Re: Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed August 6, 2024
File No. 333-280880
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Vine Hill Capital
Investment Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,”
or “our”), reference is made to the letter dated August 14, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”)
from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed
with the Commission on August 6, 2024.
Separately today, the Company
has filed with the Commission Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 2”) through EDGAR
in response to the Staff’s comments.
For your convenience, the
Staff’s comment contained in the Comment Letter is duplicated below in bold and is followed by our response thereto. Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Amendment No. 2.
Form S-1/A filed August 6, 2024
Exhibits
1. We note the assumptions in Exhibit 5.1 that "the
Warrant Agreement [is] the valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto, enforceable against such parties in accordance
with their respective terms," and "that the Company ... is duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing".
Please remove these assumptions, as they are overly broad and assume material facts underlying the opinion. For guidance, see Staff Legal
Bulletin 19.II.b.3(a).
In response to the
Staff’s comment, we have filed a revised Exhibit 5.1 removing the assumptions identified in the Comment Letter.
