From the article: "The VFX artists will be spun out into a new entity, “Weta FX”, which Peter Jackson will continue to own the majority of."
There are two different Weta companies being talked about. Weta Digital, which makes VFX tools and does VFX, is being split. The Weta Digital name and the VFX tools, assets, and software engineering have been bought by Unity. Weta FX has been created, is not owned by Unity, and will continue doing VFX.
(There is also a third big Weta company, Weta Workshop, that does physical props, costumes, models, etc.)
