Alight, Inc. / Delaware 8-K

What Happened Alight, Inc. announced on February 19, 2026 (via a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1) its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. On the same date the company said it will replace its cash dividend on Class A common stock (par value $0.0001) with more “efficient capital allocation activities,” prioritizing deleveraging the balance sheet and, subject to market and other conditions, share repurchases.

Key Details

• Date filed: February 19, 2026; reporting period: Q4 and FY ended December 31, 2025.
• Dividend change: company will discontinue its cash dividend on Class A common stock and reallocate capital toward debt reduction and potential stock repurchases.
• Announcement format: results and the dividend policy change published in a press release (Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K).
• Forward-looking caution: statements about deleveraging and buybacks are subject to market conditions and risks described in Alight’s SEC filings.

Why It Matters Stopping the cash dividend shifts how Alight returns cash to shareholders and signals a focus on strengthening the balance sheet and potentially boosting shareholder value via buybacks. For investors, this means no immediate dividend income from Alight’s Class A shares going forward; outcomes like reduced leverage or share repurchases could affect earnings-per-share, valuation, and risk profile but are not guaranteed and depend on future decisions and market conditions.
