PROXY STATEMENT

2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 14, 2024

INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION AND VOTING

The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the board of directors of Joby Aviation, Inc., for use at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 14, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time via live audio webcast on the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/JOBY2024.

NOTE REGARDING 2021 BUSINESS COMBINATION

On August 10, 2021, we consummated the business combination (the “Merger”), contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 23, 2021, pursuant to which Joby Aero, Inc. (“Legacy Joby”) was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reinvent Technology Partners (“RTP”). Legacy Joby survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of RTP, which was renamed Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation”).

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this proxy statement to “we,” “us,” “the Company,” “Joby” and “Joby Aviation” refer to the consolidated operations of Joby Aviation, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to “Legacy Joby” refer to Joby Aero, Inc. prior to the Merger.

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT

Why you received this proxy statement. You are viewing or have received these proxy materials because Joby’s board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. As permitted by SEC rules, Joby is making this proxy statement and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) available to its stockholders electronically via the Internet. On or about April 25, 2024 (the “Notice Date”), we mailed to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners at the close of business on April 15, 2024 (the “Record Date”) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2023 Annual Report and vote online. On the Notice Date, all stockholders and beneficial owners will have the ability to access, free of charge, all proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice.

If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request them. The Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy statement and 2023 Annual Report. The Notice also instructs you on how you can submit your proxy over the Internet. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials contained on the Notice.

Printed Copies of Our Proxy Materials. If you received printed copies of our proxy materials, instructions regarding how you can vote are contained on the proxy card included in the materials.

Householding. The SEC’s rules permit us to deliver a single set of proxy materials to one address shared by two or more of our stockholders, unless we received contrary instructions from the impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant cost savings as well as reduce the environmental impact of printing and mailing multiple sets of materials to the same location.

If you prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy materials, contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. at 1-866-540-7095 or in writing at Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. We will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the proxy materials to any stockholder who makes a request.

If you are currently a stockholder sharing an address with another stockholder and wish to receive only one copy of future proxy materials for your household, please contact Broadridge at the above phone number or address.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will act upon the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. In addition, following the formal portion of the Annual Meeting, management will be available to respond to questions from stockholders.

What proposals are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and how does the board of directors recommend that I vote on these proposals?


Proposal		Board Recommendation
1	To elect JoeBen Bevirt, Aicha Evans and Michael Thompson as Class III directors, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.	FOR each of the nominees

2	Ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Joby’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.	FOR

3	To approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay Vote”).	FOR

We know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, however, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 15, 2024. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote for all matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 706,662,312 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between being a “record holder” and holding shares in “street name”?

A record holder holds shares in their name. Shares held in street name are shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on an individual’s behalf.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in street name?

If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares held in street name. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If your shares are held in street name and you would like to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker or other nominee to obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other nominee that gives you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote if I am a record holder?

If you are a record holder, you may vote:

•Internet — You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the Notice or proxy card;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•Telephone — You can vote by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions on the proxy card;

•Mail — You can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card, which you may have received by mail; or

•Electronically at the Meeting — If you attend the meeting online, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials to vote electronically during the meeting.

Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on June 13, 2024. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting online, we urge you to vote your shares as promptly as possible to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Yes, you can change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the vote is taken.

If you are a record holder, you can change your vote by:

•submitting a duly executed proxy with a later date using any of the methods described above;

•providing written notice of revocation to Joby’s Corporate Secretary at Joby Aviation, Inc., 333 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, California 95060, prior to the Annual Meeting; or

•voting online at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.

Please note that if your shares are held in street name and you wish to revoke a proxy or change your voting instructions, you must contact your broker.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

The holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting as of the Record Date must be present in person or by remote communication, or represented by proxy, at the Annual Meeting in order to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. This presence is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present in person or by remote communication at the Annual Meeting or if you have properly submitted a proxy.

What is the vote required for each proposal?

•Proposal One: Each director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the three individuals nominated for election to our board of directors at the Annual Meeting receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes will be elected.

•Proposal Two: Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes.

•Proposal Three: Approval of the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (the “NEOs”) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is an “abstention” or a “vote withheld” and how will abstentions and votes withheld be treated?

An “abstention,” in the case of Proposals Two or Three, or a “vote withheld,” in the case of Proposal One, represents a stockholder’s choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Abstentions and votes withheld will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and votes withheld will have no effect on the election of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

directors, the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm or the advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs.

What are broker non-votes and do they count for determining a quorum?

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in street name for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine matters, such as the election of directors, unless the broker has received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

If I submit a proxy, how will it be voted?

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions. If no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as described above. If any matters not described in the proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy instructions, as described under “Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?”

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice or more than one set of proxy materials?

It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Notice or set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.

How can I attend and participate in the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be conducted via live audio webcast. You will only be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online by visiting: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/JOBY2024. To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included in your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

If your shares are held in street name, and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you must request and obtain a valid proxy from your bank or broker that gives you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Who is soliciting my proxy and paying for the expense of solicitation?

The proxy for the Annual Meeting is being solicited on behalf of our board of directors. We will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We may, on request, reimburse brokerage firms and other nominees for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, we expect that our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone or facsimile. None of these individuals will receive any additional or special compensation for doing this, although we may reimburse these individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We do not expect to, but have the option to, retain a proxy solicitor. If you choose to access the proxy materials or vote via the Internet or by phone, you are responsible for any Internet access or phone charges you may incur.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s meeting?

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2025 Annual Meeting must submit the proposal to our Corporate Secretary at our offices at 333 Encinal Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 in writing no later than December 26, 2024. Stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and related SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

Stockholders intending to present a proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting, or to nominate a person for election as a director, but not to include the proposal in our proxy statement, must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require, among other things, that our Corporate Secretary receive written notice from the stockholder of record of their intent to present such proposal or nomination not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, we must receive notice of such a proposal or nomination for the 2025 Annual Meeting no earlier than February 14, 2025, and no later than March 16, 2025. The notice must contain all information required by the Bylaws, a copy of which is available upon request to our Secretary. If the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after June 14, 2025, then our Corporate Secretary must

TABLE OF CONTENTS

receive such written notice not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting or, if later, the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which we first publicly disclose the date of such meeting. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 15, 2025.

Our Bylaws require that any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which is reserved for the exclusive use by our board of directors. In connection with the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, we intend to file a proxy statement and a WHITE proxy card with the SEC in connection with our solicitation of proxies for that meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We have a strong commitment to good corporate governance practices. These practices provide an important framework within which our board of directors, its committees and our management can pursue our strategic objectives in order to promote the interests of our stockholders.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our board of directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth the composition and structure of our board of directors, responsibilities and expectations for directors, director independence standards, board committee structure and functions and other policies for the governance of our Company. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available without charge on the Investor Relations section of our website at ir.jobyaviation.com.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors has determined that it is in Joby’s best interest to maintain a separate Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors believes that separating these roles enhances its independent oversight of management and the Company’s strategic planning. The board also believes a separate Executive Chairman can more effectively lead the board in objectively evaluating the performance of management, including the Chief Executive Officer.

Our board of directors has also appointed Michael Huerta as lead independent director, effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Consistent with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, if the Executive Chairman is not an independent director, the board of directors annually selects a lead independent director to preside over executive sessions of the board’s independent directors, facilitate information flow between the other members of the board and the Executive Chairman, and perform other duties specified by the board. Our previous lead independent director was Reid Hoffman.

Our Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. Although our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, it administers this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through standing committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Our board of directors and its committees focus on our general risk management strategy, including the most significant risks facing us over the short, intermediate and long-term, and oversee the implementation of risk management strategies by management. In addition, members of our board of directors are empowered and encouraged to recommend agenda items for meetings and to bring matters for discussion before the entire board of directors or during separate executive sessions of the non-management directors, including matters related to risk oversight.

In carrying out this responsibility the board of directors regularly discusses key areas of strategic risk with management, whether as separate agenda items or as they relate to other topics being considered by the board. For example, the board of directors regularly receives presentations from management on topics including progress toward certification and regulatory risk, safety, environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”), cybersecurity, legal, financial and other risks.

Our audit committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management. Furthermore, the audit committee communicates quarterly with our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, about risks related to our internal controls and financial reporting process.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee assesses risks related to our corporate governance practices, the independence of our board of directors, board and committee composition and performance, and monitors the effectiveness of our governance guidelines.

Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. The compensation committee also ensures that our compensation philosophy aligns with our long-term strategy.

We believe this division of responsibilities is an effective approach for addressing the risks we face and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

•Class I directors (Michael Huerta, Tetsuo Ogawa and Dipender Saluja), whose terms will expire at the 2025 Annual Meeting;

•Class II directors (Halimah DeLaine Prado, Paul Sciarra and Laura Wright), whose terms will expire at the 2026 Annual Meeting; and

•Class III directors (JoeBen Bevirt, Aicha Evans and Reid Hoffman), whose terms will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Our directors may be removed only for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Under the Sponsor Agreement by and among the Company, Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and Reinvent Technology Partners (“RTP”), the parties thereto agreed to certain rights of the Sponsor with respect to board representation of the Company, including the appointment of Reid Hoffman as an initial Class III director and the nomination of Michael Thompson as a Class III director following the first term of the Class III directors.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of February 20, 2021, by and between Toyota Motor Corporation (“Toyota”) and Legacy Joby (the “Toyota MOU”), the parties thereto agreed to certain rights of Toyota in connection with the collaboration agreement between Legacy Joby and Toyota. Under the MOU, Toyota has the right to designate for election to our board of directors up to one designee that, if elected, will result in such designee serving on the board of directors. We agreed to take all necessary actions to ensure that Toyota’s designee is included in the slate of director nominees (including in any proxy statement or written consent relating to the election of directors) and to ensure that the election of Toyota’s designee is recommended by our board of directors in such materials. If a person serving as Toyota’s designee ceases to serve for any reason, Toyota may designate such person’s successor and our board of directors will promptly fill the vacancy with such successor designee. The member of our board of directors who is currently serving as Toyota’s designee is Tetsuo Ogawa.

Under the Umbrella Agreement, dated October 7, 2022 (the “Delta Agreement”), by and between the Company and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”), the parties agreed to work together in good faith to select a nominee for appointment to our board of directors. Upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office of such individual, we agreed to work in good faith to select a replacement nominee. The member of our board of directors who is currently serving as Delta’s designee is Michael Huerta.

Director Independence

As a result of our common stock being listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), we must comply with the applicable rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors undertook a review of the independence of the individuals named above, including the transactions contemplated under the Delta Agreement, and determined that each of Aicha Evans, Halimah DeLaine Prado, Reid Hoffman, Michael Huerta, Dipender Saluja and Laura Wright qualifies as “independent” as defined under the applicable NYSE rules. In addition, the board of directors has concluded that Michael Thompson, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will qualify as “independent” as defined under the applicable NYSE rules.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the board of directors and standing committees. We have a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which operates under a written charter. Our board of directors may from time to time establish other committees.

In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board of directors when the board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Each of our standing committees operates pursuant to a written charter. Current copies of our committee charters are posted on our website, ir.jobyaviation.com, as required by applicable SEC and NYSE rules. The information on or available through any of such website is not deemed incorporated in this prospectus and does not form part of this prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Aicha Evans, Halimah DeLaine Prado and Laura Wright, with Ms. Wright serving as the chair of the committee. Each member of our audit committee qualifies as an independent director under the NYSE corporate governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, each member of our audit committee is financially literate. Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Wright qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of the NYSE.

The audit committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

•appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;

•discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

•reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

•pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

•overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC;

•reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Aicha Evans, Michael Huerta, and Laura Wright, with Ms. Evans serving as the chair of the committee. Ms. Evans, Mr. Huerta, and Ms. Wright are non-employee directors, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and are “independent” as defined under the applicable NYSE listing standards, including the standards specific to members of a compensation committee. We believe that the composition and functioning of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards.

The compensation committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

•reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of these goals and objectives and setting or making recommendations to our board of directors regarding the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer;

•reviewing and setting or making recommendations to our board of directors regarding the compensation of our other executive officers;

•making recommendations to our board of directors regarding the compensation of our directors;

•reviewing and approving or making recommendations to our board of directors regarding our incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and

•appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants.

The compensation committee generally considers the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations when making decisions regarding the compensation of non-employee directors and executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer). Pursuant to the compensation committee’s charter, the compensation committee has the authority to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Before selecting any such consultant, counsel or advisor, the compensation committee reviews and considers the independence of such consultant, counsel or advisor in accordance with applicable NYSE rules. We must provide appropriate funding, as determined by the compensation committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to any advisor retained by the compensation committee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Consultants

During 2023, the compensation committee engaged Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”), as its independent outside compensation consultant. As requested by the compensation committee, Compensia’s services to the compensation committee included advising on the development of the Company’s peer group and providing support and analysis regarding executive and director compensation.

All executive compensation services provided by Compensia during 2023 were conducted under the direction or authority of the compensation committee, and all work performed by Compensia was pre-approved by the compensation committee. Neither Compensia nor any of its affiliates maintains any other direct or indirect business relationships with Joby or any of our subsidiaries. The compensation committee considered whether any work provided by Compensia raised any conflict of interest for services performed during 2023 and determined that it did not.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2023, Aicha Evans, Michael Huerta and Laura Wright served on the compensation committee. During 2023, no member of the compensation committee was an officer or employee of ours, a former officer of ours or of our subsidiaries or had a relationship requiring disclosure by us under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity, other than Joby, that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Reid Hoffman, Halimah DeLaine Prado and Dipender Saluja, with Ms. DeLaine Prado serving as the chair of the committee. Each member of our nominating and corporate governance committee is “independent” as defined under the applicable listing standards of NYSE and SEC rules and regulations.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

•identifying individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors, consistent with criteria approved by our board of directors;

•recommending to our board of directors the nominees for election to our board of directors at annual meetings of our stockholders;

•overseeing an evaluation of our board of directors and its committees;

•overseeing the Company’s policies related to environmental, social and governance matters; and

•developing and recommending to our board of directors a set of corporate governance guidelines.

We believe that the composition and functioning of our nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards.

Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance

Our board of directors and its committees meet regularly throughout the year, and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time. The board of directors met five times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The audit committee met nine times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The compensation committee met seven times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The nominating and corporate governance committee met four times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

During 2023, each member of our board of directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of our board of directors and all meetings of committees of our board of directors on which such members served that were held during the period in which such director served except for Mr. Ogawa. Mr. Ogawa was appointed to the board of directors in June of 2023 and attended two of the three board meetings that occurred after his appointment.

NOMINATION PROCESS AND DIRECTOR QUALIFICATIONS

Nomination to the Board of Directors

Candidates for nomination to our board of directors are selected by our board of directors based on the recommendation of our nominating and corporate governance committee in accordance with its charter, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the criteria approved by our board of directors regarding director candidate qualifications. In recommending candidates for nomination, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers candidates recommended by directors, officers, employees, stockholders and others, using the same criteria to evaluate all candidates.

Additional information regarding the process for properly submitting stockholder nominations for candidates for nomination to our board of directors is set forth above under “When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s meeting.”

Director Qualifications

With the goal of developing a diverse, experienced and highly qualified board of directors, our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for developing and recommending to our board of directors the desired qualifications, expertise and characteristics of members of our board of directors, including any specific qualities or skills that the committee believes are necessary for one or more of the members of our board of directors to possess.

Because the identification, evaluation and selection of qualified directors is a complex and subjective process that requires consideration of many intangible factors, and will be significantly influenced by the particular needs of our board of directors at any particular time, our board of directors has not adopted a specific set of minimum qualifications, qualities or skills that are necessary for a nominee to possess, other than those that are necessary to meet U.S. legal, regulatory and NYSE listing requirements and the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charters of the committees of our board of directors. When considering nominees, our nominating and corporate governance committee may take into consideration many factors including, among other things, a candidate’s independence, integrity, any potential conflicts of interest, diversity, skills, achievements, business understanding, financial and other expertise, breadth of experience, knowledge about our business or industry and ability to devote adequate time and effort to responsibilities of our board of directors in the context of its existing composition.

Our board of directors does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity and inclusion; however, it affirms the value placed on diversity within our company. Through the nomination process, our nominating and corporate governance committee seeks to promote board membership that reflects a diversity of business experience, expertise, viewpoints, personal backgrounds and other characteristics that are expected to contribute to our board of directors’ overall effectiveness. Further, our board of directors is committed to actively seeking highly qualified women and individuals from minority groups to include in the pool from which new candidates are selected. Three of our nine directors are women, and five of the nine self-identify as racially or ethnically diverse.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) provides information on the goals and objectives of our executive compensation program, including our compensation philosophy as it relates to our named executive officers (“NEOs”). For 2023, our NEOs were:

•JoeBen Bevirt – Chief Executive Officer and Chief Architect

•Matthew Field – Chief Financial Officer

•Didier Papadopoulos – President of Aircraft OEM

•Kate DeHoff – General Counsel and Corporate Secretary

•Bonny Simi – President of Operations

Prior to their promotions in February 2024, Ms. Simi and Mr. Papadopoulos served as our Head of Air Operations and People and Head of Aircraft OEM, respectively.

Compensation Summary

Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain the executive leadership necessary to meet our ambitious goal of certifying our aircraft and launching our commercial air taxi service. Until we are able to certify our aircraft and launch our commercial passenger service, we are highly focused on preserving cash. Because of this, we do not pay cash bonuses and have weighted our executive compensation more heavily in favor of equity awards, including short-term and long-term incentive awards with performance conditions tied to our certification goals. We believe this approach most closely aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.

We have structured our executive compensation program to align with industry best practices, including the following:


Committee Composition						All of our Compensation Committee members are independent directors.
Compensation Consultant						Our Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant to provide data and analysis to ensure that our executive compensation is competitive and in line with market best practices.
Clawback Policy						We have adopted a clawback policy that applies to current and former officers and requires the disgorgement of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation.
Stock Ownership Guidelines						We require our executive officers and members of our board of directors to comply with meaningful stock ownership requirements, subject to a customary phase-in period.
Limited Perquisites						We limit perquisites to our executive officers.
Say-On-Pay Vote						We hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.
No Severance Payments and Benefits						None of our executive officers have provisions in their employment agreements guaranteeing severance payments and benefits in the event of their termination of employment.
No “Single-Trigger” Vesting Acceleration						None of our executive officers have provisions for “single-trigger” acceleration of equity vesting in connection with a change-of-control of the Company.
Risk Assessment						Our Compensation Committee performs an annual review of the risks related to our compensation programs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


No Hedging/Pledging						All employees, including our executive officers, are prohibited from hedging or pledging Joby stock or engaging in derivative transactions.
Stockholder Engagement						We value stockholder feedback on our compensation programs and other relevant matters. During 2023, we made members of our management team and Compensation Committee available to speak with stockholders who expressed an interest in providing feedback on our compensation programs.

Note About Prior Periods

On August 10, 2021, Joby Aero, Inc. (“Legacy Joby”) was merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub”) of Reinvent Technology Partners (“RTP”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on February 23, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) between RTP, Legacy Joby, and Merger Sub. Legacy Joby survived as a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP, which was renamed Joby Aviation. Inc. References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “Joby” and the like refer to Legacy Joby for actions taken prior to August 10, 2021, and Joby Aviation, Inc. for actions taken on and after August 10, 2021. Any references to Joby common stock or equity awards that were made prior to August 10, 2021, have been retrospectively adjusted using the exchange ratio that was established in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee reviewed the result of both the vote regarding the frequency with which we will hold non-binding advisory stockholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers (“Say-On-Pay Votes”) and the 2023 Say-On-Pay Vote. At our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders voted in a non-binding advisory vote in favor of having Say-On-Pay Votes on the compensation of our named executive officers once every year. Accordingly, at this annual meeting, we are again seeking a Say-On-Pay Vote. In addition, in light of the approval by a substantial majority of our stockholders of the compensation programs described in our 2023 proxy statement (representing approximately 95% of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote), we did not implement any significant changes to our executive compensation program as a result of the stockholders’ advisory vote.

Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program

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 awards described below incentivize performance and align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders.

Compensation Decision Making Process

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for determining the compensation of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee charter gives the Compensation Committee authority to set compensation for our CEO or, if directed by the Board, in conjunction with a majority of the independent directors. In 2023, the independent directors approved all CEO compensation after recommendation by the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee approved the compensation for our other executive officers, including our NEOs.

The Compensation Committee meets regularly throughout the year to review and discuss the Company’s compensation philosophy, progress against its goals, executive performance, competitive market data, and any updates to laws, rules, or best practices. The Compensation Committee discusses these matters with management and with its compensation consultant and is empowered to retain additional external legal and other advisors as necessary.

The Compensation Committee meets regularly with key members of our People team who provide updates on headcount, budget, employee engagement, and internal pay equity. The Compensation Committee also discusses NEO performance with our Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer (other than with respect to himself). NEOs (including our Chief Executive Officer) are not present for discussions of, or decisions related to, their compensation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee retained Compensia, Inc., a national compensation consulting firm (“Compensia”), as its compensation consultant for 2023. Compensia’s services in 2023 included:

•providing relevant financial and other data to assist the Compensation Committee with the selection of the peer group as described below;

•collecting and analyzing data from peer group companies, as well as the additional compensation surveys described below, to provide an understanding of the competitiveness of the base salary levels, short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities of our executives, including our NEOs;

•assisting with the review of the executive compensation disclosure required in our proxy statement and

•updating the Compensation Committee on compensation trends and regulatory updates, including best practices.

Compensation Peer Group

In December 2022, with Compensia’s assistance, the Compensation Committee reviewed and updated its compensation peer group to be used as a reference for compensation decisions for 2023, which was generally developed from publicly-traded companies in the aviation, automotive, clean energy, electrical component & equipment, electric vehicle, semiconductor and technology hardware & equipment industries with a market capitalization of approximately $844 million to $13.5 billion (within a target range of 0.25 – 4.0 times our 30-day average market capitalization of approximately $3.34 billion as of October 2022).

Based on the foregoing review, the Compensation Committee approved a peer group that consisted of AeroVironment, Archer Aviation, Blink Charging Co., Bloom Energy, ChargePoint Holdings, Enovix, Eve Holding, First Solar, Fisker, Lucid Group, Luminar Technologies, Lyft, Nikola, Plug Power, Proterra, QuantumScape, Rocket Lab USA, Sunrun, TuSimple Holdings and Virgin Galactic Holdings (collectively, the “Peer Group”). At the time the Peer Group data was compiled, we were at the 56th percentile by market capitalization compared to the other members of the Peer Group.

The Compensation Committee removed Cerence, EnerSys, Enphase Energy, FuelCell Energy, Teledyne Technologies, Textron, and Wheels Up Experience, which had previously been part of the compensation peer group used for analyzing the Company’s 2022 compensation, as these companies no longer fit within the Company’s selection criteria. Velodyne Lidar was removed as a result of its acquisition by Ouster. These companies were replaced by Blink Charging Co., Enovix, Eve Holding, Fisker, Lucid Group, and Rocket Lab USA, which the Compensation Committee determined better met the parameters described above.

In addition, the Compensation Committee reviewed a Radford custom survey of 50 similarly sized public companies, including 13 out of 20 public peers, reflecting similarly-sized companies (the “Custom Survey”) as well as data from the Radford San Francisco Bay Area technology survey (the “Technology Survey”).

In evaluating compensation decisions during 2023, the Compensation Committee referenced each of the Peer Group, Custom Survey and Technology Survey, focusing on the source most applicable to the position being evaluated.

Elements of Compensation

For 2023, our compensation program included four primary elements:


Element						Purpose
Base Salary						Base salary is designed to provide our NEOs with a predictable level of compensation for the day-to-day performance of their roles. Base salaries are set at a level designed to remain competitive in a given market to ensure predictable income so that our NEOs are sufficiently compensated on a day-to-day basis and are not overly dependent on the achievement of performance bonus award targets or equity appreciation in a way that might encourage excessive risk taking to achieve our goals.
Equity Awards That Are Granted upon Achievement of Performance Goals (“PSUs”)						We maintained a performance bonus program under which dollar-denominated targets and maximums were established and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted after the achievement of key goals related to our development and certification timelines. These goals, which were the same for all employees, including our NEOs, were designed to reward and focus the efforts of all employees in these areas.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Element						Purpose
Equity Awards with Service-Based Vesting (“Service-Based RSUs”)						RSU awards granted with service-based vesting are intended to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders and to encourage retention. We grant RSUs in connection with an NEO’s commencement of employment and may award additional grants on an annual basis for retention purposes.
Long-Term Performance Awards						Recognizing the importance of certification to the success of our business, in 2023 we also granted performance-based awards to our NEOs that will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date provided that certain performance conditions related to certification are met on or before that date (the “LTI Goal”).

Base Salary

Base salaries are designed to provide our NEOs with a predictable level of compensation for the day-to-day performance of their roles. The Compensation Committee approved (or in the case of Mr. Bevirt, the Board approved) increases to our NEOs base salaries for 2023, effective as of January 1, 2023, as follows:


Name	2022 Base Salary		2023 Base Salary
JoeBen Bevirt	$	600,000	$	620,000
Matt Field	$	500,000	$	520,000
Didier Papadopoulos	$	500,000	$	520,000
Kate DeHoff	$	400,000	$	420,000
Bonny Simi	$	400,000	$	420,000

The Compensation Committee determined that modest increases were appropriate given that our NEOs had received larger increases in the prior year to bring their base salary in line with the competitive market. The Compensation Committee also considered internal pay equity and executive performance in determining that the increases were appropriate.

Equity Awards

We grant RSU awards to our NEOs under our 2021 Incentive Award Plan (“2021 Plan”). These awards are designed to attract and retain our NEOs and 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. Any unvested RSU awards are forfeited if an employee or NEO ceases to provide services to the Company.

In 2023, the Compensation Committee granted three types of equity awards to our NEOs:

1.Service-Based RSUs, provided as an annual refresh grant to ensure continued equity vesting over time and retain critical individuals (the “Service-Based Awards”);

2.RSU awards that vest after three years of continued service, provided that the LTI Goal has been met (the “LTI Awards”); and

3.PSUs granted under the Company’s 2023 performance equity award program (the “2023 PSU Program”), which are only granted following the achievement of pre-established goals that apply to all employees.

For 2023, the Compensation Committee made grants to our NEOs (except for Mr. Bevirt) that consisted of an equal number of units for each Service-Based Award and LTI Award. Mr. Bevirt was only granted an LTI Award to further tie his compensation to performance. The Compensation Committee determined that these grants, combined with the NEO’s base salary and equity awards under the 2023 PSU Program (assuming target achievement levels) would place the NEOs’ target total direct compensation below the competitive market median values based on an executive compensation analysis prepared by the Compensation Committee’s compensation consultant. However, the Compensation Committee believed that the total direct compensation targets provided sufficient retention value and incentive for our NEOs to execute on the Company’s strategic goals, while reflecting the Company’s overall disciplined approach to equity budgeting and compensation philosophy.

In June 2023, the Compensation Committee granted the following Service-Based Awards to our NEOs (other than Mr. Bevirt). The Service-Based Awards vest over four years, in 16 equal installments on the quarterly anniversaries of July 1, 2023, subject to the NEO’s continued employment with us through each such applicable vesting date.

In June 2023, the Compensation Committee granted the following LTI Awards to our NEOs other than Mr. Bevirt, whose LTI Award for Mr. Bevirt was approved by the full Board. The LTI Awards vest on June 21, 2026, provided that the LTI Goal has been achieved on or before that date. The LTI Goal involves confidential information, the disclosure of which would cause competitive harm to us. The LTI Goal was set in a manner our Compensation Committee and, in the case of Mr. Bevirt, our board of directors determined would be difficult to achieve and will not be achieved with average or below average effort.

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2023 PSU Program. All of our employees, including our NEOs, were eligible to participate in the 2023 PSU Program. Under the 2023 PSU Program, a target and maximum bonus amount was established in dollars for each of our NEOs. Subject to our achievement of certain operational, manufacturing, and business goals in 2023, RSUs were awarded as described below. Much like our 2022 program, the goals for the 2023 PSU Program covered three broad areas aligned with our overall Company focus on development and certification, manufacturing, and commercialization. The goals, which were selected by management and approved by our Compensation Committee, were designed to be challenging and to reward outstanding performance against our operational goals and objectives. We believe that the targets and goals reflected in the 2023 PSU Program align the interests of our employees, including our NEOs, with our Company’s progress and our stockholders’ interests. Each of the targets for the selected goals involves confidential information, the disclosure of which would cause competitive harm to the Company (with the exception of the goals noted in the table below). The Compensation Committee believed that these goals represented an appropriate mix of goals that were believed to be achievable with consistent and focused effort along with stretch goals that would represent outstanding achievement.

On each date that the plan administrator determined that one of the 2023 PSU Program goals had been achieved, the participant became entitled to a number of RSUs equal to the percentage attributed to the achieved goal multiplied by the participant’s target award amount, divided by the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the date on which the goal was achieved (“VWAP”). RSU awards were not actually granted until subsequently approved by the Compensation Committee. Any RSU awards that were granted under the 2023 PSU Program in 2023 vested in four equal installments on January 16, 2024, February 12, 2024, March 11, 2024, and April 16, 2024, subject to the NEO’s continued employment with us through each such applicable vesting date.

Our Compensation Committee established the target and maximum amounts for each NEO based on the individual’s role, a review of competitive market data, and the specific impact they were expected to have on achieving the Company-wide goals. Under the 2023 PSU Program, the Compensation Committee set the following target and maximum values for our NEOs:

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Name	Target Amount	Maximum Amount
JoeBen Bevirt	$558,000	$930,000
Matthew Field	$468,000	$780,000
Didier Papadopoulos	$624,000	$1,040,000
Kate DeHoff	$252,000	$420,000
Bonny Simi	$378,000	$630,000

In December 2023, our Compensation Committee exercised discretion related to the performance achievement level for two of the pre-established goals. Specifically, the Compensation Committee determined that the work completed by the Company in support of its demonstration flight in New York City on November 13, 2023 would count as one of the two agreements required to achieve the goal related to electrification of at least two sites in major markets because of the commitments made by Mayor Adams as part of the city’s request for proposal (“RFP”) for electrification of the downtown NY heliport had substantially achieved the aims of that goal as to one site. The Compensation Committee also granted 50% achievement of the goal related to the design and permitting of a vertiport since the design had been completed but the Company decided to defer submitting the permit request to a later date. Our Compensation Committee adjusted the goals in a manner intended to continue to both be challenging to achieve and to reward outstanding performance against our operational goals and objectives.

The 2023 PSU Program resulted in approximately 62.50% of the target award opportunities being granted during the year, as follows:

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 through 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.

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in our standard health and welfare plans on the same basis as other full-time employees. These health and welfare plans include medical, dental, and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and supplemental life and accidental death and disability insurance.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Executive perquisites are not part of our general compensation philosophy. However, when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain an individual, we may choose to provide perquisites to an NEO, as determined on a case-by-case basis. Other than the geographic differential compensation described below and one occasion where we permitted a spouse to accompany an NEO on a chartered flight where there was no additional incremental cost to the company, we did not provide our NEOs with any perquisites or other personal benefits in 2023.

Relocation Packages

In certain circumstances, where we find compelling candidates for key roles, we may provide relocation assistance to incentivize them to move closer to our Santa Cruz, California headquarters or other office locations. In determining whether such assistance is warranted, the Compensation Committee considers the criticality of the role, the availability of candidates in the local talent pool, and the expected contributions from the relocating executive.

In June 2022, the Compensation Committee approved relocation assistance packages for Mr. Field, Mr. Papadopoulos, and Ms. Simi. In determining that such relocation assistance was warranted, the Compensation Committee took into consideration each executive’s performance to date, the criticality of the executive’s role and responsibilities in achieving the Company’s near- and long-term objectives as well as the significant cost of living differences between the location from which each NEOs was relocating and the Santa Cruz area. For Mr. Papadopoulos and Ms. Simi, the Compensation Committee also considered that each was originally hired with the understanding that they would periodically commute from their primary residence to the Company’s offices. However, more recent increases in the demands of their roles made it desirable that they relocate to be available onsite full-time.

The relocation packages consisted of a one-time bonus to be paid to the executive upon acceptance by a seller of the executive’s offer to purchase a residence within 50 miles of one of our California locations (the “Down Payment Assistance”) and additional cash compensation (the “Geographic Differential Compensation”). The Down Payment Assistance will be subject to a pro-rata repayment obligation by the NEO if they voluntarily resign or are terminated for “cause” (as defined in the 2021 Plan) within three years after payment of the Down Payment Assistance. The Geographic Differential Compensation is not considered part of the NEO’s base salary for the purpose of calculating any bonus, equity award or other compensation and will be terminated if the NEO does not maintain a residence in the specified area. The Geographic Differential Compensation is an annual payment that will be reevaluated by the Compensation Committee beginning in 2025 to determine whether it continues to be appropriate in light of the Company’s compensation philosophy. Each of Mr. Field, Mr. Papadopoulos, and Ms. Simi received the Geographic Differential Compensation noted during 2023 and none of them received any Down Payment Assistance during that time.


Name	Geographic Differential	Down Payment Assistance
Matt Field	100,000	$200,000
Didier Papadopoulos	250,000	$400,000
Bonny Simi	100,000	$200,000

Other Executive Compensation Arrangements

Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have implemented meaningful stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers. Executives are required to hold a number of shares with a total value equal to a designated multiple of their base salary, as provided in the table below. Ownership is determined based on the combined value of the following executive holdings: (a) shares of our common stock owned outright (individually or jointly) or in a trust controlled by or for the benefit of the executive, the executive’s spouse or an immediate family member; (b) restricted shares of our common stock; or (c) shares of our common stock held in held in a 401(k) plan. Executives have until five years from the later of December 15, 2023, or the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

time of hire to comply with the ownership guidelines (the “Phase in Period”). Under the guidelines, if an executive has not reached the minimum ownership guideline by the end of the Phase in Period, such executive must retain 50% of the shares of our common stock acquired upon the exercise, vesting or delivery of any equity awards granted by us after the satisfaction of the exercise price, transaction costs and withholding taxes incurred in connection with such exercise, vesting or delivery. The stock ownership guidelines are set forth below.

Stock Ownership Guidelines


Position						Multiple of Base Salary

Chief Executive Officer						5x
Other Executive Officers						2x

Clawback Policy

Effective October 2, 2023, our Board adopted a Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”) to implement the final clawback rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange. The Clawback Policy applies to our current and former executive officers and subjects their incentive-based compensation received on or after October 2, 2023 to clawback in the event our company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct its material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. securities laws. In these circumstances, the Clawback Policy requires the Company to recover, reasonably promptly, the portion of incentive-based compensation that is deemed to have been erroneously awarded, unless the Compensation Committee (which administers the policy) determines that recovery would be impracticable and that one or more of the allowable impracticability conditions under SEC rules has been met. Recovery is required whether or not the applicable officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement for the restatement. In addition to these requirements, the Clawback Policy continues to provide the Committee with broad discretion as to what actions may be taken based on circumstances leading to the restatement, including recovery of compensation under our PSU Program, RSUs, and other equity incentive awards.

Each of our executive officers has agreed to the terms of the Clawback Policy and acknowledged that their compensation may be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture and/or recoupment as required thereby.

Section 280G/Section 4999 Policy

We do not provide any tax gross-ups to cover excise taxes under Section 4999 in connection with a change in control or otherwise.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to all former and current named executive officers. Our board of directors and the Compensation Committee may, in its judgment, authorize compensation payments that exceed the deductibility limits under Section 162(m) when it believes that such payments are appropriate to attract, retain, and reward executive talent.

Section 409A of the Code imposes additional taxes on certain non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that do not comply with its requirements. We have and will continue to endeavor to structure our compensation arrangements to be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code so as to avoid the adverse tax consequences associated therewith. We have not provided any executives or other employees with any gross-up in connection with Section 409A of the Code.

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires us to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments (including stock options and other forms of equity compensation). The Compensation Committee takes into account the expense taken under FASB ASC Topic 718 when determining equity grants.

Derivatives Trading, Hedging and Pledging Policies

Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy applies to employees, officers, directors, board observers and consultants, as well as any family member or member of the same household of any such person. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy specifically prohibits these individuals from prohibiting in transactions involving (i) short sales of the Company’s

TABLE OF CONTENTS

securities, (ii) the purchase or writing of put or call options or other derivative securities, hedging or other monetization transactions, (iii) margin purchases and pledges of Company securities, including as collateral to secure loans.

Employment and Offer Letters

JoeBen Bevirt

We have not entered into an employment agreement or employment offer letter with Mr. Bevirt.

Matthew Field

In February 2021, 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 included 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 was paid in April 2022 (the “Second Installment”). The employment offer letter also entitled Mr. Field to a $100,000 relocation bonus, paid in December 2022 upon his relocation to a residence within 50 miles of his primary office (the “Relocation Bonus”), and reimbursement of up to $10,000 in travel expenses during his first year of employment for travel to and from his primary residence.

In January 2021, Ms. DeHoff was awarded a new hire grant of 385,522 RSUs vesting over six years in lieu of the time-based option award provided for in her offer letter.

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, except that under our 2021 Incentive Award Plan if equity awards are not assumed or substituted in connection with a change in control, the vesting of such equity awards will fully accelerate, and if an NEO experiences a qualifying termination of employment within the period commencing three months prior to a change in control and ending 12 months after the change in control, the vesting of any equity awards that are assumed or substituted for will fully accelerate.

(1)			Amounts reported represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSU awards granted to our NEOs during 2023 under our 2021 Plan and the 2023 PSU Program, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. See the discussion of Critical Accounting Policies in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the assumptions used in calculating these values. The value for each award granted under the 2023 PSU Program that is reported in the table assumed a 63.33% probability of achievement at target. The grant date fair value of each award, assuming the maximum level of performance, is $930,000, $780,000, $1,040,000, $420,000 and $630,000 for Mr. Bevirt, Mr. Field, Mr. Papadopoulos, Ms. DeHoff and Ms. Simi, respectively.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are disclosing the following information about the relationship of the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees (other than our CEO), and the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bevirt (our “CEO”), for 2023.

CEO Pay Ratio for 2023

•The median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, excluding our CEO, was $171,598;

•The annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the 2023 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement, was $4,095,534; and

•The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees was 24 to 1.

We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Methodology

The methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates used to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees for 2023 were based on the following:

•Our median employee was identified from all full-time, part-time, seasonal, and temporary employees as of December 31, 2023, the last day of our fiscal year (other than our CEO). As of December 31, 2023, we and our consolidated subsidiaries employed approximately 1,748 individuals. Our employee population consisted of individuals (other than our CEO) working at our parent company and consolidated subsidiaries both within and outside the United States. We did not include any contractors or other non-employee workers in our employee population.

•To identify our median employee from our employee population, we calculated the aggregate amount of each employee’s (i) base salary or gross wages paid and (ii) the value of target annual bonus, which compensation measure was consistently applied. For simplicity and consistency across our organization, we used annual base salary or gross wages rate or the actual amount paid. Amounts under item (ii) above were annualized for any permanent employees who commenced work during 2023. We selected the foregoing compensation elements because they represented our principal broad-based compensation elements.

•We did not rely on the data privacy or de minimis exceptions allowed by SEC rules to exclude any non-U.S. employees from our employee population, nor did we make any cost-of-living adjustment.

•Compensation not paid in U.S. dollars was converted to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rates in effect as of December 31, 2023.

•All employees except for our CEO were ranked from lowest to highest with the median employee determined from this list.

Using this approach, we identified the individual at the median of our employee population who was the best representative of our employee population. The individual was a full-time employee based in the United States.

Calculation

Having identified our median employee using the aforementioned methodology, we then calculated the annual total of this employee for 2023 annual total compensation using the same methodology that we use for determining the annual total compensation of our named executive officers as reported in our 2023 Summary Compensation Table above.

We determined our CEO’s annual total compensation for fiscal 2023 as reported in our 2023 Summary Compensation Table above.

The SEC rules allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, apply certain exclusions, and make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee population and compensation practices, therefore the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to our pay ratio. As explained by the SEC when it adopted these rules, the rule was not designed to facilitate comparisons of pay ratios among different companies, even companies within the same industry, but rather to allow stockholders to better understand and assess each particular company’s compensation practices and pay ratio disclosures.

(2)For the relevant fiscal year, represents the cumulative TSR (the “Peer Group TSR”) of a peer group consisting of Archer Aviation Inc., Eve Holding, Inc., Joby Aviation, Inc., Lilium N.V., Vertical Aerospace Ltd. (“Peer Group”), as used in the Stock Performance Graph disclosed under Item 5 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The amount reflected shows the annual change in value of $100 invested in the Peer Group on August 10, 2021, the date of our Merger with RTP, and assumes reinvestment of dividends, if any. Each of the companies in our Peer Group went public via merger with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). For Peer Group companies that completed their SPAC merger after August 10, 2021, the cumulative return for the Peer Group was weighted based on the market capitalization of each company based on the date of its SPAC merger.

(3)Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (i) for solely service-vesting RSU awards, the closing price per share on the applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price per share on the applicable vesting date(s); (ii) for performance-based RSU awards, the same valuation methodology as RSU awards above except that the year-end values are multiplied by the probability of achievement of the applicable performance objective as of the applicable date; and (iii) for stock options, a Black Scholes value as of the applicable year-end or vesting date(s), determined based on the same methodology as used to determine grant date fair value but using the closing stock price on the applicable revaluation date as the current market price and with an expected life set equal to the remaining life of the award in the case of underwater stock options and, in the case of in the money options, an expected life equal to the original ratio of expected life relative to the ten year contractual life multiplied times the remaining life as of the applicable revaluation date, and in all cases based on volatility and risk free rates determined as of the revaluation date based on the expected life period and based on an expected dividend rate of 0%. For additional information on the assumptions used to calculate the valuation of the awards, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023

Pay v. Performance Descriptive Disclosure

Since we were not a publicly traded company until August 2021, and are not yet generating operating revenues, we have not historically tied executive compensation to financial performance measures. Consequently, we have not included a Company-Selected Measure in our Pay Versus Performance Table. The primary way in which we tied executive pay to performance in 2023 was through our 2023 PSU Program, which awarded RSUs to our NEOs and employees for achieving key operational goals that move us closer to our ultimate goal of launching our commercial air service, which we believe will be the primary driver of operational revenues in the future.

Our CEO and average NEO Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) for 2023 was higher than the amount reflected in our Summary Compensation Table, reflecting an increase in our TSR, which was greater than our Peer Group TSR over the same period. Net income reflected a larger loss in 2023 than in 2022, reflecting ongoing investments in our certification and manufacturing efforts and increased headcount.

Tabular List of Performance Measures

As described above, the primary way in which we tied executive pay to performance in 2023 was through our 2023 PSU Program, which was based on operational goals. No financial performance measures were used by the Company is setting pay-for-performance compensation in 2023.

Compensation Policies and Practices Related to Risk Management

When establishing and reviewing the Company’s executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee worked with management and Compensia to determine whether the compensation encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking and concluded that it does not. See the section entitled “Board of Directors and Corporate Governance – Our Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight” for additional discussion of risk considerations.
