EXPLANATORY NOTE

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) of Unity Software Inc. (the “Registrant”) provides that the total number of shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan (the “Reserve”) will automatically increase on January 1st of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year (the “Automatic Increase”); provided, however, that the Registrant’s Board of Directors the “Board”) may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock. The Board previously delegated authority to administer the 2020 Plan to the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) and prior to January 1, 2024, the Committee approved an increase of 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which is less than would have been added to the Reserve pursuant to the Automatic Increase. Accordingly, on January 1, 2024, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 2020 Plan increased by an additional 11,000,000 shares (or approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2023).

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Registrant’s 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”) provides that the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 ESPP will automatically increase on January 1st of each year for a period of up to ten years, commencing on January 1, 2021 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (ii) 10,576,183 shares of Common Stock; provided that prior to the date of any such increase, the Board may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in clauses (i) and (ii). Accordingly, on January 1, 2024, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 2020 ESPP increased by an additional 3,849,055 shares (or 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of December 31, 2023).

The Registrant previously registered shares of its Common Stock for issuance under the 2020 Plan and the 2020 ESPP on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-248882) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 18, 2020 and subsequent Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-253935, 333-262905 and 333-270057) filed with the SEC on March 5, 2021. February 22, 2022 and February 27, 2023, respectively (together, the “Prior Forms S-8”).

This Registration Statement relates to securities of the same class as that to which the Prior Forms S-8 relate and is submitted in accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8.
