Joby (JOBY) Chief Legal Officer Kate DeHoff Exercises RSUs, Sells Shares
What Happened
Kate DeHoff, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of Joby Aviation (JOBY), reported RSU settlements and a subsequent open-market sale. On July 1, 2026 she had three RSU conversions (5,224; 8,306; 5,046) totaling 18,576 shares (reported as exercise/conversion, code M, $0.00).

Context
- Code M here reflects the conversion/settlement of RSUs (not an option purchase). The $0 acquisition price is normal for RSU settlements—value is taxed when they vest.
- The matching $0 "disposed" entries represent tax withholding (company retaining/selling shares to cover taxes), per footnote F1 — effectively a cashless/net settlement for taxes.
- The separate open-market sale of 9,575 shares generated proceeds of $85,409; routine sales to cover taxes or diversify holdings are common and do not by themselves indicate insider confidence or lack thereof.
