Fixed Compensation

  • The 2025 proxy does not disclose Allison Bassiouni’s base salary or target bonus; Alight’s executive annual cash incentive (VCP) is tied predominantly to company revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, with individual modifiers, and a payout range of 0–200% of target .
  • Clawback: Executives are subject to a clawback for incentive compensation overpaid due to financial restatements, aligned with SEC and NYSE rules .

Performance Compensation

  • Long-term incentives (LTI) for executives are split 50% performance-vested RSUs (PRSUs) and 50% time-vested RSUs, with PRSUs measured on cumulative revenue and Adjusted EBITDA over three years (0–200% payout) and RSUs vesting in three equal annual installments .
  • In 2024, special PRSUs for select NEOs used annual revenue and EBITDA margin expansion (50/50 weighting) with a Russell 2000 relative TSR modifier (+/–25%); 2024 earned shares were 116.17% of target after rTSR .

Employment Terms

  • The proxy does not disclose Allison-specific employment or severance terms. Company practice for executive officers includes severance if terminated without cause or for good reason, and change-in-control provisions with double-trigger accelerated vesting: RSUs fully accelerate and PRSUs are deemed achieved at 100% of target if an executive is terminated without cause or for good reason within six months prior to, or 18 months following, a change-in-control (illustrated for named executive officers in 2025 and prior proxies) .
  • Clawback and securities trading policies apply to all executive officers as noted above .

Performance & Track Record

  • Investor Day remarks (Mar 20, 2025) highlight Bassiouni’s delivery leadership: focus on delivery excellence, elevating customer care, and innovating with AI and automation to reduce manual processes and improve speed and accuracy, supporting operational efficiency and margin improvement .
  • Integrated client management and delivery strategy with repurposed experienced account executives and tight collaboration to improve retention and renewals underscores execution priorities in 2025 .

Investment Implications

  • Alignment: Form 3 shows meaningful direct and indirect holdings and future RSU vesting; company ownership guidelines and prohibitions on hedging/pledging strengthen alignment with shareholders .
  • Incentive levers: Company-wide incentives emphasize revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin expansion, and rTSR—consistent with delivery-led efficiency initiatives Bassiouni is driving .
  • Supply dynamics: Multi-year RSU vesting and potential conversion of Class B Units before July 2, 2028 could create periodic insider supply; hedging/pledging restrictions mitigate leverage-related selling risk .
  • Disclosure gap: Lack of Allison-specific salary/bonus/severance terms in the proxy reduces precision in pay-for-performance benchmarking; however, executive program design suggests strong linkage to financial outcomes and shareholder returns .
