None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act included, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(l)There is no (i) material suit, action, proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or threatened in writing against Joby or (ii) except as previously and expressly disclosed in Joby’s public filings with the SEC prior to the date hereof, judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator outstanding against Joby.
(m)Joby is not under any obligation to pay any broker’s or finder’s fee or commission (or similar fee) in connection with the sale of the Shares. None of Joby nor its affiliates or subsidiaries have taken any action which could result in Investor being required to pay any such fee or commission.
