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

3

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.

12

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.

4/20/2020		1,736,750	—

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.
