finalized; as such, the deferred tax and payable adjustments may differ from the results reflected herein.

 

h)

The adjustment reflects the tax effects of the transaction accounting pro forma adjustments at the expected applicable statutory income tax rates in the respective jurisdictions and the expected tax effects on the gain on disposition. An assumed blended tax rate of 22.9% and 24.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and three months ended March 31, 2024 is used in calculating the adjustment. Income tax adjustments are anticipated to be settled within twelve months of the close of the Transaction. The estimated income tax adjustments are subject to change, and actual amounts may differ from the results reflected herein.
