PROXY STATEMENT
------------------------------
GENERAL
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the stockholders of Catellus
Development Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation of
proxies for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on
Thursday, June 23, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. (local time) and at any adjournment
thereof. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at the Bank of America,
Giannini Auditorium, 555 California Street, San Francisco, California.
This solicitation is being made on behalf of the Board of Directors of the
Company, whose principal executive offices are located at 201 Mission Street,
San Francisco, California 94105, telephone (415) 974-4500. This Proxy Statement,
proxy card, Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the Company's 1993
Annual Report were first mailed to stockholders on or about May 2, 1994.
The shares represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, if such proxy is
properly executed and is received by the Company prior to or at the Annual
Meeting, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon.
Proxies on which no specification has been made by the stockholder will be voted
in favor of the nominees to the Board of Directors listed in this Proxy
Statement and for each of the proposals described herein.
Any shareholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time before it is voted
at the Annual Meeting by giving written notice of such revocation to the
Secretary of the Company at the address indicated above, which notice may be
given by the filing of a duly elected proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
Stockholders of record at the close of business on April 29, 1994 are
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On April 29, 1994, the
issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company consisted of 72,967,236
shares of Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote on all matters
which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof and
may properly be voted upon.
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to
constitute a quorum. The election of directors will require the affirmative vote
of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock voting in person or by proxy at the
Annual Meeting. Adoption of the proposals described herein to amend the Amended
and Restated Executive Stock Option Plan ("Executive Plan Proposal") and to
approve issuances of Common Stock on conversion of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock ("Common Stock Proposal") will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the votes cast for each proposal provided that the total votes cast
on each proposal represents over 50% in interest of all securities entitled to
vote on the matter.
The inspector of elections appointed by the Company will count all votes
cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be treated as
shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the
presence of a quorum, but as unvoted for purposes of determining the approval of
any matter submitted for a vote of the stock holders. As a result, abstentions
will have the effect of being a vote against the Executive Plan Proposal and the
Common Stock Proposal. If a broker or nominee indicates on its proxy that it
does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter as to
certain shares, those shares will be counted for general quorum purposes but
will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to that
matter.
<PAGE> 4
The Company anticipates that Bay Area Real Estate Investment Associates
L.P. ("BAREIA") and Olympia & York Developments Ltd. ("O&Y"), the Company's
principal stockholders, will vote in favor of the Executive Plan Proposal and
the Common Stock Proposal. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners -- Stockholders Agreement" and "Election of Directors -- Arrangements
Regarding Nominees" for additional information concerning BAREIA and certain
agreements relating to voting of shares by BAREIA and certain other entities.
The cost of this proxy solicitation will be borne by the Company. Brokers
and nominees should forward soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the
stock held of record by such persons. The Company will reimburse such persons
for their reasonable forwarding expenses. In addition to the use of the mails,
proxies may be solicited by directors, officers and regular employees of the
Company, who will not receive additional compensation therefor, by personal
contact or by telephone or other means of communication.

(2) First year up for election to the Board of Directors.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF
THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.
ARRANGEMENTS REGARDING NOMINEES
BAREIA and the Company are parties to an agreement dated as of January 14,
1993 (as amended February 4, 1993, the "BAREIA Agreement") pursuant to which
BAREIA converted the Company's 13.5% Convertible Debenture due 1994 (the
"Debenture") into 18,989,899 shares of Common Stock and as a result of which
BAREIA now owns approximately 41.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Concurrently with the conversion, BAREIA purchased, in a private placement,
1,405,702 shares (approximately 40.7%) of the $3.75 Series A Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") sold by the Company.
The balance of the Series A Preferred Stock was sold in a public offering. The
conversion and concurrent Series A Preferred Stock issuance were effected in
February 1993.
Until February 2003 (provided that the Company is publicly held and that
BAREIA owns at least 5% of the outstanding Common Stock), the BAREIA Agreement
requires BAREIA to vote its Common Stock so that the proportion of affiliates of
BAREIA serving as members of the Board (including nominees to the Board
designated by BAREIA and proposed by the Nominating Committee) is approximately
proportionate to BAREIA's percentage Common Stock ownership. However, if BAREIA
owns 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, its nominees may include
one-half of the total number of directors plus one; if that percentage is less
than 10% but at least 5%, BAREIA will be entitled to designate at least one
director.
4
<PAGE> 7
During this ten-year period, BAREIA will vote its Common Stock to elect to the
Board at least two individuals who are not employees of the Company and are
selected by the Nominating Committee of the Board, as well as the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. The nominees for election of directors at the
Annual Meeting include Ms. Flanagan, Mr. Malkin, Mr. Seiger, Ms. Slater and Mr.
Stickel as nominees of BAREIA.
The proportion of BAREIA nominees on the Nominating Committee may not
exceed BAREIA's percentage Common Stock ownership, except that one-half of the
Nominating Committee will consist of BAREIA nominees designated by BAREIA so
long as BAREIA retains at least 35% of the outstanding Common Stock (and has not
transferred beneficial ownership of any shares owned by it on February 11, 1993
(giving effect to the conversion of the Debenture and BAREIA's concurrent Series
A Preferred Stock purchase)).
The BAREIA Agreement also provides that, as long as BAREIA owns at least
10% of the outstanding Common Stock, it will have the right to purchase a
portion of any private equity offering of the Company equal to its then
percentage Common Stock ownership.
DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Directors who are not employees of the Company receive an annual fee of
$15,000, a fee of $1,250 for each meeting of the Board of Directors (the
"Board") attended (not including actions taken by written consent or, generally,
special meetings held by telephone conference call), and an annual fee of $1,000
for each Committee of which the director is a member. Directors are also
reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses for each Board or Committee meeting
attended.
Pursuant to the Executive Plan, each non-employee director receives an
option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock upon his or her initial
appointment or election to the Board. Each option is exercisable in installments
on a cumulative basis at a rate of 20% each year beginning on the first
anniversary of the date of grant at an exercise price of 127.63% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the grant date, increasing 5% on each
anniversary of the date of grant commencing on the sixth anniversary of the
grant date, and may be exercised until the tenth anniversary of the date of
grant. See "Executive Plan and Executive Plan Proposal."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS
The Board held ten meetings during the Company's last full fiscal year. In
1993, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of
the Board and of each Committee of which such director was a member, except that
Mr. Robert Krebs and Mr. Sam Zell (who resigned from the Board of Directors
effective November 16, 1993) attended 68% and 36%, respectively, of such
meetings.
BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors has established a Policy Committee, an Audit

to nominate persons for election to the Board. The Nominating Committee will
consider nominees recommended by other stockholders but has not established any
procedure therefor. The Nominating Committee met twice in 1993. Ms. Flanagan and
Messrs. Malkin and Stickel are designees of BAREIA to the Nominating Committee.

each party has agreed to certain restrictions on transfer of its Common Stock.
When a stockholder's ownership falls below 5% of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock, it ceases to be a party to the Stockholders Agreement.
Subject to the exceptions referred to in the next paragraph, if a party
proposes to sell any of its Common Stock, such party must first offer such
securities to the other party, stating a proposed price and terms. The other
party may elect, within 30 days thereafter, to purchase its pro rata portion of
the securities so offered. If the original notice does not contain the price or
other terms of a proposed sale, it is to be treated as an "intent notice." If a
subsequent notice specifying price is given within 60 days after receipt of
notice from a party of an intention to purchase, the election purchase period is
reduced to 36 hours. In either case, if no party exercises its right to purchase
the securities or if not all of the offered securities are subscribed for, the
offering party is then free to sell such securities to a third party at the same
price and on the same terms for a period of 120 days.
The above described right of first refusal does not apply to certain
corporate transactions, such as mergers, spin-offs or other reorganizations
involving shares of Common Stock held by one of the stockholders, or to sales of
Common Stock by a party in unsolicited "brokers' transactions," as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), at
a price equal to the price generally prevailing in the market, provided that the
number of shares of Common Stock sold by a party during any three-month period
does not exceed the greater of 2% of the then outstanding Common Stock or the
four-week average reported weekly trading volume of the Common Stock. In
addition, any pledgee of Common
9
<PAGE> 12
Stock pursuant to a bona fide credit arrangement and subsequent transferees of
such pledgee will not be bound by the Stockholders Agreement.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
The Company, BAREIA and O&Y are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement
(as amended, the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Registration Rights
Agreement generally permits any person (a "Holder") owning Registrable
Securities (as defined below) to require the Company to file a registration
statement under the Securities Act, at the Company's expense, covering not less
than 20% of the Registrable Securities of such Holder (or a lesser percentage if
the aggregate offering price after subtraction of underwriting discounts and
commissions would exceed $40 million).
Each Holder may demand two such registrations (four in the case of BAREIA),
and may participate in registrations requested by any other Holder, subject to
certain volume limitations. In addition, if at any time the Company proposes to
register any Common Stock or other Company securities under the Securities Act
in connection with a public offering of such securities solely for cash, each
Holder has the right to request that any of its Registrable Securities be
included in such registration statement, subject to certain volume limitations.
The term "Registrable Securities" includes shares of Common Stock issued to
BAREIA in December 1989 and shares of Common Stock issued to O&Y and Itel in
1990 in connection with the distribution (the "Distribution") by Santa Fe
Pacific Corporation ("SFP") to its stockholders of the Common Stock held by SFP
(the "Distribution"). The term also includes the Common Stock issued upon
conversion of the Debenture formerly held by BAREIA, any Common Stock issued as
a dividend or other distribution in connection with the foregoing holdings of
Common Stock, and any equity securities purchased by BAREIA pursuant to the
BAREIA Agreement (including the Series A Preferred Stock (and Common Stock
issued upon conversion thereof), but excluding shares of any class of capital
stock purchased pursuant to a private placement (or acquired upon conversion) if
that class of stock is not publicly traded at the time registration is
requested). Shares of Common Stock cease to be classified as Registrable
Securities once such shares have been registered under the Securities Act,
distributed pursuant to Rule 144 or otherwise transferred without restriction
upon subsequent transfer, or if such shares cease to be outstanding.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION*
The Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Committee") is responsible for administering the Company's executive
compensation program. The Committee is composed of the independent non-employee
directors whose names appear at the end of this report.
The Committee has general review authority over compensation levels of all
corporate officers and key management personnel, administers employee benefit
and incentive compensation programs, and considers and recommends new benefit
programs to the Board. In addition, the Committee is responsible for reviewing
and recommending to the Board the compensation of Mr. Schwartz, who is the only
Company officer who is also a member of the Board; the Board has the sole
authority to set Mr. Schwartz' compensation. In reviewing the individual
performance of the executives whose compensation is detailed in this Proxy
Statement (other than Mr. Schwartz), the Committee takes into account the
observations and evaluations of Mr. Schwartz.
Pursuant to recently adopted rules designed to enhance disclosure of
companies' policies towards executive compensation, set forth below is a report
of the Committee addressing the Company's compensation policies for 1993 as they
affected Mr. Schwartz, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and Messrs. Gille,
Gwin, O'Gara and Smith, the four executive officers (together with Mr. Schwartz,
the "Named Executives") other than Mr. Schwartz who, for 1993, were the
Company's most highly paid executives.

OVERALL POLICY
The key elements of the Company's executive compensation program consist of
base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentive opportunities. The program is
intended to enable the Company to attract, motivate and retain senior management
by providing a fully competitive total compensation package based on both
individual and corporate performance, taking into account both annual and
long-term performance goals, and recognizing individual initiative and
achievements. It includes what the Committee believes are competitive base
salaries which reflect individual performance; annual variable performance
incentive opportunities payable in cash; and programs contingent on the
Company's long-term performance. The Committee endorses the position that stock
ownership by management and stock-based performance compensation arrangements
aid in aligning management's and stockholders' interests in the enhancement of
stockholder value. Accordingly, these elements play an important role in the
total compensation packages for the Company's executive officers.
The compensation policy of the Company is that a substantial portion of the
annual compensation of each officer relates to and must be contingent upon the
performance of the Company, as well as the individual contribution by each
officer. As a result, much of an executive officers' annual compensation,
amounting to approximately 36% (56% in the case of Mr. Schwartz) of total cash
compensation if target bonus awards are paid in full, is variable and is based
on corporate and individual performance.
ANNUAL COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Annual total cash compensation for senior management consists of base
salary and awards under the Company's Annual Performance Bonus Program (the
"Performance Bonus Program").
Base salaries for new executive officers are determined initially by
evaluating the responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the
individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for executives,
including a comparison to base salaries for comparable positions at other
companies.
Annual salary adjustments are determined by evaluating the performance of
the Company and of each executive officer, and also take into account changing
responsibilities. Where appropriate, the Committee considers non-financial
performance measures, including such elements as the productivity of the
relevant working group or business unit, and contribution to corporate goals
regarding employee morale and team-building, efficient use of corporate
resources, promotion of favorable public opinion of the Company and its
corporate image, employee retention and leadership development, and successful
tenant and vendor relations.
The Company's senior management is eligible for annual cash bonuses under
the Performance Bonus Program. This Program provides for the establishment of
various annual performance goals which, if achieved, result in the payment of
additional cash compensation to participants for that year. The program is
intended to communicate and focus management attention on key business goals and
to identify and reward superior performance. Key executives and managers who
have substantial responsibility for the Company's performance are selected to
participate in the Performance Bonus Program with the approval of the Committee.
Goals under the program for 1993 generally included corporate performance
objectives (for 20% of the bonus) and individual performance objectives (for 80%
of the bonus). The amount of a participant's bonus compensation depends upon the
degree of achievement for each identified goal, with the maximum possible award
being an amount between 10% and 125% of the participant's regular salary,
depending upon the employee's position. Individual goals are established
annually by senior management and approved by the Chief Executive Officer. The
Named Executives and the executive officers as a group, excluding Mr. Schwartz,
realized on average 43% and 41%, respectively, of their individual performance
goals for 1993.
The Company's corporate goals are recommended each year by the Chief
Executive Officer and established by the Committee. The corporate performance
measure for 1993 was based on the Company's cash flow. The Committee determined
that, for 1993, 50% of the corporate performance bonus would be payable to
participants if the targeted cash flow was met, and 100% of the bonus would be
payable if the Company achieved 120% of the targeted level. For 1993, the
corporate performance goal was exceeded and each executive officer received the
full 20% share of his or her bonus attributable to corporate performance.
11
<PAGE> 14
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PROGRAM
The long-term incentive program for senior management consists of two types
of awards under the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan
("LICP") and options granted under the Executive Plan. All of the senior
executive officers participate in these long-term plans. The primary purpose of
these plans is to offer an incentive for long term performance of the Company
over a five-year period.
The LICP provides a bonus based on the compound annual growth of the
Company's stockholders' equity (on a current value basis) for the five-year
period from January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1996. No awards are payable to
senior executive officers unless the annual compound growth in current value
stockholders' equity over the period exceeds 5%.
The Executive Plan was intended to complement the amended LICP, and to
create a long term incentive to create growth in stockholder value. The exercise
price for all options granted to senior executives in 1992 was the fair market
value on the date of the grant, increasing 5% on each anniversary of the grant
date. Except under limited circumstances in the event of termination of
employment, these options do not vest until the fifth anniversary of the grant
date. These "premium priced" options will have no realizable value to the
optionees unless the market price of the Common Stock increases more than 5% a
year, compounded annually, over the five-year period. The Company engaged an
independent compensation consultant in 1993 to assist the Committee in
evaluating its executive compensation program and, in particular, to consider
its long-term incentive compensation. The consultant conducted a private survey
of selected real estate companies to supplement available public information on
annual and long-term incentive practices in the real estate industry. Although
some of the companies surveyed by the consultant may overlap with those used in
the peer group described below, the consultant surveyed those companies, based
on such criteria as asset and sales size, it determined an appropriate
comparison for compensation purposes while the companies used in the peer group
are a more appropriate comparison for performance purposes. Based upon the
consultant's recommendations and analysis by the Committee of the information
provided by the consultant, the Committee has adopted a management pay strategy
effective for 1994 that targets total compensation at the top quartile (75th
percentile) of the market through a combination of below market (40th
percentile) salaries, continuation of the existing above average bonus
opportunity, and an aggressive long-term incentive program keyed to increases in
stockholder value. Implementation of this strategy will mean salary increases
over two to three years for those officers currently below target salary levels,
a freeze of salaries for those above the described target, and the introduction
of a new long-term incentive program designed to fill the "gap" between the top
quartile total compensation and target annual cash pay. The Committee concluded
that the new options under the Executive Plan described under "Compensation of
Executive Officers -- Executive Plan Proposal", coupled with the termination of
the LICP, will more closely align management's long-term incentive compensation
with increased stockholder value, as reflected in stock performance. The
Committee and the Board concluded that the vesting of the options based on
increased Common Stock price, together with the "front loading" of the options
to senior executives (the grant of a higher number of stock options with a
longer vesting period than a normal grant), would better align management's
interests with stockholder focus and the long-term horizons of a real estate
company.
Mr. Schwartz received a grant under the Executive Plan in March 1993 as
part of his bonus compensation for 1992. See "Agreement with Mr. Schwartz,"
below. Except for that grant, neither Mr. Schwartz nor any of the other Named
Executives received 1993 grants under the LICP or the Executive Plan. The
February 1994 grants under the Executive Plan, which are subject to stockholder
approval of the Executive Plan Proposal, are part of the Named Executives'
compensation arrangements for 1994.
AGREEMENT WITH MR. SCHWARTZ
Mr. Schwartz has resigned from the Company effective June 30, 1994.
Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and Mr. Schwartz dated February 22,
1994, Mr. Schwartz has agreed to remain in the employ of the Company until June
30, 1994, and to serve as chief executive officer until that date, or such
earlier date as the Board of Directors may designate. Mr. Schwartz received
$320,625 as his bonus under the Annual Performance Bonus Program for 1993,
representing 56% of his maximum bonus potential. This is
12
<PAGE> 15
approximately the same percentage as that received by all employees as a group
and reflects, in particular, the Board's satisfaction with the capital
restructuring accomplished in 1993 and the improved results of the Company's
industrial portfolio. Mr. Schwartz will be paid $225,000 through June 30, 1994,
and will be paid $654,375 upon termination of his employment. Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company accelerated the vesting of the stock option granted to
Mr. Schwartz in March, 1993 to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at $7.425
per share and the option became exercisable at any time through September 30,
1994. At the request of the Committee, the Policy Committee negotiated Mr.
Schwartz' severance compensation. The Policy Committee recommended its final
approval to the Board on the basis of Mr. Schwartz' agreement to assist the
Company in effecting an orderly management transition, the decision that Mr.
Schwartz would not be eligible to participate in the Annual Performance Bonus
Program or to receive any long-term incentive compensation potential for his
services to the Company in 1994, and the fact that the 1993 option grant to Mr.
Schwartz was a part of his 1992 bonus compensation.
EXECUTIVE PLAN
Recently enacted Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
amended (the "Code") limits the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of
certain compensation paid to "covered employees," which term includes the chief
executive officer and the four other most highly compensated officers of the
Company, as of the end of a performance year. The Company intends to take the
necessary steps to conform its compensation to comply with the limitations or,
if this is not feasible in any given circumstance, to mitigate the negative
impact of this Code provision on stockholders. For this reason, one proposed
amendment to the Executive Plan restricts the grants to any participant by
setting a limit on the maximum number of shares subject to grants that can be
granted in a [ -year] period. If the Executive Plan, as so amended, is approved
by stockholders, it will constitute a stockholder-approved performance-based
plan for purposes of Section 162(m), with the result that grants thereunder will
be deductible for federal tax purposes.

EXECUTIVE PLAN AND EXECUTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL
BACKGROUND
The Executive Plan is intended to provide an incentive program that is
competitive in the real estate industry and that will reward and help retain
senior management whose performance will contribute to the long-term success and
growth of the Company. The Executive Plan is also intended to further the
convergence of interests of senior management and the directors of the Company
with those of the stockholders. A total of 15 members of senior management and
ten nonemployee directors of the Company are currently participants in the
Executive Plan.
The Executive Plan is administered by the Compensation and Benefits
Committee of the Board (or any other committee appointed by the Board) each
member of which shall be a "disinterested person" within the meaning of SEC Rule
16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Executive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company and
was approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock in 1992.
The Executive Plan authorizes grants with respect to a maximum of 1,250,000
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends,
stock splits, reclassification of the Common Stock, recapitalization of the
Company or similar changes in the Company's capitalization. During 1993, the
Board adopted, and the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company's
Common Stock approved, an amendment to the Executive Plan to provide for the
automatic award of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock to any
newly elected or appointed non-employee director.
EXECUTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL
At its meeting on November 7, 1993, the Board adopted an amendment to the
Executive Plan to increase the number of shares subject to the Executive Plan
from 1,250,000 to 4,250,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, at its meeting
on , 1994, the Compensation and Benefits Committee approved an
additional amendment to the Executive Plan to limit the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be subject to grants to an individual Participant under
the Executive Plan so that it will constitute a stockholder approved
performance-based plan for purposes of Section 162(m), and, as a result, grants
thereunder will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. See "Proposed
Limitations on Grants", below. These amendments to the Executive Plan are
subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
voting at the 1994 Annual Meeting. See "General."
If the Executive Plan Proposal is approved, option grants to 15 of the
Company's executive officers, excluding Mr. Schwartz but including the other
Named Executives, will be effective. These options will be at an initial
exercise price of $9.93. See "-- February 1994 Grants".
The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Executive
Plan and the amendments thereto to be presented for approval at the Annual
Meeting.
TYPE OF GRANTS
Except with respect to options granted to non-employee directors and
subject to the limits described in "Proposed Limitations on Grants" below, the
Compensation and Benefits Committee will have the sole authority to determine to
whom options (a right to purchase a stated number of shares at a specified price
within a given period) shall be granted under the Executive Plan, the type,
amount and terms of the options to be granted, the time when options will be
granted and the duration of the exercise period of options. Grants pursuant to
the Executive Plan will take the form of "nonstatutory stock options" (stock
options that do not provide special tax deferral benefits for federal income tax
purposes).
No option granted pursuant to the Executive Plan will be exercisable prior
to six months after the date of grant. Unless the Compensation and Benefits
Committee provides otherwise, options granted under the Executive Plan to
employees will become exercisable in full on the fifth anniversary from the date
of grant (the "Vesting Date"). The exercise price of an option may not be less
than the fair market value of the
15
<PAGE> 18
Common Stock on the date of grant. Unless the Compensation and Benefits
Committee provides otherwise, the exercise price for all options granted to
employees will initially be set at the fair market value of the Common Stock on
the date of grant and will increase by 5% on each anniversary of the grant date.
Options granted to directors will become exercisable in installments on a
cumulative basis at a rate of 20% each year beginning on the first anniversary
of the grant date; the exercise price for the options is 127.63% of the fair
market value on the date of grant increasing 5% on each anniversary of the grant
date commencing on the sixth anniversary.
A participant may exercise an option granted under the Executive Plan
during the option period at such time and in such amounts as he or she desires,
and may pay the exercise price in cash or such other consideration (which may be
other Common Stock) as the Committee may determine. Unless otherwise provided in
the option agreement, options are exercisable for a term of ten years from the
date of grant.
If an employee participant is terminated "for cause" (as defined in the
Executive Plan), or resigns prior to the Vesting Date, all outstanding options
shall be forfeited. Termination of a participant "for cause" after the Vesting
Date will also result in termination of the participant's options. If an
employee ceases to be an employee by reason of his retirement at or after age
65, disability (as defined) or death prior to the Vesting Date, a fraction of
the option will vest, equal to the number of months elapsed from date of grant
divided by the number of months from date of grant to the Vesting Date.
If a participant ceases to be an employee or director by reason of death,
any unexercised portion of the participant's options that is or becomes vested
upon his death will be exercisable for one year after such death. During such
one-year period, the participant's personal representative, or the person or
persons to whom the options shall have been transferred by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, shall have the same rights to exercise the
unexercised portion of the options, to the extent so vested, as the participant
would have had if the participant were still an employee or director of the
Company. If an employee resigns or is terminated for any reason other than death
or "for cause" (after the Vesting Date), or if a director resigns or is not
re-elected, any unexercised portion of such person's options that is or becomes
vested upon such termination of employment, resignation or failure to be
re-elected will be exercisable for the three months following such termination,
to the extent so vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will any
option be exercisable after its stated expiration date.
The Executive Plan may be amended, terminated or modified by the
Compensation and Benefits Committee at any time, except that it may not amend
the Executive Plan in any of the following respects without approval by a vote
of the stockholders of the Company (other than in the event of changes in the
Company's capitalization), (i) increase the number of shares of Common Stock for
which options may be granted, (ii) reduce the option price at which options may
be granted, (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants
under the Executive Plan or (iv) modify any other terms required by SEC Rule
16(b) or Section 162(m) of the Code to be approved by stockholders. No such
termination, modification or amendment may affect the rights of a participant
under an outstanding option.
PROPOSED LIMITATIONS ON GRANTS
Section 162(m) of the Code establishes certain requirements that must be
met for annual executive compensation exceeding $1 million to be deductible by
the employer corporation for federal income tax purposes, including stockholder
approval of certain compensation plan limitations and approval of such
compensation by the corporation's non-employee directors. In order to comply
with the Section 162(m) requirements, the amendments to the Executive Plan now
being presented by the Board of Directors for stockholder approval at the Annual
Meeting provide for a limitation such that total grants under the Executive Plan
to any participant are limited so that no participant shall receive any grant
under the Executive Plan to the extent that the sum of the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the grant and the number of shares of Common Stock
subject to all other prior grants under the Executive Plan during the [ -year]
period ending on the date of the grant exceed [ ] shares of Common
Stock. Grants to any participant may be less than [ ] over the
[ -year] period, but may never exceed such amount.
16
<PAGE> 19
In addition, actual grants to any participant must be determined by those
committee members who are "outside directors" (within the meaning of Section
162(m) of the Code).
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Under present Federal income tax regulations, there will be no Federal
income tax consequences to either the participant or the Company upon the grant
of any option under the Executive Plan.
In general, upon the exercise of an option granted under the Executive
Plan, a participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of
the option over the option exercise price. The Company will receive a
corresponding deduction upon such exercise if the Company provides for
appropriate withholding of applicable participant taxes.
Upon a subsequent disposition of the Common Stock purchased on exercise of
an option, the participant's basis in the shares will be the sum of the option
exercise price and the amount of any income recognized upon such exercise. If
the shares purchased on exercise of the option constitute a capital asset in the
hands of the participant, the participant's gain or loss will be a capital gain
or loss, which will be either long-term or short-term, depending upon the
participant's holding period.
PRIOR OPTION GRANTS
Pursuant to the Executive Plan, each director of the Company (other than
Mr. Schwartz) was granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock and
16 members of senior management were granted options to purchase an aggregate of
1,001,000 shares of Common Stock, of which options to purchase 821,000 shares
were outstanding at March 1, 1994. This includes options awarded to Mr. Schwartz
and the other Named Executives, as described in the "Summary Compensation Table"
above. In February 1993, each of the four newly elected directors was granted
options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. No existing director, in his
capacity as a director, is eligible to receive any further grants under the
Executive Plan. On March 17, 1993, Mr. Schwartz was granted an option to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.425.
FEBRUARY 1994 GRANTS
Options to purchase 1,283,500 shares of Common Stock were granted to
officers of the Company effective February 1, 1994, subject to stockholder
approval of the Executive Plan Proposal and termination of their respective
awards under the LICP (see below). The exercise price of these options is $9.93,
which was the "fair market value" of the Common Stock as defined in the
Executive Plan on the grant date. These options expire February 1, 2004.
No portion of the award may vest for three years following the date of
grant except in the event of a participant's death, disability or retirement.
After three years have elapsed from the date of grant, all or part of the award
may vest in accordance with the following performance provisions:
- One-third of the award will vest if the closing sale price of the
Common Stock equals or exceeds $12 for at least ten consecutive
trading days;
- An additional one-third of the award will vest if the closing sale
price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $15 for at least ten
consecutive trading days; and
- The final one-third of the award will vest if the closing sale price
of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $20 for at least ten
consecutive trading days.
Upon a participant's death, disability or retirement, the options will vest
at the greater of 20% for each full year that has elapsed from the date of grant
or the amount already vested due to stock price performance. Upon certain
changes of control, vesting remains tied to the original stock price performance
objectives, but, if a change of control occurs within the first three years from
the date of grant, the three-year vesting restriction
17
<PAGE> 20
is waived to the extent that the Common Stock trading price would otherwise
trigger performance-based vesting. If no vesting acceleration occurs, the
options vest nine years and nine months from the date of grant.
TERMINATED BENEFIT PLAN
The following plan was terminated by the Board of Directors on November 17,
1993, subject to the termination of all outstanding awards. If the Executive
Plan Proposal is approved by stockholders, each LICP participant will be
required to agree to the termination of his or her LICP award before the
February 1994 option award to him or her is effective.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program
The LICP was adopted in 1990 and amended in February 1992. The LICP is an
unfunded program pursuant to which participants were to share a percentage of
the aggregate incremental value of the Company's stockholders' equity (on a
current value basis) over the five-year period from January 1, 1992 to December
31, 1996. The amount of the LICP award pool would range from one-quarter of one
percent of the incremental value (if the annual compound growth over the period
exceeded 5%) to 1% of the incremental value (if the annual compound growth
exceeded 20%); there would be no LICP award pool if the annual compound growth
were less than 5%.
The LICP is administered by the Compensation and Benefits Committee. Up to
9% of the LICP award pool (determined on an annual basis) may be allocated each
year among corporate and regional management (excluding executive officers). All
other allocations under the LICP were to be awarded to officers and other senior
management as a specified percentage of the total award pool, calculated on the
basis of the increase in stockholders' equity over the entire five-year period.
Except for partial awards payable on the retirement, death or disability of a
participant, awards under the LICP are payable only if the participant is
employed by the Company at December 31, 1996. Certain executive officers, who
may be allocated in the aggregate up to 85% of the LICP award pool, would
receive a portion of their awards in cash (equal to the amount of income tax
payable on the award) and the balance in the Company's Common Stock (the number
of shares of Common Stock to be based upon the then market value per share). The
amount of the total LICP award pool and the award payable to any participant is
dependent upon the future increase in stockholders' equity and each
participant's continued employment by the Company.
No LICP awards were granted in 1993.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE EXECUTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.
No options were granted to the Named Executives in 1993, other than the

COMPARISON OF CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS*
The following is a comparison of the cumulative total stockholder return on
a $100 investment in the Company's Common Stock with the cumulative total
return, including reinvestment of dividends, of a $100 investment in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Index and in a peer group index for the
period from December 4, 1990 (the day the Common Stock commenced trading). The
total return on the Company's Common Stock is measured by dividing the
difference between the Common Stock price at the end and the beginning of the
measurement period by the Common Stock price at the beginning of the measurement
period.

THE COMMON STOCK PROPOSAL
BACKGROUND
The Company entered into a Placement Agreement, dated October 28, 1993 (the
"Placement Agreement"), with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (the "Placement
Agent") under which the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of (the "$3.625 Series B
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share
Series B Preferred Stock") on November 4, 1993 in a private placement. The
Series B Preferred Stock was sold by the Placement Agent to qualified
institutional buyers and other institutional accredited investors. The Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders thereof at any time
after 60 days following the date of initial issuance and prior to maturity, at
an initial conversion price of $9.80 per share, subject to adjustment from time
to time upon the occurrence of certain events. If all of the Series B Preferred
Shares were converted, 15,306,000 shares of Common Stock would be issued. Net
proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock will be used over time to
repay certain of the Company's indebtedness scheduled to mature in 1994 and
through 1997 and for general corporate purposes.
The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time on or after November
15, 1996 at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, initially at a
redemption price of $52.5375 per share, and thereafter at prices declining to
$50 per share on or after November 15, 2003, plus dividends accrued and unpaid
to the redemption date. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will be
cumulative from the date of issuance and are payable quarterly out of funds
legally available therefor on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of
each year, commencing February 15, 1994. The Series B Preferred Stock is also
exchangeable in whole or in part (but in no more than two parts) at the option
of the Company on any dividend payment date beginning November 15, 1995, for the
Company's 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due November 15, 2018, (the
"Debentures") at the rate of $50 principal amount of Debentures for each share
of Series B Preferred Stock. The Debentures will contain conversion and optional
redemption provisions substantially identical to those of the Series B Preferred
Stock.
THE NYSE APPROVAL REQUIREMENT
The Series B Preferred Stock was issued in accordance with Delaware
corporate law and pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board by the
Company's stockholders in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended (the "Charter"). The Board approved the issuance of the Series B
Preferred Stock because the Board believed such issuance would provide the
Company with needed additional capital to fund the Company's business strategy
at a reasonable cost while minimizing the dilutive effect of the issuance of
additional stock on the Company's existing stockholders (as reflected in the
premium represented by the conversion price ($9.80 per share) over the closing
market price ($7.875 per share) on October 28, 1993, the date of the Placement
Agreement).
It is the policy of the NYSE, on which the Company's outstanding Common
Stock is listed for trading, to require stockholder approval of the issuance,
other than in a public offering, of common stock or securities convertible into
Common Stock if such common stock (including Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such convertible securities) has, or would have upon issuance,
voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before
such issuance. If all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock were outstanding on October 28, 1993, and if the Series A
Preferred Stock had not been converted, such shares would represent
approximately 21% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance. Giving effect to the prior conversion of all of the Series A Preferred
Stock, which is convertible at $9.06 per share, the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock would represent approximately 17% of
the outstanding Common Stock. If all of the Series B Preferred Stock were
converted, but none of the Series A, the voting power of the existing holders of
the Common Stock would be diluted by approximately 21%.
The stockholders are being asked to approve the Common Stock Proposal in
response to the policy of the NYSE. The affirmative vote of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to approve the Proposal. If the
required affirmative vote by the stockholders is not obtained, the Series B
Preferred Stock
21
<PAGE> 24
will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms, including the right to
convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
Because of the importance of maintaining a market for the trading of the
Company's Common Stock on the NYSE, the Board recommends that the stockholders
vote FOR the Common Stock Proposal. Although BAREIA, which owned approximately
41.1% of the shares entitled to vote as of the record date for the Annual
Meeting, has informed the Company that it intends to vote its shares for the
Proposal, if the required stockholder approval were not obtained, the NYSE could
commence delisting proceedings. In such an event, the Company would seek another
exchange or market for the trading of its Common Stock.
CONVERSION RIGHT
Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are convertible at any time at the
option of the holder thereof into such number of whole shares of Common Stock as
is equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion divided by the conversion price of
$9.80 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below.
The initial conversion price of $9.80 per share of Common Stock is subject
to adjustment (under formulae set forth in the Certificate of Designation for
the Series B Preferred Stock) in certain events, including: (i) the issuance of
Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on Common Stock of the Company; (ii)
certain subdivisions and combinations of the Common Stock; (iii) the issuance to
all holders of Common Stock of certain rights or warrants to purchase Common
Stock; (iv) the distribution to all holders of Common Stock of shares of capital
stock of the Company (other than Common Stock) or evidences of indebtedness of
the Company or assets (including securities, but excluding those rights,
warrants, dividends and distributions referred to above and dividends and
distributions in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company or paid in cash); (v) distributions consisting of cash, excluding
(x) any quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that the
aggregate cash dividend per share of Common Stock in any quarter does not exceed
the greater of (A) the amount per share of Common Stock of the next preceding
quarterly cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent that such preceding
quarterly dividend did not require an adjustment of the conversion price
pursuant to this clause (v) (as adjusted to reflect subdivisions or combinations
of the Common Stock), and (B) 3.75 percent of the Current Market Price (as
defined in the Certificate of Designation) of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) immediately prior to the date
of declaration of such dividend, and (y) any dividend or distribution in
connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and
(vi) payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company for the Common Stock to the extent that the cash and
value of any other consideration included in such payment per share of Common
Stock exceeds the current market price per share of Common Stock on the trading
day next preceding the date on which the Company becomes irrevocably obligated
to make such payment.
To the extent permitted by law, the Company from time to time may reduce
the conversion price by any amount for any period of at least 20 days, if the
Board has made a determination that such reduction would be in the best
interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. In the event
of certain extraordinary corporation transactions, a holder may receive
significantly different consideration upon conversion.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") and the Exchange. These persons are required by regulation of
the Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.
22
<PAGE> 25
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1993, except as described in the next sentence, the Company's
officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners complied with
all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements. Mr. O'Gara failed to timely
file a Form 4 to report the sale of all of his shares of Common Stock.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Distribution, the Company and SFP and its affiliates had from
time to time entered into intercompany transactions and agreements incident to
their respective businesses. Substantially all such intercompany transactions
were terminated in December 1989 upon the sale of Common Stock to BAREIA. The
Company entered into several other agreements with SFP or its affiliates
described below at the time of the sale of Common Stock to BAREIA. The Company's
management believes that such transactions, as well as the other transactions
described below, are on terms at least as favorable to the Company as it could
obtain from third parties.
TRANSACTIONS WITH SFP AND ITS AFFILIATES
SFP LEASE. Pursuant to a lease entered into in October 1988, and amended
on February 11, 1994, SFP leases approximately 250,000 feet of office space in
Chicago from the Company for an annual rental of approximately $6 million. The
lease expires in September 1998 but SFP has the right to terminate the lease
after April 1, 1995. SFP's rental obligation is reduced to the extent that the
space is sublet to third parties.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. In November 1989, the Company entered into
a Management Agreement with ATSF pursuant to which the Company agreed to act as
exclusive management and selling agent for ATSF's non-operating railroad
property located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The Management
Agreement, which was amended and restated in December 1990, continues in effect
until December 31, 1994, subject to termination upon 180 days' notice. ATSF has
agreed to pay certain management fees and sales commissions to the Company with
respect to the managed properties and fees for consulting services. The Company
earned $4.8 million in 1993 for fees and commissions under the Management
Agreement.
EXPLORATION AGREEMENT WITH SANTA FE PACIFIC MINERALS CORPORATION. The
Company entered into an Exploration Agreement and Option to Lease (the
"Exploration Agreement") with Santa Fe Pacific Minerals Corporation ("SFP
Minerals"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFP, pursuant to which the Company
granted to SFP Minerals the exclusive use of any and all rights the Company may
have to conduct all activities relating to the discovery and evaluation of
minerals on the Company's mountain and desert property in Utah and Nevada and
certain desert property in California (the "Subject Lands"). The Company has the
right to terminate the Exploration Agreement as to any Subject Lands at the time
it sells or exchanges such land, subject to SFP Minerals' right of first refusal
to purchase any Subject Lands on the same terms and conditions as are contained
in a third party offer. SFP Minerals is obligated to spend one dollar per acre
per year on exploration activities on the Subject Lands. The Company also
granted to SFP Minerals an exclusive continuing option to acquire mining leases
as to all or any portions of the Subject Lands. These leases can be acquired on
SFP Minerals' own behalf or on behalf of an unaffiliated third party, provided
that SFP Minerals remains fully liable to the Company for all obligations under
the leases. The Exploration Agreement and Option to Lease continues through
December 31, 2014. No payments were made to the Company by SFP Minerals under
the Exploration Agreement in 1993.
TRANSACTION WITH AFFILIATE OF BAREIA
In 1989, the Company entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of the
general partner of BAREIA to own, develop and operate a 387-unit apartment
complex in San Diego, California. Prior to the formation of the joint venture,
the Company sold a 50% undivided interest in a parcel of land to the affiliate.
Both parties subsequently contributed their respective 50% interests in this
parcel of land to the joint venture for 50%
23
<PAGE> 26
equity interests in the joint venture. An affiliate of the general partner has
been hired to perform leasing and property management services for the apartment
complex. The total paid for leasing and property management services for 1993
was $61,000 and $134,000, respectively.
In addition, an affiliate of the general partner of BAREIA functioned as a
broker to place the Company's property and earthquake insurance for 1993 and was
paid commissions of approximately $89,000 in 1993 for its services.
FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993,
including financial statements, is being sent to stockholders of record as of
the close of business on April 29, 1994 together with this Proxy Statement. The
Company will furnish, without charge, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993 as filed with the Commission to any
stockholder who submits a written request to the Vice President Corporate
Communications, at the Company's offices, 201 Mission Street, San Francisco,
California 94105.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Price Waterhouse, the Company's independent public accountants, has
examined the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1993. The Company expects representatives of Price Waterhouse to be present
at the Annual Meeting and to be available to respond to appropriate questions
from stockholders. The Price Waterhouse representatives will be given an
opportunity to make a statement if they desire.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at the 1995 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its principal
executive offices not later than January 2, 1995 for inclusion in the Company's
proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the meeting.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors knows of no matters to be presented for action by
the stockholders at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy
Statement. Unless otherwise indicated, if any other matter is properly brought
before the meeting and may be properly acted upon, the persons named in the
accompanying form of proxy will be authorized by such proxy to vote the proxies
thereon in accordance with their best judgment.
