Adoption of Performance Equity Award Program

 

On December 16, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Joby Aviation, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a performance equity award program for calendar year 2022 (the “Program”). All employees of the Company, including the Company’s named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Program. Under the Program, upon and subject to the Company’s achievement of certain operational, manufacturing and business goals in 2022, each employee of the Company will be granted one or more awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan having a value equal to a percentage of the employee’s annual salary. Any RSUs that are granted under the Program in calendar year 2022 will vest in full on January 1, 2023, subject to the holder’s continued employment with the Company through such date.

 

For each of the Company’s named executive officers and principal financial officer, the potential value of the RSU awards under the Program, assuming target achievement of all goals, is set forth in the table below. Maximum achievement of all goals under the Program would result in values that are one-third greater than the target values below.
