This Final Amendment relates to the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Statement") originally filed on March 24, 2026 by Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp. (the "Company") in connection with an offer by the Company (the "Offer") to purchase up to 2,437,463.588 of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share including Class I shares of common stock, Class D shares of common stock, and Class S shares of common stock, collectively, (the "Shares") at a price equal to the net asset value per Share of the applicable Class as of March 31, 2026 (the "Valuation Date"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(ii) to the Statement (the "Offer to Purchase").
This is the Final Amendment to the Statement and is being filed to report the results of the Offer. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.
The following information is furnished pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(4):
Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Statement, as amended, and the Transmittal Letter remains unchanged and this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Statement, as amended, or the Transmittal Letter.
For the first time since the Company's inception, total repurchase requests for the quarter exceeded the 5% of shares typically available for repurchase. Consistent with the Company's governing documents, the Company intends to fulfill requests up to 5% of NAV; each redeeming investor is estimated to receive approximately 50% of the Shares tendered, after disregarding fractions.
The Company's perpetually private structure and 5% quarterly redemption cap were intentionally designed to provide investors with access to a portfolio of senior secured loans to defensive, high-quality enterprise B2B software borrowers, while enabling investors to subscribe and redeem at NAV. The quarterly liquidity framework, including the 5% redemption cap, is duration-matched to the underlying portfolio, aligning investor liquidity with the natural realization profile of the Company's assets
The Company maintains a commitment to act in a way that it believes is aligned with the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders, including the overwhelming majority of Stockholders who remain invested, as well as our lenders. The Company's redemption cap provides an orderly liquidity mechanism that honors the interests of redeeming investors while preserving the long-term value of the portfolio and maintaining strong performance for all investors who remain invested.
The Company's portfolio remains fundamentally strong, with 100% of investments performing at or above underwriting expectations and zero non-accruals. With the majority of the portfolio deployed in 2024-2025, we believe the Company represents an attractive vintage, built during a period of elevated base rates and
disciplined market conditions, and that its performance to date reflects Vista Credit Partners's specialist approach to mission-critical software businesses with recurring revenue and durable cash flows, driving consistent income generation and a ~10% distribution yield in 2025.
The Company is similarly well-positioned from a liquidity perspective. Net flows into the Company remain positive for Q1 2026 following a record $360 million of net inflows in Q4 2025. Liquidity is further supported by a combination of cash and liquid assets, uncalled investor capital, available debt capacity, and ongoing portfolio cash generation, together providing meaningful flexibility to meet obligations. Taken together, we believe the Company is well positioned to navigate the current redemption environment while continuing to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Company remains focused on disciplined portfolio management and prudent liquidity oversight in order to support both near-term investor needs and long-term value creation.
