Q. | Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet? | ||||
A. | Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent most stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, including at any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. All stockholders who received a Notice will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. We provided some of our stockholders, including stockholders who have previously requested to receive paper copies of the proxy materials, with paper copies of the proxy materials instead of the Notice. If you received paper copies of the proxy materials, we encourage you to help us save money and reduce the environmental impact of delivering paper proxy materials to stockholders by signing up to receive all of your future proxy materials electronically. We intend to mail the Notice on or about April 21, 2025 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. |

Q. | How do I vote? (Continued) | ||||
A. | Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank If on April 15, 2025 your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You must follow the instructions provided by your brokerage firm, bank, or other similar organization for your bank, broker or other stockholder of record to vote your shares per your instructions. Alternatively, many brokers and banks provide the means to grant proxies or otherwise instruct them to vote your shares by telephone and via the internet, including by providing you with a 16-digit control number via email or on your Notice or your voting instruction form. If your shares are held in an account with a broker, bank or other stockholder of record providing such a service, you may instruct them to vote your shares by telephone (by calling the number provided in the proxy materials) or over the internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other stockholder of record. If you did not receive a 16-digit control number via email or on your Notice or voting instruction form, and you wish to vote prior to or at the virtual Annual Meeting, you must follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other stockholder of record, including any requirement to obtain a valid legal proxy. Many brokers, banks and other stockholders of record allow a beneficial owner to obtain a valid legal proxy either online or by mail, and we recommend that you contact your broker, bank or other stockholder of record to do so. We are holding the Annual Meeting online and providing online voting to provide expanded access and to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your voting instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies. |

![]() | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
Q. | What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting? | ||||
A. | The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. This discretionary authority is granted by the execution of the form of proxy. |
Q. | How many votes do I have? | ||||
A. | On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of April 15, 2025. |
Q. | If I am a stockholder of record and I do not vote, or if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, what happens? | ||||
A. | If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, by telephone, through the internet or online at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted. If you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted, as applicable, “For” the election of all four nominees for director, “For” the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee of the Board of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, and “For” the advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules. If any other matter is properly presented at the meeting, your proxyholder (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his or her best judgment. This discretionary authority is granted by the execution of the form of proxy. |
Q. | If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and I do not provide my broker or bank with voting instructions, what happens? | ||||
A. | If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other agent may still be able to vote your shares in its discretion. In this regard, under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries that are subject to NYSE rules may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. In this regard, Proposals 1 and 3 are considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules meaning that your broker may not vote your shares on those proposals in the absence of your voting instructions. However, Proposal 2 is considered to be a “routine” matter under NYSE rules meaning that if you do not return voting instructions to your broker by its deadline, your shares may be voted by your broker in its discretion on Proposal 2. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent. |

Q. | Who is paying for this proxy solicitation? | ||||
A. | We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by email, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. |
Q. | What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice? | ||||
A. | If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on the Notices to ensure that all of your shares are voted. |
Q. | Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy? | ||||
A. | Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways: •You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date. •You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet. •You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Unity Software Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary at 116 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Such notice will be considered timely if it is received at the indicated address by the close of business on the business day one week preceding the date of the Annual Meeting. •You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote online. Simply attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy is the one that is counted. Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank If your shares are held by your broker, bank as a nominee or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent. |

![]() | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
Q. | When are stockholder proposals and director nominations due for next year’s annual meeting? | ||||
A. | With respect to proposals to be included in next year’s proxy materials, your proposal must be submitted in writing by December 22, 2025 to Unity Software Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 116 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 and comply with all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). With respect to proposals (including director nominations) not to be included in next year’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, our amended and restated bylaws provide that your proposal must be submitted in writing between February 11, 2026 and March 13, 2026 to Unity Software Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 116 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94105 and comply with the requirements in our amended and restated bylaws, provided, however, that if our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before May 12, 2026 or after July 11, 2026, then the proposal must be received by us no earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and no later than the later of (i) 90 days prior to the date of such meeting or (ii) if later than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. You are advised to review our amended and restated bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals, including director nominations. |
Q. | How are votes counted? | ||||
A. | Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count, for the proposal to elect directors, votes “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes; with respect to the proposal to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, votes “For,” “Against” and abstentions; and with respect to the proposal regarding our named executive officer compensation, votes “For,” “Against,” abstentions and broker non-votes. A withhold vote will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1. Abstentions will have the same effect as “Against” votes for Proposal 2 and Proposal 3. Broker non-votes on Proposals 1 and 3 will have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total. Proposal 2 is considered a “routine” matter, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank, or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on Proposal 2. |
9 à Unity Software à 2025 Proxy Statement |
![]() | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
Q. | What are “broker non-votes”? | ||||
A. | As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to his or her broker, bank or other securities intermediary holding his or her shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules, the broker, bank or other such agent cannot vote the shares. These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Proposals 1 and 3 are considered to be “non-routine” under NYSE rules and we therefore expect broker non-votes to exist in connection with those proposals. Proposal 2 is a “routine” matter and therefore broker non-votes are not expected to exist in connection with this proposal. As a reminder, if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent. |
Q. | How many votes are needed to approve each proposal? | ||||
A. | Proposal 1: For the election of directors, the four Class II nominees receiving the most “For” votes will be elected. “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes will have no effect. Only votes “For” will affect the outcome. Proposal 2: To ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, the proposal must receive “For” votes from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present by remote communication at the meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you “Abstain” from voting, it will have the same effect as an “Against” vote. This proposal is considered to be a “routine” matter. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank, or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. Proposal 3: Advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers will be considered to be approved if it receives “For” votes from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present by remote communication at the meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. If you mark your proxy to “Abstain” from voting, it will have the same effect as an “Against” vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. |

![]() | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS |
Q. | What is the quorum requirement? | ||||
A. | A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote are present by remote communication at the meeting or represented by proxy. On the record date, there were 415,515,941 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of 207,757,971 shares must be present by remote communication at the meeting or represented by proxy at the meeting to have a quorum. Abstentions, withhold votes and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, either the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present by remote communication at the meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to another date. |
Q. | How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting? | ||||
A. | Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K that we expect to file within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file a Form 8‑K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results. |

What We Do | Our executive bonuses are dependent on meeting corporate objectives. •Our annual performance-based bonus opportunities for all of our Named Executive Officers are dependent upon achievement of annual corporate objectives established each year. For 2024, our bonus targets were based on revenue from our strategic portfolio and an Adjusted EBITDA “gate” which required achievement of an Adjusted EBITDA target as a necessary condition for bonus payout regardless of revenue performance. For definitions of the annual bonus performance measures for 2024, please see “—2024 Executive Compensation Program—Performance and Non-Plan Bonuses (at-risk cash)” below. | ||
We emphasize long-term equity incentives. •Equity awards are an integral part of our executive compensation program, and comprise the primary “at-risk” portion of our Named Executive Officer compensation packages. •In 2024 we granted equity awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options. In the first quarter of 2025, we used performance stock units (“PSUs”) rather than stock options for the executive refresh awards to further enhance long-term performance and stockholder value creation. | |||
We consider market data based on our peer group when determining compensation. •Our HCCC has retained an independent third-party consultant for guidance in making compensation decisions. | |||
Our executive officers and directors are subject to stock ownership guidelines. •Our executive officers and directors are subject to stock ownership guidelines, ensuring long-term alignment with our stockholders. The guidelines require executives and directors to hold Unity shares representing a meaningful multiple of salary or retainer, as applicable. |
What We Don’t Do | We generally do not provide executive fringe benefits or perquisites to our executives. | ||
We do not permit the hedging or pledging of Unity stock. •Our insider trading policy, applicable to all of our directors, employees, contractors and those who share their households prohibits the hedging and pledging of our stock. | |||
We do not provide guaranteed minimum performance bonuses. |

PSU Goals | PSUs will serve as the primary performance-based equity vehicle, ensuring that a larger portion of executive compensation is tied to the delivery of key growth and profitability goals. •These awards also incorporate back-weighted 3-year cliff vesting, further emphasizing a focus on sustained, long-term performance. •The use of Adjusted EBITDA Less Stock-Based Compensation Expense Margin as a metric for the 2025 PSUs directly ties executive compensation to the goal of limiting stock-based compensation expense. | ||
Concurrently with the introduction of PSUs we discontinued the use of stock options for refresh grants, which supports our focus on lowering dilution and aligns with the market practice of our peer companies. •The HCCC continues to believe that it is appropriate for the majority of compensation for our executive officers to consist of equity incentive awards, as such awards promote retention and ensure the interests of our executives remain closely aligned with those of our stockholders. |
