Unity may not redeem the Notes prior to November 20, 2024. Unity may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after November 20, 2024 if the last reported sale price of Unity’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Unity provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. If Unity redeems less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $150 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of, and after giving effect to, delivery of the relevant redemption notice.
If Unity undergoes a “fundamental change,” then, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, holders may require Unity to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes or if Unity delivers a notice of redemption, Unity will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the Notes for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Unity entered into capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof and other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Unity’s common stock initially underlying the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Unity’s common stock upon any conversion of Notes and/or offset any cash payments Unity is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.
The cap price of the capped call transactions relating to the Notes will initially be approximately $343.02, which represents a premium of approximately 75.0% over the last report sale price of Unity’s common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on November 16, 2021, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Unity expects the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates will enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Unity’s common stock and/or purchase shares of Unity’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes, including with, or from, as the case may be, certain investors in the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Unity’s common stock or the trading price of the Notes at that time.
