Education Management Corporation Files Form S-3 Registration Statement
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Education Management Corporation (NASDAQ: EDMC), one of the largest providers of post-secondary education in North America, today announced that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The registration statement is intended to provide for issuances by the company and to afford flexibility to access the public capital markets in order to respond to financing and business opportunities.
At the present time, the company has no specific plans to issue securities under the registration statement. Following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement, the company will be able to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $1 billion of securities such as debt securities, guarantees of debt securities, depositary shares, common and preferred stock, warrants, purchase contracts, or other units consisting of any of the foregoing. Specific terms and prices of securities in any future offerings by the company under this universal shelf registration statement, and the intended use of proceeds therefrom, would be established at the time of any such offering, and will be described in a prospectus supplement that Education Management Corporation would file with the SEC.
If the securities are issued, Education Management Corporation may use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, repayment of indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, business acquisitions, and the redemption or retirement of securities.
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offering of the securities covered under the universal shelf registration statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offer. A copy of the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and copies of the prospectus supplements relating to any offerings under the universal shelf registration statement, when available, may be obtained by contacting John Iannone, Director of Investor Relations, at 210 Sixth Avenue, 33rd Floor, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania 15222.
