Item 8.01 — Other Events.
On April 14, 2011, Education Management Corporation (the “Company”) announced the sale of its subsidiary Education Finance I LLC (“EFI”) to an unaffiliated Delaware trust for sale proceeds of $44.4 million. EFI holds the loans purchased from a private lender under the Company’s Education Finance Loan program. In December 2010, the loans held by EFI were redesignated from held for investment to held for sale because the Company no longer intended to hold the loans to maturity. The Company anticipates recording a loss of approximately $13.2 million in the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011 as a fair market value adjustment in connection with the sale of EFI. The Company previously announced that it did not expect to make any purchases or award any aid under the Education Finance Loan program beyond June 30, 2011. In connection with the sale of EFI, the Company pre-funded approximately $1.6 million for the purchase of loans under the Education Finance Loan program through June 30, 2011.
