Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. (“FTAC”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 26, 2020. FTAC was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On July 2, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), FTAC completed the business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Alight Holding Company, LLC (f/k/a Tempo Holding Company, LLC) (“Alight Holdings” or the “Predecessor”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as amended and restated as of April 29, 2021) between FTAC, Alight Holdings and other interested parties (the “Business Combination Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, FTAC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Alight, Inc. (“Alight”, “the Company”, “we” “us” “our” or the “Successor”) and was renamed Alight Group, Inc. 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 that went into effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. As of March 31, 2022, Alight owns approximately 86% of the economic interest in Alight Holdings, but has 100% of the voting power and controls the management of Alight Holdings. As of March 31, 2022, the non-voting ownership percentage held by noncontrolling interest was approximately 14% (see Note 9 "Stockholders' and Members' Equity" for additional information).

Basis of Presentation

As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, the Company is the acquirer and Alight Holdings is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. While the Closing Date was July 2, 2021, we determined that as the impact of one day would be immaterial to the results of operations, we utilized July 1, 2021 as the date of the Business Combination for accounting purposes. Therefore, the financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of Alight Holdings as Predecessor for the periods prior to July 1, 2021 and the Company as Successor for the periods including and after July 1, 2021, including the consolidation of Alight Holdings.
