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.

(1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock of Unity Software Inc. (the “Registrant”) that become issuable under the plans set forth herein by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected that results in an increase to the number of outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock, as applicable.
(2) Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee on the basis of $29.70, the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on February 27, 2024.
(3) Represents additional shares of common stock available for issuance as a result of the annual evergreen increase on January 1, 2024 under the Registrant’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Pursuant to such provision, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan 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 the Registrant’s 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. The Board 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.
(4) Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee on the basis of 85% of $29.70, the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on February 27, 2024. Pursuant to the Registrant’s 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”), the purchase price of the shares of common stock will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last day of the offering period.
(5) Represents additional shares of common stock available for issuance as a result of the annual evergreen increase on January 1, 2024 under the 2020 ESPP.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon (a) the Registration Statement and related prospectuses, (b) the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as currently in effect, (c) the Plans, and (d) such other records, documents, opinions, certificates, memoranda and instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by all persons other than the Company where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters.
Our opinion is expressed only with respect to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion to the extent that any other laws are applicable to the subject matter hereof and express no opinion and provide no assurance as to compliance with any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation.

This opinion is limited to the matters expressly set forth in this letter, and no opinion should be implied, or may be inferred, beyond the matters expressly stated. This opinion speaks only as to law and facts in effect or existing as of the date hereof and we have no obligation or responsibility to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
