VISTA CREDIT STRATEGIC LENDING CORP. 8-K

What Happened

• Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp. notified Ernst & Young LLP on March 13, 2026 that Ernst & Young was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
• On March 19, 2026 the Company’s Audit Committee approved the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
• The filing states Ernst & Young’s audit reports for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 were not adverse or qualified, and there were no disagreements or “reportable events.” Ernst & Young’s letter dated March 19, 2026 is attached as Exhibit 16.1. The company also disclosed it had not consulted Deloitte on accounting or audit issues for 2024, 2025 or through the March 19, 2026 appointment date.

Key Details

• Dismissal date: March 13, 2026 (Ernst & Young LLP).
• Appointment date: March 19, 2026 (Deloitte & Touche LLP) for audit of fiscal year ending Dec 31, 2026.
• Prior audits: Ernst & Young’s reports for FY 2024 and FY 2025 were unmodified; no disagreements or reportable events were reported.
• No consultations with Deloitte regarding accounting policies, audit opinions, disagreements, or reportable events during 2024–2025 or through March 19, 2026.

Why It Matters

• A change in independent auditor is a governance event investors watch because it affects who reviews the company’s financial statements.
• The filing indicates a routine transition: prior audits were unmodified and there were no reported disagreements, which reduces immediate red flags about past financial reporting.
• Investors should note Deloitte will audit FY2026 financials; monitor upcoming quarterly and annual filings for any commentary on the transition, audit fees, or changes in audit scope.
