**Comment for Reporting Person:** Based on information provided by the Issuer, the percent of class was calculated based on 49,068,516.216 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 2, 2026.

**Item 1. Security and Issuer**

**(a) Title of Class of Securities:**
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock")

**(b) Name of Issuer:**
VISTA CREDIT STRATEGIC LENDING CORP.

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
50 Hudson Yards, Floor 77, New York, NY, 10001

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

The Reporting Persons acquired and hold the Common Stock for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors (including evaluation of the Issuer's businesses and prospects, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds and general economic conditions), the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of their investment in the Vista Entities and/or the Issuer.

Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect any such actions as any of them may deem necessary or appropriate in the future.

**Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer**

**(a)**
The following information is as of the date hereof and assumes there are 49,068,516.216 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 2, 2026, based on information furnished by the Issuer.

Feeder is the direct beneficial owner of 5,601,139.53 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock held by Feeder represents 11.41% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Schedule 13D.

VEP Group is the indirect beneficial owner of 6,745,839.71 shares of Common Stock (inclusive of the shares of Common Stock directly held by Feeder). The Common Stock held by VEP Group represents 13.75% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Schedule 13D.

Robert F. Smith is the sole managing member of VEP Group. Consequently, Mr. Smith and VEP Group may be deemed the beneficial owners of the shares held directly by Feeder, the Adviser, VHG and SPV. Each of the Vista Entities and Mr. Smith expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares not held directly and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the foregoing is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

**(b)**
By virtue of the relationship among the Reporting Persons described in Item 2, each such Reporting Person may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and to share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock as set forth in rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D.

**(c)**
Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

Beginning in November 2040, Feeder must submit a tender request in respect of the Common Stock then held by it if permitted by the governing documents of the Issuer and if certain ratio tests related to the financial health of an affiliate of the Feeder will be maintained or improved as a result of such tender.

Except as referenced herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons or between such Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
