Note 1—Description of Organization, Business Operations and Basis of Presentation
Joby Aviation, Inc., formerly known as Reinvent Technology Partners (the “Company”), was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 3, 2020. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”). On February 23, 2021, RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was formed
.
Joby Business Combination
On August 10, 2021, subsequent to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, the fiscal quarter to which the accompanying financial statements relate, the Company consummated its initial business combination (“Joby Business Combination”) with Joby Aero, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Joby”), and RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 23, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Joby and Merger Sub.
Upon the consummation of the Joby Business Combination: (i) Merger Sub merged with and into Joby (the “Merger”) and the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub ceased, with Joby surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) as a result of the Merger, among other things, all outstanding shares of capital stock of Joby (excluding the capital stock of Joby issued pursuant to the Note Conversion (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, together with shares of Joby common stock reserved in respect of Joby options and restricted stock units outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, were canceled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of, in the aggregate, a number of shares of RTP Common Stock (as defined below) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $5,000,000,000 by (y) $10.00; (iii) as a result of the Merger, among other things, an additional 7,716,780 shares of RTP Common Stock were issued to the holder of the Uber Note (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to the outstanding principal amount pursuant to the Note Conversion and the Merger; and (iv) upon the effective time of the Domestication (as defined below), the Company was renamed “Joby Aviation, Inc.”
Prior to the consummation of the Joby Business Combination, following the approval of the Company’s shareholders, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised) (the “CICA”) and the Company’ amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company effected a deregistration under the CICA and a domestication under Section 388 of the DGCL (by means of filing a certificate of domestication with the Secretary of State of Delaware), pursuant to which the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation was changed from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”).
In connection with the Domestication, (i) each of the then issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, par value $
0.0001
per share, of the Company, was converted automatically, on a
one-for-one
basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Company (after its Domestication) (the “RTP Common Stock”), (ii) each of the then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, was converted automatically, on a
one-for-one
basis, into a share of RTP Common Stock, (iii) each then issued and outstanding warrant of the Company was converted automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of RTP Common Stock (“Domesticated RTP Warrant”), and (iv) each then issued and outstanding unit of the Company was converted automatically into a share of RTP Common Stock, on a
one-for-one
basis, and
one-fourth
of one Domesticated RTP Wa
rrant
.
 
 
On February 23, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for 83.5 million shares of RTP Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price equal to $835 million (the “PIPE Investment”), $115 million of which was to be funded in the aggregate by Reinvent Technology SPV I LLC and Reinvent Capital Fund LP. The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Joby Business Combination.
Business Prior to the Joby Business Combination
All activity for the period from July 3, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, the search for a target company for a Business Combination, and the negotiation and execution of the Joby Business Combination. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. Following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company generated
non-operating
income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the net proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement (defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 16, 2020. On September 21, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 69,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), including 9,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $690.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $38.8 million, inclusive of approximately $24.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5).
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 11,533,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant to Reinvent Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $17.3 million (Note 4).
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $690.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee and invested in United States government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.
The Company was required to provide its holders of Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company was to seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer was made by the Company. The Public Shareholders were entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account. The
per-share
amount distributed to Public Shareholders who redeemed their Public Shares was not reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company paid to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares
have been recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon and following the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021 or for any future period.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may 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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its 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.
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 (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective 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 an emerging growth 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has 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, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Going Concern
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $479,000 in its operating bank account, and negative working capital of approximately $284,000.
The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately
$194,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the promissory note (see Note 4), and the proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the promissory note as of September 21, 2020 (see Note 4). In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 4). As of June 30, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
205-40,
“Basis of Presentation – Going Concern,” management has determined that the working capital deficit raises substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate, September 25, 2022. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern
.
Risk and Uncertainties
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (the
“COVID-19
outbreak”). In March 2020, the WHO classified the
COVID-19
outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the
COVID-19
outbreak continues to evolve. The impact of the
COVID-19
outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the
COVID-19
outbreak on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
