Alight, Inc. / Delaware 8-K

What Happened Alight, Inc. filed an 8‑K (Item 5.02) reporting that Interim Chief Financial Officer Gregory Giometti informed the company on February 25, 2026 that he will leave Alight to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Giometti agreed to continue serving as Interim CFO until May 8, 2026 (or earlier if a permanent CFO is appointed) to assist with the transition while the company continues its external search for a new Chief Financial Officer. The company expects to announce a new CFO in the coming weeks.

Key Details

• Departure notice given: February 25, 2026; interim service through May 8, 2026 (or earlier upon appointment).
• Retention payment: Mr. Giometti may keep a $190,000 retention bonus paid in 2025 that he would otherwise have had to repay if he left before June 30, 2026.
• Search status: Company is in a well‑advanced search for an external permanent CFO and expects an announcement soon.
• No dispute: Mr. Giometti’s departure was not due to any disagreement with the company over accounting or financial reporting.

Why It Matters A CFO transition affects company leadership over financial reporting, budgeting and investor communications. Investors should note the planned, orderly handover with an interim CFO remaining during the search, the retention payment arrangement, and the company’s statement that the departure is not related to accounting or financial-reporting disputes. Watch for the forthcoming announcement of a permanent CFO, which could influence investor confidence and perceptions of financial stability.
