Letter to Stockholders

April 22, 2025

DEAR FELLOW ALIGHT STOCKHOLDERS,

Thank you for your support of Alight. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, we invite you to attend Alight’s 2025 annual meeting of

stockholders, scheduled to be held on June 4, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time in a virtual meeting format, via a live webcast. The

accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement describe the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting.

Also included are a proxy card and postage-paid return envelope.

By any measure, 2024 was a pivotal year for the company.

We completed our strategic repositioning and are pleased to report that we executed on several initiatives that have collectively reset Alight’s

foundation, placing us on a path toward sustainable growth and enhanced stockholder value. Achievements included the completion of our

cloud migration, the strategic divestiture of our Payroll and Professional Services business, and the evolution of our leadership structure.

Together, these steps have simplified our business model and strengthened our position as a technology-enabled employee benefits services

company, and we can now look ahead with renewed vigor and a clear focus on core strengths.

We closed the year with solid results that demonstrated increasing operational momentum, highlighted by sequential recurring revenue

improvement, robust cash flow, strong bookings and billions of dollars in revenue already placed under contract over the next several years.

We also substantially reduced our debt during the year, strengthening our balance sheet and overall financial flexibility.

In addition, the growing strength of our business and cash flow profile enabled us to initiate a quarterly cash dividend program and increase our

share repurchase authorization, highlighting our commitment to returning capital to stockholders as a key element of our capital allocation

philosophy.

As part of our ongoing commitment to governance excellence and reflecting the new chapter for Alight, we have recently refreshed our Board of

Directors. I’d like to share my deep appreciation for our prior Board members who played a critical role guiding Alight through its early evolution

as a public company. In their place, industry veterans Russ Fradin, Rob Schriesheim, Bob Lopes and Mike Hayes will provide a fresh

perspective coupled with their strong leadership skills and client-centric perspectives that align with our strategic direction. Russ serves as our

new chairperson, while we continue to benefit from Bill Foley’s invaluable presence on our Board. These individuals complement our new

executive leadership team and will help propel Alight toward our next phase of growth.

What gives us the greatest confidence is our recent strong execution with bookings growth and stronger renewals, both grounded in delivering

innovative solutions and service excellence. We are committed to continuing this momentum and further enhancing Alight’s value proposition

for both clients and stockholders.

Looking ahead, we expect that 2025 will be a year marked by steady progress and strong execution while navigating the evolving global and

geopolitical environment, as we position the company for sustainable, profitable growth.

I am deeply honored to be leading this great company, and on behalf of everyone at Alight, express our sincere appreciation for your ongoing

interest and support.

Sincerely,

David D. Guilmette, Director, Vice Chair and Chief Executive Officer
