Material Changes and Executive Compensation
On October 27, 2022, the Board's human capital and compensation committee approved the grant of Price-Vested Units (PVUs) to executives Luis Visoso and Marc Whitten.
- Recipients: Luis Visoso and Marc Whitten.
- Award Size: 439,947 PVUs each (performance-based restricted stock units).
- Performance Period: November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2029 (seven years).
- Vesting Structure: Divided into four tranches of 25% each, subject to continued service and stock price hurdles.
Stock Price Hurdles and Vesting Conditions
Vesting requires the recipient to remain in continuous service through specific dates and for the stock price to exceed set hurdles for 20 consecutive trading days.
| Tranche | Service End Date | Stock Price Hurdle |
|---|---|---|
| 1st (25%) | October 31, 2023 | $50.00 |
| 2nd (25%) | October 31, 2024 | $65.00 |
| 3rd (25%) | October 31, 2025 | $80.00 |
| 4th (25%) | October 31, 2026 | $100.00 |
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Termination Provisions: Generally, unvested PVUs are forfeited upon termination. Exceptions exist for death (partial or full vesting if price hurdles are met) and Change in Control scenarios.
Change in Control: If a Change in Control occurs, tranches may vest if the stock price hurdle was previously met or if the transaction price exceeds the hurdle. Unmet tranches are forfeited unless a Qualified Termination Event occurs, in which case eligible tranches fully vest.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of Unity common stock against the $50, $65, $80, and $100 hurdles to assess vesting probability.
- Review the company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan for the full definition of "Continuous Service" and "Change in Control."
- Monitor future filings for any amendments to the PVU agreements or changes in executive tenure.
- Confirm the total dilution impact of these awards relative to the company's outstanding share count.
