INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Joby” and the “Company” refer to Joby Aviation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Reinvent Technology Partners, a Delaware corporation), and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Closing (as defined below). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “RTP” refer to Reinvent Technology Partners, a Delaware corporation, prior to the Closing. All references herein to the “Board” refer to the board of directors of the Company.

Terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) but not defined herein, or for which definitions are not otherwise incorporated by reference herein, shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below) in the section entitled “Selected Definitions” beginning on page iv thereof, and such definitions are incorporated herein by reference.

Due to the large number of events reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Report is being filed in two parts. An amendment to this Form 8-K is being submitted for filing on the same date to include additional matters under Items 4.01, 5.03, 5.05 and 8.01 of Form 8-K.

Domestication and Merger Transaction

As previously announced, RTP, a Cayman Islands exempted company, previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 23, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among RTP, RTP Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of RTP (“Merger Sub”), and Joby Aero, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Joby”).

On August 10, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “Domestication Proposal” beginning on page 129 of the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated July 16, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), RTP filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which RTP was domesticated and continues as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Joby Aviation, Inc.” (the “Domestication”).

As a result of and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (1) each of the then issued and outstanding 5,000,000 RTP Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of RTP (the “RTP Class B ordinary shares”) converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a RTP Class A ordinary share (as defined below), (2) immediately following the conversion described in clause (1), each of the then issued and outstanding 25,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of RTP (the “RTP Class A ordinary shares”), converted automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Joby (the “Joby common stock”), (3) each of the then issued and outstanding 17,250,000 redeemable warrants of RTP (the “RTP warrants”) converted automatically into a redeemable warrant to purchase one share of Joby common stock (the “Joby warrants”) pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated September 16, 2020 (the “Warrant Agreement”), between RTP and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent, and (4) each of the then issued and outstanding units of RTP that had not been previously separated into the underlying RTP Class A ordinary shares and underlying RTP warrants upon the request of the holder thereof (the “RTP units”), were cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Joby common stock and one-half of one Joby warrant, and (5) each of the then issued and outstanding 11,533,333 private placement warrants of RTP converted automatically into an Joby warrant pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. No fractional Joby warrants were issued upon separation of the RTP units.

As previously reported on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 5, 2021, RTP held an extraordinary general meeting, at which RTP’s shareholders voted to approve the proposals outlined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including, among other things, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Domestication. On August 10, 2021, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and described in the section titled “BCA Proposal” beginning on page 86 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Joby consummated the merger transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby Merger Sub merged with and into Old Joby, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceasing and Old Joby being the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Joby (the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”).

 

2


In connection with the Business Combination, each share of Old Joby common stock, par value $0.00001 (“Old Joby common stock”) was canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Joby common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by (y) the number of aggregate fully diluted number of shares of Old Joby common stock (“Exchange Ratio”), and (ii) each share of Old Joby Series Seed-1 Preferred Stock, Old Joby Series Seed-2 Preferred Stock, Old Joby Series A Preferred Stock, Old Joby Series B Preferred Stock and Old Joby Series C Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Old Joby Preferred Stock”) were canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Joby common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the Old Joby Preferred Stock and together with the Old Joby common stock, the “Old Joby Capital Stock”).

Also in connection with the Business Combination, all (i) options to purchase shares of Old Joby common stock (“Joby Options”) and (ii) awards of restricted stock units based on shares of Old Joby common stock (“Joby RSU Awards”, and together with Joby Options, the “Joby Awards”) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger were converted into (a) options to purchase shares of Joby common stock (“Joby Aviation Options”) and (b) awards of restricted stock units based on shares of Joby common stock (“Joby Aviation RSU Awards”), respectively.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Joby Aviation Option provides the right to purchase a number of whole shares of Joby common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Old Joby common stock subject to the applicable Joby Option multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. The exercise price for each Joby Aviation Option equals (i) the exercise price of the applicable Joby Option divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Joby Aviation RSU Award is comprised of that number of whole shares of Joby Aviation common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (i) the number of shares of Old Joby common stock subject to the applicable Joby RSU Award, respectively, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

PIPE Investment

As previously announced, on February 23, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, RTP entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, in the aggregate, 83,500,000 shares of Joby common stock at $10.00 per share for an aggregate commitment amount of $835,000,0000 (the “PIPE Investment”), a portion of which was funded by certain affiliates of Reinvent Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and shareholder of RTP, RTP’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”). The PIPE Investment was consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing.

Immediately after giving effect to the redemption of 42,416,710 Class A ordinary shares of RTP in connection with the Business Combination, the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, there were 603,887,944 shares of Joby common stock and 28,783,333 Joby warrants outstanding. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, RTP’s ordinary shares, warrants and units ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), and Joby’s common stock and warrants began trading on August 11, 2021 on the NYSE under the symbols “JOBY” and “JOBY WS,” respectively. Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, (1) RTP’s public shareholders owned approximately 4.40% of the outstanding Joby common stock, (2) Old Joby equity holders (without taking into account any public shares held by Old Joby equity holders prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) owned approximately 80.59% of the outstanding Joby common stock, (3) the Sponsor and related parties (including the Sponsor Related PIPE Investors) collectively owned approximately 4.76% of the outstanding Joby common stock and (4) the third party PIPE investors owned approximately 10.25% of the outstanding Joby common stock.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

On August 10, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Joby, the Sponsor, RTP’s directors, certain equtyholders of Joby, and certain of their respective affiliates, as applicable, entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are described in the section of the Proxy

Statement/Prospectus beginning on page 105 titled “Related Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement.” Such description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Lock-up Agreements

On August 10, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Joby and the stockholder parties listed on Exhibit A of the Major Company Equityholders Lock-Up Agreement entered into the Other Company Equityholders Lock-Up Agreement (together, the “Lock-Up Agreements”). The material terms of the Lock-Up Agreements are described in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus beginning on page 105 titled “Related Agreements—Lock-Up Agreements.” Such description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Major Company Equityholders Lock-Up Agreement and the Other Company Equityholders Lock-Up Agreement, which are included as Exhibits 10.20(a) and 10.20(b) to this Report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The disclosure set forth in the “Introductory Note - Domestication and Merger Transaction” above is incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.

FORM 10 INFORMATION

Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that if the predecessor registrant was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as RTP was immediately before the Business Combination, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10. As a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, and as discussed below in Item 5.06 of this Report, the Company has ceased to be a shell company. Accordingly, the Company is providing the information below that would be included in a Form 10 if it were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined company after the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of Joby’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with “Selected Historical Financial and Operating Data”, the historical audited annual statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in this Report and the historical unaudited interim statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes that are included elsewhere in this Report. The discussion and analysis should also be read together with the pro forma financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (and for the six months ended June 30, 2021). See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Joby’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this Report.

Overview

We have spent more than a decade designing and testing a piloted all-electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically, while cruising like a traditional airplane. The aircraft is quiet when taking off, near silent when flying overhead and is designed to transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, with a maximum range of 150 miles on a single charge. The low noise enabled by the all-electric powertrain will allow the aircraft to operate around dense, urban areas while blending into the background noise of cities. With more than 1,000 successful test flights already completed, and the only electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft developer to receive a G-1 certification basis to date, we believe our aircraft will be the first of its kind to earn airworthiness certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

We don’t intend to sell these aircraft to third parties or individual consumers. Instead, we will manufacture, own and operate our aircraft, building a vertically integrated transportation company that will deliver a convenient app-based aerial ridesharing service directly to end-users, beginning commercial passenger service in 2024. We believe this business model will generate the greatest economic returns, while providing us with end-to-end control over the customer experience to optimize for customer safety, comfort and value.

Since our inception in 2009, we have been primarily engaged in research and development of eVTOL aircraft. We incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since its inception. As of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $402.8 million. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock.

The Business Combination

We entered into the Merger Agreement with RTP, a special purpose acquisition company, on February 23, 2021. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and assuming a favorable vote of RTP’s stockholders, Merger Sub, a newly formed subsidiary of RTP, will be merged with and into Joby. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease; Joby will survive and become a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP, which will be renamed Joby Aviation, Inc.

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with GAAP. We expect to be deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation”) as the parent company of the combined business, will be the successor SEC registrant, meaning that our financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination is expected to have a significant impact on our future capital structure and operating results, de-risking our product development, manufacturing and commercialization. The most significant changes in Joby Aviation’s future reported financial positions are expected to be an estimated net increase in cash (as compared to our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021) of $1,016 million, including approximately $835.0 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment to be consummated substantially simultaneously with the Business Combination, net of $80.8 million in transaction costs for the Business Combination, of which $24.4 million represents deferred underwriter and legal fees related to RTP’s initial public offering. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.”

As a result of the Business Combination, we expect to become the successor to an SEC-registered and NYSE-listed company, which will require us to hire additional personnel and implement

 

6


procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Development of the Urban Air Mobility market

Our revenue will be directly tied to the continued development of short distance aerial transportation. While we believe the market for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) will be large, it remains undeveloped and there is no guarantee of future demand. We anticipate commercialization of our service beginning in 2024, and our business will require significant investment leading up to launching passenger services, including, but not limited to, final engineering designs, prototyping and testing, manufacturing, software development, certification, pilot training and commercialization.

We believe one of the primary drivers for adoption of our aerial ridesharing service is the value proposition and time savings offered by aerial mobility relative to traditional ground-based transportation. Additional factors impacting the pace of adoption of our aerial ridesharing service include but are not limited to: perceptions about eVTOL quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which eVTOL may be flown on a single battery charge; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; availability of competing forms of transportation, such as ground or air taxi or ride-hailing services; the development of adequate infrastructure; consumers’ perception about the convenience and cost of transportation using eVTOL relative to ground-based alternatives; and increases in fuel efficiency, autonomy, or electrification of cars. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for UAM services, particularly if end-user pricing is at a premium to ground-based transportation alternatives or more permanent work-from-home behaviors persist following the COVID pandemic. We anticipate initial operations in selected high-density metropolitan areas where traffic congestion is particularly acute and operating conditions are suitable for early eVTOL operations. If the market for UAM does not develop as expected, this would impact our ability to generate revenue or grow our business.

Competition

We believe that the primary sources of competition for our service are ground-based mobility solutions, other eVTOL developers/operators and local/regional incumbent aircraft charter services. While we expect to be first to market with an eVTOL facilitated aerial ridesharing service, we expect this industry to be dynamic and increasingly competitive; it is possible that our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not fully realize the benefits we anticipate, and we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overcome by other competitors. If new companies or existing aerospace companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate and obtain large-scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for eVTOL aircraft and aerial ridesharing, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate an aerial ridesharing service in the markets in which we intend to launch or in other markets. In the event we do not capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate, it may harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For a more comprehensive discussion, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Government Certification

We also announced that we have agreed to a “G-1” certification basis for our aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). This agreement lays out the specific requirements that need to be met by our aircraft for it to be certified for commercial operations. “G-1” outlines the criteria that need to be met in order for an aircraft to be certified for civil commercial operations, and reaching this milestone marks a key step on the way towards certifying any new aircraft in the U.S. Our aircraft will be certified in line with the FAA’s existing Part 23 requirements for Normal Category Airplanes, with special conditions introduced to address requirements specific to our unique aircraft. These special conditions, defined in the “G-1” document, are expected to be published in the U.S. Federal Register in 2021. We will also need to obtain authorizations and certifications related to the production

 

7


of our aircraft and the deployment of our aerial ridesharing service. While we anticipate being able to meet the requirements of such authorizations and certifications, we may be unable to obtain such authorizations and certifications, or to do so on the timeline we project. Should we fail to obtain any of the required authorizations or certifications, or do so in a timely manner, or any of these authorizations or certifications are modified, suspended or revoked after we obtain them, we may be unable to launch our commercial service or do so on the timelines we project, which would have adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and/or results of operations.

Agility Prime

In December of 2020, we became the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft from the U.S. Air Force, and in the first quarter of 2021, we officially began on-base operations under contract pursuant to the U.S. Air Force’s Agility Prime program. Our multi-year relationship with the U.S. Air Force and other U.S. Government agencies provides us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch. In addition to the operational learnings, our existing contracts also provide for more than $40 million of payments through 2024 based upon full performance, and we are actively pursuing additional contracts and relationships that would further secure these on-base operations going forward. Our U.S. government contracting party may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts with us without prior notice and either at its convenience or for default based on performance, or may decline to accept performance or exercise subsequent option years. We may also be unable to secure additional contracts or continue to grow our relationship with the U.S. government and/or Department of Defense.

Impact of COVID-19 

In December 2019, COVID-19 was first reported to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), and in January 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak to be a public health emergency. In March 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The impact of COVID-19, including changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears and market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, has created significant volatility in the global economy and led to reduced economic activity. The spread of COVID-19 has also created a disruption in the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain for manufacturers and suppliers, and has led to a decrease in the need of transportation services around the world.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we modified our business practices (including employee travel, recommending that all non-essential personnel work from home and cancellation or reduction of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and implemented additional safety protocols for essential workers. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers, vendors and business partners.

While the ultimate duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown.

Fully-Integrated Business Model

Our business model to serve as a fully-integrated eVTOL transportation service provider is uncertain. Present projections indicate that payback periods on aircraft will result in a viable business model over the long-term as production volumes scale and unit economics improve to support sufficient market adoption. As with any new industry and business model, numerous risks and uncertainties exist. Our financial results are dependent on certifying and delivering aircraft on time and at a cost that supports returns at prices that sufficient numbers of customers are willing to pay based on value arising from time and efficiency savings from utilizing eVTOL services. Our aircraft include numerous parts and manufacturing processes unique to eVTOL aircraft, in general, and our product design, in particular. Best efforts have been made to estimate costs in our planning projections; however, the variable cost associated with assembling our aircraft at scale remains uncertain at this stage of development. The success of our business also is dependent, in part, on the utilization rate of our aircraft and reductions in utilization will adversely impact our financial performance. Our aircraft may not be able to fly safely in poor weather conditions, including snowstorms, thunderstorms, lightning, hail, known icing conditions and/or fog. Our inability to

 

8


operate safely in these conditions will reduce our aircraft utilization and cause delays and disruptions in our services. We intend to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization rate which is the amount of time our aircraft spend in the air carrying passengers. High daily aircraft utilization is achieved in part by reducing turnaround times at skyports so we can fly more hours on average in a day. Aircraft utilization is reduced by delays and cancellations from various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including adverse weather conditions, security requirements, air traffic congestion and unscheduled maintenance events.

Components of Results of Operations

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, costs of consulting, equipment and materials, depreciation and amortization and allocations of overhead, including rent, information technology costs and utilities. Research and development expenses are partially offset by payments we received in the form of government grants, including those received under the Agility Prime program.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we increase staffing to support aircraft engineering and software development, build aircraft prototypes, and continue to explore and develop next generation aircraft and technologies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, related to executive management, finance, legal, human resource functions, and business development, contractor and professional services fees, audit and compliance expenses, insurance costs and general corporate expenses, including allocated depreciation, rent, information technology costs and utilities.

Near term increases in selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to be related to hiring additional personnel and consultants to support our commercialization efforts and compliance with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) and other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations.

Investment in SummerBio, LLC

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to us could be repurposed and applied to providing high-volume, rapid COVID-19 diagnostic testing. To enable the development and deployment of this technology, in May 2020, SummerBio, LLC (“SummerBio”) was established. SummerBio was 100% beneficially owned by us, and a fully consolidated subsidiary until August 24, 2020.

On August 24, 2020 SummerBio raised additional financing through issuing equity instruments to other investors and changed the structure of its board of directors, as a result of which we concluded that on August 24, 2020 we no longer had a controlling interest in SummerBio. We concluded that our retained interest in SummerBio should be accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, we deconsolidated SummerBio, recognized our remaining investment in SummerBio as an equity investment at a fair value of $5.2 million, derecognized net liabilities of SummerBio of $1.7 million and recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $6.9 million, which is included in other income on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. We recognized our share of earnings of SummerBio as income from equity method investment on the consolidated statement of operations for the total amount of $8.9 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

Acquisition of Uber Elevate

On January 11, 2021, we completed the acquisition of a portion of Uber Technologies, Inc.’s (“Uber”) business dedicated to development of aerial ridesharing (“Uber Elevate”) in exchange for consideration in the form of 2,581,285 of Joby’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares. Concurrently with the acquisition of Uber

 

9


Elevate, Joby issued to Uber a convertible note for the total principal amount of $75.0 million. Joby determined that the convertible note included a discount of approximately $0.5 million, which is attributable to the consideration transferred by Joby in this acquisition. Following the acquisition date of January 11, 2021, the results of operations of Uber Elevate are fully consolidated in our consolidated statement of operations.

Asset Acquisition

On April 6, 2021, we completed acquisition of an entity (the “acquiree”) engaged in the development of transportation technology with application to aviation, whereby it acquired all the outstanding shares of the acquiree in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $5.0 million in cash, (ii) 774,385 shares of Series C Preferred stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $23.9 million. Upon closing of the acquisition, the acquiree’s former shareholders became our employees. The Series C Preferred shares issued to the former shareholders as part of the total consideration are subject to a six year quarterly vesting term, which is contingent of the continued employment of the former shareholders with the Company. We concluded that Series C Preferred shares are considered to be a part of the former shareholders’ postcombination compensation expense rather than part of purchase consideration.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The purchase consideration of $5.0 million was allocated to the acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets, $0.1 million was allocated to the acquired current liabilities and less then $0.1 million allocated to the acquired current assets. We concluded that acquired IPR&D assets are to be used only in specific programs and have no alternative future use if such programs fail to result in a commercialized product. Therefore, the acquired IPR&D assets were immediately written off and reflected as part of research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Preferred Stock Warrant

On March 19, 2021 we entered into a government grant contract with In-Q-Tel, an independent nonprofit corporation under contract to the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S. Government, under which we receive payments from In-Q-Tel in support of the development of our technology and future services offering. Upon submission of certain specified deliverables over the span of three to five months we will receive a total of $1.0 million from In-Q-Tel.

In connection with entering into the government grant contract with In-Q-Tel, Joby issued to In-Q-Tel a warrant for 19,857 shares of our Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares with an issuance date fair value of $0.6 million and recognized a respective deferred cost. The deferred cost will be amortized to research and development expenses as we earn the $1.0 million in government grants from In-Q-Tel.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of the interest on our convertible notes, equipment finance leases and tenant improvement loans. Interest on convertible notes relates to convertible notes that converted into Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares in December 2019 and Series C redeemeable convertible preferred notes issued to Uber in January 2021.

Loss from Changes in Fair Value of Derivative Liability

The convertible promissory notes issued in December 2018, and January 2019 contained embedded features that provided the lenders with multiple settlement alternatives. Certain conversion and redemption features embedded in the convertible notes met the requirements for separate accounting and were accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument for each round of convertible note financing. The compound derivative instruments were recorded at fair value at inception and were subject to remeasurement to fair value at each consolidated balance sheet date, with the change in fair value reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. In December 2019, the 2018 and 2019 convertible notes were converted into Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares, and the derivative instruments were settled as part of the conversion.

 

10


Loss on extinguishment of convertible notes

During 2019, the convertible promissory notes issued in December 2018 and January 2019 were converted into Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares, and we recognized a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes at the date of the conversion.

Provision for Income Taxes

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

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development increased by $42.0 million, or 91%, to 88.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $46.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $31.6 million increase in personnel to support aircraft engineering, software development, manufacturing process development, and certification and increased materials used in prototype development and testing. These increases were offset partially by government research & development grants earned through increased operations as part of our Department of Defense contracts.

Selling, general and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $16.4 million, or 171%, to $26.0 million during the six months ended June 20, 2021 from $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to increased headcount to support operations growth, including IT, legal, facilities, HR, and finance. Additional cost increases primarily reflect professional services related to legal, accounting and recruiting support.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $2.9 million, or 81%, to $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, driven mainly by the decline in interest rates on our short-term investments and bank deposits.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 1,388%, to $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.1 million during the six months ended June, 2020 due to the interest expense on the convertible notes issued in January 2021 to Uber.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development increased by $38.6 million, or 55%, to $108.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 from $70.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to a $29.9 million increase in personnel expenses as a result of increased headcount to support aircraft engineering, software development, manufacturing process development, and certification. Other costs include increased materials used in prototype development and testing, and higher depreciation and amortization due to acquisition of additional equipment and facility leasehold improvements. In 2020, our research and development expenses also included $1.8 million for cost associated with SummerBio, which was deconsolidated within the year.

 

14


Selling, general and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.5 million, or 68%, to $23.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 from $14.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.4 million increase in personnel expenses from increased headcount to support operations growth, including IT, legal, facilities, HR, finance, and business development. Additional cost increases primarily reflect professional services related to legal and patent prosecution, consulting services and software and data storage expenses. In 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses related to SummerBio totaled $0.6 million prior to deconsolidation.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $3.5 million, or 180%, to $5.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 from $1.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, driven mainly by income on short-term investments and bank deposits, reflecting our higher overall investment balances as a result of our convertible note and Series C preferred stock financings.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses decreased by $22.7 million, or 99%, to $0.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 from $23.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 reflecting the conversion of our convertible notes into Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares in December 2019.

Income from equity method investment and gain on disposal of subsidiary

Upon deconsolidation of SummerBio in August 2020, we recognized our retained interest in SummerBio as an equity method investment at fair value, which resulted in recognizing a gain of $6.9 million during 2020. In addition, following deconsolidation of SummerBio, we recognized our respective share of SummerBio’s income from the date of deconsolidation until December 31, 2020 of $5.8 million under equity method of accounting.

Loss from Change in Fair Value of Convertible Promissory Note Derivative Liability

Loss from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to remeasurement of the derivative liabilities to fair value prior to the settlement of this derivative liability upon conversion of the convertible notes into Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares in December 2019.

Convertible note extinguishment loss

Loss on conversion of convertible notes was nil for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, due to the settlement of the convertible promissory notes upon conversion of the notes into shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock in December 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows from operations since inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future until we successfully commence sustainable commercial operations. To date, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. From inception through June 30, 2021, we raised net proceeds of $843.3 million from the issuances of redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible notes. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $45.0 million and short-term investment in marketable securities of $375.2 million. Restricted cash, totaling $0.8 million, reflects a security deposit on leased

 

15


facilities. In January 2021 we issued a convertible note to Uber for the net proceeds of $75.0 million. The convertible note bears interest at 5% per annum and has a maturity date on January 11, 2023. Upon occurrence of a SPAC transaction the convertible note’s then outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will convert into our Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares. We believe that our cash on hand will satisfy our working capital and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date on which our consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

We expect our cash and cash equivalents on hand, and cash that we expect to receive from the business combination and PIPE Investment, together with the cash we expect to generate from future operations will provide sufficient funding to support initial commercial operations. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding our research and development activities and other personnel cost. Near-term capital requirements through 2024 leading to initial commercialization are estimated to total of approximately $850-$900 million and include pilot plant production to support production certification, scaled manufacturing operations for commercialization, infrastructure and skyport development, pilot training and production of aircraft. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from our customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing we may not be able to raise such financing on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to continue our research and development and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available, we may need to reconsider our production investments, the pace of our production ramp-up, infrastructure investments in skyports, expansion plans or limit our research and development activities, which could have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions for the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

We measure and record the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant. We recognize stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, generally equal to the vesting period and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation, and account for forfeitures as they occur. We selected the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model as the method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of share-based awards, including the option’s expected term, expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield.

Expected volatility — As we are not a publicly traded Company, the expected volatility for our stock options was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to be comparable to our business corresponding to the expected term of the awards.

Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected term of the awards.

Expected dividend yield — The expected dividend rate is zero as we currently have no history or expectation of declaring dividends on Joby common stock.

Expected term — The expected term represents the period these stock awards are expected to remain outstanding and is based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules, and expectations of future employee behavior.

Fair Value of Common Stock

The fair value of our common stock is determined by the board of directors with assistance from management and, in part, on input from an independent third-party valuation firm. We believe that our board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine the fair value of our common stock.

Given the absence of a public trading market of our common stock, and in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation (“Practice Aid”), our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the best estimate of the fair value of our common stock at each grant date. These factors include:

 

   

contemporaneous valuations of our common stock performed by independent third-party specialists;

 

   

the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;

 

   

the prices paid for common or convertible preferred stock sold to third-party investors by us and prices paid in secondary transactions for shares repurchased by us in arm’s-length transactions, including any tender offers, if any;

 

   

the lack of marketability inherent in our common stock;

 

19


   

our actual operating and financial performance;

 

   

our current business conditions and projections;

 

   

the hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;

 

   

the history of the company and the introduction of new products;

 

   

our stage of development;

 

   

the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering (IPO), a merger, or acquisition of our company given prevailing market conditions;

 

   

the operational and financial performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and

 

   

the U.S. and global capital market conditions and overall economic conditions.

In valuing Joby common stock, the fair value of our business was determined using various valuation methods, including combinations of income, market and cost approaches with input from management. The income approach estimates value based on the expectation of future cash flows that a company will generate. These future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a discount rate that is derived from an analysis of the cost of capital of comparable publicly traded companies in our industry or similar business operations as of each valuation date and is adjusted to reflect the risks inherent in our cash flows. The market approach estimates value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable public companies in a similar line of business. From the comparable companies, a representative market value multiple is determined and then applied to the subject company’s financial forecasts to estimate the value of the subject company.

The Practice Aid identifies various available methods for allocating enterprise value across classes and series of capital stock to determine the estimated fair value of common stock at each valuation date. Based on our early stage of development and other relevant factors, we determined that the Option Pricing Method (“OPM”) was the most appropriate method for allocating our enterprise value to determine the estimated fair value of Joby common stock. OPM uses option theory to value the various classes of a company’s securities in light of their respective claims to the enterprise value. Total stockholders’ equity value is allocated to the various share classes based upon their respective claims on a series of call options with strike prices at various value levels depending upon the rights and preferences of each class. A Black-Scholes closed form option pricing model is typically employed in this analysis, with an option term assumption that is consistent with Management’s expected time to a liquidity event and a volatility assumption based on the estimated stock price volatility of a peer group of comparable public companies over a similar term.

In determining the estimated fair value of Joby common stock, our board of directors also considered the fact that our stockholders could not freely trade Joby common stock in the public markets. Accordingly, we applied discounts to reflect the lack of marketability of Joby common stock based on the weighted-average expected time to liquidity. The estimated fair value of Joby common stock at each grant date reflected a non-marketability discount partially based on the anticipated likelihood and timing of a future liquidity event.

Application of these approaches and methodologies involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses and future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable public companies and the probability of and timing associated with possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions or the relationships between those assumptions impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on the valuation of Joby common stock. Following the Business Combination, it will not be necessary to determine the fair value of Joby Aviation common stock as the shares will be traded in a public market.

Changes in the Estimated Fair Value of Joby Common Stock During the Periods Presented

Below we present a discussion regarding material differences between the valuations used to determine the fair value of our common stock relative to the fair value implied by the Business Combination.

Valuation History — In August 2019, we commenced a funding round led by Toyota Motor Corporation which resulted in the sale of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares of approximately $525.0 million, which began in December 2019 and materially concluded in June 2020. As of December 2019, the 409A valuation of Joby common stock was determined to be $7.85 per share. In determining the fair value of common stock in the December 2019 409A valuation, we utilized the price of Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares as the most recent capital raise transaction, noting that no significant changes in our operations have occurred between August and December 2019.

 

20


In April 2020 and September 2020, Joby common stock value was determined to be $10.08 per share and $16.78 per share, respectively.

In 2020, Joby common stock price increased mainly due to gradual improvements made by us in research and development. In 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with Toyota, whose partnership brings scaled manufacturing experience and quality to our operations. Further in 2020, to our knowledge, we became the first company that has agreed to a G-1 certification basis for aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). In addition, we received the U.S. Air Force’s first military airworthiness approval for an eVTOL passenger aircraft.

Beginning in December 2020, we started to investigate entering into a transaction with a SPAC. From December 2020 through January 2021, there were initial SPAC meetings, and a non-binding LOI was executed with the Company on January 22, 2021. The LOI set forth the basic terms of a potential transaction between Joby and the Company, contemplating a pre-money equity value of $5,000.0 million for Joby as well as a PIPE Investment of between $310 million and $510 million in the aggregate, subject to finalization of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, and obtention of sufficient commitments from PIPE Investors.

On January 11 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Uber Elevate, we performed a 409A valuation of Joby common stock, which was determined to be $28.45 per share.

On February 23, 2021 we entered into the Merger Agreement with RTP. The fair value of our common stock implied in the Merger Agreement at the close of the transaction was estimated at approximately $34.0 per share. On February 23, 2021, we performed a 409A valuation of Joby common stock, which was determined to be $29.70 per share. Subsequently, on June 14, 2021 we performed a 409A valuation of Joby common stock, which was determined to be $31.01 per share.

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

 

409A Valuation Date    Common Stock Fair Value  
12/23/2019    $ 7.85  
4/20/2020    $ 10.08  
9/30/2020    $ 16.78  
1/11/2021    $ 28.45  
2/23/2021    $ 29.70  
6/14/2021    $ 31.01  

For the December 2019 409A valuation, we applied a market-based valuation approach to determine the common stock fair value. To arrive at the fair value of common stock, Joby assigned 100% weighting to OPM.

For the April 2020 and September 2020 409A valuations, we applied valuation methods that relied on a continuing operations scenario approach, whereby during the periods discussed above, the time to liquidity was approximately two to two and half years, as adjusted as appropriate depending on the valuation date.

With the signing of the LOI with a SPAC on January 22, 2021, we adjusted our valuation assumptions in the January 11, 2021 409A valuation report. Specifically, beginning with the January 11, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized a combination approach relying on (1) a continued operations scenario and (2) a transaction scenario, which we described as the hybrid method (the “Hybrid Method”). The Hybrid Method is appropriate for a company expecting a near term liquidity event, but where, due to market or other factors, the likelihood of completing the liquidity event is uncertain. The Hybrid Method is also appropriate when various possible future outcomes are

 

21


assumed by management of Joby. The Hybrid Method considers a company’s going concern nature, stage of development and the company’s ability to forecast near and long-term future liquidity scenarios. The Hybrid Method was deemed the most appropriate due to the execution of the LOI. The outcomes of each scenario are assigned a probability, and a future equity value under each outcome is then estimated.

A discussion of the two scenarios used in the Hybrid Method as of January 11, 2021 is as follows:

Continuing Operations Scenario:

Under the continuing operations scenario (the “Continuing Operations Scenario”), we utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Joby, resulting in a per share value of $27.06 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability (“DLOM”) being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of two years and a volatility of 71.2%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 22.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of two years and a common stock volatility of 78.7% resulting in a per common share value of $20.97 at January 11, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.

Transaction Scenario:

Under the transaction scenario (the “Transaction Scenario”), we assumed a pre-money equity value of $5,000.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $33.83 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 8.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of four months and overall company volatility of 66.1% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $30.95 at January 2021 under the Transaction Scenario.

The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $28.45 at January 11, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $20.97 (25%) and Transaction Scenario at $30.95 (75%). The weightings reflected the uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP, taking into account the non-binding nature of the LOI and the preliminary stage of the due diligence and PIPE Investment processes. We entered into the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.

Impact on Measurement of Share-based Payment Awards — We granted approximately 4.1 million options during the year ended December 31, 2020. During the six months ended on June 30, 2021, we granted approximately 3.1 million restricted stock units. The following chart reflects the date of the option grant, the number of options granted, and the fair value of the underlying common stock used to value such awards for accounting purposes. Such options were measured at fair value on the date of grant.

In performing the February 23, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized the same methodology and approach as for the January 11, 2021 409A valuation, with the exception of the following updates to the assumptions and inputs:

Continuing Operations Scenario:

We utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Joby, resulting in a per share value of $27.61 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability (“DLOM”) being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of 1.85 years and a volatility of 72.6%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 22.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of two years and a common stock volatility of 80.1% resulting in a per common share value of $21.32 at February 23, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.

Transaction Scenario:

We assumed a pre-money equity value of $5,000.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $33.29 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 8.0% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of four months and overall company volatility of 58.8% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $30.63 at February 23, 2021.

The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $29.70 at February 23, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $21.32 (10%) and Transaction Scenario at $30.63 (90%). The weightings reflected the decreased uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP as compared to the January 11, 2021 valuation, taking into account the signing of the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.

 

23


In performing the June 14, 2021 409A valuation, we utilized the same methodology and approach as for the February 23, 2021 409A valuations, with the exception of the following updates to the assumptions and inputs:

Continuing Operations Scenario:

We utilized an income approach to estimate the enterprise value of Joby and the option pricing model to allocate the resulting enterprise value to the various classes of securities of Joby, resulting in a per share value of $29.03 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability (“DLOM”) being applied. The OPM assumptions included a time to liquidity event of 1.55 years and a volatility of 76.2%. The term considers the need for additional capital in this scenario. A DLOM of 21.5% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 1.55 years and a common stock volatility of 83.5% resulting in a per common share value of $22.79 at June 14, 2021 under the Continuing Operations Scenario.

Transaction Scenario

We assumed a pre-money equity value of $4,860.0 million, which resulted in a per share value of $33.60 per common share, prior to a discount for the lack of marketability being applied. A DLOM of 5.0% was applied based on various put option models assuming a term of 49 days and overall company volatility of 60.2% as well as a present value factor of 10.5% based on the same term, resulting in a per common share value of $31.92 at June 14, 2021.

The application of the Hybrid Method resulted in a per common share value of $31.01 at June 14, 2021. Such value was derived based on a weighted average value assigned to the Continuing Operations Scenario at $22.79 (10%) and Transaction Scenario at $31.92 (90%). The weightings reflected the decreased uncertainty regarding the potential transaction between us and RTP as compared to the January 11, 2021 valuation, taking into account the signing of the Merger Agreement with RTP on February 23, 2021, at which point we believed the likelihood of the consummation of the Merger increased significantly.

To evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares for grants taking place on dates between the dates of any two independent valuations, a linear interpolation framework was used to evaluate the fair value of the underlying shares granted between such two valuation dates. Joby determined that a linear interpolation was appropriate as there were no material changes in our business, research and development activities, cost structure or financial condition in the intervening period. Other than the non-binding LOI, which was not signed between us and RTP until January 22, 2021, there were no material transactions during the intervening period that would impact our valuation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for more information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Emerging Growth Company Accounting Election

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a 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 a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. Reinvent is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period,

We expect to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public business entities and non-public business entities until the earlier of the date we (a) are no longer an emerging growth company and (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended

 

24


transition period provided in the JOBS Act. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (a) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act: (b) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (c) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (d) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1 shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Sponsor, an Investor Stockholder or a Joby Holder (any of the Sponsor, an Investor Stockholder or a Joby Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf, including a Block Trade (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $100 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”).

If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if the Sponsor, an Investor Stockholder or a Joby Holder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Sponsor, such Investor Stockholder or such Joby Holder, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker,

 

12


placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect);

3.1.15 with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that each Holder shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing such Holder.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements

 

13


approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.4.2 Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.4.3 Subject to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.

3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in each case, during any twelve (12)-month period.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required

 

14


from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents executing sales or distributions of Registrable Securities, and their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act), each other Holder (and each other Holder’s directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls such other Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act), and the Underwriters, and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents executing sales or distributions of Registrable Securities, and their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that a Holder’s obligation to indemnify shall be several, and not joint and several with any other Person, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited, when taken together with such Holder’s liability pursuant to the other provisions in this Section 4, to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such

 

15


failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited, when taken together with such Holder’s liability pursuant to the other provisions in this Section 4, to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

17

NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (1) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND (2) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE), OR, IF IT HAS OR CAN ACQUIRE JURISDICTION, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE.

5.7 Other Registration Rights.

For (a) the duration of the Sponsor Consent Period, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder (such rights “Competing Registration Rights”) without (1) the prior written consent of the Sponsor Managers, or (2) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions; (b) for so long as an Investor Stockholder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least three percent (3.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant Competing Registration Rights without (1) the prior written consent of such Investor Stockholder, or (2) granting economically and legally

 

18


equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions; and (c) for so long as a Joby Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least three percent (3.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant Competing Registration Rights without (1) the prior written consent of such Joby Holder, or (2) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and conditions. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions, other than the Subscription Agreements. Further, in the event of a conflict between any other agreement or agreements (including, without limitation, the Subscription Agreements) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail solely as between or among the parties to this Agreement.

5.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

5.10 Additional Holders; Joinder. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, subject to the prior written consent of each of (i) the Sponsor Managers (until the termination of the Sponsor Consent Period), (ii) each Joby Holder, and (iii) each Investor Stockholder (in the case of each Joby Holder and each Investor Stockholder, so long as such Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least three percent (3.0%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) the Company may make any person or entity who acquires Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an “Additional Holder”) by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common Stock of the Company then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common Stock”) shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Stock.

5.11 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.12 Entire Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing, the Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

Exhibit A

Exhibit 10.11

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT AGREEMENT

This Indemnification and Advancement Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of                      by and between Joby Aviation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                    , [a member of the Board of Directors/an officer/an employee/an agent/a fiduciary] of the Company (“Indemnitee”). This Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all previous Agreements between the Company and Indemnitee covering indemnification and advancement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that highly competent persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers, or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification and advancement of expenses against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the corporation;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company and its subsidiaries from certain liabilities. Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance may be available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive and time-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company. Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses;

WHEREAS, the uncertainties relating to such insurance, to indemnification, and to advancement of expenses may increase the difficulty of attracting and retaining such persons;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining such persons is detrimental to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

WHEREAS, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified;


WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and is not a substitute therefor, nor diminishes or abrogates any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, DGCL and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve or continue to serve as an officer or director without adequate additional protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified and be advanced expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1.    Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as [a/an] [director/officer/employee/agent/fiduciary] of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law). This Agreement does not create any obligation on the Company to continue Indemnitee in such position and is not an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee.

Section 2.    Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(a)    “Agent” means any person who is authorized by the Company or an Enterprise to act for or represent the interests of the Company or an Enterprise, respectively.

(b)    A “Change in Control” occurs upon the earliest to occur after the date of this Agreement of any of the following events:

i.    Acquisition of Stock by Third Party. Any Person (as defined below) is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined below), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifteen percent (15%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities unless the change in relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any Person results solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

ii.    Change in Board of Directors. During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the execution of this Agreement), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in Sections 2(b)(i), 2(b)(iii) or 2(b)(iv)) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board;

 

-2-


iii.    Corporate Transactions. The effective date of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation and with the power to elect at least a majority of the board of directors or other governing body of such surviving entity;

iv.    Liquidation. The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; and

v.    Other Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any similar schedule or form) promulgated under the Exchange Act (as defined below), whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.

vi.    For purposes of this Section 2(b), the following terms have the following meanings:

 

  1

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.

 

  2

“Person” has the meaning as set forth in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Person excludes (i) the Company, (ii) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and (iii) any corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

 

  3

“Beneficial Owner” has the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that Beneficial Owner excludes any Person otherwise becoming a Beneficial Owner by reason of the stockholders of the Company approving a merger of the Company with another entity.

(c)     “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person who is or was acting as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or Agent of the Company or an Enterprise.

The parties agree that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable in the good faith judgment of such counsel will be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. Expenses, however, do not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(g)    “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” does not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

(h)    The term “Proceeding” includes any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim, counterclaim, cross claim, arbitration, mediation, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee (or a failure to take action by Indemnitee) or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while acting pursuant to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or Expense is incurred for which

 

-4-


indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses can be provided under this Agreement. A Proceeding also includes a situation the Indemnitee believes in good faith may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding.

Section 3.    Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 4.    Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company will indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. The Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses under this Section 4 related to any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding for which Indemnitee has been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought determines upon application by Indemnitee that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.

Section 5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding the extent that Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with or related to each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter to the fullest extent permitted by law. For purposes of this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, will be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

Section 6.    Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and

 

-5-


reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party but to which Indemnitee is a witness, deponent, interviewee, or otherwise asked to participate.

Section 7.    Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

Section 8.    Additional Indemnification. Notwithstanding any limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including but not limited to, the DGCL and any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that expand the Company’s ability to indemnify its officers and directors) if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor).

Section 9.    Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company is not obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnification payment to Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding:

(a)    for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except to the extent provided in Section 16(b) and except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision; or

(b)    for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof) or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) or (iii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any compensation pursuant to any compensation recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Board, including but not limited to any such policy adopted to comply with stock exchange listing requirements implementing Section 10D of the Exchange Act; or

(c)    initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Proceeding or part of any Proceeding is to enforce Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advancement, of Expenses, including a Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement, (ii) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation or (iii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law.

 

-6-


Section 10.    Advances of Expenses.

(a)    The Company will advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) not initiated by Indemnitee or any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee if (i) the Proceeding or part of any Proceeding is to enforce Indemnitee’s rights to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company or Enterprise, including a proceeding initiated pursuant to Section 14 or (ii) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation. The Company will advance the Expenses within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding.

(b)    Advances will be unsecured and interest free. Indemnitee undertakes to repay the amounts advanced (without interest) to the extent that it is ultimately determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, thus Indemnitee qualifies for advances upon the execution of this Agreement and delivery to the Company. No other form of undertaking is required other than the execution of this Agreement. The Company will make advances without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 11.    Procedure for Notification of Claim for Indemnification or Advancement.

(a)    Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing of any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written notice thereof. Indemnitee will include in the written notification to the Company a description of the nature of the Proceeding and the facts underlying the Proceeding and provide such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of such Proceeding. Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company will not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company will, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification or advancement, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification or advancement.

(b)    The Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

 

-7-


Section 12.    Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.

(a)    Unless a Change of Control has occurred, the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be made:

i.    by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board;

ii.    by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board;

iii.     if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by written opinion provided by Independent Counsel selected by the Board; or

iv.    if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Company.

(b)    If a Change in Control has occurred, the determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification will be made by written opinion provided by Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee requests such selection be made by the Board)

(c)     The party selecting Independent Counsel pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) or (b) of this Section 12 will provide written notice of the selection to the other party. The notified party may, within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of the selection of Independent Counsel, deliver to the selecting party a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection will set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected will act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within thirty (30) days after the later of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) hereof and the final disposition of the Proceeding, Independent Counsel has not been selected or, if selected, any objection to has not been resolved, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Delaware Court for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by such court or by such other person as such court designates. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 14(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel will be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

(d)    Indemnitee will cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. The Company will advance and pay any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making the indemnification determination irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee

 

-8-


harmless therefrom. The Company promptly will advise Indemnitee in writing of the determination that Indemnitee is or is not entitled to indemnification, including a description of any reason or basis for which indemnification has been denied and providing a copy of any written opinion provided to the Board by Independent Counsel.

(e)    If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company will make payment to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after such determination.

Section 13.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.

(a)    In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such determination will, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 11(a) of this Agreement, and the Company will, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company (including by its directors or Independent Counsel) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(b)    If the determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification has not made pursuant to Section 12 within sixty (60) days after the later of (i) receipt by the Company of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification pursuant to Section 11(a) and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding for which Indemnitee requested Indemnification (the “Determination Period”), the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification will, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee will be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. The Determination Period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, the Determination Period may be extended an additional fifteen (15) days if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by the stockholders pursuant to Section 12(a)(iv) of this Agreement.

(c)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

 

-9-


(d)    For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee acted based on the records or books of account of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors or officers of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or an Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, financial advisor or other expert selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, its subsidiaries, or an Enterprise. Further, Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company,” as referred to in this Agreement if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan. The provisions of this Section 13(d) is not exclusive and does not limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

(e)    The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, trustee, partner, managing member, fiduciary, agent or employee of the Enterprise may not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 14.    Remedies of Indemnitee.

(a)    Indemnitee may commence litigation against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery to obtain indemnification or advancement of Expenses provided by this Agreement in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) the Company does not advance Expenses pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement, (iii) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement within the Determination Period, (iv) the Company does not indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the second to last sentence of Section 12(d) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, (v) the Company does not indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3, 4, 7, or 8 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, or (vi) in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, the Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to the Indemnitee hereunder. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitee’s option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee must commence such Proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such Proceeding pursuant to this Section 14(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause does not apply in respect of a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company will not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 

-10-


(b)    If a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 will be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee may not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 the Company will have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be, and will not introduce evidence of the determination made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement.

(c)    If a determination is made pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company will be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.

(d)    The Company is, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 14 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and will stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.

(e)    It is the intent of the Company that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Indemnitee not be required to incur legal fees or other Expenses associated with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement by litigation or otherwise because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be extended to the Indemnitee hereunder. The Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance to Indemnitee such Expenses which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action concerning this Agreement, Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company, or concerning any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, and will indemnify Indemnitee against any and all such Expenses unless the court determines that each of the Indemnitee’s claims in such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous or are prohibited by law.

Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s Corporate Status occurring prior to any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Bylaws, Certificate of Incorporation, or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy is cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

(b)    The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more other Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated. The relationship between the Company and such other Persons, other than an Enterprise, with respect to the Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification, advancement of Expenses, and insurance is described by this subsection, subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 16 with respect to a Proceeding concerning Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with an Enterprise.

i.    The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees:

1)    the Company is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to any request for indemnification or advancement of Expenses made pursuant to this Agreement concerning any Proceeding;

2)     the Company is primarily liable for all indemnification and indemnification or advancement of Expenses obligations for any Proceeding, whether created by law, organizational or constituent documents, contract (including this Agreement) or otherwise;

3)    any obligation of any other Persons with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated to indemnify Indemnitee and/or advance Expenses to Indemnitee in respect of any proceeding are secondary to the obligations of the Company’s obligations;

4)    the Company will indemnify Indemnitee and advance Expenses to Indemnitee hereunder to the fullest extent provided herein without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or insurer of any such Person; and

ii.    the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases (A) any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated from any claim of contribution, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, or any other recovery of any kind in respect of amounts paid by the Company to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement and (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against any Person whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.

 

-12-


iii.    In the event any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers advances or extinguishes any liability or loss for Indemnitee, the payor has a right of subrogation against the Company or its insurers for all amounts so paid which would otherwise be payable by the Company or its insurers under this Agreement. In no event will payment by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated or their insurers affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or shift primary liability for the Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance of Expenses to any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated.

iv.    Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses provided by any other Person with whom or which Indemnitee may be associated is specifically in excess over the Company’s obligation to indemnify and advance Expenses or any valid and collectible insurance (including but not limited to any malpractice insurance or professional errors and omissions insurance) provided by the Company.

(c)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company, the Company will obtain a policy or policies covering Indemnitee to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies, including coverage in the event the Company does not or cannot, for any reason, indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee as required by this Agreement. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company will give prompt notice of such claim or of the commencement of a Proceeding, as the case may be, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company will thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. Indemnitee agrees to assist the Company efforts to cause the insurers to pay such amounts and will comply with the terms of such policies, including selection of approved panel counsel, if required.

(d)    The Company’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee for any Proceeding concerning Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with an Enterprise will be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such Enterprise. The Company and Indemnitee intend that any such Enterprise (and its insurers) be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to indemnification and advancement of Expenses for any Proceeding related to or arising from Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with such Enterprise. The Company’s obligation to indemnify and advance Expenses to Indemnitee is secondary to the obligations the Enterprise or its insurers owe to Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to take all reasonably necessary and desirable action to obtain from an Enterprise indemnification and advancement of Expenses for any Proceeding related to or arising from Indemnitee’s Corporate Status with such Enterprise.

 

-13-


(e)    In the event of any payment made by the Company under this Agreement, the Company will be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee from any Enterprise or insurance carrier. Indemnitee will execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 16.    Duration of Agreement. This Agreement continues until and terminates upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee ceases to have a Corporate Status or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement relating thereto. The indemnification and advancement of Expenses rights provided by or granted pursuant to this Agreement are binding upon and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of any other Enterprise, and inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and administrators and other legal representatives.

Section 17.    Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions will be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

Section 18.    Interpretation. Any ambiguity in the terms of this Agreement will be resolved in favor of Indemnitee and in a manner to provide the maximum indemnification and advancement of Expenses permitted by law.

Section 20.    Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement is binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed or constitutes a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor will any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder.

For purposes of this definition, no act or failure to act shall be considered willful unless it is done in bad faith and without reasonable intent that the act or failure to act was in the best interest of the Company or required by law. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority or instructions given to the Participant pursuant to a direct instruction from the Company’s chief executive officer or based on the advice of counsel for the Company will be conclusively presumed to be done or omitted to be done by the Participant in good faith and in the best interest of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control constitutes a payment event with respect to any Award (or any portion of an Award) that provides for the deferral of compensation that is subject to Section 409A, to the extent required to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section 409A, the transaction or event described in subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this definition with respect to such Award (or portion thereof) shall only constitute a Change in Control for purposes of the payment timing of such Award if such transaction also constitutes a “change in control event,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5).

The Administrator shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its sole discretion, to determine conclusively whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to the above definition, the date of such Change in Control and any incidental matters relating thereto; provided that any exercise of authority in conjunction with a determination of whether a Change in Control is a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) shall be consistent with such regulation.

(b) As to a Non-Employee Director, the time when a Participant who is a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a Director for any reason, including, without limitation, a termination by resignation, failure to be elected, death or retirement, but excluding terminations where the Participant simultaneously commences employment or service or remains in service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c) As to an Employee, the time when the employee-employer relationship between a Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, including, without limitation, a termination by resignation, discharge, death, disability or retirement; but excluding terminations where the Participant simultaneously commences or remains in employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

The Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to any Termination of Service, including, without limitation, whether a Termination of Service has occurred, whether a Termination of Service resulted from a discharge for Cause and all questions of whether particular leaves of absence constitute a Termination of Service. For purposes of the Plan, a Participant’s employee-employer relationship or consultancy relationship shall be deemed to be terminated in the event that the Subsidiary employing or contracting with such Participant ceases to remain a Subsidiary following any merger, sale of stock or other corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a spin-off), even though the Participant may subsequently continue to perform services for that entity.

ARTICLE III.

ELIGIBILITY

Service Providers are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan, subject to the limitations described herein. No Service Provider shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to the Plan and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Service Providers, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND DELEGATION

4.1 Administration.

(a) The Plan is administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has authority to determine which Service Providers receive Awards, grant Awards and set Award terms and conditions, subject to the conditions and limitations in the Plan. The Administrator also has the authority to take all actions and make all determinations under the Plan, to interpret the Plan and Award Agreements and to adopt, amend and repeal Plan administrative rules, guidelines and practices as it deems advisable. The Administrator may correct defects and ambiguities, supply omissions, reconcile inconsistencies in the Plan or any Award and make all other determinations that it deems necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and any Awards. The Administrator (and each member thereof) is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to it, him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. The Administrator’s determinations under the Plan are in its sole discretion and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or any Award.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator has the exclusive power, authority and sole discretion to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant; (iii) determine the number of Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate; (iv) subject to the limitations in the Plan, determine the terms and conditions of any Award and related Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, purchase price, any performance criteria, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule for vesting, lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations, waivers or amendments thereof; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in cash, Shares, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; and (vi) make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.

4.2 Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board or any Committee may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more Committees or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Directors to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation or that are otherwise included in the applicable organizational documents, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 4.2 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board or the Committee, as applicable, and the Board or the Committee may abolish any committee at any time and re-vest in itself any previously delegated authority. Further, regardless of any delegation, the Board or a Committee may, in

 

F-7


its discretion, exercise any and all rights and duties as the Administrator under the Plan delegated thereby, except with respect to Awards that are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee under the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded.

ARTICLE V.

STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

5.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment under Article IX and the terms of this Article V, Awards may be made under the Plan covering up to the Overall Share Limit. As of the Effective Date, the Company will cease granting awards under the Prior Plan; however, Prior Plan Awards will remain subject to the terms of the Prior Plan. Shares issued or delivered under the Plan may consist of authorized but unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or treasury Shares.

5.2 Share Recycling.

(a) If all or any part of an Award or Prior Plan Award expires, lapses or is terminated, exchanged for or settled in cash, surrendered, repurchased, canceled without having been fully exercised or forfeited, in any case, in a manner that results in the Company acquiring Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award at a price not greater than the price (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) paid by the Participant for such Shares or not issuing any Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award, the unused Shares covered by the Award or Prior Plan Award will, as applicable, become or again be available for Awards under the Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards or Prior Plan Awards shall not count against the Overall Share Limit.

(b) In addition, Shares tendered by the Participant or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Award or any Prior Plan Award shall be available for future grants of Awards. Shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right on exercise thereof and Shares tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company in payment of the exercise price of an Option or any stock option granted under the Prior Plan shall not be available for future grants of Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2(b), no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option if such action would cause such Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

5.3 Incentive Stock Option Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no more than 415,845,648 Shares (as adjusted to reflect any Equity Restructuring) may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options.

5.4 Substitute Awards. In connection with an entity’s merger or consolidation with the Company or any Subsidiary or the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s acquisition of an entity’s property or stock, the Administrator may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted before such merger or consolidation by such entity or its affiliate. Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan. Substitute Awards will not count against the Overall Share Limit (nor shall Shares subject to a Substitute Award be added to the Shares available for Awards under the Plan as provided above), except that Shares acquired by exercise of substitute Incentive Stock Options will count against the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or with which the Company or any Subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such

acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the

 

F-8


Shares authorized for grant under the Plan (and Shares subject to such Awards may again become available for Awards under the Plan as provided under Section 5.2 above); provided that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not Employees, Directors or Consultants prior to such acquisition or combination.

5.5 Non-Employee Director Award Limit. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or in any policy of the Company regarding non-employee director compensation, the sum of the grant date fair value (determined as of the grant date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto) of all equity-based Awards and the maximum amount that may become payable pursuant to all cash-based Awards that may be granted to a Service Provider as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director during any calendar year shall not exceed $1,500,000.

ARTICLE VI.

STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

6.1 General. The Administrator may grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to one or more Service Providers, subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine. The Administrator will determine the number of Shares covered by each Option and Stock Appreciation Right, the exercise price of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the Participant (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right) to receive from the Company upon exercise of the exercisable portion of the Stock Appreciation Right an amount determined by multiplying the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price per Share of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, subject to any limitations of the Plan or that the Administrator may impose and payable in cash, Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or a combination of the two as the Administrator may determine or provide in the Award Agreement.

6.2 Exercise Price. The Administrator will establish each Option’s and Stock Appreciation Right’s exercise price and specify the exercise price in the Award Agreement. Subject to Section 6.6, the exercise price will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is a Substitute Award, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant; provided that the exercise price of any Substitute Award shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Sections 424 and 409A of the Code.

6.3 Duration of Options. Subject to Section 6.6, each Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable at such times and as specified in the Award Agreement, provided that the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will not exceed ten years; provided, further, that, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator or specified in the Award Agreement, (a) no portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right which is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable and (b) the portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is unexercisable at a Participant’s Termination of Service shall automatically expire on the date of such Termination of Service. In addition, in no event shall an Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of overtime pay under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 be exercisable earlier than six months after its date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant, prior to the end of the term of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, commits an act of Cause (as determined by the Administrator), or violates any non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality provisions of any employment contract, confidentiality and nondisclosure

 

F-9


agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, may be terminated by the Company and the Company may suspend the Participant’s right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right when it reasonably believes that the Participant may have participated in any such act or violation.

6.4 Exercise. Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivering to the Company (or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator) a notice of exercise, in a form and manner the Company approves (which may be written, electronic or telephonic and may contain representations and warranties deemed advisable by the Administrator), signed or authenticated by the person authorized to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, together with, as applicable, (a) payment in full of the exercise price for the number of Shares for which the Option is exercised in a manner specified in Section 6.5 and (b) satisfaction in full of any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items in a manner specified in Section 10.5. The Administrator may, in its discretion, limit exercise with respect to fractional Shares and require that any partial exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be with respect to a minimum number of Shares.

6.5 Payment Upon Exercise. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payment of the exercise price of an Option shall be made, including, without limitation:

(a) Cash, check or wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that the Company may limit the use of one of the foregoing methods if one or more of the methods below is permitted;

(b) If there is a public market for Shares at the time of exercise, unless the Company otherwise determines, (A) delivery (including electronically or telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker acceptable to the Company with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Option and that the broker has been directed to deliver promptly to the Company funds sufficient to pay the exercise price, or (B) the Participant’s delivery to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a broker acceptable to the Company to deliver promptly to the Company an amount sufficient to pay the exercise price by cash, wire transfer of immediately available funds or check; provided that such amount is paid to the Company at such time as may be required by the Company;

(c) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of Shares owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery;

(d) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, surrendering Shares then issuable upon the Option’s exercise valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(e) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration; or

(f) To the extent permitted by the Administrator, any combination of the above payment forms.

6.6 Additional Terms of Incentive Stock Options. The Administrator may grant Incentive Stock Options only to employees of the Company, any of its present or future parent or subsidiary corporations, as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, respectively, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code. If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the Option’s grant date, and the term of the Option will not exceed five years. All Incentive Stock Options (and Award Agreements related thereto) will be subject to and construed consistently with Section 422 of the Code. By accepting an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant agrees to give prompt notice to the Company of dispositions or other transfers (other than in connection with a Change in Control) of Shares acquired under the Option made within (a) two years from the grant date of the Option or (b) one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant,

 

F-10


specifying the date of the disposition or other transfer and the amount the Participant realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, in such disposition or other transfer. Neither the Company nor the Administrator will be liable to a Participant, or any other party, if an Incentive Stock Option fails or ceases to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option or portion thereof that fails to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code for any reason, including becoming exercisable with respect to Shares having a fair market value exceeding the $100,000 limitation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-4, will be a Nonqualified Stock Option.

ARTICLE VII.

RESTRICTED STOCK; RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

7.1 General. The Administrator may grant Restricted Stock, or the right to purchase Restricted Stock, to any Service Provider, subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price from the Participant if conditions the Administrator specifies in the Award Agreement are not satisfied before the end of the applicable restriction period or periods that the Administrator establishes for such Award. In addition, the Administrator may grant Restricted Stock Units, which may be subject to vesting and forfeiture conditions during the applicable restriction period or periods, as set forth in an Award Agreement, to Service Providers. The Administrator shall establish the purchase price, if any, and form of payment for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that if a purchase price is charged, such purchase price shall be no less than the par value, if any, of the Shares to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law. In all cases, legal consideration shall be required for each issuance of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to the extent required by Applicable Law. The Award Agreement for each Award of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall set forth the terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.

7.2 Restricted Stock.

(a) Stockholder Rights. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Participant holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, subject to the restrictions in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares to the extent such dividends and other distributions have a record date that is on or after the date on which such Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares; provided, however, that with respect to a share of Restricted Stock subject to restrictions or vesting conditions, except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Section 9.2, dividends which are paid to Company stockholders prior to the removal of restrictions and satisfaction of vesting conditions shall only be paid to the Participant to the extent that the restrictions are subsequently removed and the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.

(b) Stock Certificates. The Company may require that the Participant deposit in escrow with the Company (or its designee) any stock certificates issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock, together with a stock power endorsed in blank.

(c) Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which such Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service along with proof of the timely filing thereof.

7.3 Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator may provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units will occur upon or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Stock Units vest or will instead be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the Participant’s election, subject to compliance with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE VIII.

OTHER TYPES OF AWARDS

8.1 General. The Administrator may grant Performance Stock Unit awards, Performance Bonus Awards, Dividend Equivalents or Other Stock or Cash Based Awards, to one or more Service Providers, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.

8.2 Performance Stock Unit Awards. Each Performance Stock Unit award shall be denominated in a number of Shares or in unit equivalents of Shares or units of value (including a dollar value of Shares) and may be linked to any one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator may consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Participant.

8.3 Performance Bonus Awards. Each right to receive a bonus granted under this Section 8.3 shall be denominated in the form of cash (but may be payable in cash, stock or a combination thereof) (a “Performance Bonus Award”) and shall be payable upon the attainment of performance goals that are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of performance or other specific criteria, including service to the Company or Subsidiaries, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.

8.4 Dividend Equivalents. If the Administrator provides, an Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) may provide a Participant with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents. Dividend Equivalents may be paid currently or credited to an account for the Participant, settled in cash or Shares and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Award with respect to which the Dividend Equivalents are granted and subject to other terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award subject to vesting shall either (i) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related Award. All such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid at such time as the Administrator shall specify in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.5 Other Stock or Cash Based Awards. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be granted to Participants, including Awards entitling Participants to receive cash or Shares to be delivered in the future and annual or other periodic or long-term cash bonus awards (whether based on specified performance criteria or otherwise), in each case subject to any conditions and limitations in the Plan. Such Other Stock or Cash Based Awards will also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other Awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock or Cash Based Awards may be paid in Shares, cash or other property, as the Administrator determines. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator will determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock or Cash Based Award, including any purchase price, performance goal(s), transfer restrictions, and vesting conditions, which will be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. Except in connection with a spin-off or other similar event as otherwise permitted under Article IX, dividends that are paid prior to vesting of any Other Stock or Cash Based Award shall only be paid to the applicable Participant to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Other Stock or Cash Based Award vests.

ARTICLE IX.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK

AND CERTAIN OTHER EVENTS

9.1 Equity Restructuring. In connection with any Equity Restructuring, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the Administrator will equitably adjust the terms of the Plan and each outstanding Award as it deems appropriate to reflect the Equity Restructuring, which may include (i) adjusting the number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article V hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares that may be issued); (ii) adjusting the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the performance goals or other criteria included in, outstanding Awards; and (iii) granting new Awards or making cash payments to Participants. The adjustments provided under this Section 9.1 will be nondiscretionary and final and binding on all interested parties, including the affected Participant and the Company; provided that the Administrator will determine whether an adjustment is equitable.

9.2 Corporate Transactions. In the event of any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin off, combination, amalgamation, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, Change in Control, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, other similar corporate transaction or event, other unusual or nonrecurring transaction or event affecting the Company or its financial statements or any change in any Applicable Law or accounting principles, the Administrator, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event (except that action to give effect to a change in Applicable Law or accounting principles may be made within a reasonable period of time after such change), is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to (x) prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan, (y) to facilitate such transaction or event or (z) give effect to such changes in Applicable Law or accounting principles:

(a) To provide for the cancellation of any such Award in exchange for either an amount of cash or other property with a value equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights under the vested portion of such Award, as applicable; provided that, if the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, in any case, is equal to or less than zero, then the Award may be terminated without payment;

(b) To provide that such Award shall vest and, to the extent applicable, be exercisable as to all Shares (or other property) covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

(c) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation or entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and applicable exercise or purchase price, in all cases, as determined by the Administrator;

(d) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Article V hereof on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued) or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards;

 

F-13


(e) To replace such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; or

(f) To provide that the Award will terminate and cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after the applicable event.

9.3 Change in Control.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, unless the Administrator elects to (i) terminate an Award in exchange for cash, rights or property, or (ii) cause an Award to become fully exercisable and no longer subject to any forfeiture restrictions prior to the consummation of a Change in Control, pursuant to Section 9.2, (A) such Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting) shall continue in effect or be assumed or an equivalent Award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation and (B) the portion of such Award subject to performance-based vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement and, in the absence of applicable terms and conditions, the Administrator’s discretion.

(b) In the event that the successor corporation in a Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for an Award (other than any portion subject to performance-based vesting), the Administrator shall cause such Award to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and all forfeiture restrictions on such Award to lapse and, to the extent unexercised upon the consummation of such transaction, to terminate in exchange for cash, rights or other property. The Administrator shall notify the Participant of any Award that becomes exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence that such Award shall be fully exercisable for a period of 15 days from the date of such notice, contingent upon the consummation of the Change in Control, and such Award shall terminate upon the consummation of the Change in Control in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 9.3, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to an Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Participant experiences a Termination of Service during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following the closing of a Change in Control that is effected by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason, then the Award(s) held by such Participant shall become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Award(s) shall lapse as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control or, if later, the date of such Termination of Service.

9.4 Administrative Stand Still. In the event of any pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other extraordinary transaction or change affecting the Shares or the share price of Common Stock (including any Equity Restructuring or any securities offering or other similar transaction) or for reasons of administrative convenience or to facilitate compliance with any Applicable Law, the Company may refuse to permit the exercise or settlement of one or more Awards for such period of time as the Administrator may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

 

F-14


9.5 General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no Participant will have any rights due to any subdivision or consolidation of Shares of any class, dividend payment, increase or decrease in the number of Shares of any class or dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or other corporation. Except as expressly provided with respect to an Equity Restructuring under Section 9.1 above or the Administrator’s action under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, will affect, and no adjustment will be made regarding, the number of Shares subject to an Award or the Award’s grant or exercise price. The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder will not affect or restrict in any way the Company’s right or power to make or authorize (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, (ii) any merger, consolidation, spinoff, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or sale of Company assets or (iii) any sale or issuance of securities, including securities with rights superior to those of the Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares.

ARTICLE X.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

10.1 Transferability.

(a) No Award may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the Administrator’s consent, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. During the life of a Participant, Awards will be exercisable only by the Participant, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of a Participant, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-Applicable Law of descent and distribution. References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, will include references to a transferee approved by the Administrator.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant or a Permitted Transferee of such Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option (unless such Incentive Stock Option is intended to become a Nonqualified Stock Option) to any one or more Permitted Transferees of such Participant, subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than (A) to another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant or (B) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a domestic relations order; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award to any Person other than another Permitted Transferee of the applicable Participant); (iii) the Participant (or transferring Permitted Transferee) and the receiving Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under Applicable Law and (C) evidence the transfer; and (iv) any transfer of an Award to a Permitted Transferee shall be without consideration, except as required by Applicable Law. In addition, and further notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant to transfer Incentive Stock Options to a trust that constitutes a Permitted Transferee if, under Section 671 of the Code and other Applicable Law, the Participant is considered the sole beneficial owner of the Incentive Stock Option while it is held in the trust.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), if permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a Designated Beneficiary. A Designated Beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and

 

F-15


conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant and any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written or electronic consent of the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time; provided that the change or revocation is delivered in writing to the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.

10.2 Documentation. Each Award will be evidenced in an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator determines in its discretion. Each Award may contain such terms and conditions as are determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with those set forth in the Plan.

10.3 Discretion. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Administrator need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

10.4 Changes in Participant’s Status. The Administrator will determine how the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or any other change or purported change in a Participant’s Service Provider status affects an Award and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary may exercise rights under the Award, if applicable. Except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law or expressly authorized by the Company or by the Company’s written policy on leaves of absence, no service credit shall be given for vesting purposes for any period the Participant is on a leave of absence.

10.5 Withholding. Each Participant must pay the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any Tax-Related Items required by Applicable Law to be withheld in connection with such Participant’s Awards and/or Shares by the date of the event creating the liability for Tax-Related Items. At the Company’s discretion and subject to any Company insider trading policy (including black-out periods), any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items may be satisfied by (i) deducting an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant; (ii) accepting a payment from the Participant in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or by check made payable to the order of the Company or a Subsidiary, as applicable; (iii) accepting the delivery of Shares, including Shares delivered by attestation; (iv) retaining Shares from the Award creating the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, valued on the date of delivery, (v) if there is a public market for Shares at the time the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied, selling Shares issued pursuant to the Award creating the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, either voluntarily by the Participant or mandatorily by the Company; (vi) accepting delivery of a promissory note or any other lawful consideration; or (vii) any combination of the foregoing payment forms. The amount withheld pursuant to any of the foregoing payment forms shall be determined by the Company and may be up to, but no greater than, the aggregate amount of such obligations based on the maximum statutory withholding rates in the applicable Participant’s jurisdiction for all Tax-Related Items that are applicable to such taxable income. If any tax withholding obligation will be satisfied under clause (v) of the preceding paragraph, each Participant’s acceptance of an Award under the Plan will constitute the Participant’s authorization to the Company and instruction and authorization to any brokerage firm selected by the Company to effect the sale to complete the transactions described in clause (v).

10.6 Amendment of Award; Repricing. The Administrator may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including by substituting another Award of the same or a different type, changing the exercise or settlement date, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonqualified Stock Option. The Participant’s consent to such action will be required unless (i) the action, taking into account any related action, does not materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights under the Award, or (ii) the change is permitted under Article IX or pursuant to Section 11.6. In addition, the Administrator shall, without the approval of the

 

F-16


stockholders of the Company, have the authority to (a) amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its exercise price per Share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award.

10.7 Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Shares under the Plan or remove restrictions from Shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all Award conditions have been met or removed to the Company’s satisfaction, (ii) as determined by the Company, all other legal matters regarding the issuance and delivery of such Shares have been satisfied, including, without limitation, any applicable securities laws and stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, (iii) any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable have been obtained, and (iv) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator deems necessary or appropriate to satisfy Applicable Law. The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained, and shall constitute circumstances in which the Administrator may determine to amend or cancel Awards pertaining to such Shares, with or without consideration to the Participant.

10.8 Acceleration. The Administrator may at any time provide that any Award will become immediately vested and fully or partially exercisable, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise fully or partially realizable.

ARTICLE XI.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 No Right to Employment or Other Status. No person will have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continue employment or any other relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company and its Subsidiaries expressly reserve the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan or any Award, except as expressly provided in an Award Agreement or other written agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

11.2 No Rights as Stockholder; Certificates. Subject to the Award Agreement, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary will have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under an Award until becoming the record holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless the Administrator otherwise determines or Applicable Law requires, the Company will not be required to deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing Shares issued in connection with any Award and instead such Shares may be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator). The Company may place legends on any share certificate or book entry to reference restrictions applicable to the Shares (including, without limitation, restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock).

11.3 Effective Date. The Plan was approved by the Board on February 23, 2021. The Plan will become effective (the “Effective Date”) on the date immediately prior to the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on February 23, 2021, by and among the Company, Reinvent Technology Partners and certain other parties (the “Merger Agreement”), provided that it is approved by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Effective Date and such approval occurs within 12 months following the date the Board approved the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders within the foregoing time frame, or if the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Plan will not become effective. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the tenth anniversary of the earlier of (i) the date the Plan was approved by the Board and (ii) the date the Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders.

 

F-17


11.4 Amendment of Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided that (a) no amendment requiring stockholder approval to comply with Applicable Law shall be effective unless approved by the Board, and (b) no amendment, other than an increase to the Overall Share Limit or pursuant to Article IX or Section 11.6, may materially and adversely affect any Award outstanding at the time of such amendment without the affected Participant’s consent. No Awards may be granted under the Plan during any suspension period or after Plan termination. Awards outstanding at the time of any Plan suspension or termination will continue to be governed by the Plan and the Award Agreement, as in effect before such suspension or termination. The Board will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law.

11.5 Provisions for Foreign Participants. The Administrator may modify Awards granted to Participants who are nationals of a country other than the United States or employed or residing outside the United States, establish subplans or procedures under the Plan or take any other necessary or appropriate action to address Applicable Law, including (a) differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters, (b) listing and other requirements of any non-U.S. securities exchange, and (c) any necessary local governmental or regulatory exemptions or approvals.

11.6 Section 409A.

(a) General. The Company intends that all Awards be structured to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A, such that no adverse tax consequences, interest, or penalties under Section 409A apply. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may, without a Participant’s consent, amend this Plan or Awards, adopt policies and procedures, or take any other actions (including amendments, policies, procedures and retroactive actions) as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of Awards, including any such actions intended to (A) exempt this Plan or any Award from Section 409A, or (B) comply with Section 409A, including regulations, guidance, compliance programs and other interpretative authority that may be issued after an Award’s grant date. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to an Award’s tax treatment under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company will have no obligation under this Section 11.6 or otherwise to avoid the taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and will have no liability to any Participant or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute noncompliant “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A.

(b) Separation from Service. If an Award constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any payment or settlement of such Award upon a Participant’s Termination of Service will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A, be made only upon the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), whether such “separation from service” occurs upon or after the Participant’s Termination of Service. For purposes of this Plan or any Award Agreement relating to any such payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms means a “separation from service.”

(c) Payments to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, any payment(s) of “nonqualified deferred compensation” required to be made under an Award to a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A and as the Administrator determines) due to his or her “separation from service” will, to the extent necessary to avoid taxes under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, be delayed for the six-month period immediately following such “separation from service” (or, if earlier, until the specified employee’s death) and will instead be paid (as set forth in the Award Agreement) on the day immediately following such six-month period or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter (without interest). Any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” under such Award payable more than six months following the Participant’s “separation from service” will be paid at the time or times the payments are otherwise scheduled to be made.

 

F-18


11.7 Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as a director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary will be liable to any Participant, former Participant, spouse, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability, or expense incurred in connection with the Plan or any Award, and such individual will not be personally liable with respect to the Plan because of any contract or other instrument executed in his or her capacity as an Administrator, director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each director, officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary that has been or will be granted or delegated any duty or power relating to the Plan’s administration or interpretation, against any cost or expense (including attorneys’ fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the Administrator’s approval) arising from any act or omission concerning this Plan unless arising from such person’s own fraud or bad faith; provided that he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.

11.8 Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 11.8 by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Shares held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding such Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding such Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 11.8 in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 11.8. For more information on the consequences of refusing or withdrawing consent, Participants may contact their local human resources representative.

11.9 Severability. If any portion of the Plan or any action taken under it is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provisions had been excluded, and the illegal or invalid action will be null and void.

11.10 Governing Documents. If any contradiction occurs between the Plan and any Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company (or any Subsidiary), the Plan will govern, unless such Award Agreement or other written agreement was approved by the Administrator and expressly provides that a specific provision of the Plan will not apply.

11.11 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law rules thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

 

F-19


11.12 Clawback Provisions. All Awards (including the gross amount of any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant actually or constructively receives upon receipt or exercise of any Award or the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) will be subject to recoupment by the Company to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law or any policy of the Company providing for the reimbursement of incentive compensation, whether or not such policy was in place at the time of grant of an Award.

11.13 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, if any conflict, the Plan’s text, rather than such titles or headings, will control.

11.14 Conformity to Applicable Law. Participant acknowledges that the Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and all Awards will be administered only in a manner intended to conform with Applicable Law. To the extent Applicable Law permits, the Plan and all Award Agreements will be deemed amended as necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

11.15 Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary, except as expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

11.16 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

11.17 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and any amendments thereto) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

11.18 Prohibition on Executive Officer Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant who is a Director or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act shall be permitted to make payment with respect to any Awards granted under the Plan, or continue any extension of credit with respect to such payment, with a loan from the Company or a loan arranged by the Company in violation of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

11.19 Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Shares in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards, including amounts to be paid under the final sentence of Section 10.5: (a) any Shares to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) such Shares may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all Participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of such sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay such excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price; and (f) in the event the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

Pursuant to the Stock Option Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Joby Aviation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant an Option under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”), to purchase the number of Shares indicated in the Grant Notice.

ARTICLE 2.

GRANT OF OPTION

2.1 Grant of Option. In consideration of the Participant’s past or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company irrevocably grants to the Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the number of Shares set forth in the Grant Notice, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, subject to adjustments as provided in Article IX of the Plan. Unless designated as a Nonqualified Stock Option in the Grant Notice, the Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option to the maximum extent permitted by law.

2.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice, without commission or other charge; provided, however, that the price per share of the Shares subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant is a Greater Than 10% Stockholder as of the Grant Date, the exercise price per share of the Shares subject to the Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

2.3 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant.

 

F-22


ARTICLE 3.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

3.1 Commencement of Exercisability.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and 5.17 hereof, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

(b) No portion of the Option which has not become vested and exercisable at the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.1(a) hereof and the Grant Notice, but subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof, in the event of a Change in Control the Option shall be treated pursuant to Sections 9.2 and 9.3 of the Plan.

3.2 Duration of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are cumulative. Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof.

3.3 Expiration of Option. The Option may not be exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) The Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice, which shall in no event be more than ten years from the Grant Date;

(b) If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant, at the time the Option was granted, was a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, the expiration of five years from the Grant Date;

(c) The expiration of three months from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service, unless such termination occurs by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability;

(d) The expiration of one year from the date of the Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability; or

(e) The Participant’s Termination of Service for Cause.

3.4 Special Tax Consequences. The Participant acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option (if applicable), are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall be Nonqualified Stock Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code. The Participant further acknowledges that the rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Participant also acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more than three months after the Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

F-23


3.5 Tax Indemnity.

(a) The Participant agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company, any Subsidiary and the Participant’s employing company, if different, from and against any liability for or obligation to pay any Tax Liability (a “Tax Liability” being any liability for income tax, withholding tax and any other employment related taxes or social security contributions in any jurisdiction) that is attributable to (1) the grant or exercise of, or any benefit derived by the Participant from, the Option, (2) the acquisition by the Participant of the Shares on exercise of the Option or (3) the disposal of any Shares.

(b) The Option cannot be exercised until the Participant has made such arrangements as the Company may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the Option or the acquisition of the Shares by the Participant. The Company shall not be required to issue, allot or transfer Shares until the Participant has satisfied this obligation.

(c) The Participant hereby acknowledges that the Company (i) makes no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax Liabilities in connection with any aspect of the Option and (ii) does not commit to and is under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of any Award, including the Option, to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax Liabilities or achieve any particular tax result. Furthermore, if the Participant becomes subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the date of grant of an Award, including the Option, and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax Liabilities in more than one jurisdiction.

ARTICLE 4.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

4.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 5.3 hereof, during the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise the Option or any portion thereof, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO. After the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof, be exercised by the deceased Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

4.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof. However, the Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional Shares.

4.3 Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company (or any third party administrator or other person or entity designated by the Company; for the avoidance of doubt, delivery shall include electronic delivery), during regular business hours, of all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3 hereof:

(a) An exercise notice in a form specified by the Administrator, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Administrator. The notice shall be signed by the Participant or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

 

F-24


(b) The receipt by the Company of full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which shall be made by deduction from other compensation payable to the Participant or in such other form of consideration permitted under Section 4.4 hereof that is acceptable to the Company;

(c) Any other written representations or documents as may be required in the Administrator’s sole discretion to evidence compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other applicable law, rule or regulation; and

The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Article IX of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

OTHER PROVISIONS

5.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons.

5.2 Whole Shares. The Option may only be exercised for whole Shares.

5.3 Transferability.

(a) Subject to Section 4.1 hereof, the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until the Option has been exercised and the Shares underlying the Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such Shares have lapsed. Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy) unless and until the Option has been exercised, and any attempted disposition thereof prior to exercise shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

(b) During the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise the Option (or any portion thereof), unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or this Agreement, be exercised by the Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then-applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to the Option upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, except to the extent the Plan and this Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. If the Participant is married or a domestic partner in a domestic partnership qualified under Applicable Law and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Option shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse or domestic partner. If no beneficiary has been designated or

 

F-26


survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by the Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Administrator prior to the Participant’s death.

5.4 Tax Consultation. The Participant understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, or with the purchase or disposition of the Shares subject to the Option. The Participant represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants the Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of such Shares and that the Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

5.5 Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of the Option contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

5.6 Adjustments Upon Specified Events. The Administrator may accelerate the vesting of the Option in such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, may determine. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Shares contemplated by Article IX of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Shares), the Administrator shall make such adjustments the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise price of the Option and the kind of securities that may be issued upon exercise of the Option.

By a notice given pursuant to this Section 5.7, either party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any notice which is required to be given to the Participant shall, if the Participant is then deceased, be given to the person entitled to exercise his or her Option pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof by written notice under this Section 5.7. Any notice shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and deposited (with postage prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service.

5.8 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

5.9 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity, administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

5.10 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and any and all Applicable Law and regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such Applicable Law.

5.11 Amendment, Suspension and Termination. To the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board; provided, however, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment, modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely affect the Option in any material way without the prior written consent of the Participant.

 

F-27


5.12 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth in Section 5.3 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

5.13 Notification of Disposition. If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option, the Participant shall give prompt notice to the Company of any disposition or other transfer of any Shares acquired under this Agreement if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two years from the Grant Date with respect to such Shares or (b) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant. Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

5.14 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if the Participant is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

5.15 Not a Contract of Service Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to serve as an employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or interfere with or restrict in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or to terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the services of the Participant’s at any time.

5.16 Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Grant Notice and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided that the Option shall be subject to any accelerated vesting provisions in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or a Company plan pursuant to which the Participant participates, in each case, in accordance with the terms therein.

5.17 Section 409A. This Option is not intended to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (together with any Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof, “Section 409A”). However, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, if at any time the Administrator determines that the Option (or any portion thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Administrator shall have the right in its sole discretion (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Participant or any other person for failure to do so) to adopt such amendments to the Plan, the Grant Notice or this Agreement, or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate either for the Option to be exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

5.18 Limitation on the Participant’s Rights. Participation in the Plan confers no rights or interests other than as herein provided. This Agreement creates only a contractual obligation on the part of the Company as to amounts payable and shall not be construed as creating a trust. Neither the Plan nor any underlying program, in and of itself, has any assets. The Participant shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to amounts credited and benefits payable, if any, with respect to the Option, and rights no greater than the right to receive the Shares as a general unsecured creditor with respect to options, as and when exercised pursuant to the terms hereof.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Award Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) is attached, Joby Aviation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant the number of restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units or RSUs”) set forth in the Grant Notice under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Award Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (a “Share”) upon vesting.

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant Notice.

1.2 Incorporation of Terms of Plan. The RSUs are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control.

ARTICLE II.

GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

2.1 Grant of RSUs. Pursuant to the Grant Notice and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, effective as of the Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice, the Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of RSUs under the Plan in consideration of the Participant’s past or continued employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiaries and for other good and valuable consideration.

2.2 Unsecured Obligation to RSUs. Unless and until the RSUs have vested in the manner set forth in Article 2 hereof, the Participant will have no right to receive Common Stock under any such RSUs. Prior to actual payment of any vested RSUs, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of the Company.

2.3 Vesting Schedule. Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, the RSUs shall vest and become nonforfeitable with respect to the applicable portion thereof according to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (rounding down to the nearest whole Share).

2.4 Consideration to the Company. In consideration of the grant of the award of RSUs pursuant hereto, the Participant agrees to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary.

2.5 Forfeiture, Termination and Cancellation upon Termination of Service. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Plan, upon the Participant’s Termination of Service for any or no reason, all Restricted Stock Units which have not vested prior to or in connection with such Termination of Service shall thereupon automatically be forfeited, terminated and cancelled as of the applicable termination date without payment of any consideration by the Company, and the Participant, or the Participant’s beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be, shall have no further rights hereunder. No portion of the RSUs which has not

become vested as of the date on which the Participant incurs a Termination of Service shall thereafter become vested, except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant.

2.6 Issuance of Common Stock upon Vesting.

(a) As soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, but in no event later than 30 days after such vesting date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to comply with the “short term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code), the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or any transferee permitted under Section 3.2 hereof) a number of Shares equal to the number of RSUs subject to this Award that vest on the applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Shares cannot be issued pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Plan, the Shares shall be issued pursuant to the preceding sentence as soon as administratively practicable after the Administrator determines that Shares can again be issued in accordance with such Section.

(b) As set forth in Section 10.5 of the Plan, the Company shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all applicable federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Shares to the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative unless and until the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative shall have paid or otherwise satisfied in full the amount of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the taxable income of the Participant resulting from the grant or vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or the issuance of Shares.

2.7 Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Shares deliverable hereunder may be either previously authorized but unissued Shares, treasury Shares or issued Shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares deliverable hereunder prior to fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 10.7 of the Plan.

2.8 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the RSUs shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect of the RSUs and any Shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable hereunder unless and until such Shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Article IX of the Plan.

ARTICLE III.

OTHER PROVISIONS

3.1 Administration. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.

2021 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

ARTICLE 1

PURPOSE

The Plan’s purpose is to assist employees of the Company and its Designated Subsidiaries in acquiring a stock ownership interest in the Company, and to help such employees provide for their future security and to encourage them to remain in the employment of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

The Plan consists of two components: the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code and shall be administered, interpreted and construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes the grant of Options under the Non-Section 423 Component, which need not qualify as Options granted pursuant to an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code; such Options granted under the Non-Section 423 Component shall be granted pursuant to separate Offerings containing such sub-plans, appendices, rules or procedures as may be adopted by the Administrator and designed to achieve tax, securities laws or other objectives for Eligible Employees and the Designated Subsidiaries in locations outside of the United States. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Non-Section 423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the Section 423 Component. Offerings intended to be made under the Non-Section 423 Component will be designated as such by the Administrator at or prior to the time of such Offering.

For purposes of this Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan, the terms of which need not be identical, in which Eligible Employees will participate, even if the dates of the applicable Offering Period(s) in each such Offering is identical, provided that the terms of participation are the same within each separate Offering under the Section 423 Component as determined under Section 423 of the Code. Solely by way of example and without limiting the foregoing, the Company could, but shall not be required to, provide for simultaneous Offerings under the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component of the Plan.

(a) Any Eligible Employee who is employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and, for the Section 423 Component, the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.

(b) No Eligible Employee shall be granted an Option under the Section 423 Component which permits the Participant’s rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan, and to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary subject to Section 423 of the Code, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of fair market value of such stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time. The limitation under this Section 3.1(b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

3.2 Election to Participate; Payroll Deductions

(a) Except as provided in Sections 3.2(e) and 3.3 hereof, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction. Each individual who is an Eligible Employee as of an Offering Period’s Enrollment Date may elect to participate in such Offering Period and the Plan by delivering to the Company a payroll deduction authorization no later than the period of time prior to the applicable Enrollment Date that is determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

(b) Subject to Section 3.1(b) hereof and except as may otherwise be determined by the Administrator, payroll deductions (i) shall equal at least 1% of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date, but not more than 15% of the Participant’s Compensation as of each Payday of the Offering Period following the Enrollment Date; and (ii) may be expressed either as (A) a whole number percentage, or (B) a fixed dollar amount. Amounts deducted from a Participant’s Compensation with respect to an Offering Period pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be deducted each Payday through payroll deduction and credited to the Participant’s Plan Account; provided that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not begin until such date determined by the Board or Committee, in its sole discretion.

(c)Following at least one payroll deduction, a Participant may decrease (to as low as zero) the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation only once during an Offering Period upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company. A Participant may not increase the amount deducted from such Participant’s Compensation during an Offering Period.

(d) Upon the completion of an Offering Period, each Participant in such Offering Period shall automatically participate in the immediately following Offering Period at the same payroll deduction percentage or fixed amount as in effect at the termination of such Offering Period, unless such Participant delivers to the Company a different election with respect to the successive Offering Period in accordance with Section 3.2(a) hereof, or unless such Participant becomes ineligible for participation in the Plan.

 

G-5


(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, in non-U.S. jurisdictions where participation in the Plan through payroll deductions is prohibited, the Administrator may provide that an Eligible Employee may elect to participate through contributions to the Participant’s account under the Plan in a form acceptable to the Administrator in lieu of or in addition to payroll deductions; provided, however, that, for any Offering under the Section 423 Component, the Administrator must determine that any alternative method of contribution is applied on an equal and uniform basis to all Eligible Employees in the Offering.

3.3 Leave of Absence. During leaves of absence approved by the Company meeting the requirements of Treas. Reg. § 1.421-1(h)(2), a Participant may continue participation in the Plan by making cash payments to the Company on the Participant’s normal payday equal to the Participant’s authorized payroll deduction.

ARTICLE 4

PURCHASE OF SHARES

4.1 Grant of Option. The Company may make one or more Offerings under the Plan, which may be successive or overlapping with one another, until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the shares of Common Stock available under the Plan have been sold or (ii) the date on which the Plan is suspended or terminates. The Administrator shall designate the terms and conditions of each Offering in writing, including without limitation, the Offering Period and the Purchase Periods. Each Participant shall be granted an Option with respect to an Offering Period on the applicable Grant Date. Subject to the limitations of Section 3.1(b) hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Participant’s Option shall be determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to an Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s Plan Account on such Exercise Date by (b) the applicable Option Price; provided that in no event shall a Participant be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof). The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a Participant may purchase during such future Offering Periods. Each Option shall expire on the last Exercise Date for the applicable Offering Period immediately after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, unless such Option terminates earlier in accordance with Article 6 hereof.

4.2 Option Price. The “Option Price” per share of Common Stock to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of the Participant’s Option on an Exercise Date for an Offering Period shall equal 85% of the lesser of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on (a) the applicable Grant Date and (b) the applicable Exercise Date, or such other price designated by the Administrator; provided that in no event shall the Option Price per share of Common Stock be less than the par value per share of the Common Stock; provided further, that no Option Price shall be designated by the Administrator that would cause the Section 423 Component to fail to meet the requirements under Section 423(b) of the Code.

4.3 Purchase of Shares.

(a) On each Exercise Date for an Offering Period, each Participant shall automatically and without any action on such Participant’s part be deemed to have exercised the Participant’s Option to purchase at the applicable per share Option Price the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock which can be purchased with the amount in the Participant’s Plan Account. Any balance less than the per share Option Price that is remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account (after exercise of such Participant’s Option) as of the Exercise Date shall be carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period, unless the Participant has elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof or, pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof, such Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee. Any balance not carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period in accordance with the prior sentence shall be promptly refunded to the applicable Participant. In no event shall an amount greater than or equal to the per share Option Price as of an Exercise Date be carried forward to the next Purchase Period or Offering Period.

 

G-6


(b) As soon as practicable following each Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by such Participant pursuant to Section 4.3(a) hereof shall be delivered (either in share certificate or book entry form), in the Company’s sole discretion, to either (i) the Participant or (ii) an account established in the Participant’s name at a stock brokerage or other financial services firm designated by the Company. If the Company is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such shares of Common Stock, the Company shall seek to obtain such authority. Inability of the Company to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such shares shall relieve the Company from liability to any Participant except to refund to the Participant such Participant’s Plan Account balance, without interest thereon.

4.4 Automatic Termination of Offering Period. If the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on any Exercise Date (except the final scheduled Exercise Date of any Offering Period) is lower than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date for an Offering Period, then such Offering Period shall terminate on such Exercise Date after the automatic exercise of the Option in accordance with Section 4.3 hereof, and each Participant shall automatically be enrolled in the Offering Period that commences immediately following such Exercise Date and such Participant’s payroll deduction authorization shall remain in effect for such Offering Period.

4.5 Transferability of Rights. An Option granted under the Plan shall not be transferable, other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant. No option or interest or right to the Option shall be available to pay off any debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or the Participant’s successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempt at disposition of the Option shall have no effect.

ARTICLE 5

PROVISIONS RELATING TO COMMON STOCK

5.1 Common Stock Reserved. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be the sum of (a) 6,653,530 shares and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031 equal to the lesser of (i) 0.5% of the shares outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares as may be determined by the Board; provided, however, no more than 49,901,478 shares may be issued under the Plan. Shares made available for sale under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares of Common Stock, or reacquired shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

5.2 Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger or Asset Sale.

(a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not yet placed under Option, as well as the price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares

of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of

 

G-7


stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”), and shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.

(c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent Option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Option, any Offering Periods then in progress shall be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date and any Offering Periods then in progress shall end on the New Exercise Date. The New Exercise Date shall be before the date of the Company’s proposed sale or merger. The Administrator shall notify each Participant in writing prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option shall be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 6.1 hereof or the Participant has ceased to be an Eligible Employee as provided in Section 6.2 hereof.

5.3 Insufficient Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance on such Exercise Date in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants exercising Options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and unless additional shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, no further Offering Periods shall take place and the Plan shall terminate pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof. If an Offering Period is so terminated, then the balance of the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account which has not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon.

5.4 Rights as Stockholders. With respect to shares of Common Stock subject to an Option, a Participant shall not be deemed to be a stockholder of the Company and shall not have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder. A Participant shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company when, but not until, shares of Common Stock have been deposited in the designated brokerage account following exercise of the Participant’s Option.

ARTICLE 6

TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION

6.1 Cessation of Contributions; Voluntary Withdrawal.

(a) A Participant may cease payroll deductions during an Offering Period and elect to withdraw from the Plan by delivering written notice of such election to the Company in such form and at such time prior to the Exercise Date for such Offering Period as may be established by the Administrator (a “Withdrawal Election”). A Participant electing to withdraw from the Plan may elect to either (i) withdraw all of the funds then credited to the Participant’s Plan Account as of the date on which the Withdrawal Election is received by the Company, in which case amounts credited to such Plan Account shall be returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such election is received by the Company, without any interest thereon, and the Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan and the Participant’s Option for such Offering Period shall terminate; or (ii) exercise the Option for the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock on the applicable Exercise Date with any remaining Plan Account balance returned to the Participant in one lump-sum payment in cash within 30 days after such Exercise Date, without any interest thereon, and after such exercise cease to participate in the Plan. Upon receipt of a Withdrawal Election, the Participant’s payroll deduction authorization and the Participant’s Option shall terminate.

(b) A Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not have any effect upon the Participant’s eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

(c) A Participant who ceases contributions to the Plan during any Offering Period shall not be permitted to resume contributions to the Plan during that Offering Period.

6.2 Termination of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, such Participant’s Option for the applicable Offering Period shall automatically terminate, the Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, and such Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, to the person or persons entitled thereto pursuant to applicable law, within 30 days after such cessation of being an Eligible Employee, without any interest thereon. If a Participant transfers employment from the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component to any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component, such transfer shall not be treated as a termination of employment, but the Participant shall immediately cease to participate in the Section 423 Component; however, any contributions made for the Offering Period in which such transfer occurs shall be transferred to the Non-Section 423 Component, and such Participant shall immediately join the then-current Offering under the Non-Section 423 Component upon the same terms and conditions in effect for the Participant’s participation in the Section 423 Component, except for such modifications otherwise applicable for Participants in such Offering. A Participant who transfers employment from any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Non-Section 423 Component to the Company or any Designated Subsidiary participating in the Section 423 Component shall not be treated as terminating the Participant’s employment and shall remain a Participant in the Non-Section 423 Component until the earlier of (i) the end of the current Offering Period under the Non-Section 423 Component, or (ii) the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period in which the Participant is eligible to participate following such transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may establish different rules to govern transfers of employment between companies participating in the Section 423 Component and the Non-Section 423 Component, consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Administrator under the Plan.

(d) The Administrator may adopt sub-plans applicable to particular Designated Subsidiaries or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code.

7.5 Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) The Board may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

7.10 Notice of Disposition of Shares. Each Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition or other transfer of any shares of Common Stock, acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option granted under the Section 423 Component, if such disposition or transfer is made (a) within two years after the applicable Grant Date or (b) within one year after the transfer of such shares of Common Stock to such Participant upon exercise of such Option. The Company may direct that any certificates evidencing shares acquired pursuant to the Plan refer to such requirement.

7.14 Conditions To Issuance of Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option by a Participant, unless and until the Board or the Committee has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded, and the shares of Common Stock are covered by an effective registration statement or applicable exemption from registration. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board or the Committee may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements.

 

G-12


(b) All certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to the Plan and all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to book entry procedures are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any certificate or book entry evidencing shares of Common Stock to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Common Stock.

(c) The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement, distribution or exercise of any Option, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the sole discretion of the Committee.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company may, in lieu of delivering to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock issued in connection with any Option, record the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

7.15 Equal Rights and Privileges. All Eligible Employees of the Company (or of any Designated Subsidiary) granted Options pursuant to an Offering under the Section 423 Component shall have equal rights and privileges under this Plan to the extent required under Section 423 of the Code so that the Section 423 Component qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Any provision of the Section 423 Component that is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with the equal rights and privileges requirement of Section 423 of the Code. Eligible Employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component need not have the same rights and privileges as Eligible Employees participating in the Section 423 Component.

7.16 Rules Particular to Specific Countries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms and conditions of the Plan with respect to Participants who are tax residents of a particular non-U.S. country or who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions may be subject to an addendum to the Plan in the form of an appendix or sub-plan (which appendix or sub-plan may be designed to govern Offerings under the Section 423 Component or the Non-Section 423 Component, as determined by the Administrator). To the extent that the terms and conditions set forth in an appendix or sub-plan conflict with any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the appendix or sub-plan shall govern. The adoption of any such appendix or sub-plan shall be pursuant to Section 7.1 above. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures, with respect to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed in non-U.S. jurisdictions, regarding the exclusion of particular Subsidiaries from participation in the Plan, eligibility to participate, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions or other contributions by Participants, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, data privacy security, payroll tax, withholding procedures, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions.

7.17 Section 409A. The Section 423 Component of the Plan and the Options granted pursuant to Offerings thereunder are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A. Neither the Non-Section 423 Component nor any Option granted pursuant to an Offering thereunder is intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that any Option granted under the Plan may be or become subject to Section 409A or that any provision of the Plan may cause an Option granted under the Plan to be or become subject to Section 409A, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and/or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions as the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A or with an available exemption therefrom.

ARTICLE II

LOCKUP

2.1 Lockup.

(a) Subject to the exclusions in Section 2.1(b), each Stockholder Party agrees not to Transfer any Lock-up Shares until the end of the Lock-up Period (the “Lock-up”).

(b) Each Stockholder Party or any of its Permitted Transferees may Transfer any Lock-up Shares it holds during the Lock-up Period (a) to other Stockholder Parties or any direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders of such Stockholder Party, any Affiliates of such Stockholder Party or any related investment funds or vehicles controlled or managed by such Persons or their respective Affiliates; (b) by gift to a charitable organization; or, in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the primary beneficiaries of which are one or more members of the individual’s immediate family or an Affiliate of such Person; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) in connection with any bona fide mortgage, encumbrance or pledge to a financial institution in connection with any bona fide loan or debt transaction or enforcement thereunder, including foreclosure thereof; or (f) to the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a definitive agreement that contemplates a Change of Control is entered into after the Closing, the Lock-up Period for any Lock-up Shares shall automatically terminate immediately prior to such Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lock-up Shares shall be subject to Lock-up from and after the date that is one year after the Closing Date.

(ii) The term “Lock-up Shares” means with respect to any Stockholder Party and its respective Permitted Transferees, (A) the shares of Common Stock held by such Person immediately following the closing of the Merger other than any shares purchased pursuant to a Subscription Agreement and (B) the shares of Common Stock issuable to such Person upon the settlement or exercise of restricted stock units, stock options or other equity awards outstanding as of immediately following the closing of the Merger in respect of awards of Joby Aero outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, determined as if, with respect to any such equity awards that are net exercised, such equity awards were instead cash exercised. For the avoidance of doubt, Lock-Up Shares shall include any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Stockholder Party pursuant to ownership of shares of capital stock of Joby Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Joby Aviation, Inc.)

(iii) The term “Permitted Transferees” means, prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, any Person to whom such Stockholder Party or any other Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder Party is permitted to transfer such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(d) Each Stockholder Party shall be permitted to enter into a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act during the applicable Lock-up Period so long as no Transfers of such Stockholder Party’s shares of Common Stock in contravention of this Section 2.1 are effected prior to the expiration of the applicable Lock-up Period.

(e) Each Stockholder Party also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of any Lock-up Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions and to the addition of a legend to such Stockholder Party’s Lock-up Shares describing the foregoing restrictions.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder Party is subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 2.1 in addition to the provisions set forth in Section 7.12 of the Company’s bylaws, as amended, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, as previously approved by the stockholders of the Company (the “Bylaws”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Bylaws, each Stockholder Party agrees not to exercise any right it may be entitled to under Section 7.12(iv)(a) and Section 7.12(iv)(b) of the Bylaws and agrees not to Transfer any Lock-up Shares in violation of this Agreement.

(h) The obligations of the Stockholder Parties hereunder are conditioned on the Company entering into the Sponsor Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision herein that would (i) adversely affect any Stockholder Party, or (ii) disproportionately affect any Stockholder Party as compared to any other Stockholder Party, in each case, will not bind any such Stockholder Party without such Stockholder Party’s prior written approval.

I.    Follow the Law

A.    Obeying All Foreign, Federal, State and Local Laws. Joby Aviation, Inc. (“Joby Aviation” or the “Company”) takes its responsibilities to comply with all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations very seriously. Each of us is expected to comply with applicable legal requirements and prohibitions. While it’s impossible to know all aspects of every applicable law, it is your responsibility to understand the laws and regulations that apply to your particular work, to be aware of the major laws and regulations that impact our business, and to ask questions and seek information to support the Company’s compliance with law. We are committed to ensuring that every action we take is in full compliance with the law and in keeping with our high ethical standards.

B.    Import and Export Compliance. In order to regulate technology considered to be important for national security, economic protection and competitiveness, and concerns about the end use or end user, the United States, and many other countries, have adopted laws that restrict or otherwise require government authorization or licensing for the export of certain goods, services, and technologies. Joby Aviation follows all laws pertaining to the export of goods, services, and technologies, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) of the U.S. Department of State and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Joby Aviation’s products, services, and technologies are not currently subject to the ITAR, and the Company confirms this through regular, periodic reviews of its products, services, and technologies. The Company will always obtain any necessary EAR export licenses.

Additionally, all countries have rules governing the import of goods, including proper identification or classification of the import and payment of applicable tariffs, duties, and other charges. Joby Aviation is committed to complying with all applicable import regulations.

C.    US Immigration Regulations. Every country, including the U.S., has rules governing entry into and work within its borders. You are responsible for knowing and maintaining your immigration and employment status in compliance with the laws of the countries where you work and travel. You must immediately notify the Company if your ability to work legally in the location of your employment is questioned, jeopardized, or terminates. Joby Aviation will

provide support, as appropriate, to ensure that the employment, travel, transfer, and residence of employees conforms to applicable immigration and employment laws. Always ensure that you have appropriate visas and other permits before traveling into or working in a country and always comply with the terms of the visa or permit. Never travel without a passport or other applicable identification, or misrepresent your identity relating to immigration or employment.

D.     Fair Labor Practices. Joby Aviation pursues fair labor and employment practices, regardless of where we conduct business in the world. We proactively respect human rights and workers’ rights and will not tolerate any human trafficking or child, forced, indentured, or other type of underage or involuntary labor. We will only do business with those who respect human rights, promote fair labor and employment practices, and uphold applicable labor and employment laws. If you are ever in doubt about an employment practice, please ask the Human Resources Team.

E.    Sanctions Control Program. The U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls (OFAC), has enacted regulations that control doing business with certain governments, individuals and entities, particularly foreign governments, persons, and businesses. Joby Aviation complies with these regulations through its sanctions compliance program and provides training to employees whose work requires awareness of and compliance with OFAC regulations.

F.    Anti-Boycott Regulations and Boycotted Countries. U.S. laws prohibit participation in or cooperation with certain boycotts imposed by some countries against another, like boycotts against the State of Israel. If requested to participate in or cooperate with an illegal international boycott, you may not agree to or comply with such a request, and you must report any such request immediately to the Legal Team.

In contrast, the U.S. implements boycotts of and prohibits doing business with certain “unfriendly” countries, for example, Iran and Cuba. The Company complies with these prohibitions as part of its sanctions compliance program.

G.    Strict Contract Compliance. We place a great importance on maintaining integrity and responsibility in performing all of our contracts, whether for sale of our goods and services or for purchases necessary to operate its business. As a contractor with the U.S. Government, the Company strictly complies with the terms of its federal contracts.

H.        Insider Trading. Trading on inside information is a violation of federal securities law. Our directors, officers and employees in possession of material non-public information about Joby Aviation or companies with whom we do business must abstain from trading or advising others to trade in the respective company’s securities from the time that they obtain such inside information until adequate public disclosure of the information. Material information is information of such importance that it can be expected to affect the judgment of investors as to whether or not to buy, sell or hold the securities in question. To use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others, including family members, who might make an investment decision based on this information is not only unethical but also illegal.

II.    Speak Up Without Fear

A.    We Encourage You to Ask Questions and Report Concerns. We know it takes courage to come forward and share your concerns. Please let us know when you see actions that are inconsistent with the law, our values, this Code, and the Company’s policies. We want you to say what you think, even when it might be an unpopular opinion. If you become aware of something that may be illegal, unethical, or unsafe, you have an obligation to speak up immediately - no matter who might be involved.

B.    Zero Retaliation. We won’t retaliate or permit retaliation against anyone who raises questions or concerns honestly and in good faith about Company activities or discloses information to a government or law enforcement agency. Prohibited retaliation includes actions taken with the intent or effect of adversely affecting the terms or conditions of the employment, for example, threats of physical harm, demotion or loss of promotion or job, punitive work assignments, or adverse impact on salary or other compensation.

Notwithstanding, it is a violation of the Code to knowingly make a false accusation, lie to investigators, or interfere or refuse to cooperate with an internal investigation. Allegations that are knowingly baseless and not made in good faith may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment by the Company.

C.    Registering a Concern. If you believe you’ve been a victim of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, or you witness any actual or perceived illegal, unsafe, or unethical conduct, please report it immediately so that we may address and remedy the situation. We strive to maintain open communication in all aspects of our business and you are always encouraged to first and foremost discuss with your direct manager any questions or concerns you may have.

We have established several reporting methods to facilitate ease of both communication and the complaint process. You may use any or all of the following anonymous reporting methods:

 

   

Submit a written or verbal report to any member of the Human Resources Team

 

   

Submit a written or verbal report to your direct manager or, if you are not comfortable making a report to your direct manager, submit a report to any other manager in your direct manager’s chain (or to any other manager)

 

   

Submit a report anonymously through our Ethics Hotline at jobyaviation.ethicspoint.com or 844-981-1068

Your report should be as detailed as possible, including the names of all individuals involved and any witnesses.

Supervisors and managers who observe discrimination, harassment, or retaliation, or any actual or perceived illegal, unsafe, or unethical conduct, or who receive any complaints of misconduct must report the conduct or complaint to the Director of Human Resources so that an investigation can be made and corrective action taken, as appropriate.

D.    Our Investigation Process. Regardless of who you contact or how you register your concern, you can be confident that you’re doing the right thing and that your concern will be handled promptly and appropriately. Upon receipt of a report of alleged misconduct, a fair, timely, and thorough investigation will be conducted and appropriate remediation implemented.

III.    Make Ethical Decisions

A.    Integrity in the Workplace. You are expected to act and perform your duties with the utmost integrity, free from fraud and deception, and conforming to accepted professional standards of conduct. You owe a duty to Joby Aviation to advance the legitimate interests of Joby Aviation when the opportunity to do so arises. You are prohibited from directly or indirectly (a) taking personally for opportunities that are discovered through the use of Joby Aviation property, information or positions; (b) using our property, information or positions for personal gain; or (c) competing with the Joby aviation for business opportunities. When you face difficult decisions at Joby Aviation, take the time to consider the implications of your actions.

Always Ask:

 

   

Am I acting in the best interest of the Company?

 

   

Is my action honest and fair?

 

   

Do my actions make me feel good about myself?

 

   

Would I feel comfortable sharing my decision with the entire company? With my friends or family? On social media?

 

   

Am I aware of any unconscious bias that may affect my decision making?

If you hesitate in answering “yes” to even one of these questions, then it’s best to get another opinion from your manager or the Legal Team before taking any action.

B.    Respecting and Upholding Joby’s Reputation. Act with integrity in a way that respects and upholds Joby’s reputation. Even a small act of thoughtlessness, selfishness, greed, or jealousy can have a serious negative impact on our Company culture. We do our best to present our Company in a professional manner in our written communications and interactions

with the public. We do not make promises we cannot keep. We aim always to go a little bit beyond what’s expected or requested. We promote Joby Aviation’s reputation locally by engaging with the community in a way that aligns with the Company’s values and goals.

C.    Political Contributions. The Company encourages its employees to participate in the political process as individuals using their own time and resources. When you participate in political affairs, you should be careful to make it clear that your views and actions are your own and not made on behalf of Joby Aviation. You may not use Company funds or assets to participate in political activities or to make a political contribution to any political party or candidate, unless you have the prior written approval of the Legal Team.

IV.     Avoid Conflicts of Interest

A.    Navigating Government Relationships. If your job responsibilities include interacting with the U.S. Government (or a foreign government), you are expected to learn, understand, and comply with the unique requirements that apply to communications with those who may have regulatory authority over our products and operations. These include avoiding potential conflicts of interest and lobbying on the Company’s behalf.

You must obtain prior written approval from the Legal Team for any work activity that requires communication with a representative of a legislative body or a government official. This includes meetings with legislators or members of their staff on behalf of the Company, communicating with government agency representatives to advocate a position or otherwise on behalf of the Company, or discussing potential employment with a former or current government employee. This also includes preparation, research, and other background activities done in support of lobbying, even if the communication ultimately is not made.

If you have any doubt about whether a work activity might constitute a conflict of interest or lobbying, you should seek advice immediately from your supervisor or a member of the Legal Team before you make any communication or take any action.

LOGO

 

B.    Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI). An OCI may result when factors create an actual or potential conflict of interest for Joby Aviation on a current U.S. Government contract, or when the nature of the work performed on the contract creates an actual or potential conflict of interest on a future contract. An OCI potentially impairs the Company’s ability to render impartial assistance or advice to the U.S. Government or possibly gives us an unfair competitive advantage. Examples of organizational conflicts of interest include employees using information they obtained while working for the government to give the Company an unfair competitive advantage over other companies or bidding on a federal contract where we helped design the scope of work and, thus, gain a competitive advantage.

We take seriously our duty to identify, avoid, disclose, and mitigate OCIs. If you know of or suspect an OCI related to a federal bid or contract, you must disclose this immediately to the Legal Team, who will determine whether an OCI exists based on the facts of the situation.

C.    Post-Employment Conflicts of Interest. Changing employers, especially moving into and out of employment by a foreign, federal, state, or local government, can create a conflict of interest. To address this issue, many governments have adopted so-called “revolving door” rules that control how their employees or former employees can move into the private sector. In the U.S., these rules are so serious they are part of the federal criminal code (18 U.S.C. 207) and subject federal government employees, and the contractors that hire or compensate them, to criminal penalties.

You may not communicate with any current or former government employee about possible employment at Job Aviation, whether in person, by telephone, or via fax or email, without prior written authorization from the Legal Team.

While the Company has put in place certain procedures to comply with “revolving door” rules, it is your responsibility to be aware of the rules and to seek assistance from your manager, Human Resources, or the Legal Team before discussing potential employment with a current or former foreign, federal, state, or local government employee.

LOGO

 

D.    Outside Business Opportunities and Financial Interests. You are prohibited from holding a “material interest” (ownership, management, or otherwise) in any organization that you know or suspect is or will be a customer, supplier, competitor, or other business partner of the Company, as well as using your position at the Company to influence a transaction with such an organization. Examples of this type of conflict of interest include -

 

   

Accepting employment, advisory positions, or board of director seats with Joby Aviation’s customers, suppliers, competitors, or other business partners whose interests reasonably would be expected to conflict with those of the Company.

 

   

Starting your own business that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company.

 

   

Developing or helping to develop designs, technologies, or inventions outside of the workplace that are in any way based on, derivative of, or use your knowledge of Joby Aviation’s current, developing, or prospective technologies.

You must immediately disclose any such conflict of interest to your manager.

E.    Mixing Personal Relationships with Business. When considering a course of action, ask whether it could benefit yourself, your friends, or family or any third party at the expense of the Company. If the answer is “yes,” then the action you’re considering is a conflict of interest, and you must avoid it. When in doubt, always disclose and recuse yourself from potential conflicts. You must never use or attempt to use your position with Joby Aviation to obtain improper personal benefits, including making decisions on behalf of Joby Aviation that involve a friend, relative, spouse, or domestic partner.

Additionally, being involved in a romantic relationship with a co-worker can, depending on the work roles and respective positions of the co-workers involved, create an actual or potential conflict of interest. It can also create the appearance of favoritism and unfair or unequal treatment, or lead to allegations of a hostile work environment or sexual harassment. You must disclose any romantic relationship with a co-worker to the Human Resources Team. If a romantic relationship creates an actual or potential conflict, or any other detrimental situation, the Company may require changes to the individuals’ work arrangements or even the termination of employment of either or both of the individuals involved.

V.    Be Safe

A.     Cooperate with the FAA and Comply with Regulations and Policies. New technology should be held to a higher standard than what has come before. As an aerospace company regulated by the U.S. Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), Joby Aviation will provide the highest level of safety while accomplishing all development, flight testing, certification, production, and commercial flight operations. We are aware that there is a higher than normal degree of risk associated with flight testing new or modified aircraft, and the Company expects you to follow all safety rules and best practices. We cooperate with the government officials who enforce these rules, as well as take necessary steps to protect ourselves, other employees, and the general public.

You must attend required safety training, and immediately report all accidents, injuries, and unsafe practices or conditions to the Human Resources Team. Our primary concern is for the safety of our employees, as well as the customers and families we entrust to our vehicles.

B.    Mechanisms for Reporting Unsafe Practices. Voluntary safety reporting is an essential practice that allows us to be proactive and prevent accidents and injuries. The data gathered from such reports can be used to identify systemic vulnerabilities, the root causes of human error and, ultimately, help us succeed as a company. You must report any unsafe conditions, accidents, or injuries immediately to the appropriate leadership so that the Company can address these immediately. In situations where you may not feel comfortable reporting unsafe practices directly to management, use the anonymous reporting mechanisms described in Section II.C.

C.    Ongoing Company-Wide Safety Education. We require employee participation in company-wide safety initiatives and education. Training is a key component of Joby Aviation’s health and safety programs. Our standards require new employees to receive the appropriate level of health and safety training for their work environment. Pursuant to applicable health and safety standards, the Company requires regular safety audits to ensure that proper safety policies, programs, procedures, analysis, and training are in place. We use this audit data to update, improve, and correct our safety action plans. Be sure to learn and follow all safety and health rules at your location.

D.    Substance Abuse Not Tolerated. Substance abuse is incompatible with Joby Aviation’s culture, and we do not allow it. Additionally, the FAA requires the Company to maintain a drug- and alcohol-free workplace. Consumption of alcohol and illegal substances, including marijuana, whether or not such use is legal in the relevant jurisdiction, or any other type of substance abuse at our worksites is strictly prohibited. If we have reason to suspect that your job performance is being affected by substance abuse, we reserve the right to require an alcohol and/or drug screening.

E.    Violence in the Workplace. Joby Aviation is committed to preventing violence in order to provide a safe environment in which to work. We will not tolerate any level of violence in the workplace. Under no circumstances may anyone bring a gun or other weapon to work. In order to enhance workplace security, you must be familiar with and follow the Company’s evacuation plans and take the workplace safety training offered to you. If you become aware of a possible violent situation, you must report it immediately using one of the mechanisms mentioned in Section V.B, above, or by calling 9-1-1.

VI.    Preserve Confidentiality

A.    Employee Confidentiality. You will have access to a variety of incredibly valuable confidential information while working at Joby Aviation, and it is your obligation under the Employee Confidentiality Agreement you signed with the Company to safeguard all confidential technical, financial, and other business information that we are not ready to share publicly. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to our competitors, or, if disclosed, cause damage to Joby Aviation’s business. We take appropriate precautions to ensure that confidential or sensitive business information, whether it is proprietary to the Company or to a third party is not disclosed except as authorized and as consistent with obligations of confidentiality.

B.     Respecting the Third Party Property. We respect the property, confidential information, and intellectual property of others and comply with all obligations we undertake to protect a third party’s property.

C.    Social Media Guidelines. The Company expects you to exercise good judgment regarding the use of social media. Social media is part of our lives, and we support employees who use this medium to share personal information with their professional networks, family, and friends. However, we want to balance this with the fact that our Company has incredibly valuable technical and business information, and reputation to be protected. Please review our Social Media Guidelines so that you are aware of our policies.

D.    Media Disclosures. It is crucial that we speak with one voice when communicating about Joby Aviation to the media. Inaccurate statements can create serious risks for the Company, including breach of contract, misrepresentation, and false advertising. In the event that you’re approached by a member of the media, please politely respond with “I am not at liberty to discuss.” Direct all media and marketing requests to your manager.

E.    Joby Property Ownership. All physical property, materials, documents, digital or electronic data, communications, and information obtained, generated, or transmitted by you for the Company’s business or on the Company’s behalf is the sole property of Joby Aviation. The Company reserves the right to monitor, intercept, review, and remotely wipe all Joby Aviation content from any device, including your personal devices, such as a laptop or smartphone. You have no expectation of privacy in any Joby Aviation property or content. In the event of an internal investigation, the Company reserves the right to access the entire contents of your personal devices in order to determine whether any Company data resides on the devices. Joby Aviation will not be responsible for any losses, damages, or liability arising out of the use of any device for the Company’s business, except for devices expressly authorized by the Company for business purposes.

F.    Privacy Data. Joby Aviation is committed to using personal information that is subject to U.S. and foreign privacy laws and regulations only as permitted by law and only for valid business purposes. You are responsible for understanding what information is subject to privacy laws and regulations. You are also obligated to know the rules controlling access to and use of privacy data. You must use this information only as necessary for conducting valid Company business, only in accordance with Joby Aviation’s policies, and only in accordance with law.

G.    Cybersecurity. Remote access to our corporate network is essential to maintain our productivity. However, in many cases, this remote access originates from networks that may be compromised or are at a significantly lower security posture than Joby Aviation’s corporate network. The Company utilizes remote access tools to provide a way for employees to communicate and work, for example, to share screens or access work computer systems from home. You may use only the remote access tools approved by the Company’s IT Team to access Joby Aviation’s IT networks. Limited remote access is allowed from devices owned by employees or third parties, including business partners, consultants, and contractors, with the advance written approval of the IT Team. Any illegal or unethical activities conducted through the Joby Aviation IT network by any user (authorized or otherwise) is strictly prohibited.

H.    Public Communications and Regulation Fair Disclosure. Joby Aviation places a high value on its credibility and reputation in the community, which is reflected in our approach to public communications.

We will always do our best to provide timely and accurate information in response to public inquiries. In connection with its public communications, the Company complies with Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Regulation FD”) rules relating to the disclosure of material non-public information about the Company to securities market professionals or the Company’s shareholders. Since we are required to disclose any such information to the public, Joby Aviation has designated certain individuals as “spokespersons’’ who are responsible for communicating with analysts, institutional investors, and representatives of the media. Any employee or director who is not a designated spokesperson of the Company is prohibited from communicating any information about the Company to analysts, institutional investors, other stockholders, or representatives of the media, except at the request of the Company’s designated spokespersons.

The information in our public communications, including in all reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC, must be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. To ensure we meet this standard, all of our directors, officers and employees (to the extent they are involved in our disclosure process) are required to maintain familiarity with the disclosure requirements, processes and procedures applicable to us and commensurate with their duties. Such persons are prohibited from knowingly misrepresenting, omitting or causing others to misrepresent or omit, material facts about us to others, including our independent auditors, governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

VII.    Manage Company Assets

A.    Employee Fiscal Responsibility. When you spend money on Joby Aviation’s behalf, it is your responsibility to make sure that the cost is reasonable, directly related to Company business, and supported by appropriate documentation. Act frugally and in the Company’s best interest at all times. Every time you enter into a business transaction on Joby Aviation’s behalf, you must have the appropriate written documentation recording the agreement. All agreements,

contracts, and transactions at Joby Aviation must be made in writing, signed by an authorized Company representative, and approved in advance and in writing by the Legal Team. We rely on Joby Aviation’s assets to support our work every day and achieve our business objectives. We use Joby Aviation’s assets only for ethical and legal purposes that benefit the Company and in accordance with our policies. We do not use the Company’s property to engage in illegal, unethical, or improper activities of any kind. Vandalizing or mistreating Company property is prohibited. Use of the Company’s assets for personal gain is also prohibited.

B.    Maintaining Accurate Records. Company records, regardless of format or storage location, reflect the Company’s business transactions, decisions, operations, and other activities. This includes not only materials created by our employees and contractors, but materials produced by third parties on behalf of Joby Aviation. Business necessity and certain federal, state and local laws require the Company to retain certain records, usually for a specific amount of time. You must follow the Company’s record retention policies. Joby Aviation prohibits the illegal, unethical, inappropriate, or unauthorized destruction of any records. We never change, conceal, falsify, or destroy any record with the intent to impede or obstruct any company purpose or legal or government proceeding.

Company records are critical for internal decision-making and reporting to government agencies. All reports to regulatory authorities must be complete, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable. When records are affected by a lawsuit or internal or government investigation, be sure to strictly follow any instructions from the Legal Team.

C.    Securing Our Data Every Day. We expect all employees, contractors, consultants, temporary, and other workers at the Company to maintain a “clean desk” to ensure that confidential or sensitive information about our technologies, employees, intellectual property, customers, and vendors is removed from workstations and locked away at the end of each day or when workstations are not in use. The Information Security Team will secure the Company’s data through various methods, including periodic walk-throughs, video monitoring, business tool reports, internal and external audits, and feedback.

D.    Financial Controls. We undergo regular, periodic examinations or audits of the Company’s fiscal management to ensure that our funds and resources are used and reported in accordance with the methods prescribed by law and our financial policies, as well as generally accepted accounting principles, and to determine whether the Company is appropriately safeguarding its assets and operating efficiently and in a manner consistent with law and Company policies.

VIII.    Embrace Diversity

A.    Valuing Diversity and Inclusion. Joby Aviation actively pursues and promotes an environment that is inclusive of all people and their unique abilities, strengths, and differences. A diverse workforce is a strategic and competitive business advantage for the Company. We strive to rethink traditional efforts around inclusion and diversity as we aim to foster an environment where employees can be their authentic selves. We respect diversity in each other, our employees, contractors, customers, and suppliers. We provide equal opportunity in all aspects of our business and do not tolerate discrimination or harassment, including on the basis of race, color, religion, veteran status, mental or physical disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, or any other characteristics protected by law.

B.    Respecting and Supporting Each Other. We are committed to a supportive work environment where employees feel like they belong and can do their best work. Employees are expected to do their utmost to create an inclusive workplace culture. We treat people with respect regardless of status. We avoid “silo mentalities,” in other words, hoarding information for our individual benefit. Regardless of departments or duties, we pride ourselves in being passionate and high energy individuals who give recognition freely to others. We put processes into place to create safe workplaces where people treat each other with respect and everyone has a voice.

C.    Harassment and Bullying. The Company prohibits all forms of harassment and bullying, whether based on the legally protected characteristics described in Section VIII.A, above, or for any other reason, whether physical, written, or verbal, and whether committed by supervisors, employees, or non-employees or third parties. Prohibited harassment includes without limitation offensive sexual flirtations, unwanted sexual advances or propositions, verbal abuse, sexually or racially degrading words, or the display in the workplace of sexually suggestive or racially degrading objects or pictures.

D.    Providing an Equitable Work Environment. Equity isn’t only about pay; it also includes equal opportunities for growth, success, promotion, learning, and development. We aim to achieve parity in the way we operate the Company and in the way projects are organized, assigned, and managed.

IX.    Use Green Standards

A.    Sustainable Daily Business Operations. As we work to advance the world’s transition to sustainable transportation, we have a responsibility to minimize our impact on the environment, natural resources, and the world around us. We promote sustainable energy and green business practices. The Company is committed to avoiding adverse environmental impacts, as well as injury to the environment and the communities in which we do business. Joby Aviation supports sustainability and environmental protection initiatives, including the reduction of waste, emissions, and energy use. We work with our stakeholders to examine our environmental practices and see how we can improve.

B.    Responsible Manufacturing Processes. We pursue technology that will allow us to be a leader in environmentally friendly production practices. We consistently try to set environmental attainment goals and objectives which are consistent with cutting edge environmental initiatives, including those promoted by federal, state, and local governments. We take outside recommendations seriously in order to reduce our potential environmental impact, generate low material waste when machining, and reduce our natural resource consumption. We maintain responsible supply chains and work with our partners to ensure sustainable manufacturing from beginning to end.

C.    Employee Awareness and Stakeholder Engagement. Sustainability will always be a part of who we are and what we do. We see ourselves as environmental stewards. We promote sustainable commerce and increase awareness of environmental causes through volunteering and philanthropy. The Company is committed to creating and implementing Company-wide sustainability programs, such as recycling, zero-waste initiatives, and responsible manufacturing practices. You are encouraged to learn these initiatives, promote them, and demonstrate them inside and outside the Company

D.    Complying with Environmental Laws. You are expected to be familiar and comply with the environmental laws and regulations that relate to your work responsibilities. Please reach out to the Safety Team if you ever have a question or concern.

X.    Be Innovative

A.    Industrial and Educational Participation. Innovation defines our vision for the future and helps us to challenge the status quo. We encourage innovation through participation in trade shows, industry conferences, and ongoing training, as well as meaningful connections with educational, charitable, civic, and philanthropic organizations. We aim to create an inclusive environment where original ideas and inventions will flourish. We improve performance continually and always strive to be our best. We will always do our best to contribute to local employment growth by offering opportunities and fostering training.

B.    Competitive Information. We gather information about our competitors, but we always do so openly and honestly from public sources and never through spying, misrepresentation, or other illegal or unethical means. Additionally, we never ask job applicants or new employees to divulge confidential information about a former or current employer.

C.    Proper Marketing Practices, Fair Competition, and Antitrust Laws. We compete ethically and vigorously while complying with applicable antitrust, anti-monopoly, unfair trade practices, and anti-competition laws in the locations where the Company conducts business. We do not collude with others on the prices we charge our customers, including rigging bids, dividing up customers or territories, or organizing or participating in boycotts of other companies. You must be familiar and comply with the anti-trust and fair competition laws applicable to your work activities. You must advise the Legal Team in advance of any meeting with a competitor for any reason and exercise caution in such meetings to avoid the appearance of impropriety or violating applicable laws.

D.    Procurement Integrity Act. You must never knowingly obtain information about bids, proposal evaluations, or award of a federal contract, whether the information originates from the U.S. Government or a third party. If you inadvertently gain access to such information, you must immediately return it or, if this is not possible, place it where it is inaccessible to others, and you must notify the Legal Team about the situation. You may never use this information for any purpose.

E.    Business Courtesies (Gifts and Gratuities) and Kickbacks. The exchange of gifts, entertainment, and other business courtesies is a common commercial business practice. Appropriate business courtesies of reasonable value are welcome practices designed to build relationships and understanding among business partners. Courtesies, however, must not compromise or appear to compromise your ability to make objective and fair business decisions or illegally or improperly influence another’s business decisions.

Notwithstanding, such exchanges with government officials or associated with doing business with a government are almost always considered to be illegal bribes or kickbacks in the locations where Joby Aviation conducts business. You may not offer (or approve an offer of) or accept a business courtesy from a representative of any foreign, federal, state, or local government, regardless of the value or dollar amount. Notwithstanding, you may offer government representatives modest refreshments (for example, coffee and donuts or cookies) that are not part of a meal, and that are incidental to a business meeting.

You must immediately notify the Legal Team if you are solicited to provide or if you are offered a business courtesy in the context of doing government business and you must decline to provide or accept such a business courtesy.

You are responsible for differentiating between commercial business relationships and government business relationships for purposes of analyzing whether a situation involves a business courtesy. See the Company’s Gifts and Gratuities Policy for more information.

XI.    Consequences; Condition of Employment

A.    Consequences. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to Joby Aviation’s business often has severe consequences for the Company and for you personally. Violations of law can result in civil and criminal penalties, not only for the Company, but also for you individually. Substantial and sometimes crippling fines and other monetary penalties are common. Violations can also result in the loss of certain privileges, for example, violating import regulations can result in the loss of import privileges and, consequently, the Company will be unable to receive imported goods critical to operating the Company.

The potential risks and consequences of non-compliance with (breach of) a term or condition of a U.S. Government contract are distinctly different from and potentially far more serious than those associated with breach of a commercial contract. A non-compliance will not only constitute a default resulting in traditional monetary damages, but also can be treated as a false certification or other misrepresentation potentially resulting in allegations of civil or criminal fraud against both Joby Aviation and personally against our individual managers and employees.

Most importantly, violations of law or of the Company’s policies and this Code may result in a loss of Joby Aviation’s highly valued business reputation.

B.     Condition of Employment. You are required to read, understand, and comply with this Code, as well as the Company’s other policies. Your continued employment with Joby Aviation is conditioned on you following this Code and these policies. Any violation of law, the Code, or policies may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your employment with Joby Aviation. You are responsible for knowing which laws and policies apply to your work at Joby Aviation.

This Code is a statement of certain fundamental principles, policies and procedures that govern our directors, officers and employees in the conduct of our business. It is not intended to and does not create any rights in any employee, customer, client, visitor, supplier, competitor, shareholder or any other person or entity. Additionally, nothing in this Code replaces or supercedes the Company’s system or processes for performance evaluation.

XII.    Waivers

JOBY AERO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Company and Nature of Business

Description of Business

Joby Aero, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on November 21, 2016. The Company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California. The Company is a vertically integrated electric mobility company that is building a fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) optimized passenger aircraft to be used by the Company to deliver air transportation as a service.

Merger with RTP

On August 10, 2021, the Company completed a merger with Reinvent Technology Partners (“RTP”), a special purpose acquisition company, whereby a subsidiary of RTP merged with the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP (“Merger”). Immediately after the Merger RTP was renamed to Joby Aviation, Inc (“Joby Aviation”).

The Merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, whereby RTP is expected to be treated as the acquiree. Accordingly, the financial statements of Joby Aviation will represent a continuation of the financial statements of the Company, with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded, net assets of RTP being presented at historical costs. Operations prior to the Merger will be presented as those of the Company.

As a result of and upon the closing of the Merger, all outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, shares of the Company’s common stock reserved in respect of all outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, and all outstanding restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, all outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, or the reservation of, shares of Joby Aviation common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) or, as applicable, shares underlying awards based on Joby Aviation common stock, representing a fully-diluted pre-transaction equity value of the Company of $5.0 billion per the Merger Agreement. The outstanding shares of Company’s capital stock were determined after giving effect to the exercise in full of all outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s capital stock and conversion of outstanding convertible note issued to Uber (see Note 4), in accordance with their terms immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

Management expects losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future, primarily as a result of continued research and development efforts. The Company intends to fund research and development efforts through equity and debt issuances. In 2020, the Company received $70.5 million in gross proceeds from additional issuances of Series C Preferred Stock. In January 2021 the Company received $75.0 million in gross proceeds from issuance of a convertible promissory note. Failure to raise additional funding or generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations in the longer term could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

The Company operates in a dynamic high-technology industry. The Company is subject to a number of risks, including the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth; market acceptance of the Company’s offerings; an evolving regulatory environment, advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards litigation or claims against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory or other factors; and the ability to obtain future financing.

The Company’s foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in operating under different legal systems and various political and economic environments. Among the risks are changes in existing income tax and other laws, possible limitations on foreign investment and income repatriation, government pricing or foreign exchange controls, and restrictions on currency exchange.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) outbreak a global pandemic recommending containment measures worldwide. To comply with the recommended containment measures, the Company implemented alternative work arrangements for its employees and limited its employees’ travel activities to protect its employees and to comply with the provisions described within the local shelter in place order. Although some of the governmental restrictions have since been lifted or scaled back, recent and future surges of COVID-19 may result in restrictions being re-implemented by the government in effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations is unknown and will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, the status of health and safety actions taken to contain its spread and any additional preventative and protective actions that governments, or the Company, may direct, any resurgence of COVID-19 that may occur and how quickly and to what extent economic and operating conditions normalize within the markets in which the Company operates. The COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt the operations of the Company’s third-party manufacturers and other suppliers. The Company cannot predict how long the pandemic and measures intended to contain the spread of COVID-19 will continue and what effect COVID-19 and the associated containment measures will have on its suppliers and vendors, in particular for any of the Company’s suppliers and vendors that may not qualify as essential businesses and suffer more significant disruptions to their business operations. The Company is working closely with its manufacturing partners and suppliers to help ensure the Company is able to continue its research and development activities necessary to complete the development of its eVTOL and commence delivery of its services.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June, 2021 and 2020.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of these statement. The accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The most significant estimates are related to the valuation of common stock, stock-based awards, preferred stock, preferred stock warrant and intangible assets acquired and the valuation of and provisions for income taxes and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under related circumstances. The estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has one operating segment because its CODM, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making decisions regarding allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company has no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM for operations, operating results, and planning of components below the consolidated level.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term and long-term debt, redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants and redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants. The carring amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities approximates their fair values due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term debt approximates its fair value as the effective interest rate approximates market rates currently available to the Company. Common stock warrants were initially recorded at the value allocated to them and not subject to remeasurement in subsequent periods. At initial recognition, the Company recorded the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability on the balance sheet at its fair value. The redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability was subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, short-term investments and other receivables. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposited with domestic and foreign financial institutions that are of high-credit quality. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the domestic financial institutions to the extent that cash and cash equivalent deposits are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Foreign cash balances are not insured. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits since inception. Short-term investments consist of government and corporate debt securities and corporate asset backed securities that carry high-credit ratings and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these balances.

 

F-7


The Company’s other receivables are due from a United States government agencies under the Company’s government grant contracts. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 two agencies accounted for 94% and 89% of the Company’s other receivables, respectively. The Company provides for uncollectible amounts when specific credit problems are identified. In doing so, the Company analyzes historical bad debt trends, debtor creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in debtor payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Investment in SummerBio, LLC

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s management determined that certain previously developed technology that was accessible to the Company could be repurposed and applied in providing high-volume rapid COVID-19 testing. To enable the development and deployment of this technology, in May 2020, SummerBio, LLC (“SummerBio”) was established which was 100% beneficially owned by the Company. In August 2020, SummerBio began to generate income through providing the logistical infrastructure for high-volume rapid COVID-19 testing.

In August 2020 SummerBio raised additional financing through issuing equity instruments to related parties, and changed the structure of its board of directors. As a result, the Company’s voting interest became approximately 61.5% and the Company lost the ability to nominate majority of the members of SummerBio’s board of directors. The Company concluded that in August 2020, it lost control over SummerBio as it does not have the ability to direct the decisions that most significantly impact SummerBio’s economic performance, but still maintains significant influence over SummerBio. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the SummerBio and therefore accounts for its investment in SummerBio under the equity method of accounting.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company reviewed its investment in SummerBio for impairment by determining whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. The Company determined that the carrying value of the investment did not exceeds its fair value and, therefore, there are no indicators that its investment in SummerBio is impaired. In making this judgment, the Company considered all quantitative and qualitative evidence available to the Company at the time of the review.

Asset Acquisitions and Business Combinations

Upon an acquisition the Company performs an initial test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets transferred is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, such that the acquisition would not represent a business. If that test suggests that the set of assets and activities is a business, the Company then performs a second test to evaluate whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the result of the second test suggests that the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as a business combination.

For transactions accounted for as business combinations, the Company allocates the fair value of acquisition consideration to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. Acquisition consideration includes the fair value of any promised contingent consideration. The excess of the fair value of acquisition consideration over the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration is remeasured to its fair value each reporting period with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration recorded in general and administrative expenses. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions and subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

For transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions, the cost, including certain transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. The Company generally includes contingent consideration in the cost of the assets acquired only when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company recognizes contingent consideration adjustments to the cost of the acquired assets prospectively using the straight-line method over the remaining useful life of the assets. No goodwill is recognized in asset acquisitions.

 

F-8


Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for a business acquisition exceeds the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill is measured and tested for impairment annually on the last business day of the fiscal fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may exceed its implied fair value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, however the Company may determine to proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test.

If the Company assesses qualitative factors and concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if the Company determines not to use the qualitative assessment, then a quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative impairment test requires comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company has identified that its business operates as a single operating segment which is also a single reporting unit for purposes of testing for goodwill impairment. An impairment exists if the fair value of the reporting unit is lower than its carrying value, and the Company would record a goodwill impairment loss in the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include identifiable intangible assets, primarily software technologies resulting from acquisitions (see Note 4). Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at fair value. The fair value of software technologies is estimated on the basis of replacement cost and the fair value of contractual agreements asset is based primarily on the discounted cash flow model. Software technologies are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 3 to 5 years. The Company’s estimates of useful lives of intangible assets are based on cash flow forecasts which incorporate various assumptions, including forecasted remaining useful life until technological obsolescence of software.

Contractual Agreements

Contractual agreements asset (see Note 4) is classified as other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will amortize the contractual agreements asset in proportion to the estimated incremental cash flows earned under the agreement over an estimated period of three years. The Company expects to begin generating incremental cash flows under the contractual agreements asset in 2024.

The Company reviews the contractual agreements asset for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the contractual agreements asset is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant

The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants require liability classification and accounting as the underlying redeemable convertible preferred stock is considered contingently redeemable and may obligate the Company to transfer assets to the holders at a future date upon occurrence of a deemed liquidation event. The redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants are recorded at fair value upon issuance and are subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with any changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the redeemable convertible preferred stock warrants, occurrence of a deemed liquidation event or conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As such the Company is eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including reduced reporting and extended transition periods to comply with new or revised accounting standards for public business entities. The Company has elected to avail itself of this exemption and, therefore, will not be subject to the timeline for adopting new or revised accounting standards for public business entities that are not emerging growth companies, and will follow the transition guidance applicable to private companies.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which provides clarification to ASU No. 2016-02. These ASUs require an entity to recognize a lease liability and a ROU asset in the balance sheets for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged, while lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance-sheet financing. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which allows entities to elect a modified retrospective transition method where entities may continue to apply the existing lease guidance during the comparative periods and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative effect adjustment in the period of adoptions rather than in the earliest period presented. The Company expects to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liabilities for its lease arrangements upon the adoption of this standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation and modified the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance also establishes (1) a general contract modification principle that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and (2) certain elective hedge accounting expedients. The amendment is effective for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the effect of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments — Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which makes improvements related to the following two topics: (1) accounting for certain equity securities when the equity method of accounting is applied or discontinued, and (2) scope considerations related to forward contracts and purchased options on certain securities. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect this new guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

 

   

Level I — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

 

   

Level II — Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

 

   

Level III — Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

 

F-10


A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial assets consist of Level 1 and 2 assets. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable debt securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because they are valued using either quoted market prices or inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. The Company’s fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company’s marketable debt securities were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar instruments.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of Level III liabilities. The redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in fair value of Level III liabilities are recorded in other income, net.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Note 4. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Uber Elevate

On January 11, 2021, the Company entered into certain agreements with Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”), under which it acquired Uber Elevate, Inc (“Uber Elevate”), a portion of Uber business dedicated to development of aerial ridesharing, issued to Uber a Convertible Promissory Note (“Uber CPN”) and entered into a collaboration agreement with Uber (the “Uber Agreement”).

Uber Elevate was a business incubated within Uber, which had developed multiple proprietary software technologies and built a highly skilled engineering team focused on multimodal ride sharing coordination, connected airspace management, urban transportation and simulation, and certifiable aviation grade battery technology. Uber Elevate acquisition was intended to complement the Company’s existing technologies and expertise necessary to gain integration into the Uber app and progress commercialization of aerial ridesharing services. In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement between the Company, Uber and Uber Elevate (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Company acquired all outstanding common shares of Uber Elevate and certain other assets (see below) in exchange for 2,581,285 shares of the Company’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the Company’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was $30.07 per share, resulting in the total fair value of consideration transferred to Uber of $77.6 million. The fair value of the Company’s Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock was estimated using a multi-scenario option pricing method model, consistent with the approach employed to value the Company’s common stock. This model specifically considered the potential for the conversion of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis in the event of the SPAC transaction closing.

 

F-12


No single identifiable assets or group of similar identifiable assets of Uber Elevate represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. Further, Uber Elevate acquisition included inputs, represented by tangible assets and developed software technologies, and processes, represented by experienced workforce, which together significantly contribute to Uber Elevate’s ability to create outputs, represented by commercialization of aerial ridesharing. The Company concluded that Uber Elevate represents a business, and acquisition of Uber Elevate was accounted as a business combination.

Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, certain employees of Uber Elevate who continued their employment with the Company following the acquisition of Uber Elevate were allowed to retain their unvested Uber RSUs that would otherwise have vested on or prior to December 16, 2021, provided that such employees remain employed by the Company through December 16, 2021 (the “Uber RSU provision”). All RSUs subject to the Uber RSU provision vest on December 16, 2021. This incentive was provided by Uber to such employees to ensure successful integration of Uber Elevate and progress of the development efforts under Uber Agreement (see below). Because Uber is also a holder of pecuniary interest in the Company, the Company concluded that the Uber RSU provision in substance represents non-cash compensation of the Company. The total fair value of the non-cash compensation as of the acquisition date was $7.5 million and will be recognized over the period between the acquisition date and December 16, 2021. $3.7 million was recognized as other non-cash compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2021. $3.3 million and $0.4 million are included in research and development expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.

Uber CPN was issued in exchange for gross proceeds of $75.0 million, which is the note’s face amount. Uber CPN bears interest at simple interest rate of 5% per annum and matures in two years after its issuance. Uber CPN may convert into common or preferred stock of the Company, depending on the occurrence or non-occurrence of various equity financing scenarios, including IPO or a merger with (or acquisition of) a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”). Uber CPN was issued at a premium, as its fair value at issuance was $74.5 million, $0.5 million below its face amount. Because Uber CPN is considered a transaction separate from the business combination, but would not have been entered into absent the business combination, the Company recognized the $0.5 million premium at issuance of Uber CPN as a reduction of the total consideration transferred to Uber for the acquisition of the Uber Elevate.

Under the terms of the Uber Agreement, the Company and Uber agreed to continue focused development of their respective existing technologies to achieve mutual integration of their transportation services offerings to the customers.

The Uber Agreement is intended to provide for the Company and Uber to work together to enable seamless passenger services across their respective businesses and for customers of either company to be able to order the services of the other party via their respective applications. The Uber Agreement includes terms governing the software integration and data-sharing that will be necessary to enable such services across one or both businesses, regardless of the initial platform or combination of services requested by the passenger. As part of the Uber Agreement, the Company commits to continue developing its passenger air mobility services and that Uber’s customers will be able to purchase the Company’s air mobility services from the Uber app. Similarly, Uber commits to enable its customers to order the Company’s services or combined services. The parties also intend to work together to enable Uber to fulfill “last mile” terrestrial ride services to and from the Company’s air mobility services end points. The parties intend to market to their respective customers and generally the availability of the other’s services orderable from their respective applications. The Uber Agreement also includes terms regarding branding to be incorporated into the parties’ respective ride-hailing applications, as well as a management process for the two parties to work together in both the development and commercialization phases contemplated by the agreement. The Uber Agreement further makes clear that each party retains independence in setting the prices for its own services. Finally, the Uber Agreement contains standard and customary intellectual property cross-licensing and intellectual property ownership terms, limitations of liability clauses, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other typical commercial terms.

The Uber Agreement embodies significant benefits to the Company, consisting primarily of customer demand aggregation, improved load factor as well as below market commissions. The fair value of the asset representing these benefits (the “contractual agreements asset”) at inception was $49.5 million. The Company considered whether the Uber Agreement, entered into concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement, is a part of the Uber Elevate business combination, or is a separate transaction. Under ASC 805, a transaction entered into by or on behalf of the acquirer or primarily for the benefit of the acquirer or the combined entity, rather than primarily for the benefit of the acquiree (or its former owners) before the combination, is likely to be a separate transaction. Uber Agreement contains features, which in combination result in significant financial and other benefits primarily to the Company. Accordingly, the Company concluded that Uber Agreement represents a transaction separate from the Uber Elevate acquisition.

Because the Uber Agreement is not a part of the Uber Elevate business combination, the Company used the relative fair value method to allocate the total consideration transferred to Uber between the purchase consideration for acquiring Uber Elevate business and the contractual agreements asset. The Company will amortize the contractual agreements asset in proportion to the estimated incremental cash flows earned under the Uber Agreement over an estimated period of three years. The Company expects to begin generating incremental cash flows under the contractual agreements asset in 2024.

The methodologies used in determining the fair values of Uber Elevate and contractual agreements asset, as well as the respective key assumption, as follows.

Valuation of Uber Elevate— estimated fair value of Uber Elevate was $20.0 million. The Company determined the fair value of Uber Elevate using the asset accumulation method (also known as the net asset method). This method measures the value of equity as the sum of the values of a company’s assets reduced by the sum of the values of its liabilities. Uber Elevate assets included property and equipment, developed software technologies, and the assembled workforce. The Company concluded that the fair value of property and equipment was not materially different from it book value. In determining the fair value of developed software technologies, the Company used the replacement cost approach, under which the Company estimates the fair value based upon the estimated cost of replacing or reproducing the asset, less adjustments for physical deterioration and functional obsolescence, if relevant. The Company based valuation of developed technologies on its estimates of development time and cost by development phase and technology element, which included estimates of engineering costs per person-month for concept development and design, coding, testing and quality control review and operations costs. The Company then added to the total replacement cost an allowance for a fair return on investment during the development period of 35%, based on the peer group weighted average cost of capital analysis. This value is then adjusted for depreciation and/or obsolescence present in each software technology using an age-life calculation, reducing the preliminary values by 23.0% to 37.0% percent, depending on management’s estimate of the age and expected remaining life of the existing software code bases.

The Company based valuation of assembled workforce on its estimates of average cost per employee, which included average annual and monthly salaries, overhead burden and direct recruiting and training costs.

Valuation of the contractual agreements asset— the estimated fair value of the contractual agreements asset was $49.5 million. The Company determined the value of the contractual agreements asset by using the incremental cashflow approach, which involved comparing the Company’s forecasted cash flow with the Uber Elevate assets in place, versus without them in place, and then deducting the estimated fair values of key contributory assets, including developed software technology and the acquired workforce, since the Company’s “with” scenario assumes that those contributory assets are in place as well (the“withand without” method). The forecast model assumes that the contractual agreements asset and acquired Uber Elevate assets will result in incremental cash flow over a three-year period due to lower costs and higher load factors. The Company applied a 25.0% discount rate, which was based upon the cost of capital analysis.

The following table summarizes the allocation of total consideration between Uber Elevate and contractual agreements asset (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Information

Uber Elevate did not generate any revenue prior to its acquisition by the Company. In addition, due to the close proximity of Uber Elevate acquisition date to the beginning of 2021, the pre-acquisition net loss of Uber Elevate was immaterial. Therefore, the pro forma information that presents the combined results of operations for the period presented, as if Uber Elevate was acquired as of the beginning of 2021 is not materially different from the consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Asset Acquisition

On April 6, 2021, the Company completed acquisition of an entity (the “acquiree”) engaged in the development of transportation technology with application in aviation sector, whereby it acquired all the outstanding shares of the acquiree in exchange for a total consideration consisting of (i) $5.0 million in cash, (ii) 774,385 shares of Series C Preferred stock with the aggregate acquisition date fair value of $23.9 million. Upon closing of the acquisition, the acquiree’s former shareholders became employees of the Company. The Series C Preferred shares issued to the former shareholders as part of the total consideration are subject to vesting over six-year period and is contingent on the continued employment of the former shareholders with the Company. In the event of a voluntary termination of the former shareholder’s employment with the Company prior to vesting without a good cause, all of then unvested Series C Preferred shares, issued as part of the total consideration, will be forfeited by such terminated former shareholder. Because the vesting of Series C Preferred shares, issued as part of the total consideration, is contingent upon the former shareholders’ continued employment, such Series C Preferred shares are considered to be a part of the former shareholders’ post-combination compensation expense rather than part of the purchase consideration. Therefore, the fair value of the Series C Preferred shares of $23.9 million will be recognized as a stock-based compensation expense over the six-year vesting term, commencing on acquisition date.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired was represented by a group of similar assets. The purchase consideration of $5.0 million was allocated to the acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets, $0.1 million was allocated to the acquired current liabilities and less then $0.1 million allocated to the acquired current assets. The Company concluded that acquired IPR&D assets are to be used only in specific programs and have no alternative future use if such programs fail to result in a commercialized product. Therefore, the acquired IPR&D assets were written off immediately after acquisition date and reflected as part of research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on management’s assessment, including the advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential losses from any claims or legal proceedings are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations in a given period. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

The Company has indemnified its Board of Directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal. The Company did not record any liabilities in connection with these possible obligations as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 9. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 105,500,526 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock at a par value of $0.00001, with 6,950,729 shares designated as Series Seed-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock, 12,298,893 shares designated as Series Seed-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock, 21,418,756 shares designated as Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, 22,652,737 shares designated as Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock and 42,179,411 shares designated as Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock.

The rights and preferences of holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock are as follows:

Dividends

Holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends prior and in preference to dividends declared on common stock at an annual rate of 8% of the original issuance price per share, adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, when and if declared by the Board of Directors. Payment of any dividends to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock will be on a pro rata, pari passu basis in proportion to the dividend rates for each respective series. After all redeemable convertible preferred stock dividends have been paid, the holders of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors, in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them, on an as-converted basis.

Conversion

Shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into shares of common stock at a rate equal to dividing the original issue price of the relevant series of redeemable convertible preferred stock by the conversion price of $19.3702 for Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock, $4.4383 for Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock, $0.7594 for Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, $0.6167 for Series Seed-2 and Series Seed-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like. The conversion prices are also subject to adjustment upon issuance of additional common stock for a consideration per share less than the applicable conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock. In addition, each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock either (i) upon the completion of a public offering provided the public offering price is not less than $19.3702 per share, as adjusted, aggregate gross proceeds are greater than $100,000,000 and the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange (ii) upon written consent of the holders of at least 60% of the preferred stock outstanding.

Liquidation

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition (whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of assets or change of control of the Company (any of such events representing a “liquidation event”), the holders of shares of each series of redeemable convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of proceeds from such liquidation event to the holders of common stock, the greater of (i) an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable original issuance price for such series of redeemable convertible preferred stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share, or (ii) an amount that would be received by the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock if such shares held by them immediately prior to the liquidation event were converted into the respective number of common shares (regardless of whether such conversion actually takes place), in which case such holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock will not be eligible to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of such series of redeemable convertible preferred stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into common shares.

If the proceeds distributed among the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment in full to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the entire proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

F-19


Upon completion of the distributions made to the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock, all of the remaining proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of common stock held by each such holder.

Voting

The holders of each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock could be converted. With respect to such vote, the holders have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of common stock.

As long as at least 12,000,000 shares of Series C remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the holders of a majority of shares of Series C are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. As long as at least 7,000,000 shares each of Series B and Series A remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the holders of a majority of shares of Series B and Series A, each voting as separate classes, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. As long as at least 7,100,000 shares of Series Seed-1 and Series Seed-2, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, in total the holders of Series Seed-1 and Series Seed-2 remain outstanding, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect one member of the Board of Directors. The holders of common stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors. All remaining members of the Board of Directors, are elected by the holders of preferred stock and common stock, voting together as a single class on and as converted basis.

Redemption

The preferred stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder.

Protective Provisions

As long as at least 30,000,000 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the Company may not, among other things, without the approval of at least 60% of the outstanding redeemable convertible preferred shares: (i) consummate a liquidation event; (ii) make any adjustments to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (iii) increase of decrease the total number of shares of common stock or redeemable convertible preferred stock; (iv) authorize or issue any equity security having a preference over, or being on a parity with, any series of redeemable convertible preferred stock with respect to dividends, liquidation or redemption; (v) redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock or common stock other than for the purpose of repurchasing shares of common stock currently outstanding; (vi) create or authorize creation of any debt in excess of $20,000,000; (vii) materially change the Company’s business plan; (viii) change the number of authorized members of the Board of Directors; (ix) pay or declare any dividends or make any distributions on any shares of capital stock; (x) reclassify, alter or waive any powers, preferences or special rights of the redeemable convertible preferred stock.

As long as at least 12,000,000 shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock remain outstanding, as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or the like, the Company may not, without the approval of at least 60% of the outstanding Series C redeemable convertible preferred shares: (i) make any adjustments to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws so as to adversely alter the rights and preferences of Series C redeemable convertible stockholders; (ii) increase of decrease the total number of shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock; and (iii) issue additional shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock other than those pursuant to the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock purchase agreement.

Note 10. Common Stock Warrants

In connection with the issuance of convertible notes, in March 2017 and May 2018, the Company issued to the note holders warrants to purchase 156,102 and 63,300 shares of common stock, respectively, with exercise prices of $0.10 and $0.67 per share, respectively. The common stock warrants expire in March 2027 and May 2028, respectively, and remain outstanding at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company allocated the proceeds between convertible notes and common stock warrants on a relative fair value basis and recorded the amount allocated to the common stock warrants within additional paid-in capital on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as the common stock warrants met all criteria for equity classification. As the common stock warrants are equity classified, they do not require subsequent remeasurement after issuance.

Note 11. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Warrants

On March 19, 2021 the Company entered into a government grant contract with In-Q-Tel, an independent nonprofit corporation under contract to the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S. Government, under which it receives payments from In-Q-Tel in support of the development of its technology and future services offering. Upon submission of certain specified deliverables over the span of three to five months the Company will receive a total amount of $1.0 million from In-Q-Tel. In connection with entering the government grant contract with In-Q-Tel, Joby issued to In-Q-Tel a warrant for 19,857 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock stock with exercise price of $0.1 per share and a 10-year term (the “In-Q-Tel Warrant”). The fair value of the In-Q-Tel Warrant of $0.6 million was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions: preferred stock fair value $30.33, volatility of 60.2%, risk-free rate of 0.07%, probability weighted average expected term of 1.1 years, and dividend rate of 0%. At issuance the Company recognized deferred cost for the amount of the issuance date fair value of the In-Q-Tel Warrant, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The deferred cost will be amortized to research and development expenses as the Company earns the $1.0 million in government grants from In-Q-Tel.

Note 12. Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 149,793,455 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001. There were 35,693,292 and 35,305,759 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors, and as a consequence, minority stockholders are not able to elect directors on the basis of their votes alone. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock currently outstanding or issued in the future, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no dividends have been declared to date.

The Company had reserved common stock, on an as-converted basis, for future issuance as follows:

Restricted Stock

In 2017, the Company issued 240,000 shares of common stock under restricted stock purchase agreements, which allow the Company to repurchase the unvested shares of common stock if the stockholder ceases to provide services to the Company. The Company’s right to repurchase the stock lapses over ten years. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 146,250 and 158,250 shares of common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase at a weighted average price of $0.1 per share and $0.1 million was recorded as a stock repurchase lability in early exercise stock option liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Common Stock Subject to Repurchase or Cancellation

At incorporation, the Company issued to its then parent entity (the “Former Parent”) 29,382,750 common shares and assumed the substantial majority of the Former Parent’s workforce. The 29,382,750 common shares of the Company were issued to the Former Parent at a one-for-one ratio to the common shares of the Former Parent that were (i) 9,382,750 shares underlying the Former Parent’s common stock options previously issued to its employees (the “Former Parent Options”) at $0.02 per share exercise price, and (ii) 20,000,000 shares underlying restricted stock units issued by the Former Parent to the Company’s chief executive officer (the “Former Parent RSUs”). The Company’s 29,382,750 common shares were issued to the Former Parent in order to achieve the economic effect whereby the then holders of the Former Parent’s common stock, stock options and restricted stock units would have ownership rights to an identical number of common shares of the Company as that to which they are entitled to with respect to the Former Parent’s common shares.

 

F-21


Further, in November 2016 the Company and the Former Parent entered into a stock repurchase agreement with respect to the originally issued 29,382,750 common shares under which the Company would be entitled to repurchase at $0.02 per share or cancel the identical number of common shares issued to the Former Parent which becomes subject to repurchase or cancellation by the Former Parent under the Former Parent Options and Former Parent RSUs if such options and RSUs are unvested when an employee is terminated or vested options expire unexercised. At the time of the Company’s incorporation, 5,451,507 common shares were issued by the Former Parent in respect of early exercises of the Former Parent Options, and 6,944,444 Former Parent RSU were unvested.

Note 13. Stock-based Compensation

2016 Stock Option and Grant Plan

In November 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the Plan) under which officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of the Company or its affiliates may be granted incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

Under the Plan, stock options are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options generally have contractual terms of ten years. Incentive stock options (ISO) may only be granted to employees, whereas all other stock awards may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and other key persons.

Outstanding options generally vest over six years, contain a one-year cliff, are exercisable immediately and, upon early exercise, are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price. If an ISO is granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock, the term of the ISO is five years. Options issued under the Plan must be priced at no less than the fair value of the shares on the date of the grant provided, however, that the exercise price of an option granted to a 10% stockholder is not less than 110% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the exercisability provisions of a stock option agreement at its sole discretion.

The fair value of the RSU’s granted under the plan determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Generally, RSUs have six years vesting period and contractual terms of ten years.

In May 2019, the Company cancelled 2,436,083 non-qualified employee stock options and subsequently re-issued incentive stock options and non-qualified employee stock options for the same total number of options. As part of the re-issuance, the exercise price for majority of shares was increased to fair market value, which the Company determined to be $0.70 per share. The original vesting terms were not changed. The Company accounted for this transaction as a stock option modification and calculated the fair value of the original options immediately prior to the modification and again after the modification occurred using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of the modified options was less than the fair value of the original options immediately before the modification. As a result, no additional stock-based compensation was recognized.

The Company has also allowed certain option holders to exercise unvested options and stock purchase rights to purchase shares of common stock. Common shares received from such early exercises are subject to a right of repurchase at the original issuance price. The Company’s repurchase right with respect to these shares typically lapse over six years as the shares become vested.

Former Parent Plan

The Company concluded that the Former Parent Options and Former Parent RSUs represent in substance stock-based compensation awards of the Company (the “Former Parent Plan”) as they are designed to compensate the Company’s employees. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 305,659 and 608,687 common shares of the Company, respectively were subject to repurchase at $0.02 per share because they related to early exercises of Former Parent Options, and zero shares were subject to repurchase at $0.02 per share because related Former Parent RSUs were fully vested as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Other Stock-based Awards

In 2017, the Company issued 975,000 common stock options outside of the 2016 Option Plan. The options were fully exercised as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and 633,750 and 682,500 shares of common stock, respectively, were subject to repurchase at a weighted average price of $0.1 per share and $0.1 million, was recorded as a stock repurchase lability in early exercised stock option liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company records stock-based compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The absence of a public market for the Company’s common stock requires the Company’s board of directors to estimate the fair value of its common stock for purposes of granting options and for determining stock-based compensation expense by considering several objective and subjective factors, including contemporaneous

 

F-22


third-party valuations, actual and forecasted operating and financial results, market conditions and performance of comparable publicly traded companies, developments and milestones in the Company, the rights and preferences of common and convertible preferred stock, and transactions involving the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined in accordance with the applicable elements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants guide, Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

The following sets forth the total stock-based compensation expense for the Company’s stock options included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Note 14. Related Party Transactions

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and founder has ownership interests in certain vendors providing services to the Company. These services purchased from these vendors include rent of office space and certain utilities and maintenance services related to the property on which the rented premises are located. Expenses and related payments to these vendors totaled $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company owed these vendors $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In addition, during 2020 subsequent to deconsolidation of SummerBio (see Note 2), the Company entered into certain transactions with SummerBio. Expenses and related payments to SummerBio totaled $0.5 million and nil during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total amounts due to SummerBio at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were nil and $0.1 million, respectively.

Note 15. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the six months ended in June 30, 2021 and 2020, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit 99.2 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 16, 2021 and, if not defined in the Form 8-K, in the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement, dated July 16, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the Final Rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to the Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” and presents the combination of the historical financial information of RTP and Joby adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

RTP is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of RTP as of June 30, 2021 and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Joby as of June 30, 2021 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on June 30, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 combines the historical unaudited condensed statement of operations of RTP for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Joby for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical statements of operation of RTP for the period from July 3, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the historical consolidated statement of operations of Joby for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, contemplated by the Merger Agreement, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus:

 

   

the (a) historical audited financial statements of RTP as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 3, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and (b) historical unaudited condensed financial statements of RTP as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021;

 

   

the (a) historical audited consolidated financial statements of Joby as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and (b) historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Joby as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021; and

 

   

other information relating to RTP and Joby included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and incorporated by reference, including the Business Combination Agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth under the section entitled “The Business Combination.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read together with the sections titled “RTP’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Joby’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and other financial information included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and incorporated by reference.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Joby Aviation following the Closing. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

Description of the Transactions

The Domestication, Merger, PIPE Investment and accompanying transactions may be summarized as follows:

 

   

RTP will change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware;

 

   

RTP entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Joby, pursuant to which, among other things, following the Domestication, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into Joby, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Joby will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of RTP, and RTP will be renamed Joby Aviation, Inc.;

 

II-1


   

Upon the consummation of the Merger, Joby’s equityholders will receive or have the right to receive an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of Joby Aviation common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share), which, in the case of Joby Awards, will be shares underlying awards based on Joby Aviation common stock, representing a pre-transaction equity value of Joby of $5.0 billion (such total number of shares of Joby Aviation common stock, the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). Accordingly, an estimated 468,837,874 shares of Joby Aviation common stock will be immediately issued and outstanding, based on Joby’s capital stock balance as of August 3, 2021 and

 

   

An estimated 22,487,113 shares will be reserved for the potential future issuance of Joby Aviation common stock upon the exercise of Joby Aviation Options and an estimated 10,204,260 shares will be reserved for the potential future issuance of Joby Aviation common stock upon the settlement of Joby Aviation RSU Awards based on the following transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

 

   

the conversion of all outstanding Joby Options into options exercisable for shares of Joby Aviation common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using the Exchange Ratio;

 

   

the conversion of all outstanding Joby RSU Awards into awards of restricted stock units based on shares of Joby Aviation common stock with the same terms, except the number of restricted stock units comprising the award will be adjusted using the Exchange Ratio;

 

   

Joby Aviation will issue 7,716,780 shares of Joby Aviation common stock to the holder of the Uber Note (the Uber Note will automatically be converted into a number of shares of Joby capital stock immediately prior to the Merger, which will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive such 7,716,780 shares of Joby Aviation common stock based on the Exchange Ratio);

 

   

Joby Aviation will issue and sell 83,500,000 shares of Joby Aviation common stock at $10.00 per share to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment; and

 

   

17,130,000 shares of Joby Aviation common stock issued as a result of conversion of 17,130,000 Class B ordinary shares of RTP owned by the Sponsor in the Domestication will be immediately subject to the certain vesting provisions (such shares further referred to as “Sponsor Shares”).

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, RTP is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Joby Aviation will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Joby, with the Business Combination being treated as the equivalent of Joby issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded, net assets of RTP being presented at historical costs. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Joby.

The unvested Sponsor Shares are expected be classified as a liability measured at fair value as at the date of the Merger, subject to subsequent remeasurement at each reporting date until the liability is settled in accordance with the vesting terms or the expiration of the Measurement Period. All outstanding capital stock of Joby, including shares issued as a result of the automatic exercise of SVB Warrants and In-Q-Tel Warrants and the automatic conversion of the Uber Note, will be converted into shares of common stock of Joby Aviation, with the corresponding increase in the par value of common stock being recognized against additional paid-in capital. Outstanding vested and unvested share-based awards of Joby (including options and RSUs) will be converted into the right to exercise such awards for common shares of Joby Aviation, adjusted proportionately based on the Exchange Ratio. Because no terms of such share-based awards are modified upon consummation of the Business Combination, no accounting impact for such outstanding awards is expected. Public and private warrants of RTP are not expected to be modified as a result of the Business Combination, resulting in no accounting impact upon consummation of Business Combination.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the Final Rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information of Joby Aviation upon consummation of the Business Combination and other events contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes.

 

II-2


The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination occurred on the dates indicated. Any additional Business Combination proceeds remaining after the payment of underwriter fees and payment of transaction costs related to the Merger are expected to be used for other general corporate purposes. Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Joby Aviation following the completion of the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. RTP and Joby have not had any historical relationship prior to the transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects RTP stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination on August 5, 2021, and that RTP’s public stockholders holding 42,416,710 shares have elected to redeem their shares prior to the Closing.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Reinvent Technology Partners, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“RTP”), will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on Joby Aero, Inc. (“Joby”) Stockholders comprising a relative majority of the voting power of Joby Aviation (the combined entity) and having the ability to nominate majority of the members of the Joby Aviation Board, Joby’s operations prior to the acquisition comprising the only ongoing operations of Joby Aviation, and Joby’s senior management comprising the senior management of Joby Aviation. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of Joby Aviation will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Joby with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Joby issuing stock for the net assets of RTP, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of RTP will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be presented as those of Joby in future reports of Joby Aviation.

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments based on information available as of the date of this prospectus. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented as additional information becomes available. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

2.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

(A) Reflects the reclassification of Class A ordinary shares of RTP subject to possible redemption to permanent equity immediately prior to the Merger.

(B) Reflects the liquidation and reclassification of $690.0 million of investments held in the Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents that becomes available for general use by Joby Aviation following the Merger.

(C) Reflects the payment of $0.2 million of deferred legal fees incurred during RTP’s initial public offering due upon completion of the Merger.

(D) Reflects the payment of $24.2 million of deferred underwriting commission incurred during RTP’s initial public offering due upon completion of the Merger.

(E) Reflects the gross proceeds of $835.0 million from the issuance and sale of 83.5 million shares of Joby Aviation common stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the PIPE Investment entered into with PIPE Investors.

(F) Reflects recognition of derivative liability related to the Sponsor Shares subject to vesting upon completion of the Merger. The Sponsor Shares are subject to a vesting schedule with 20% of the Sponsor Shares vesting in tranches when the VWAP of the Joby Aviation common stock is greater than $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $32.00 and $50.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days. After 10 years following the Closing, the Sponsor agrees to forfeit any Sponsor Shares which have not yet vested. Upon completion of the Merger, the Sponsor Shares will contain certain features, which will require these shares be classified as a liability initially and subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes in the fair value reflected in earnings, until the vesting conditions for such shares are met or expire. The fair value of the Sponsor Shares is determined by using the Monte-Carlo Simulation approach, which estimates the number of Sponsor Shares expected to vest and their value based on a simulation of the post-combination company’s common stock price in the future. The change in the per share market price of the post-combination company’s common stock would have a respective proportional impact on the per share value of the Sponsor Shares. A 10% increase in the per share market price of the post-combination company’s common stock would cause the fair value of the derivative liability related to the Sponsor Shares to increase by approximately $17.6 million. A 10% decrease in the per share market price of the post-combination company’s common stock would cause the fair value of the derivative liability related to the Sponsor Shares to decrease by approximately $16.7 million.

 

II-8


(G) Reflects the conversion of 69,000,000 RTP Class A ordinary shares and 17,250,000 RTP Class B ordinary shares into shares of common stock of Joby Aviation assuming no redemptions and following the change of jurisdiction of incorporation from Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware.

(H) Reflects the redemption of 42,416,710 RTP Class A ordinary shares for $424.2 million allocated to RTP Class A ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital using par value $0.0001 per share at a redemption price of $10.00 per share.

(I) Reflects the impact of the redemption of 42,416,710 RTP Class A ordinary shares, as per adjustment (H) above, prior to the conversion of the remaining Class A ordinary shares of RTP into shares of common stock of Joby Aviation, as per adjustment (G) above.

(J) Reflects the recapitalization of common shares between Joby common stock and Joby Aviation common stock.

(K) Reflects conversion of Uber Note principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest into a number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in accordance with its terms and immediate conversion of the Series C Preferred stock into an identical number of common shares of Joby Aviation.

(L) Reflects exchange of Joby’s 99,608,293 shares of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock for common stock of Joby Aviation with $0.0001 par value.

(M) Represents estimated direct and incremental transaction costs to be incurred by Joby related to the Merger of approximately $44.4 million for advisory, banking, printing, legal and accounting.

(N) Reflects cashless conversion of SVB Warrants into 217,729 shares of Joby’s common stock.

(O) Represents the payment of preliminary estimated direct and incremental transaction costs detailed at adjustment (M), and accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, incurred in connection with the direct and incremental transaction costs as of June 30, 2021.

(P) Represents preliminary estimated direct and incremental offering costs incurred by RTP of approximately $6.9 million in advisory, banking, printing, legal, and accounting fees and $1.0 million in other transaction related expenses in connection with the Transaction and PIPE financing.

(Q) Reflects the elimination of historical earnings of RTP.

(R) Reflects issuance of In-Q-Tel Warrant issued in March 2021 and its conversion to 19,851 shares of common stock prior to the Merger.

(S) Reflects reclassification of deferred offering costs incurred by Joby to additional paid-in capital upon closing of the Merger.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are as follows:

(AA) Represents the elimination of investment income related to the investments held in the RTP Trust Account.

 

3.

Net Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination and other related events, assuming such additional shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2020, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire periods presented.

 

II-9


Because the Sponsor Shares are contingently issuable based upon the share price of Joby Aviation reaching specified thresholds that have not been achieved, the Sponsor Shares have been excluded from basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share. Additionally, 8,797,780 shares of Joby Aviation common stock related to the conversion of all outstanding shares of Joby unvested restricted stock awards and early exercised stock options subject to repurchase were excluded from basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the following information:
