Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 2, 2023, Unity Software Inc. (“Unity” or the “Company”) announced the reduction of approximately 600 employee roles, or 8% of its workforce as it restructures specific teams in order to continue to position itself for long-term and profitable growth.
Unity estimates that it will incur approximately $26 million in charges in connection with the restructuring, which are substantially all cash expenditures and which will be substantially incurred in the second quarter of 2023. These charges primarily relate to employee transition, severance payments, and employee benefits.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements related to the approximate percentage of the Company’s workforce affected by, the estimated restructuring charges associated with, and the time frame for completion of and recognition of charges associated with its restructuring actions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management as of the date they are made. However, investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because they speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and its present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not necessarily limited to, those described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
