EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is being filed by Alight, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") for the purpose of registering an additional 65,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Registrant issuable under the Alight, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Original Registration Statement are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II thereof are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
