FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp., our current and prospective portfolio investments, our industry, our beliefs and opinions and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “may,” “continue,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “potential,” “predicts” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including without limitation:

fluctuations in our operating results;
our ability to source investment opportunities;
our inability to control the business operations of our portfolio companies, and potential inability to dispose of our interests in our portfolio companies;
the timing of cash flows, if any, from the operations of our portfolio companies;
our use of borrowed money to finance a portion of our investments;
provisions of a credit facility or other borrowings that may limit discretion in operating our business;
the impact of changes in interest rates;
the impact of competition for investment opportunities;
our dependence on the ability of Vista Credit BDC Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”) to manage and support our investment process;
the valuation of our investments in portfolio companies, particularly those having no liquid trading market;
actual and potential conflicts of interest with our Adviser;
our access to confidential information which may restrict our ability to take action with respect to some investments;
restrictions on our ability to enter into transactions with our affiliates;
the ability of the Adviser or their respective affiliates to attract and retain highly talented professionals;
our ability to qualify and maintain our qualification as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) and as a business development company;
regulations governing our operations as a business development company and RIC which impact our ability to raise capital or borrow for investment purposes;
the impact of global economic, political and market conditions, including the risks of a slowing economy, rising inflation, tariffs and trade disputes with other countries and risk of recession;

1.
ORGANIZATION

Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland and was formed on March 15, 2022, its date of inception (“Inception Date”). The Company is structured as a closed-end management investment company. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, the Company has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company is externally managed by Vista Credit BDC Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”), an investment adviser that is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser provides the administrative services necessary for the Company to operate pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”). The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of VEP Group, LLC (together with its affiliates, including Vista Credit Partners, L.P., “Vista”).

The Company is conducting a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of its shares of common stock to accredited investors, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S or Regulation D under the 1933 Act, in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. The Company is a privately placed, perpetual-life BDC, which is a BDC whose shares are not listed for trading on a stock exchange or other securities market. Each investor in the Private Offering makes a capital commitment (a “Capital Commitment”) to purchase shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to a subscription agreement entered into with the Company. Stockholders will be required to fund drawdowns to purchase the Company’s shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitments on an as-needed basis each time the Company delivers a notice to the Stockholders. On June 16, 2023, the Adviser purchased 1,250 shares of the Company’s common stock at $20.00 per share. On September 8, 2023, the Company began accepting subscription agreements from third-party investors acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock in the Private Offering.

The Company invests in “middle market companies,” which the Company defines to generally mean companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of less than $250 million annually and/or annual revenue of $25 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment, in the enterprise software, data and technology-enabled business sectors. The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of investments that primarily consists of senior or subordinated debt, preferred stock or other interests senior to common equity as well as equity securities (or rights to acquire equity securities) acquired in connection with debt financing transactions in management buyouts, recapitalizations and other opportunities.

 

On June 30, 2025, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to its charter with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (“SDAT”) to rename and redesignate the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, as Class I Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class I Common Stock”). The Articles of Amendment became effective on June 30, 2025.

Also on June 30, 2025, the Company filed with SDAT Articles Supplementary (the “Articles Supplementary”) to its charter, pursuant to which the Company reclassified and redesignated (i) 50,000,000 shares of Class I Common Stock as shares of Class S Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class S Common Stock"), and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of Class I Common Stock as shares of Class D Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class D Common Stock"). The Articles Supplementary became effective on June 30, 2025, immediately after the effectiveness of the Articles of Amendment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 1,184,729.176 and 13,151,824.683 shares of Class I Common Stock, respectively, and 3,138,621.254 and 3,138,621.254 shares of Class S Common Stock, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there were 26,558,209.938 shares of Class I Common Stock outstanding and 3,138,621.254 shares of Class S Common Stock outstanding. No shares of Class D Common Stock were issued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and no shares of Class D Common Stock were outstanding at September 30, 2025.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included.

The Company is an investment company for the purposes of accounting and financial reporting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies (“ASC 946”).

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Articles 6 or 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods presented, have been included. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Consolidation

As provided under ASC 946 and Regulation S-X, the Company will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than an investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the results of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, BDC CA Lender, LLC, VCSL Funding 1 LLC (“VCSL Funding 1”) and VCSL Funding 2 LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Investments

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized appreciation or depreciation previously recognized, and includes investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments as presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects the net change in the fair value of investments, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation or depreciation when gains or losses are realized. See Note 3. Fair Value Measurements, for further information about fair value measurements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and highly liquid investments (e.g., money market funds, U.S. treasury notes) with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are denominated in U.S. dollars and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with highly-rated banking corporations and, at times, cash deposits may exceed the insured limits under applicable law.

 

Restricted cash and cash equivalents include amounts that are collected and are held by trustees who have been appointed as custodians of the assets securing certain of the Company’s financing transactions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents are held by the trustees for payment of interest expense and principal on the outstanding borrowings or reinvestment into new assets. Restricted cash also includes amounts for capital received in advance of the closing date.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. Discounts from and premiums to par value on investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. To the extent loans contain PIK provisions, PIK interest, computed at the contractual rates, is accrued, recorded as interest income and added to the principal balance of the loan. PIK interest income added to the principal balance is generally collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was one loan in the portfolio that earned PIK income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned $52 and $344 of PIK interest income, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned $51 and $102 of PIK interest income, respectively.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when interest and/or principal payments become materially past due and there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Recognition of interest income of that loan will be ceased until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, the Company remains contractually entitled to this interest. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon the Company’s judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be collected in full and, in the Company’s judgment, are likely to remain current. The Company may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value or is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected, and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. The Company did not have any loans on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, underwriting, arranger and prepayment fees associated with the Company’s investment activities as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by the Company to the portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned $112 and $1,192, respectively, in other income, primarily from unused fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned $86 and $345, respectively, in other income, primarily from unused fees.

Dividend income on preferred equity is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. To the extent a preferred equity contains PIK provisions, PIK dividends, computed at the contractual rates, are accrued, recorded as dividend income and added to the principal balance of the preferred equity. PIK dividends added to the principal balance are generally collected upon redemption of the equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned $201 and $585, respectively, in dividend income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company earned $292 and $292, respectively, in dividend income.

Offering Costs

Offering costs associated with the Private Offering and in excess of the Expense Support Agreement (defined below in Note 4. Related Party Transactions) will be borne by the Company. These offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering costs on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over a twelve-month period. These costs consist primarily of legal fees and other fees incurred in connection with the Private Offering. Refer to Note 4. Related Party Transactions for further details on the Expense Support Agreement.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $77 and $370 of offering costs, and amortized $153 and $260 of offering costs, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $92 and $239 of offering costs, and amortized $649 and $1,918 of offering costs, respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs, Interest Expense, and Credit Facility Fees

Interest expense and unused commitment fees on the Company’s borrowings are recorded on an accrual basis. Unused commitment fees are included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred financing costs represent capitalized fees and other direct incremental costs incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowings. These amounts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the credit facility. The unamortized balance of such costs is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and credit facility fees in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $3,880 and $2,867 of unamortized deferred financing costs, respectively. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $592 and $1,417, respectively. Amortization expense for deferred financing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $409 and $857, respectively.

Expenses

The Company is responsible for software costs, insurance costs and other expenses related to the Company’s operations. Such expenses, including expenses incurred and paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Company, are generally expected to be reimbursed by the Company. Costs incurred for annual subscriptions and insurance policies are generally recorded as a deferred charge and are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the subscription or policy period. Deferred costs related to the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class of Common Stock), gains and losses are allocated to each class of Common Stock based on the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class of Common Stock are charged against the operations of that class.

Distributions

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each class of Common Stock, the net distribution for each class of Common Stock is reduced for any class-specific expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if any.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. So long as the Company maintains its status as a RIC, it generally will not pay corporate-level U.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes at least annually to its stockholders as dividends. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by the Company would represent obligations of the Company’s investors.

To qualify for and maintain qualification as a RIC, the Company must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, the Company must also annually distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to its stockholders out of the assets legally available for distribution of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.

VISTA CREDIT STRATEGIC LENDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, the Company can be expected to carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year dividend distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that the Company determines that the estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, the Company accrues excise tax on estimated excess taxable income.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reserved and recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Functional Currency

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar, and all transactions were in U.S. Dollars.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per common share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing the net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations attributable to common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.

 

Segment Reporting

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), the Company has determined that it has a single operating and reporting segment. As a result, the Company’s segment accounting policies are the same as described herein and the Company does not have any intra-segment sales or transfers of assets.

3.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company applies fair value accounting in accordance with the terms of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as amended, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company considers its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. For certain investments structured as interests in limited partnerships, the Company applies the practical expedient, or net asset value method, to determine the fair value of such investments.

The Adviser, as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines in good faith the fair value of the Company’s investment portfolio for which market quotations are not readily available. In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Adviser will apply a valuation policy approved by the Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, the Company evaluates the source of the inputs, including any markets in which the Company’s investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When an investment is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), the Company subjects those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, the Company, or the independent valuation firm(s), reviews pricing support provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If the Company were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfers occur. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was one transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 that was a result of changes in the observability of significant inputs for these portfolio companies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were four and five transfers, respectively, from Level 3 to Level 2 that were a result of changes in the observability of significant inputs for these portfolio companies.

The Company generally uses the following framework when determining the fair value of investments that are categorized as Level 3:

The Company’s Board has appointed the Adviser as its valuation designee, in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The fair value is determined by the Adviser’s valuation committee, subject to oversight by the Board, consistent with a documented valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process. In connection with that determination, investment valuations will be prepared using ranges of valuations obtained from independent valuation firms, and/or proprietary models depending on the materiality of the investments, the availability of information on the Company’s investments and the type of investment being valued, all in accordance with the Company’s valuation policy.

 

Determination of fair value of Level 3 debt and equity investments involves subjective judgments and estimates. As part of the valuation process, the factors that may be taken into account in determining the fair value of the Company’s investments, include, as relevant: the estimated enterprise value of a portfolio company (i.e., the total fair value of the portfolio company’s debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments based on its earnings and cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, a comparison of the portfolio company’s securities to any similar publicly traded securities, and overall changes in the interest rate environment and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Adviser’s valuation committee will consider whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its valuation.

 

The primary method for determining enterprise value uses a multiple analysis whereby appropriate multiples are applied to the portfolio company’s net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). A portfolio company’s EBITDA can include pro forma adjustments for items such as acquisitions, divestitures, or expense reductions. The Adviser may also employ other valuation multiples to determine enterprise value, such as revenues. The Adviser carefully considers numerous factors when selecting the appropriate companies whose multiples are used to value the Company’s portfolio companies. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type of organization, similarity to the business being valued, relevant risk factors, as well as size, profitability and growth expectations. The enterprise value analysis is performed to determine the value of equity investments and to determine if debt investments are credit impaired.

 

If debt investments are credit impaired, the Adviser will use the enterprise value analysis or a liquidation basis analysis to determine fair value. For debt investments that are not determined to be credit impaired, the Adviser uses a

29


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

market interest rate yield analysis to determine fair value. In addition, for certain debt investments, the Adviser bases its valuation on indicative bid and ask prices provided by an independent third party pricing service. Bid prices reflect the highest price that the Company and others could be willing to pay. Ask prices represent the lowest price that the Company and others could be willing to accept. The Adviser generally uses the midpoint of the bid/ask range as its best estimate of fair value of such investment.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investments in first-lien debt securities and preferred equity investments are discount rates and transaction prices. Significant increases in discount rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Significant decreases in transactions prices in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

 

The significant unobservable input used in the market approach for equity securities is the performance multiple, which may include a revenue multiple, EBITDA multiple, or forward-looking metrics. The multiple is used to estimate the enterprise value of the underlying investment. An increase or decrease in the multiple would result in an increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value.

Secured borrowings as of September 30, 2025 consist of borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility, the DB Credit Facility, and/or the ING Credit Facility (each as defined in Note 5. Borrowings). Secured borrowings as of December 31, 2024 consist of borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility and the DB Credit Facility. Given the underlying interest rate on any secured borrowing is based on an underlying index that resets on a periodic basis, the carrying values of the secured borrowings approximate fair value. Secured borrowings are categorized as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value based on the short term nature of these items.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Investment Advisory Agreement

On June 16, 2023, the Company entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser will manage the Company’s investment program and related activities. The Board most recently approved the Investment Advisory Agreement in May 2025. For providing these services, the Adviser will receive fees from the Company consisting of two components: (1) a Management Fee and (2) an Incentive Fee (both as described below). The cost of the Management Fee and the Incentive Fee will ultimately be borne by the Company’s stockholders. No Management Fee or Incentive Fee was payable to the Adviser until the commencement of investment activities. Without payment of any penalty, the Company will have the right to terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice.

The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Company’s net asset value as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. Such amount shall be appropriately adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuances or repurchases during a calendar quarter. In addition, the Management Fee for any partial quarter shall be appropriately prorated. For the purposes of the Investment Advisory Agreement, “net assets” means the Company’s total assets less indebtedness and before taking into account any incentive fees payable during the period. The Management Fee incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1,735 and $3,642, respectively. The Management Fee incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $515 and $1,134, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1,735 and $632, respectively, remain payable.

The Incentive Fee consists of two components: the investment income component (the “Investment Income Incentive Fee”), and the capital gains component (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”). The two components are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not.

(i)
Investment Income Incentive Fee

The Investment Income Incentive Fee is calculated quarterly in arrears based on pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. “Pre-incentive fee net investment income” means dividends (including reinvested dividends), interest and fee income accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable to the Adviser under the Administration Agreement and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-incentive fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with PIK and zero-coupon securities), accrued income

31


Table of Contents

VISTA CREDIT STRATEGIC LENDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

that the Company may not have received in cash. Pre-incentive fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.

Pre-incentive fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding quarter, is compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.25% per quarter (5.0% annualized).

The Company will pay the Adviser an Investment Income Incentive Fee in each calendar quarter as follows:

No Investment Income Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.25% per quarter (5.00% annualized);
100% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.43% (5.72% annualized). This portion of the pre-incentive fee net investment income (which exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 1.43%) is referred to as the “catch-up”; and
12.5% of the Company’s pre-incentive fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds 1.43% (5.72% annualized).

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred an Investment Income Incentive Fee of $1,866 and $3,747, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred an Investment Income Incentive Fee of $408 and $628, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1,866 and $578, respectively, remain payable.

(ii)
Capital Gains Incentive Fee

The second component of the Incentive Fee, the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, is payable in arrears at the end of each calendar year in an amount equal to 12.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from initial drawdown through the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fees.

The Company will accrue, but will not pay, a Capital Gains Incentive Fee with respect to aggregate unrealized appreciation on investments because a Capital Gains Incentive Fee would be owed to the Adviser if the Company were to sell the relevant investments and realize a capital gain. If the Capital Gains Incentive Fee base, adjusted to include unrealized capital appreciation, is positive at the end of a period, then the Company will accrue a Capital Gains Incentive Fee equal to 12.5% of such amount, less the aggregate amount of the actual Capital Gains Incentive Fees paid and Capital Gains Incentive Fees accrued in all prior periods. If such amount is negative, then there is no accrual for such period. The resulting accrual in a given period may result in additional expense if such cumulative amount is greater than in the prior period or a reversal of previously recorded expense if such cumulative amount is less than in the prior period. There can be no assurance that such unrealized capital appreciation will be realized in the future. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued a Capital Gains Incentive Fee of $21 and $62, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a reversal in the Capital Gains Incentive Fee of $(68) and $(23), respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was a $370 and $307, respectively, of Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable, none of which is contractually payable under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required by U.S. GAAP to record an investment at its fair value as of the time of acquisition instead of at the actual amount paid for such investment (including, for example, as a result of the application of the asset acquisition method of accounting), then solely for the purposes of calculating the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, the “accreted or amortized cost basis” of an investment shall be an amount (the “Contractual Cost Basis”) equal to (1) (x) the actual amount paid by the Company for such investment plus (y) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by U.S. GAAP that are attributable to the accretion of such investment plus (z) any other adjustments made to the cost basis included in the Company’s financial statements, including payment-in-kind interest or additional amounts funded (net of repayments) minus (2) any amounts recorded in the Company’s financial statements as required by U.S. GAAP that are attributable to the amortization of such investment, whether such calculated Contractual Cost Basis is higher or lower than the fair value of such investment (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) at the time of acquisition.

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The fees that are payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $3,623 and $7,452 of management and incentive fees were incurred, respectively, and $3,971 remains payable as of September 30, 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, $855 and $1,739 of management fees and incentive fees were incurred, respectively.

Administration Agreement

On June 16, 2023, the Company entered into the Administration Agreement with its Adviser. The Administration Agreement was most recently approved by the Board in May 2025. Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Adviser will perform, or oversee the performance of, administrative services, which includes, but is not limited to, providing office facilities, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to stockholders and the Board and reports filed with the SEC, managing the payment of expenses, providing significant managerial assistance to those portfolio companies to which the Company is required to provide such assistance, assisting the Company in determining and publishing (as necessary or appropriate) the Company’s net asset value and overseeing the preparation and filing of the Company’s tax returns and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others, which could include employees of the Adviser or its affiliates. The Company will reimburse the Adviser (and/or one or more of its affiliates) costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser for services performed for the Company pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Adviser may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate and/or to a third party and the Company will reimburse the Adviser (or its affiliate(s)) for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party. To the extent that the Adviser outsources any of its functions, the Company will pay the fees associated with such functions on a direct basis without profit to the Adviser. The Company will bear its allocable portion of the costs of the compensation, benefits, administrative expenses (including travel expenses in accordance with the Adviser’s travel and expense policy) and related overhead expenses of the Company’s officers who provide operational, administrative, legal, compliance, finance and accounting services hereunder, their respective staffs and other professionals who are employed by any of the Adviser’s affiliates that provide services to the Company, and who assist with the preparation, coordination and administration of the foregoing or provide other “back office” or “middle office” financial or operational services to the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Adviser (or its affiliate(s)) for an allocable portion of the compensation (including benefits) and overhead paid by the Adviser (or its affiliate(s)) to such individuals. The Administration Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice to the other party.

Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Adviser agreed to voluntarily waive costs and expenses reimbursable by the Company to the Adviser under the Administration Agreement to the extent such costs and expenses exceed an amount equal to 15 basis points (annualized) of the weighted average fair value of the Company’s total investments for such period.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $399 and $1,047, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, of which $24 and $212, respectively, were waived by the Adviser. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $318 and $1,125, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement, of which $198 and $198, respectively, were waived by the Adviser. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $388 and $275, respectively, was unpaid and included in administrative service fees payable in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Stockholder Servicing and/or Distribution Fees

On June 24, 2025, the Company’s Board adopted a multi-class plan (the “Multi-Class Plan”) in accordance with Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act and a distribution and stockholder servicing plan (the “Distribution and Stockholder Servicing Plan”). The primary difference among the Common Stock classes relates to ongoing stockholder servicing and/or distribution fees. There will be no upfront transaction fees paid with respect to Class I Common Stock, Class S Common Stock or Class D Common Stock. However, if shareholders purchase Class S Common Stock or Class D Common Stock through certain financial intermediaries, brokers, advisers or other selling agents (collectively, “Selling Agents”), they may directly charge shareholders transaction or other fees, including upfront placement fees or brokerage commissions (collectively, an “Upfront Sales Load”), in such amount as they may determine, provided that Selling Agents limit such charges to a 3.5% cap on NAV for Class S Common Stock and a 1.5% cap on NAV for Class D Common Stock. Selling Agents may not charge an Upfront Sales Load on Class I Common Stock. The Selling Agents will be entitled to receive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees monthly in arrears at an annual rate of 0.85% and 0.25% of the value of the

33

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

Company’s net assets attributable to Class S and Class D Common Stock, respectively, as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month. No shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be paid with respect to Class I Common Stock. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees will be payable to the Company, but the Company anticipates that all of the shareholder servicing fees and/or distribution fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating Selling Agents. The stockholder servicing and/or distribution fees are ongoing fees that are paid out of our assets attributable to those classes on an ongoing basis related to Class S Common Stock or Class D Common Stock.

 

Distribution and Servicing Plan

On June 24, 2025, the Board approved the Distribution and Stockholder Servicing Plan. The following table shows the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees the Company pays the intermediary manager with respect to the Common Stock on an annualized basis as a percentage of the Company’s NAV for such class.

The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are paid monthly in arrears, calculated using the NAV of the applicable class as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month and subject to FINRA and other limitations on underwriting compensation.

The Company will reallow (pay) all of the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to participating brokers and servicing brokers for ongoing shareholder services performed by such brokers, and will waive shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees to the extent a broker is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. Because the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees with respect to Class S Common Stock and Class D Common Stock are calculated based on the aggregate NAV for all of the outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.

Eligibility to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees is conditioned on a broker providing the following ongoing services with respect to the Class S Common Stock or Class D Common Stock: assistance with recordkeeping, answering investor inquiries regarding the Company, including regarding distribution payments and reinvestments, helping investors understand their investments upon their request, and assistance with share repurchase requests. If the applicable broker is not eligible to receive the shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees due to failure to provide these services, the Company will waive the shareholder servicing fee and/or distribution that broker would have otherwise been eligible to receive. The shareholder servicing and/or distribution fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company accrued distribution and shareholder servicing fees of $88 and $88, respectively, which were attributable to Class S Common Stock.

 

Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement

Following any calendar quarter in which Available Operating Funds (as defined below) exceed the cumulative distributions accrued to the Company’s stockholders based on distributions declared with respect to record dates occurring in such calendar quarter (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as “Excess Operating Funds”), the Company shall pay such Excess Operating Funds, or a portion thereof, to the Adviser until such time as all Expense Payments made by the Adviser to, or on behalf of, the Company within three years prior to the last business day of such calendar quarter have been reimbursed. Any payments required to be made by the Company shall be referred to herein as a “Reimbursement Payment.” Reimbursement Payments are conditioned on (i) a distribution level (exclusive of return of capital and declared special dividends or special distributions, if any) equal to, or greater than, the rate at the time of the reimbursement, (ii) an operating expense ratio (excluding any interest expense, organizational and offering expenses,

Other Short-Term Borrowings

Borrowings with original maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term. The Company’s short-term borrowings are the result of investments that were sold under repurchase agreements. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 and remains as an investment on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company includes other short-term borrowings in the balance of outstanding indebtedness in the calculation of the Company’s asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no short-term borrowings.

of the calendar quarter prior to the applicable valuation date. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

 

Under the share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the prior quarter.

 

The following table presents share repurchases completed under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. There were no share repurchases in 2024.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

The Company operates through a single operating and reporting segment with an investment objective to generate both current income and capital appreciation through debt and equity investments. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is comprised of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The CODM assesses the performance of the Company and makes operating decisions on a consolidated basis, primarily based on the Company’s net increase in net assets resulting from operations (“net income”). In addition to numerous other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes net income as a key metric in determining the amount of dividends to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders. As the Company’s operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Total Assets and the significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company’s management evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in, or would be required to be recognized in, these consolidated financial statements, except as discussed below.

 

On October 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) governing the issuance of $200,000 in aggregate principal amount of its: (i) 5.85% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche A, due October 2, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $62,500 (the “Tranche A Notes”), (ii) 6.22% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche B, due October 2, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500 (the “Tranche B Notes”), (iii) 5.85% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche C, due October 2, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $62,500 (the “Tranche C Notes”) and (iv) 6.22% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche D, due October 2, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500 (the “Tranche D Notes” and, together with the Tranche A Notes, the Tranche B Notes and the Tranche C Notes, the “Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. Interest on the Notes will be due semiannually.

 

The Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes occurred on October 2, 2025 for $100,000. The closing of the Tranche C Notes and the Tranche D Notes is expected to occur on December 1, 2025 or on a date thereafter mutually agreed upon by the Company and the relevant purchaser parties for the remaining $100,000. The Company will apply the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including to make investments, repay existing debt and make distributions permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

This transaction occurred after the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any impact of the transaction in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 29, 2025, the Company redeemed 11,408.454 shares of Class I Common Stock for total proceeds of $224 subject to a tender offer filed with the SEC on September 24, 2025.

On October 31, 2025 the Company declared a distribution for our common stock of $0.1625 per share, payable on November 7, 2025 to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2025.

 

As of November 3, 2025, the Company sold shares of our Common Stock with the final number of shares being determined within 20 business days. The sale of shares were pursuant to $63,404 of subscription agreements entered into by the Company and its investors.

On November 4, 2025, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps. The forward-starting interest rate swap has an effective date of January 2, 2026. Under the forward-starting interest rate swap agreement related to the Tranche A Notes, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate of 5.85% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.51% per annum on the $62,500 of the Tranche A Notes. Under the forward-starting interest rate swap agreement related to the Tranche B Notes, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate of 6.22% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.82% per annum on the $37,500 of the Tranche B Notes. The Company designated each forward-starting interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with “ITEM 1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS”. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which relate to future events or the future performance or financial condition of Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp. (the “Company”) and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2025. This discussion also should be read in conjunction with the “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 15, 2022. We have elected to be treated as a business development company (a “BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We have also elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a regulated investment company (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a BDC, we are required to comply with various regulatory requirements, such as the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in “qualifying” assets, source of income limitations, asset diversification requirements and the requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of our taxable income and tax-exempt interest.

Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of investments that primarily consist of senior or subordinated debt, preferred stock or other interests senior to common equity as well as equity securities (or rights to acquire equity securities) acquired in connection with debt financing transactions in management buyouts, recapitalizations and other opportunities. Our investment strategy is intended to generate favorable returns across credit cycles with an emphasis on preserving capital. To achieve our investment objective, we leverage an extensive network of relationships with other sophisticated institutions to source, evaluate and, as appropriate, partner with on transactions. There are no assurances that we will achieve our investment objective.

We invest in “middle market companies,” which we define to generally mean companies with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) of less than $250 million annually, and/or annual revenue of $25 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment, in the enterprise software, data and technology-enabled business sectors, which focus on designing and implementing software solutions specifically to meet the needs of large, complex organizations. We may on occasion invest in smaller or larger companies if an attractive opportunity presents itself, especially when we believe that there are dislocations in the capital markets such that assets are mispriced on an absolute or relative basis, including the high yield and syndicated loan markets. We generally invest in companies with a low loan-to-value ratio, which we consider to be 50% or below. The loan-to-value ratio measures the relationship between our investment and the enterprise value of the related borrower/issuer (i.e., the aggregate assets securing the investment). The enterprise value of our borrowers typically range from $500 million to over $5.0 billion. Our target credit investments will typically have maturities between three and seven years with an average duration between three and five years and generally range in size between $10 million and $75 million. The investment size will vary based on numerous factors, including the size of our capital base.

We generally invest in securities that have been rated below investment grade by independent rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. These securities, which are often referred to as “junk,” have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. In addition, many of our debt investments have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis and typically will not fully pay down principal prior to maturity, which could increase our risk of losing part or all of our investment. Under normal circumstances, we invest at least 80% of our total assets (net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes) in credit investments (loans, bonds and other credit instruments). Our credit investments will typically consist of first lien, unitranche, and second lien debt facilities, and may include mezzanine debt, any of which may be “covenant-lite” (i.e., loans that do not have a complete set of financial maintenance covenants).

On June 16, 2023, Vista Credit BDC Management, L.P. (our “Adviser”), purchased 1,250.000 shares of our common stock at $20.00 per share, which represented the initial public offering price of such shares.

On September 8, 2023 and September 22, 2023, we held our initial closings and entered into subscription agreements with investors providing for the private placement of our shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2025, we had received capital commitments totaling $829.7 million. As of September 30, 2025, we have issued 29,696,831.192 shares of our common stock, for gross proceeds of $585.2 million.

Total capital commitments as of September 30, 2025, include a $50.0 million capital commitment from VHG Capital, L.P., an entity affiliated with us and the Adviser. As of September 30, 2025, VHG Capital, L.P. had purchased 1,346,958.815 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $26.6 million.

Investments

Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of each investment) varies substantially from period to period depending on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to middle-market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for the types of investments we make.

In addition, as part of our risk strategy on investments, we may reduce the levels of certain investments through partial sales or syndication to additional lenders.

Revenues

We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income from the debt securities we hold and dividends and capital appreciation on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. Discounts from and premiums to par value on investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. To the extent loans contain payment-in-kind (“PIK”) provisions, PIK interest, computed at the contractual rates is accrued and recorded as interest income and added to the principal balance of the loan. PIK interest income added to the principal balance is generally collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal. Repayments of our debt investments can reduce interest income from period to period. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly. In addition, we may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring or diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies and possibly consulting fees. Certain of these fees may be capitalized and amortized as additional interest income over the life of the related loan. Our target credit investments will typically have maturities between three and seven years.

Many of our debt investments will typically not fully pay down principal prior to maturity and have floating interest rates that reset on a periodic basis, usually determined on the basis of a benchmark such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and any other alternative reference rates which may affect our net investment income over the long term and increase the risk of losing part or all of the investment.

Dividend income on preferred equity is recorded on an accrual basis to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded portfolio companies. To the extent a preferred equity investment contains PIK provisions, PIK dividends, computed at the contractual rates, are accrued and recorded as dividend income and added to the principal balance of the preferred equity. PIK dividends added to the principal balance are generally collected upon redemption of the equity.

Our investment transactions will also reflect the proceeds from repayment or sales of investments. We will recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include the payment of the management fee, incentive fee, expenses reimbursable under the agreements between us and our Adviser, including an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”) and an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), legal and professional fees, interest and other debt expenses, offering and organization expenses, and other operating expenses.

We expect, but cannot ensure, that our general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar terms during periods of asset growth but will decline as a percentage of total assets during such periods.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses

Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class of common stock), gains and losses are allocated to each class of common stock based on the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class of common stock are charged against the operations of that class.

Distributions

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of the Board and will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, maintenance of the Company’s tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant from time to time. Although the gross distribution per share is generally equivalent for each class of common stock, the net distribution for each class of common stock is reduced for any class-specific expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, if any.

Portfolio and Investment Activity

Portfolio Composition

 

Vista Credit Partners invests across three primary strategies. FounderDirect refers to directly originated credit investments in non-sponsored enterprise software companies where there is no single financial institution that owns more than 50% economic ownership or governance control. These are typically senior secured loans made to companies that have matured beyond the early stage and are seeking less dilutive capital to support continued growth, acquisitions, or shareholder liquidity. Sponsor Credit focuses on senior secured loans to sponsor-backed software businesses, leveraging Vista’s domain expertise and sponsor relationships to structure deals with strong protections. Syndicated Credit includes select participations in broadly syndicated first-lien loans to larger software companies, providing diversification and liquidity across the portfolio.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our portfolio by investment strategy at fair value was comprised of the following:

Below is a summary of certain characteristics of our investment portfolio as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. These calculations include all debt investments, as applicable, for which fair value is determined by the Adviser, in conjunction with third-party valuation firms, and excludes non-accrual assets. Amounts are weighted based on fair market value of each respective investment. Portfolio company information utilized in certain calculations was derived from the most recently available portfolio company financial statements, which has not been independently reviewed by us, and may reflect a normalized or adjusted amount. Accordingly, we make no representation or warranty in respect of this information. Revenues, EBITDA, gross margins, and EBITDA margins reported by our portfolio companies and used in the calculations below are generally for the trailing twelve-month period.

(1)
LTV is the ratio of total debt minus cash, divided by the estimated enterprise value or value of the underlying collateral of the portfolio company. Total debt only includes the debt issued through the tranche in which we are a lender and excludes any debt that is legally and contractually subordinated in ranking to the debt owned by us. We believe this calculation method assists in describing the risk of our portfolio investments, as it takes into consideration the contractual rights of repayment of the tranche of debt owned by us relative to other senior and junior creditors of a portfolio company. “Value” represents an estimate of enterprise value of each portfolio company, a calculation that will vary by portfolio company.
(2)
Gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue of the portfolio company. Excludes four portfolio company investments where gross margin is not reported by the portfolio company.
(3)
EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenue of the portfolio company. Excludes twelve and five portfolio company investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, where EBITDA margin may not be the appropriate measure of credit risk as the investments were underwritten and covenanted based on recurring revenue as opposed to EBITDA.
(4)
YTM is calculated based on the amortized cost and contractual interest rate for the investment at the end of the applicable reporting period, and assumes the investment is held until the sooner of actual maturity or a three-year assumed life with no prepayments or losses and exited at par at maturity.
(5)
Primarily subject to interest rate floors.

The investment income yield is calculated as (a) the actual amount earned on earning debt investments, including interest and fee income and amortization of capitalized fees and discounts, divided by the weighted average of total earning debt investments.

As of September 30, 2025, all of our first-lien debt investments were performing and current on their interest payments.

As part of the monitoring process, our Adviser has developed risk assessment policies pursuant to which it regularly assesses the risk profile of each of our debt investments and rates each of them based on the following categories, which we refer to as “Internal Risk Ratings.” Pursuant to these risk policies, an Internal Risk Rating of 1 to 4, which ratings are defined below, is assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Key drivers of internal risk ratings include financial metrics, financial covenants, liquidity and enterprise value coverage.

Table of Contents

 

Internal Risk Ratings Definitions

 

Rating

Description

1

Investments with a grade of 1 involve the least amount of risk to our initial cost basis. The trends and risk factors for this investment since origination or acquisition are generally favorable, which may include the performance of the portfolio company or a potential exit.

 

 

2

Investments with a grade of 2 involve a level of risk to our initial cost basis that is similar to the risk to our initial cost basis at the time of origination or acquisition. This portfolio company is generally performing as expected and/or unchanged; and the risk factors to our ability to ultimately recoup the cost of our investment are neutral to favorable. There is no concern about repayment of both interest and our costs basis. All investments or acquired investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a grade of 2.

 

 

3

Investments with a grade of 3 indicate that the portfolio company is performing materially below expectations and the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has increased materially since origination or acquisition, including as a result of other factors such as non-compliance with debt covenants; however, payments are generally not more than 120 days past due.

 

 

4

Investments with a grade of 4 indicate that the risk to our ability to recoup the initial cost basis of such investment has substantially increased since origination or acquisition, and the portfolio company likely has materially declining performance. For debt investments with an investment grade of 4, most or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments are substantially delinquent. For investments graded 4, it is anticipated that we will not recoup our initial cost basis and may realize a substantial loss of our initial cost basis upon exit.

 

Our Adviser monitors and, when appropriate, changes the risk ratings assigned to each debt investment in our portfolio. Our Adviser reviews our investment ratings in connection with our quarterly valuation process. The below table summarizes the Internal Risk Ratings assigned as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

One investment was inadvertently previously presented in the Internal Risk Rating “3” category as of December 31, 2024. The table has been updated to correctly identify the investment in the Internal Risk Rating “2” category.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average Internal Risk Rating of our investment portfolio was 1.96 and 1.93, respectively.

Consolidated Results of Operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

 

Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations varies from period to period as a result of various factors, including the level of new investment commitments, expenses, the recognition of realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the investment portfolio. In addition, as we have continued to raise and deploy capital, we have experienced significant growth in total assets, total liabilities and net assets since commencing operations in the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result, year-over-year comparisons of operating results may not be meaningful.

Interest income on our debt investments is dependent on the composition and credit quality of the portfolio. Generally, we expect the portfolio to generate predictable quarterly interest income based on the terms stated in each loan’s credit agreement. As of September 30, 2025, there were no debt investments on non-accrual status.

Total investment income increased from $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the increase in our investment portfolio from $359.0 at September 30, 2024 to $1,147.6 million at September 30, 2025. Total investment income increased from $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $58.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also due to the significant increase in our investment portfolio over this twelve month time period.

Our weighted average investment income yield on total investments at amortized cost and fair value was 10.5% and 10.5%, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, and 11.0% and 11.0%, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in the weighted average yield on total investments was primarily due to a decline in the underlying SOFR that is utilized to set the interest rate on our variable rate loans.

Interest expense and credit facility fees represents interest and fees incurred under the Credit Facilities (defined below). Total interest expense increased from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to the increase in our total borrowings outstanding from $192.3 million at September 30, 2024 to $569.0 million at September 30, 2025. Total interest expense increased from $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 also due to the significant increase in our total borrowings outstanding over this twelve month time period. For more information about our outstanding borrowings, including the terms thereof, see Note 5. Borrowings in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.

 

Management fees increased as a result of an increase in average gross assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Incentive fees increased as a result of an increase in pre-incentive fee net investment income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Professional fees include legal, rating agencies, tax, valuation, technology and other professional fees incurred relating to the management of the Company. Other general and administrative expenses include sub-administrative service fees, filing, research, subscriptions, and other costs. Sub-administrative service fees represent fees paid to State Street Bank and Trust Company pursuant to the State Street Sub-Administration Agreement. Administrative service fees represent fees paid to the Administrator for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Administrator in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including our allocable portion of the cost of certain of our executive officers and their respective staff. Offering costs include expenses incurred in the initial formation of the Company and in the offering of our common stock. In total, the majority of our operating expense categories have increased primarily due to the costs associated with servicing a growing portfolio.

 

Waivers and reimbursements of expenses include expenses the Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive pursuant to the Administration Agreement and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Support Agreement. Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, we reimburse the Adviser for services performed for us. Beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Adviser agreed to voluntarily waive costs and expenses reimbursable by the Company to the Adviser under the Administration Agreement to the extent such costs and expenses exceed an amount equal to 15 basis points (annualized) of the weighted average fair value of the Company’s total investments for such period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Adviser agreed to waive $24 thousand and $212 thousand, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Adviser agreed to waive $198 thousand and $198 thousand, respectively, in administrative service fees under the Administration Agreement. The waived amount continues to decline on a quarterly basis due to the continued growth in the investment portfolio.

We have entered into an expense support agreement with the Adviser. The Adviser may elect to pay the certain expenses on our behalf (the “Expense Payments”), provided that no portion of the payment will be used to pay any interest expense or distribution and/or servicing fees incurred by us. Any Expense Payment that the Adviser has elected to pay must be paid by the Adviser to us in any combination of cash or other immediately available funds no later than 45 days after such election was made in writing, and/or offset against amounts due from us to the Adviser or its affiliates.

The following table presents a summary of the Expense Payments (as defined below) and reimbursements of Expense Payments (as defined below) since our inception:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a realized gain and loss on three investments totaling approximately $71 thousand and $(83) thousand, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded unrealized appreciation on 72 and 82 investments totaling approximately $1.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively, and unrealized depreciation on 37 and 41 investments of approximately $(1.5) million and $(4.5) million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded unrealized appreciation on 37 and 38 investments totaling approximately $390 thousand and $1,792 thousand, respectively, and unrealized depreciation on 22 and 21 investments of approximately $(970) thousand and $(2,014) thousand, respectively.

 

Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes

We have elected to be treated and intend to qualify annually to maintain our election to be treated, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax election, we must, among other requirements, meet certain annual source-of-income and quarterly asset diversification requirements. We also must annually distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders out of the assets legally available for distribution of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.

If we fail to distribute in a timely manner an amount at least equal to the sum of (1) 98% of our ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of our capital gain net income (both long-term and short-term) for the one-year period ending October 31 in that calendar year and (3) any income realized, but not distributed, in the preceding year (to the extent that income tax was not imposed on such amounts) less certain over-distributions in prior years (together, the “Excise Tax Distribution Requirements”), we will be liable for a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the portion of the undistributed amounts of such income that are less than the amounts required to be distributed based on the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements. For this purpose, however, any ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by us that is subject to corporate income tax for the tax year ending in that calendar year will be considered to have been distributed by year end

(or earlier if estimated taxes are paid). We currently intend to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements.

We did not incur any excise tax expense for any of the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We generate cash primarily from (i) the net proceeds of capital drawdowns of our privately placed capital commitments, (ii) cash flows from our operations, (iii) our existing financing arrangements and any additional financing arrangements we may enter into in the future and (iv) any future offerings of our equity or debt securities. We may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities. Our primary use of cash is for (a) investments in portfolio companies and other investments to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (b) the cost of operations (including paying the Adviser), (c) debt service of any borrowings, (d) cash distributions to the holders of our common stock and (e) repurchases of our common stock. We believe our current cash position and net cash provided by operating activities, along with capital drawdowns from the private offering of our common stock and borrowings from financial institutions, will provide us with sufficient resources to meet our obligations and continue to support our investment objectives, including reserving for the capital needs that may arise at our portfolio companies, for the next 12 months and beyond.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $38.4 million and $33.3 million, respectively, in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents balance increased by $5.1 million. During that period, $(640.1) million was used in operating activities, primarily due to investment purchases of $(708.2) million, offset by $38.8 million in repayments of investments in portfolio companies. During the same period, $645.2 million was provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of proceeds from issuances of shares of common stock of $316.9 million and net proceeds from secured borrowings of $341.9 million.

We are generally permitted, under specified conditions, to issue multiple classes of indebtedness and one class of stock senior to the common stock if our asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, would be at least equal to 200% immediately after each such issuance. However, recent legislation has modified the 1940 Act by allowing a BDC to increase the maximum amount of leverage it may incur from an asset coverage ratio of 200% to an asset coverage ratio of 150%, if certain requirements are met. On June 16, 2023, our stockholders approved a proposal that allows us to reduce our asset coverage ratio to 150%, which proposal was effective as of June 17, 2023. This means that generally, we can borrow up to $2 for every $1 of investor equity. Asset coverage ratio per unit is the ratio of the carrying value of our total consolidated assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, to the aggregate amount of senior securities representing indebtedness. Asset coverage ratio per unit is expressed in terms of dollar amounts per $1,000 of indebtedness. As of September 30, 2025, asset coverage was 202.6% and the asset coverage per unit was $2,026.

On November 14, 2023, we entered into a revolving credit facility (as amended, the “SMBC Credit Facility”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”). Effective October 4, 2024, we decreased the maximum borrowing capacity under the SMBC Credit Facility from $200.0 million to $100.0 million. Borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility may be base rate loans, eurocurrency loans or risk-free rate loans (i.e., loans bearing interest based on SOFR or the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate (“SONIA”)). For any base rate loan, the applicable margin will be 1.60% plus the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%); (b) the prime rate; or (c) except during any period during which the applicable SOFR is unavailable, the applicable SOFR in effect on such day plus 105 basis points (1.05%). Eurocurrency rate loans, daily simple SOFR loans, daily simple SONIA loans and term SOFR loans will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), SOFR, or SONIA or one-month term SOFR, respectively, plus, in each case, 2.60%. The Company will pay to SMBC an unused commitment fee, payable quarterly, equal to 0.35% per annum of the average unused portion of available borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility.

Our obligations under the SMBC Credit Facility are secured by (a) our ability to call capital from stockholders, (b) the capital commitments and capital contributions of stockholders and (c) the bank accounts to which such capital contributions are funded into by stockholders. We have made customary representations and warranties and are required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. Borrowings under the SMBC Credit Facility are subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act, as amended.

On June 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”) we entered into a loan financing and servicing agreement (as amended, the “DB Credit Facility”) with Deutsche Bank AG through our wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary, VCSL Funding 1 LLC (“VCSL Funding 1”). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the maximum commitment was $450.0 million and $275.0 million, respectively. The period during which VCSL Funding 1 may request drawdowns under the DB

Credit Facility (the “Revolving Period”) commenced on the Effective Date and will continue through June 26, 2027 unless there is an earlier termination or event of default. The DB Credit Facility will mature on the earliest of (i) two years from the last day of the Revolving Period, (ii) the date on which the Company ceases to exist or (iii) the occurrence of an event of default.

On April 7, 2025, we amended the DB Credit Facility to provide that borrowings under the DB Credit Facility will bear interest at a floating rate equal to the base rate plus (i) 2.15% per annum (reduced from 2.40% per annum) during the Revolving Period, and (ii) 2.30% per annum (reduced from 2.90% per annum) following expiration of the Revolving Period for the remaining term of the DB Credit Facility. The base rate under the DB Credit Facility is three-month SOFR. A facility agent fee is payable to the facility agent each quarter and is calculated based on the aggregate commitments outstanding each day during the preceding collection period at a rate of 1/360 of 0.25% of the aggregate commitments on each day.

On July 18, 2025, we amended the DB Credit Facility to increase the maximum commitment under the DB Credit Facility from $350.0 mililon to $450.0 million and to allow us to further increase the maximum commitment to $500.0 million, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions precedent. The $100.0 million increase expires on January 18, 2026.

The DB Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets held by VCSL Funding 1. VCSL Funding 1 has made customary representations and warranties and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar credit facilities. Our borrowings, including those under the DB Credit Facility, are subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the 1940 Act.

On September 5, 2025, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “ING Credit Facility”) by and among the Company, as Borrower, ING Capital LLC, as Administrative Agent, Sole Bookrunner and Arranger, and the other lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the ING Credit Facility.

The ING Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility in an initial amount of up to $150.0 million, subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on our portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness. Maximum capacity under the ING Credit Facility may be increased to $500.0 million if we exercise the uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing.

The Revolving Period under the ING Credit Facility will terminate on September 5, 2029 and the facility will mature on September 5, 2030.

Interest under the ING Credit Facility is payable, at our election, at either Daily Simple RFR, Term SOFR (or other term benchmark rate) or the Alternate Base Rate (defined as the greater of (i) the prime rate as last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii) the federal funds effective rate for such day plus 0.5%, (iii) Term SOFR for a period of one month plus the applicable credit adjustment spread plus 1.0% and (iv) 1.0% plus an applicable margin equal to (I) (a) during any period in which we fail to maintain a credit rating of at least BBB-/Baa3 (or equivalent) from at least one of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, (i) with respect to any ABR Loan, 1.25% per annum; and (ii) with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, 2.25% per annum; or (b) during any period in which the Company maintains a credit rating of at least BBB-/Baa3 (or equivalent) from at least one of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, (i) with respect to any ABR Loan, 1.00% per annum; and (ii) with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, 2.00% per annum plus (II) an applicable credit adjustment spread of (a) with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars, 0.10%, (b) with respect to any RFR Loan denominated in GBP, 0.0326% and (c) with respect to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in CAD, 0.29547% for Loans with an interest period of one month and 0.32138% for Loans with an interest period of three months. We will also pay a fee of 0.375% on daily undrawn amounts under the ING Credit Facility.

Although we believe that we will remain in compliance, there are no assurances that we will continue to comply with the covenants in the SMBC Credit Facility, the DB Credit Facility, and the ING Credit Facility (collectively the “Credit Facilities”), as applicable. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under one or both of the Credit Facilities that, if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the applicable lenders, could result in the immediate acceleration of the amounts due under the one or both of the Credit Facilities, and thereby have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, to the extent that we cannot meet our financing obligations, we risk the loss of some or all of our assets to liquidation or sale to satisfy the obligations. In such an event, we may be forced to sell assets at significantly depressed prices due to market conditions or otherwise, which may result in losses.

As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance in all material respects with the terms of our Credit Facilities. For more information on the Credit Facilities, see Note 5. Borrowings, to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Excludes $15.0 million as of December 31, 2024, of capital commitments that are contingent on us receiving additional capital commitments, ensuring that at all times, the aggregate commitments of an individual investor do not exceed 24.99% of our aggregate commitments.

Borrowings with original maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term. The Company’s short-term borrowings are the result of investments that were sold under repurchase agreements. Investments sold under repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized borrowings as the sale of the investment does not qualify for sale accounting under ASC Topic 860 and remains as an investment on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company includes other short-term borrowings in the balance of outstanding indebtedness in the calculation of the Company’s asset coverage requirement under the 1940 Act.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had no short-term borrowings.

Dividends and Distributions

To the extent that we have taxable income available, we intend to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders. Dividends and distributions to stockholders are recorded on the applicable record date. The amount to be distributed to stockholders is determined by the Company each quarter and is generally based upon the taxable earnings estimated by management and available cash. Net realized capital gains, if any, will generally be distributed at least annually, although we may decide to retain such capital gains for investment.

We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan under which shareholders will automatically receive dividends and other distributions in cash unless they elect to have their dividends and other distributions reinvested in additional shares. As a result of the foregoing, when the Company declares a cash dividend or distribution, stockholders that have not “opted out” of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares rather than receiving cash.

Share Repurchases

 

At the discretion of the Board, the Company has commenced a share repurchase program in which the Company intends to repurchase, in each quarter, up to 5% of the NAV of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the close of the calendar quarter prior to the applicable valuation date. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program if it deems such action to be in the best interest of shareholders. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each quarter. The Company intends to conduct such repurchase offers in accordance with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act. All shares purchased pursuant to the terms of each tender offer will be retired and thereafter will be authorized and unissued shares.

 

Under the share repurchase program, to the extent the Company offers to repurchase shares in any particular quarter, it is expected to repurchase shares pursuant to tender offers on or around the last business day of the first month of such quarter using a purchase price equal to the NAV per share as of the last calendar day of the prior quarter.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnification or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against us. We believe that the likelihood of such an event is remote; however, the maximum potential exposure is unknown. No accrual has been made in the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024, for any such exposure.

We currently are and may in the future become obligated to fund commitments such as revolving credit facilities, bridge financing commitments, or delayed draw commitments.

We had the following unfunded commitments to fund delayed draw, revolving senior secured loans, and other equity as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we rely on exemptive relief that has been granted to us and certain of our affiliates to permit us to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser or certain affiliates, in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors.

Finally, the Adviser sponsored a program whereby investors who purchase shares of common stock from the Company between November 4, 2024 and June 30, 2025 will be granted additional shares of common stock. Based on purchases of shares of common stock during that time period, investors received 557,525.581 shares (one additional share for every twenty shares purchased) on August 1, 2025. The 557,525.581 shares were transferred from VHG Capital, L.P., an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser is sponsoring a second program whereby investors who purchase shares of common stock from the Company between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 will be granted additional shares of common stock. See Note 4. Related Party Transactions, to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. We have identified investment valuation and revenue recognition as our most critical accounting estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the matters described below. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies follows.

Fair Value Measurements

One of the critical accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements is the valuation of investments and the related amounts of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments recorded. Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), as amended, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with ASC 820, we consider its principal market to be the market that has the greatest volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. For certain investments structured as interests in limited partnerships, the Company applies the practical expedient, or net asset value method, to determine the fair value of such investments.

In addition to using the above inputs in investment valuations, the Adviser will apply a valuation policy approved by our Board that is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, we will evaluate the source of the inputs, including any markets in which our investments are trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are trading), in determining fair value. When an investment is valued based on prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker quotes), we will subject those prices to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a

61


Table of Contents

 

particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 2 or Level 3 investment. For example, we, or the independent valuation firm(s), will review pricing support provided by dealers or pricing services in order to determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable inputs.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to contractual and other restrictions on resale. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be material.

In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts, amortization of premiums and PIK interest. Discounts from and premiums to par value on investments purchased are accreted/amortized into interest income over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. To the extent loans contain PIK provisions, PIK interest, computed at the contractual rates, is accrued, recorded as interest income and added to the principal balance of the loan. PIK interest income added to the principal balance is generally collected upon repayment of the outstanding principal.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when interest and/or principal payments become materially past due and there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full. Recognition of interest income of that loan will be ceased until all principal and interest is current through payment or until a restructuring occurs, such that the interest income is deemed to be collectible. However, we remain contractually entitled to this interest. Accrued and unpaid interest is generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to principal depending upon our judgment regarding collectability. Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest are paid or there is no longer any reasonable doubt that such principal or interest will be collected in full and, in our judgment, are likely to remain current. We may make exceptions to this policy if the loan has sufficient collateral value or is in the process of collection. Accrued interest is written off when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected, and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses are measured by the difference between the net proceeds from the repayment or sale and the amortized cost basis of the investment using the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period, net of recoveries. Unrealized gains or losses primarily reflect the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses when gains or losses are realized.

Other income may include income such as consent, waiver, amendment, unused, and prepayment fees associated with our investment activities, as well as any fees for managerial assistance services rendered by us to our portfolio companies. Such fees are recognized as income when earned or the services are rendered.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. To maintain our RIC tax election, we must, among other requirements, meet certain annual source-of-income and quarterly asset diversification requirements. We also must annually distribute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to our stockholders out of the assets legally available for distribution of an amount generally at least equal to 90% of the sum of our investment company taxable income, determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid.

If we fail to comply with the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements, we will be liable for a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the portion of the undistributed amounts of such income that are less than the amounts required to be distributed

62

based on the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements. For this purpose, however, any net ordinary income or capital gain net income retained by us that is subject to corporate income tax for the tax year ending in that calendar year will be considered to have been distributed by year end (or earlier if estimated taxes are paid). We currently intend to make sufficient distributions each taxable year to satisfy the Excise Tax Distribution Requirements.

Recent Developments

 

On October 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) governing the issuance of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its: (i) 5.85% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche A, due October 2, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million (the “Tranche A Notes”), (ii) 6.22% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche B, due October 2, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $37.5 million (the “Tranche B Notes”), (iii) 5.85% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche C, due October 2, 2028, in the aggregate principal amount of $62.5 million (the “Tranche C Notes”) and (iv) 6.22% Series 2025 Senior Notes, Tranche D, due October 2, 2030, in the aggregate principal amount of $37.5 million (the “Tranche D Notes” and, together with the Tranche A Notes, the Tranche B Notes and the Tranche C Notes, the “Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. Interest on the Notes will be due semiannually.

 

The Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes occurred on October 2, 2025 for $100.0 million. The closing of the Tranche C Notes and the Tranche D Notes is expected to occur on December 1, 2025 or on a date thereafter mutually agreed upon by the Company and the relevant purchaser parties for the remaining $100.0 million. The Company will apply the proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including to make investments, repay existing debt and make distributions permitted by the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The closing of this transaction occurred after the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any impact of the transaction in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

On October 29, 2025, the Company redeemed 11,408.454 shares of Class I common stock for total proceeds of $224,179 subject to a tender offer filed with the SEC on September 24, 2025.

On October 31, 2025, the Company declared a distribution for our common stock of $0.1625 per share, payable on November 7, 2025 to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2025.

 

As of November 3, 2025, the Company sold shares of our common stock with the final number of shares being determined within 20 business days. The sale of shares were pursuant to $63,404 of subscription agreements entered into by the Company and its investors.

On November 4, 2025, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to more closely align the interest rates of the Company’s Tranche A Notes and Tranche B Notes with the Company’s investment portfolio, which consists of predominately floating rate loans. The forward-starting interest rate swap has an effective date of January 2, 2026. Under the forward-starting interest rate swap agreement related to the Tranche A Notes, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate of 5.85% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.51% per annum on the $62.5 million of the Tranche A Notes. Under the forward-starting interest rate swap agreement related to the Tranche B Notes, the Fund receives a fixed interest rate of 6.22% per annum and pays a floating interest rate of SOFR + 2.82% per annum on the $37.5 million of the Tranche B Notes. The Company designated each forward-starting interest rate swap as the hedging instrument in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates.

Valuation Risk

We invest primarily in illiquid debt and equity securities of private companies. Most of our investments do not have a readily available market price, and we value these investments at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with valuation policy and procedures established by our Board. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment while employing a consistently applied valuation process for the types of investments we make.

63


Table of Contents

 

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. Because we borrow money to make investments, our net investment income will depend in part upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds as well as our level of leverage. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our net investment income or net assets.

We may hedge against interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts or a credit facility subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act and applicable commodities laws. While hedging activities may insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates and foreign currencies, such activities may also limit our ability to participate in benefits of lower interest rates or higher exchange rates with respect to the portion of our portfolio of investments, if any, with fixed interest rates or denominated in foreign currencies.

As of each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, on a fair value basis, approximately 0% of our debt investments bear interest at a fixed rate and approximately 100% of our debt investments bear interest at a floating rate. Additionally, our Credit Facilities are also subject to floating interest rates and are currently paid based on floating SOFR rates.

The following table estimates the potential changes of the net cash flow generated from interest income and expenses (in thousands), should interest rates increase or decrease by 100, 200 or 300 basis points. Interest income is calculated as revenue from interest generated from our portfolio of investments held on September 30, 2025. Interest expense is calculated based on the terms of the Credit Facilities, using the outstanding balance as of September 30, 2025. Interest expense on the Credit Facilities is calculated using the interest rate as of September 30, 2025, adjusted for the impact of hypothetical changes in rates, as shown below. The base interest rate case assumes the rates on our portfolio investments remain unchanged from the actual effective interest rates as of September 30, 2025. These hypothetical calculations are based on a model of the investments in our portfolio, held as of September 30, 2025, and are only adjusted for assumed changes in the underlying base interest rates. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimated in the table (dollar amounts in thousands).

Based on our September 30, 2025 consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, the following table shows the annualized net interest income, in thousands, of base rate changes in interest rates (considering interest rate floors for variable rate instruments) assuming no changes in our investment and borrowing structure:
