NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 2, 2021, the Company consummated the Alight Business Combination. See further discussion in Note 1. In conjunction with the consummation of the Alight Business Combination, the Company disbursed all investments held in the Trust Account which funded, in part, the Alight Business Combination and paid the Deferred Underwriting Fee.

Immediately prior to the Alight Business Combination, pursuant to the FPAs, Cannae purchased from FTAC, and FTAC issued to Cannae, 15,000,000 shares of FTAC Class A Common Stock and 5,000,000 FTAC Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000 and THL purchased from FTAC, and FTAC issued to THL, 15,000,000 shares of FTAC Class A Common Stock and 5,000,000 FTAC Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000. Such proceeds formed a portion of the consideration used for the completion of the Alight Business Combination.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the closing of the Alight Business Combination, Alight entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of July 2, 2021, with the Sponsor Investors, the Blackstone Investors and the other Existing Investors (collectively, the “RRA Parties”).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Alight is required, as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days after the Closing Date, to file a registration statement to permit the public resale of all “Registrable Securities” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by the RRA Parties from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act. In addition, upon the demand of any such RRA Party, Alight will be required to facilitate a non-shelf registered offering of shares of Class A common stock requested by such RRA Party to be included in such offering. Any demanded non-shelf registered offering may, at Alight’s option, include shares of Class A common stock to be sold by Alight for its own account and will also include registrable shares to be sold by holders that exercise their related piggyback rights in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. Within 90 days after receipt of a demand for such registration, Alight will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement relating to such demand. In certain circumstances, the RRA Parties will be entitled to piggyback registration rights in connection with the demand of a non-shelf registered offering.

In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement will entitle the RRA Parties to demand and be included in a shelf registration when Alight is eligible to sell its shares of Class A common stock in a secondary offering on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that Alight will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against (or make contributions in respect of) certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act.

Warrant Assumption Agreement

In connection with the completion of the Alight Business Combination, FTAC entered into a Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2021, by and among FTAC, Alight and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Continental”, and such agreement, the “Warrant Assumption Agreement”). Pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement, at the effective time of the FTAC Merger (the “FTAC Effective Time”), FTAC assigned to Alight, and Alight assumed, all of FTAC’s rights and obligations under the Warrant Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020, by and between FTAC and Continental, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), including the obligation to issue shares of Alight Class A Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the completion of the Alight Business Combination, Alight entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), with FTAC, Tempo and certain of the former direct and indirect equityholders of Tempo, including the former equityholders of the Tempo Blockers (such equityholders, together, the “TRA Parties”) and Blackstone Capital Partners VII NQ L.P., as the representative of the TRA Parties (the “TRA Party Representative”).

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides for the payment by Alight to such TRA Parties of 85% of the benefits, if any, that Alight is deemed to realize (calculated using certain assumptions) as a result of (i) Alight’s direct and indirect allocable share of existing tax basis acquired in the Alight Business Combination, (ii) increases in Alight’s allocable share of existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments that will increase the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Alight Holdings as a result of the Business Combination and as a result of sales or exchanges of Alight Holdings Units for shares of Alight Class A common stock after the Business Combination and (iii) Alight’s utilization of certain tax attributes of the Tempo Blockers (including the Tempo Blockers allocable share of existing tax basis), and of certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These increases in existing tax basis and tax basis adjustments generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and, therefore, may reduce the amount of tax that Alight would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the IRS may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge. Actual tax benefits realized by Alight may differ from tax benefits calculated under the Tax Receivable Agreement as a result of the use of certain assumptions in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the use of an assumed weighted-average state and local income tax rate to calculate tax benefits. The payment obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement is an obligation of Alight and not of Alight Holdings. While the amount of existing tax basis, the anticipated tax basis adjustments and the actual amount and utilization of tax attributes, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges of Alight Holdings Units for shares of Alight Class A common stock, the applicable tax rate, the price of shares of Alight Class A common stock at the time of exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of Alight’s income, Alight expects that as a result of the size of the transfers and increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Alight Holdings and Alight’s possible utilization of tax attributes, including existing tax basis acquired at the time of the Business Combination, the payments that Alight may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be substantial. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned on the exchanging holders of Alight Holdings Units or other TRA Parties continuing to hold ownership interests in Alight Holdings or Alight. To the extent payments are due to the TRA Parties under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the payments are generally required to be made within 10 business days after the tax benefit schedule (which sets forth Alight’s realized tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement for the relevant taxable year) is finalized. Alight is required to deliver such a tax benefit schedule to the TRA Parties’ representative, for its review, within 90 calendar days after the due date (including extensions) of Alight’s federal corporate income tax return for the relevant taxable year.
