Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On August 12, 2021, Alight, Inc. (the “Company”) disclosed certain supplemental information set forth below to certain prospective lenders in a lender presentation dated August 12, 2021 in connection with the commencement of marketing of a $450 million add-on to its existing Term Loan B due 2026 (the “Add-on Transaction”). In addition, Company is looking to amend and extend its existing revolving credit facility into a new 5-year revolving credit facility.
The Company recently signed a definitive agreement to acquire Aon Retiree Health Exchange, with a closing expected during the fourth quarter of 2021 (the “Acquisition”). Aon Retiree Health Exchange is a Medicare brokerage business that provides additional scale, expertise and capabilities in Medicare enrollment. The Acquisition is expected to expand the Company’s ability to serve employees from their hiring to retirement and is expected to contribute approximately $40 million to the Company’s EBITDA (as defined below). The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Add-on Transaction to fund the Acquisition and add cash to its balance sheet to invest in organic growth opportunities and additional bolt-on merger and acquisition transactions. The Add-on Transaction is expected to have the same issuer as the existing Term Loan B (Tempo Acquisition LLC), as well as the same guarantors, security, maturity (October 31, 2026), mandatory amortization (1% per annum) and financial and other covenants, though certain modifications to non-financial covenants remain subject to ongoing discussion. No call protection will apply to the Add-on Transaction. The Add-on Transaction is expected to price and allocate on August 18 with closing and settlement to occur thereafter, subject to market conditions.
