What Happened
- Eric Allison, Chief Product Officer of Joby Aviation (JOBY), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and converted/settled a total of 18,100 RSUs into shares on April 1, 2026. The filing shows those conversions as "exercise or conversion of derivative" at $0.00 per share (RSUs convert to common stock upon vesting).

Context
- These were RSU settlements (not option exercises with cash strike). The conversion is essentially receiving shares as they vest; selling a portion to cover tax withholding is common and routine, not necessarily an investment sentiment signal.
- For retail investors, note that the meaningful action here was a routine tax-cover sale of about half the vested shares (9,350 of 18,100), generating ~$76k in proceeds.
