    ironSource Transaction Expected to Deliver Significant Benefits for Shareholders and Position Combined Company for Increased Value Creation

    Unity Board Determines AppLovin Proposal Would Not Reasonably Be Expected to Result in a Superior Proposal to Unity's Agreement with ironSource

    Unity (NYSE:U) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has completed a thorough financial and strategic evaluation of the unsolicited proposal from AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP), with the assistance of outside financial and legal advisors, and has unanimously determined that it is not in the best interests of Unity shareholders and would not reasonably be expected to result in a "Superior Proposal" as defined in Unity's merger agreement with ironSource (NYSE:IS). The Unity Board reaffirms its recommendation to Unity's shareholders to vote in favor of the previously announced ironSource transaction and recommends against the unsolicited AppLovin proposal. The Unity Board is committed to acting in the best interests of Unity shareholders with a focus on driving long-term sustainable value creation.

    John Riccitiello, President and Chief Executive Officer of Unity, said, "The Board continues to believe that the ironSource transaction is compelling and will deliver an opportunity to generate long-term value through the creation of a unique end-to-end platform that allows creators to develop, publish, run, monetize, and grow live games and real-time 3D content seamlessly. We remain committed to and enthusiastic about Unity's agreement with ironSource and the substantial benefits it will create for our shareholders and Unity creators."

    The ironSource Transaction Represents Outstanding Value Creation Opportunity for Unity Shareholders

    • Combining Unity and ironSource will form the industry's first end-to-end platform to power creators' success as they build, run, manage, grow, and monetize live games and real-time 3D content across their lifecycle. The transaction will drive better economic outcomes for customers by bringing together the Unity game engine and editor, Unity Ads, and the rest of Unity Gaming Services (UGS) with ironSource's best-in-class mediation and publishing platforms.
    • The combined company is expected to generate a run rate of $1 billion in Adjusted EBITDA by the end of 2024, and the combination is expected to generate $300 million in annual EBITDA synergies by year three.
    • In connection with the merger, Unity's Board of Directors has authorized a 24-month share buyback program of up to $2.5 billion, effective upon closing of the merger.
    • Unity shareholders Silver Lake and Sequoia have fully committed to purchase an aggregate of $1 billion in convertible notes from Unity at closing, demonstrating their belief in the value creation potential of the merger.

    Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley are serving as financial advisors to Unity, and Morrison & Foerster, Richard Layton & Finger and Herzog, Fox & Neeman are serving as its legal advisors.

    Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

    This communication includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "foresees," "forecasts," "estimates'' or other words or phrases of similar import. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which Unity Software Inc. ("Unity") and ironSource Ltd.

While Unity's and ironSource's management believe the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, such information is necessarily subject to uncertainties and may involve certain risks, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the proposed transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others following announcement of the merger agreement; the inability to consummate the transaction due to the failure to obtain the requisite stockholder approvals or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the transaction; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Unity and ironSource; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including anticipated synergies; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the transaction; Unity's expected stock buyback occurring as planned or at all; and the other risks and important factors contained and identified in Unity's and ironSource's filings with the Securities and Exchange Committee ("SEC"), such as Unity's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and ironSource's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Current Reports on Form 6-K, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication.
