SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 18, 2022
PROSPECTUS FOR
UP TO 511,219,042 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
11,533,333 WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK
AND
28,783,333 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING
WARRANTS
OF
JOBY AVIATION, INC.
 
 
This prospectus relates to (i) the resale of up to 427,719,042 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”) issued in connection with the Merger (as defined below) by certain of the selling shareholders named in this prospectus (each a “Selling Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”), (ii) the resale of 83,500,000 shares of common stock issued in the PIPE Investment (as defined below) by certain of the Selling Shareholders and (iii) the resale of up to 28,783,333 shares of common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. This prospectus also relates to the resale of up to 11,533,333 of our outstanding warrants originally purchased in a private placement by the Selling Shareholders.
On August 10, 2021, we consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 23, 2021, by and among Reinvent Technology Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“RTP”), RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP (“Merger Sub”) and into Joby Aero, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Joby”). RTP was domesticated as a Delaware corporation and changed its name to “Joby Aviation, Inc.” (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Joby, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy Joby survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of Joby Aviation, Inc. (the “Merger”).
We are registering the securities for resale pursuant to the Selling Shareholders’ registration rights under certain agreements between us and the Selling Shareholders. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Shareholders will offer or sell any of the shares of common stock or warrants. The Selling Shareholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of their shares of common stock or warrants publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Shareholders may sell the shares of common stock or warrants in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
We are also registering the resale of shares of common stock held by certain of our affiliates.
We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of the warrants for cash, but not from the resale of the shares of common stock or warrants by the Selling Shareholders.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock and warrants. The Selling Shareholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the shares of common stock and warrants.
Trading of our common stock and warrants began on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on August 11, 2021, under the new ticker symbol “JOBY” for the common stock and “JOBY WS” for the warrants. Prior to the Domestication and transfer to NYSE, RTP’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “RTP Class A ordinary shares”) and warrants to purchase RTP Class A ordinary shares (the “RTP warrants”) traded under the ticker symbols “RTP” and “RTP WS”, respectively, on NYSE. On April 14, 2022, the closing sale price of our common stock as reported by NYSE was $5.20 per share and the closing price of our warrants was $1.23 per warrant.
 
 
Investing in shares of our common stock or warrants involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is                     , 2022.

Our company
Our vision is to save a billion people an hour every day by delivering a new form of clean and quiet aerial transportation. Building on recent advancements in energy storage, microelectronics and software, we’re developing an
all-electric
aircraft that will transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, while also having the ability to take off and land vertically. We have been working towards this vision for 10 years, including significant prototyping and development. This is not an easy journey. The journey to create a new industry and transform the way people travel will be filled with unexpected challenges. At this time, we are testing prototype aircraft and refining designs to meet the demanding standards that we have set out to deliver. We are also embarking on aircraft certification and developing production processes to adhere to the guidelines of the FAA. While we have agreed with the FAA on the basis for our type certification through the
G-1
issue paper, we still are in the process of testing and refining our designs to achieve our FAA type and production certifications that will be required to commercialize operations. This process is expected to continue through at least 2023. Successfully operating a commercial service will also require having a Part 135 operating license, which we are in the process of developing the standards, procedures and training to support. We are also developing, testing and refining our processes for each step of component and aircraft production to support scaling effectively to supply required aircraft for service.
We intend to operate our aircraft on journeys of 5 to 150 miles, providing rapid and cost-effective connections between cities and their surrounding areas. Compared to traditional ground-based infrastructure such as road and rail, aerial ridesharing networks can be set up rapidly, and at a significantly lower cost, enabling us to provide a sustainable solution to today’s dual challenges of congestion and climate change.
By combining the freedom of straight-line air travel with the efficiency of our aircraft, we expect to deliver journeys that are up to 5 times faster than driving, and it is our goal to steadily drive down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch to make the services widely accessible.
Our aircraft has been specifically designed to achieve a considerably lower noise footprint than that of today’s conventional aircraft. It is quiet at takeoff and near silent when flying overhead, which we anticipate will allow us to operate from new skyport locations nearer to where people live and work, in addition to utilizing the more than 5,000 heliport and airport infrastructure assets already in existence in the U.S. alone.
To date, we have completed more than 1,000 test flights and believe we are the first eVTOL developer to have agreed to a signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis from the FAA. We believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn the airworthiness certification required to start commercial operations.
We do not intend to sell these aircraft to independent third parties or individual consumers. Instead, we will manufacture, own and operate our aircraft ourselves, or with partners, building a vertically integrated transportation company that will deliver a convenient
app-based
aerial ridesharing service directly to
end-users.

We believe this business model will generate the greatest economic returns, while providing us with
end-to-end
control over the customer experience to optimize for customer safety, comfort and value. To
de-risk
this ambitious model, we have established partnerships with leading companies such as Toyota and Uber as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Air Force.
The emerging UAM annual market value is projected to exceed $500 billion in the U.S. alone according to Booz Allen Hamilton’s 2018 Urban Air Mobility Market Study. By leveraging our vertically integrated business model, technological differentiation and
best-in-class
strategic relationships, we believe we have an historic opportunity to define a new market for sustainable daily mobility, enabling people to rethink the way they move in and around metropolitan areas and the rural communities that surround them.
Extending the Electrification of Transportation to the Skies
Developing sustainable mobility solutions has never been more needed given the threat that climate change poses to our communities and to our planet. According to the EPA, the top source of CO2 emissions in the U.S. is the transportation sector. Any solution to current and future transportation demands must embrace sustainability.
Over the past two decades, improvements in
lithium-ion
batteries and power electronics alongside the ever-increasing performance of microelectronics have enabled the development and deployment of new sustainable energy and transportation solutions. The success of electric ground vehicles have fueled continued investments in improving these technologies. Battery energy densities, in particular, have improved enough that application to aviation is now practical.
We expect the electrification of transportation to accelerate and extend to the skies in the decade ahead, representing a bright spot where technology, economy and sustainability converge. Applying electrification to small aircraft unlocks new degrees of freedom in aircraft design that were not possible with traditional, combustion engines. In particular, distributed electric propulsion rather than a single central engine enables a new class of quiet, safe, and economical vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that were previously not possible.
 
A New Type of Local Transportation Network
Deploying these aircraft through the business model of
app-driven,
on-demand
mobility that has been validated by ridesharing companies globally will provide a revolutionary new method of daily transportation. The low noise, operating costs and carbon emissions enabled by the
all-electric
powertrain, combined with the ability to take off and land vertically, unlocks aerial access to urban cores. We believe this will result in a new market for high-volume aerial mobility in and around cities and the rural communities that surround them. We

believe this new solution will enable people to not just rethink how they get around on a daily basis, but also provide greater freedom to choose where they call home relative to the economic, cultural and social opportunities that have historically drawn people together.
We intend to deploy our eVTOL aircraft in local aerial ridesharing networks in cities around the world. Operating
point-to-point
in and around cities, these new aerial networks will sidestep the major problems of cost and scale that plague all ground-based networks as described above. Fundamentally, an aerial mobility network is nodal vs. the path-based nature of ground mobility. Each new node added to the network adds connectivity to all the other nodes, whereas each new mile of road, rail, or tunnel only extends one single route by one mile. In a nodal network, a linear increase in the number of nodes leads to an exponential increase in the number of connections. This critical scaling feature is what has allowed commercial aviation to connect the world, and we believe that we can use the same principle to bring new levels of connectivity to cities.
Our Business Strategy
Our Aerial Ridesharing Service
We intend to build an aerial ridesharing service powered by a network of eVTOL aircraft that we will manufacture and operate. We plan to develop an
app-based
platform that will permit consumers to book rides directly through our service. We will also integrate access to our service into leading third-party demand aggregation platforms, including through our partnership with Uber. Whether our service is accessed through our own platform, or through a partner app like Uber, we will tightly integrate ground transportation providers for the first and last mile with our aerial service, providing a seamless travel experience.
We refer to trips that tightly integrate air and ground legs together as ‘multimodal’ By building network management software that efficiently sequences multimodal trips, we believe we can provide substantial time savings to travelers while coordinating the development of optimally-located skyport infrastructure. Additionally, we intend to develop software that will coordinate multiple riders into each air leg, allowing us to drive high utilization rates and load factor for our aircraft and, in turn, progressive reduction in
end-user
pricing.
We believe that our
app-based
aerial ridesharing service will be fast, convenient, comfortable, environmentally sustainable and, over time, progressively more affordable. By maintaining full control over the design, development, test, manufacture and operations of our aircraft, we intend to deliver a service that is optimized from beginning to end, positioning us to be the leading company in this market.
Our vertically integrated business model ensures we aren’t simply manufacturing aircraft for sale and receiving
one-time
revenues, but instead generating recurring revenues over the lifetime of the aircraft with corresponding benefits to contribution margin.
The Most Capable Aircraft for Aerial Ridesharing
Our team of world-class engineers, has been working for more than a decade to develop an aircraft specifically designed for aerial ridesharing. Over that period, we have built a team that is deeply committed to vertically integrated engineering, testing, prototyping and manufacturing.
In-housing
the development of much of the aircraft has required greater
up-front
investment in R&D, however it has allowed us to develop systems and components that are specifically engineered for their intended application. We believe this has resulted in an aircraft with
best-in-class
capabilities across key performance metrics, while reducing reliance on program critical third-party suppliers that add cost to the final product and risk to development and certification schedules.

Table of Contents
When designing the aircraft, we prioritized three areas that we believe are central to unlocking high-volume aerial ridesharing: (i) safety, (ii) noise and (iii) performance.
 
   
Safety
:
By utilizing distributed electric propulsion rather than centrally-located internal combustion engines, we’re able to deliver a fault-tolerant overall architecture for the aircraft. Each propeller is powered by two independent electric motors, each in turn driven by independent electric motor drive-units. Each drive-unit draws power from one of four separate batteries onboard the aircraft. This emphasis on redundancy is extended to other critical subsystems of the aircraft, including the flight computers, control surfaces, communications network and actuators. The result is a design intended to have no single points of failure across aircraft systems.
While these advancements in technology contribute to the overall safety of the aircraft, we recognize that safely delivering a commercial aviation operation requires both organizational and cultural commitments. We’ve made safety a core value, and we actively promote that value across the team.
Given our intent to both manufacture and operate our aircraft, we are developing a comprehensive, vertically-integrated SMS, covering aircraft, manufacturing, operations, maintenance and flight training. Through the enterprise approach, SMS interfaces will facilitate the exchange of information between operational entities to continuously improve the safety of our aircraft and operations.
 
   
Noise:
Developing an aircraft with a low noise footprint that allows for regular operations within metropolitan areas is important to community acceptance. In addition to the benefits afforded by an
all-electric
powertrain, we’ve spent substantial engineering resources to reduce the noise signature of the aircraft even further. The result is an aircraft that is
100-times
quieter than a twin-engine helicopter, exhibiting a noise profile in the range of 65 dBA during takeoff and landing (the noisiest configuration), roughly the volume of a normal speaking voice. In over-head flight, the aircraft is near silent at even 500ft to 1,000ft flyover.
 
   
Performance
:
Our commitment to vertical integration and
in-house
development has allowed for optimization of systems and components across the aircraft, resulting in better energy efficiency, range, and speed than what would otherwise be available using COTS componentry. Our aircraft demonstrates energy efficiency comparable to
best-in-class
electric ground vehicles on a watt-hour per passenger seat mile basis across most trip distances, and greater efficiency leads to longer range. We believe that our maximum
150-mile
range on a single charge and 200 mph cruise speed represent
best-in-class
performance specifications. This range and speed not only allow us to service a more diverse set of passengers and trips, but it also increases the time-savings of our service and results in greater operational flexibility and reduced operating costs.
The end result is a transformational new electric aircraft that is uniquely capable of pioneering this exciting new market – all with a minimal environmental footprint.
The innovations that we’ve produced to deliver this
best-in-class
performance are supported by extensive proprietary intellectual property and defended by a robust patent portfolio. Over more than a decade of development, we have generated more than 100 U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, including broad fundamental patents around the architecture of our aircraft and the core technologies that enable our
best-in-class
performance. We intend to continue to build our IP portfolio with respect to the technologies that we develop and refine.
First to FAA Certification
In addition to having developed an aircraft design with
best-in-class
performance, we expect to be the first company to receive FAA type certification and be first to introduce large-scale commercial operations with an eVTOL aircraft.

Table of Contents
In the U.S., new aircraft designs are required to pass through the rigorous FAA design certification process, known as type certification, before the aircraft can be issued a standard airworthiness certificate to fly in the NAS. This is an exacting process often extending over 5 or more years that require extensive ground and
in-flight
testing with FAA scientists, engineers and flight test pilots across a fleet of multiple aircraft.
We believe that we are further along in this type certification process than any of our direct competitors. From the very beginning, we designed our aircraft to meet the criteria of FAA Part 23 as a normal category piloted electric airplane, which can also take off and land vertically. We have been flying full-scale prototypes of our aircraft through the full transition flight envelope since 2017, conducting tests and gathering data. In parallel, we’ve been working with the FAA to establish the specific design criteria that apply to this aircraft. In 2020, the FAA provided us with a signed, stage 4 certification basis (known within the industry as a
G-1).
The
G-1
certification basis is an agreement with the FAA on the set of tests that need to be done at the component and vehicle level to prove the safety of the aircraft and receive type certification. A
G-1
(stage 4) certification basis provides us with a clear path to certify our aircraft design. To our knowledge we are the first company developing a comparable aircraft to have reached this important milestone.
In addition to receiving the signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis, we believe that we were also the first company developing eVTOL aircraft to receive airworthiness approval from the U.S. Air Force.
We expect the FAA type certificate will be reciprocated internationally pursuant to the bilateral agreements between the FAA and its counterpart civil aviation authorities. This will provide a means of efficient international expansion as we develop commercial operations around the world.
FAA certification of new aircraft designs is hard and time consuming. There are no shortcuts, and it takes years to develop the team and the expertise needed to develop a certification basis with the FAA. While the agreement with the FAA for our
G-1
certification basis has blazed a trail for others to follow, each certification basis is unique to the specific aircraft. The companies in our industry that are following our lead will also need to put in the hard work to develop the team and work independently with the FAA to solidify their own path to certification.

In order to achieve our vision of saving a billion people an hour a day, we will need to deliver a transformational service at a price point that is economically accessible. We believe that being first to market with the right aircraft will provide important first mover advantages that will enable us to steadily drive down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch. Emerging technologies often benefit from positive network effects as the product or service enters the market, and we expect this to hold true for aerial ridesharing. As additional passengers enter the network, utilization rates for our aircraft will increase, thereby improving unit economics and allowing costs to be amortized over a greater number of trips. At the same time, reductions in per aircraft costs driven by greater manufacturing scale can support progressively lower pricing while maintaining similar per aircraft unit profitability. A combination of these local network effects coupled with the economies of scale in manufacturing allow us to estimate that by 2026 we will be able to offer the service at a cost of $3 per passenger mile, with opportunities to drive that
end-user
pricing down even further over time.
We expect this will result in a virtuous cycle. As additional passengers enter the network, we will be able to support the establishment of new routes and infrastructure, further increasing the value and utility of the service to the passengers using it. We believe this will position us to capture customer mindshare and establish a trusted, recognized brand that will keep passengers returning to the service and further reinforce these positive network effects.

Since the certification basis for new aircraft is determined on an
aircraft-by-aircraft
basis, the rigorous multi-year certification process requires a substantial investment of both time and capital by competitors, limiting their ability to rapidly enter the market. We believe this provides for an extended window in which to enjoy the benefits of the networks effects outlined above. The FAA certification process also requires a substantial investment of both time and capital for competitors to modify their designs or technologies to match the
best-in-class
performance of our aircraft. We believe this will make the first mover advantage particularly meaningful in the aerial ridesharing market.
Finally, we believe that network effects, combined with our strong engineering function, will provide a robust base for investments in next generation technologies such as autonomy and improvements in battery energy density. Accelerating the development, or otherwise capturing the benefits of improvements in these technologies will provide another lever for improving unit economics and driving down
end-user
pricing, precipitating the next cycle of network effects.
Compelling Unit Economics with Quick Payback Period
From the early design stage, we’ve been focused on developing an aircraft that delivers compelling unit economics. First, we expect the fault-tolerant architecture of the aircraft, combined with a design intended to have no single point of failure across aircraft systems, will result in substantially lower maintenance costs and down times relative to existing aircraft. Second, with a top speed nearly double that of conventional helicopters, we will be able to deliver faster operating speeds and amortize fixed and variable costs over a greater number of passenger seat miles. Finally, by being
all-electric,
the aircraft operates with substantially lower fuel costs relative to conventionally fueled alternatives. These low maintenance costs, low fuel costs and high operating speeds combine to deliver an operating cost projected to be 1/4th of the cost per mile flown as a twin engine helicopter.
On a per plane basis, at a price point of $3.00 per seat mile by 2026, we anticipate each aircraft will generate approximately $2.2 million of net revenue, which when combined with the
all-in
favorable unit cost profile, will generate approximately $1.0 million of earnings. This creates an attractive payback period of just 1.3 years for an aircraft with a projected
10-year
service life, and demonstrates the compelling opportunity we have to increase scale.
Develop Partnerships to Reduce Risk
We believe that our strategic relationships provide us with another point of competitive differentiation. Across each of the important activities of high-volume manufacturing,
go-to-market
strategy and
pre-certification
operations, we have established strong collaborations and relationships with Toyota, Uber and the U.S. Government to help to
de-risk
our commercial strategy.
Toyota Motor Corporation
Toyota has invested nearly $400 million in Joby to date, making Toyota our largest outside investor. However, the collaboration goes beyond pure financial backing. Toyota engineers are working shoulder to shoulder with their Joby counterparts on a daily basis across collaboration projects such as factory planning and layout, manufacturing process development and design for manufacturability.
The production volumes that we are targeting for our aircraft are closer to the volumes associated with the automotive industry than traditional aerospace manufacturing. Capturing economies of scale in both production and operations is an important component of our strategy to deliver a global mobility service that steadily drives down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch.

Table of Contents
We believe that our collaboration with Toyota has provided and continues to provide us with a significant competitive advantage as we design and build out our high-volume manufacturing capability. In addition to being the world’s largest automaker, Toyota is globally recognized for delivering quality, safety and reliability at scale, all of which are necessary characteristics in aerospace manufacturing. We believe this makes Toyota a strong collaboration partner as we continue to develop our high-volume manufacturing capabilities.
Uber Technologies, Inc.
We believe that our partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc. and our acquisition of Uber’s Elevate business, provides us with two important competitive advantages in our
go-to-market
planning and execution.
First, through our acquisition of Elevate we were able to welcome approximately 40 experienced team members from Uber, along with a set of software tools focused on planning and operations the Elevate team had developed over several years. The planning tools we acquired enable higher fidelity decision-making on market selection, infrastructure siting, demand simulation and multi-modal operations, and are supported by underlying mobility data sets that feed these software tools. The operational tools we acquired were developed to support the Uber Copter service, a multi-modal aerial ridesharing service run by Uber in late 2019 and early 2020. We also acquired a portfolio of 5 issued or allowed patents and 74 pending patent applications, many of which relate to aerial rideshare technology such as fleet and infrastructure utilization, routing, air traffic coordination, app technology, and takeoff and landing infrastructure. We believe the acquisition of Elevate positions us to make uniquely informed, data-driven decisions in the lead up to commercial launch, as well as accelerating our operational readiness.
Second, the collaboration agreement that we entered into with Uber at the closing of the Elevate acquisition expanded our earlier 2019 collaboration agreement, and provides for the integration of our aerial ridesharing service into the Uber app across all U.S. launch markets. We believe this will provide a
best-in-class
platform to funnel demand to our aerial ridesharing service, while allowing us to reduce customer acquisition costs in the early years of commercial operations. Uber will also be reciprocally integrated into any future Joby Aviation mobile application on a
non-exclusive
basis to service the ground-based component of multi-modal journeys booked by customers through our application. The goal of this mutual integration is to ensure passengers can access a multi-modal travel experience, seamlessly transitioning from
ground-to-air-to-ground
with unified,
one-click
booking.
U.S. Air Force
In December of 2020, we became, to our knowledge, the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, and in the first quarter of 2021 we officially began
on-base
operations under contract pursuant to the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program. Our multi-year relationship with the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies provides us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch. We believe it will also provide an opportunity to test various aspects of the consumer-facing aerial ridesharing service. By operating our aircraft on U.S. military installations on a contractor-owned, contractor-operated model, we expect to gain valuable insight that will result in a more reliable service at launch.
In addition to the operational learnings, our existing contracts also provide for more than $40 million of payments through 2024 based upon full performance, and we are actively pursuing additional contracts and relationships that would increase these
on-base
operations going forward.
In addition to the strategic relationships outlined above, we continue to pursue and develop strategic partnerships with key stakeholders across the eVTOL value chain. We maintain regular dialogue with regulatory bodies and aviation authorities (domestic and international), cities and municipalities, real estate and infrastructure partners, and transportation service providers, to name a few.

Future Market Opportunities
We believe there are opportunities to address markets that are adjacent to our core mobility business, including delivery and logistics as well as emergency services. We may make select forward investments to better address these market adjacencies over time.
We further believe that developments in advanced flight controls, battery technologies and alternative methods of energy storage could have a meaningful impact on our core mobility business. Advanced flight controls, including additional “pilot assist” features and, in time, fully-autonomous flight, may allow us to drive-down cost and lower customer pricing as well as relieve operational constraints to service scale. Improvements in battery technology or alternative methods of energy storage may allow us to increase the range, speed and/or payload of our vehicles, dramatically expanding the range of trips and
use-cases
we can serve.
We are now investing and will continue to invest strategically in these areas to ensure that we are well-positioned to capture the benefits offered by these new developments. In certain cases, we expect that Joby may lead development and deployment efforts within our industry.

The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.
In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks. Any of the risk factors we describe below have affected or could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and brand. The market price of shares of our common stock could decline, possibly significantly or permanently, if one or more of these risks and uncertainties occurs. Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Market & Service
The market for UAM has not been established with precision, is still emerging and may not achieve the growth potential we expect or may grow more slowly than expected.
The UAM market is still emerging and has not been established with precision. It is uncertain to what extent market acceptance will grow, if at all. This market is new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, new aircraft and changing consumer demands and behaviors. We intend to initially launch operations in a limited number of metropolitan areas. The success of these markets and the opportunity for future growth in these markets may not be representative of the potential market for UAM in other metropolitan areas. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on regulatory approval and availability of eVTOL technology, as well as the willingness of commuters and travelers to widely adopt air mobility as an alternative to ground transportation. If the public does not perceive UAM as beneficial, or chooses not to adopt UAM then the market for our offerings may not develop, may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect. As a result, the number of potential passengers using our services cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate in a profitable manner in any of our targeted markets. Any of the foregoing could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There may be reluctance by consumers to adopt this new form of mobility, or unwillingness to pay our projected prices.
Our growth is highly dependent upon consumer adoption of an entirely new form of mobility offered by eVTOL aircraft and the UAM market. If consumers do not adopt this new form of mobility or are not willing to pay the prices we project for our services, our business may never materialize.
Our success in a given market will depend on our ability to develop a service network that provides passengers significant time savings when compared with alternative modes of transportation and accurately assess and predicts passenger demand and price sensitivity, which may fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, quality of service, negative publicity, safety incidents, perceived political or geopolitical affiliations, or general dissatisfaction with our services. If we fail to attract passengers, deliver sufficient value to our passengers, or accurately predict demand and price sensitivity, it would harm our financial performance and our competitors’ products may achieve greater market adoption and may grow at a faster rate than our service.
We may not be able to launch our aerial ridesharing service beginning in 2024, as currently projected.
We will need to address significant regulatory, political, operational, logistical, and other challenges in order to launch our aerial ridesharing service. We do not currently have infrastructure in place to operate the service and such infrastructure may not be available or may be occupied on an exclusive basis by competitors. We also have not yet received FAA certification of our aircraft or other required airspace or operational authority and approvals, which are essential to operate our service, and for aircraft production and operation. In addition, to operate as an air carrier, we will need to obtain an air carrier certificate from the FAA and economic authority from the DOT.

Table of Contents
Our
pre-certification
operations may also reveal issues with our aircraft, which could result in certification delays. For example, in February 2022, one of our remotely piloted, experimental prototype aircraft was involved in an accident during flight testing. We are jointly investigating the accident with the FAA and NTSB. At this time, we do not expect the accident to have a significant impact on our business operations or certification timing. Any delay in the financing, design, manufacture and commercial release of our aircraft, which are often experienced by aircraft manufacturers, could materially damage our brand, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. If we are not able to overcome these challenges, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be negatively impacted and our ability to grow our business will be harmed.
We may be unable to effectively build a customer-facing business or app.
We have not yet developed the application through which users will book trips. We may experience difficulty in developing the applications necessary to operate the business, including the customer-facing application. The software underlying the application will be complex and may contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may only be discovered after the code has been released. The third-party software that we incorporate into our platform may also be subject to errors or vulnerabilities. Any errors or vulnerabilities discovered, whether in our proprietary code or any third-party software on which we rely, could result in negative publicity, a loss of users or loss of revenue, access or other performance issues, security incidents, or other liabilities. Such vulnerabilities could also prevent passengers from booking flights, which would adversely affect our passenger utilization rates, or disrupt communications within the Company (e.g., flight schedules or passenger manifests), which could affect our performance. We may need to expend significant financial and development resources to address any errors or vulnerabilities. Any failure to timely and effectively resolve any such errors or vulnerabilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as negatively impact our reputation or brand.
We may be unable to reduce
end-user
pricing at rates sufficient to drive expected growth for our service.
We may not be able to reduce
end-user
pricing over time to increase demand, address new market segments and develop a significantly broader customer base. We expect that our initial
end-user
pricing may be most attractive to relatively affluent consumers, and we will need to address new markets and expand our customer base in order to further grow our business. In particular, we intend for our aerial ridesharing service to be economically accessible to a broad segment of the population and appeal to the customers of ground-based ridesharing services, taxis, and other methods of transportation.
Reducing
end-user
pricing is dependent on accurately estimating the unit economics of our aircraft and the corresponding service. Our estimates rely, in part, on future advancement of technology, such as aerial and ground-based autonomy. If our estimates are inaccurate regarding factors such as production volumes, utilization rates, demand elasticity, operating conditions, deployment volumes, production costs, indirect cost of goods sold, landing fees, charging fees, electricity availability and/or other operating expenses, or if technology such as aerial and ground-based autonomy fails to develop, mature or be commercially available within the periods we expect, we may be unable to offer our service at pricing that is sufficiently compelling to bring about the local network effects that we are predicting and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our competitors may commercialize their technology before us, or we may not be able to fully capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate.
While we expect to be first to market with an eVTOL piloted aerial ridesharing service, we expect this industry to be increasingly competitive and our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not fully realize the benefits we anticipate, and we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overcome by other competitors. If new or existing companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate and obtain large scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for eVTOL aircraft and aerial ridesharing, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate an aerial ridesharing service in the markets in which we intend to launch or in other markets.
Many of our current and potential competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we have and expect to have in the future, which may allow them to devote greater resources to the development,
 
10

Table of Contents
certification and marketing of their products and services or to offer lower prices. Our competitors may also establish strategic relationships amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and offerings. Some have more experience in the aerospace industry than we have, and foreign competitors could benefit from subsidies or other protective measures offered by their home countries. If we do not capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate, it may harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
We may be unable to make our service sufficiently convenient to drive customer adoption.
Our service will depend, in part, on third-party ground operators to take customers from their origin to their departure skyport and from their arrival skyport to their ultimate destination. While we expect to be able to integrate these third-party ground operators into our service, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so effectively, at prices that are favorable to us, or at all. We do not intend to own or operate the ground portion of our multimodal service on which our business will rely. Our business and our brand will be affiliated with these third-party ground operators, and we may experience harm to our reputation if our third-party ground operators suffer from financial instability, poor service, negative publicity, accidents, or safety incidents and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our reputation may be harmed by the broader industry, and customers may not differentiate our services from our competitors.
Passengers and other stakeholders may not differentiate between us and the broader aviation industry or, more specifically, the UAM service industry. If other participants in this market have problems such as safety, technology development, engagement with certification authorities or other regulators, community engagement, security, data privacy, flight delays, or customer service, such problems could impact the public perception of the entire industry, including our business. We may fail to adequately differentiate our brand, our services and our aircraft from others in the market which could impact our ability to attract passengers or engage with other key stakeholders and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our prospects may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences, discretionary spending and other economic conditions that affect demand for our services, including changes resulting from the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Our business is primarily concentrated on UAM services, which we expect may be vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences, discretionary spending and other market changes. The global economy has in the past, and will in the future, experience periods of economic instability and recession, including the current business disruption and financial impact of the global
COVID-19
pandemic. During such periods, our passengers may reduce overall spending on discretionary purchases. Such changes could result in reduced consumer demand for our services, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure, including access to key infrastructure such as airports, we may be unable to offer our service in a way that is useful to passengers.
To operate and expand our proposed aerial ridesharing service, we must secure or otherwise develop adequate landing and maintenance infrastructure in desirable locations in metropolitan areas for our aircraft. We may not be able to ensure that our plans for new service can be implemented in a commercially viable manner given infrastructure constraints, including those imposed by inadequate facilities at desirable locations and increasingly congested airports and heliports. Access to these facilities may be prohibitively expensive, unavailable, or may be inconsistent with our projections. Additionally, we may not be able to obtain necessary permits and approvals and to make necessary infrastructure changes to enable adoption of our aircraft, including installation of charging equipment.
There is also a complex patchwork of federal, regional and municipal regulatory considerations applicable to assets management and property development in general, and aviation assets and infrastructure in particular. Applicable regulations can vary widely by locality. Local community groups, some of which may be opposed to property development in general, and new aviation infrastructure in particular, can impact the application of these regulations or the development of new regulations. If we are unable to acquire or maintain space for passenger terminal or maintenance operations in desirable locations, this could prevent our service from being practical for our customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents
Our aircraft utilization may be lower than expected due to weather and other factors.
Our aircraft may not be able to fly safely in poor weather conditions, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, hail, known icing conditions and/or fog. Our inability to operate in these conditions will reduce our aircraft utilization and cause delays and disruptions in our services. We intend to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate which is the amount of time our aircraft spend in the air carrying passengers. This is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at skyports. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions, security requirements, air traffic congestion and unscheduled maintenance events. The success of our business is dependent, in part, on the utilization rate of our aircraft, and reductions in utilization will adversely impact our financial performance, cause passenger dissatisfaction and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Aircraft and Production
Our aircraft may fail to achieve performance expectations.
Our aircraft may fail to achieve our performance expectations. For example, our aircraft may have a higher noise profile, carry a lower payload or have shorter maximum range than we estimate. Our aircraft also use a substantial amount of software code to operate. Software products are inherently complex and often contain defects and errors when first introduced. We may incur significant costs to address any performance issues, or if not detected or addressed, such issues could negatively impact our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
While we have performed extensive testing, in some instances we are still relying on projections and models to validate the expected performance of our aircraft. To date, we have been unable to validate the performance of our aircraft over the expected lifetime of the aircraft.
We expect to introduce new and additional features and capabilities to the aircraft and our service over time. For example, we may initially operate under VFR only, and then add the ability to operate under IFR subsequently pursuant to block upgrade to the aircraft. We may be unable to develop or certify these upgrades in a timely manner or at all which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to produce aircraft in the volumes and on the timelines we project.
There are significant challenges associated with producing aircraft in the volumes that we are projecting. Our manufacturing facility and processes remain in the prototype stage. The aerospace industry has traditionally been characterized by significant barriers to entry, including large capital requirements, investment costs of designing and manufacturing aircraft, long lead times to bring aircraft to market, the need for specialized design and development expertise, extensive regulatory requirements, the challenge of establishing a brand name and image and the need to establish maintenance and service locations. As a manufacturer of electric aircraft, we face a variety of added barriers to entry including additional costs of developing and producing an electric powertrain, regulations associated with the transport of
lithium-ion
batteries and unproven customer demand for a fully electric aerial mobility service. Additionally, we are developing production lines for components and at volumes for which there is little precedent within the traditional aerospace industry.
We have not yet constructed a high-volume production facility in which to manufacture and assemble our aircraft. Final designs for the build out of the planned manufacturing facility are still in process, and various aspects of the component procurement and manufacturing plans have not yet been determined. We are currently evaluating, qualifying and selecting our suppliers for the planned production aircraft, and we have engaged suppliers for certain necessary components. However, we may not be able to engage suppliers for the remaining components in a timely manner, at an acceptable price, in the necessary quantities or at all.
We will need to do extensive testing to ensure that the aircraft is in compliance with all applicable regulations prior to beginning mass production. In addition to certification of the aircraft, we will be required to obtain approval from the FAA to manufacture completed aircraft pursuant to an
FAA-approved
type design (e.g., type certificate). Production approval involves initial FAA manufacturing approval and extensive ongoing oversight of mass-produced aircraft. If we are unable to obtain production approval for the aircraft, or the FAA imposes unanticipated restrictions as a condition of approval, our projected costs of production could increase substantially.
The timing of our production ramp is dependent upon finalizing certain aspects of the design, engineering, component procurement, testing, build out, and manufacturing plans in a timely manner and upon our ability to execute
 
12

Table of Contents
these plans within the current timeline. It also depends on being able to obtain timely Production Certification from the FAA and sufficient staffing to support production objectives. We intend to fund the build out of our manufacturing facility using existing cash and future financing opportunities. If we are unable to obtain the funds required on the timeline that we anticipate, our plans for building our manufacturing plants could be delayed. If any of the foregoing risks occurs, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
Crashes, accidents or incidents of eVTOL aircraft or involving
lithium-ion
batteries involving us or our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Test flying prototype aircraft is inherently risky, and crashes, accidents or incidents involving our aircraft are possible. In February 2022, one our remotely piloted, experimental prototype aircraft was involved in an accident during flight testing. We are jointly investigating the accident with the FAA and NTSB. At this time, we do not expect the accident to have a significant impact on our business operations or certification timing. This, or any other such occurrence may negatively impact our development, testing and certification efforts, and could result in
re-design,
certification delay and/or postponements or delays to our commercial service launch.
The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and we expect demand for our aerial ridesharing services to be impacted by accidents or other safety issues regardless of whether such accidents or issues involve our aircraft. Such accidents or incidents could also have a material impact on our ability to obtain FAA certification for our aircraft, or to obtain such certification in a timely manner. Such events could impact confidence in a particular aircraft type or the air transportation services industry as a whole, particularly if such accidents or disasters were due to a safety issue. We believe that regulators and the general public are still forming their opinions about the safety and utility of aircraft that are highly reliant on lithium ion batteries and advanced flight control software capabilities and that operate in and around urban areas. An accident or incident involving either our aircraft or a competitor’s aircraft while these opinions are being formed could have a disproportionate impact on the longer-term view of the emerging UAM market.
We are at risk of adverse publicity stemming from any public incident involving our company, our people, our brand or other companies in our industry. Such an incident could involve the actual or alleged behavior of any of our employees or third-party contractors. Further, if our personnel, our aircraft, or other types of aircraft are involved in a public incident, accident, catastrophe or regulatory enforcement action, we could be exposed to significant reputational harm and potential legal liability. The insurance we carry may be inapplicable or inadequate to cover any such matter. If our insurance is inapplicable or inadequate, we may be forced to bear substantial losses. In addition, any such incident could create an adverse public perception, which could harm our reputation, and result in passengers being reluctant to use our services, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial conditions and prospects.
Unsatisfactory safety performance of our aircraft could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.
While we are building operational processes designed to ensure that the design, testing, manufacture, performance, operation and servicing of our aircraft meet rigorous quality standards, we could experience operational or process failures and other problems, including flight test accidents or incidents, manufacturing or design defects, pilot error, cyber-attacks or other intentional acts, that could result in potential safety risks. Additionally, our service will initially rely on a single aircraft type. Our dependence on our aircraft makes us particularly vulnerable to any design defects or mechanical problems associated with our aircraft or its component parts. Any actual or perceived safety issues may result in significant reputational harm to our businesses, in addition to legal liability, increased maintenance, safety infrastructure and other costs. Such issues could result in delaying or cancelling planned flights, increased regulation, grounding of aircraft or other systemic consequences, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
We depend on suppliers and service partners for the raw materials, parts and components in our aircraft and for operational needs.
Despite our high degree of vertical integration, we still rely on purchased parts and materials for aircraft production and manufacturing equipment which we source from suppliers globally, some of whom are currently single source suppliers. Many of the components used in our aircraft must be custom made for us. This supply chain exposes us to multiple potential sources of production constraints, disruption, delivery failure, or component shortages. While we believe that we may be able to establish alternate supply relationships and can obtain replacement components, we may be unable to do so in the short term, or at all, at prices that are favorable

Table of Contents
to us. While we have not experienced material supply chain disruptions to date, we may in the future, which could cause delays in our production process for both prototype and commercial production aircraft. Furthermore, if we experience significant increased demand, or need to replace our existing suppliers, there can be no assurance that additional supplies will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. The disruption in the supply of components from suppliers could lead to delays in aircraft production, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.
Our aircraft may require maintenance at frequencies or at costs which are unexpected.
Our aircraft are highly technical products that require maintenance and support. We are still developing our understanding of the long-term maintenance profile of the aircraft, and if useful lifetimes are shorter than expected, this may lead to greater maintenance costs than previously anticipated. If our aircraft and related equipment require maintenance more frequently than we plan for or at costs that exceed our estimates, that would disrupt the operation of our service and result in higher operating cost, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory & Airspace
We may be unable to obtain relevant regulatory approvals for the commercialization of our aircraft or operation of our mobility service.
The commercialization of new aircraft and the operation of an aerial mobility service requires certain regulatory authorizations and certifications, including Type Certification and an air carrier certificate issued by the FAA under Part 119 with Part 135 operations specifications. While we anticipate being able to obtain such authorizations and certifications, we may be unable to do so on the timeline we project or at all. If we fail to obtain any of the required authorizations or certificates, or do so in a timely manner, or any of these authorizations or certificates are modified, suspended or revoked after we obtain them, we may be unable to launch our commercial service or do so on the timelines we project and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory authorities may disagree with our view that integrating our service into the National Airspace System is possible without changes to existing regulations and procedures.
There are a number of existing laws, regulations and standards that apply to our aircraft and our service, including standards that were not originally intended to apply to electric aircraft. While our aircraft and our service are designed, at launch, to operate within the existing U.S. regulatory framework, the FAA or other regulatory authorities within the markets in which we intend to operate may disagree with this view, which may prohibit, restrict, or delay our ability to launch in the relevant market. Regulatory authorities may introduce changes specifically to address electric aircraft or high-volume flights that could delay our ability to launch our service and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If current airspace regulations are not modified to increase air traffic capacity, our business could be subject to considerable capacity limitations.
A failure to increase air traffic capacity in the airspace serving key markets, including around major airports, could create capacity limitations for our future operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Weaknesses in the National Airspace System and the ATC system, such as outdated procedures and technologies, could result in capacity constraints during peak travel periods or adverse weather conditions, resulting in delays and disruptions to our service. While our aircraft is designed to operate in the National Airspace System under existing rules, our business at scale will likely require airspace allocation for UAM operations and could result in regulatory changes. Our inability to obtain sufficient access to the National Airspace System or to comply with any regulatory changes could increase our costs and pricing of our services, which could reduce demand and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in government regulation could increase our operating costs.
Aerospace manufacturers and aircraft operators are subject to extensive regulatory and legal requirements that involve significant compliance costs. The DOT and the FAA may issue additional regulations relating to the

Table of Contents
operation of our aircraft that could require significant expenditures, resulting in increased costs for us and our passengers. Additional laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates and charges have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of our operations or reduce the demand for air travel. If adopted, these measures could have the effect of raising fares, reducing revenue and increasing costs, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The DOT regulates the terms of sale of our air transportation services.
To sell air transportation services in the United States, we will need DOT authorization of the sale of any charter flights and
by-the-seat
ridesharing services. The DOT further prescribes standards for, among other things, advertising, ticket refunds, baggage liability, consumer disclosures, customer service commitments, customer complaints and the transportation of passengers with disabilities. In the future, the DOT may adopt additional regulations that increase the costs or otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to security regulation that will increase our costs.
The TSA is responsible for certain civil aviation security matters, including the regulation of air carriers that operate under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations as well as passenger and baggage screening at U.S. airports. Because we are introducing an innovative service that operates from both airports and skyports, the security regulatory scheme that will apply is uncertain. If the TSA imposes burdensome security requirements on our services, it could reduce the convenience of our service for our customers, resulting in lower demand and higher cost and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to stringent U.S. export and import control laws and regulations, which may change. We may be unable to comply with these laws and regulations or U.S. government licensing policies, or to secure required authorizations in a timely manner.
Our business is subject to stringent U.S. import and export control laws and regulations as well as economic sanctions laws and regulations. We are required to import and export our products, software, technology and services, and run our operations in the United States, in full compliance with such laws and regulations, which may include the EAR, the ITAR, and economic sanctions administered by the Treasury Department’s OFAC. Similar laws impact our business in other jurisdictions. These trade controls prohibit, restrict, or regulate our ability to, directly or indirectly, export or transfer certain hardware, technical data, technology, software, or services to certain countries and territories, entities, and individuals, and for certain end uses. If we are found to be in violation of these laws and regulations could result in civil and criminal penalties, including the loss of export or import privileges, debarment and reputational harm. While none of our current technologies require us to maintain a registration under ITAR, we may become subject to ITAR in the future.
Pursuant to these trade control laws and regulations, we are required, among other things, to (i) determine the proper licensing jurisdiction and export classification of products, software and technology, and (ii) obtain licenses or other forms of authorization to conduct our business. These requirements include the need to get permission to release controlled technology to foreign person employees and other foreign persons. Changes in U.S. trade control laws and regulations, or reclassifications of our products or technologies, may restrict our operations. The inability to secure and maintain necessary licenses and other authorizations could negatively impact our ability to compete successfully or to operate our business as planned. Any changes in the export control regulations or U.S. licensing policy, such as those necessary to implement U.S. commitments to multilateral control regimes, may restrict our operations. Given the great discretion the government has in issuing or denying such authorizations, there can be no assurance we will be successful in our future efforts to secure and maintain necessary licenses, registrations, or other regulatory approvals which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will be subject to rapidly changing and increasingly restrictive laws, regulations and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security, which may be costly and difficult to comply with.
We will be collecting, using, and disclosing personal information of passengers and others in the course of operating our business. These activities are or may become regulated by a variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security, which are complex, rapidly evolving, and increasingly restrictive.

Table of Contents
Several states, including California, have recently granted residents expanded rights related to their personal information, including the right to request deletion of their personal information and receive detailed reports of how their personal information is used and shared. Similar laws have been proposed in other states and at the federal level. Such laws could have potentially conflicting requirements that would make compliance challenging.
Despite our best efforts, we may not be successful in complying with the rapidly evolving privacy, data protection, and data security requirements. Any actual or perceived
non-compliance
could result in litigation and proceedings against us by governmental entities, passengers, or others, which could result in fines, civil or criminal penalties, limited ability or inability to operate our business, offer services, or market our platform in certain jurisdictions, negative publicity and harm to our brand and reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
U.S. Government Contracts and
Pre-Certification
Operations
The U.S. government may modify or terminate one or more of our existing contracts.
The U.S. government may modify or terminate its contracts with us, without prior notice and at its convenience. In addition, funding may be reduced or withheld as part of the U.S. Congressional appropriations process due to fiscal constraints, changing priorities or other reasons. Any loss or reduction of expected funding and/or modification or termination of one or more of our U.S. government contracts could have a material adverse effect on our access to government testing facilities and/or our ability to secure
pre-certification
operating experience and/or revenues, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be unable to grow our relationship with the U.S. government and the Department of Defense, which will limit our ability to operate prior to receiving an FAA certification of airworthiness.
We are projecting that we will enter into additional contracts with the U.S. government which would enable to operate our aircraft as a service provider for the Department of Defense or other U.S. government agencies both prior to receiving an airworthiness certificate from the FAA and after. Failure to obtain these contracts would limit our ability to gain operational learnings about our aircraft and secure meaningful revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We conduct a portion of our business pursuant to U.S. government contracts, which are subject to unique risks.
Contracts with the U.S. government are subject to extensive regulations. New regulations, or changes to existing regulations, could result in increased compliance costs, and we could be subject to withheld payments and/or reduced future business if we fail to comply with new or existing requirements in the future. Compliance costs attributable to current or future regulations such as these could negatively impact our financial condition and operating results.
Contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to a variety of other requirements and risks including government reviews, audits, investigations, False Claims Act cases, suspension and debarment as well as other legal actions and proceedings that generally do not apply to purely commercial contracts. In addition, transactions involving government contractors may be subject to government review and approvals. Failure to comply with these requirements or secure necessary approvals could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.
Risks Related to Our Finances and Operations
We have incurred significant losses since inception, we expect to incur losses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.
We have incurred significant losses since inception. We incurred net losses of $180.3 million and $114.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We have not yet started commercial operations, and it is difficult for us to predict our future operating results. As a result, our losses may be larger than anticipated, and we may not achieve profitability when expected, or at all, and even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase profitability.
We expect our operating expenses to increase over the next several years as we move towards commercial launch, streamline and expand our manufacturing operations, increase our flight cadence, hire more employees and continue research and development efforts relating to new products and technologies. These efforts may be
 
16

Table of Contents
more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. Any failure to increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow. Furthermore, if our future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if we have future negative cash flow or losses resulting from our investment in acquiring customers or expanding our operations, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will need additional capital in the future, including to build high-volume manufacturing, a fleet of our aircrafts and to develop a skyport network to support a high-volume service.
Our proposed operations contemplate significant manufacturing capacity, aircraft fleet and infrastructure development, including additional skyports where our aircraft can land, both within the United States and internationally. Construction of manufacturing facilities, skyports or other operating facilities may require significant capital expenditures, and in the future we may be required to make similar expenditures to expand or improve our operations.
In addition, as our facilities and aircraft mature, our business will require capital expenditures for the maintenance, renovation and improvement of such locations to remain competitive and maintain the value of our brand. This creates an ongoing need for capital, and, to the extent we cannot fund capital expenditures from cash flows from operations, we will need to borrow or otherwise obtain funds.
Prior to the consummation of the Merger, we financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through private financing rounds. In the future, we may need to raise capital through public or private financing or other arrangements. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. For example, the global
COVID-19
health crisis and related financial impact resulted in, and may result in, significant disruption and volatility of global financial markets that could adversely impact our ability to access capital. We may sell equity securities or debt securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner that may materially dilute our current investors. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could reduce our operational flexibility or profitability. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have broad discretion in how we use our assets, and we may not use them effectively.
Our management has broad discretion in the use of our assets, including capital raised. We may use capital for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, and we may acquire complementary businesses, products, offerings, or technologies. We may also spend or invest in a way with which our stockholders disagree. If our management fails to use our capital effectively, our business could be seriously harmed.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
As of December 31, 2021, Joby had approximately $448.9 million and $435.0 million of federal and state NOLs and $17.7 million and $16.3 million federal and state research and development tax credits. Under the Tax Cuts and JOBS Act, federal NOLs generated by the Company in tax years through December 31, 2017 may be carried forward for 20 years and may fully offset taxable income in the year utilized and federal NOLs generated by the Company in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely but may only be used to offset 80% of our taxable income annually. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its
pre-change
federal NOLs and other tax attributes (such as research and development tax credits) to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” occurs if there is a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in a corporation’s equity ownership by certain stockholders over a rolling three-year period. We may have experienced ownership changes in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership (some of which shifts are outside our control). As a result, our ability to use our
pre-change
federal NOLs and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income and taxes could be subject to limitations. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply. For these reasons, even if we achieve profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements in 2019 and 2020, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the lack of a sufficient full-time accounting personnel with deep technical accounting knowledge to execute, review and approve all aspects of the financial statement close and reporting process. This material weakness may not allow us to have proper segregation of duties and to close our books and records and report our results, including required disclosures, on a timely basis.
We are in the process of designing and implementing measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the material weakness, primarily by implementing additional review procedures within our accounting and finance department, hiring additional staff, designing more robust processes and controls and, where appropriate, engaging external accounting experts to supplement our internal resources in our computation and review processes. In 2021, we took steps to begin remediating the material weakness, including filling key accounting and finance positions and beginning to institute an Enterprise Resource Planning system. While we are designing and implementing measures to remediate the material weakness, we cannot predict the success of such measures or the outcome of our assessment of these measures at this time. We can give no assurance that these measures will remediate identified material weaknesses in internal control or that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that may lead to a restatement of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
As a public company, following the expiration of a transition period, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each annual report on Form
10-K
to be filed with the SEC. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting. Once we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will also be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in each annual report on Form
10-K
to be filed with the SEC. We will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we expect to need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring accounting or internal audit staff. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. We have begun the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, but we may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion.
We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties.
Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary intellectual property rights, including technologies deployed in our current or future aircraft or utilized in arranging air transportation. To date, we have relied primarily on patents and trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology. Our software is also subject to certain protection under copyright law, though we have chosen not to register any of our copyrights to date. We routinely enter into
non-disclosure
agreements with our employees, consultants, third parties and others and take other measures to protect our intellectual property rights, such as limiting access to our trade secrets and other confidential information. We intend to continue to rely on these and other means, including patent protection, in the future. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate, and unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our intellectual property or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. If successful, these attempts may harm our ability to compete, accelerate the development of our competitors’
 
18

Table of Contents
programs, and/or harm our competitive position in the market. Moreover, our
non-disclosure
agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to ours. Our competitors or third parties may not comply with the terms of these agreements, and we may not be able to successfully enforce such agreements or obtain sufficient remedies if they are breached. In addition, we accept government funding for the development of some intellectual property which may result in the government obtaining some rights in our intellectual property. The intellectual property rights we own or license may not provide competitive advantages and could be challenged or circumvented by our competitors.
Further, obtaining and maintaining patent, copyright, and trademark protection can be costly. We may choose not to, or may fail to, pursue or maintain such forms of protection for our technology in the United States or foreign jurisdictions, which could harm our ability to maintain our competitive advantage in such jurisdictions. It is also possible that we will fail to identify patentable aspects of our technology before it is too late to obtain patent protection, that we will be unable to devote the resources to file and prosecute all patent applications for such technology, or that we will inadvertently lose protection for failing to comply with all procedural, documentary, payment, and other obligations during the patent prosecution process. The laws of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights in some foreign countries may be inadequate to prevent other parties from infringing our proprietary technology. We may also fail to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property, or be required to expend significant resources to monitor and protect our intellectual property rights, including engaging in litigation, which may be costly, time-consuming, and divert the attention of management and resources, and may not ultimately be successful. If we fail to meaningfully establish, maintain, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If conflicts arise between us and our strategic partners, our business could be adversely affected, or these parties may act in a manner adverse to us.
If conflicts arise between our collaborators or strategic partners and us, the other party may act in a manner adverse to us which could limit our ability to implement our strategies. Our collaborators or strategic partners may develop, either alone or with others, products in related fields that are competitive with our products. Specifically, conflicts with Toyota Motor Corporation may adversely impact our ability to manufacture aircraft or scale production, while conflicts with Uber Technologies, Inc. may adversely impact our ability to successfully launch and maintain our consumer-facing UAM services. Conflicts with foreign partners may adversely impact our ability to scale operations outside the U.S. effectively. If such conflicts arise it may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may in the future invest significant resources in developing new offerings and exploring the application of our proprietary technologies for other uses and those opportunities may never materialize.
While our primary focus is on the design, manufacture and operation of our eVTOL aircraft and the related aerial mobility service, we may invest significant resources in developing new technologies, services, products and offerings. However, we may not realize the expected benefits of these investments.
Such research and development initiatives may also have a high degree of risk and involve unproven business strategies and technologies with which we have limited operating or development experience. They may involve claims and liabilities, expenses, regulatory challenges and other risks that we may not be able to anticipate. We may not be able to predict whether consumer demand for such initiatives will exist or be sustained at the levels that we anticipate, or whether any of these initiatives will generate sufficient revenue to offset any expenses or liabilities associated with these new investments. Any such research and development efforts could distract management from current operations and would divert capital and other resources from our more established technologies. Even if we are successful in developing new products, services, offerings or technologies, regulatory authorities may subject us to new rules or restrictions in response to our innovations that may increase our expenses or prevent us from successfully commercializing new products, services, offerings or technologies and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any material disruption in our information systems could adversely affect our business.
Our systems, or those of third-parties upon which we rely, may experience service interruptions, outages, or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, human error or intentional bad acts by
 
19

Table of Contents
third parties or our employees, contractors, or service providers, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, cyberattacks or other events. Our insurance may not be sufficient, and we may not have sufficient remedies available to us from our third-party service providers, to cover all of our losses that may result from such issues which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we or our third-party service providers experience a security breach, or if unauthorized parties otherwise obtain access to our customers’ data, our reputation may be harmed, demand for services may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities.
We rely on information technology networks and systems to operate and manage our business and store our confidential and proprietary information. Our services will also involve the storage, processing and transmission of our customers’ data, including personal and financial information. We also engage and plan to engage third-party service providers to store and process this data. While we believe we and our service providers take reasonable steps to secure these networks and systems, our information technology infrastructure may be vulnerable to computer viruses or physical or electronic intrusions that our security measures may not detect. Any such security incident, including those resulting from cybersecurity attacks, phishing attacks, unauthorized access or usage, virus or similar breach or disruption could result in the loss, destruction alteration or disclosure of this data, which could damage our reputation and lead to litigation, regulatory investigations, or other liabilities. These attacks may come from individual hackers, corporations, criminal groups, and state-sponsored organizations. Even the perception of inadequate security may damage our reputation and negatively impact our ability to win new customers and retain existing customers. Further, we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to address any data security incident or breach, which may not be fully covered by our insurance or at all, and which may involve payments for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations advice, system repair or replacement, or other services. Any actual or alleged security breaches or alleged violations of federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations relating to privacy and data security could result in mandated user notifications, litigation, government investigations, significant fines, and expenditures; divert management’s attention from operations; deter customers from using our services; damage our brand and reputation; force us to cease operations for some length of time; and materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to systems or networks are constantly evolving and, in some instances, are not identified until after they have been launched against a target. We and our service providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques, react in a timely manner, or implement adequate preventative and mitigating measures. If we are unable to efficiently and effectively maintain and upgrade our system safeguards, we may incur unexpected costs and certain of our systems may become more vulnerable to unauthorized access or disruption.
Our intended initial operations are concentrated in a small number of metropolitan areas and airports which makes our business particularly susceptible to natural disasters, outbreaks and pandemics, growth constraints, economic, social, weather, and regulatory conditions or other circumstances affecting these metropolitan areas.
We intend to initially service larger metropolitan areas that will be the source of the majority of our revenue. As a result, our business and financial results are particularly susceptible to natural disasters, outbreaks and pandemics, growth constraints, economic, social, weather, and regulatory conditions or other circumstances applicable to these metropolitan areas. Because we will initially have a limited number of locations, a significant interruption or disruption in service at an individual skyport or metropolitan area where we have a significant volume of flights could have a severe impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our concentration in large metropolitan areas and heavily trafficked airports also makes our business susceptible to an outbreak of a contagious disease, such as
COVID-19,
both due to the high volume of travelers flying into and out of such airports and the ease at which contagious diseases can spread through densely populated areas, as seen with the spread of
COVID-19.
Disruption of operations at skyports, whether caused by labor relations, utility or communications issues, power outages, or changes in federal, state and local regulatory requirements could harm our business. Certain airports may regulate our flight operations, including limiting the number of landings per year, banning our operations or introducing new permitting requirements, which could significantly disrupt our operations. In
 
20

Table of Contents
addition, demand for our advanced air mobility services could be impacted if drop-offs or
pick-ups
of passengers become inconvenient because of airport rules or regulations, or more expensive because of airport-imposed fees, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
We currently have subsidiaries located outside of the United States and plans for international operations in the future, which could subject us to operational and regulatory challenges.
While we plan to initially launch our business in the U.S. markets, we have established relationships with potential partners in select international markets to investigate potential future operations outside of the U.S. In addition, we currently have subsidiaries engaged in limited test manufacturing, R&D and other activities in foreign countries. International operations are subject to a number of risks, including regulations that may differ from or be more stringent than analogous U.S. regulations, local political or economic instability, challenges in effectively managing employees in foreign jurisdictions and exposure to potential liabilities under anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and similar laws and regulations. If any of these risks materialize it could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to risks arising from natural disasters and severe weather conditions and risks associated with climate change, including the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.
Natural disasters, including wildfires, tornados, hurricanes, floods and earthquakes, and severe weather conditions, may damage our manufacturing plants, facilities or aircraft or disrupt our operating routes. Our Bonny Doon facilities, in particular, have been placed at high risk due to wildfire. Our Bonny Doon facilities are also subject to a risk of closure due to zoning and permitting issues. Destruction or our inability to use any of our facilities for a prolonged period of time could materially impact our ability to meet our projected timelines.
The potential effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, fires,
sea-level
rise and other climate-related events, could affect our operations, infrastructure and financial results. We could incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such effects. We cannot accurately predict the materiality of any potential losses or costs associated with the effects of climate change.
We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, including interruptions or disruptions in service at our facilities, for which we may not be able to secure adequate insurance policies, or secure insurance policies at reasonable prices.
Our operations are subject to many hazards and operational risks, including general business risks, product liability and damage to third parties, our infrastructure or properties that may be caused by natural disasters, power losses, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks (including hijacking, use of the aircraft as a weapon, or use of the aircraft to disperse a chemical or biological agent), security related incidents or human errors. Additionally, our manufacturing operations are hazardous at times and may expose us to safety risks, including environmental risks and health and safety hazards to our employees or third parties.
We maintain general liability insurance, aviation flight testing insurance, aircraft liability coverage, D&O insurance, and other insurance policies and we believe our level of coverage is customary in the industry and adequate to protect against claims. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance will be sufficient to cover all potential claims or that present levels of coverage will be available in the future at reasonable cost or at all. Further, we expect our insurance needs and costs to increase as we build production facilities, manufacture aircraft, establish commercial operations, add routes, increase flight and passenger volumes and expand into new markets. It is too early to determine what impact, if any, the commercial operation of eVTOLs will have on our insurance costs which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and result of operations.
We are dependent on our senior management team and other highly skilled personnel, including pilots and mechanics, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining these personnel.
Our success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of our senior management team and on our ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of other highly skilled personnel. While the current labor market has not materially impacted our ability to hire key personnel, there is a high level of competition in the markets in which we operate.
 
21

Table of Contents
In addition, there is a shortage of pilots that is expected to exacerbate over time as more pilots in the industry approach mandatory retirement age. Trained and qualified aircraft mechanics are also in short supply. Our service is dependent on recruiting and retaining qualified pilots and mechanics, either or both of which may be difficult due to the corresponding personnel shortages. We compete against airlines and other air mobility and transportation services for pilots and other skilled labor, some of which will offer wages or benefit packages exceeding ours. The loss of any of the members of our senior management team or other highly skilled personnel, or our inability to hire, train, and retain qualified pilots and mechanics could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our growth plans.
Our business may be adversely affected by union activities.
Although none of our employees are currently represented by a labor union, it is common throughout the aerospace and airline industries for employees to belong to a union, which can result in higher employee costs and an increased risk of work stoppages. As we expand our business our employees could join or form a labor union and we could be required to become a union signatory. We are also directly or indirectly dependent upon companies with unionized work forces, such as parts suppliers, and work stoppages or strikes organized by such unions could delay the manufacture of our aircraft or disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Additional Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile.
The price of our common stock has been volatile and will likely continue to fluctuate due to a variety of factors. The stock market in general, and the market for
pre-revenue
technology companies in particular, has had and may continue to have significant price and volume fluctuations. The market for our common stock may continue to be influenced by events or occurrences including: changes to the regulations that impact our business or adverse decisions by regulators; our ability to develop the market we expect for UAM services, whether due to competition, market acceptance, performance, pricing or other factors; manufacturing and operational challenges; our failure to meet financial projections or manage our cash; actions by shareholders, including the sale of a large volume of shares or campaigns by activist investors or short-sellers; actions taken by our competitors; and public perception of our business and our industry as a whole.
These factors, along with the occurrence of any of the risk factors described in this prospectus, many of which are not within our control, could cause the price of our common stock to decline materially, regardless of our operating performance.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future decision to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors.
If analysts do not publish research about our business or if they publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us, our business, our market and our competitors. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, provide more favorable recommendations about our competitors or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock would likely decline. If few analysts cover us, or if analysts who cover us cease coverage or fail to publish regular reports, demand for our common stock could decrease and our common stock price and trading volume may decline.
We may be subject to securities litigation, activist investors and short-selling campaigns, which are expensive and could divert management attention.
The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have, in the past, been subject to securities class action litigation, activist investor campaigns and short-selling. We may be the target of these types of activities in the
 
22

Table of Contents
future, any for which could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.
Future resales of common stock may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly.
Certain Joby stockholders are contractually restricted from selling or transferring shares of common stock (the
“Lock-up
Shares”) for an agreed-upon period of time. For example, certain significant stockholders have agreed to a five-year lockup, with 20% of the
Lock-up
Shares being released on each anniversary of the closing of the Merger, subject to provisions that allow for early release of the initial 20% tranche if stock price targets are met prior to the first anniversary, and a complete release of the
Lock-Up
Shares if the Company undergoes a change of control (the “Major Company Equityholders
Lock-Up
Agreement”). Under the Sponsor Agreement, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and RTP, the Sponsor’s
Lock-up
Shares are subject to the same releases agreed to in the Major Company Equityholders’
Lock-Up
Agreement in addition to vesting conditions. In addition, our executive management have agreed to a
one-year
lockup, with similar early release provisions (the “Other Company Equityholders
Lock-Up
Agreement”). Following the expiration of each lockup, the applicable stockholders will no longer be restricted from selling shares of our common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. As of February 28, 2022, there were approximately 379,726,431 shares subject to the Major Company Equityholders
Lock-Up
Agreement and 671,507 shares subject to the Other Company Equityholders
Lock-Up
Agreement. As restrictions on resale end, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in our share price or the market price of our common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we continue to take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. We have, and may continue to, take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We anticipate that we will lose our emerging growth company status in connection with filings made after the end of fiscal year 2022.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the relevant accounting standards. A company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies we can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt it. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that has adopted the new or revised standard because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation
S-K.
Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We anticipate that we will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of fiscal year 2022. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.
If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

BUSINESS
Overview
Our vision is to save a billion people an hour every day by delivering a new form of clean and quiet aerial transportation. Building on recent advancements in energy storage, microelectronics and software, we’re developing an
all-electric
aircraft that will transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, while also having the ability to take off and land vertically. We have been working towards this vision for 10 years, including significant prototyping and development. This is not an easy journey. The journey to create a new industry and transform the way people travel will be filled with unexpected challenges. At this time, we are testing prototype aircraft and refining designs to meet the demanding standards that we have set out to deliver. We are also embarking on aircraft certification and developing production processes to adhere to the guidelines of the FAA . While we have agreed with the FAA on the basis for our type certification through the
G-1
issue paper, we still are in the process of testing and refining our designs to achieve our FAA type and production certifications that will be required to commercialize operations. This process is expected to continue through at least 2023. Successfully operating a commercial service will also require having a Part 135 operating license, which we are in the process of developing the standards, procedures and training to support. We are also developing, testing and refining our processes for each step of component and aircraft production to support scaling effectively to supply required aircraft for service.
We intend to operate our aircraft on journeys of 5 to 150 miles, providing rapid and cost-effective connections between cities and their surrounding areas. Compared to traditional ground-based infrastructure such as road and rail, aerial ridesharing networks can be set up rapidly, and at a significantly lower cost, enabling us to provide a sustainable solution to today’s dual challenges of congestion and climate change.
By combining the freedom of air travel with the efficiency of our aircraft, we expect to deliver journeys that are up to 5 times faster than driving, and it is our goal to steadily drive down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch to make the service widely accessible.
Our aircraft has been specifically designed to achieve a considerably lower noise footprint than that of today’s conventional aircraft or helicopters. It is quiet at takeoff and near silent when flying overhead, which we anticipate will allow us to operate from new skyport locations nearer to where people live and work, in addition to utilizing the more than 5,000 heliport and airport infrastructure facilities already in existence in the U.S. alone.
To date, we have completed more than 1,000 test flights and believe we are the first eVTOL developer to have agreed to a signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis from the FAA. We believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn the airworthiness certification required to start commercial operations.
We do not intend to sell these aircraft to independent third parties or individual consumers. Instead, we will manufacture, own and operate our aircraft ourselves, or with partners, building a vertically integrated transportation company that will deliver a convenient
app-based
aerial ridesharing service directly to
end-users.
We believe this business model will generate the greatest economic returns, while providing us with
end-to-end
control over the customer experience to optimize for customer safety, comfort and value. To
de-risk
this ambitious model, we have established partnerships with leading companies such as Toyota and Uber as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Air Force.
The emerging UAM annual market value is projected to exceed $500 billion in the U.S. alone according to Booz Allen Hamilton’s 2018 Urban Air Mobility Market Study. By leveraging our vertically integrated business model, technological differentiation and
best-in-class
strategic relationships, we believe we have an historic opportunity to define a new market for sustainable daily mobility, enabling people to rethink the way they move in and around metropolitan areas and the rural communities that surround them.

The Emerging Urban Air Mobility Market
Ground-Based Transportation Networks Are Under Strain
Population growth and urbanization are powerful megatrends that are stretching ground-based transportation infrastructure to its limits. Today, more than fifty percent of the world’s 7.8 billion people live in urban areas.
The top ten megacities alone are home to more than 300 million inhabitants, and the UN predicts that by 2050 the world’s urban population will grow by an additional 2.5 billion people. We expect these multi-decade and multi-century trends to continue
post-COVID-19
pandemic. Transportation is the life-blood of urban areas, and population growth combined with increased urbanization will continue to push this infrastructure to the brink.
According to recent research, the cost of traffic congestion to the U.S. economy alone was more than $190 billion in 2019. The same study found that, in the top 15 metro areas alone, automobile commuters spent an aggregate of 4.69 billion hours per year in traffic congestion and burned an extra 1.83 billion gallons of fuel.
Expanding ground-based networks to address congestion and move people cost-effectively through cities has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible. The cost of transportation infrastructure has consistently outpaced inflation over the past fifty years, putting an ever-increasing strain on national, regional and municipal budgets. New light rail lines cost more than $100 million per mile in the U.S. and routinely exceed twice that number. A new four-lane freeway in an urban area can exceed $250 million per mile, and moving beneath the surface to expand our subway networks is even more expensive, with new subway lines typically costing nearly a $1 billion per mile or more. These ground-based networks can’t scale efficiently, and the costs are prohibitive. We believe that cities need a new, sustainable mobility solution.
Extending the Electrification of Transportation to the Skies
Developing sustainable mobility solutions has never been more needed given the threat that climate change poses to our communities and to our planet. According to the EPA, the top source of CO2 emissions in the U.S. is the transportation sector. Any solution to current and future transportation demands must embrace sustainability.
Over the past two decades, improvements in
lithium-ion
batteries and power electronics alongside the ever-increasing performance of microelectronics have enabled the development and deployment of new sustainable energy and transportation solutions. The success of electric ground vehicles have fueled continued investments in improving these technologies. Battery energy densities, in particular, have improved enough that application to aviation is now practical.
We expect the electrification of transportation to accelerate and extend to the skies in the decade ahead, representing a bright spot where technology, economy and sustainability converge. Applying electrification to

small aircraft unlocks new degrees of freedom in aircraft design that were not possible with traditional, combustion engines. In particular, using multiple small electric motors distributed electric propulsion rather than a single central engine enables a new class of quiet, safe, and economical vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that were previously not possible.
 
A New Type of Local Transportation Network
Deploying these aircraft through the business model of
app-driven,
on-demand
mobility that has been validated by ridesharing companies globally will provide a revolutionary new method of daily transportation. The low noise, operating costs and carbon emissions enabled by the
all-electric
powertrain, combined with the ability to take off and land vertically, unlocks aerial access to urban cores. We believe this will result in a new market for high-volume aerial mobility in and around cities and the rural communities that surround them. We believe this new solution will enable people to not just rethink how they get around on a daily basis, but also provide greater freedom to choose where they call home relative to the economic, cultural and social opportunities that have historically drawn people together.
We intend to deploy our eVTOL aircraft in local aerial ridesharing networks in cities around the world. Operating
point-to-point
in and around cities, these new aerial networks will sidestep the major problems of cost and scale that plague all ground-based networks as described above. Fundamentally, an aerial mobility network is nodal vs. the path-based nature of ground mobility. Each new node added to the network adds connectivity to all the other nodes, whereas each new mile of road, rail, or tunnel only extends one single route by one mile. In a nodal network, a linear increase in the number of nodes leads to an exponential increase in the number of connections. This critical scaling feature is what has allowed commercial aviation to connect the world, and we believe that we can use the same principle to bring new levels of connectivity to cities.
 
Massive Untapped Market Opportunity
We believe that deploying a new type of aerial mobility network in cities represents an extensive market opportunity that we expect to expand over time, as the megatrend of urbanization is being felt globally. In

addition, the challenges associated with getting in and out of city centers can make frequent, casual travel between city pairs such as New York and Philadelphia impractical. We expect that streamlining this experience will open up previously untapped sources of latent demand, much the same way that the development of modern jetliners unlocked latent demand for transatlantic travel.
Leading investment banks and consulting firms have recently assessed the scale of this market. Booz Allen Hamilton estimates a potential annual market value of $500 billion for an Airport Shuttle and Air Taxi services in the U.S. alone, while McKinsey and Deloitte identify similar substantial growth opportunities including applications that provide air mobility across various commercial, civil, and defense use cases. We believe this opportunity is replicable globally and remains largely untapped.
Our Business Strategy
Our Aerial Ridesharing Service
We intend to build an aerial ridesharing service powered by a network of eVTOL aircraft that we will manufacture and operate. We plan to develop an
app-based
platform that will permit consumers to book rides directly through our service. We will also integrate access to our service into leading third-party demand aggregation platforms, including through our partnership with Uber. Whether our service is accessed through our own platform, or through a partner app like Uber, we will tightly integrate ground transportation providers for the first and last mile with our aerial service, providing a seamless travel experience.
We refer to trips that tightly integrate air and ground legs together as ‘multimodal’. By building network management software that efficiently sequences multimodal trips, we believe we can provide substantial time savings to travelers while coordinating the development of optimally-located skyport infrastructure. Additionally, we intend to develop software that will coordinate multiple riders into each air leg, allowing us to drive high utilization rates and load factor for our aircraft and, in turn, progressive reduction in
end-user
pricing.
We believe that our
app-based
aerial ridesharing service will be fast, convenient, comfortable, environmentally sustainable and, over time, progressively more affordable. By maintaining full control over the design, development, test, manufacture and operations of our aircraft, we intend to deliver a service that is optimized from beginning to end, positioning us to be the leading company in this market.

Our vertically integrated business model ensures we aren’t simply manufacturing aircraft for sale and receiving
one-time
revenues, but instead generating recurring revenues over the lifetime of the aircraft with corresponding benefits to contribution margin.
The Most Capable Aircraft for Aerial Ridesharing
Our team of world-class engineers, has been working for more than a decade to develop an aircraft specifically designed for aerial ridesharing. Over that period, we have built a team that is deeply committed to vertically integrated engineering, testing, prototyping and manufacturing.
In-housing
the development of much of the aircraft has required greater
up-front
investment in R&D, however it has allowed us to develop systems and components that are specifically engineered for their intended application. We believe this has resulted in an aircraft with
best-in-class
capabilities across key performance metrics, while reducing reliance on program critical third-party suppliers that add cost to the final product and risk to development and certification schedules.
 
When designing the aircraft, we prioritized three areas that we believe are central to unlocking high-volume aerial ridesharing: (i) safety, (ii) noise and (iii) performance.
 
   
Safety
:
By utilizing distributed electric propulsion rather than centrally-located internal combustion engines, we’re able to deliver a fault-tolerant overall architecture for the aircraft. Each propeller is powered by two independent electric motors, each in turn driven by independent electric motor drive-units. Each drive-unit draws power from one of four separate batteries onboard the aircraft.
This emphasis on redundancy is extended to other critical subsystems of the aircraft, including the flight computers, control surfaces, communications network and actuators. The result is a design intended to have no single points of failure across aircraft systems.
While these advancements in technology contribute to the overall safety of the aircraft, we recognize that safely delivering a commercial aviation operation requires both organizational and cultural commitments. We’ve made safety a core value, and we actively promote that value across the team.
Given our intent to both manufacture and operate our aircraft, we are developing a comprehensive, vertically-integrated SMS, covering aircraft, manufacturing, operations, maintenance and flight training. Through the enterprise approach, SMS interfaces will facilitate the exchange of information between operational entities to continuously improve the safety of our aircraft and operations.
 
   
Noise
:
Developing an aircraft with a low noise footprint that allows for regular operations within metropolitan areas is important to community acceptance. In addition to the benefits afforded by an
all-electric
powertrain, we’ve spent substantial engineering resources to reduce the noise signature of the aircraft even further. The result is an aircraft that is
100-times
quieter than a twin-engine helicopter,
 
30

Table of Contents
 
exhibiting a noise profile in the range of 65 dBA during takeoff and landing (the noisiest configuration), roughly the volume of a normal speaking voice. In over-head flight, the aircraft is near silent at even 500ft to 1,000ft flyover.
 
   
Performance
:
Our commitment to vertical integration and
in-house
development has allowed for optimization of systems and components across the aircraft, resulting in better energy efficiency, range, and speed than what would otherwise be available using COTS componentry. Our aircraft demonstrates energy efficiency comparable to
best-in-class
electric ground vehicles on a watt-hour per passenger seat mile basis across most trip distances, and greater efficiency leads to longer range. We believe that our maximum
150-mile
range on a single charge and 200 mph cruise speed represent
best-in-class
performance specifications. This range and speed not only allow us to service a more diverse set of passengers and trips, but it also increases the time-savings of our service and results in greater operational flexibility and reduced operating costs.
The end result is a transformational new electric aircraft that is uniquely capable of pioneering this exciting new market - all with a minimal environmental footprint.
The innovations that we’ve produced to deliver this
best-in-class
performance are supported by extensive proprietary intellectual property and defended by a robust patent portfolio. Over more than a decade of development, we have generated more than 100 U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, including broad fundamental patents around the architecture of our aircraft and the core technologies that enable our
best-in-class
performance. We intend to continue to build our IP portfolio with respect to the technologies that we develop and refine.
First to FAA Certification
In addition to having developed an aircraft design with
best-in-class
performance, we expect to be the first company to receive FAA type certification and be first to introduce large-scale commercial operations with an eVTOL aircraft. In the U.S., new aircraft designs are required to pass through the rigorous FAA design certification process, known as type certification, before the aircraft can be issued a standard airworthiness certificate to fly in the NAS. This is an exacting process often extending over 5 or more years that require extensive ground and
in-flight
testing with FAA scientists, engineers and flight test pilots across a fleet of multiple aircraft.
We believe that we are further along in this type certification process than any of our direct competitors. From the very beginning, we designed our aircraft to meet the criteria of FAA Part 23 as a normal category piloted electric airplane, which can also take off and land vertically. We have been flying full-scale prototypes of our aircraft through the full transition flight envelope since 2017, conducting tests and gathering data. In parallel, we’ve been working with the FAA to establish the specific design criteria that apply to this aircraft. In 2020, the FAA provided us with a signed, stage 4 certification basis (known within the industry as a
G-1).
The
G-1
certification basis is an agreement with the FAA on the set of tests that need to be done at the component and vehicle level to prove the safety of the aircraft and receive type certification. A
G-1
(stage 4) certification basis provides us with a clear path to certify our aircraft design. To our knowledge we are the first company developing a comparable aircraft to have reached this important milestone.
In addition to receiving the signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis, we believe that we were also the first company developing eVTOL aircraft to receive airworthiness approval from the U.S. Air Force.
With a mature design based on more than 1,000 test flights to date, we are well on our way towards certification and engage with the FAA on a daily basis to perform the hard work and testing required to earn FAA type certification prior to our 2024 commercial launch goal.
We maintain a flight log as part of our flight test program. A typical flight test program takes place over several years and is centered around a process called “envelope expansion” – gradually working the aircraft
 
31

Table of Contents
through a variety of flight conditions, while incrementally increasing speed, range, altitude and other performance characteristics until the target specifications are met. In the early stages of the envelope expansion process, a successful test flight may be little more than a brief hover just a few feet off the ground. As the flight test program progresses, however, the flights become increasingly higher, faster and longer range. Accordingly, we record a successful test flight based on completion of the desired test objective, rather than based on a particular duration. Our first 2.0 full-scale prototype aircraft, version 1.0 full-scale prototype aircraft and its
sub-scale
models have successfully progressed the test flight program from early hovers, the transition to wing-borne flight and through a systematic progression of expanding the flight envelope. Generally, these flight tests are performed on a remote-piloted basis with the aircraft controlled by an
on-the-ground
flight test pilot as a safety precautions.
While the number of test flights performed by our competitors is not broadly publicized, we believe that the number of successful flights, amount of time spent flight testing and the level of maturity of our flight test program compare favorably to the development and testing programs of competitive aircraft. We believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn the airworthiness certification required to start commercial operations.
The Company has a dedicated team of more than 100 aerospace certification professionals with more than 1,700 years of combined experience in certifying and developing aircraft. Greg Bowles, who chaired the FAA Rulemaking Committee that rewrote more than 800 Part 23 regulations, leads our government and regulatory affairs, while Didier Papadopoulos leads our systems engineering and aircraft certification program. Previously, Didier led the team that certified the revolutionary “Autoland” feature at Garmin, winning the team the Collier Trophy which is presented annually for the “greatest achievement in aeronautics in America.”
We expect the FAA type certificate will be reciprocated internationally pursuant to the bilateral agreements between the FAA and its counterpart civil aviation authorities. This will provide a means of efficient international expansion as we develop commercial operations around the world.
FAA certification of new aircraft designs is hard and time consuming. There are no shortcuts, and it takes years to develop the team and the expertise needed to develop a certification basis with the FAA. While the agreement with the FAA for our
G-1
certification basis has blazed a trail for others to follow, each certification basis is unique to the specific aircraft. The companies in our industry that are following our lead will also need to put in the hard work to develop the team and work independently with the FAA to solidify their own path to certification.
Capitalize on First Mover Advantage
In order to achieve our vision of saving a billion people an hour a day, we will need to deliver a transformational service at a price point that is economically accessible. We believe that being first to market with the right aircraft will provide important first mover advantages that will enable us to steadily drive down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch. Emerging technologies often benefit from positive network effects as the product or service enters the market, and we expect this to hold true for aerial ridesharing. As additional passengers enter the network, utilization rates for our aircraft will increase, thereby improving unit economics and allowing costs to be amortized over a greater number of trips. At the same time, reductions in per aircraft costs driven by greater manufacturing scale can support progressively lower pricing while maintaining similar per aircraft unit profitability. A combination of these local network effects coupled with the economies of scale in manufacturing allow us to estimate that by 2026 we will be able to offer the service at a cost of $3 per passenger mile, with opportunities to drive that
end-user
pricing down even further over time.
We expect this will result in a virtuous cycle. As additional passengers enter the network, we will be able to support the establishment of new routes and infrastructure, further increasing the value and utility of the service to the passengers using it. We believe this will position us to capture customer mindshare and establish a trusted, recognized brand that will keep passengers returning to the service and further reinforce these positive network effects.
 
32

Table of Contents
Since the certification basis for new aircraft is determined on an
aircraft-by-aircraft
basis, the rigorous multi-year certification process requires a substantial investment of both time and capital by competitors, limiting their ability to rapidly enter the market. We believe this provides for an extended window in which to enjoy the benefits of the networks effects outlined above. The FAA certification process also requires a substantial investment of both time and capital for competitors to modify their designs or technologies to match the
best-in-class
performance of our aircraft. We believe this will make the first mover advantage particularly meaningful in the aerial ridesharing market.
Finally, we believe that network effects, combined with our strong engineering function, will provide a robust base for investments in next generation technologies such as autonomy and improvements in battery energy density. Accelerating the development, or otherwise capturing the benefits of improvements in these technologies will provide another lever for improving unit economics and driving down
end-user
pricing, precipitating the next cycle of network effects.
Compelling Unit Economics with Quick Payback Period
From the early design stage, we’ve been focused on developing an aircraft that delivers compelling unit economics. First, we expect the fault-tolerant architecture of the aircraft, combined with a design intended to have no single point of failure across aircraft systems, will result in substantially lower maintenance costs and down times relative to existing aircraft. Second, with a top speed nearly double that of conventional helicopters, we will be able to deliver faster operating speeds and amortize fixed and variable costs over a greater number of passenger seat miles. Finally, by being
all-electric,
the aircraft operates with substantially lower fuel costs relative to conventionally fueled alternatives. These low maintenance costs, low fuel costs and high operating speeds combine to deliver an operating cost projected to be 1/4th of the cost per mile flown as a twin engine helicopter.
On a per plane basis, at a price point of $3.00 per seat mile by 2026, we anticipate each aircraft will generate approximately $2.2 million of net revenue, which when combined with the
all-in
favorable unit cost profile, will generate approximately $1.0 million of earnings. This creates an attractive payback period of just 1.3 years for an aircraft with a projected
10-year
service life, and demonstrates the compelling opportunity we have to increase scale.
Develop Partnerships to Reduce Risk
We believe that our strategic relationships provide us with another point of competitive differentiation. Across each of the important activities of high-volume manufacturing,
go-to-market
strategy and
pre-certification
operations, we have established strong collaborations and relationships with Toyota, Uber and the U.S. Government to help to
de-risk
our commercial strategy.
Toyota Motor Corporation
Toyota has invested nearly $400 million in Joby to date, making Toyota our largest outside investor. However, the collaboration goes beyond pure financial backing. Toyota engineers are working shoulder to shoulder with their Joby counterparts on a daily basis across collaboration projects such as factory planning and layout, manufacturing process development and design for manufacturability.
The production volumes that we are targeting for our aircraft are closer to the volumes associated with the automotive industry than traditional aerospace manufacturing. Capturing economies of scale in both production and operations is an important component of our strategy to deliver a global mobility service that steadily drives down
end-user
pricing in the years following commercial launch.
We believe that our collaboration with Toyota has provided and continues to provide us with a significant competitive advantage as we design and build out our high-volume manufacturing capability. In addition to being
 
33

Table of Contents
the world’s largest automaker, Toyota is globally recognized for delivering quality, safety and reliability at scale, all of which are necessary characteristics in aerospace manufacturing. We believe this makes Toyota a strong collaboration partner as we continue to develop our high-volume manufacturing capabilities.
Uber Technologies, Inc.
We believe that our partnership with Uber Technologies, Inc. and our acquisition of Uber’s Elevate business, provides us with two important competitive advantages in our
go-to-market
planning and execution. First, through our acquisition of Elevate we were able to welcome approximately 40 experienced team members from Uber, along with a set of software tools focused on planning and operations the Elevate team had developed over several years. The planning tools we acquired enable higher fidelity decision-making on market selection, infrastructure siting, demand simulation and multi-modal operations, and are supported by underlying mobility data sets that feed these software tools. The operational tools we acquired were developed to support the Uber Copter service, a multi-modal aerial ridesharing service run by Uber in late 2019 and early 2020. We also acquired a portfolio of 5 issued or allowed patents and 74 pending patent applications, many of which relate to aerial rideshare technology such as fleet and infrastructure utilization, routing, air traffic coordination, app technology, and takeoff and landing infrastructure. We believe the acquisition of Elevate positions us to make uniquely informed, data-driven decisions in the lead up to commercial launch, as well as accelerating our operational readiness.
Second, the collaboration agreement that we entered into with Uber at the closing of the Elevate acquisition expanded our earlier 2019 collaboration agreement, and provides for the integration of our aerial ridesharing service into the Uber app across all U.S. launch markets. We believe this will provide a
best-in-class
platform to funnel demand to our aerial ridesharing service, while allowing us to reduce customer acquisition costs in the early years of commercial operations. Uber will also be reciprocally integrated into any future Joby Aviation mobile application on a
non-exclusive
basis to service the ground-based component of multi-modal journeys booked by customers through our application. The goal of this mutual integration is to ensure passengers can access a multi-modal travel experience, seamlessly transitioning from
ground-to-air-to-ground
with unified,
one-click
booking.
U.S. Air Force
In December of 2020, we became, to our knowledge, the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, and in the first quarter of 2021 we officially began
on-base
operations under contract pursuant to the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program. Our multi-year relationship with the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies provides us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch. We believe it will also provide an opportunity to test various aspects of the consumer-facing aerial ridesharing service. By operating our aircraft on U.S. military installations on a contractor-owned, contractor-operated model, we expect to gain valuable insight that will result in a more reliable service at launch.
In addition to the operational learnings, our existing contracts also provide for more than $40 million of payments through 2024 based upon full performance, and we are actively pursuing additional contracts and relationships that would increase these
on-base
operations going forward.
In addition to the strategic relationships outlined above, we continue to pursue and develop strategic partnerships with key stakeholders across the eVTOL value chain. We maintain regular dialogue with regulatory bodies and aviation authorities (domestic and international), cities and municipalities, real estate and infrastructure partners, and transportation service providers, to name a few.

Future Market Opportunities
We believe there are opportunities to address markets that are adjacent to our core mobility business, including delivery and logistics as well as emergency services. We may make select forward investments to better address these market adjacencies over time.
We further believe that developments in advanced flight controls, battery technologies and alternative methods of energy storage could have a meaningful impact on our core mobility business. Advanced flight controls, including additional “pilot assist” features and, in time, fully-autonomous flight, may allow us to drive-down cost and lower customer pricing as well as relieve operational constraints to service scale. Improvements in battery technology or alternative methods of energy storage may allow us to increase the range, speed and/or payload of our vehicles, dramatically expanding the range of trips and
use-cases
we can serve.
We are now investing and will continue to invest strategically in these areas to ensure that we are well-positioned to capture the benefits offered by these new developments. In certain cases, we expect that Joby may lead development and deployment efforts within our industry.
Our Regulatory Strategy
Over the near-term, our priorities will include support for the FAA certification process and policy engagements with decision makers and communities.
FAA Certification Process
There can be no compromise on safety, and aircraft designed to carry people are certified against the FAA’s stringent safety criteria. Our aircraft is no exception.
In contrast to
non-passenger
carrying drones, which have been allowed to fly without design certification provided they do not put people on the ground at risk, our business is required to comply with FAA regulations governing aircraft airworthiness and installation, production and quality systems, repair procedures and continuing operational safety. Outside the U.S., similar requirements exist for airworthiness, installation and operational approvals. These requirements are generally administered by the national aviation authorities of each country.
Design Certification
The aircraft design certification process, known as type certification, allows for the manufacture of aircraft meeting the approved design to be issued a standard airworthiness certificate in order to fly in the National Airspace System.
The design intent of our aircraft is to meet the criteria of FAA part 23 as a normal category piloted electric airplane that can also take off and land vertically. We began working with the FAA in 2017 to establish the specific design criteria that would apply to the aircraft. In 2020 the FAA provided us with a signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis that provides a clear path to certify the aircraft design.
The
G-1
certification basis for our aircraft was built on a foundation of more than 1,000 test flights completed across various prototypes, including the world’s first transition flight of a full-scale, vectored thrust, eVTOL in 2017. Recent advances in technology allow for the majority of test flights to be remotely piloted from the ground, although short piloted hover flights of our aircraft were completed in 2020. We anticipate we will initially certify the aircraft for day and night VFR operations and we will quickly amend the design to include IFR capabilities.
To date we believe we have removed a large amount of unknown risk from the certification program through years of work with the FAA. Our path to certification leverages a majority of existing processes,

Table of Contents
procedures and standards. Our certification team has continued to progress the means of compliance (how we will show compliance) and to work on defining tests and analysis that will be utilized to prove compliance to the FAA based upon the agreed to certification basis.
Production Certification
Aviation manufacturing businesses are heavily regulated in most markets. As we ramp up production, we expect to interact with numerous U.S. government agencies and entities, including but not limited to the FAA, with respect to certification of our production and quality systems. We are developing the systems and processes needed to obtain FAA production certification, and intend to obtain our production certificate shortly following completion of our aircraft type certificate. We believe there are opportunities to leverage advanced manufacturing techniques such as additive manufacturing to further improve the performance of the aircraft. However, we also appreciate that the certification of unconventional production processes adds additional risk to our program. As a result, we have ensured that our aircraft can be produced utilizing conventional aerospace manufacturing techniques in the event additively manufactured components or other advanced production processes cannot be certified expediently.
Operating Certification
The DOT and the FAA exercise regulatory authority over air transportation operations in the U.S. Our intended transportation service is expected to be regulated by the Federal Aviation Regulations, including Part 135. Air carriers holding Part 135 operations specifications can conduct
on-demand
operations, which may include limited scheduled operations. If such an air carrier receives a commuter air carrier authorization from DOT, the air carrier may provide unlimited scheduled operations as well as
on-demand
operations.
Our operations may also be subject to certain provisions of the Communications Act of 1934 because of their extensive use of radio and other communication facilities, and we may be required to obtain an aeronautical radio license from the FCC. To the extent we are subject to FCC requirements, we will take all necessary steps to comply with those requirements. Our operations may become subject to additional federal requirements in the future under certain circumstances. We are also subject to state and local laws and regulations at locations where we operate and may become subject to the regulations of various local authorities that operate airports we intend to operate from.
Airspace Integration
The aircraft has been designed to be operated under current flight rules and regulations with a qualified pilot in command onboard the aircraft.
As the density of air traffic increases, we believe there are opportunities to expand ground infrastructure and create air traffic efficiencies. Over time, we anticipate the importance of working with the FAA, local authorities and other stakeholders to identify and develop procedures along high demand routes to support increased scale and operational tempo. Constructs for operating along those routes may include specific airspace corridors like those outlined by the FAA. In the long term, digital clearance deliveries, airspace authorizations and automated coordination between service providers and operators may be required to further increase airspace scalability. We expect to continue to be involved in long-term activities to develop community-based concepts and technologies (for example those led by NASA and the FAA) to further enable scaling towards mature and autonomous operations.
Policy Engagements with Decision Makers & Communities
Providing a successful air transportation service requires collaboration with local communities to assure the services provide the right solutions in the right locations. We plan to grow our engagement at the state and local levels within the U.S. and with key international partners in the coming years.

Table of Contents
While the regulation of the aircraft and its operation with the NAS falls within the purview of the FAA, takeoff and landing locations often require state and local approval for zoning and land use. In many cases, existing airports and heliports are subject to regulations by local authorities.
Noise Regulations
Our aircraft has been designed to minimize noise to enable access not only to existing aviation infrastructure, but to also allow for operations in and out of new skyports that are nearer to where people want to live and work. At our noisiest configuration, the aircraft has a noise profile in the range of 65 dBA, roughly the volume of a normal talking voice. Given our low noise profile, we do not expect our operations to be constrained to
on-airport
operations.
The Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 recognizes the rights of operators of airports to implement noise and access restrictions so long as such programs do not interfere unreasonably with interstate or foreign commerce or the national air transportation system. In addition, states and local municipalities are able to set ordinances for zoning and land use, which may include noise or other restrictions such as curfews. Finally, foreign governments may allow airports and/or municipalities to enact similar restrictions. Accordingly, minimizing the volume and characteristics of noise within and above communities has been an important focus for us in order to drive community acceptance.
Intellectual Property
Our success depends in part upon our ability to protect our core technology and intellectual property. To establish and protect our proprietary rights, we rely on a combination of intellectual property rights (e.g., patents, patent applications, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, including
know-how
and expertise) and contracts (e.g., license agreements, confidentiality and
non-disclosure
agreements with third parties, employee and contractor disclosure and invention assignment agreements, and other similar contractual rights).
As of February 10, 2022, we have 123 issued or allowed patents (of which 108 are U.S. filings) and 179 pending patent applications (of which 92 are U.S. filings) primarily related to eVTOL vehicle technology and UAM/aerial rideshare technology. We regularly file patent applications and from time to time acquire patents from third parties.
Our patent filings include 43 issued or allowed patents and 122 pending patent applications relating to our aircraft, its architecture, powertrain, acoustics, energy storage and distribution systems, flight control system and system resiliency, as well as certain additional aircraft configurations and technologies. Pursuant to our acquisition of Uber Elevate, we acquired 5 issued or allowed patents and 74 pending patent applications, many of which relate to aerial rideshare technology, such as fleet and infrastructure utilization, routing, air traffic coordination and UAM rideshare app technology, as well as certain additional aircraft, battery and UAM infrastructure technology.
Our Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Leadership
By developing an efficient,
all-electric
aircraft with no operating emissions, a low noise footprint and high levels of safety, we believe we can make a meaningful contribution to tackling the dual challenges of congestion and climate change. We are building a dedicated, diverse and inclusive workforce to achieve this goal while adhering to best practices in risk assessment, mitigation and corporate governance. We plan to report how we oversee and manage ESG factors material to our business, and also evaluate how our ESG objectives align with elements of the United Nations SDGs. Our ESG initiative is organized into three pillars, which, in turn, contain focus areas for our attention and action:
 
   
Environmental - Our Environmental pillar is focused on being a good steward of the natural environment through the production and development of innovative designs that reduce resource use and energy consumption.
 
37

Table of Contents
   
Social - Our Social pillar is focused on promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, while underpinning all of our activities with a core focus on health and safety.
 
   
Governance - Our Governance pillar focuses on upholding our commitment to ethical business conduct, integrity and corporate responsibility, and integrating strong governance and enterprise risk management oversight across all aspects of our business.
Our Focus on Sustainable Manufacturing and Safety
Our engineering and design standards are designed to ensure that we are operating in an efficient, safe, sustainable and compliant manner, and encourage us to be leaders in pursuing environmentally friendly production practices. For example, our use of AFP machines has reduced material waste substantially. Some fabric parts, due to their shape and nesting, waste up to 80% of the raw material, where AFP parts typically waste 5% or less material. Our Environmental Sustainability Team works closely with our operating units to track material inputs and outputs, to build strategies for chemical reduction and eliminations, and to review the proper handling and disposal of our materials. We are also pursuing a life cycle assessment of our manufacturing processes in order to build a reliable and transparent data set that will allow us to monitor and mitigate our emissions, waste and natural resource consumption over time.
With safety as a core value, we emphasize the need for strict compliance with all safety rules and best practices, including mandatory safety training and reporting procedures through our Human Resources and Safety teams. We require all employees to participate in company-wide safety initiatives and education, and conduct regular safety audits to ensure the proper safety policies, programs, procedures, analysis and training are in place.
Human Capital
To achieve our goal of saving a billion people an hour a day, we will need to attract and retain employees with a diverse set of skills and perspectives as we grow our business. Many of our employees are located in highly competitive labor markets. In addition to competitive cash and equity compensation, offering employees a compelling vision and an opportunity to positively impact their communities is a key part of our strategy to grow our workforce.
As of February 28, 2022, we had 1,124 employees, with over 80% supporting engineering, certification and early manufacturing operations. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe we have good relationships with our employees and have not experienced any interruptions of operations due to labor disagreements.
Diversity and Inclusion
We work diligently to create a diverse, inclusive and equitable work environment. We provide equal opportunities for growth, success, promotion, learning and development, and aim to achieve parity in the way we organize, assign and manage projects. We encourage employee engagement through gender equality and women employee resource groups as well as seminars to discuss gender and racial equality issues. We are focused on building support across all teams and individuals, ensuring everyone has a voice, and treats each other with respect.
Competition
We believe that the primary sources of competition for our service are ground-based mobility solutions, other eVTOL developers/operators and local/regional incumbent aircraft charter services.
We believe the primary factors that will drive success in the UAM market include the performance of our eVTOL aircraft relative to both competitive eVTOL aircraft and traditional aircraft, the ability to certify the

Table of Contents
aircraft and service operation in a timely manner, the ability to manufacture efficiently at scale, the ability to scale the service adequately to drive down
end-user
pricing, the ability to offer services and routes that provide adequate value proposition for passengers, the ability to develop or otherwise capture the benefits of next generation technologies, and the ability to deliver products and services to a high-level of quality, reliability and safety.
While there are differentiated approaches to vehicle designs and business models, we believe that our aircraft and business model offer the greatest long-term prospects to monetize the full value chain from development through operations. Our technologically differentiated aircraft and advancement in certification position us well to be first to market in the U.S., with the best aircraft to serve our customers.
Legal Proceedings
On April 19, 2021, Cody Reese (“Reese”), a purported shareholder of RTP, filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned Cody Reese v. Reinvent Technology Partners, et al., case number 652603/2021, against RTP and the members of its board of directors (the “Reese Complaint”). The Reese Complaint asserted a breach of fiduciary duty claim against the individual defendants and an aiding and abetting claim against RTP in connection with our merger with RTP. The Reese Complaint alleged, among other things, that (i) the merger consideration is unfair, and (ii) the registration statement on Form
S-4
filed with the SEC on April 2, 2021 regarding the proposed transaction involving Joby was materially misleading and incomplete and failed to disclose material information. The Reese Complaint sought, among other things, to enjoin the proposed business combination, rescind the transaction or award rescissory damages to the extent it was consummated, and an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Reese Complaint was settled in December 2021 for an immaterial amount.
Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located in Santa Cruz, California, and consist of approximately 23,000 square feet. We operate primarily out of facilities located in the U.S., in Santa Cruz, San Carlos and Marina, California, Washington, D.C. and internationally in Munich and Stuttgart, Germany, Linz, Austria, and Shenzhen, China. All of our facilities are located on land that is leased from third parties or, in the case of certain of our Santa Cruz facilities, from entities partially or wholly owned by our CEO, JoeBen Bevirt.
The facilities that house our prototype production line in Marina, California span approximately 130,000 square feet and are leased from the City of Marina. We have also entered into a ground lease agreement with the City of Marina that can be extended for up to 50 years.
Our employee headcount has continued to grow meaningfully over the last 12 months, and we expect that we may need to secure additional facilities to meet our current and future anticipated needs. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.
Our development and testing facility in Santa Cruz, California is a retired rock quarry. While the nature of this facility is suitable for advanced R&D and testing activities, this facility lacks compliance with applicable building codes, zoning codes and similar regulations and ordinances. We have submitted plans to the County of Santa Cruz for the development of a Research, Development and Test Facility on the site and evaluating other alternatives which would bring the use of the facility back into compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis includes forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see the section of this prospectus titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We have spent more than a decade designing and testing a piloted
all-electric
aircraft that can take off and land vertically, while cruising like a traditional airplane. The aircraft is quiet when taking off, near silent when flying overhead and is designed to transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, with a maximum range of 150 miles on a single charge. The low noise enabled by the
all-electric
powertrain will allow the aircraft to operate around dense, urban areas while blending into the background noise of cities. With more than 1,000 successful test flights already completed, and as the first eVTOL aircraft developer to receive a signed, stage 4
G-1
certification basis to date, we believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn airworthiness certification from the FAA.
We do not intend to sell these aircraft to third parties or individual consumers. Instead, we plan to manufacture, own and operate our aircraft, building a vertically integrated transportation company that will deliver a convenient
app-based
aerial ridesharing service directly to
end-users,
with a goal to begin commercial passenger service in 2024. We believe this business model will generate the greatest economic returns, while providing us with
end-to-end
control over the customer experience to optimize for customer safety, comfort and value.
Since our inception in 2009, we have been primarily engaged in research and development of eVTOL aircraft. We have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since our inception. As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $476.6 million. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and the proceeds from the merger described below.
The Merger
We entered into the Merger Agreement on February 23, 2021, with RTP, a special purpose acquisition company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Legacy Joby was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of RTP. Legacy Joby survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RTP, which was renamed Joby Aviation, Inc. The number of Legacy Joby common shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RTP is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Joby Aviation represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Joby, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Joby Aviation issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization. Legacy Joby operations prior to the Merger are presented as those of Joby Aviation. The Merger, which raised $1,067.9 million, has significantly impacted our capital structure and operating results, supporting our product development, manufacturing and commercialization.
As a result of becoming an
SEC-registered
and NYSE-listed company, we have and will continue to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory

Table of Contents
requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources. All shares and per share amounts of Legacy Joby for all presented periods have been retrospectively adjusted using the Exchange Ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
See the section entitled “
Risk Factors
” for a further discussion of these considerations.
Development of the UAM market
Our revenue will be directly tied to the continued development of short distance aerial transportation. While we believe the market for UAM will be large, it remains undeveloped and there is no guarantee of future demand. We anticipate commercialization of our service beginning in 2024, and our business will require significant investment leading up to launching passenger services, including, but not limited to, final engineering designs, prototyping and testing, manufacturing, software development, certification, pilot training, infrastructure and commercialization.
We believe one of the primary drivers for adoption of our aerial ridesharing service is the value proposition and time savings offered by aerial mobility relative to traditional ground-based transportation. Additional factors impacting the pace of adoption of our aerial ridesharing service include but are not limited to: perceptions about eVTOL quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which eVTOL may be flown on a single battery charge; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; availability of competing forms of transportation, such as ground or air taxi or ride-hailing services; the development of adequate infrastructure; consumers’ perception about the safety, convenience and cost of transportation using eVTOL relative to ground-based alternatives; and increases in fuel efficiency, autonomy, or electrification of cars. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for UAM services, particularly if
end-user
pricing is at a premium to ground-based transportation alternatives or more permanent work-from-home behaviors persist following the COVID pandemic. We anticipate initial operations in selected high-density metropolitan areas where traffic congestion is particularly acute and operating conditions are suitable for early eVTOL operations. If the market for UAM does not develop as expected, this would impact our ability to generate revenue or grow our business.
Competition
We believe that the primary sources of competition for our service are ground-based mobility solutions, other eVTOL developers/operators and local/regional incumbent aircraft charter services. While we expect to be first to market with an eVTOL facilitated aerial ridesharing service, we expect this industry to be dynamic and increasingly competitive; it is possible that our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not fully realize the benefits we anticipate, and we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overtaken by other competitors. If new or existing aerospace companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate and obtain large-scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for eVTOL aircraft and aerial ridesharing, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate an aerial ridesharing service in the markets in which we intend to launch or in other markets. In the event we do not capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate, it may harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For a more comprehensive discussion, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
Government Certification
We agreed to a signed, stage 4
“G-1”
certification basis for our aircraft with the FAA in 2020. This agreement lays out the specific requirements that need to be met by our aircraft for it to be certified for
 
41

Table of Contents
commercial operations. Reaching this milestone marks a key step on the way towards certifying any new aircraft in the U.S. Our aircraft will be certified in line with the FAA’s existing Part 23 requirements for Normal Category Airplanes, with special conditions introduced to address requirements specific to our unique aircraft. These special conditions, defined in the signed, stage 4
“G-1”
document, are expected to be published in the U.S. Federal Register. We will also need to obtain authorizations and certifications related to the production of our aircraft and the deployment of our aerial ridesharing service. While we anticipate being able to meet the requirements of such authorizations and certifications, we may be unable to obtain such authorizations and certifications, or to do so on the timeline we project. Should we fail to obtain any of the required authorizations or certifications, or do so in a timely manner, or any of these authorizations or certifications are modified, suspended or revoked after we obtain them, we may be unable to launch our commercial service or do so on the timelines we project, which would have adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.
Agility Prime
In December 2020, we became, to the best of our knowledge, the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, and in the first quarter of 2021, we officially began
on-base
operations under contract pursuant to the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program. Our multi-year relationship with the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies provides us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch. In addition to the operational learnings, our existing contracts also provide for more than $40 million of payments through 2024 based upon full performance, and we are actively pursuing additional contracts and relationships that would further secure these
on-base
operations going forward. Our U.S. government contracting party may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts with us without prior notice and either at its convenience or for default based on performance, or may decline to accept performance or exercise subsequent option years. We may also be unable to secure additional contracts or continue to grow our relationship with the U.S. government and/or Department of Defense.
Impact of
COVID-19
The impact of
COVID-19,
including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of
COVID-19,
as well as the emergence of variants, has also created disruptions in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain for manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a decrease in the need of transportation services around the world.
As a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, we have modified our business practices (including employee travel, recommending that all
non-essential
personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented additional safety protocols for essential workers. We may take further actions, or modify our
COVID-19
related business practices, as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners. While the ultimate duration and extent of the
COVID-19
pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the emergence of variants, and vaccine efficacy and uptake, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic, as well as the ultimate impact on our business, remains unknown.
Fully-Integrated Business Model
Our business model is to serve as a fully-integrated eVTOL transportation service provider. Present projections indicate that payback periods on aircraft will result in a viable business model over the long-term as production volumes scale and unit economics improve to support sufficient market adoption. As with any new
 
42

Table of Contents
industry and business model, numerous risks and uncertainties exist. Our projections are dependent on certifying and delivering aircraft on time and at a cost that will allow us to offer our service at prices that a sufficient numbers of customers will be willing to pay for the time and efficiency savings they receive from utilizing our eVTOL services. Our aircraft include numerous parts and manufacturing processes unique to eVTOL aircraft, in general, and our product design, in particular. We have used our best efforts to estimate costs in our planning projections; however, the variable cost associated with assembling our aircraft at scale remains uncertain at this stage of development. The success of our business also is dependent, in part, on the utilization rate of our aircraft and reductions in utilization will adversely impact our financial performance. Our aircraft may not be able to fly safely in poor weather conditions, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, high winds, lightning, hail, known icing conditions and/or fog. Our inability to operate safely in these conditions will reduce our aircraft utilization and cause delays and disruptions in our services. We intend to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate which is the amount of time our aircraft spend in the air carrying passengers. High daily aircraft utilization is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at skyports. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions, security requirements, air traffic congestion and unscheduled maintenance events.
Components of Results of Operations
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, costs of consulting, equipment and materials, depreciation and amortization and allocations of overhead, including rent, information technology costs and utilities. Research and development expenses are partially offset by payments we received in the form of government grants, including those received under the Agility Prime program. We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes, and continue to explore and develop next generation aircraft and technologies.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, related to executive management, finance, legal, and human resource functions. Other costs include business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, including allocated depreciation, rent, information technology costs and utilities. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as we hire additional personnel and consultants to support our commercialization efforts and comply with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other SEC rules and regulations.
Investment in SummerBio, LLC
Following the outbreak of the
COVID-19
pandemic, our management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to us could be repurposed and applied to providing high-volume, rapid
COVID-19
diagnostic testing. To enable the development and deployment of this technology, in May 2020, SummerBio was established. SummerBio was 100% beneficially owned by us, and a fully consolidated subsidiary until August 24, 2020. On August 24, 2020 SummerBio raised additional financing through issuing equity instruments to other investors and changed the structure of its board of directors, as a result of which we concluded that on August 24, 2020 we no longer had a controlling interest in SummerBio. We concluded that our retained interest in SummerBio should be accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, we deconsolidated SummerBio, recognized our remaining investment in SummerBio as an equity investment at a fair value of $5.2 million, derecognized net liabilities of SummerBio of $1.7 million and recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $6.9 million, which is included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. In December 2021, we recorded a $1.0 million reduction to our
 
43

Table of Contents
investment in SummerBio due to increase in SummerBio employees’ stock based awards, which diluted Company’s equity interest in SummerBio. We recognized our share of earnings of SummerBio, net of dilution reduction, as income from equity method investment on the consolidated statement of operations for the total amount of $29.4 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Transaction Expenses Related to Merger
Transaction costs consist of legal, accounting, banking fees and other costs that were directly related to the consummation of the Merger. Transaction costs related to the issuance of common shares were recognized in stockholders’ equity. Transaction costs allocated to the Earnout Shares were expensed in the consolidated statements of operations upon the completion of the Merger on August 10, 2021.
Gain From Changes in Fair Value of Warrants and Earnout Shares Liabilities
Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Earnout Shares are recorded as liabilities and subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date. We expect to incur an incremental income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations for the fair value adjustments for these outstanding liabilities at the end of each reporting period.
Acquisition of Uber Elevate
On January 11, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Uber Elevate in exchange for consideration in the form of 8,924,009 shares of Legacy Joby’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock. Concurrently with the acquisition of Uber Elevate, we issued to Uber a convertible note for the total principal amount of $75.0 million. We determined that the convertible note included a premium of approximately $0.5 million, which was attributable to the consideration transferred in this acquisition. Upon closing of the Merger, the unpaid principal amount of $75.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $2.2 million was converted into 7,716,780 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation. Following the acquisition date, the results of operations of Uber Elevate are fully consolidated in our consolidated statement of operations.
Other Acquisitions
On April 6, 2021, we completed the acquisition of an entity engaged in the development of transportation technology with application in the aviation sector, whereby we acquired all the outstanding shares of the entity in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $5.0 million in cash, and (ii) 2,677,200 restricted shares of Legacy Joby Series C Preferred Stock with an aggregate acquisition date fair value of $23.9 million (the “first acquisition”). The Legacy Joby Series C Preferred Stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Joby common stock on a
one-to-one
basis immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.
On December 21, 2021, we completed the acquisition of an entity engaged in the development of radar systems technology with application in the aviation and other sectors, whereby we acquired all the outstanding shares of the entity in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $2.8 million in cash, and (ii) 340,000 restricted stock units with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $2.4 million (the “second acquisition”).
Upon closing of the acquisitions described above, the former shareholders of the acquired entities became employees and/or consultants of various subsidiaries of Joby Aviation. The shares issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the restricted stock units issued are subject to vesting over a
six-year
period and are contingent on such holders continuing their employment or consulting relationship. If the former shareholder’s employment or consulting relationship is terminated, all of then unvested shares that were issued as part of the total consideration in connection with the acquisitions described above will be forfeited by such holder (except in certain circumstances, where an employee or consultant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, in which case the vesting may be accelerated). Because the vesting is contingent upon the former shareholders’

Table of Contents
continued employment or consulting relationship, such shares are considered to be post-combination compensation expense rather than part of the purchase consideration. Therefore, the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock and restricted stock units of $23.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, is recognized as a stock-based compensation expense over the
six-year
vesting term, commencing on the respective acquisition dates.
The first acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was represented by a group of similar assets. The purchase consideration of $5.0 million was allocated to $5.0 million of the acquired IPR&D assets, $0.1 million of the acquired current liabilities and $0.1 million of acquired current assets. The Company concluded that acquired IPR&D assets are to be used only in specific programs and have no alternative future use if such programs fail to result in a commercialized product. Therefore, the acquired IPR&D assets were written off immediately after the acquisition date and reflected as part of research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The second acquisition was accounted for as a business combination because the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constituted a business. The purchase consideration of $2.8 million was allocated to $1.7 million of the acquired intangible assets, primarily developed technology, $1.2 million of the acquired current assets, primarily cash and account receivables, and $0.1 million of the acquired current liabilities.
In-Q-Tel
Stock Warrant
On March 19, 2021 we entered into a government grant contract with
In-Q-Tel,
an independent nonprofit corporation that partners with U.S. intelligence and national security community. Under this agreement, we receive payments from
In-Q-Tel
for reports on our aircraft’s development progress and future services offering. Upon submission of certain specified deliverables, we will receive a total of $1.0 million from
In-Q-Tel.
In connection with entering into the government grant contract with
In-Q-Tel,
Legacy Joby issued the
In-Q-Tel
Warrant for 68,649 shares of our Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares with an issuance date fair value of $0.6 million and recognized a respective deferred cost. The deferred cost will be amortized to research and development expenses as we earn the $1.0 million in government grants from
In-Q-Tel.
In connection with the Merger, the
In-Q-Tel
Warrant was automatically exercised, on a cashless basis, for Legacy Joby’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, and the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into shares of common stock.
Interest and Other Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of the interest on our convertible notes, equipment finance leases and tenant improvement loans. Interest on convertible notes relates to Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred notes issued to Uber in January 2021. Upon closing of the Merger, the unpaid principal amount of $75.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $2.2 million was converted into 7,716,780 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation.
Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes
Upon closing of the Merger, the Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred notes issued to Uber converted into 7,716,780 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation and we recognized a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes at the date of the conversion.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes consists of an estimate of federal, state, and foreign income taxes based on enacted federal, state, and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in tax law. Due to the level of historical losses, we maintain a valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as it has been concluded it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $88.8 million, or 82%, to 197.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 from $108.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel to support aircraft engineering, software development, manufacturing process development, and certification, as well as increased materials used in prototype development and testing. These increases were partially offset by government research and development grants earned through increased operations as part of our Department of Defense contracts.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $38.0 million, or 162%, to $61.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 from $23.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increased headcount to support operations growth, including IT, legal, facilities, HR, and finance, as well as an increase in insurance cost and professional services cost related to legal, accounting and recruiting support.

Total Other Income, Net
Total other income, net increased by $50.1 million, or 277%, to $68.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 from $18.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $49.9 million gain from changes in fair value of the Earnout Shares, Public Warrants, and Private Placement Warrants and a $23.6 million increase in equity method investment income from SummerBio, partially offset by $9.1 million of transaction expenses related to the Merger incurred in the year ended December 31, 2021, a $4.5 million decrease related to lower interest rates in the year ended December 31, 2021, a $2.2 million increase in interest expense and a $0.7 million extinguishment loss related to Uber convertible note issued in January 2021 and converted in August 2021.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax benefit of $10.5 million, recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, is primarily due to the release of deferred tax asset valuation allowance, as the deferred tax liability related to the Uber contractual agreement asset provided the Company with a source of future taxable income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
We have incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the Merger and issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. From inception through December 31, 2021, we raised net proceeds of $1,067.9 million from the Merger and $843.3 million from the issuances of Legacy Joby’s redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $956.3 million and short-term investment in marketable securities of $343.2 million. Restricted cash, totaling $0.8 million, reflects a security deposit on leased facilities. We believe that our cash on hand will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
We expect our cash and cash equivalents on hand together with the cash we anticipate to generate from future operations will provide sufficient funding to support us through to initial commercialization. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to fully cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future remaining capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.
Our principal uses of cash in recent periods were to fund our research and development activities, personnel cost and support services. Near-term cash requirements will also include spending on manufacturing facilities, ramping up production and supporting production certification, scaled manufacturing operations for commercialization, infrastructure and skyport development, pilot training facilities, software development and production of aircraft. We do not have material cash requirements related to current contractual obligations. As such, our cash requirements are highly dependent upon management’s decisions about the pace and focus of both our short and long-term spending.
 
47

Table of Contents
Cash requirements can fluctuate based on business decisions that could accelerate or defer spending, including the timing or pace of investments, infrastructure and production of aircraft. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies, which could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our investments in production operations, the pace of our production
ramp-up,
infrastructure investments in skyports, expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares for a net amount of $69.9 million, partially offset by repayment of a capital lease obligation of $0.6 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.
While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure and record the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant. When the observable market price or volatility we use to determine grant date fair value does not reflect certain material
non-public
information known to the Company but unavailable to marketplace participants at the time the market price is observed, we determine whether an adjustment to the observable market price is required. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and use the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation, and account for forfeitures as they occur. We selected the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option’s expected term, expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.
Expected volatility
— Prior to the Merger, since we were not a publicly traded company, the expected volatility for our stock options was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards.
 
49

Table of Contents
Risk-free interest rate
— The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for
zero-coupon
U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected term of the awards.
Expected dividend yield
— The expected dividend rate is zero as we currently have no history or expectation of declaring dividends on our common stock.
Expected term
— The expected term represents the period these stock awards are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior.
Fair Value of Common Stock
Prior to the Merger on August 10, 2021, the fair value of our common stock was determined by the board of directors with assistance from management and, in part, on input from an independent third-party valuation firm. We believe that our board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine the fair value of our common stock prior to the Merger.
Given the absence of a public trading market of our common stock, prior to the Merger, and in accordance with the Practice Aid, our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock at each grant date. These factors include:
 
   
contemporaneous valuations of our common stock performed by independent third-party specialists;
 
   
the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;
 
   
the prices paid for common or convertible preferred stock sold to third-party investors by us and prices paid in secondary transactions for shares repurchased by us in
arm’s-length
transactions, including any tender offers, if any;
 
   
the lack of marketability inherent in our common stock;
 
   
our actual operating and financial performance;
 
   
our current business conditions and projections;
 
   
the hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;
 
   
the history of the Company and the introduction of new products;
 
   
our stage of development;
 
   
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering (IPO), a merger, or acquisition of our company given prevailing market conditions;
 
   
the operational and financial performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and
 
   
the U.S. and global capital market conditions and overall economic conditions.
In valuing Legacy Joby common stock, the fair value of our business was determined using various valuation methods, including combinations of income, market and cost approaches with input from management. The income approach estimates value based on the expectation of future cash flows that a company will generate. These future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a discount rate that is derived from an analysis of the cost of capital of comparable publicly traded companies in our industry or similar business operations as of each valuation date and is adjusted to reflect the risks inherent in our cash flows. The market approach estimates value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business. From the comparable companies, a representative market value multiple is determined and then applied to the subject company’s financial forecasts to estimate the value of the subject company.

The Practice Aid identifies various available methods for allocating enterprise value across classes and series of capital stock to determine the estimated fair value of common stock at each valuation date. Based on our early stage of development and other relevant factors, we determined that OPM was the most appropriate method for allocating our enterprise value to determine the estimated fair value of Legacy Joby common stock. OPM uses option theory to value the various classes of a company’s securities in light of their respective claims to the enterprise value. Total stockholders’ equity value is allocated to the various share classes based upon their respective claims on a series of call options with strike prices at various value levels depending upon the rights and preferences of each class. A Black-Scholes closed form option pricing model is typically employed in this analysis, with an option term assumption that is consistent with Management’s expected time to a liquidity event and a volatility assumption based on the estimated stock price volatility of a peer group of comparable public companies over a similar term.
In determining the estimated fair value of Legacy Joby common stock, our board of directors also considered the fact that our stockholders could not freely trade Legacy Joby common stock in the public markets. Accordingly, we applied discounts to reflect the lack of marketability of Legacy Joby common stock based on the weighted-average expected time to liquidity. The estimated fair value of Legacy Joby common stock at each grant date reflected a
non-marketability
discount partially based on the anticipated likelihood and timing of a future liquidity event.
Application of these approaches and methodologies involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable public companies and the probability of and timing associated with possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of Legacy Joby common stock. Following the Merger, it is not necessary to determine the fair value of Joby Aviation common stock as the shares are traded in a public market.
Changes in the Estimated Fair Value of Legacy Joby Common Stock During the Periods Presented
Below we present a discussion regarding material differences between the valuations used to determine the
pre-Merger
fair value of our common stock relative to the fair value implied by the Merger.
Valuation History
— In April 2020 and September 2020, Legacy Joby common stock value was determined to be $2.92 per share and $4.86 per share, respectively.
In 2020, the Legacy Joby common stock price increased mainly due to gradual improvements we made in research and development. In 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with Toyota, whose partnership brings scaled manufacturing experience and quality to our operations. Further in 2020, to our knowledge, we became the first company to agree to a
G-1
certification basis for aircraft with the FAA. In addition, we received the U.S. Air Force’s first military airworthiness approval for an eVTOL passenger aircraft.
In December 2020, we started to investigate entering into a transaction with a SPAC. From December 2020 through January 2021, there were initial SPAC meetings, and a
non-binding
LOI was executed on January 22, 2021. The LOI set forth the basic terms of a potential transaction between Legacy Joby and RTP, contemplating a
pre-money
equity value of $5,000.0 million for Legacy Joby as well as a PIPE Investment of between $310 million and $510 million in the aggregate, subject to finalization of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and obtaining sufficient commitments from PIPE Investors.
On January 11 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Uber Elevate, we performed a 409A valuation of Legacy Joby common stock, which was determined to be $8.23 per share. On February 23, 2021, we performed a 409A valuation of Legacy Joby common stock, which was determined to be $8.60 per share. Subsequently, on June 14, 2021 we performed a 409A valuation of Legacy Joby common stock, which was determined to be $8.97 per share.

Below is the summary of 409A valuation reports received during 2020 and 2021.

(1)
For the December 2019 409A valuation, we applied a market-based valuation approach to determine the common stock fair value. To arrive at the fair value of common stock, Legacy Joby assigned 100% weighting to OPM.
(2)
For the April 2020 and September 2020 409A valuations, we applied valuation methods that relied on a continuing operations scenario approach, whereby during the periods discussed above, the time to liquidity was approximately two to two and a half years, as adjusted as appropriate depending on the valuation date.
(3)
With the signing of the LOI with RTP on January 22, 2021, we adjusted our valuation assumptions in the January 11, 2021 409A valuation report. Specifically, beginning with the January 11, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized the Hybrid Method. The Hybrid Method is appropriate for a company expecting a near term liquidity event, but where, due to market or other factors, the likelihood of completing the liquidity event is uncertain. The Hybrid Method is also appropriate when various possible future outcomes are assumed by management. The Hybrid Method considers a company’s going concern nature, stage of development and the Company’s ability to forecast near and long-term future liquidity scenarios. The Hybrid Method was deemed the most appropriate due to the execution of the LOI. The outcomes of each scenario are assigned a probability, and a future equity value under each outcome is then estimated.
A discussion of the two scenarios used in the Hybrid Method as of January 11, 2021 is as follows:
Continuing Operations Scenario:
Under the Continuing Operations Scenario, we utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Legacy Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Legacy Joby, resulting in a per share value of $7.83 per common share, prior to a DLOM being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of two years and a volatility of 71.2%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 22.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of two years and a common stock volatility of 78.7% resulting in a per common share value of $6.07 at January 11, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.
Transaction Scenario:
Under the Transaction Scenario, we assumed a
pre-money
equity value of $5,000.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $9.79 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 8.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of four months and overall company volatility of 66.1% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $8.96 at January 2021 under the Transaction Scenario.
The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $8.23 at January 11, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $6.07 (25%) and Transaction Scenario at $8.96 (75%). The weightings reflected the uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP, taking into account the
non-binding
nature of the LOI and the

Table of Contents
preliminary stage of the due diligence and PIPE Investment processes. We entered into the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.
 
(4)
In performing the February 23, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized the same methodology and approach as for the January 11, 2021 409A valuation, with the exception of the following updates to the assumptions and inputs:
Continuing Operations Scenario:
We utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Legacy Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Legacy Joby, resulting in a per share value of $7.99 per common share, prior to a DLOM being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of 1.85 years and a volatility of 72.6%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 22.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of two years and a common stock volatility of 80.1% resulting in a per common share value of $6.17 at February 23, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.
Transaction Scenario:
We assumed a
pre-money
equity value of $5,000.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $9.63 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 8.0% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of four months and overall company volatility of 58.8% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $8.86 at February 23, 2021. The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $8.60 at February 23, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $6.17 (10%) and Transaction Scenario at $8.86 (90%). The weightings reflected the decreased uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP as compared to the January 11, 2021 valuation, taking into account the signing of the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.

In performing the June 14, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized the same methodology and approach as for the February 23, 2021 409A valuations, with the exception of the following updates to the assumptions and inputs:
Continuing Operations Scenario: 
We utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Legacy Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Legacy Joby, resulting in a per share value of $8.40 per common share, prior to a DLOM being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of 1.55 years and a volatility of 76.2%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 21.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 1.55 years and a common stock volatility of 83.5% resulting in a per common share value of $6.60 at June 14, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.
Transaction Scenario:
We assumed a
pre-money
equity value of $4,860.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $9.72 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 5.0% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 49 days and overall company volatility of 60.2% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $9.24 at June 14, 2021. The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $8.97 at June 14, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $6.60 (10%) and Transaction Scenario at $9.24 (90%). The weightings reflected the decreased uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP as compared to the January 11, 2021 valuation, taking into account the signing of the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.

Impact on Measurement of Share-based Payment Awards
— We granted approximately 14.3 million options during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended on December 31, 2021, we granted approximately 10.6 million restricted stock units. The following chart reflects the date of the option grant, the number of awards granted, and the fair value of the underlying common stock used to value such awards for accounting purposes. Such options were measured at fair value on the date of grant.

To evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares for grants taking place on dates between the dates of any two independent valuations, a linear interpolation framework was used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares granted between such two valuation dates. We determined that a linear interpolation was appropriate as there were no material changes in our business, research and development activities, cost structure or financial condition in the intervening period. Other than the
non-binding
LOI, which was not signed between us and RTP until January 22, 2021, there were no material transactions during the intervening period that would impact our valuation.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
In accounting for long-lived assets, we make estimates about the expected useful lives, projected residual values, and the potential for impairment. In estimating useful lives and residual values of our property and equipment, we have relied upon actual industry experience with the same or similar property and equipment types and our anticipated utilization of the property and equipment. Changing market prices of new and used property and equipment, government regulations, and changes in our maintenance program or operations could result in changes to these estimates.
Our long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired. Indicators include operating or cash flow losses, significant decreases in market value, or changes in technology. To determine if impairment exists for our property and equipment used in operations, we group our property and equipment by type (the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows) and then estimate their future cash flows based on projections of capacity, asset age, maintenance requirements, and other relevant conditions. An impairment occurs when the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the aggregate carrying value of the assets. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the assets’ carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. We estimate our property and equipment’s fair value using third party valuations which consider the effects of the current market environment, age of the assets, and marketability.
We have not identified any events and circumstances that would indicate that our long-lived assets may be impaired. Accordingly, we have not recorded any impairment charge our existing property and equipment during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, we did not have any
off-balance
sheet arrangements that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation
S-K.
Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging
growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. RTP was an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and had elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
We plan to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public business entities and
non-public
business entities until the earlier of the date we (a) are no longer an emerging growth company and (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of
non-emerging
growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by
non-affiliates
exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in
non-convertible
debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates applicable to our short-term investments. We had cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in short-term marketable securities totaling $1,299.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Cash equivalents and short-term investments were invested primarily in money market funds, U.S. treasury bills and government and corporate bonds. Our investment policy is focused on the preservation of capital and supporting its liquidity needs. Under the policy, we invest in highly rated securities, issued by the U.S. government and corporations or liquid money market funds. We do not invest in financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we use leveraged financial instruments. We utilize external investment managers who adhere to the guidelines of their investment policies. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on the value of our cash, cash equivalents or short-term investments or our interest income.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are not exposed to significant foreign currency risks related to our operating expenses as our foreign operations are not material to our consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and cybersecurity risks. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our board of directors and other corporate governance matters. Although each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed through discussions from committee members about such risks. Our board of directors believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not negatively affected our board of directors’ leadership structure.

Equity Compensation
We have granted RSUs under our 2016 Plan and 2021 Plan to our named executive officers, to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock upon vesting.
New-hire
RSUs generally vest over six years to provide a long-term incentive and retention awards generally vest over four years. Any unvested RSUs are forfeited if an executive or employee ceases to provide services to the Company.
In January 2021, we granted an award of 1,285,070 RSUs under the 2016 Plan to Mr. Allison in connection with the commencement of his employment. The award vests over six years, with 1/6 of the RSUs vesting on January 12, 2022, and 1/20 of the RSUs vesting on each quarterly anniversary thereafter, subject to Mr. Allison’s continued employment.
In April 2021, we granted an award of 553,151 RSUs under the 2016 Plan to Mr. Field in connection with the commencement of his employment. The award vests over six years with 1/6 of the RSUs vesting on April 3, 2022, and 1/20 of the RSUs vesting on each quarterly anniversary thereafter, subject to Mr. Field’s continued employment.
In December 2021, we adopted a PSU Program for calendar year 2022. All of our employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the PSU Program. Under the PSU Program, upon and subject to our achievement of certain operational, manufacturing and business goals in 2022, each employee of the Company will be granted one or more RSU awards under the 2021 Plan having a value equal to a percentage of the employee’s annual salary. Any RSUs that are granted under the PSU Program in calendar year 2022 will vest in full on January 1, 2023, subject to the holder’s continued employment with us through such date.
In connection with the PSU Program, we set the following target values for our named executive officers:
 
Name
  
Target
Amount
 
JoeBen Bevirt
   $ 3,000,000  
Matthew Field
   $ 1,000,000  
Eric Allison
   $ 500,000  
Maximum achievement of the goals under the PSU program would result in awards that are
one-third
greater than the target values noted above. We believe that the targets and goals reflected in the PSU Program align the interests of our employees, including our NEOs, with our Company’s progress and our shareholders’ interests.
In January 2022, we granted 996,016 RSUs to Mr. Bevirt and 265,604 RSUs to Mr. Field (the “January 2022 Grants”) to bring their total compensation in line with benchmarking data provided by Compensia. The January 2022 Grants vest over four years, with 10% of the total number of RSUs vesting on each of the first four quarterly anniversaries of January 1, 2022, and 5% of the total number of RSUs on each quarterly anniversary thereafter. The January 2022 Grants were made as part of our annual compensation review cycle, which we expect will typically occur in December each year and were considered along with base salary and other compensation in setting our NEOs’ 2022 compensation levels. The grants were not made until January 2022 and are, therefore, not reflected in the Summary Compensation Table or the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table in this Proxy Statement. Because of the timing of these grants, the compensation disclosures we make in our annual proxy statement for 2023 will reflect both the January 2022 Grants and any awards we may make in December 2022 as part of our annual review cycle for that year.
Our compensation philosophy weights compensation for our NEOs and other executives more heavily towards equity-based compensation. Unlike many of our peers, we do not pay annual cash bonuses. We believe that this compensation philosophy and the equity grants described above incentivize performance and aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our shareholders.

Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. We match up to 50% of a participant’s annual eligible contribution to the 401(k) plan, up to a maximum of $4,000. We believe that providing a vehicle for
tax-deferred
retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our NEOs, in accordance with our compensation policies.
All of our full-time employees, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in our standard health and welfare plans. These health and welfare plans include medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and supplemental life and AD&D insurance.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy. We determine perquisites on a
case-by-case
basis and will provide a perquisite to a NEO when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain an individual. Other than expense reimbursements paid to Mr. Field incurred in traveling to and from his primary residence, company-provided temporary housing, and tax
gross-up
payments related to the travel expense reimbursements and housing, we did not provide any perquisites or personal benefits to our NEOs not otherwise made available to our other employees in 2021. In the event Mr. Field relocates to the vicinity of our principal offices in 2022, he will be entitled to receive a relocation bonus of $100,000, less withholding taxes.
Executive Compensation Arrangements
Employment and Offer Letters
JoeBen Bevirt
We have not entered into an offer letter or employment agreement with Mr. Bevirt.
Matthew Field
We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Field that sets forth the terms and conditions of his employment, including his initial annual base salary of $375,000 and new hire grant of 553,151 RSUs. This grant of RSUs was designed to compensate Mr. Field for a portion of the unvested equity and pension benefits that he forfeited with his previous employer. Mr. Field’s offer letter also includes a $400,000 signing bonus, of which $200,000 was payable in connection with Mr. Field’s first day of employment (the “First Installment”) and the remaining $200,000 is payable in April 2022 (the “Second Installment”), subject to his continued employment with us. Mr. Field is also eligible for a $100,000 relocation bonus, payable upon his relocation to a residence within 50 miles of his primary office (the “Relocation Bonus”), reimbursement of up to $10,000 in travel expenses during his first year of employment for travel to and from his primary residence, and Company-provided temporary housing during the first three months of his employment.
If Mr. Field is terminated for Cause (as defined in the offer letter) or voluntarily resigns within one year of his start date, he must repay the First Installment, less 8.33% for each full month of work he has completed. If Mr. Field is terminated for Cause or voluntarily resigns prior to the second anniversary of his start date, he must repay the Second Installment, less 8.33% for each full month of work he has completed after the
one-year
anniversary of his start date. If Mr. Field is terminated for Cause or voluntarily resigns within one year of earning the Relocation Bonus, he must repay the Relocation Bonus, less 8.33% for each full month of work he has completed after earning the Relocation Bonus.
Mr. Field is also eligible for other benefits generally available to our employees.

Eric Allison
We entered into an employment offer letter with Mr. Allison that sets forth the terms and conditions of his employment, including his initial annual base salary of $400,000 and certain time-based and performance-based options. In January 2021, in lieu of the time-based option grant provided for in Mr. Allison’s offer letter, we granted Mr. Allison 1,285,070 RSUs and, in lieu of the performance-based option grant provided for in Mr. Allison’s offer letter, Mr. Allison was provided an opportunity to participate in the PSU Program with a $500,000 target amount, in each case, as described above under the heading “
Equity Compensation
.” In approving these equity grants to Mr. Allison in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Uber Elevate, the Compensation Committee considered that the equity grants positioned him at the market benchmark for his role.
Mr. Allison is also eligible for other benefits generally available to our employees.
Termination and Change of Control Provisions
None of our named executive officers is entitled to any potential payments or benefits in connection with a termination of their employment or a change in control of the Company.

Equity Incentive Plans
The following summarizes the material terms of (i) the 2021 Plan, which we adopted in connection with the Merger as the long-term incentive compensation plan in which our named executive officers and other employees and service providers are currently eligible to participate, (ii) the 2016 Plan, under which we granted equity awards to our named executive officers and other employees and service providers prior to the Merger, and (iii) the ESPP, which we adopted in connection with the Merger, to provide our employees an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount to fair market value.
2021 Plan
Eligibility and Administration
Awards under the 2021 Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our officers, employees or consultants or are the officers, employees or consultants of certain of our subsidiaries. Such awards also may be granted to our directors. Only employees of our company or certain of our subsidiaries may be granted ISOs.
 
67

Table of Contents
The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the 2021 Plan. The compensation committee must consist of at least two members of our board of directors, each of whom is intended to qualify as a
“non-employee
director” for purposes of Rule
16b-3
under the Exchange Act and an “independent director” within the meaning of the rules of the applicable stock exchange, or other principal securities market on which shares of our common stock are traded. The 2021 Plan provides that the board or compensation committee may delegate its authority to grant awards to employees other than executive officers and certain senior executives of the company to a committee consisting of one or more members of our board of directors or one or more of our officers, other than awards made to our
non-employee
directors, which must be approved by our full board of directors.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2021 Plan. The administrator is also authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to administration of the 2021 Plan. Our board of directors may at any time remove the compensation committee as the administrator and revest in itself the authority to administer the 2021 Plan. The full board of directors will administer the 2021 Plan with respect to awards to
non-employee
directors.
Shares Available for Awards
Under the 2021 Plan 66,535,304 shares of our common stock were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to awards, and will be increased by (i) the number of shares of common stock represented by awards outstanding under the 2016 Plan that become available for issuance under the 2021 Plan in accordance with the counting provisions described below and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 4% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors. However, no more than 415,845,648 shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs.
The following counting provisions will be in effect for the share reserve under the 2021 Plan:
 
   
to the extent that an award terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares, any shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
 
   
to the extent shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation with respect to any award, such shares will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
 
   
to the extent shares are tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of a stock option award or not issued in connection with stock settlement of a SAR, such shares will not be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
 
   
the payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan; and
 
   
to the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
The 2021 Plan also provides that the sum of the grant date fair value of all equity-based awards and the maximum that may become payable pursuant to a cash-based award to any individual for services as a
non-employee
director during any calendar year may not exceed $1,500,000.
 
68

Table of Contents
Types of Awards
The 2021 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards, performance stock units, other stock- or cash-based awards and dividend equivalents, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.
 
   
Non-Qualified
Stock Options
provide for the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a specified price that may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed ten years.
 
   
Incentive Stock Options
will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of the Code, and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.
 
   
Restricted Stock
may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Holders of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse, however, dividends will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.
 
   
Restricted Stock Units
may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.
 
   
Stock Appreciation Rights
may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2021 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs under the 2021 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator.
 
   
Performance Bonus Awards and Performance Stock Units
are denominated in cash or shares/unit equivalents, respectively, and may be linked to one or more performance or other criteria as determined by the administrator.
 
   
Other Stock or Cash Based Awards
are awards of cash, fully vested shares of our common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of our common stock. Other stock or cash based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to
 
69

Table of Contents
 
receive awards. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of other stock or cash based awards, which may include vesting conditions based on continued service, performance and/or other conditions.
 
   
Dividend Equivalents
represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash or shares by such formula and such time as determined by the administrator. In addition, dividend equivalents with respect to an awards subject to vesting will either (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related award.
Any award may be granted as a performance award, meaning that the award will be subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals.
Certain Transactions
In the event of any stock dividend or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation,
split-up,
spin-off,
recapitalization, repurchase or any other corporate event affecting the number of outstanding shares of our common stock or the share price of our common stock that would require adjustments to the 2021 Plan or any awards under the 2021 Plan in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits intended to be made available thereunder, the administrator will make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to: (i) the aggregate number and type of shares subject to the 2021 Plan; (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and terms and conditions of outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect to such awards); and (iii) the grant or exercise price per share of any outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan.
In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2021 Plan), to the extent that the successor entity does not assume or substitute for an outstanding award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting), then all such awards will become fully vested and exercisable in connection with the transaction. The impact of a change in control on portions of an award subject to performance-based vesting will generally be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement or administrator discretion in the absence of such terms and conditions. Additionally, if a participant experiences a termination of service that is effected by us other than for cause or by the participant for good reason (each as defined in the 2021 Plan), in either case, during the period beginning three months before and ending 12 months after a change in control, then, each of the participant’s outstanding awards will vest, and any forfeiture restrictions thereon will lapse, as of immediately before the consummation of the change in control or, if later, the date of such participant’s termination of service.
Amendment and Termination
Our board of directors may terminate, amend or suspend the 2021 Plan at any time and from time to time. However, we must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule). No amendments to outstanding awards that materially and adversely affect a participant’s rights under the award may be made without participant consent, except in connection with certain transactions (such as equity restructurings, corporate transactions, or a change in control) or to preserve the intended tax treatment of the participant’s award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator has the authority to amend any outstanding option or SAR to reduce its exercise price per share or cancel any option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award, in each case, without shareholder approval.
No ISOs may be granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the date our board of directors approved the 2021 Plan, and no additional annual share increases to the 2021 Plan’s aggregate share limit will occur from and after such anniversary. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the 2021 Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the 2021 Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Foreign Participants, Claw-back Provisions, Transferability and Participant Payments
The administrator may modify awards granted to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions. All awards will be subject to any company claw-back policy as set forth in such claw-back policy or the applicable award agreement. Except as the administrator may determine or provide in an award agreement, awards under the 2021 Plan are generally
non-transferrable,
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and are generally exercisable only by the participant. With regard to tax withholding obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2021 Plan, and exercise price obligations arising in connection with the exercise of stock options under the 2021 Plan, the administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash, wire transfer or check, shares of common stock that meet specified conditions, a promissory note, a “market sell order,” such other consideration as the administrator deems suitable or any combination of the foregoing.
2016 Plan
Our board of directors adopted the 2016 Plan in 2016. Upon the effectiveness of our 2021 Plan, we ceased to grant awards under the 2016 Plan. However, all outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan continue to be governed by their existing terms under the 2016 Plan.
Share Reserve
Immediately following the Merger, an aggregate of 32,681,760 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding awards granted under the 2016 Plan.
Administration
Our board of directors or a committee appointed by our board of directors, acts as the administrator of the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides that the board may delegate its authority to a committee consisting of two or more members of our board of directors. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan, the administrator has the authority to take any actions it deems advisable for the administration of the 2016 Plan.
Awards
The 2016 Plan provided for the grant or issue of stock options (both ISOs and NSOs), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, and restricted stock units, or any combination thereof. Each award is set forth in a separate agreement with the person who received the award which indicates the type, terms and conditions of the award.
Certain Transactions
If as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in our capital stock, the outstanding shares of common stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities of the Company or any successor entity, the administrator shall make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding award, and (iv) the exercise price for each share subject to any then outstanding options under the 2016 Plan.

Amendment and Termination
.
Our board of directors may terminate or amend the 2016 Plan at any time, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding award without the holder’s consent. However, we must generally obtain stockholder approval for any such amendments to the extent required by applicable law.
ESPP
The ESPP is designed to allow our employees to purchase shares of our common stock with their accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is divided into two components: the “Section 423 Component” and the
“Non-Section
423 Component”. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. The
Non-Section
423 Component is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and will be used to grant stock options to certain
non-U.S.
employees and certain U.S. employees who are employed by certain of our subsidiaries which are not corporations.
Administration
Subject to the terms and conditions of the ESPP, our compensation committee will administer the ESPP. Our compensation committee can delegate administrative tasks under the ESPP to the services of an agent and/or employees to assist in the administration of the ESPP. The administrator will have the discretionary authority to administer and interpret the ESPP. Interpretations and constructions of the administrator of any provision of the ESPP or of any rights thereunder will be conclusive and binding on all persons. We will bear all expenses and liabilities incurred by the ESPP administration.
Shares Available for Awards
The maximum number of shares of our common stock which are authorized for sale under the ESPP is equal to the sum of (a) 6,653,530 shares of common stock and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of common stock as is determined by our board of directors. However, no more than 49,901,478 shares of our common stock may be issued under the ESPP. The shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares of common stock or reacquired shares.
Eligibility
Employees eligible to participate in the ESPP for a given offering period generally include employees who are employed by us or one of our designated subsidiaries on the first day of the offering period, or the enrollment date. Our employees (and, if applicable, any employees of our subsidiaries) who customarily work less than five months in a calendar year or are customarily scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week will not be eligible to participate in the ESPP. An employee who owns (or is deemed to own through attribution) 5% or more of the combined voting power or value of all our classes of stock or of one of our subsidiaries will not be allowed to participate in the ESPP.
Participation
Employees will enroll under the ESPP by completing a payroll deduction form permitting the deduction from their compensation of at least 1% of their compensation but not more than 15% of their compensation. Such payroll deductions may be expressed as either a whole number percentage or a fixed dollar amount, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each purchase date.
Offering
Under the ESPP, participants are offered the option to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during a series of successive offering periods, the duration and timing of which will be determined by the ESPP administrator. However, in no event may an offering period be longer than 27 months.
 
72

Table of Contents
The option purchase price will be the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of our common stock on the first trading date of an offering period in which a participant is enrolled or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the purchase date.
Unless a participant has previously canceled his or her participation in the ESPP before the purchase date, the participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her option in full as of each purchase date. Upon exercise, the participant will purchase the number of whole shares that his or her accumulated payroll deductions will buy at the option purchase price, subject to the participation limitations listed above.
A participant may cancel his or her payroll deduction authorization at any time prior to the end of the offering period. Upon cancellation, the participant will have the option to either (i) receive a refund of the participant’s account balance in cash without interest or (ii) exercise the participant’s option for the current offering period for the maximum number of shares of common stock on the applicable purchase date, with the remaining account balance refunded in cash without interest. Following at least one payroll deduction, a participant may also decrease (but not increase) his or her payroll deduction authorization once during any offering period. If a participant wants to increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so effective for the next offering period by submitting a new form before the offering period for which such change is to be effective.
A participant may not assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account or any rights to exercise an option or to receive shares of our common stock under the ESPP, and during a participant’s lifetime, options in the ESPP shall be exercisable only by such participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will not be given effect.
Adjustments
In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us, we will proportionately adjust the aggregate number of shares of our common stock offered under the ESPP, the number and price of shares which any participant has elected to purchase under the ESPP and the maximum number of shares which a participant may elect to purchase in any single offering period. If there is a proposal to dissolve or liquidate us, then the ESPP will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, and any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our dissolution or liquidation. We will notify each participant of such change in writing before the new exercise date. If we undergo a merger with or into another corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or the parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume the outstanding options or substitute equivalent options, then any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our proposed sale or merger. We will notify each participant of such change in writing before the new exercise date.
Amendment and Termination
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, our board of directors may not amend the ESPP without obtaining shareholder approval to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code or to the extent required by applicable laws.
Director Compensation
We have not historically maintained a formal
non-employee
director compensation program but have made stock and option grants to
non-employee
directors when determined appropriate. In 2020, in connection with her

non-employee
directors for their reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors and its committees.

Represents prorated retainer fees earned for the board of directors and committee service from August 10, 2021, the date of our merger with RTP, through December 31, 2021, which were paid in 2022. Amounts marked with an “*” represents cash retainer fees foregone at the election of our directors, which amounts were instead paid in the form of fully vested RSUs in 2022. As of December 31, 2021, Ms. Evans held an option to purchase 13,047 shares of our common stock. Otherwise, none of our
non-employee
directors held options or stock awards as of December 31, 2021.
Board and Committee Fees
In December 2021, the board of directors approved the Program. The Program provides for annual cash retainers to be paid quarterly in arrears to each
non-employee
director in the following amounts, prorated in the case of
non-employee
directors who serve less than a full calendar quarter:
Board Service
 
Non-Employee
Director
   $ 50,000  
Committee Service
 
    
Chair
    
Non-Chair
 
Audit Committee Member
   $ 20,000      $ 10,000  
Compensation Committee Member
   $ 15,000      $ 7,500  
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member
   $ 10,000      $ 5,000  
In addition, each
non-employee
director will be granted an RSU award immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Grant”). Each Annual Grant will equal a number of RSUs calculated by dividing $150,000 by the average closing trading price of our common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the annual meeting. Each Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the Company’s next annual meeting, subject to the director’s continued service on the vesting date.
Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of the cash compensation described above in the form of fully vested RSUs, calculated in the manner described above (a “Retainer Award”). In addition, our
non-employee
 
74

Table of Contents
directors may elect to defer the issuance of shares to be issued pursuant to an Annual Grant or a Retainer Award until the earlier of (i) a fixed date of the director’s choosing, (ii) such director’s termination of service or (iii) a change of control of the Company.
In addition, in March 2022, our board of directors approved the grant to each
non-employee
director 24,606 RSUs, which represents a
pro-rated
portion of the Annual Grant each director would be entitled to under the Program based on service from August 10, 2021, through the date of our Annual Meeting. The RSUs will fully vest on the date of our Annual Meeting, subject to each such director’s continued service on our board of directors through the vesting date.
Any equity award granted under the Program will immediately vest prior to any change of control of the Company.
The
non-employee
director compensation program is intended to provide a total compensation package that enables us to attract and retain qualified and experienced individuals to serve as directors and to align our directors’ interests with those of our stockholders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time of (i) an aggregate of up to 522,752,375 shares of our common stock and (ii) 11,533,333 warrants to purchase common stock by the Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of common stock and warrants set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “Selling Shareholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Shareholders’ interest in the common stock or warrants other than through a public sale.
The following table sets forth, based on information provided by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholders and filings with the SEC as applicable, the name of each Selling Shareholder, the aggregate number of shares of common stock and warrants beneficially owned by such Selling Shareholder, the aggregate number of shares of common stock and warrants that such Selling Shareholder may offer from time to time pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of common stock and warrants that would be beneficially owned by each Selling Shareholder after the sale of the shares of common stock and warrants offered hereby assuming that the Selling Shareholders sell all of the shares of common stock and warrants being offered pursuant to this prospectus. Percentage ownership is based on 605,841,932 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 5, 2022. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.
A Selling Shareholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such Selling Shareholder’s shares of common stock or warrants in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Shareholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of common stock or warrants. The Selling Shareholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their common stock or warrants after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their common stock and warrants. Since the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form

The following summary describes all material provisions of our capital stock. We urge you to read our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws.

Our Bylaws provide that the holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to take action, unless otherwise specified by law, our Bylaws or our Certificate of Incorporation, and except for the election of directors, which is determined by a plurality vote. There are no cumulative voting rights. In addition, the affirmative vote of holders of 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then outstanding voting stock will be required to take certain actions, including amending certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, such as the provisions relating to amending our amended and restated bylaws, the classified board and director liability.
To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. air transportation operations, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws restrict voting of shares of our capital stock by
non-U.S.
citizens. The restrictions imposed by federal law currently require that no more than 25% of our voting stock be voted, directly or indirectly, by persons who are not U.S. citizens, and that our president and at least
two-thirds
of the members of our board of directors be U.S. citizens. Under our Organizational Documents, Joby Aviation or any designated transfer agent shall maintain a Foreign Stock Record for registered Joby Aviation common stock known to us to be owned and/or controlled by
Non-Citizens.
In the event that we determine that the Joby Aviation common stock registered on the Foreign Stock Record exceeds the Permitted Percentage, sufficient shares shall be removed from the Foreign Stock Record in reverse chronological order based upon the date of registration therein so that the number of shares entered does not exceed the Permitted Percentage; provided, that upon the vesting of any Sponsor Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, such Sponsor Shares

Table of Contents
held by the Sponsor shall be deemed registered on the Foreign Stock Record as of the date of the Merger and before the registration of any Joby Aviation capital stock held by any other
Non-Citizen.
If
Non-Citizens
at any time own and/or control in excess of the Permitted Percentage, the voting rights of the shares of Joby Aviation common stock in excess and not registered on the Foreign Stock Record will be automatically suspended until the earlier of (i) the transfer of such shares to a person or entity who is not a
Non-Citizen
or (ii) the registration of such shares on the Foreign Stock Record.
Dividend Rights
Each holder of shares of our capital stock is entitled to the payment of dividends and other distributions as may be declared by our board of directors from time to time out of our assets or funds legally available for dividends or other distributions. These rights are subject to the preferential rights of the holders of our preferred stock, if any, and any contractual limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends.
Other Rights
Each holder of our common stock is subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
Liquidation Rights
If we are involved in voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, or a similar event, each holder of our common stock will participate pro rata in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of our preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
Redeemable Warrants
Public Warrants
As of December 31,2021, there were 17,250,000 Public Warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The warrants will expire August 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We are not obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available, including as a result of a notice of redemption described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.
We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our shares of common stock are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed

Table of Contents
on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” shall mean the volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.
We may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
 
   
upon not less than 30 days’ written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
 
   
if and only if, the last reported sale price of the shares of common stock for any 20 trading days within a
30-trading
day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (which we refer to as the “Reference Value”) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like)
We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the
30-day
redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the shares of common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $10.00.
We may redeem the outstanding warrants:
 
   
in whole and not in part;
 
   
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our shares of common stock except as otherwise described below;
 
   
if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00”) equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and
 
97

Table of Contents
   
if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.
The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of common stock that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of our shares of common stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined based on volume weighted average price of our shares of common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide our warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the
10-trading
day period described above ends.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted as set forth in the first three paragraphs under the heading “- Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. The adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of common stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or
366-day
year, as applicable. For example,

Table of Contents
if the volume weighted average price of our shares of common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 shares of common stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of our shares of common stock during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 shares of common stock for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of common stock.
This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check offerings, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the shares of common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the shares of common stock are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our shares of common stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “- Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of the date of RTP’s initial public offering. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.
As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the shares of common stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the shares of common stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer shares of common stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for shares of common stock if and when such shares of common stock were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.
No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant agreement, the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the shares of common stock, Joby Aviation (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.
Redemption procedures.
A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving
 
99

Table of Contents
effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments.
If the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in shares of common stock, or by a
split-up
of shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend,
split-up
or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of shares of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of common stock at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock) and (2) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (1) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (2) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of shares of common stock during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of shares of common stock on account of such shares of common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the shares of common stock during the
365-day
period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such event.
If the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis
 
100

Table of Contents
and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of our shares of common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event.
However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by Joby Aviation in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of Joby Aviation as provided for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule
13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule
12b-2
under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3
under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the shares of common stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. Additionally, if less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established
over-the-counter
market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the per share consideration minus Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant.
The warrants have been issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then issued and outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.
The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
Private Placement Warrants
As of December 31, 2021, there were 11,533,333 private placement warrants outstanding. The private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be redeemable by us (except as described under “Description of Securities—Redeemable Warrants—Public Redeemable Warrants—Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $10.00”) so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis and have
 
101

Table of Contents
certain registration rights described herein. Otherwise, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
Except as described under “Description of Securities—Redeemable Warrants—Public Redeemable Warrants—Redemption of warrants when the price per share of common stock equals or exceeds $10.00,” if holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, the “historical fair market value” shall mean the average last reported sale price of the shares of common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.
Anti-takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws
The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of Joby Aviation. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Joby Aviation to first negotiate with our board of directors, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give our board of directors the power to discourage mergers that some stockholders may favor.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by the (a) the Chairperson of our board of directors, (b) our board of directors, (c) our Chief Executive Officer or (d) our President, provided that such special meeting may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by our board of directors or other person calling the meeting.
Action by Written Consent
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and may not be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
The Bylaws provide for advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors.
Classified Board of Directors
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our board of directors is divided into three classes, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible and each class serving three-year staggered terms. The board of directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares our voting stock entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with such corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of such corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors of such corporation approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, Joby Aviation opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will provide other similar restrictions regarding takeovers by interested stockholders.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. We expect to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. Under the Bylaws, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was our director or officer or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The also require us to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person will repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that: (i) unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) and any appellate court thereof will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or stockholders to us or to our stockholders, (C) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation (as either may be amended from time to time), or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (D) any action asserting a claim against us or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine; (ii) unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act; (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the forum selection provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction; and (iv) any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of Joby Aviation will be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions.

Table of Contents
Although the Certificate of Incorporation contains the forum selection provisions described above, it is possible that a court could find that such provisions are inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provisions are unenforceable. For example, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such forum selection provisions as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.
Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
The transfer agent and warrant agent for our common stock and warrants, respectively, is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The transfer agent’s address is 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004-1561.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF OUR SECURITIES
Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned our common stock or our warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been our affiliate at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as Joby Aviation was required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned our common stock shares or our warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
 
   
1% of the total number of our common stock then outstanding; or
 
   
the average weekly reported trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:
 
   
the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
 
   
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
 
   
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form
8-K
reports; and
 
   
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
As a result, subject to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor may be able to sell its Founder Shares and private placement warrants, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration on July 16, 2022.
Joby Aviation is no longer a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees or other
successors-in-interest
selling shares of our common stock or warrants or interests in our common stock or warrants received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Shareholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of certain of their shares of common stock or warrants or interests in our common stock or warrants on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of our common stock or warrants, as applicable, are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of their shares of common stock or warrants or interests therein:
 
   
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
   
one or more underwritten offerings;
 
   
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares of common stock or warrants as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
   
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its accounts;
 
   
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
   
privately negotiated transactions;
 
   
distributions to their members, partners or shareholders;
 
   
short sales effected after the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
 
   
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
 
   
in market transactions, including transactions on a national securities exchange or quotations service or
over-the-counter
market;
 
   
directly to one or more purchasers;
 
   
through agents;
 
   
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares of common stock or warrants at a stipulated price per share or warrant; and
 
   
a combination of any such methods of sale.
The Selling Shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of our common stock or warrants owned by them and, if a Selling Shareholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of common stock or warrants, as applicable, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer shares of our common stock or warrants in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock or warrants or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may
 
106

Table of Contents
in turn engage in short sales of our common stock or warrants in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of our common stock or warrants short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge shares of our common stock or warrants to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of our common stock or warrants offered by this prospectus, which shares or warrants such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholders from the sale of shares of our common stock or warrants offered by them will be the purchase price of such shares of our common stock or warrants less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Shareholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of share of our common stock or warrants to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any offering by the Selling Shareholders.
The Selling Shareholders also may in the future resell a portion of our common stock or warrants in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of our common stock or warrants or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of shares of our common stock or warrants may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If any Selling Shareholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, then the Selling Shareholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the Selling Shareholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
To the extent required, our common stock or warrants to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
To facilitate the offering of shares of our common stock and warrants offered by the Selling Shareholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock or warrants. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares of common stock or warrants than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock or warrants by bidding for or purchasing shares of common stock or warrants in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares of common stock or warrants sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock or warrants at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders party thereto against certain liabilities that they may incur in connection with the sale of the securities registered
 
107

Table of Contents
hereunder, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the Selling Shareholders may be required to make with respect thereto. In addition, we and the Selling Shareholders may agree to indemnify any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement until all such securities have been sold under this registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or are no longer outstanding. We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, other than underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses. The Selling Shareholders will pay, on a pro rata basis, any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses relating to the offering.
Selling Shareholders may use this prospectus in connection with resales of shares of our common stock and warrants. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will identify the Selling Shareholders, the terms of our common stock or warrants and any material relationships between us and the Selling Shareholders. Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act in connection with shares of our common stock or warrants they resell and any profits on the sales may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise set forth in a prospectus supplement, the Selling Shareholders will receive all the net proceeds from the resale of shares of our common stock or warrants.
A Selling Shareholder that is an entity may elect to make an
in-kind
distribution of common stock or warrants to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of common stock or warrants pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of shares of our common stock and warrants to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus, which we expect to be approximately $1.2 million.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Joby Aviation, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Joby Aviation, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

JOBY AVIATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Company and Nature of Business
Description of Business
Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation” or the “Company”) is a vertically integrated air mobility company that is building a clean and quiet, fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft to be used by the Company to deliver passenger and freight air transportation as a service. The Company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California.
Merger with RTP
On August 10, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Reinvent Technology Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company and special purpose acquisition company (“RTP”), completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 23, 2021, by and among RTP, RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of RTP (“RTP Merger Sub”), and Joby Aero, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Joby”). On the Closing Date, RTP was domesticated as a Delaware corporation, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Joby and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased (the “Merger”), and Legacy Joby survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP, which changed its name to Joby Aviation, Inc.
The Merger, together with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Financing (as defined in Note 3, “Reverse Recapitalization,” below), are referred to herein as the (“Reverse Recapitalization”). The number of Legacy Joby common shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively increased using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Please refer to Note 3, “Reverse Recapitalization,” for more details.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
Management expects losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future, primarily as a result of continued research and development efforts. The Company historically funded its research and development efforts through equity and debt issuances. In 2020, the Company received $70.5 million in gross proceeds from additional issuances of Legacy Joby Series C Preferred Stock. In January 2021, the Company received $75.0 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of a convertible promissory note. In August 2021, the Company raised approximately $1.0 billion in net proceeds from the Reverse Recapitalization (see Note 3. Reverse Recapitalization). Failure to raise additional funding or generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations in the longer term could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.
The Company operates in a dynamic high-technology industry. The Company is subject to a number of risks, including the possibility of the UAM market not achieving its expected potential; its ability to secure adequate infrastructure such as airports; the likelihood that aircrafts produced may not meet the required safety and performance standards; its ability to obtain relevant regulatory approvals for the commercialization; prospects of the U.S. government to modify or terminate existing contracts; and its capability to raise future capital when needed.
The Company’s foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing income tax and other laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government pricing or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on currency exchange.

Table of Contents
In March, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
COVID-19
outbreak a global pandemic and recommended containment measures worldwide. To comply with the recommended containment measures and protect its employees, the Company implemented alternative work arrangements for its employees and limited its employees’ travel activities. Although some of the governmental restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, recent and future surges of
COVID-19
may result in restrictions being
re-implemented
in response to efforts to reduce the spread of
COVID-19.
The ultimate impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the
COVID-19
pandemic, the status of health and safety actions taken to contain its spread and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may take, any resurgence of
COVID-19
that may occur and how quickly and to what extent economic and operating conditions normalize within the markets in which the Company operates. The
COVID-19
pandemic could disrupt the operations of the Company’s third-party manufacturers, suppliers and certification agencies. The Company cannot predict how long the pandemic and measures intended to contain the spread of
COVID-19
will continue and what effect
COVID-19
and the associated containment measures will have on our suppliers and vendors. The Company is working closely with its manufacturing partners and suppliers to help ensure the Company is able to continue its research and development activities necessary to complete the development of its eVTOL aircraft and commence delivery of its services. The impact of COVID on certification agencies is also unknown and may affect the timeline to certify the Company’s aircraft.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and footnotes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and for the years then ended.
Foreign Currency
The Company determined that the local currency is the functional currency for its foreign operations. Assets and liabilities of each foreign subsidiary are translated to United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate during the period. Cumulative translation adjustments related to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in interest and other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Common Stock Warrants Liabilities
In connection with the Merger, each of the 17,250,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 11,533,333 private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”) issued to Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) in connection with RTP’s initial public offering and subsequent overallotment were converted into an equal number of warrants that entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or the Company’s liquidation. Once the Common Stock Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Common Stock Warrants subject to certain Common Stock price and other conditions as defined in the Warrant Agreement between RTP and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Warrant Agreement”) and the Sponsor Agreement by and among the Company, Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and RTP (“Sponsor Agreement”).
 
F-9

Table of Contents
The Company evaluated the Common Stock Warrants and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified within stockholders’ equity. The agreement governing the Common Stock Warrants includes provisions which could result in a different settlement value, for the Private Placement Warrants depending on their holder, and for Public Warrants depending on the registration status of the underlying shares. Because these conditions are not an input into the pricing of a
fixed-for-fixed
option on the Company’s ordinary shares, the Common Stock Warrants are not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at each reporting date.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, no Common Stock Warrants were exercised.
Earnout Shares Liability
In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization and pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, Sponsor agreed to certain terms of vesting,
lock-up
and transfer with respect to the 17,130,000 common shares held by it (“Earnout Shares”). The terms of the Sponsor Agreement specify that the Earnout Shares will vest upon achieving certain specified Release Events, as further described in Note 11. In accordance with ASC
815-40,
the Earnout Shares are not indexed to the Common Stock and therefore are accounted for as a liability (“Earnout Shares Liability”) as of the Closing Date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The estimated fair value of the Earnout Shares Liability was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period (as defined in Note 10) prioritizing the most reliable information available. The assumptions utilized in the calculation are based on the achievement of certain stock price milestones, including the current Company Common Stock price, expected volatility, risk-free rate, expected term and dividend rate.
The Earnout Shares Liability is categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement because the Company estimates projections during the Earnout Period utilizing unobservable inputs. Determination of the fair value of the Earnout Shares Liability involves certain assumptions requiring significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates are related to the valuation of common stock, stock-based awards, preferred stock, preferred stock warrants, earnout shares, common stock warrants, intangible assets acquired, the valuation of and provisions for income taxes and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under related circumstances. The estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as one operating segment because its CODM, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making decisions regarding allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM for operations, operating results, and planning of components below the consolidated level.
 
F-10

Table of Contents
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term debt, redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants, redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants, common stock warrants and Earnout Shares Liability. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term debt approximates its fair value as the effective interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company. Common stock warrants which are initially recorded in equity at the value allocated to them are not subject to remeasurement in subsequent periods. At initial recognition, the Company recorded the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability, common stock warrants liabilities and Earnout Shares Liability on the balance sheet at their fair value. The redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability, common stock warrants liabilities and Earnout Shares Liability are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, short-term investments and other receivables. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash deposited with domestic and foreign financial institutions that are of high-credit quality. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the domestic financial institutions to the extent that cash and cash equivalent deposits are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Foreign cash balances are not insured. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits since inception. Short-term investments consist of government and corporate debt securities and corporate asset backed securities that carry high-credit ratings and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.
The Company’s other receivables are due from United States government agency under the Company’s government grant contracts. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, these two agencies accounted for 6% and 89% of the Company’s other
receivables, respectively. At December 31, 2021, 79% of other receivables was owed to us by Uber related to cash withheld by Uber for vesting of shares to employees acquired in Uber Elevate acquisition (see Note 5). The Company provides for uncollectible amounts when specific credit problems are identified. In doing so, the Company analyzes historical bad debt trends, debtor creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in debtor payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. The recorded carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, restricted cash relates primarily to collateral for a lease obligation.
Marketable Debt Securities
The Company classifies marketable debt securities as
available-for-sale
at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. The Company may sell these securities at any time for use in current operations even if they have not yet reached maturity. As a result, the Company classifies its marketable debt securities, including those with maturities beyond twelve months, as current assets in the
 
F-11

Table of Contents
consolidated balance sheets. These marketable debt securities are carried at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income, which is reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). These marketable debt securities are assessed as to whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. The Company considers impairments to be other than temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely the securities will be sold before the recovery of their cost basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of marketable debt securities and declines in value deemed to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are reported in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Investment in SummerBio, LLC
Following the outbreak of the
COVID-19
pandemic, the Company’s management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to the Company could be repurposed and applied in providing high-volume rapid
COVID-19
testing. To enable the development and deployment of this technology, in May 2020, SummerBio, LLC (“SummerBio”) was established which was 100% beneficially owned by the Company. In August 2020, SummerBio began to generate income through providing the logistical infrastructure for high-volume rapid
COVID-19
testing.
In August, 2020 SummerBio raised additional financing through issuing equity instruments to related parties, and changed the structure of its board of directors. As a result, the Company’s voting interest was reduced to approximately 61.5% and the Company would no longer nominate a majority of the members of SummerBio’s board of directors. The Company concluded that in August 2020, it did not have the ability to direct the decisions that most significantly impact SummerBio’s economic performance, but that the Company still maintained influence over SummerBio. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary SummerBio and, therefore, accounts for its investment in SummerBio under the equity method of accounting.
Accordingly, the Company deconsolidated SummerBio, recognized its remaining investment in SummerBio at fair value of $5.2 million as an equity method investment, derecognized net liabilities of SummerBio of $1.7 million and recognized the resulting gain on deconsolidation of $6.9 million, which is included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
At deconsolidation, the fair value of the Company’s remaining investment in SummerBio was determined by management, with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist. To calculate the total equity value of SummerBio, management used the back-solve method, solving for a total equity value that resulted in Series A preferred unit value consistent with its issuance price of $0.375 per unit. The Company then used the option pricing model to calculate its remaining interest in SummerBio. Management also applied discount due to lack of marketability which was calculated at 14.4%. The key assumptions in the back-solve option pricing method analysis included:
 
   
Back-solve security value – Series A preferred units issued at a price per unit of $0.375;

ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s ownership interest in SummerBio was approximately 45.5% and it was entitled to nominate one member of SummerBio’s board of directors. Summerbio is a related party of the Company. In December 2021, an increase in the number of profit units for SummerBio employees’ stock based awards diluted Company’s equity interest in SummerBio to 43.4% for which the Company recorded a $1.0 million decrease to its investment in SummerBio.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company reviewed its investment in SummerBio for impairment by determining whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. The Company determined that the carrying value of the investment did not exceed its fair value and, therefore, there are no indicators that its investment in SummerBio is impaired. In making this judgment, the Company considered all quantitative and qualitative evidence available to the Company at the time of the review.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally two to ten years. Leasehold improvements and equipment finances under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining term of the lease.
Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations
Upon an acquisition, the Company performs an initial test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets transferred is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, such that the acquisition would not represent a business. If that test suggests that the set of assets and activities is a business, the Company then performs a second test to evaluate whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the result of the second test suggests that the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business combination.
For transactions accounted for as business combinations, the Company allocates the fair value of acquisition consideration to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. Acquisition consideration includes the fair value of any promised contingent consideration. The excess of the fair value of acquisition consideration over the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration is remeasured to its fair value each reporting period with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in general and administrative expenses. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
For transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions, the cost, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. No goodwill is recognized in asset acquisitions.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration transferred for a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment annually on the

first business day of the fiscal fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may exceed its implied fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, however the Company may determine to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.
If the Company assesses qualitative factors and concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company determines not to use the qualitative assessment, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative impairment test requires comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company has identified that its business operates as a single operating segment which is also a single reporting unit for purposes of testing for goodwill impairment. An impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying value, and the Company would record a goodwill impairment loss in the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include identifiable intangible assets, primarily software technologies resulting from acquisitions (see Note 5). Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value. The fair value of software technologies is estimated on the basis of replacement cost and the fair value of contractual agreement asset is based primarily on the discounted cash flow model. Software technologies are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 3 to 5 years. The Company’s estimates of useful lives of intangible assets are based on cash flow forecasts which incorporate various assumptions, including forecasted remaining useful life until technological obsolescence of software.
Contractual Agreement
The Company’s contractual agreement asset (see Note 5) is classified as other
non-current
assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will amortize the contractual agreement asset in proportion to the estimated incremental cash flows earned under the agreement over an estimated period of three years. The Company expects to begin generating incremental cash flows under the contractual agreement asset in 2024.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. The Company did not record any impairment of long-lived assets in 2021 and 2020.
Leases
Leases are evaluated and recorded as capital leases if one of the following is true at inception: (a) the present value of minimum lease payments meets or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the asset, (b) the lease term is greater than or equal to 75% of the economic life of the asset, (c) the lease arrangement contains a bargain purchase option, or (d) title to the property transfers to the Company at the end of the lease. The Company records an asset and liability for capital leases at present value of the minimum lease payments based on the incremental borrowing rate. Assets are depreciated over the useful life in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy while rental payments and interest on the liability are accounted for using the effective interest method.
 
F-14

Table of Contents
Leases that are not classified as capital leases are accounted for as operating leases. Operating lease agreements that have tenant improvement allowances are evaluated for lease incentives. For leases that contain escalating rent payments, the Company recognizes rent expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term, with any lease incentives amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term.
Government Grants
The Company receives payments from government entities under
non-refundable
grants in support of the development of its technology and future services offering. US GAAP for profit-oriented entities does not define government grants; nor is there specific guidance applicable to government grants. Under the Company’s accounting policy for government grants and consistent with
non-authoritative
guidance, grants are recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate and are presented as a reduction of research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. A grant that is compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for which there are no future related costs, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which it becomes receivable as a reduction of research and development expenses.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, costs of consulting, equipment and materials, depreciation and amortization and allocations of overhead, including rent, information technology costs and utilities. Research and development expenses are partially offset by payments the Company received in the form of government grants, including those received under the Agility Prime program.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, related to executive management, finance, legal and human resource functions. Other costs include business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, including allocated depreciation, rent, information technology costs and utilities.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax asset and liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, ongoing tax planning, and forecasts of
 
F-15

Table of Contents
future taxable income on a
jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction
basis. Based on the level of historical losses, the Company has established a full valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related liabilities line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, the redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants, common stock subject to repurchase, stock options and earnout shares are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is presented in conformity with the
two-class
method required for participating securities as the redeemable convertible preferred stock is considered a participating security. The Company’s participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the net loss is attributed entirely to common stockholders. Because the Company has reported a net loss for the reporting periods presented, the diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for those periods.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss includes all changes in equity (net assets) during the period from nonowner sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss consists of its net loss, its cumulative translation adjustments, and its unrealized gains or losses on
available-for-sale
debt securities.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures and records the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant. When the observable market price or volatility that the Company uses to determine grant date fair value does not reflect certain material
non-public
information known to the Company but unavailable to marketplace participants at the time the market price is observed, the Company determines whether an adjustment to the observable market price is required. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option’s expected term, expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.
Fair Value of Common Stock
Prior to the Merger on August 10, 2021, the fair value of the Joby Aviation common stock was determined by the board of directors with assistance from management and, in part, on input from an independent third-party
 
F-16

Table of Contents
valuation firm. The board of directors determines the fair value of common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including valuations of comparable companies, sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock, operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of the Joby Aviation common stock and the general and industry-specific economic outlook.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Prior to the Merger on August 10, 2021, the redeemable convertible preferred stock was recorded outside of permanent equity because while it was not mandatorily redeemable, in the event of certain events considered not solely within the Company’s control, such as a merger, acquisition, and sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (each, a “deemed liquidation event”), the redeemable convertible preferred stock would have become redeemable at the option of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding shares. The Company had not adjusted the carrying values of the redeemable convertible preferred stock to the redemption amount of such shares because it was uncertain whether or when a deemed liquidation event would occur that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation preferences to holders of shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock. All redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to common stock as a result of the Merger (see Note 3).
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As such the Company is eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced reporting and extended transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards for public business entities. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, will not be subject to the timeline for adopting new or revised accounting standards for public business entities that are not emerging growth companies, and will follow the transition guidance applicable to private companies.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-10,
Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases
, which provides clarification to ASU
No. 2016-02.
These ASUs require an entity to recognize a lease liability and a ROU asset in the balance sheets for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged, while lessees will no longer be provided with a source of
off-balance-sheet
financing. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-11,
Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
, which allows entities to elect a modified retrospective transition method where entities may continue to apply the existing lease guidance during the comparative periods and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoptions rather than in the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating, but has not yet completed, the assessment of the quantitative impact that adopting these ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and assessing any changes to its processes and controls. The adoption of these ASUs will result in the recognition of
right-of-use
assets and the corresponding lease liabilities.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and
available-for-sale
debt securities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
F-17

Table of Contents
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
, that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation and modified the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance also establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. The amendment is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-01,
Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
, which makes improvements related to the following two topics: (1) accounting for certain equity securities when the equity method of accounting is applied or discontinued, and (2) scope considerations related to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Reverse Recapitalization
On August 10, 2021, RTP and Legacy Joby completed the Merger, and RTP changed its name to Joby Aviation, Inc.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on February 23, 2021, RTP entered into separate subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement”) with a number of investors (each a “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and RTP agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 83,500,000 shares of Common Stock (“PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement (“PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing closed substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Merger.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on February 23, 2021, RTP, Sponsor and Legacy Joby entered into the Sponsor Agreement pursuant to which 17,130,000 shares of the Company (“Earnout Shares”) became subject to vesting with 20% of the Earnout Shares vesting in equal tranches when the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is greater than $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $32.00 and $50.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days (the “Vesting Events”). After 10 years following the consummation of the Merger, any Earnout Shares which have not yet vested are forfeited.
Pursuant to ASC 805, for financial accounting and reporting purposes, Legacy Joby was deemed the accounting acquirer with RTP being treated as the accounting acquiree, and the Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Joby, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of the Legacy Joby issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RTP were stated at historical costs, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, and were
 
F-18

Table of Contents
consolidated with Legacy Joby’s financial statements on the Closing Date. Operations prior to the Closing Date are presented solely as those of Legacy Joby. The number of Legacy Joby common shares and redeemable convertible preferred shares for all periods prior to the Closing Date have been retrospectively increased using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”).
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company gave effect to the issuance of 127,333,290 shares of Common Stock for the previously issued RTP common stock and PIPE Shares that were outstanding at the Closing Date. The Company raised $1,067.9 million of proceeds including the contribution of $232.9 million of cash held in RTP’s trust account from its initial public offering, net of redemptions of RTP public stockholders of $424.2 million and reimbursements for RTP’s expenses of $33.3 million, and $835.0 million of cash in connection with the PIPE Financing. The Company incurred $50.4 million of transaction costs, consisting of banking, legal, and other professional fees, of which $41.3 million was related to common stock issued during the Merger and was recorded as a reduction to additional
paid-in
capital. The remaining $9.1 million was related to Earnout Shares and was expensed immediately upon consummation of the Merger as transaction expenses related to the Merger in the consolidated statements of operations.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
 
   
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
 
   
Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and
 
   
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company’s financial assets consist of Level 1 and 2 assets. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable debt securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because they are valued using either quoted market prices or inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. The Company’s fixed income
available-for-sale
securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company’s marketable debt securities were derived from
non-binding
market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar instruments.
The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of Level 2 and Level 3 liabilities. Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants within Level 2, because they were valued
 
F-19

Table of Contents
using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly observable in the market, including readily available pricing for the Company’s Public Warrants. The Company classifies the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant and the Earnout Shares Liability within Level 3. The Common Stock Warrant and Earnout Shares Liability are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value of Level 3 liabilities are recorded in other income, net, in consolidated statements of operations.
The following tables sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Note 5. Acquisitions
Acquisition of Uber Elevate
On January 11, 2021, the Company entered into certain agreements with Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”), under which it acquired Uber Elevate, Inc. (“Uber Elevate”), a portion of Uber’s business dedicated to development of aerial ridesharing, issued to Uber a Convertible Promissory Note (“Uber CPN”) and entered into a collaboration agreement with Uber (the “Uber Agreement”).
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded tax related measurement period adjustments to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities reflecting tax versus book differences for assets acquired during the Uber Elevate transaction. In relation to these adjustments, the Company updated the allocation of the total consideration between the Uber Elevate business acquisition and the collaboration agreement’s contractual asset. The adjustments reflect tax related facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition of Uber Elevate, the valuation of which was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2021. The impact of these adjustments resulted in an increase of $5.8 million in goodwill, an increase of $6.2 million in deferred tax assets, an increase of $4.7 million in the contractual agreement asset, offset by a deferred tax liability of $16.7 million. In addition, the Company released a deferred tax asset valuation allowance resulting in an income tax benefit of $10.5 million, as the deferred tax liability provided the Company with a source of future taxable income.

Table of Contents
Uber Elevate was a business incubated within Uber, which had developed multiple proprietary software technologies and built a highly skilled engineering team focused on multimodal ride sharing coordination, connected airspace management, urban transportation and simulation, and certifiable aviation grade battery technology. The Uber Elevate acquisition was intended to complement the Company’s existing technologies and expertise necessary to gain integration into the Uber app and progress commercialization of aerial ridesharing services. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company, Uber and Uber Elevate (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Uber Elevate and certain other assets (see below) in exchange for 8,924,009 shares of Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was $8.70 per share, resulting in the total fair value of consideration transferred to Uber of $77.6 million. The fair value of Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was estimated using a multi-scenario option pricing method model, consistent with the approach employed to value the Company’s common stock. This model specifically considered the potential for the conversion of Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock on a
1-for-1
basis in the event of a merger with (or acquisition of) a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”).
No single identifiable assets or group of similar identifiable assets of Uber Elevate represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. Further, the Uber Elevate acquisition included inputs, represented by tangible assets and developed software technologies, and processes, represented by an experienced workforce, which together significantly contribute to Uber Elevate’s ability to create outputs, represented by commercialization of aerial ridesharing. The Company concluded that Uber Elevate represented a business, and acquisition of Uber Elevate was accounted as a business combination.
Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, certain employees of Uber Elevate who continued their employment with the Company following the acquisition of Uber Elevate were allowed to retain their unvested Uber restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) that would otherwise have vested on or prior to December 16, 2021, provided that such employees remain employed by the Company through December 16, 2021 (the “Uber RSU Provision”). All RSUs subject to the Uber RSU provision vested on December 16, 2021. This incentive was provided by Uber to such employees to ensure successful integration of Uber Elevate and progress of the development efforts under Uber Agreement (see below). Because Uber is also a holder of pecuniary interest in the Company, the Company concluded that the Uber RSU Provision in substance represents
non-cash
compensation of the Company. The total fair value of the
non-cash
compensation as of the vesting date was $5.0 million and was recognized over the period between the acquisition date and December 16, 2021. $5.0 million was recognized as other
non-cash
compensation during the year ended December 31, 2021. $4.6 million and $0.4 million are included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.
The Uber CPN was issued in exchange for gross proceeds of $75.0 million, which is the note’s face amount. The Uber CPN bore interest at simple interest rate of 5% per annum and matured two years after its issuance. Uber CPN was convertible into common or preferred stock of Legacy Joby, depending on the occurrence or
non-occurrence
of various equity financing scenarios, including an IPO or a merger with (or acquisition of) a SPAC. The Uber CPN was issued at a premium, as its fair value at issuance was $74.5 million, $0.5 million below its face amount. Because the Uber CPN was considered a transaction separate from the business combination, but would not have been entered into absent the business combination, the Company recognized the $0.5 million premium at issuance of Uber CPN as a reduction of the total consideration transferred to Uber for the acquisition of the Uber Elevate. Upon closing of the Merger, the unpaid principal amount of $75.0 million plus accrued and unpaid interest in the amount of $2.2 million was converted into 7,716,780 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation.
Under the terms of the Uber Agreement, the Company and Uber agreed to continue focused development of their respective existing technologies to achieve mutual integration of their transportation services offerings to their customers.

Table of Contents
Under the Uber Agreement, the Company and Uber agree to work together to enable seamless passenger services across their respective businesses and for customers of either company to be able to order the services of the other party via their respective applications. The Uber Agreement includes terms governing the software integration and data-sharing that will be necessary to enable such services across one or both businesses, regardless of the initial platform or combination of services requested by the passenger. As part of the Uber Agreement, the Company commits to continue developing its passenger air mobility services and that Uber’s customers will be able to purchase the Company’s air mobility services through the Uber app. Similarly, Uber commits to enable its customers to order the Company’s services or combined services through the Uber app. The parties also intend to work together to enable Uber to fulfill “last mile” terrestrial ride services to and from the Company’s air mobility services end points. The parties intend to market to their respective customers and generally the availability of the other’s services. The Uber Agreement also includes terms regarding branding to be incorporated into the parties’ respective ride-hailing applications, as well as a management process for the two parties to work together in both the development and commercialization phases contemplated by the agreement. The Uber Agreement further makes clear that each party retains independence in setting the prices for its own services. Finally, the Uber Agreement contains standard and customary intellectual property cross-licensing and intellectual property ownership terms, limitations of liability clauses, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other typical commercial terms.
The Uber Agreement embodies significant benefits to the Company, consisting primarily of customer demand aggregation, improved load factor as well as favorable commissions. The fair value of the asset representing these benefits (the “contractual agreement asset”) at inception was $49.5 million. The Company considered whether the Uber Agreement, entered into concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement, is a part of the Uber Elevate business combination, or is a separate transaction. Under ASC 805, a transaction entered into by or on behalf of the acquirer or primarily for the benefit of the acquirer or the combined entity, rather than primarily for the benefit of the acquiree (or its former owners) before the combination, is likely to be a separate transaction. The Uber Agreement contains features, which in combination result in significant financial and other benefits primarily to the Company. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the Uber Agreement represents a transaction separate from the Uber Elevate acquisition.
Because the Uber Agreement was not a part of the Uber Elevate business combination, the Company used the relative fair value method to allocate the total consideration transferred to Uber between the purchase consideration for acquiring Uber Elevate business and the contractual agreement asset. The Company will amortize the contractual agreement asset in proportion to the estimated incremental cash flows earned under the Uber Agreement over an estimated period of three years. The Company expects to begin generating incremental cash flows under the contractual agreement asset in 2024.
The methodologies used in determining the fair values of Uber Elevate and contractual agreement asset, as well as the respective key assumptions, are as follows.
Valuation of Uber Elevate —
the estimated fair value of Uber Elevate was $20.0 million. The Company determined the fair value of Uber Elevate using the asset accumulation method (also known as the net asset method). This method measures the value of equity as the sum of the values of a company’s assets reduced by the sum of the values of its liabilities. Uber Elevate assets included property and equipment, developed software technologies, and the assembled workforce. The Company concluded that the fair value of property and equipment was not materially different from its book value. In determining the fair value of developed software technologies, the Company used the replacement cost approach, under which the Company estimates the fair value based upon the estimated cost of replacing or reproducing the asset, less adjustments for physical deterioration and functional obsolescence, if relevant. The Company based valuation of developed technologies on its estimates of development time and cost for each development phase and technology element, which included estimates of engineering costs per person-month for concept development and design, coding, testing and quality control review and operations costs. The Company then added to the total replacement cost an allowance for a fair return on investment during the development period of 35%, based on the peer group
 
F-23

Table of Contents
weighted average cost of capital analysis. This value is then adjusted for depreciation and/or obsolescence present in each software technology using an
age-life
calculation, reducing the preliminary values by 23.0% to 37.0% percent, depending on management’s estimate of the age and expected remaining life of the existing software code bases.
The Company based valuation of assembled workforce on its estimates of average cost per employee, which included average annual and monthly salaries, overhead burden and direct recruiting and training costs.
Valuation of the contractual agreement asset —
the estimated fair value of the contractual agreement asset was $49.5 million. The Company determined the value of the contractual agreement asset by using the incremental cashflow approach, which involved comparing the Company’s forecasted cash flow with the Uber Elevate assets in place, versus without them in place, and then deducting the estimated fair values of key contributory assets, including developed software technology and the acquired workforce, since the Company’s “with” scenario assumes that those contributory assets are in place as well (the “with and without” method). The forecast model assumes that the contractual agreement asset and acquired Uber Elevate assets will result in incremental cash flow over a three-year period due to lower costs and higher load factors. The Company applied a 25.0% discount rate, which was based upon the cost of capital analysis.
The following table summarizes the allocation of total consideration between Uber Elevate and the contractual agreement asset (in thousands, except share and per share data):
 
Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock (8,924,009 shares at $8.70 per share fair value)

The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon the Company’s conclusion that there are strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. Goodwill of $10.8 million recorded for the Uber Elevate acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information
Uber Elevate did not generate any revenue prior to its acquisition by the Company. In addition, due to the close proximity of Uber Elevate acquisition date to the beginning of 2021, the
pre-acquisition
net loss of Uber Elevate was immaterial. Therefore, the pro forma information that presents the combined results of operations for the period presented, as if Uber Elevate was acquired as of the beginning of 2021 is not materially different from the consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Other Acquisitions
On April 6, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of an entity engaged in the development of transportation technology with application in the aviation sector, whereby it acquired all the outstanding shares of the entity in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $5.0 million in cash, and (ii) 2,677,200 restricted shares of Legacy Joby Series C Preferred Stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $23.9 million (the “first acquisition”). The Series C Preferred Stock was converted into an equivalent number of shares of Legacy Joby common stock on a
one-to-one
basis immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.
On December 21, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of an entity engaged in the development of radar systems technology with application in the aviation and other sectors, whereby it acquired all the outstanding shares of the entity in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $2.8 million in cash, and (ii) 340,000 restricted stock units of Joby Aviation common stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $2.4 million (the “second acquisition”).
Upon closing of the acquisitions described above, the former shareholders of the acquired entities became employees and/or consultants of various Company subsidiaries. The shares issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the restricted stock units issued are subject to vesting over a
six-year
period and are contingent on such holders continuing their employment or consulting relationship with the Company. If the former shareholder’s employment or consulting relationship is terminated, all of then unvested shares or restricted stock units that were issued as part of the total consideration in connection with the acquisitions described above will be forfeited by such holder (except in certain circumstances, where an employee or consultant is terminated by the Company without cause, or resigns for good reason, in which case the vesting may be accelerated). Because the vesting is contingent upon the former shareholders’ continued employment or consulting relationship, such shares are considered to be a post-combination compensation expense rather than part of the purchase consideration. Therefore, the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock and restricted stock units of $23.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, is recognized as a stock-based compensation expense over the
six-year
vesting term, commencing on the respective acquisition dates.
The first acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was represented by a group of similar assets. The purchase consideration of $5.0 million was allocated to $5.0 million of the acquired
in-process
research and development (“IPR&D”) assets, $0.1 million of the acquired current liabilities and $0.1 million of acquired current assets. The Company concluded that acquired IPR&D assets are to be used only in specific programs and have no alternative future use if such programs fail to result in a commercialized product. Therefore, the acquired IPR&D assets were written off immediately after the acquisition date and reflected as part of research and development expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The second acquisition was accounted for as a business combination because the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constituted a business. The purchase consideration of $2.8 million was allocated to $1.7 million of the acquired intangible assets, primarily developed technology, $1.2 million of the acquired current assets, primarily cash and account receivables, and $0.1 million of the acquired current liabilities.

Note 7. Debt
Tenant Improvement Loan
Under the terms of one of the Company’s operating lease agreements (Note 8), the landlord provided the Company with a loan of $1.6 million to be used in financing leasehold improvements. The loan was drawn by the Company in six separate installments, of which two installments were drawn in December 2018, for a total of $0.5 million, and the remaining installments were drawn in January, April and October 2019 for a total of $1.1 million. Each loan installment is repayable in equal monthly payments over a period of six years, commencing in February 2019 and ending in October 2025. In the event of early lease termination by the Company, the loan is repayable within 30 days of the termination. Outstanding balances accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum. The average effective interest rate for the loan is 8.1%. Maturities on the tenant improvement loan were as follows (in thousands):

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, including the advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential losses from any claims or legal proceedings are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations in a given period. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
The Company has indemnified its Board of Directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal.

Prior to the Merger the preferred stock had the following various rights and preferences:
Dividends
Holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive
non-cumulative
dividends prior and in preference to dividends declared on common stock at an annual rate of 8% of the original issuance price per share, adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Payment of any dividends to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock will be on a pro rata, pari passu basis in proportion to the dividend rates for each respective series. After all redeemable convertible preferred stock dividends have been paid, the holders of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them, on an
as-converted
basis.
Conversion
Shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into shares of common stock at a rate equal to dividing the original issue price of the relevant series of

redeemable convertible preferred stock by the conversion price of $5.6029 for Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, $1.2838 for Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock, $0.2197 for Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, $0.1784 for Series

and Series
Seed-1
redeemable convertible preferred stock, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like. The conversion prices are also subject to adjustment upon issuance of additional common stock for a consideration per share less than the applicable conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock. In addition, each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock either (i) upon the completion of a public offering provided the public offering price is not less than $5.6029 per share, as adjusted, aggregate gross proceeds are greater than $100,000,000 and the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange (ii) upon written consent of the holders of at least 60% of the preferred stock outstanding.​​​​​​​
Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of assets or change of control of the Company (any of such events representing a “liquidation event”), the holders of shares of each series of redeemable convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of proceeds from such liquidation event to the holders of common stock, the greater of (i) an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable original issuance price for such series of redeemable convertible preferred stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share, or (ii) an amount that would be received by the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock if such shares held by them immediately prior to the liquidation event were converted into the respective number of common shares (regardless of whether such conversion actually takes place), in which case such holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock will not be eligible to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of such series of redeemable convertible preferred stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into common shares.
If the proceeds distributed among the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the entire proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
Upon completion of the distributions made to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock, all of the remaining proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each such holder.
Voting
The holders of each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock could be converted. With respect to such vote, the holders have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of common stock.
As long as at least 41,486,356 shares of Series C remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the holders of a majority of shares of Series C are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. As long as at least 24,200,374 shares each of Series B and Series A remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the holders of a majority of shares of Series B and Series A, each voting as separate classes, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors.

Note 11. Stock Warrants and Earnout Shares
In-Q-Tel
Warrant
On March 19, 2021 the Company entered into a government grant contract with
In-Q-Tel,
an independent nonprofit corporation that partners with the U.S. intelligence and national security community, under which the Company receives payments from
In-Q-Tel
for reports on the Company’s aircraft development progress and future services offering. Upon submission of certain specified deliverables, the Company will receive a total amount of $1.0 million from
In-Q-Tel.
In connection with entering the government grant contract with
In-Q-Tel,
the Company issued to
In-Q-Tel
a warrant for 68,649 shares of Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock with an exercise price of $0.0029 per share and a
10-year
term (the
“In-Q-Tel
Warrant”). The fair value of the
In-Q-Tel
Warrant of $0.6 million was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: preferred stock fair value $8.77, volatility of 60.2%, risk-free rate of 0.07%, probability weighted average expected term of 1.1 years, and dividend rate of 0%. At issuance the Company recognized deferred cost for the amount of the issuance date fair value of the
In-Q-Tel
Warrant, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The deferred cost is amortized to research and development expenses as the Company earns the $1.0 million in government grants from
In-Q-Tel.
 
F-31

Table of Contents
In connection with the Merger, the
In-Q-Tel
Warrant was automatically exercised, on a cashless basis, for Legacy Joby’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, and the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into shares of Legacy Joby common stock on a
one-for-one
basis. Immediately prior to the exercise, the liability associated with
In-Q-Tel
Warrant was remeasured and reclassified to Legacy Joby Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock. The fair value of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant of $0.6 million immediately prior to the exercise was determined as the intrinsic value based on the exercise price of $0.0029 per share and the fair value of the common stock of Joby Aviation into which the underlying shares of the redeemable convertible preferred stock would be converted upon the Merger at the exchange ratio of 3.4572.
SVB Common Stock Warrants
In connection with the issuance of convertible notes, in March 2017 and May 2018, the Company issued to the note holders warrants to purchase 539,675 and 218,840 shares of Legacy Joby’s common stock, respectively, with exercise prices of $0.029 and $0.194 per share, respectively. The Company allocated the proceeds between convertible notes and common stock warrants on a relative fair value basis and recorded the amount allocated to the common stock warrants within additional
paid-in
capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as the common stock warrants met all criteria for equity classification. As the common stock warrants were equity classified, they did not require subsequent remeasurement after issuance.
In connection with the closing of the Merger, all outstanding common stock warrants were net exercised on a cashless basis for 752,732 shares of common stock of Joby Aviation.
Private Placement Warrants
The Private Placement Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021, at a fair value of $21.9 million and the Private Placement Warrant liability was remeasured to fair value as of December 31, 2021, resulting in a gain of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is included in gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company concluded that the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants approximates the fair value of the Company’s Public Warrants. Therefore, Private Placement Warrants were valued by reference to the observable market price for the Company’s Public Warrants.
Public Warrants
The Public Warrants became exercisable on September 9, 2021, 30 days after the completion of the Merger.
The Public Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021 at a fair value of $32.8 million and the public warrant liability was remeasured to fair value based upon the market price as of December 31, 2021, resulting in a gain of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, classified within gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no exercises of Public Warrants during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Earnout Shares Liability
Under the vesting schedule, 20% of the Earnout Shares vest in tranches when the volume-weighted average price of the Joby Aviation common stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $32.00 and $50.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days (each such occurrence a “Triggering Event”). After 10 years following the consummation of the Merger (the “Earnout Period”), any Earnout Shares which have not yet vested are forfeited.
 
F-32

Table of Contents
Upon the closing of the Merger, the Earnout Shares were accounted for as a liability at fair value because the Triggering Events that determine the number of Earnout Shares required to be issued include events that are not solely indexed to the common stock of Joby Aviation. The estimated fair value of the total Earnout Shares Liability at the closing of the Merger on August 10, 2021, was $149.9 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period using the most reliable information available. Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:​​​​​​​
 
    
August 10,
2021
   
December 31,
2021
 
Expected volatility
     62.20     72.10

Dividend rate
     0.00     0.00
Expected term (in years)
     10.00       9.61  
No Earnout Shares vested as of December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized gain related to the change in the fair value of the Earnout Shares Liability of $40.1 million, included as gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the consolidated statement of operations.
Note 12. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company’s common stock and warrants trade on the NYSE under the symbol “JOBY” and “JOBY WS”, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue the following shares and classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share: (i) 1,400,000,000 shares of common stock; and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The Company has retroactively adjusted the shares issued and outstanding prior to August 10, 2021 to give effect to the Exchange Ratio.
Preferred stock may be issued at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and without further stockholder action. The shares of preferred stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, future acquisitions, capital raising transactions consisting of equity or convertible debt, stock dividends or issuances under current and any future stock incentive plans, pursuant to which the Company may provide equity incentives to employees, officers and directors, and in certain instances may be used as an antitakeover defense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no preferred stock issued and outstanding.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors, and as a consequence, minority stockholders are not able to elect directors on the basis of their votes alone. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no dividends have been declared to date.
The Company had reserved common stock, on an
as-converted
basis, for future issuance as follows:

Former Parent Reorganization
At incorporation, the Company issued to its then parent entity Joby Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Former Parent”) 101,581,936 common shares and assumed the substantial majority of the Former Parent’s workforce. The Company’s common shares were issued to the Former Parent to achieve the economic effect whereby the then holders of the Former Parent’s common stock, stock options (the “Former Parent Options”) and restricted stock units (the “Former Parent RSUs”) would have ownership rights to an identical number of common shares of the Company as that to which they are entitled to with respect to the Former Parent’s common shares.
In November 2016 the Company and Former Parent entered into a stock repurchase agreement under which the Company would be entitled to repurchase at $0.02 per share or cancel the identical number of common shares issued to the Former Parent which becomes subject to repurchase or cancellation by the Former Parent under the Former Parent Options and Former Parent RSUs if such options and RSUs are unvested when an employee is terminated or vested options expire unexercised.
On October 25, 2021, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement dated as of October 25, 2021 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among the Company, Former Parent and JA Holdings Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings Merger Sub”) pursuant to which (a) the Holdings Merger Sub merged with and into Former Parent, and the separate corporate existence of Holdings Merger Sub ceased and Former Parent survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”), and (b) immediately following the First Merger, Former Parent was merged with and into the Company, following which the separate corporate existence of Former Parent ceased and the Company continued as the surviving corporation (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Former Parent Reorganization”).
Upon consummation of the Former Parent Reorganization, (a) each share of capital stock of Former Parent that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined in Reorganization Agreement) was cancelled and converted into a right to receive such a number of shares of common stock of the Company as set forth in the Reorganization Agreement (the “Former Parent Share Issuances”), and (b) immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger, each share of common stock of the Company held by Former Parent immediately prior to the Second Merger was cancelled and retired by the Company. As a result, an aggregate of 98,802,553 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Former Parent were cancelled and retired, and an aggregate of 98,357,200 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued by the Company to the prior stockholders of Former Parent.
Accordingly, Former Parent Reorganization did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements, other than the disclosure of the number of legally issued and outstanding common shares, which decreased by 445,353 common shares, and the number of fully vested common stock options, which increased by 445,353 options.
Restricted Stock
In 2017, the Company issued 829,727 shares of common stock under restricted stock purchase agreements, which allow the Company to repurchase the unvested shares of common stock if the stockholder ceases to provide services to the Company. The Company’s right to repurchase the stock lapses over ten years. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 464,129 and 484,871 shares of common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase at a weighted average price of $0.029 per share and $0.1 million was recorded as a stock repurchase liability in early exercise stock option liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 13. Stock-based Compensation
2016 and 2021 Stock Plans
 
 
F-34

Table of Contents
In November 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “2016 Plan”) under which officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of the Company or its affiliates may be granted incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units.
Under the 2016 Plan, stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options generally have contractual terms of ten years. Incentive stock options (ISO) may only be granted to employees, whereas all other stock awards may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and other key persons.
Outstanding options generally vest over six years, contain a
one-year
cliff, are exercisable immediately and, upon early exercise, are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price. If an ISO is granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock, the term of the ISO is five years. Options issued under the 2016 Plan must be priced at no less than the fair value of the shares on the date of the grant provided, however, that the exercise price of an option granted to a 10% stockholder is not less than 110% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the exercisability provisions of a stock option agreement at its sole discretion.
The fair value of the RSU’s granted under the 2016 Plan is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Generally, RSUs have six years vesting period and contractual terms of ten years.
On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). As of December 31, 2021, 67,264,890 shares were available for grant under the 2021 Plan. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares equal to four percent (4%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company can grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2021 there were no awards issued under 2021 Plan.
On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”). As of December 31, 2021, 6,653,530 shares were available for grant under the 2021 ESPP. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to half percent (0.5%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the 2021 ESPP, participating employees may be offered the option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price which equals 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not yet implemented the 2021 ESPP and no shares had been issued under the 2021 ESPP.
The Company also allows certain option holders to exercise unvested options and stock purchase rights to purchase shares of common stock. Common shares received from such early exercises are subject to a right of repurchase at the original issuance price. The Company’s repurchase right with respect to these shares typically lapse over six years as the shares become vested. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 6,918,483 and 10,007,107 shares, respectively, were subject to repurchase at a weighted average price of $0.10 per share and $0.11 per share, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was recorded as a stock repurchase lability in early exercised stock option liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Upon the effectiveness of the Company’s 2021 Plan, the Company ceased to grant awards under the 2016 Plan. However, all outstanding awards under the 2016 Plan continue to be governed by their existing terms under the 2016 Plan.
As of December 31, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock awards under the 2016 Plan was approximately $120.4 million to be recognized over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of 4.84 years.
Former Parent Plan
The Company concluded that the Former Parent Options and Former Parent RSUs represent in substance stock-based compensation awards of the Company (the “Former Parent Plan”) as they were designed to compensate the Company’s employees. Upon Former Parent Reorganization all outstanding options were canceled see Note 12. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, zero and 2,104,345 common shares of the Company, respectively were subject to repurchase at $0.01 per share because they related to early exercises of Former Parent Options.

Total stock-based compensation expense for stock awards under the under the Former Parent Plan recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was less than $0.1 million.
The total grant date fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was less than $0.1 million.
The assumptions in the Black-Scholes option-pricing models used to determine the fair value of stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate
     —

Expected volatility —
As the Company is not publicly traded, the expected volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to the Company’s business corresponding to the expected term of the awards.
Risk-free interest rate —
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for
zero-coupon
U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected term of the awards.
Expected dividend yield —
The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company currently has no history or expectation of declaring dividends on its common stock.
Expected term —
The expected term represents the period these stock awards are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior.
Other Stock-based Awards
In 2017, the Company issued 3,370,766 common stock options outside of the 2016 Option Plan.

In connection with the acquisition of Uber Elevate on January 11, 2021, a deferred tax liability was established for the book versus tax basis difference associated with the contractual agreement asset (see Note 5). This deferred tax liability created an additional source of income to realize the Company’s deferred tax assets. As the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets, this additional source of income resulted in a corresponding release of the Company’s previously recorded valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets. Consistent with the applicable guidance, this release of the valuation allowance was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as an income tax benefit.
The following shows the changes in the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as follows (in thousands):

The Company has adopted the accounting policy that interest and penalties recognized are classified as part of its income taxes. The Company does not anticipate that its total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to settlement of examination or the expiration of statute of limitations during the next 12 months. Due to the full valuation allowance at December 31, 2021, current adjustments to the unrecognized tax benefit will have no impact on our effective income tax rate. Any adjustments made after the valuation allowance is released will have an impact on the tax rate.
In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
 
F-40

Table of Contents
deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the business in which the Company operates, projections of future profitability are difficult and past operating results are not necessarily indicative of future profitability. Management does not believe it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized; accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established on net deferred income tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $53.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021, and by $37.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $448.9 million, of which approximately $15.8 million expire between 2036 and 2037 and the remainder do not expire. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had federal NOLs of $261.4 million of which approximately $15.8 million will expire between 2036 and 2037 and the remainder do not expire. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had state NOLs of $435.0 million and $256.0 million, respectively, that will begin to expire in 2036. In addition, the Company had foreign NOLs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had federal research and development credits of $17.7 million and California research and development credits of $16.3 million. The federal credits will expire beginning 2036, while California credits have no expiration. At December 31, 2020, the Company had federal research and development credits of $10.5 million and California research and development credits of $9.5 million. The federal credits will expire beginning 2036, while California credits have no expiration.
The federal and state net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to significant limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and similar provisions of state law. These Code sections limit the federal net operating loss and credit carryforwards that may be used in any year in the event of an “ownership change”. A Section 382 “ownership change” generally occurs if one or more shareholders or groups of shareholders, who own at least 5% of the Company’s stock, increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. The Company may have previously experienced, and may in the future experience, one or more Section 382 “ownership changes”. If so, the Company may lose some or all of the tax benefits of its NOLs and tax credits. The extent of such limitations for prior years, if any, has not been determined.
The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. As a result of the Company’s net operating loss and credit carryforwards all of its years are subject to federal and state examination.
Note 15. Related Party Transactions
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and founder has ownership interests in certain vendors providing services to the Company. These services purchased from these vendors include rent of office space and certain utilities and maintenance services related to the property on which the rented premises are located. Expenses and related payments to these vendors totaled $1.3 million and $1.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company owed these vendors $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
In addition, during 2021 and 2020 subsequent to deconsolidation of SummerBio (see Note 2), the Company entered into certain transactions with SummerBio. These transactions included purchases of

testing services for its employees for the total amount of $1.6 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as well as providing its personnel to SummerBio to assist in SummerBio’s research and development efforts and thus generating income of $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was included as a reduction of the Company’s research and development expenses. Total amount due to SummerBio at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million,

respectively, and total amount due from SummerBio at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was nil and $0.2 million, respectively.
Note 16. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for 2021 and 2020, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.

Table of Contents
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Additionally, our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware, if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was our director or officer or was serving at our request in an official capacity for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements also require us, if so requested, to advance all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.
