Resignation of Chief Product and Technology Officer, Create
On May 13, 2024, Unity Software Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Marc Whitten will resign as the Company’s Chief Product and Technology Officer, Create, effective as of June 1, 2024 (the “Transition Date”). Mr. Whitten will assist with the transition of his responsibilities and has agreed to continue serving as an employee until he departs from the Company, effective December 31, 2024 (the “Resignation Date”).
In connection with his resignation and transition, the Company and Mr. Whitten entered into a resignation and transition agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which, from the Transition Date until the Resignation Date (the “Transition Period”), Mr. Whitten will serve as a Strategic Advisor. Mr. Whitten will continue to receive his base salary and his previously granted equity awards will continue to vest during the Transition Period. The Agreement also provides for a customary release of claims by Mr. Whitten.
In addition, Mr. Whitten will be entitled to the following benefits upon the Resignation Date:
•An extension of the post-termination exercise period of his vested stock options outstanding on the Resignation Date until the earliest to occur of (i) three years following the Resignation Date, (ii) the applicable expiration date of the applicable award, or (iii) such earlier date as provided or permitted under the applicable equity plan, subject to certain conditions described in the Agreement.
•A lump sum cash payment in the amount of $200,000, less applicable state and federal payroll deductions, which is equal to twenty-six weeks of his base salary.
•A lump sum cash payment in the amount of $400,000, less applicable state and federal payroll deductions, which is equal to 100% of his target bonus for 2024 under the cash incentive bonus plan.
•A lump sum cash payment in the amount of $200,000, less applicable state and federal payroll deductions, for supporting the leadership transition.
•A lump sum cash payment in the amount of approximately $14,801, less applicable state and federal payroll deductions, which is equivalent to six months’ payment for health care continuation costs.
If the Company terminates Mr. Whitten’s employment for “cause” (as defined in the Agreement) prior to the Resignation Date, Mr. Whitten will cease to receive his base salary, and his equity awards will cease to vest on the date of such termination, and he will not be entitled to the extended post-termination exercise period nor the cash payments described above. If Mr. Whitten resigns prior to the Resignation Date, he will cease to receive his base salary and his equity awards will cease to vest on the date of such resignation; however, he will still be entitled to the extended post-termination exercise period and the cash payments described above.
A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
