Appointment of Kausik Rajgopal to the Board of Directors

 

On March 14, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Alight, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Kausik Rajgopal to the Board, effective as of March 17, 2023. Mr. Rajgopal will serve as a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting and is expected to be nominated for reelection at the annual meeting. Mr. Rajgopal has not been named to any committees of the Board at this time.

 

The Board determined that Mr. Rajgopal is an independent director in accordance with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards and the Company’s independence guidelines, as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

Mr. Rajgopal will participate in the compensation program for independent directors as described under “Corporate Governance - Compensation of Directors” in Alight’s 2022 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, which was filed with the SEC on April 14, 2022.

 

Mr. Rajgopal has no family relationship with any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Mr. Rajgopal’s appointment was in accordance with the recent amendment to the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2021 (as amended, the “Investor Rights Agreement”), described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2023, that permitted the Company to increase the size of the Board from eight to ten members. As previously disclosed, as of the date of the amendment of the Investor Rights Agreement, Denise Williams was appointed as the ninth member of the Board. Ms. Williams was designated to the Board by the Blackstone Designator and the Sponsor Designator (as such terms are defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement and she serves as a Class I director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2025 annual meeting.

 

As a result of the appointment of both Mr. Rajgopal and Ms. Williams to the Board, there are no remaining Board vacancies and nine of the ten members of the Board have been determined to be independent directors in accordance with NYSE listing standards.

 

Alight’s press release announcing Mr. Rajgopal's appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
