Summary
Cerberus announced through a PRNewswire-distributed release that certain funds and accounts managed by Cerberus entered into a definitive agreement for Joby Aviation to acquire Resonant Sciences. The release says Cerberus-managed funds invested in Resonant in 2023 through Cerberus’s Supply Chain platform.
This draft treats the release as the controlling source. Transaction status, Cerberus-managed funds/accounts language, Supply Chain platform references, and Resonant’s aerospace and defense descriptions should remain attributed to the announcement rather than presented as independent 9AT validation.
Why it matters
For due-diligence readers, the useful signal is that Cerberus is publicly reporting a private-company exit agreement involving Resonant Sciences and Joby Aviation. The item can help readers track Cerberus-managed capital activity around supply-chain, aerospace, defense, and industrial-technology themes.
The signal is bounded. The source does not provide transaction value, ownership percentage, expected return, customer details, regulatory outcomes, post-close performance, or investment merit. It also should not be used to draw broad conclusions about defense-sector exposure beyond what the announcement itself says.

9AT filing context
Public adviser-profile records identify Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. as an SEC-registered adviser profile with CRD 152175 / SEC file 801-70989. That context can support entity scoping between the public source and the Cerberus manager lane.
The filing context is intentionally narrow. It should not be used to validate the reported sale agreement, transaction terms, operating claims, defense or national-security significance, fund-level ownership, customer exposure, investment results, or future outcomes.
No 13F or Form 5500 context is recommended. Public-equity holdings and employee-benefit plan records do not explain this private-company sale agreement.
What to watch
Watch for future Cerberus, Joby Aviation, Resonant Sciences, regulatory, closing, or transaction-party disclosures that confirm closing, clarify the acquired business, identify any transaction terms, or explain post-close operating roles.
Future coverage should keep defense, aerospace, supply-chain, customer, valuation, and performance claims tied to fresh public sources rather than inferring them from the press release or from adviser-profile context.
