    <remarks>A Form 4 and an amended Form 4 with regard to certain securities of Education Management Corporation were erroneously made under this filer's CIK No. (1247364) on October 6, 2009 and November 2, 2009, respectively.  Such filings were intended to be made under CIK No. 1477189, the CIK No. of a separate individual of the same name.  This amended filing is being made to reflect that Peter Wilde (1247364) is not now and has never been a director or other reporting person with respect to Education Management Corporation.  The filings made on October 6, 2009 and November 2, 2009 should be disregarded in their entirety.</remarks>
