ALIGHT DEADLINE: ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Alight, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important May 15 Deadline in Securities Class Action – ALIT

NEW YORK, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT) between November 12, 2024 and February 18, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 15, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Alight common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Alight class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=54542 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than May 15, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose facts concerning the true state of Alight’s growth potential and financial stability; notably, that Alight was not truly equipped to execute on its claimed potential and could not maintain its promised dividend as a result. Rather, Alight would require significantly higher compensation and incentive expenses to achieve the projections put forth by management. Throughout the class period, defendants announced disappointing results, reduced projections, and multiple goodwill impairments all while remaining confident in their ability to execute, drive growth, and continue to provide a dividend to their shareholders. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

AirX Deploys Challenger 604 to Disrupt the Super-Mid Segment

LONDON, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AirX, Europe’s second-largest private jet charter operator, has introduced its first Bombardier Challenger 604, 9H-ATGT, as part of a broader strategy to scale its fleet and strengthen its position across multiple cabin segments.

Rather than adding capacity in the traditional sense, the Challenger 604 is being deployed to introduce long-range capability into the super-mid market, enabling AirX to apply more efficient unit economics across adjacent categories.

The aircraft marks the first step in what founder John Matthews describes as the company’s “dash to 50” aircraft, supporting continued fleet expansion and operational scale.

Recently refurbished and repainted in April 2026, 9H-ATGT enters service in factory-fresh condition, featuring a wide stand-up cabin ideally suited to 8–10 passengers, an upgraded Airshow system and dual 18-inch monitors.

“The Challenger 604 allows us to extend range into a smaller cabin category while maintaining discipline around how the asset is operated,” said Matthews. “Each aircraft has a defined role, and that role is economic. This is about applying pricing pressure across multiple segments, not operating within just one.”

The introduction of the aircraft is supported by the successful completion of a €115 million secured bond raise, strengthening AirX’s capital position as it continues to scale.

“At a unit level, the focus is simple. Minimise expenditure, maximise EBITDA per aircraft, and convert that into real cash,” Matthews added.

AirX operates a diversified fleet spanning large VIP airliners through to smaller cabin aircraft, enabling it to serve a wide range of charter requirements while maintaining a consistent operating model.

The company continues to prioritise a broker-first approach, working closely with its global partner network and focusing on transparent, transaction-driven charter operations.

About AirX

AirX is a European private jet charter operator founded in 2011, operating a fleet of 20 aircraft across heavy jets and VIP airliners. The company employs over 450 professionals and serves global charter requirements through a broker-first, multi-segment operating model.
