NEW YORK, February 13, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to seven classes of debt issued by VCP RRL ABS V, LLC (VCP V), a securitization backed by a portfolio of recurring revenue and middle market corporate loans.

VCP V is an approximate $517.2 million securitization managed by Vista Credit Strategic Lending Corp. (“VCSLC” or the “Collateral Manager”), an investment adviser and affiliate of Vista Equity Partners (collectively, with these affiliates and other funds managed by them and their affiliates “Vista”).

The securitization consists of $80.0 million Class A-L Loans, $7.0 million Class A-1 Notes, $179.35 million Class A-2 Notes, $75.0 million initially unfunded Class A-VF Notes, $25.0 million Class B-1 Notes, $21.54 million Class B-2 Notes, $36.2 million Class C Notes, and $93.1 million of Subordinated Notes of which $76.63 million will be funded at close (collectively the “Debt”). The closing portfolio will consist of $425.7 million of collateral obligations and the Class A-VF Notes as well as remaining $16.5 million of equity will be drawn upon to fund additional collateral purchases up to the fully-ramped portfolio target of $517.2 million.

The Debt is expected to receive payments from a portfolio of recurring revenue loans (“RRLs”) and middle market loans(“MMLs”), including Specified Recurring Revenue Loans (“SRRLs”). The transaction features a two-year reinvestment period which may be extended by an additional year pursuant to satisfaction of the Specified Rating Agency Condition. The ratings reflect initial credit enhancement levels, excess spread, and structural features.

This is Vista’s fifth securitization collateralized predominately by RRL and MML. The RRL strategy focuses on first-lien senior loans to technology and software companies that have a minimum level of recurring revenue and low loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.

The Class A, B, and C Notes have maximum advance rates of 66.0%, 75.0%, and 82.0%, respectively. The overall KWARF of the portfolio is 3381, which represents a weighted average portfolio assessment below B-.

KBRA’s ratings on the Class A-L Loans, Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-VF Notes, Class B-1 Notes, and Class B-2 Notes consider timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal by the applicable stated maturity date. KBRA’s rating on the Class C Notes considers the ultimate payment of interest and principal by the applicable stated maturity date.
