Re: Offer of Employment by Unity Technologies SF
Dear Jarrod:
I am very pleased to confirm our offer to you of employment with Unity Technologies SF (the "Company"). You will report to Matthew Bromberg, Chief Executive Officer, in the position of Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. The terms of our offer and the benefits currently provided by the Company are as follows:
1.Starting Salary. This is an exempt position. Your starting base salary will be USD $43,750.00 per month (USD $525,000.00 on an annualized basis). Any salary will be paid out on a semi- monthly basis less all applicable taxes, withholdings, and deductions required by law.
2.Start Date. Your start date will be January 1, 2025 (“Start Date”).
3.Location and Travel. You will work from the Company’s New York City office and be expected to travel as appropriate.
4.Corporate Bonus. You are eligible to receive a discretionary corporate bonus targeted at 75% of your earned annual base salary during the previous fiscal year pursuant to the terms of the discretionary bonus letter that will be provided to you outside of this agreement and only to the extent determined appropriate by the Company in its sole discretion. In the event that you are hired on or after October 1st, you will not be eligible to participate in the bonus program for the current fiscal year; participation will begin as of January 1st of the next fiscal year. If you are hired before October 1st, any Target Bonus amounts will be prorated based on the number of days you are employed by the Company during that fiscal year. In order to be eligible to receive a discretionary corporate bonus, you must be employed by the Company on the date that corporate bonuses are paid. Any bonus amount will be paid out less all applicable taxes, withholdings, and deductions required by law.
5.Sign-On Bonus. The Company will provide you with a one--time discretionary sign--on bonus equivalent of $400,000.00, paid in two equal installments. The first payment of $200,000.00 will be made to you in the first payroll following your Start Date. The second payment of $200,000.00 will be made to you in the first payroll following the one-year anniversary of your Start Date. Both payments will be made less all applicable taxes, withholdings, and deductions as required by local law.
6.Benefits. Beginning on the Start Date, you will be eligible to participate in any benefits plans offered to the employees of the Company. A presentation of our benefits program will be given to you during your first month of employment. The Company may modify benefits policies from time to time, as it deems necessary.
7.Restricted Stock Units. You will be granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a value of USD $12,000,000.00 based on the average closing price of the stock for the sixty (60) days preceding your Start Date (“Initial Grant”). Settlement of the RSUs will be conditioned on the satisfaction of a single vesting requirement known as a “Time-Based Requirement.” For the Initial Grant, the Time-Based Requirement will be satisfied at the rate of 12.5% of the RSUs on the next quarterly installment date following your sixth full month of employment with the Company and an additional 6.25% on a quarterly basis thereafter, so long as you remain employed by the Company.
8.2025 Equity Awards. Assuming you remain continuously employed with the Company through the date that Company senior executive annual equity awards are approved in 2025, the
Company will recommend that the Board grant to you equity awards having a target value of not less than $4,000,000.00, of which such value shall be comprised of 75% Restricted Stock Units and 25% Performance Stock Units (the terms of which will be set in the first quarter of 2025).
9.Executive Severance Plan. You are eligible to participate in the Executive Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”), which will be provided to you separately. If you accept the terms of the Severance Plan, notwithstanding the vesting schedules listed in the Restricted Stock Units section above, you will be eligible for accelerated equity vesting under certain circumstances as set out in the Severance Plan.
10.Executive Clawback Policy. You agree you will be bound by the Unity Software Inc. Executive Clawback Policy, as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and you will sign an acknowledgment form confirming the same within thirty (30) days of your Start Date.
11.Confidentiality; Company Rules and Policies. As an employee of the Company, you will have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, you will need to sign the Company's standard "Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement," attached as Attachment 1, as a condition of your employment. During the period that you render services to the Company, you agree to not engage in any employment, business or activity that is in any way competitive with the business or proposed business of the Company. You will disclose to the Company in writing any other gainful employment, business or activity that you are currently associated with or participate in so the company may assess whether a conflict exists. You will not assist any other person or organization in competing with the Company or in preparing to engage in competition with the business or proposed business of the Company. You will also be required to abide by all Company rules and policies. Therefore you will be asked to acknowledge that you have read the employee handbook, Global Code of Conduct, and supplemental policies, which will be provided to you during your onboarding. In order to retain necessary flexibility in the administration of its policies and procedures, the Company reserves the right to change or revise its policies, procedures, and benefits at any time.
12.Global Privacy Notice to the Workforce. You confirm that you have read and understood Unity’s Data Privacy Policy attached as Attachment 2.
13.No Breach of Obligations to Prior Employers. We wish to impress upon you that we do not want you to, and we hereby direct you not to, bring with you any confidential or proprietary material of any former employer or to violate any other obligations you may have to any former employer. You represent that your signing of this offer letter, agreement(s) concerning restricted stock units or stock options granted to you, if any, under the Plan (as defined below) and the Company's Employee Nondisclosure and Assignment Agreement and your commencement of employment with the Company will not violate any agreement currently in place between yourself and current or past employers.
14.At Will Employment. While we look forward to a long relationship, should you decide to accept our offer, you will be an at-will employee of the Company, which means the employment relationship can be terminated by either of us for any reason, at any time, with or without prior notice and with or without cause. Any statements or representations to the contrary (and, indeed, any statements contradicting any provision in this letter) should be regarded by you as ineffective. Further, your participation in any stock plan or benefit program is not to be regarded as assuring you of continuing employment for any particular period of time. Any modification or change in your at will employment status may only occur by way of a written employment agreement signed by you and the Chief People Officer of the Company.
15.Authorization to Work. Please note that because of employer regulations adopted in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, within three (3) business days of starting your new
position you will need to present documentation demonstrating that you have authorization to work in the United States. If you have questions about this requirement, which applies to U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike, you may contact our personnel office.
16.Arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Company agree to submit to mandatory binding arbitration of any and all claims arising out of or related to your employment with the Company and the termination thereof, including claims by the Company, claims against the Company, and claims against any current or former parent, affiliate, subsidiary, or successor of the Company, and each of the Company’s and these entities’ respective officers, directors, agents or employees. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this includes, but is not limited to, tort claims, contract claims, statutory claims, and claims for unpaid wages or other forms of compensation, wrongful termination, retaliation, and/or discrimination (including harassment) based upon any federal, state or other ordinance, statute, regulation or constitutional provision, except that each party may, at its, his or her option, seek injunctive relief in court related to the improper use, disclosure or misappropriation of a party’s proprietary, confidential or trade secret information. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in San Francisco, California (or another mutually agreeable location). THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO SUCH CLAIMS. The parties further agree that any arbitrable claims shall be resolved on an individual basis, and you agree to waive your right, to the extent allowed by applicable law, to consolidate any arbitrable claims with the claims of any other person in a class or collective action. This Agreement does not restrict your right to file administrative claims you may bring before any government agency where, as a matter of law, the parties may not restrict the employee’s ability to file such claims (including, but not limited to, the National Labor Relations Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, disputes solely before government agencies, claims under applicable workers’ compensation law, and unemployment claims). However, the parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties and shall be the exclusive remedy for the subject matter of such administrative claims. Further, this Agreement does not apply to claims that have been expressly excluded from mandatory arbitration by a governing law not preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act, including but not limited to a sexual assault dispute and sexual harassment dispute as defined under applicable federal law. The arbitration shall be conducted through JAMS before a single neutral arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS employment arbitration rules then in effect. The Company agrees to pay the fees and costs of the arbitrator. The JAMS rules may be found and reviewed at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-employment-arbitration. If you are unable to access these rules, inform the Company’s Human Resources Department and a hardcopy will be provided to you. To initiate an arbitration, you or the Company must submit a demand for arbitration to JAMS and the Company will timely pay the JAMS initial invoice. As in any arbitration, the burden of proof shall be allocated as provided by applicable law. The arbitrator shall apply the applicable substantive law in deciding the claims at issue. Claims will be governed by their applicable statute of limitations and failure to demand arbitration within the prescribed time period shall bar the claims as provided by law. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator shall have the same authority as a court to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees (excluding the costs and fees of the arbitrator) as provided by law for the particular claims asserted. This arbitration clause shall be governed by and construed in all respects under the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act and the California Arbitration Act, including Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 1283.05.
17.Entire Agreement. This offer, once accepted, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior offers, negotiations and agreements, if any, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter. You acknowledge that neither the Company nor its agents have made any promise, representation or warranty whatsoever, either express or implied, written or oral, which is not contained in this agreement for the purpose of inducing you to execute the agreement, and you acknowledge that
you have executed this agreement in reliance only upon such promises, representations and warranties as are contained herein.
18.Severability. If any term of this letter is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms herein will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, and the parties will use their best efforts to find an alternative way to achieve the same result.
19.Governing Law. The terms of this letter and the resolution of any dispute as to the meaning, effect, performance or validity of this letter or arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with this letter, your employment with the Company or any other relationship between you and the Company (a “Dispute”) will be governed by the laws of the the state in which you primarily work for Unity as recorded in Unity’s systems, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws. To the extent not subject to arbitration as described in Section 10, you and the Company consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state courts in San Francisco County in the State of California (or in the event of exclusive federal jurisdiction, the courts of the Northern District of California in connection with any Dispute or any claim related to any Dispute).
20.Background Check. This offer is contingent upon the successful completion of background and reference checks.
21.Acceptance. This offer will remain open until November 5, 2024. If you decide to accept our offer, and I hope you will, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter in the space indicated and return it to me. Your signature will acknowledge that you have read and understood and agreed to the terms and conditions of this offer letter and the attached documents, if any. Should you have anything else that you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to call me.
We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you to the Company.

Q3 2024 | November 7, 2024 SHAREHOLDER LETTER
DEAR UNITY SHAREHOLDERS To Our Shareholders: It’s a privilege to address you once again on behalf of my colleagues around the world. We are at the beginning of a period of meaningful and productive change at Unity. The enthusiasm and excitement generated thus far, both inside and outside the Company, has been enormously encouraging. We saw real progress on our plan during the third quarter, and are looking forward to the transformational work ahead. Unity is the only company we know of that can deliver value to developers of games and interactive experiences across the entire lifecycle, from prototyping to live service operation right through user acquisition and monetization. That capability, and its connection to the 3B monthly downloads of applications created with Unity, positions us well to become the global platform of choice. As we continue to improve our ability to leverage data to provide measurable increases in stability, speed, efficiency, innovation, and ROI to our customers, we believe Unity will continue to prosper. Last quarter, we told you we’d focus on fostering a culture of execution and discipline, accelerating the pace of product innovation, and strengthening the bond with our customers and community. And that’s just what we did. The cancellation of the Runtime Fee for gaming customers, the reversion to a subscription-based model, and the introduction of price increases that customers could embrace has unblocked renewals and accelerated new relationships. Then we delivered Unity 6, the best performing, most stable version of Unity we’ve ever shipped, and outlined a new upgrade philosophy which is designed to enable customers to upgrade to new features without sacrificing stability. The combination of a new approach, new pricing, and new software has begun to change the decision calculus. When developers choose Unity, they’re potentially building a business on top of our platform for decades — and we’re dedicated to making that choice easier every day. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 2
We also told you that adding world class talent to the team was going to be critical. In October we announced the hiring of a new Chief Technology Officer, Steve Collins, who brings decades of experience in game development (he was CTO at King, the studio behind hits like Candy Crush); engines (he was the co- founder and CTO of Havok, the pioneering physics engine that helped define modern gaming); and marketing technology (he was the CTO of Swrve, a real- time marketing automation cloud for mobile apps). Today, we’re equally excited to announce that we’ve hired a new Chief Financial Officer, Jarrod Yahes, who begins full time with us on January 1. Jarrod joins Unity from Shutterstock, where he has served as CFO for the past five years, helping to drive the company’s portfolio expansion into 3D content, data monetization, and digital advertising while emphasizing revenue growth and profitability. Steve and Jarrod join a new management team that has the quality and depth of experience to carry us through the exciting work ahead. Finally, we talked last quarter about embarking on a fundamental rebuild of our machine learning stack and data infrastructure designed to enhance the return on investment we’re able to deliver to our advertising customers. We’re happy to report great progress on that work, which is already in testing on live data. We’re very encouraged by the early results we’re seeing. We believe that our new data platform will not only drive performance improvements in user acquisition and monetization, but also surface insights critical to game production and live service management, where understanding consumer behavior is core to being able to build and operate great games. These investments are core to our vision of a unified platform that can deliver for our customers across the full lifecycle of game development. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 3
THIRD QUARTER RESULTS Third quarter results exceeded our guidance for both revenue of our strategic portfolio and Adjusted EBITDA. Revenue from our strategic portfolio was $429 million, down 2% year-over-year, as compared to guidance of $415 to $420 million. Our net loss for the quarter was $125 million, as compared to net loss of $125 million in the third quarter of 2023 and net loss of $126 million in the second quarter of this year. Adjusted EBITDA for the total company for the quarter was $92 million, compared to guidance of $75 to $80 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the total company was $94 million in the same quarter last year (excluding customer credits of $37 million as described in our shareholder letter for the year ended December 31, 2023. Third quarter Create Solutions revenue from our strategic portfolio was $132 million, up 5% year-over-year, and up 2% quarter-over-quarter. The year-over- year increase was driven by a 12% growth in subscriptions revenue, as customers upgraded and renewed at increased prices.1 The quarter-over- quarter increase was also driven primarily by subscription growth. Grow Solutions revenue from our strategic portfolio in the third quarter was $298 million, down 5% year-over-year and up 1% quarter-over-quarter. Revenue for the total company for the third quarter was $447 million, down 18% year-over-year driven by decreases in Grow Solutions revenue and our portfolio reset. During the third quarter, revenue from our non-strategic portfolio was $17 million, down 84% year-over-year as a result of our portfolio reset. We expect revenue from our non-strategic portfolio in the fourth quarter to continue to decline compared to the third quarter. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 4 1 Create Solutions revenue for the total company and Grow Solutions revenue for the total company were $147 million and $299 million, respectively. Our subscriptions include revenue associated with support we provide our customers as part of their subscriptions and is inclusive of China.
PRODUCT FOCUS In September, after months of listening to customers, partners, and our community, we announced the cancellation of the Runtime Fee and a reversion to our existing seat-based subscription model for all gaming customers. We also introduced pricing changes, effective January 1, 2025, which will apply to all new and existing Unity Pro and Enterprise customers upon purchase, renewal, or upgrade. Since announcing these decisions, we’ve seen a positive trend in renewals and an increase in early adoption of Unity 6. The future financial impact on our Create subscription revenues will be dependent on the timing of renewals and contract negotiations with our Enterprise customers but we believe that, over time, these pricing changes will help us to drive consistent revenue growth in the double digit range for our core subscription business. In October, we launched Unity 6, the most stable and best performing version of Unity. Unity 6 is designed to enable the creation of better games, built more quickly and more efficiently than ever before. Built, tested, and refined in production environments in partnership with developers, Unity 6 marks a shift in how we’ll approach our development cycle moving forward. The key will be in maintaining a better and more consistent feedback loop that will ensure we deliver tools that make a tangible difference for our customers every day. Some of the new features in Unity 6 include end-to-end multiplayer workflows that speed development of connected games; tools that enable developers to reach even more players by targeting mobile web; and with new graphics capabilities that move workloads from the CPU to the GPU we have seen CPU computation time improvements of up to 4X, dropping from from 40 milliseconds to 10 milliseconds per computation in internal stress tests. Bringing cross-platform 3D visualization to market segments outside of gaming is a major focal point of our strategy, and remains the fastest growing segment of our subscription business. We are beginning to achieve global scale through partnerships with global system integrators (GSIs), distributors and value- added resellers (VARs) in every region. New Unity customers in the quarter include Dutch airline KLM and Deutsche Bahn, the national railway company of Germany. KLM used Unity to build a VR cockpit training application that allows pilots to practice, hone their skills and enhance situational awareness. By using Unity, the airline achieved significant reductions in iteration time, full immersion for trainees using the latest headset technology, and enhanced quality and customization of training scenarios. Deutsche Bahn used Unity to build guided customer experiences in AR to help passengers navigate transit changes, and created VR environments for staff training that include a fire safety training simulator for train operators and a railway interlocking system training © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 5
simulator for train dispatchers. Finally, the pace of Product releases in our Grow business also accelerated, highlighted by efforts to increase the scale and quality of users acquired, fine tune automated ROAS campaigns on our ad networks, and build diversity and effectiveness of ad placements. We’ve also continued to invest in our Ad Quality product, which gives publishers critical transparency into how the ads running inside their apps and games impact user engagement, and the tools to immediately shut off those that are having a negative impact. All of this work continues alongside the more fundamental data infrastructure and machine learning work being prepared for a 2025 launch. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 6
GUIDANCE2 For the fourth quarter, we are guiding revenue for our strategic portfolio to $422 to $427 million. We are guiding Adjusted EBITDA to $79 to $84 million for the total company. We are raising guidance for the full year due to better than expected performance in Q3, with full year revenue guidance for our strategic portfolio now at $1,703 to $1,708 million compared to $1,680 to $1,690 million previously and Adjusted EBITDA of $363 to $368 million compared to $340 to $350 million previously. We closed the third quarter with 488 million fully-diluted shares as compared to our third quarter fully diluted share count in guidance of 488 million. We expect 488 million fully diluted shares at the end of the fourth quarter. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y .

Refer to the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We have not reconciled our estimates for non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP due to the uncertainty and potential variability of expenses that may be incurred in the future. As a result, a reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort and we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We have provided a reconciliation of other GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our third quarter non-GAAP results included in this shareholder letter.
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS The entire gaming ecosystem functions better when Unity is delivering on its commitment to provide developers and publishers what they need to make and market great games. While we’re just at the beginning of our journey to transform the Company, we’re energized by our progress and the response from our customers and the community. The opportunity is clear, the market wants us to succeed, and we believe we have everything we need to deliver consistent, sustainable growth and profitability in the years ahead. As always, our deepest gratitude goes out to our customers, partners, employees, and investors for their unwavering support. Warm regards, Matt Bromberg President and Chief Executive Officer © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y . C O M | 8

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We are presenting these non- GAAP financial measures because we believe, when taken collectively, they may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. As a result, our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. © 2024 Unity Technologies U N I T Y .
