Previous wording

Because our Manager is owned by certain of our directors and executive officers, the Management Services Agreement was developed by related parties, although our independent directors reviewed and approved the Management Services Agreement. The terms of the Management Services Agreement, including fees payable, may not reflect the terms we may have received if it was negotiated with an unrelated third party. In addition, particularly as a result of our relationship with the principal owners of the Manager, who are certain directors and members of our management team, our independent directors may determine that it is in the best interests of our shareholders not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the Management Services Agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our Manager.

Current wording

Because our Manager is owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Mr. Foley, and in the past was also owned by certain of our directors and executive officers, the Management Services Agreement was developed by related parties, although our independent directors reviewed and approved the Management Services Agreement. The terms of the Management Services Agreement, including fees payable, may not reflect the terms we may have received if it was negotiated with an unrelated third party. In addition, particularly as a result of our relationship with the present and past principal owners of the Manager, who are or were certain directors and members of our management team, our independent directors may determine that it is in the best interests of our shareholders not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the Management Services Agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our Manager.

Previous wording

Our executive officers, directors and Manager may allocate some of their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

A failure in the integrity of D&B's data or the systems upon which it relies could harm its brand and result in a loss of sales and an increase in legal claims.

Current wording

A failure in the integrity of D&B's data, models, or the systems upon which it relies could harm its brand and result in a loss of sales and an increase in legal claims.

Previous wording

The reliability of D&B's solutions is dependent upon the integrity of the data in its global databases. D&B utilizes single source providers in certain countries to support the needs of its clients globally and relies on members of its world-wide network to provide local data in certain countries. A failure in the integrity of D&B's databases, or an inability to ensure that its usage of data is consistent with any terms or restrictions on such use, whether inadvertently or through the actions of a third party, could harm D&B by exposing it to client or third-party claims or by causing a loss of client confidence in its solutions. For example, D&B licenses data from third parties for inclusion in the data solutions that it sells to its clients, and while D&B has guidelines and quality control requirements in place, it does not have absolute control over such third parties’ data collection and compliance practices. D&B may experience an increase in risks to the integrity of its databases as it acquires content through the acquisition of companies with existing databases that may not be of the same quality or integrity as D&B's existing databases.

Current wording

The reliability of D&B's solutions is dependent upon the integrity of the data in its global datastores as well as its models, including scores and other analytics. D&B utilizes single source providers in certain countries to support the needs of its clients globally and relies on members of its world-wide network to provide local data in certain countries. A failure in the integrity of D&B's datastores, or an inability to ensure that its usage of data is consistent with any terms or restrictions on such use, whether inadvertently or through the actions of a third party, could harm D&B by exposing it to client or third-party claims or by causing a loss of client confidence in its solutions.

Previous wording

D&B's solutions depend extensively upon continued access to and receipt of data from external sources, including data received from clients, strategic partners and various government and public records repositories. In some cases, D&B competes with its data providers. D&B's data providers could stop providing data, restrict the scope of data to which they have access, provide untimely data or increase the costs for their data for a variety of reasons, including changing regulatory requirements, judicial decisions, a perception that its systems are unsecure as a result of data security incidents, budgetary constraints, a desire to generate additional revenue or for regulatory or competitive reasons. European regulators and the European Commission have adopted prescriptive measures for assessing and demonstrating that all cross-border data transfers comply with the Court of Justice of the European Union ruling in Case 311/18 Data Protection Commission v Facebook Ireland and Maximillian Schrems (Schrems II), and China adopted its own restrictions on cross-border data transfers under its new DSL and PIPL data compliance laws. Additional supplemental measures in China requiring prior authorization for certain data transfers as well as regulatory enforcement decisions and opinions were adopted in 2022. As a result of these developments and related regulatory decisions, D&B has become and may become subject to further increased restrictions or mandates on the collection, disclosure or use or transfer of such data, in particular if such data is not collected by D&B's providers in a way that allows it to legally use the data or cannot be transferred out of the country where it has been collected. D&B may not be successful in maintaining its relationships with these external data source providers or be able to continue to obtain data from them on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, D&B may not be able to obtain data from alternative sources if its current sources become unavailable. If D&B were to lose access to this external data or if its access or use were restricted or were to become less economical or desirable, D&B's ability to provide solutions could be negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, due to data transfer restrictions, existing and prospective D&B clients may be reluctant to acquire or use data that is subject to these restrictions, which may impede D&B's growth.

Additional supplemental measures in China requiring prior authorization for certain data transfers as well as regulatory enforcement decisions and opinions have been adopted pursuant to these laws. In 2024, the U.S. adopted its own version of data export controls under Executive Order 14117 and associated regulation promulgated thereunder as well as the Protecting Americans' Data from Foreign Adversaries Act. Other countries have adopted or may adopt similar measures restricting or placing additional regulatory burdens on cross-border data transfers.

Previous wording

These laws and regulations, which generally are designed to protect information relating to individuals and small businesses, the data rights of individuals, and to prevent the unauthorized collection, access to and use of personal or confidential information available in the marketplace and prohibit certain deceptive and unfair acts, are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Further, new laws and regulations are likely to be enacted and existing laws and regulations may change or be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible they will be interpreted and applied in ways that will materially and adversely affect D&B's business. New and amended data protection, privacy, credit, data security, artificial intelligence and ESG legislation that may impact Dun & Bradstreet has also been proposed both in the U.S. and internationally. D&B already incurs significant expenses in their effort to ensure compliance with these laws and those expenses may increase as new laws or regulations are enacted or the interpretation and application of existing laws and regulations change.

D&B responded to a second civil investigative demand from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") that they received in September 2019 in relation to an investigation by the FTC into potential violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act, primarily concerning our credit managing and monitoring products, such as CreditBuilder. Following consent negotiations, on September 21, 2021, D&B agreed to enter into an Agreement Containing Consent Order (the "FTC Consent Order") subject to acceptance by the FTC, the approval of which was finalized on April 6, 2023. The FTC Consent Order requires that D&B undertake specific compliance practices, recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting during its term, which ends on April 6, 2042. D&B's compliance with the FTC Consent Order may cause them to incur significant expenses or to reduce the availability or effectiveness of their solutions. Failure to comply with the FTC Consent Order could subject D&B to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.

Previous wording

On March 17, 2023, D&B was served by the FTC with an Order under Section 6(b) of the FTC Act (the "6(b) Order"), which authorizes the FTC to conduct wide-ranging studies that do not have a specific law enforcement purpose, in connection with the FTC’s inquiry into the small business credit reporting industry. Similar Orders were served on other companies in the credit reporting industry. Certain requirements of the 6(b) Order relate to subject matter similar to the scope of the FTC Consent Order. The FTC’s 6(b) inquiry is expected to examine various aspects of the collection, processing, and quality of information concerning small businesses for purposes of business credit reports and other business risk solutions, as well as the marketing and commercial practices related to such solutions, and various related matters. It is too early to determine what action, if any, the FTC may take with respect to its findings from its inquiry. It is possible that the FTC’s findings could result in FTC rule making or other action that may impact D&B's business.

Alight's competitors may have greater resources, larger customer bases, greater name recognition, stronger presence in certain geographies and more established relationships with their customers and suppliers than it has. In addition, new competitors, alliances among competitors or mergers of competitors could result in Alight's competitors gaining significant market share and some of Alight's 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 Alight offers or develops. Large and well-capitalized competitors may be able to respond to the need for technological changes (including the implementation of AI and Machine Learning ("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 Alight does. If Alight is unable to compete successfully, it could lose market share and clients to competitors, which could materially adversely affect its results of operations. To respond to increased competition and pricing pressure, Alight may have to lower the cost of its solutions or decrease the level of service provided to clients, which could have an adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

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

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

Previous wording

In addition to 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 Alight's continued operational changes and development into new jurisdictions and new service offerings also increases Alight's legal and regulatory compliance complexity as well as the type of governmental oversight to which it may be subject. These changes in laws and regulations could mandate significant and costly changes to the way Alight implements its services and solutions or could impose additional licensure requirements or costs to Alight's operations and services, or limit its ability to mitigate risk. Furthermore, as Alight enters new jurisdictions or lines of businesses and other developments in its services, Alight may become subject to additional types of laws and policies and governmental oversight and supervision. In all jurisdictions, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by regulatory authorities. In addition, new regulatory or industry developments could create an increase in competition that could adversely affect Alight. These potential developments include:

Current wording

Alight's employees, consultants or agents may still take actions in violation of its policies for which it may be ultimately responsible, or its 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 Alight's business activities until they are satisfactorily remediated and could result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines that could damage its reputation and have a materially adverse effect on its results of operation or financial condition. In addition to 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 Alight's continued operational changes and development into new jurisdictions and new service offerings also increases Alight's legal and regulatory compliance complexity as well as the type of governmental oversight to which it may be subject.

Previous wording

A quickly evolving social, legal and regulatory environment may cause Alight 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. Alight is increasingly building AI and ML into many of its offerings. As with many cutting-edge innovations, AI and ML present new risks and challenges, and existing laws and regulations may apply to Alight 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 Alight's business. Alight incorporates AI and ML into its 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 Alight's solutions and subject it to reputational harm, regulatory action, or legal liability, which may harm its 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, customers, or customers’ employees who are dissatisfied with Alight's 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.

Additionally, we expect that interested directors will abstain from decisions with respect to conflicts of interest as a matter of practice. In 2023, our Board ratified the related person transaction committee and a related person transaction policy that governs all transactions with directors (and director nominees), executive officers, immediate family members of directors and executive officers, shareholders that own greater than 5% of any class of the Company's voting securities, our Manager, and generally any entity in which a director or officer of the Company controls. All transactions or series of transactions exceeding $120,000 with such persons or entities must be reviewed and approved by the related person transaction committee. The related person transaction committee consists of two independent directors and if a member of such committee is involved in a transaction under review, they are required to recuse themself from the review under our related person transaction policy. However, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective, that we will be able to resolve all potential conflicts or that the resolution of any such conflicts will be no less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third party.
