## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1** 

**Exchange Offer and Related Transfer of Assets and Liabilities to TCW Specialty Lending LLC TCW** 

On January 14, 2026, as amended on February 20, 2026 and March 8, 2026, TCW Direct Lending Fund VIII LLC (the "Company") filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and a related offer to exchange, subscription agreement and letter of transmittal with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") outstanding Company limited liability units ("Units") for an equivalent number of limited liability company units of TCW Specialty Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Perpetual Fund"). The Perpetual Fund operates as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company regulated as a business development corporation (a "BDC") under the 1940 Act. The Exchange Offer was completed on April 1, 2026.

We conducted the Exchange Offer in order to provide Company unitholders ("Unitholders") with the option to either (i) continue to hold Units for the duration of our remaining term with no material change to the existing economics of the Unitholder's investment or (ii) exchange all, or a portion, of their Units for an equivalent number of Perpetual Fund units. The Perpetual Fund is a perpetual-life BDC, allowing unitholders to remain invested in a direct lending vehicle over an indefinite investment horizon. The Exchange Offer provided Unitholders with the optionality that was negotiated for and that was disclosed at the time of their investment in the Company. The Exchange Offer resulted in the transfer to Perpetual Fund of the assets, liabilities and related interests attributable to the exchanged Units, with the remaining assets and liabilities continuing to be held by the Company.

**Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information** 

The following unaudited pro forma financial information (the "pro forma financial information") presents the consolidated financial statements of TCW Direct Lending VIII LLC after giving effect to the consummation of the Exchange Offer and the related transfer of a portion of the Company's assets and liabilities to Perpetual Fund as well as the pay down of the Company's Subscription Based Credit Facility. The unaudited pro forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2025, gives effect to the Exchange Offer and transfer of assets as if they had occurred on December 31, 2025. The unaudited pro forma Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect pro forma results of the Company's operations as if the Exchange Offer and transfer of assets had occurred on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the Company's most recently completed fiscal year.

The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the pro forma financial statements. In addition, the pro forma financial statements were based on and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.

The pro forma financial information, which was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Company's financial position or results of operations would have been had the Exchange Offer been completed as of the dates indicated above. In addition, the pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Pro forma adjustments to historical financial information are subject to assumptions described in the accompanying notes. Management believes that these assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available.
