On the webcast conference call held on October 31, 2013 to discuss the earnings of Education Management Corporation (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013, Company President and Chief Executive Officer Edward H. West made the following comments regarding two director nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on November 8, 2013:

“Before I get into our results, I would like to take a minute to mention the two very notable leaders who have been nominated to serve as new members of our Board of Directors: William R. Johnson, former Chairman, President, and CEO of H. J. Heinz Company and Lester Lyles, retired four-star general of the United States Air Force.

“Bill will be nominated to serve as non-executive chairman. Bill brings a proven strategic vision for growth, business strategy, global business skills, marketing acumen, and a consumer focus. General Lyles, through his deep military experience and service as a director of several notable companies, including Chairman of USAA, is uniquely qualified to provide critical strategic and business advice, especially as it relates to our veterans. We welcome their perspective and support as we move forward.”
