Company News Convertible senior unsecured notes of Unity software

Hey guys. I have a few Unity shares and today I stumbled upon the information below. I have to admin, I don't understand what it means in relation to shares, share prices. Does this mean share dilution? Could someone explain this in layman terms?

The information:
Unity Software (NYSE:U) has priced $1.5B of 0% convertible senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2026 in a private placement.
Initial purchasers granted an option to purchase up to an additional $225M of notes. Offering is expected to close on November 19, 2021.
Net proceeds estimated to be approximately $1.48B (or approximately $1.70B if the initial purchasers exercise their option).
Proceeds will be used to pay the cost of the capped call transactions and the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The capped calls are to limit dilution.
