            This Amendment No. 13 (this "Amendment") is filed by Security
Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital Group"), a Maryland corporation,
SC Realty Incorporated, a Nevada corporation and an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Security Capital Group ("SC-Realty"), and by Security Capital
Holdings S.A. ("Holdings"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of Luxembourg and a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Group, and
amends the Schedule 13D originally filed by Holdings and Security Capital U.S.
Realty ("SC-U.S. Realty"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws
of Luxembourg on March 8, 1996 (as previously amended, the "Schedule 13D"). This
Amendment No. 13 relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock"), of Storage USA, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Storage").
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

            As previously reported, on September 26, 2000, SC-U.S. Realty
entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement") with Security
Capital Group and SC-Realty. The Transaction Agreement provided, among other
things, for the sale by SC-U.S. Realty of all the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of Holdings owned by SC-U.S. Realty to SC-Realty, all upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the
"Sale Transaction"). On January 16, 2001, the parties consummated the Sale
Transaction, as a result of which, Security Capital Group and SC-Realty through
their ownership of capital stock of Holdings, beneficially own all of the shares
of Common Stock owned by Holdings, and SC-U.S. Realty has ceased to beneficially
own any shares of Common Stock.

            The foregoing summary of the terms of the Transaction Agreement and
the Sale Transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of
the Transaction Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10 to the Schedule 13D and hereby
incorporated herein by reference.
