Thompson Michael N. Jr. 4

What Happened
Michael N. Thompson Jr., a director of Joby Aviation, was awarded 1,497 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) on April 5, 2026. The Form 4 reports an acquisition price of $0.00 per share (typical for RSU grants). These RSUs are fully vested on the grant date, and the reporting person elected to defer receipt of the underlying shares under the company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Program.

Context
This was an award/grant (compensation) rather than an open-market purchase or sale, so it does not directly signal buying or selling activity by the insider. Deferred, vested RSUs are a common form of director compensation; the reporting person did not immediately receive shares in hand but elected deferral per the director plan.
