the merger of SCI's REIT manager and property manager with and into a
subsidiary of SCI in exchange for SCI common shares, (ii) the issuance
by SCI to its common shareholders of rights to subscribe for and purchase
additional SCI common shares at a discount to the price of those being
acquired by Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") and (iii)
the issuance by Security Capital of warrants to purchase shares of Class B
Common Stock of Security Capital directly to holders of SCI common shares and

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
PROXY STATEMENT
-----------
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
PROSPECTUS
-----------
This Proxy Statement and Prospectus relates to (i) a proposed transaction
pursuant to which Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI") will acquire,
through a merger transaction (the "Merger"), the operations and businesses of
its REIT manager and property manager currently being conducted through wholly
owned subsidiaries of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"),
in exchange for SCI common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par
value per share ("Common Shares"), and pursuant to which Security Capital will
issue (the "Warrant Issuance") warrants having an aggregate exercise price of
$101,029,642 (the "Warrants"), each to purchase one share of Class B Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class B Shares"), of Security Capital
directly to holders of SCI Common Shares, holders of SCI's outstanding
Cumulative Convertible Series B Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $0.01
par value per share (the "Series B Preferred Shares") and holders of limited
partnership interests ("Units") in four partnerships in which SCI is the
general partner, which Units are exchangeable for Common Shares, in each case,
other than Security Capital, all as contemplated by the terms of a Merger and
Issuance Agreement dated as of March 24, 1997, as amended (the "Merger
Agreement"); (ii) the approval of an amendment to SCI's Amended and Restated
Declaration of Trust, as amended (the "Declaration of Trust"), exempting the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transaction") from
certain provisions of the Declaration of Trust which restrict transactions with
affiliates; and (iii) the approval of the Security Capital Industrial Trust
1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1997 Incentive Plan").
SCI is soliciting proxies from holders of Common Shares for use at a Special
Meeting of Shareholders of SCI scheduled to be held on , 1997 and at
any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Special Meeting") to consider the
matters described above. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this
Proxy Statement and Prospectus as Annex I and is incorporated herein by
reference. A copy of the 1997 Incentive Plan is attached to this Proxy
Statement and Prospectus as Annex II and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Proxy Statement and Prospectus constitutes both the proxy statement of
SCI relating to the solicitation of proxies by SCI's Board of Trustees (the
"Board of Trustees") for use at the Special Meeting, and the prospectus of
Security Capital with respect to the Warrants. The actual number of Warrants
(which will have an aggregate exercise price of $101,029,642) that will be
issued will depend on both the price at which the Class B Shares are trading on
the Warrant Issuance Date (as hereafter defined), and on the number of Common
Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units outstanding on the record date
determined by the Board of Directors of Security Capital (the "Warrant Issuance
Record Date"). The exercise price for each Warrant will be equal to the closing
price of a Class B Share on the Warrant Issuance Date. The number of Warrants
to be received by each holder of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and
Units will not be determined until after the shareholders approve the
Transaction. Information concerning Security Capital is set forth in the
Security Capital Prospectus attached hereto and is incorporated herein by
reference. This Proxy Statement and Prospectus and the enclosed form of proxy
are first being sent to holders of Common Shares on or about , 1997. A
shareholder who returns a signed proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its
exercise.
Concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction, SCI expects to close a
rights offering of up to $ of Common Shares (the "Concurrent Rights
Offering"). The Concurrent Rights Offering is being made pro rata to holders of
Common Shares at $ per share, which is below the price at which Security
Capital will receive Common Shares in the Merger. The price of the Common
Shares to be issued in the Concurrent Rights Offering is equal to % of the
five-day trailing average closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior
to the SCI Record Date (as hereafter defined). Security Capital has agreed that
it will not exercise any rights it receives in the Concurrent Rights Offering.
Accordingly, the Concurrent Rights Offering represents an opportunity for
holders of Common Shares to maintain their proportionate interest in Common
Shares. The Concurrent Rights Offering is being made pursuant to a separate
prospectus of SCI. See "The Transaction--Concurrent Rights Offering."
SEE "RISK FACTORS" AT PAGE 12 OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS FOR A
DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN EVALUATING THE
TRANSACTION.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-
looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about the industry and markets in which SCI operates, management's
beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as "expects,"
"anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates,"
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are
difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. SCI's operating results depend primarily on income from
distribution properties, which is substantially influenced by (i) the demand
for and supply of distribution properties in SCI's primary target market and
submarkets, (ii) operating expense levels, (iii) the effectiveness of
property-level operations and (iv) the pace and price at which SCI can acquire
and develop additional distribution properties. Capital and credit market
conditions which affect SCI's cost of capital also influence operating
results.

SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus
(including the Security Capital Prospectus attached hereto and the Annexes
hereto) or incorporated herein by reference. Shareholders are urged to review
the entire Proxy Statement and Prospectus, the Security Capital Prospectus and
the Annexes hereto. For a description of funds from operations, see Note (4) to
the "SCI Historical and Pro Forma Summary Financial Data" included herein.
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained herein regarding SCI assumes

Common Shares and (ii) no outstanding options or warrants to acquire Common
Shares are exercised and no Units are exchanged for Common Shares prior to the
Warrant Issuance Record Date.
SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
SCI is the largest publicly held owner and operator of distribution
properties in the United States based on equity market capitalization. SCI is
an international operating company focused exclusively on meeting the
distribution space needs of international, regional and local industrial real
estate users through the SCI International Operating System(TM). SCI
distinguishes itself from its competition by being the only entity that
combines all of the following:
1. An international operating strategy targeting 1,000 key users of
distribution space;
2. A disciplined investment strategy based on proprietary research that
targets high growth markets with sustainable demand for SCI's low
finish distribution space product;
3. An organizational structure and service delivery system built around
the customer; SCI believes its service approach is unique to the real
estate industry as it combines international scope and expertise with
strong local presence; and
4. Over 270 professionals in 32 offices which SCI believes comprise the
deepest and most experienced management team in industrial real
estate.
The cornerstone of SCI's operating strategy is the SCI International
Operating System(TM) comprised of the Market Services Group, the National
Services Group and the National Development Group that utilizes SCI's national
and international network of distribution space to provide an exceptional level
of customer service, including development on an international, regional and
local basis.
SCI has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") for
federal income tax purposes. SCI's predecessor was formed in June 1991 as a
Delaware corporation, and SCI was re-formed as a Maryland real estate
investment trust organized in January 1993. Its principal executive offices are
located at 14100 East 35th Place, Aurora, Colorado 80011, and its telephone
number is (303) 375-9292.
RISK FACTORS
In considering whether to approve the matters described herein, SCI
shareholders should consider the following matters in addition to the matters
described in greater detail herein under "Risk Factors." ADDITIONALLY, SCI
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER THOSE MATTERS DESCRIBED UNDER THE CAPTION "RISK
FACTORS," BEGINNING ON PAGE 8 IN THE SECURITY CAPITAL PROSPECTUS, WITH RESPECT
TO THE OWNERSHIP OF WARRANTS.
. There may be alternative methods of determining the value of the
management companies contributed by Security Capital to SCI which could
result in higher or lower valuations for such management companies.
. Although a special committee of independent trustees was appointed and it
retained its own legal counsel and financial advisor to evaluate the
Transaction, no independent representatives were retained to negotiate
the terms of the Transaction on behalf of SCI.
1
<PAGE>
. Conflicts of interest may exist as a result of Security Capital's control
over SCI.
. Security Capital will continue to exercise significant influence over the
business and policies of SCI after the Transaction due to its (i)
continued presence as the largest shareholder of SCI, (ii) contractual
right to nominate up to three members to the Board of Trustees and (iii)
contractual right to prior approval and consultation regarding certain
matters.
. The Warrants (and the Class B Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) are
not currently traded and there may be no public trading market in which
shareholders can dispose of the Warrants (and the Class B Common Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof) received in connection with the
Transaction.
THE SPECIAL MEETING
THE MEETING
The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held at a.m., local time, on
, , 1997, at . The Board of Trustees has fixed
the close of business on , 1997 as the record date (the "SCI
Record Date") for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. See "The Special Meeting."
THE PROPOSALS
At the Special Meeting, holders of Common Shares will be asked to consider
and vote upon the following matters:
. The approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction;
. The approval of an amendment to the Declaration of Trust exempting the
Transaction from certain provisions of the Declaration of Trust which
restrict transactions with affiliates; and
. The approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTION, THE AMENDMENT TO THE DECLARATION OF TRUST AND THE 1997 INCENTIVE
PLAN, AND RECOMMENDS THAT HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF
THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION, THE AMENDMENT TO THE DECLARATION OF
TRUST AND THE APPROVAL OF THE 1997 INCENTIVE PLAN. SEE "THE TRANSACTION--
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION."
REQUIRED VOTE
The Declaration of Trust provides that any amendments require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares. Because an amendment of
the Declaration of Trust is required to consummate the Transaction, the Board
of Trustees has also conditioned the Transaction on the approval by the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Shares. Therefore, the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
Common Shares is required to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction
and to approve the amendment to the Declaration of Trust. Assuming the
existence of a quorum at the Special Meeting, the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting is required to
approve the 1997 Incentive Plan. The approval by shareholders of the amendment
to the Declaration of Trust is a condition to the consummation of the
Transaction. The approval by shareholders of the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction and the approval of the amendment to the Declaration of Trust are
conditions to the approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan. As of June 6, 1997,
Security Capital beneficially owned approximately 44% of the outstanding Common
Shares. See "The Special Meeting--Voting Rights." Security Capital has agreed,
subject to certain conditions, to vote all Common Shares owned by it in favor
of the proposals. Therefore, the affirmative vote of holders of an additional
approximately 6% of the outstanding Common Shares will be required to approve
each of the proposals.

THE TRANSACTION
BACKGROUND
SCI believes that much of its historical growth has resulted from its
relationship with Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "REIT Manager")
which has provided SCI with certain advantages, including access to management
personnel with extensive real estate expertise, a well-developed, fully
integrated organization, highly focused research and other administrative
support, all at costs below that which SCI would have incurred for providing
the same level and breadth of services internally. Currently, SCI pays a fee to
the REIT Manager based on a fixed percentage of SCI's cash flow (as defined)
which increases proportionately as SCI adds assets. The Board of Trustees
believes that SCI has reached a sufficient size to realize economies of scale
by internalizing the management function since SCI will have sufficient depth
of management and personnel such that additional assets can be acquired,
developed and managed without a significant increase in personnel or other
costs. These economies of scale should result in an increase in the level of
growth in funds from operations. The Transaction will allow SCI to terminate
the existing management agreements with the REIT Manager and SCI Client
Services Incorporated (the "Property Manager") and become an internally managed
REIT. It is expected that SCI will continue to purchase certain administrative
services from Security Capital following completion of the Transaction. For a
description of the terms of the agreement regarding such administrative
services, see "The Transaction--Administrative Services Agreement."
The REIT Manager and Property Manager are each owned by Security Capital,
which owned approximately 44% of SCI's Common Shares as of June 6, 1997.
Substantially all officers of SCI are employees of the REIT Manager and SCI has
no employees. The REIT Manager and Property Manager currently employ
approximately 277 professionals and 135 property level and support personnel.
Pursuant to the terms of a REIT Management Agreement (as defined below) between
SCI and the REIT Manager, the REIT Manager provides both strategic and day-to-
day management for SCI in exchange for a REIT management fee equal to
approximately 16% of SCI's cash flow (as defined). The REIT Management
Agreement is renewable by SCI annually, subject to a determination by SCI's
independent trustees that the REIT Manager's performance has been satisfactory
and that the compensation payable to the REIT Manager is fair. Either SCI or
the REIT Manager may terminate the REIT Management Agreement on 60 days'
notice. For the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI paid the REIT Manager fees totalling approximately
$6.6 million, $21.5 million, $14.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
As of May 31, 1997, the Property Manager managed approximately 96.3% of SCI's
properties, based on square feet. Rates for services performed by the Property
Manager range between 1.5% and 3.0% per annum of property revenues and are
subject to annual approval by SCI's independent trustees. During the quarter
ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI
paid the Property Manager aggregate fees of approximately $3.6 million, $10.1
million, $4.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for property management
and leasing commissions. Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 1997
and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI reimbursed the
Property Manager for maintenance recovery expenditures of $506,000, $1.7
million, $600,000 and $22,000, respectively, which were collected from SCI's
customers. For a further description of these agreements, see "The
Transaction--REIT Management Agreement" and "--Property Management Agreement."
The purchase price of $81,870,626 that will be paid for the REIT Manager and
the Property Manager under the terms of the Transaction was based on a three-
year discounted cash flow analysis prepared by Security Capital and revised
after negotiation with the Special Committee of the Board of Trustees. See "The
Transaction--Background" and "--Recommendations of the Board of Trustees and
Reasons for the Transaction." Security Capital has estimated that the
negotiated purchase price of approximately $81.9 million represents a multiple
of 6.5 times the net change in SCI's 1997 pro forma funds from operations
assuming that the Transaction occurred as of January 1, 1997 and assuming the
stabilization of pre-stabilized operating assets that are in the process of
being repositioned and the stabilization of assets that are under development
or in lease up. The term
3
<PAGE>
"stabilization" means that capital improvements, repositioning, new management
and new marketing programs (or development and marketing, in the case of newly
developed properties) have been completed and in effect for a sufficient period
of time (but in no case longer than 12 months for properties acquired by SCI
and 12 months after shell completion for properties developed by SCI) to
achieve stabilized occupancy (typically 93%, but ranging from 90% to 95%,
depending on the submarket and product type) at market rents. By making these
adjustments, the stabilized multiple calculation takes into account not only
the costs that SCI would incur in developing or transitioning these assets but
also the fee that would otherwise have been paid to the REIT Manager as those
properties generated additional cash flow. At May 31, 1997, SCI had $274.0
million of prestabilized assets and $223.4 million of distribution properties
under development (based on total expected investment).
TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
In January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to the Board of Trustees
that Security Capital exchange the REIT Manager and the Property Manager for
Common Shares, with the result that SCI would become an internally managed
REIT. On March 17, 1997, a special committee of independent trustees of the
Board of Trustees (the "Special Committee") recommended that the Board of
Trustees approve the Transaction, subject to definitive documentation.
Following the meeting of the Special Committee, the full Board of Trustees
approved the Merger Agreement and the Transaction. On March 24, 1997, SCI and
Security Capital entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Security Capital will cause the REIT Manager and the Property
Manager to be merged into a newly formed subsidiary of SCI. The employees of
the REIT Manager and the Property Manager will become employees of SCI as a
result of the Merger, which will be consummated as follows:
. Security Capital will transfer all of its shares of the REIT Manager and
the Property Manager to a newly formed subsidiary of SCI in exchange for
Common Shares valued at approximately $81.9 million.
. The number of Common Shares to be issued to Security Capital was based on
the average market price of the Common Shares over the five-day period
prior to the SCI Record Date.
. In order to allow holders of Common Shares to maintain their relative
ownership in SCI, SCI is conducting the Concurrent Rights Offering
entitling holders of Common Shares to purchase up to approximately $
million of additional Common Shares. Security Capital has agreed not to
exercise any rights it receives in the Concurrent Rights Offering. The
exercise price for Common Shares in the Concurrent Rights Offering is
$ , which is below the price at which Common Shares will be issued to
Security Capital in the Merger. Any Common Shares issued pursuant to the
Concurrent Rights Offering will be offered only by means of a separate
prospectus which is being mailed concurrently with this Proxy Statement
and Prospectus. The closing of the Concurrent Rights Offering is
contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction.
. As part of the Transaction, and in order to induce holders of Common
Shares to vote in favor of the Transaction, to broaden Security Capital's
shareholder base, to enable Security Capital to raise additional equity
capital at a relatively low cost through exercises of Warrants and to
enable Security Capital to raise additional equity capital in the long
run by preserving and enhancing its goodwill with the shareholders of
SCI, Security Capital will issue Warrants pro rata to SCI's shareholders,
other than Security Capital, to acquire Class B Shares having an
aggregate exercise price at the time of the Warrant Issuance of
approximately $101.0 million. The Warrant Issuance will occur subject to
and after the closing of the Merger and subject to and after the closing
of the Concurrent Rights Offering. The number of Warrants to be received
by each shareholder in the Warrant Issuance will be determined after
SCI's shareholders have approved the Transaction. The number of Class B
Shares subject to the Warrants will be based on the closing price of the
Class B Shares on the date the Warrants are issued to the Warrant
Issuance Agent (as defined below) for subsequent distribution to holders
of Common Shares, Series B
4
<PAGE>
Preferred Shares and Units. Security Capital intends to apply for listing
of the Class B Shares and the Warrants on the NYSE, although there can be
no assurance that either, or both, the Class B Shares or the Warrants will
be so listed. The Warrants will expire one year after issuance and will
contain customary provisions to protect holders from dilution in certain
events, including certain distributions and certain sales of shares at
less than market price.
. As part of the Transaction, SCI and Security Capital will enter into the
Amended and Restated Investor Agreement (as defined below). The Amended
and Restated Investor Agreement will require SCI's management to consult
with the nominee of Security Capital prior to presenting certain
significant matters to the Board of Trustees for approval, including
SCI's annual budget and substantial deviations therefrom. Additionally,
the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement will entitle Security Capital
to approve certain significant matters proposed by SCI, including the
issuance of Common Shares and the incurrence of indebtedness in excess of
certain ratios. See "The Transaction--Investor Agreement."
Concurrently with signing the Merger Agreement with SCI, Security Capital
also signed substantially similar agreements with each of Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") and Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"),
each of which is an affiliate of Security Capital and SCI. Consummation of the
Transaction is not dependent upon the closing of the ATLANTIC and PTR
transactions.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND DETRIMENTS OF THE TRANSACTION
Potential Benefits
The Board of Trustees believes that the Transaction will result in an
enhancement to shareholder value. Currently, SCI pays a fee to the REIT Manager
based on a fixed percentage of SCI cash flow (as defined) which increases
proportionately as SCI adds assets. The Board of Trustees believes that SCI has
reached a sufficient size to realize economies of scale by internalizing the
management function since SCI will have sufficient depth of management and
personnel such that additional assets can be acquired, developed and managed
without a significant increase in personnel or other costs. These economies of
scale should result in an increase in the level of growth in funds from
operations and over time, the multiple at which Common Shares trade. The Board
of Trustees believes that the Transaction will further benefit SCI's long-term
performance as follows:
. The Transaction will position SCI to pursue possible acquisitions of
other REITs in a more effective way.
. Investors and analysts will view an internally managed structure more
favorably since SCI's costs, after capitalization of qualifying
acquisition, development and leasing costs in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), will be more comparable to other
industrial REITs. These acquisition, development and leasing activities
are currently provided by the REIT Manager and paid for as part of the
REIT management fee, which fee is expensed by SCI. Management believes
that the increased comparability, in addition to the opportunity for
increased funds from operations growth due to the economies of scale, as
discussed above, will result in a higher multiple on SCI's funds from
operations and an enhancement to shareholder value.
. As a consequence of the REIT Manager's and Property Manager's personnel
becoming full-time employees of SCI, they will be able to more closely
relate the results of their efforts to SCI's performance.
. The Transaction may result in improvement to SCI's debt ratings, which
could have a positive impact on SCI's future debt cost.
Potential Detriments
The following are certain potential detriments of the Transaction:
. Since the number of Common Shares issuable to Security Capital in the
Merger is fixed, the value of those shares at the time the Merger is
completed may be greater than the value placed on the operations of the
REIT Manager and Property Manager by the Board of Trustees.
5
<PAGE>
. The Warrant Issuance will be taxable to holders of Common Shares, Series
B Preferred Shares and Units.
. The increased administrative costs of internalizing the management
function may be greater than anticipated, resulting in a decrease in
accretion to SCI's funds from operations.
. Although the Transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to SCI's
funds from operations, the Transaction may not result in a corresponding
increase in the price at which Common Shares trade on the NYSE.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The Transaction was initiated and structured by individuals who are executive
officers of Security Capital. Although no independent representatives were
retained to negotiate the terms of the Transaction on behalf of SCI, the Board
of Trustees created the Special Committee, which retained independent financial
advisors and legal counsel. Two of the members of the Special Committee,
Messrs. Feinberg and Robson, own securities of Security Capital. Additionally,
certain officers and employees of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager
(including K. Dane Brooksher and Irving F. Lyons, Co-Chairmen of SCI) will
receive certain benefits if the Transaction is consummated. See "Risk Factors--
Conflicts of Interests in the Transaction" and "The Transaction--Interests of
Certain Persons in the Transaction."
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION
The Special Committee unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction as being fair to SCI and to the shareholders of SCI other than
Security Capital. The Special Committee recommended that the Board of Trustees
approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction. The Board of Trustees
unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the Transaction as being fair and
reasonable and on terms not less favorable to SCI than those available from
unaffiliated third parties. In reaching its conclusion, the Board of Trustees
placed particular emphasis on the recommendation of the Special Committee. The
Board of Trustees considered a number of other factors including the reasons
emphasized by the Special Committee. Finally, the Board of Trustees considered
the condition to the closing of the Merger that the Special Committee receive a
written opinion from an investment banking firm satisfactory to the Special
Committee that, as of the date of this Proxy Statement and Prospectus, the
aggregate consideration to be received by SCI and the holders of Common Shares
is fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than Security Capital and
that such opinion must not have been withdrawn, revoked or modified. The Board
of Trustees did not quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative weights to
the specific factors considered in making its determination although, as noted
above, it did place special emphasis on the recommendation of the Special
Committee. For a more detailed discussion of SCI's reasons for the Transaction
and the factors considered by the Board of Trustees in making its
recommendation, see "The Transaction--Recommendations of the Board of Trustees
and Reasons for the Transaction."
BENEFITS TO INSIDERS
If the Transaction is consummated, the current officers and employees of the
REIT Manager and the Property Manager (including K. Dane Brooksher and Irving
F. Lyons, Co-Chairmen of SCI, and Robert J. Watson and Jeffrey H. Schwartz,
Managing Directors of SCI, and John W. Seiple, Senior Vice President of SCI)
will become officers and employees of SCI. These persons will be compensated
for their services directly by SCI and will be eligible for a target bonus.
Subject to shareholder approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan, the officers of SCI
will be granted options to purchase Common Shares and officers and certain
employees of SCI will be granted the right to purchase Common Shares. SCI will
loan such officers and certain employees up to 95% of the purchase price for
any Common Shares so purchased. Additionally, such officers will be granted
options to acquire Class A Shares of Security Capital in December 1997. The
officers and employees of SCI will also be entitled to make contributions to a
401(k) plan, for which SCI will match 50% of eligible contributions. See "The
Transaction--Interests of Certain Persons in the Transaction" and "Long-Term
Incentive Plan."

FAIRNESS OPINION
The Special Committee retained Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") to
assist the Special Committee in evaluating the fairness of the aggregate
consideration to be paid and received by SCI and the holders of Common Shares
other than Security Capital, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Agreement
and Plan of Merger and the Warrant Agreement (collectively, the "Agreements").
On March 24, 1997, Goldman Sachs delivered its oral opinion to the Special
Committee to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the aggregate
consideration to be received by SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than
Security Capital pursuant to the Agreements in the acquisition of the REIT
Manager and the Property Manager was fair to SCI and the holders of Common
Shares other than Security Capital. Goldman Sachs subsequently confirmed its
oral opinion by delivery of its written opinion dated the date hereof. The full
text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, which sets forth the assumptions
made, matters considered and limitations of the review undertaken in connection
with the opinion, is attached hereto as Annex III and is incorporated herein by
reference. HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES ARE URGED TO, AND SHOULD, READ THE OPINION
OF GOLDMAN SACHS IN ITS ENTIRETY. For additional information concerning the
assumptions made, matters considered and limits of the review by Goldman Sachs
in reaching its opinion and the fees received and to be received by it, see
"The Transaction--Fairness Opinion."
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain representations of
Security Capital and SCI, the Merger will be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Accordingly, SCI will
not recognize income, gain or loss on the Merger for federal tax purposes. In
addition, in the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain
representations of Security Capital and SCI, the Merger will not jeopardize
SCI's qualification as a REIT under the Code. The Merger will not result in a
taxable event to the holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and
Units. See "The Transaction--Federal Income Tax Consequences--The Merger."
Pursuant to the Warrant Issuance, a holder of Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares or Units receiving Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance
will have ordinary taxable income equal to the value of the Warrants on the
Warrant Issuance Date (as defined below). In the opinion of Mayer, Brown &
Platt, the receipt of the Warrants by tax-exempt holders will be treated as
"unrelated business taxable income." See "The Transaction--Federal Income Tax
Consequences--The Warrant Issuance."
CONDITIONS TO THE TRANSACTION
The obligations of SCI to consummate the Transaction are subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others, (i)
obtaining the requisite approval of SCI and Security Capital shareholders, (ii)
the absence of any injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction,
(iii) the receipt of all governmental consents, orders and approvals legally
required for consummation of the Transaction, (iv) the receipt of certain legal
opinions or Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings with respect to the tax
consequences of the Transaction, REIT qualification and certain other legal
matters, (v) the continuing accuracy of the representations and warranties of
each party and (vi) the performance of certain other specified obligations by
each party. See "The Transaction--The Merger Agreement--Conditions to the
Transaction."

<PAGE>
TERMINATION
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the date on which
the Merger is closed (the "Closing Date") (i) by mutual consent of SCI and
Security Capital; (ii) by either of SCI or Security Capital after December 31,
1997 if the Transaction has not been consummated on or before that date (so
long as the terminating party has not breached its obligations under the Merger
Agreement except for immaterial breaches); (iii) unilaterally by SCI or
Security Capital if (a) the other party fails to perform any covenant or
agreement in the Merger Agreement in any material respect and does not cure
such failure in all material respects within 15 business days after receipt of
a written notice of the alleged failure from the other party, (b) the other
party fails to fulfill or complete a condition to the obligations of that party
(which condition is not waived) by reason of a breach by that party of its
obligations in the Merger Agreement or (c) any condition to the obligations of
the other party is not satisfied (other than by reason of a breach by that
party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement), and it reasonably appears
that the condition cannot be satisfied prior to December 31, 1997; (iv)
unilaterally by Security Capital if SCI, through the Board of Trustees or the
Special Committee, withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation that SCI
shareholders approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction; and (v)
unilaterally by SCI if Security Capital, through its Board of Directors (the
"Security Capital Board"), withdraws, modifies or amends its recommendation
that Security Capital shareholders approve the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction. On April 17, 1997, the shareholders of Security Capital approved
the Merger Agreement.
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Merger Agreement may be
amended by the written agreement of SCI and Security Capital. However, the
Merger Agreement may not be amended in any material respect subsequent to
obtaining the approval of the shareholders of SCI or Security Capital. See "The
Transaction--The Merger Agreement--Amendment and Waiver."
DISSENTERS' APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under Maryland law, holders of Common Shares are not entitled to dissenters'
appraisal rights in connection with the Transaction. See "The Transaction--
Dissenters' Appraisal Rights."
SCI COMMON SHARE PRICE
The Common Shares are listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol "SCN."
On January 21, 1997 (the last trading day prior to the public announcement that
SCI was evaluating the Transaction), the last sales price of the Common Shares,
as reported on the NYSE Composite Tape, was $21.625 per share. On March 24,
1997 (the last trading day preceding the time the signing of the Merger
Agreement was announced), the last sales price of the Common Shares, as
reported on the NYSE Composite Tape, was $21.00 per share. See "Information
Concerning SCI--SCI Common Share Prices and Per Common Share Distributions."
Security Capital has filed a registration statement with the Commission
relating to an initial public offering of the Class B Shares. Although the
Warrants and the Class B Shares have been approved for listing on the NYSE,
subject to notice of issuance, no assurances can be given that such initial
public offering will be consummated or that an active market for the Warrants
or the Class B Shares will develop.

(1) Excludes the impact of a one-time adjustment of approximately $76 million
relating to the costs incurred in acquiring the REIT Manager and the
Property Manager, since the intent of providing this pro forma financial
information is to reflect the expected continuing impact of the Merger on
SCI. Upon consummation of the Merger, this expense will be recorded as an
operating expense on SCI's consolidated statement of operations, but SCI
will not deduct this expense for purposes of calculating funds from
operations, due to the non-recurring and non-cash nature of the expense.
(2) Series B Preferred Shares were not issued until February 1996.
(3) SCI's Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial
Interest, $0.01 par value per share (the "Series C Preferred Shares"), were
not issued until November 1996.
(4) Funds from operations represents net earnings computed in accordance with
GAAP before minority interest and before gains/losses on disposition of
depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization. SCI believes that
funds from operations is helpful to the reader in understanding the
performance of an equity REIT and will enhance the reader's comprehension
of SCI's results of operations and cash flows. Funds from operations should
not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other GAAP
measurement of performance as an indicator of SCI's operating performance
or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. On January 1, 1995 SCI adopted the
National Association of Real Estate Investments Trusts ("NAREIT") revised
definition of funds from operations. Under this more conservative
definition, loan cost amortization is not added back to net earnings in
determining funds from operations. For comparability, funds from operations
for the periods prior to January 1, 1995 give effect to the revised
definition. The funds from operations measure presented by SCI, while
consistent with the NAREIT definition, will not be comparable to similarly

RISK FACTORS
Holders of Common Shares should consider carefully the specific factors set
forth below as well as the other information contained in this Proxy Statement
and Prospectus in evaluating the Transaction. Additionally, holders of Common
Shares should consider the factors set forth in the Security Capital
Prospectus attached hereto under the caption "Risk Factors" with respect to an
investment in Security Capital securities.
RISKS IN VALUATION
Security Capital is merging its SCI REIT management and property management
operations with and into a newly created subsidiary of SCI in exchange for
Common Shares valued at $81,870,626. In determining the value of the SCI
REIT management and property management operations, Security Capital projected
net operating income from existing agreements with SCI through 1999 and
discounted this net operating income back to July 1, 1997. The value of the
REIT management and property management operations did not include any value
that may be attributed to the Warrants. See "The Transaction--Recommendations
of the Board of Trustees and Reasons for the Transaction." The present value
of the projected net operating income from REIT management and property
management operations does not, and is not intended to, reflect what Security
Capital could obtain in an actual sale of its REIT management and property
management operations. Different valuation methodologies may have resulted in
higher or lower values for the REIT management and property management
operations. Security Capital did not obtain a third party valuation of the
projected net operating income anticipated to be received by it under the
existing REIT management and property management agreements. Therefore, no
assurance can be given that the value of the Common Shares being issued to
Security Capital is not greater than the value of the operations being merged.
CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS IN THE TRANSACTION
The Transaction was initiated and structured by individuals who are
executive officers of Security Capital, the largest shareholder of SCI.
Although no independent representatives have been retained to negotiate the
terms of the Transaction on behalf of SCI, the Board of Trustees created the
Special Committee consisting of Messrs. Stephen L. Feinberg, Donald P. Jacobs
and John E. Robson. The Special Committee engaged King & Spalding as its legal
counsel and engaged Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor to advise it in
analyzing and evaluating, and to provide a written opinion with respect to,
the fairness of the aggregate consideration to be received by SCI and the
holders of Common Shares other than Security Capital pursuant to the
Agreements. No member of the Special Committee is an officer of SCI or a
director or officer of the REIT Manager or the Property Manager or an officer
or director of Security Capital. However, Messrs. Feinberg, Jacobs and Robson
beneficially own 153,346, 3,255 and 22,961 Common Shares, respectively, and
Messrs. Feinberg and Robson beneficially own 880 and 86, respectively, shares
of Security Capital's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Class
A Shares"). Additionally, Messrs. Feinberg and Robson beneficially own
$409,050 and $64,387 aggregate principal amount of Security Capital's
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2014 (the "2014 Convertible
Debentures"), respectively (which are convertible into an aggregate of 391 and
62 Class A Shares, respectively). Trustees of SCI, other than members of the
Special Committee, beneficially own in the aggregate 466,133 Common Shares,
4,783 Class A Shares, $2,622,329 aggregate principal amount of 2014
Convertible Debentures (convertible into an aggregate of 2,507 Class A Shares)
and $420,000 aggregate principal amount of Security Capital's Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due 2016 (the "2016 Convertible Debentures")
(convertible into an aggregate of 364 Class A Shares). Beginning on January 1,
1998, each Class A Share will be convertible into 50 Class B Shares.
Accordingly, the interests of such persons may differ from the interests of
shareholders as a result of their ownership of securities of Security Capital.
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
As of June 6, 1997, Security Capital beneficially owned approximately 44% of
the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As a result, Security Capital
currently controls approximately 44% of the vote on matters submitted for SCI
shareholder action, including the Transaction. Under the Declaration of Trust,
no other
12
<PAGE>
shareholder may hold more than 9.8% of the shares of SCI. Security Capital has
the contractual right (and after the Transaction will continue to have the
contractual right) to nominate up to three trustees to the seven-member Board
of Trustees, depending upon its level of ownership of Common Shares. The
trustees so elected are in a position to exercise control or significant
influence over the affairs of SCI if they act together. Upon consummation of
the Transaction, Security Capital's ownership could increase from
approximately 44% to approximately %, if no other shareholders or third
parties subscribe for Common Shares issuable in the Concurrent Rights
Offering, and would remain at approximately 44% if the full amount of Common
Shares are sold in the Concurrent Rights Offering. Additionally, after the
Transaction Security Capital will continue to have contractual rights of prior
approval and consultation regarding certain important matters. See "The
Transaction--Investor Agreement."
TAXABILITY OF WARRANT ISSUANCE
SCI has received a private letter ruling from the IRS stating that the
issuance of the Warrants by Security Capital to the holders of Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares and Units will be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a direct issuance of the Warrants by Security Capital to the
holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units, and not as a
distribution by SCI. Accordingly, a holder of Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares or Units receiving Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance
will have ordinary taxable income equal to the value of the Warrants on the
Warrant Issuance Date. In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, the receipt of
Warrants by tax-exempt holders will be treated as "unrelated business taxable
income." See "The Transaction--Federal Income Tax Consequences--The Warrant
Issuance."
IMPACT OF TRANSACTION ON SCI'S FINANCIAL POSITION
To date SCI has incurred a REIT management fee and property management fee
for services provided by Security Capital. After completion of the Merger, SCI
will no longer pay a REIT management or property management fee; instead, it
will directly incur the operating and related costs for the professionals
(currently 277 professionals) and property level and support personnel
(currently 135 persons) employed by the REIT Manager and the Property Manager.
SCI will directly incur all future increases in management costs that
currently are borne by the REIT Manager and the Property Manager. The Board of
Trustees believes that SCI has reached a sufficient size to realize economies
of scale by internalizing the management function since SCI will have
sufficient depth of management and personnel such that additional assets can
be acquired, developed and managed without a significant increase in personnel
or other costs. However, no assurance can be given that the cost to SCI of
providing such services internally will not exceed the fees payable to the
REIT Manager and the Property Manager under current agreements. However, as a
result of the Transaction, SCI will capitalize qualifying acquisition, leasing
and development costs.
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR WARRANTS AND CLASS B SHARES
The Class B Shares and the Warrants (including the Class B Shares issuable
upon exercise thereof) have been approved for listing, subject to notice of
issuance, on the NYSE, although no assurance can be given that an active
trading market will develop. In the event that the Security Capital initial
public offering of Class B Shares is not consummated, the Warrants (and the
Class B Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) will not be listed or traded on
any established market. As a result, shareholders may have difficulty
disposing of their Warrants or shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants.

THE TRANSACTION
(PROPOSAL 1)
GENERAL
The following is a summary of the material aspects of the Transaction. This
summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this Proxy Statement
and Prospectus as Annex I and is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
In March 1996, Security Capital's management began considering the
feasibility of a transaction whereby Security Capital would transfer to each
of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR all of its REIT management and property management
operations in exchange for equity in each of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR with the
result that each of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR would become an internally managed
REIT.
On September 17, 1996, at a regular meeting of the Security Capital Board,
Security Capital's management made a presentation to the Security Capital
Board regarding Security Capital's REIT and property management operations.
The Security Capital Board instructed management to recommend options which
would maximize shareholder values for shareholders of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR
and shareholders of Security Capital. Security Capital's management then began
to actively explore the means of achieving this goal. At the December 4, 1996
meeting of the Security Capital Board, Security Capital's management
recommended that Security Capital contribute its respective REIT and property
management operations to SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR in exchange for common shares
in each entity. At this meeting, the Security Capital Board authorized
management to proceed with each of the proposed transactions.
On January 13, 1997, at a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees, Security
Capital's management discussed with the Board of Trustees a proposal with
respect to the REIT Manager and the Property Manager. At the meeting, because
of Security Capital's significant ownership of Common Shares and its direct
interest in the proposed transaction, the Board of Trustees created the
Special Committee, consisting of Stephen L. Feinberg, Donald P. Jacobs and
John E. Robson, to consider the proposal and recommend action with respect to
the proposal to the Board of Trustees. The Special Committee retained Goldman
Sachs as its financial advisor and retained King & Spalding as its legal
counsel.
On January 22, 1997, at a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees, Security
Capital's management made a formal presentation to the Board of Trustees
describing the material terms and expected benefits to SCI of the proposed
transaction, the valuation methodology and underlying assumptions used to
determine the proposed purchase price, the legal procedures necessary to
consummate the proposed transaction, the anticipated tax impact of the
proposed transaction and the impact of the proposed transaction on SCI's
personnel and accounting policies. Representatives of King & Spalding and
Goldman Sachs attended this meeting. Among other matters discussed during the
presentation, members of the Special Committee expressed their concerns that
there should be a limit on the number of Common Shares that could be issued to
Security Capital in the transaction, and that there should be limits on
Security Capital's ability to hire SCI employees. After the presentation, the
Special Committee convened a meeting at which representatives of Goldman Sachs
and King & Spalding were present. The Special Committee discussed the terms of
its engagement of King & Spalding and the scope of the work King & Spalding
would do and the advice they would render. King & Spalding discussed with the
Special Committee its legal duties as a committee of independent trustees. The
Special Committee discussed with Goldman Sachs the terms of their engagement,
the scope of the opinion Goldman Sachs would be asked to render, the nature of
the analysis they would perform and the timing of their work.
After the January 22, 1997 meeting, Security Capital provided the Special
Committee with detailed financial forecasts, a funds from operations accretion
analysis and a summary description of proposed compensation arrangements for
senior officers.
14
<PAGE>
On January 21 and 22, 1997, Security Capital made similar proposals to the
board of trustees of PTR and the board of directors of ATLANTIC, respectively.
On the afternoon of January 22, 1997, SCI issued the following statement:
"[SCI] . . . today announced that it has received a proposal from Security
Capital Group to exchange Security Capital Group's REIT management and
property management companies for SCI common shares. As a result of the
transaction, SCI would become an internally managed REIT, and Security
Capital Group would remain SCI's largest shareholder.
SCI's Board of Trustees has formed a special committee comprised of
independent trustees to review the proposed transaction. The transaction is
subject to approval by the special committee and the full Board of
Trustees. If the board approves the transaction, a proxy statement, subject
to review by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed to SCI
shareholders prior to a shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.
After the Board of Trustees has voted on this matter, SCI's management
will be available to discuss the transaction."
During the period between January 22, 1997 and February 12, 1997, the
Special Committee finalized the engagement agreements with Goldman Sachs and
King & Spalding and reviewed the materials supplied by Security Capital at the
January 22 meeting.
On February 12, 1997, the Special Committee met by conference telephone
call. Representatives of Goldman Sachs and King & Spalding participated.
Messrs. Brooksher and Wattles, trustees and officers of SCI but not members of
the Special Committee, were present for part of the meeting. The Special
Committee discussed with Goldman Sachs the methodologies they would use in
reviewing the proposed Transaction, including their approach to analyzing
projected expenses, the valuation of the Warrants, and the selection of
comparable transactions. King & Spalding reported to the Special Committee
that Security Capital had revised the structure of the proposed transaction,
so that SCI's REIT Manager and Property Manager would be merged into a
subsidiary of SCI, rather than into SCI; and that Security Capital was
considering revising its proposal to include limits on the number of Common
Shares to be issued in the Transaction, changes in the terms on which
administrative services would be provided by Security Capital to SCI after the
proposed transaction, and amendments to the Investor Agreement (as defined
below) between Security Capital and SCI. The Special Committee discussed
whether it could be feasible for SCI to develop internally REIT management and
property management resources equivalent to those provided by SCI's external
REIT and property managers. The Special Committee discussed the importance of
retaining the key personnel who would become SCI employees as part of the
proposed Transaction. The Special Committee discussed the importance of
amending the Investor Agreement between Security Capital and SCI to reduce
Security Capital's control over SCI.
The Special Committee considered possible alternative transactions to the
proposal by Security Capital. The Special Committee reviewed alternatives for
retaining external management and alternatives for internalizing management.
The alternatives which the Special Committee discussed in which SCI would
retain external management were: rejecting Security Capital's proposal and
maintaining the status quo; retaining Security Capital as the external manager
but renegotiating the fees payable under existing contracts; or continuing
external management but entering into new contracts with one or more new,
unaffiliated management companies. The Special Committee concluded that
contracting with a new, unaffiliated manager or managers would not be
beneficial to SCI. While that alternative would eliminate conflicts of
interest between SCI and Security Capital, it would potentially create new
conflicts of interest between SCI and the new manager or managers.
Furthermore, in the Special Committee's judgment, the REIT Manager and
Property Manager are uniquely valuable to SCI, owing to their expertise,
innovation, breadth of skill and experience in managing SCI's business and
properties. The Special Committee also recognized that Security Capital would
retain various contractual rights of prior approval over key aspects of SCI's
business, such as its annual budget, even if SCI terminated its management
contracts with the REIT Manager and Property Manager, and that those
continuing rights made it unlikely that SCI could attract an unaffiliated
external manager as qualified as the REIT Manager and Property Manager.
15
<PAGE>
The Special Committee also discussed the perceived negative aspects of
external management and the potential benefits of internalized management.
Potential benefits discussed included improving SCI's long-term funds from
operations, removing impediments to SCI's participation in acquisitions in the
REIT industry, improving the funds from operations multiple reflected in SCI's
stock market price by improving SCI's attractiveness to institutional and
other investors who disfavor externally managed REITs and improving SCI's
rating agencies' outlook. The Special Committee decided that retaining
Security Capital as the external manager but merely renegotiating the fees
payable under existing contracts would maintain the perceived negative aspects
of external management, including conflicts of interest, and would outweigh
the potential benefits derived from cash savings which could result from the
payment of lower management fees. After considering whether there were
significant potential detriments to internalizing management, the Special
Committee concluded that internalizing management was preferable to
maintaining an externally managed structure.
The Special Committee also considered three alternatives for SCI to
internalize its management: (i) the acquisition of one or more external
management companies other than the REIT Manager and Property Manager; (ii)
the development internally of SCI's management, employees and operating
systems through selective hiring of personnel and asset acquisitions; and
(iii) the adoption of the proposed transaction assuming the Special Committee
and the full Board of Trustees determined that the terms and conditions of the
proposed transaction as finally negotiated were fair and reasonable to SCI and
its public shareholders. The Special Committee concluded that acquiring an
external management company or companies other than the REIT Manager and
Property Manager would be impractical for generally the same reasons that
contracting with a new, unaffiliated external manager would be impractical.
The Special Committee also concluded that it would be unlikely that selective
hiring and asset acquisitions could duplicate the quality of management that
SCI benefitted from under Security Capital's management and expected to hire
through the Transaction or ensure a prudent continuity of management and
business operations.
On February 25, 1997, the Special Committee and its counsel and financial
advisors received from SCI initial drafts of the proposed form of Merger
Agreement for the Transaction, and on March 3, 1997, the Special Committee and
its counsel received from SCI initial drafts of the proposed forms of
Administrative Services Agreement (as defined below) and amended Investor
Agreement.
On March 5, 1997, the Chairman of the Special Committee, the chairs of the
special committees of ATLANTIC and PTR and members of Security Capital's
management participated in a telephonic meeting at which Security Capital
agreed with the chairs of each of the special committees that all negotiations
among the parties would be conducted openly and full access to all information
supplied by Security Capital to the members of any special committee would be
supplied by Security Capital to each of the other special committees.
Additionally, Security Capital agreed that each of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR would
receive the benefit of any favorable terms negotiated by any of the special
committees.
Between March 5, 1997 and March 17, 1997, the Chairman of the Special
Committee and the chairs of the ATLANTIC and PTR special committees engaged in
further discussions and negotiations with one of Security Capital's Managing
Directors and other representatives of Security Capital. Also during this
period, King & Spalding negotiated various terms and provisions of the Merger
Agreement and related agreements with Mayer, Brown & Platt, regular counsel
for SCI and counsel for Security Capital in the Transaction. In the course of
such negotiations, King & Spalding consulted on various occasions with legal
counsel for the special committees of ATLANTIC and PTR.
On March 12, 1997, the Chairman of the Special Committee, the chair of PTR's
special committee and members of Security Capital's management held a
telephone conference call to discuss the results of negotiations between
Security Capital and the special committee of ATLANTIC. As a result of this
meeting, the parties agreed to the following changes to the terms of the
proposed transaction: (i) to provide a cap on the number of shares that could
be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) to
restrict Security Capital's ability to dispose of its shares in each of SCI,
ATLANTIC and PTR for a period of at least six months following the Merger;
(iii) to lower the proposed threshold on the amount of a claim that could be
asserted against Security Capital pursuant to the indemnification of each of
SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively,
16
<PAGE>
under the Merger Agreements; (iv) to include in the Merger Agreement certain
representations and warranties by Security Capital; (v) to clarify in the
Administrative Services Agreements that each of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR has
ultimate authority to manage its business and that Security Capital will
provide services pursuant to the agreement at the request of each of SCI,
ATLANTIC, and PTR, respectively; and (vi) to provide a cap on the fees payable
under the Administrative Services Agreements. Security Capital also agreed to
provide the special committees of each of SCI, ATLANTIC and PTR with a report
prepared by its respective independent public accountants on the procedures
applied in connection with verifying the mathematical accuracy of the
financial analysis of the impact of the proposed transaction. Security Capital
declined the request of each of SCI and ATLANTIC with respect to conditioning
approval of the transaction on the favorable vote of a majority of those
shareholders of each of SCI and ATLANTIC, respectively, other than Security
Capital voting at the special meeting. Security Capital declined this request
because it is under no legal obligation to not vote its Common Shares. The
Special Committee elected to proceed with the proposed transaction because it
believed that the proposed transaction was beneficial to SCI and its
shareholders despite the fact that Security Capital would vote on the proposed
transaction.
During the period between February 12 and March 13, 1997, there were
numerous discussions among members of the Special Committee and discussions
between members of the Special Committee and members of Security Capital
management.
On March 13, 1997, the Special Committee met, with representatives of
Goldman Sachs and King & Spalding present. The Special Committee discussed the
fact that Goldman Sachs was under consideration to be a co-manager of Security
Capital's contemplated public offering of its Class B Shares, and concluded,
based on all the circumstances, including Goldman Sachs' expertise in the REIT
industry and familiarity with SCI's business, that it was appropriate and
desirable to have Goldman Sachs as the Special Committee's financial advisor.
Goldman Sachs made an extensive presentation of its analysis of the proposed
transaction, including the analysis described under "--Fairness Opinion." At
this meeting, the Special Committee discussed with counsel the terms of the
proposed Merger Agreement, amended Investor Agreement and Administrative
Services Agreement. Among other things, the Special Committee noted that the
proposed amended Investor Agreement reduced the actions and transactions for
which Security Capital's approval would be required.
The Special Committee determined to seek certain changes to the terms of the
proposed transaction and related documentation. The meeting adjourned
periodically during the course of the day on March 13, 1997, and during the
adjournments there were discussions between members of the Special Committee
and members of Security Capital management, and discussions between counsel
for the Special Committee and counsel for Security Capital regarding requested
changes to the terms of the proposed agreement and the various related
agreements.
The changes that the Special Committee requested in the Merger Agreement
included (i) a reduction in the purchase price, (ii) a narrowing of the
"collar" from the $3.00 proposed by Security Capital above and below the
closing price on a mutually acceptable date and (iii) a requirement that the
proposed transaction be approved by a percentage of SCI's shareholders
unaffiliated with Security Capital that is not less than the percentage of
unaffiliated shareholders required to approve the corresponding PTR
transaction.
With respect to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Special Committee
requested (i) that SCI have the right to select which services to obtain from
those offered by Security Capital, (ii) assurances that the administrative
services fees would not exceed those used in the forecasts on which the
Transaction was based and (iii) the right of the independent trustees to make
the decision whether to renew the agreement in their sole discretion.
With respect to the Investor Agreement, the Special Committee requested (i)
a reduction in the representations required to be made by SCI, (ii) removal of
Security Capital's proposed right to transfer SCI employees among Security
Capital, ATLANTIC, PTR and other affiliates of Security Capital, (iii) an
agreement from Security Capital not to compete with SCI in the industrial REIT
management business for a period of time and (iv) a further reduction in the
matters over which Security Capital would have approval rights.
17
<PAGE>
The Special Committee instructed the Chairman to pursue discussions of these
issues with management of Security Capital and resolved to reconvene the
following evening.
On March 14, 1997, the Special Committee met by conference telephone call to
review the results of these further negotiations. Representatives of King &
Spalding were present. The Chairman summarized changes to the terms of the
Transaction and the related documentation that had been agreed to by
management of Security Capital, including the following:
Merger Agreement. A reduction in the proposed purchase price of $3.4
million, from $85,270,626 to $81,870,626; the establishment of limits on
the price per Common Share that would be used to determine the number of
shares issued to Security Capital in the Transaction, so that such price
would be no more than $24.75 ($2.50 in excess of the closing price on March
14, 1997) or less than $19.75 ($2.50 less than the closing price on March
14, 1997); an agreement that the Merger Agreement would contain
representations with respect to the forecasts supplied to the Special
Committee and its financial advisors; and a covenant from Security Capital
that, for a period of three years following the closing of the Transaction,
neither Security Capital nor any REIT management or property management
company affiliated with it would, directly or indirectly, provide
substantially the same advice and services as those currently provided by
SCI's REIT and property managers.
Administrative Services Agreement. Fees under the Administrative Services
Agreement would not exceed, prior to December 31, 1998, the amounts used in
the financial forecasts provided to the Special Committee; prior to
December 31, 1998, SCI will be obligated to acquire only those services it
selects from those offered by Security Capital; the decision whether to
renew the Administrative Services Agreement would be made in the sole
discretion of the independent trustees; and only the cost plus 20% of
services actually used would be charged to SCI.
Investor Agreement. Security Capital would have no power to cause any
employee of SCI to become an employee of Security Capital or of any
affiliate of Security Capital, and Security Capital will give the Board of
Trustees no less than two weeks' written notice prior to conducting any
discussions with any senior officer of SCI regarding the possibility of any
such change in employment; and, in addition to the substantial reduction in
the matters over which Security Capital would have control as provided in
the proposed amended Investor Agreement, Security Capital would have no
right to approve mergers or other business combinations in which SCI is
involved.
The Special Committee discussed these proposed changes extensively. They
noted that Security Capital had repeatedly declined to increase the required
vote of the holders of Common Shares beyond the majority otherwise required.
After further discussion, the Special Committee unanimously resolved to
recommend approval of the proposed Transaction to the Board of Trustees,
subject to approval of final documentation.
On March 17, 1997, the Board of Trustees held a telephonic board meeting
with all trustees in attendance. Also in attendance at the meeting were
representatives of Goldman Sachs, King & Spalding, and senior officers of
Security Capital. Mr. Feinberg, Chairman of the Special Committee, reported on
the Special Committee's recent deliberations and the changes in the terms of
the proposed Transaction negotiated with representatives of Security Capital,
as described above. Mr. Blankenship of Security Capital confirmed Mr.
Feinberg's summary of the changes that had been negotiated. Representatives of
Goldman Sachs reported that, based on their then current understanding of the
terms of the proposed transaction, and subject to review and approval of final
documentation, they expected to be able to render an opinion to the effect
that the aggregate consideration to be paid and received in the Transaction
was fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than Security Capital.
The Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Board of Trustees
approve the Transaction subject to review and approval of final documentation.
During the period from March 17, 1997 to March 24, 1997, King & Spalding,
Goldman Sachs, and members of the Special Committee reviewed revised drafts of
the documents related to the Transaction. During this period there were
extensive discussions among counsel to the Special Committee, counsel to
Security Capital, and
18
<PAGE>
counsel to ATLANTIC and PTR to conform the documents for all of the
transactions and to conform the documents to the agreements that had been
negotiated between the Special Committee and representatives of Security
Capital. In addition, the License Agreement (as defined herein), which was
first presented to SCI on March 17, 1997, was negotiated.
On March 24, 1997, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting with all
members of the Special Committee in attendance. Also in attendance at the
meeting were representatives of Goldman Sachs and King & Spalding. At this
meeting Goldman Sachs delivered its oral opinion to the Special Committee as
described under "--Fairness Opinion." King & Spalding reported orally to the
Special Committee that, based on its review of the procedures followed by the
Special Committee and its deliberations regarding the Transaction, nothing had
come to the attention of King & Spalding that had caused it to believe that
the Special Committee had failed to meet its duties to the shareholders of SCI
other than Security Capital. The Special Committee again discussed the
proposed Transaction and the changes and improvements in the proposed terms
that had been negotiated with Security Capital. Following such discussion, the
Special Committee unanimously resolved to recommend approval of the
Transaction to the Board of Trustees, and the Chairman was authorized to
convey that recommendation to the Board of Trustees. Following the meeting of
the Special Committee, at a special telephonic meeting of the Board of
Trustees on March 24, 1997, following a review of the information considered
by Security Capital and a review of the terms of the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction, as well as consideration of the recommendation of the Special
Committee, the Board of Trustees approved the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction.
On June 24, 1997, following the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees, the
Special Committee met to consider a proposed amendment to the Merger
Agreement, which would permit SCI to issue Common Shares in the Concurrent
Rights Offering at a price determined by the Board of Trustees, but not less
than 94% of the five-day trailing average closing price of the Common Shares
on the day prior to the SCI Record Date. The proposed amendment would also
allow SCI to sell the Common Shares not purchased by shareholders in the
Concurrent Rights Offering to third parties. The Special Committee believed
that the proposed amendment to the Merger Agreement would allow SCI to raise
additional equity capital at a relatively low cost, while allowing
shareholders to make additional investments in SCI at a price lower than the
price at which Security Capital is acquiring Common Shares in the Merger. The
Special Committee recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the amendment
to the Merger Agreement. Following the meeting of the Special Committee, the
members of the Board of Trustees who were present reconvened the meeting and
unanimously approved the amendment to the Merger Agreement.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION
Security Capital Recommendations and Reasons
Based on the reasons described below, Security Capital believes that it
would be in the best interests of SCI and its shareholders to internalize its
REIT and property management operations within SCI. Because of the interests
of SCI and Security Capital in the Transaction, Security Capital's
management's goal was to structure the transaction in a manner that would
maximize shareholder values for each party.
The following reasons were emphasized by Security Capital in recommending to
the Board of Trustees that it approve the Transaction:
. IMPACT ON FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS. Security Capital believes that the
Transaction will be accretive to SCI's funds from operations. Currently,
SCI pays a fee to the REIT Manager based on a fixed percentage of SCI's
cash flow (as defined) which increases proportionately as SCI adds
assets. Security Capital believes that SCI has reached a sufficient size
to realize economies of scale by internalizing the management function
since SCI will have sufficient depth of management and personnel such
that additional assets can be acquired, developed and managed without a
significant increase in personnel or other costs. These economies of
scale should result in an increase in the level of growth in funds from
operations.

. ACQUISITION POSSIBILITIES. Security Capital believes that the REIT
industry is undergoing a period of significant consolidation. Security
Capital believes that an internally managed REIT will have much greater
flexibility to participate in this industry consolidation than does an
externally managed REIT because of the perceived conflicts of interest
with external management.
. PUBLIC MARKET VALUATION. Security Capital examined the public market
valuation and funds from operations multiples of comparable public
industrial REITs that were internally managed. Security Capital believes
that investors and analysts will view an internally managed structure
more favorably since SCI's costs, after capitalization of qualifying
acquisition, development and leasing costs in accordance with GAAP, will
be more comparable to other industrial REITs. These acquisition,
development and leasing activities are currently provided by the REIT
Manager and paid for as part of the REIT management fee, which fee is
expensed by SCI. Management believes that the increased comparability, in
addition to the opportunity for increased funds from operations growth
due to the economies of scale as discussed above, will result in a higher
multiple on SCI's funds from operations and an enhancement to shareholder
value.
. RATING AGENCY ISSUES. SCI currently has investment grade ratings for its
public debt. It is Security Capital's belief that the external management
structure of SCI has caused concern for the rating agencies because of
perceived conflicts of interest. Because long-term debt is an important
component of SCI's capital structure, Security Capital believes it would
be prudent to eliminate rating agencies' issues regarding any perceived
conflicts of interest.
The following are certain potential detriments of the Transaction:
. Since the number of Common Shares issuable to Security Capital in the
Merger is fixed, the value of those shares at the time the Merger is
completed may be greater than the value placed on the operations of the
REIT Manager and Property Manager by the Board of Trustees.
. The Warrant Issuance will be taxable to holders of Common Shares, Series
B Preferred Shares and Units.
. The increased administrative costs of internalizing the management
function may be greater than anticipated, resulting in a decrease in the
accretion to SCI's funds from operations.
. Although the Transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to SCI's
funds from operations, the Transaction may not result in a corresponding
increase in the price at which Common Shares trade on the NYSE.
Based primarily on these reasons, and after consideration of the potential
detriments, Security Capital recommended the Transaction to the Board of
Trustees.
For purposes of determining the value of the REIT management and property
management operations being acquired by SCI, Security Capital calculated, for
the six months ending December 31, 1997 and each of the years ending December
31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, the projected REIT management fees and
property management fees, net of operating costs, which Security Capital would
have received under existing agreements with SCI for all of SCI's existing
properties, remaining acquisitions budgeted in 1997, as well as those
development properties included in SCI's 1997 operating budget which were
scheduled to begin construction prior to December 31, 1997. Security Capital
chose this group of assets because it wanted to base the valuation of the REIT
Manager and the Property Manager only on assets that were currently owned or
had been identified to be acquired or developed within the next twelve months.
Security Capital then multiplied the 1999 net operating income derived from
such fees by a multiple of 9.0x, and discounted this value along with the net
operating income derived from such fees between July 1, 1997 and December 31,
1998 back to July 1, 1997 using an annual discount rate of 17.5%. The
valuation multiple of 9.0x was applied to 1999 net operating income because
that is the first year in which all budgeted properties under development or
to be acquired are expected to be stabilized. The 9.0x multiple for the 1999
net operating income for Security Capital was based on publicly available
information on selected public and private companies that could be viewed as
comparable to the REIT Manager and Property Manager, including:
20
<PAGE>
(i) A publicly available report prepared by an independent third party
(The Future of Money Management in America, Bernstein Research, 1995
Edition) of private and public companies in the financial services sector.
Earnings multiples on comparable transactions completed since 1992 ranged
between 6.0x and 14.1x.
(ii) Comparison with ten transactions in which REITs valued their
external management operations in the process of becoming internally
managed. Security Capital used publicly available information to determine
the acquisition price which, expressed as a multiple of net income for the
four REITs that disclosed this information, ranged between 7.8x and 10.2x.
The four comparison REITs were Realty Income Corporation, Shurgard Storage
Centers, Franchise Finance Corp., and Storage Equities Incorporated.
(iii) Comparison with 16 publicly traded management companies, including
property management companies and selected companies from various
investment management industries, for which an estimated net operating
income multiple could be calculated. Security Capital computed that the
current public market price for these companies expressed as a multiple of
consensus earnings estimates ranged between 5.2x and 15.1x. Public
management companies considered by Security Capital were: Insignia
Financial Group Incorporated, National Housing Property Incorporated, CB
Commercial Real Estate, United Asset Management Corp., Alliance Capital
Management, New England Investment Company, Ameresco, Inc.,
Atalanta/Sosnoff Capital, Cardinal Realty Services Incorporated, Central
Parking Corporation, Eaton Vance Corp., Franklin Resources, Oppenheimer
Capital LP, Square Industries, Inc., The John Nuveen Co. and T. Rowe Price
Associates.
The 17.5% discount rate applied to Security Capital's 30-month net operating
income ending December 31, 1999 is a reflection of Security Capital's
estimation of the compounded annual total rate of return for these businesses.
Security Capital's announced strategy is to deploy capital with a goal of
achieving a 15% to 20% compounded annual total rate of return.
Security Capital estimates that the negotiated purchase price of $81,870,626
that will be paid for the REIT Manager and Property Manager under the terms of
the Transaction reflects a multiple of 6.5 times the net change in SCI's pro
forma 1997 funds from operations assuming that the Transaction occurred as of
January 1, 1997 and assuming the stabilization of pre-stabilized operating
assets that are in the process of being repositioned and the stabilization of
assets that are under development. By making this adjustment, the multiple
calculation takes into account not only the costs that SCI would incur in
developing or transitioning these assets but also the fee that would otherwise
have been paid to the REIT Manager as those properties generated additional
stabilized cash flow.
No separate consideration was attributed to the operating systems
contributed by Security Capital.
Board of Trustees Recommendations and Reasons
On March 17, 1997, at a special telephonic meeting of the Special Committee,
Mr. Feinberg, Chairman of the Special Committee, reported on the Special
Committee's recent deliberations and the changes in the terms of the proposed
transaction negotiated with representatives of Security Capital, as described
above. Mr. Blankenship of Security Capital confirmed Mr. Feinberg's summary of
the changes that had been negotiated. Representatives of Goldman Sachs
reported that, based on their then current understanding of the terms of the
proposed transaction, and subject to review and approval of final
documentation, they expected to be able to render an opinion to the effect
that the aggregate consideration to be paid and received in the Transaction
was fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than Security Capital.
The Special Committee unanimously recommended that the Board of Trustees
approve the Transaction subject to review and approval of final documentation.
At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees on March 24, 1997, following a
review of the information considered by Security Capital and a review of the
terms of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, as well as consideration of
the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board of Trustees approved
the Merger Agreement and the Transaction. As noted below, the Board of
Trustees considered the determination by the Special Committee that the Merger
Agreement and the Transaction are fair to SCI and to
21
<PAGE>
the shareholders of SCI other than Security Capital and their recommendation
that the Board of Trustees approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction.
In making its determination with respect to the Transaction, the Board of
Trustees considered the following factors which were material to its decision:
(i) Security Capital's stated objective of maximizing shareholder value
for the shareholders of SCI (and in turn, its own investment in SCI). The
Board of Trustees viewed this as positive in that any increase in the value
of Security Capital's interest would also accrue to the benefit of
unaffiliated shareholders of SCI.
(ii) The immediate accretion to SCI's funds from operations because of
the internalization of management and the resulting ability to capitalize
qualifying acquisition, leasing and development costs in accordance with
GAAP and SCI's ability to continue to make cash distributions to
shareholders at the current level. Based on SCI's 1998 forecast, management
believes that the Transaction will be accretive to SCI's funds from
operations by $11.0 million, or $0.05 per share. Because the Board of
Trustees believes that, among other factors, the stock of REITs trades in
the public markets based upon a multiple of the REITs' funds from
operations, the Board of Trustees believes that an increase in funds from
operations will result in a corresponding increase in the price at which
Common Shares trade in the market. The Board of Trustees viewed the
forecasted increase in funds from operations as favorable.
(iii) The valuation methodology used to determine the purchase price of
the REIT management and property management companies, which methodology
took into account the following:
. Budgeted development activities including development budgets,
construction schedules, anticipated lease-up schedules and budgeted
operating results.
. Budgeted acquisition activities and acquisition opportunities,
including acquisition timetables, anticipated initial yields and
improvement reserves.
. Budgeted dispositions.
. The 1997 budget and 1998 and 1999 forecasts of operating results,
including rental and operating expense assumptions for SCI's
operating portfolio, including the risks in achieving the anticipated
results.
. The REIT Manager's and Property Manager's 1997 budgets and 1998 and
1999 forecasts, including the risks in achieving the anticipated
results.
. The reasonableness of the multiple used to value the REIT management
and property management businesses, based in part on the review of
ten similar transactions.
. The discount rate used in the valuation.
. The accounting methodology used in arriving at the budgets and
forecasts, including the impact of the Transaction on both the
accrual and cash basis accounting methods.
Overall, the Board of Trustees, based upon consultations with its
financial advisor and management, believes that the valuation methodology
used in determining the value of the REIT Manager and Property Manager was
reasonable.
(iv) The contributions of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager
related to acquisitions, development, dispositions, asset management,
property management and financial planning, and whether other unaffiliated
entities could provide similar breadth of services and the probable cost of
obtaining some or all such services from third parties if the REIT Manager
were terminated. The Board of Trustees considered that since inception of
SCI in 1991 and through February 28, 1997, SCI, with the assistance of the
REIT Manager, had acquired 64.8 million square feet of distribution space
representing a total investment of approximately $1.8 billion and had
developed or commenced development of 25.5 million square feet of
distribution space at a budgeted development cost of $890 million. The
Board of Trustees considered that acquiring a third party to provide the
same level and scope of services for the same cost was unlikely and viewed
this factor as favorable to its determination.
22
<PAGE>
(v) The franchise value of the REIT Manager and Property Manager and the
operating system and the value to SCI of retaining the entire group of REIT
Manager and Property Manager employees as an entity.
(vi) The yield that SCI could expect to earn on its investment was
forecasted to be 12.3% for 1998. The yield was calculated by dividing the
net funds from operations effect of the Transaction as reflected in the
elimination of fees and internalization of management and giving effect to
the ability to capitalize qualifying acquisition, leasing and development
activities by the purchase price paid. The Board of Trustees viewed this
factor as favorable.
(vii) Other methods of valuing the REIT management and property
management businesses, including the following:
. The net impact on SCI's 1997 and 1998 funds from operations expressed
as a multiple of the purchase price.
. A five-year discounted cash flow analysis and the return on
investment that is produced by the Transaction.
. The cost and practicality of engaging third party firms to conduct
the activities currently conducted by the REIT Manager and the
Property Manager. In considering this issue, the Board of Trustees
took into account SCI's prior experience with third party developers
and property managers. The Board of Trustees considered the fact that
it would be extremely difficult to identify qualified firms that had
an appropriate geographic market capability, experience level and
financial capability to meet SCI's requirements for acquisition,
development, disposition and property management activities. The
Board of Trustees considered the impact of engaging multiple firms.
. The cost and practicality of building its own staff to conduct the
REIT Manager's and Property Manager's activities.
(viii) Different ways of determining the value of the Warrants and their
impact on the Transaction. The Board of Trustees considered the impact of
the Transaction on SCI shareholders including and excluding the Warrants.
The Board of Trustees viewed the Warrants as favorable to SCI shareholders,
despite the taxability of the Warrant issuance discussed below.
(ix) The tax, accounting and legal issues relating to, and disclosure
requirements for, the Transaction. The Board of Trustees viewed this factor
as favorable.
(x) The results produced by the REIT management and property management
companies including a review of the current staffing levels. The Board of
Trustees considered the impact on prospective performance levels of the
individuals of internalizing the REIT management and property management
companies. The Board of Trustees viewed this factor as favorable.
(xi) The current compensation levels of REIT and property management
personnel, compensation trends and projected compensation trends following
the Transaction. Overall administrative costs, including compensation, are
expected to be less than the fees currently paid to the REIT Manager and
Property Manager. The Board of Trustees viewed this as a favorable factor.
(xii) The financial impact on SCI of the 1997 Incentive Plan, including
ranges of options and stock purchase arrangements prepared by SCI's
Compensation Committee, and SCI's proposed 401(k) plan. The 1997 Incentive
Plan will result in dilution and will therefore decrease the accretion in
SCI's forecasted funds from operations per share. Despite this dilution,
the Board of Trustees believes that the 1997 Incentive Plan aligns the
interests of management and shareholders and, therefore, as a whole, viewed
the 1997 Incentive Plan as a positive factor in its decision.
(xiii) The range of services currently provided by the REIT Manager and
the Property Manager and the costs of such services and the services which
will be provided by Security Capital in the future under the Administrative
Services Agreement and the cost of these services. The Board of Trustees
viewed this factor as favorable.
23
<PAGE>
(xiv) The current Investor Agreement (as defined below) between Security
Capital and SCI and the amended Investor Agreement and the likely impact
such agreement will have on SCI's future operations. The Amended and
Restated Investor Agreement will continue to provide SCI with access to
strategic guidance from Security Capital. The Board of Trustees viewed this
factor as positive in its deliberations with respect to the Transaction.
(xv) The existing relationships with Security Capital and the continuing
relationships with Security Capital after the Transaction and the benefits
to SCI of those continuing relationships. The Board of Trustees viewed this
factor as favorable.
(xvi) The nature of the Transaction in light of SCI's policies against
principal transactions and the existing provisions of the Declaration of
Trust. The Board of Trustees considered that the approval by SCI
shareholders was required and that the proposed amendment to the
Declaration of Trust is limited to the Transaction only. The Board of
Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors and concluded that the
Transaction was in the best interests of all SCI shareholders.
(xvii) The condition to the closing of the Merger that the Special
Committee receive a written opinion from an investment banking firm
satisfactory to the Special Committee that, as of the date of this Proxy
Statement and Prospectus, the aggregate consideration to be received by SCI
and the holders of Common Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Plan
of Merger and the Warrant Agreement (each as defined in the Merger
Agreement) was fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than
Security Capital. The Board of Trustees viewed this condition as positive.
(xviii) As noted above, the Board of Trustees placed special emphasis on
the recommendation of the Special Committee. In reaching this
determination, the Special Committee considered the same factors described
herein which were considered by the Board of Trustees as a whole. The
Special Committee consulted with Security Capital management as well as
with King & Spalding and with Goldman Sachs. In addition, the Special
Committee considered the opinion, analyses and presentations of Goldman
Sachs described below under "--Fairness Opinion," including the opinion of
Goldman Sachs to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and based
upon and subject to certain matters stated therein, the aggregate
consideration to be received by SCI and the holders of Common Shares
pursuant to the Agreements was fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares
other than Security Capital. In this respect, while the Special Committee
did not explicitly adopt Goldman Sachs' financial analyses, the Special
Committee placed special emphasis on such analyses in its overall
evaluation of the Transaction and viewed such analyses as favorable to its
determination. See "--Background" above. The Board of Trustees viewed
Goldman Sachs' opinion as favorable in its determination because Goldman
Sachs is an internationally recognized investment banking firm with
experience in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions and in providing advisory services
and raising capital for companies in the real estate industry.
The Board of Trustees also considered the following potentially negative
factors in its deliberations concerning the Merger:
(i) The fact that, since the number of Common Shares being issued to
Security Capital in the Merger is fixed based on an aggregate value of
$81,870,626, if the aggregate price of the Common Shares to be issued in
the Merger rises above such price before the Closing, Security Capital will
receive Common Shares having a value in excess of the negotiated purchase
price.
(ii) The taxability of the Warrant Issuance to the holders of Common
Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units and the estimated amount of
such tax in light of the anticipated value of the Warrants. For a
description of the taxability of the Warrants, see "--Federal Income Tax
Consequences--The Warrant Issuance."
(iii) The fact that administrative costs of internalizing the management
function may be greater than anticipated, resulting in a decrease in
accretion to SCI's funds from operations.
24
<PAGE>
(iv) Although the Transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to
SCI's funds from operations, the Transaction may not result in a
corresponding increase in the price at which Common Shares trade on the
NYSE.
In addition, the Board of Trustees was aware that certain trustees, officers
and employees have certain interests in the Transaction that are separate from
the interests of shareholders generally. See "--Interests of Certain Persons
in the Transaction." On balance, the Board of Trustees viewed such interests
as neutral to its determination because of the Board of Trustees' belief that
such interests were reasonable under all of the circumstances.
In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Board of Trustees,
the Board of Trustees did not quantify or otherwise attempt to assign relative
weights to the specific factors considered in making its determination.
However, in the view of the Board of Trustees, the potentially negative
factors considered by it were not sufficient, either individually or in the
aggregate, to outweigh the positive factors considered by the Board of
Trustees in its deliberations.
FAIRNESS OPINION
On March 24, 1997, Goldman Sachs delivered its oral opinion to the Special
Committee that, as of the date of such opinion, the aggregate consideration to
be paid and received by SCI and the holders of Common Shares pursuant to the
Agreements was fair to SCI and the holders of Common Shares other than
Security Capital. Goldman Sachs subsequently confirmed its oral opinion by
delivery of its written opinion dated as of the date hereof.
THE FULL TEXT OF THE WRITTEN OPINION OF GOLDMAN SACHS DATED AS OF THE DATE
HEREOF WHICH SETS FORTH ASSUMPTIONS MADE, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND LIMITATIONS
ON THE REVIEW UNDERTAKEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE OPINION IS ATTACHED AS ANNEX
III TO THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
REFERENCE. HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES ARE URGED TO, AND SHOULD, READ SUCH
OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY, WHILE CONTAINING ALL MATERIAL
ELEMENTS OF SUCH OPINION, IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE
FULL TEXT OF THE OPINION.
In connection with its written opinion, Goldman Sachs reviewed, among other
things, the Agreements, this Proxy Statement and Prospectus, the Annual
Reports to shareholders and Annual Reports on Form 10-K of SCI for the two
years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995; certain interim reports to
shareholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q; certain other communications
from SCI to its shareholders; and certain financial analyses and forecasts for
SCI, the REIT Manager and the Property Manager prepared by management of SCI
(who are currently employees of the REIT Manager); and certain financial
analyses for Security Capital prepared by management of Security Capital.
Goldman Sachs also held discussions with members of the senior management of
SCI regarding the past and current business operations, financial condition
and future prospects of SCI, with and without the consummation of such
Agreements. In addition, Goldman Sachs reviewed the reported price and trading
activity for SCI shares, compared certain financial and stock market
information for SCI with similar information for certain other companies, the
securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of
recent business combinations in the real estate industry specifically and in
other industries generally and performed such other studies and analyses as
Goldman Sachs considered appropriate.
In preparing its opinion, Goldman Sachs relied upon the accuracy and
completeness of all of the financial and other information reviewed by Goldman
Sachs and has assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of its
opinion. In that regard, Goldman Sachs assumed, with the consent of the
Special Committee, that the financial forecasts for SCI, the REIT Manager and
Property Manager have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of the management of SCI. In
addition, Goldman Sachs has not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of
the assets and liabilities of SCI or any of its subsidiaries and Goldman Sachs
has not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.
25
<PAGE>
The following is a summary of the analyses which were deemed material by
Goldman Sachs in connection with providing its oral opinion to the Special
Committee on March 24, 1997. Goldman Sachs used substantially the same type of
analyses in connection with providing the written opinion attached hereto as
Annex III.
Comparable Transaction Comparison. Goldman Sachs reviewed and compared
certain financial information relating to companies involved in the management
of REITs and other companies, including information regarding recent
acquisitions of such management companies.
Goldman Sachs reviewed the publicly-announced price of five transactions
involving the acquisition by a publicly-traded REIT of its manager and
computed the price as a multiple of the historical, disclosed earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the acquired
company, on an annualized basis. Goldman Sachs reviewed the following five
management acquisition transactions (of which four had been completed):
Berkshire Realty Company Incorporated, General Growth Properties Incorporated,
Storage Equities Incorporated, Realty Income Corporation and Shurgard Storage
Centers and computed that the acquisition price, expressed as a multiple of
EBITDA, ranged between 6.4x and 11.3x, with an average of 8.6x.
Goldman Sachs reviewed the publicly-announced price of five transactions
involving the acquisition by a publicly-traded real estate company of a
management company and computed the price as a multiple of historical,
disclosed EBITDA of the acquired company, on an annualized basis. The five
transactions reviewed included Marriott International Incorporated's
acquisition of Renaissance Hotel Group, N.V., Central Parking Corporation's
acquisition of Square Industries Incorporated, Insignia Financial Group
Incorporated's acquisition of Paragon Commercial and the Edward S. Gordon
Company, and Doubletree Corporation's acquisition of RFS Incorporated. Goldman
Sachs considered the historical EBITDA data available for Marriott
International Incorporated's acquisition of Renaissance Hotel Group and
Central Parking's acquisition of Square Industries. Goldman Sachs computed
that the acquisition price of those transactions considered, expressed as a
multiple of EBITDA, ranged between 9.2x and 14.4x, with an average of 11.8x.
Goldman Sachs also reviewed and compared certain financial information,
ratios and public market multiples of publicly-traded companies considered to
be comparable to the Property Manager. This comparison consisted of an
analysis, based on stock prices as of March 7, 1997, of selected publicly
traded companies in the real estate property management business. Goldman
Sachs reviewed five publicly traded companies, Cardinal Realty Services
Incorporated, CB Commercial Real Estate, Central Parking Corporation, Insignia
Financial Group Incorporated and National Housing Property Incorporated.
Goldman Sachs compared the latest, publicly disclosed, twelve month EBITDA for
these companies with their enterprise value, computed by multiplying the March
7, 1997 closing stock price by the total number of shares outstanding and
adding long-term debt as of December 31, 1996. Goldman Sachs computed that the
enterprise value, expressed as a multiple of EBITDA, ranged between 8.2x and
22.5x, with an average of 15.0x.
Goldman Sachs reviewed forecasted operating and financial information for
the REIT Manager and the Property Manager provided by management and computed
that the acquisition price of $81,870,626, expressed as a multiple of 1998
forecasted EBITDA, was 5.5x, which is below the average multiples discussed
above.
Pro Forma Funds from Operations Analysis. Goldman Sachs prepared pro forma
analyses of the financial impact of the consummation of the Agreements on
SCI's funds from operations available to holders of Common Shares. Goldman
Sachs reviewed forecasted operating and financial information for SCI, the
REIT Manager and Property Manager provided by management of SCI and Security
Capital and, in performing its pro forma funds from operations analysis of the
financial impact of the consummation of the Agreements on SCI's funds from
operations available to holders of Common Shares, Goldman Sachs used
management's forecasts, except that Goldman Sachs assumed that SCI would
continue to acquire and develop properties similar to SCI's properties rather
than basing its analysis on properties currently owned or identified to be
acquired or developed in the next 12 months. For a discussion of the
assumptions underlying Security Capital's forecasted operating and financial
information, see "The Transaction--Recommendations of the Board of Trustees
and Reasons for the Transaction" above. Goldman Sachs compared the funds from
operations per share of SCI assuming alternately
26
<PAGE>
that (i) the Agreements are not consummated and (ii) the Agreements are
consummated. Goldman Sachs reviewed the impact of the consummation of the
Agreements on 1998 funds from operations per Common Share using management's
forecasts for SCI's 1998 operations and assuming the minimum and maximum
number of Common Shares to be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the
Merger Agreement. This analysis indicated that the increase in 1998 funds from
operations available to holders of Common Shares, on a pro forma basis giving
effect to the Transaction, would range between 4.6% and 5.4% on a primary
share basis (assuming no conversion of Series B Preferred Shares into Common
Shares and no exchange of Units for Common Shares), and 4.4% and 5.1% on a
fully diluted basis (assuming the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred
Shares into Common Shares and the exchange of all Units for Common Shares).
Funds From Operations Contribution Analysis. Goldman Sachs reviewed
forecasted operating and financial information for SCI, the REIT Manager and
the Property Manager provided by management of SCI. Goldman Sachs reviewed the
impact of the Transaction on 1998 funds from operations using management's
forecasts for SCI's 1998 operations and assuming the minimum and maximum
number of Common Shares to be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement. Based on such forecasts, Goldman Sachs compared SCI's
1998 funds from operations attributable to the acquisition of the REIT Manager
and the Property Manager with the relative consideration to be paid. This
analysis indicated that the funds from operations attributable to the
acquisition of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager would range between
7.3% and 7.9% of SCI's forecasted 1998 funds from operations, and the
consideration, in the form of Common Shares, would range between 3.2% and 4.0%
of the equity market value of SCI (assuming the minimum and maximum price of
Common Shares to be used in determining the consideration to be paid to
Security Capital pursuant to the Merger Agreement).
Warrants. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Warrant Issuance
Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the holders of Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares and Units, other than Security Capital, will receive
Warrants to purchase Class B Shares of Security Capital. Accordingly, Goldman
Sachs analyzed the value of these Warrants based on the following assumptions
and terms: (i) Class B Shares of Security Capital are listed and publicly
traded; (ii) the exercise price of the Warrants is the same as the price of
the Class B Shares of Security Capital at the time of issuance of the
Warrants; and (iii) the Warrants are exercisable for twelve months from date
of issuance. Goldman Sachs considered (a) the one-year Treasury rate as the
risk-free rate and (b) the range of share price volatility based on (I) the
volatility of Security Capital's net asset value per share, based on the daily
net asset value per share of Security Capital between November 13, 1996 and
January 27, 1997 as computed and provided by Security Capital's management and
(II) the volatility of the share prices of the public companies in which
Security Capital has direct and indirect investments, based on the daily share
price of such public companies between November 1, 1996 and March 5, 1997.
Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and a range of price per share
volatility as described above, Goldman Sachs determined that the aggregate
theoretical value of the Warrants to be received by holders of Common Shares,
other than Security Capital, and holders of the Series B Preferred Shares and
Units, other than Security Capital, ranged between $8.7 million and $16.1
million.
The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not
necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting
portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without
considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the
processes underlying Goldman Sachs' opinion. In arriving at its fairness
determination, Goldman Sachs considered the results of all such analyses,
taken as a whole. The analyses were prepared solely for the purposes of
Goldman Sachs' providing its opinion to the Special Committee as to the
fairness of the consideration received by SCI and holders of Common Shares
other than Security Capital and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily
reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold.
Analyses based on forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative
of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable
than suggested by such analyses. Because such analyses are inherently subject
to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control
of the parties or their respective advisors, neither SCI, Goldman Sachs nor
any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially
different from those forecast.
27
<PAGE>
As described above, Goldman Sachs' opinion to the Special Committee was one
of the many factors taken into consideration by the Board of Trustees in
making its determination to approve the Transaction. The foregoing summary
does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by
Goldman Sachs and is qualified by reference to the written opinion of Goldman
Sachs set forth in Annex III hereto.
Goldman Sachs, as part of its investment banking business, is continually
engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings,
secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements
and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.
Goldman Sachs has acted as financial advisor and provided certain investment
banking services to SCI and certain affiliates of SCI from time to time
including participating in and receiving fees in connection with the public
offering of securities. Goldman Sachs is familiar with SCI having acted as its
financial advisor and having acted in connection with the public offering of
securities as (i) lead manager of the offering of $274.5 million of Common
Shares, in October 1994. In addition, Goldman Sachs is a placement agent under
SCI's medium-term note program, (ii) lead manager of the offering of $135
million of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial
Interest, in June 1995 and (iii) lead manager of the offering of $100 million
of 7.81% Medium-Term Notes-Series A, due 2015, in February 1997. Goldman Sachs
has also provided certain investment banking services to Security Capital in
August 1994 in connection with Security Capital's merger with an affiliate. In
addition, Goldman Sachs will act as co-manager in connection with the initial
public offering of the Class B Shares of Security Capital, for which it,
together with any other underwriters, will receive usual and customary
underwriting discounts and commissions plus reimbursements of expenses
customarily reimbursed in such offerings. Goldman Sachs may in the future
provide financial advisory and investment banking services to SCI, PTR,
ATLANTIC, Security Capital or their affiliates. Goldman Sachs is an
internationally recognized investment banking firm with experience in the
valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions. The Special Committee selected Goldman Sachs to act as its
financial advisor on the basis of Goldman Sachs' research expertise and
experience in providing advisory services to public and private companies and
based on its familiarity with SCI and its properties.
Pursuant to a letter agreement dated February 6, 1997 (the "GS Engagement
Letter"), the Special Committee engaged Goldman Sachs to render an opinion
with respect to the consideration to be paid and received by SCI and its
shareholders other than Security Capital in connection with the acquisition of
the REIT Manager and the Property Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the GS
Engagement Letter, SCI has agreed to pay Goldman Sachs a fee of $250,000, one-
half of which would be paid upon the execution of the GS Engagement Letter and
the other half upon delivery of Goldman Sachs' written opinion, whether or not
such opinion is favorable as to the fairness of the Transaction. SCI also has
agreed to reimburse Goldman Sachs for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses,
including attorneys' fees and disbursements, and to indemnify Goldman Sachs
against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under federal
securities laws.
THE WARRANT ISSUANCE
The Warrants will be issued by Security Capital directly to holders of
Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units (other than Security
Capital) following approval of the proposals by SCI common shareholders and
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to the Merger Agreement. The
Warrants will be issued to the Warrants Issuance Agent (as defined below) for
distribution to holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units
on a date (the "Warrant Issuance Date") within 30 days following the Warrant
Issuance Record Date, as determined by the Security Capital Board. The Warrant
Issuance will be made to holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares
and Units of record at the close of business on the Warrant Issuance Record
Date, which record date will be within 31 days after the Closing Date. The
amount of Warrants to be received by each holder of Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares and Units will depend on the number of Common Shares, Series
B Preferred Shares and Units outstanding on the Warrant Issuance Record Date
and the closing price of the Class B Shares on the Warrant Issuance Date.
Based on the number of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units
outstanding on May 31, 1997, and assuming a price of $ per Class B Share,
28
<PAGE>
each holder of Common Shares would receive Warrants for each Common
Share held, each holder of Series B Preferred Shares would receive
Warrants for each Series B Preferred Share held and each holder of Units would
receive Warrants for each Unit held. To the extent that (i) additional
Common Shares are issued prior to the Closing Date, (ii) any SCI shareholders
do not exercise their rights to subscribe in the Concurrent Rights Offering,
(iii) any Series B Preferred Shares are converted into Common Shares,
outstanding Units are exchanged for Common Shares or outstanding SCI
convertible or exchangeable securities are converted into or exchanged for
Common Shares prior to the Warrant Issuance Record Date or (iv) the actual
price of Class B Shares on the Warrant Issuance Date is different from that
assumed above, the number of Warrants issuable to holders of Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares and Units will differ.
No certificates or scrip representing fractional Warrants will be issued to
holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units as part of the
Warrant Issuance. The First National Bank of Boston, as warrant issuance agent
(the "Warrant Issuance Agent"), will, as soon as practicable after the Warrant
Issuance Date, aggregate and sell all fractional Warrants on the NYSE or
otherwise at then prevailing market prices and remit the net proceeds (after
deduction of brokerage fees) to holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred
Shares and Units who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
Warrants.
NO HOLDER OF COMMON SHARES, SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES OR UNITS WILL BE
REQUIRED TO PAY ANY CASH OR OTHER CONSIDERATION FOR THE WARRANTS THEY RECEIVE
OR TO SURRENDER OR EXCHANGE COMMON SHARES, SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES OR UNITS
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE WARRANTS. HOLDERS OF SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES AND
UNITS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO CONVERT THEIR SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES OR
EXCHANGE THEIR UNITS IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WARRANT ISSUANCE. THE
WARRANT ISSUANCE WILL NOT AFFECT THE NUMBER OF, OR THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO,
OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARES, SERIES B PREFERRED SHARES OR UNITS.
For a description of the terms of the Warrants and the Class B Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof, see "Description of Capital Stock" in the
attached Security Capital Prospectus.
CONCURRENT RIGHTS OFFERING
SCI is conducting the Concurrent Rights Offering pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement to allow its holders of Common Shares (other than
Security Capital) to maintain their proportionate ownership and to allow
holders of Common Shares to purchase Common Shares at a discount to the price
at which Security Capital is acquiring Common Shares in the Merger. The price
at which Common Shares are being offered in the Concurrent Rights Offering
will be equal to % of the five-day trailing average closing price of Common
Shares on the day prior to the SCI Record Date. In the event that such price
is greater than $24.75 (the high end of the range at which Common Shares may
be issued to Security Capital in the Merger), the price at which Common Shares
will be offered in the Concurrent Rights Offering will be $24.75. The
Concurrent Rights Offering will only be made by means of a separate prospectus
of SCI.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
General
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax
considerations of the Merger and the Warrant Issuance to SCI and holders of
Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units. To the extent such summary
discusses matters of law, it is based upon the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt
or a private letter ruling from the IRS. The following discussion is based
upon the current provisions of the Code, its legislative history,
administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and Treasury regulations,
all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The
following discussion does not purport to be a complete discussion of all U.S.
federal income tax considerations. The following discussion does not address
the tax consequences of the Merger and the Warrant Issuance under state, local
or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, the following discussion may not apply, in
whole or in part, to particular categories of SCI shareholders, such as
dealers in securities, insurance companies, foreign persons, financial
institutions and tax-exempt organizations (except with regard to
29
<PAGE>
"unrelated business taxable income"). THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR
GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES, SERIES B PREFERRED
SHARES AND UNITS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE
SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER OR WARRANT ISSUANCE, INCLUDING ANY
STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES.
The Merger
In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain representations of
Security Capital and SCI, the Merger will be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
Accordingly, SCI will not recognize income, gain or loss upon the consummation
of the Merger (assuming that SCI makes the election described under "--Built-
in Gain Rules" below). In addition, the Merger will not result in a taxable
event to the holders of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units.
Nonetheless, such opinion is not binding on the IRS nor will it preclude the
IRS from adopting a contrary position. Moreover, since no ruling from the IRS
will be sought with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the
Merger, there can be no complete assurance that the IRS will agree with the
conclusions set forth herein. The discussion below assumes that the Merger
will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Code.
Basis and Holding Period. Immediately following the Closing Date, the assets
of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager in the hands of SCI will have the
same adjusted tax basis as they had in the hands of the REIT Manager and the
Property Manager immediately prior to the Closing Date. The holding period for
each of the assets of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager in the hands
of SCI following the Closing Date will include the period each asset was held
by the REIT Manager and the Property Manager immediately prior to the Closing
Date.
Built-in Gain Rules. Under the "Built-in Gain Rules" of IRS Notice 88-19,
1988-1 C.B. 486, SCI will be subject to a corporate level tax if it disposes
of any of the assets acquired from Security Capital in the Merger at any time
during the 10-year period beginning on the Closing Date (the "Restriction
Period"). This tax would be imposed on SCI at the top regular corporate rate
(currently 35%) in effect at the time of the disposition on the excess of (i)
the lesser of (a) the fair market value on the Closing Date of the assets
disposed of or (b) the selling price of such assets over (ii) SCI's adjusted
basis on the Closing Date in such assets (such excess being referred to as the
"Built-in Gain"). SCI currently does not intend to dispose of any of the
assets acquired in the Merger during the Restriction Period, but there can be
no assurance that one or more of such dispositions will not occur. The results
described above with respect to the recognition of Built-in Gain assume that
SCI will make the appropriate election pursuant to the Built-in Gain Rules or
applicable future administrative rules or Treasury regulations. Under the
Merger Agreement, SCI has covenanted to make this election.
Liability for Other Taxes. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Security
Capital will be responsible for income tax liabilities attributable to the
operations of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager through the
consummation of the Merger. However, SCI, as successor to the REIT Manager and
the Property Manager in the Merger, will be severally liable (together with
Security Capital and the members of its "affiliated group" within the meaning
of Section 1502 of the Code) for income tax liabilities of Security Capital
and the members of its "affiliated group" for periods prior to and including
the year in which the consummation of the Merger occurs. Security Capital,
however, has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless SCI from and against any
income tax liabilities of the REIT Manager and Property Manager for all
periods prior to the Closing Date and any income tax liabilities of Security
Capital and the members of its "affiliated group." See "The Transaction--The
Merger--Terms of the Merger--Indemnification" for a description of this
indemnification and the related limitations on it.
Consequences of the Merger on SCI's Qualification as a REIT. In light of the
unique federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs, the Merger could
have adverse consequences on SCI's continued qualification as a REIT. In the
opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based upon certain representations of
Security Capital and SCI, the consummation of the Transaction will not
jeopardize the status of SCI as a REIT under the Code.
30
<PAGE>
The Warrant Issuance
Receipt of Warrants. Pursuant to the Warrant Issuance: (i) a holder of Common
Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units will have ordinary income upon
receipt of a Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Issuance in an amount equal to the
fair market value of the Warrants received on the Warrant Issuance Date, (ii) a
holder's tax basis in the Warrants received will equal the fair market value of
the Warrants received on the Warrant Issuance Date and (iii) a holder's holding
period for the Warrants received will begin on the Warrant Issuance Date. For a
discussion of the federal income tax consequences from holding or disposing of
the Warrants, see "Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the attached Security
Capital Prospectus.
Fractional Warrants. If a holder of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares
or Units receives cash in lieu of a fractional Warrant, such holder will
recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the tax basis of such
fractional Warrant (i.e. the fair market value of such fractional Warrant on
the Warrant Issuance Date) and the amount of cash received. Such gain or loss
will constitute capital gain or loss if the holder holds the Warrants as a
capital asset on the Warrant Issuance Date, and will be short-term capital gain
or loss since the holding period for such fractional Warrants will be less than
one year.
Disposition of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units Prior to the
Warrant Issuance Record Date. While a holder generally would not recognize
ordinary income on the disposition of his or her Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares or Units, a holder disposing of his or her Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares or Units on or after the Closing Date and prior to
the Warrant Issuance Record Date may recognize ordinary income in an amount
equal to the fair market value of the right of a holder of Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares or Units to receive the Warrants, measured as of the
time of disposition of the Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units,
as the case may be. A holder would not be able to offset any portion of such
ordinary income with his or her tax basis in his or her Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares or Units. To the extent a holder recognizes ordinary income,
the amount realized for purposes of calculating capital gain or loss on such
disposition will be reduced by the amount of such ordinary income.
Tax-Exempt Holders. Section 511 of the Code imposes on organizations exempt
from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code a tax at corporate
income tax rates on such organizations' "unrelated business taxable income." In
the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, the receipt by a tax-exempt holder of
Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units of the Warrants pursuant to
the Warrant Issuance will be treated as unrelated business taxable income.
Backup Withholding. Under the backup withholding rules of the Code (which
generally impose a 31% withholding tax on certain persons who fail to furnish
the information required under the United States tax reporting requirements), a
holder of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units may be subject to
backup withholding with respect to the receipt of the Warrants unless such
holder (i) is a corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories
and, when required, demonstrates this fact or (ii) provides a correct taxpayer
identification number and certifies under penalties of perjury that the
taxpayer identification number is correct and that the holder is not currently
subject to backup withholding because of a failure to report all dividend and
interest income. Any amount withheld under these rules will be credited against
the holder's Federal income tax liability.
Information Reporting. Security Capital is required to report to a holder of
Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units receiving Warrants and the
IRS the value of the Warrants received pursuant to the Warrant Issuance on Form
1099-MISC.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE TRANSACTION
If the Transaction is consummated, the current officers and employees of the
REIT Manager and the Property Manager (except Thomas G. Wattles, who will
remain a Managing Director of Security Capital and the
31
<PAGE>
Non-Executive Chairman of SCI, and Jeffrey A. Klopf) will become officers and
employees of SCI and be compensated for their services by SCI. The following
table sets forth the base compensation for K. Dane Brooksher, Co-Chairman and
Chief Operating Officer, and Irving Lyons, Co-Chairman and Chief Investment
Officer, and the three other most highly compensated executive officers of SCI
(the "Named Executive Officers") who will become employees of SCI and for all
executive officers as a group (who will become employees of SCI) for 1996. All
compensation for 1996 was paid by Security Capital.

For 1997, each Named Executive Officer will remain an employee of the REIT
Manager and be compensated by Security Capital until the closing of the
Transaction, at which time he will become an employee of SCI and be
compensated by SCI. For 1997, each Named Executive Officer will receive a
salary and be eligible for a target bonus. The actual amount of the bonus
(which may be higher or lower than the target bonus) will be determined by the
Compensation Committee at the end of the year and will be based on several
factors, including individual performance, SCI's performance, SCI's financial
condition, competitive conditions in the real estate industry and
recommendations of senior management. SCI will continue the same compensation
arrangements for the portion of 1997 in which the Named Executive Officers are
employees of SCI. The Named Executive Officers will be paid the following
salaries for 1997 and will be eligible for the following target bonuses for
1997:

In addition, subject to shareholder approval, during 1997 officers of SCI
will be granted options to purchase Common Shares. Officers and certain
employees of SCI will also be granted the right to purchase Common Shares
under the 1997 Incentive Plan; SCI will loan such persons up to 95% of the
purchase price for any Common Shares so purchased on a full recourse basis.
Additionally, during 1997 officers will also be granted options to acquire
Class A Shares of Security Capital. See "Long-Term Incentive Plan."
The Board of Trustees will also adopt a 401(k) plan which will permit
eligible employees to make pre-tax contributions of up to $9,500 to the plan
or such other amount as may be permitted under Code Section 401(k). SCI will
match 50% of participants' contributions that do not exceed 6% of their
compensation. SCI intends to make such matching contributions in the form of
Common Shares. Participants will become vested in the matching contributions
20% per each year of service. Employees of the REIT Manager and Property
Manager will be credited for service for the time they were employees of
Security Capital.
THE MERGER AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SCI and Security Capital will take all
actions necessary to cause the REIT Manager and the Property Manager to be
merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of SCI in exchange for
Common Shares. The number of Common Shares to be issued to Security Capital
was based upon the average closing price of the Common Shares for the five
trading days ending on the day prior to
32
<PAGE>
the SCI Record Date, subject to the price being within an 11.24% range of the
closing price of the Common Shares on March 14, 1997 ($22.25). If the price of
the Common Shares on the SCI Record Date was outside of the range, then the
number of Common Shares issuable to Security Capital would have been based on
the high end ($24.75) or low end ($19.75) of the range, as the case may be.
The minimum and maximum number of Common Shares issuable to Security Capital
in the Transaction would have been 3,307,904 and 4,145,348, respectively. For
a description of the Warrants to be received by holders of Common Shares,
Series B Preferred Shares and Units, see "--The Warrant Issuance" above.
The following is a summary of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as

afford to each other and their respective accountants, counsel, financial
advisors and other representatives full access during normal business hours
throughout the period prior to the Closing Date to all properties, books,
contracts, commitments and records of such party, as appropriate and, during
such period, shall furnish promptly to the other, (a) a copy of each report,
schedule and other document filed or received pursuant to the requirements of

with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) such other

including, but not limited
34
<PAGE>
to, obtaining all required consents, waivers and approvals from the Commission
and any other applicable governmental entity; (vii) consult with each other
prior to issuing any press release or any written public statement with respect
to the Merger Agreement or the Transaction and shall not issue any such press
release or written public statement prior to review by the other party, except
that prior review and approval shall not be required if, in the reasonable
judgment of the party seeking to issue such release or public statement, prior
review and approval would prevent the timely dissemination of such release or

the case of Security Capital, vote all Common Shares owned by it in favor of

(xi) in the case of SCI, make an election in accordance with IRS Notice 88-19,
1988-1 C.B. 486, or any future applicable administrative rules or treasury

assets acquired in the Merger at any time during the 10-year period beginning
on the Closing Date; and (xii) in the case of Security Capital, not sell any
Common Shares owned by it for a period of six months following the Closing

Conditions to the Transaction. The respective obligations of SCI and Security
Capital to effect the Transaction are subject to a number of conditions,
including, among others: (i) the other party shall have performed in all

terms of all such consents, orders or approvals, would materially impair the
value of the Transaction to SCI; and (x) no governmental authority shall have
promulgated any statute, rule or regulation which, when taken together with

of SCI or Security Capital after December 31, 1997 if the Transaction has not
been consummated on or before that date (so long as the terminating party has
not breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement except for immaterial
breaches); (iii) unilaterally by SCI or Security Capital if (a) the other
party fails to perform any covenant or agreement in the Merger Agreement in
any material respect and does not cure such failure in all material respects
within 15 business days after receipt of a written notice of the alleged
failure from the other party, (b) the other party fails to fulfill or complete
a condition to the obligations of that party (which condition is not waived)
by reason of a breach by that party of its obligations in the Merger Agreement

36
<PAGE>
In the event of termination of the Merger Agreement by either party as
provided above, the Merger Agreement will become void and there will be no
further obligation on the part of any party or their respective officers and
trustees or directors (except as set forth in certain provisions of the Merger
Agreement, including the expense reimbursement described under "--Expenses").
However in the event that termination is pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) in the
previous paragraph, Security Capital or SCI, as the case may be, shall pay to
the other party all of the documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such
party after execution of the Merger Agreement in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby.
Amendment and Waiver. Subject to applicable law, the Merger Agreement may be
amended by the written agreement of SCI and Security Capital. However, the
Merger Agreement may not be amended in any material respect subsequent to
obtaining the approval of the shareholders of SCI and Security Capital. SCI
and Security Capital may agree to (a) extend the time for the performance of
any of the obligations or other acts of the parties, (b) waive any
inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger
Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant thereto and (c) waive
compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in the Merger
Agreement.
Indemnification. Security Capital has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
SCI from and against any losses incurred by SCI as a result of any (i) breach
of, or inaccuracy in, any of Security Capital's representations and warranties
or other agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, (ii) any breach of, or
inaccuracy in, any of SCI's representations and warranties contained in the
Merger Agreement other than those relating to the issuance of Common Shares
and authority of SCI with respect to the Merger Agreement and (iii) any acts
or omissions of either the REIT Manager or Property Manager in their
capacities as such prior to the closing of the Merger, but, in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii), only to the extent that such breach, inaccuracy, act
or omission arises out of or results from the gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct of either the REIT Manager or Property Manager. Security
Capital has also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless SCI from and against
any income tax liabilities of the REIT Manager and Property Manager for all
periods prior to the Closing Date and any income tax liabilities arising
pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.1502-6 or any analogous provision. SCI has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Security Capital from and against losses
incurred by Security Capital as a result of any breach of, or inaccuracy in,
SCI's representations and warranties relating to the issuance of Common Shares
and authority of SCI with respect to the Merger Agreement. The indemnification
obligations of SCI and Security Capital (other than Security Capital's
indemnification obligations as to certain tax matters) are subject to a
maximum amount of the fair market value (as defined and determined on the SCI
Record Date) of the Common Shares issuable to Security Capital in the
Transaction. The obligations to indemnify terminate two years after the
Closing Date (other than Security Capital's indemnification obligations as to
certain tax matters for which the obligation to indemnify terminates upon the
expiration of the applicable statute of limitations) and may be invoked only
in the event of losses that exceed $250,000, in which event the
indemnification will cover all losses (including the initial amount).
INVESTOR AGREEMENT
Pursuant to an investor agreement (the "Investor Agreement"), between SCI
and Security Capital, Security Capital is entitled to designate three persons
to be nominated for election to the Board of Trustees. So long as Security
Capital beneficially owns at least 10% of the Common Shares, SCI is prohibited
from increasing the number of members of the Board of Trustees to more than
seven. Additionally, the Investor Agreement, among other things, requires SCI
to obtain Security Capital's approval of (i) the annual operating budget and
substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts for investment management,
property management or leasing services or that contemplate annual payments in
excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single
transaction or a group of related transactions where the purchase or sale
price exceeds $5 million. The Investor Agreement also provides certain
registration rights to Security Capital in respect of Common Shares
beneficially owned by Security Capital.
As part of the Transaction, SCI and Security Capital will amend and restate
the Investor Agreement (as so amended and restated, the "Amended and Restated
Investor Agreement"), which will provide that, without first
37
<PAGE>
having consulted with the nominees of Security Capital designated in writing,
SCI may not seek Board of Trustees approval of (i) SCI's annual budget; (ii)
incurring expenses in any year exceeding (a) any line item in the annual
budget by the greater of $500,000 or 20% and (b) the total expenses set forth
in the annual budget by 15%; (iii) the acquisition or sale of any assets in
any single transaction or series of related transactions in the ordinary
course of SCI's business where the aggregate purchase price paid or received
by SCI exceeds $25 million; and (iv) entering into any new contract with a
service provider (a) for investment management, property management or leasing
services or (b) that reasonably contemplates annual contract payments by SCI
in excess of $1 million. SCI is under no obligation to accept or comply with
any advice offered by Security Capital with respect to the foregoing matters.
Additionally, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 25% of
the Common Shares, Security Capital will have the right to approve the
following matters proposed by SCI: (i) the issuance or sale of any Common
Shares, (including the grant of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase Common Shares or any security convertible into or exchangeable
for Common Shares or the issuance or sale of any security convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share less than the fair market
value of a Common Share on the date of such issuance or sale; (ii) the
issuance and sale of any disqualified shares (as defined) if, as a result
thereof, SCI's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 1.4
to 1.0; (iii) the adoption of any employee benefit plan pursuant to which
shares of beneficial interest of SCI or any securities convertible into shares
of beneficial interest of SCI may be issued and any action with respect to the
compensation of the senior officers of SCI (including the granting or award of
any bonuses or share-based incentive awards); and (iv) the incurrence of any
additional indebtedness (including guarantees and including renegotiations and
restructurings of existing indebtedness) if, as a result thereof, SCI's
Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 2.0 to 1.0.
The restriction referred to in clause (i) above does not apply to (A) the sale
or grant of any options to purchase shares of beneficial interest of SCI
pursuant to the provisions of any benefit plan approved by the shareholders of
SCI, (B) the issuance or sale of shares of beneficial interest upon the
exercise of any rights, options or warrants granted, or upon the conversion or
exchange of any convertible or exchangeable security issued or sold, prior to
the Closing Date or in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and
Restated Investor Agreement, (C) the issuance and sale of any shares of
beneficial interest of SCI pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and share
purchase plan approved by the Board of Trustees or (D) the issuance, grant of
distribution of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of beneficial interest of
SCI or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of beneficial
interest.
The Amended and Restated Investor Agreement will also provide that, so long
as Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding Common Shares, SCI
may not increase the number of persons serving on the Board of Trustees to
more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled to designate one or
more persons as trustees of SCI, as follows: (i) so long as Security Capital
owns at least 10% but less than 25% of the outstanding Shares, it is entitled
to nominate one person; and (ii) so long as Security Capital owns at least 25%
of the outstanding Common Shares, it is entitled to nominate that number of
persons as shall bear approximately the same ratio to the total number of
members of the Board of Trustees as the number of Common Shares beneficially
owned by Security Capital bears to the total number of outstanding Common
Shares, provided, that Security Capital shall be entitled to designate no more
than three persons so long as the Board of Trustees consists of no more than
seven members.
As part of the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement, Security Capital may
make employment opportunities with Security Capital or its affiliates
available to the officers and employees of SCI. Prior to commencing
discussions with a senior officer of SCI about any such opportunity, Security
Capital must give the Board of Trustees 14 days' prior written notice.
In addition, the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement provides Security
Capital with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified
circumstances, Security Capital may request at any time, registration of all
of Security Capital's Common Shares pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act. Security Capital may request one such registration for every $100 million
(based on market value) of Common Shares it owns.
38
<PAGE>
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
Upon consummation of the Transaction, SCI and Security Capital will enter
into an administrative services agreement (the "Administrative Services
Agreement"), pursuant to which Security Capital will provide SCI with certain
administrative and other services with respect to certain aspects of SCI's
business, as selected from time to time by SCI at its option. These services
are expected to include, but are not limited to, payroll and tax
administration services, cash management and accounts payable services, data
processing and other computer services, human resources, research, investor
relations, insurance administration and legal administration. The fees payable
to Security Capital will be equal to Security Capital's cost of providing such
services, plus 20%, subject to a maximum amount of approximately $7.1 million
during the initial term of the agreement, of which approximately $2.0 million
will apply to the period between closing of the Merger and December 31, 1997
and the remainder will apply to 1998. Cost savings under the Administrative
Services Agreement will accrue to SCI. The agreement will be for an initial
term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically renewed for
consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the
independent members of the Board of Trustees.
LICENSE AGREEMENT
SCI and Security Capital will enter into a license agreement on the Closing
Date (the "License Agreement") pursuant to which Security Capital will grant
SCI a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's registered logo and the
non-exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital." The term of the
license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to SCI's right to extend the
license for up to two additional five-year periods. As part of the License
Agreement, Security Capital will agree that, during the term of the agreement,
it will not exercise its rights under the Declaration of Trust to cause SCI to
change its name.
PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT
SCI and Security Capital will enter into a protection of business agreement
on the Closing Date (the "Protection of Business Agreement"), which will
prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from providing, anywhere within
the United States, directly or indirectly, substantially the same services as
those currently provided by the REIT Manager and the Property Manager to any
entity that owns or operates distribution properties. The Protection of
Business Agreement does not prohibit Security Capital or its affiliates from
owning the securities of any class of SCI. The Protection of Business
Agreement will terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or
indirectly (other than by purchase from Security Capital or any of its
affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting in concert), other than
Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the greater of (i) 25% or more
of the outstanding shares of voting securities of SCI and (ii) the percentage
of outstanding voting securities of SCI owned directly or indirectly by
Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case without the prior written
consent of the Board of Trustees. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on
the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Effective December 1, 1991, SCI entered into an agreement (as amended and
restated the "REIT Management Agreement") pursuant to which the REIT Manager
assumed the day-to-day management of SCI. The REIT Management Agreement
requires SCI to pay a base annual fee of approximately 16% of cash flow as
defined in the REIT Management Agreement. Cash flow is calculated by reference
to SCI's cash flow from operations, plus (i) fees paid to the REIT Manager,
(ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the request of the independent
trustees of SCI and (iii) 33% of any interest paid by SCI on convertible
subordinated debentures (of which there are currently none); and, after
deducting actual or assumed regularly scheduled principal and interest
payments for long term debt and distributions actually paid with respect to
non-convertible preferred shares of beneficial interest, such as the Series A
Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares. The REIT Management fee
calculation includes a portion of the interest on convertible debt because of
the equity characteristics represented by the conversion feature of such debt.
SCI does not currently plan to issue any
39
<PAGE>
convertible debt. Cash flow does not include interest and dividend income from
SCI Development Services Incorporated, realized gains from dispositions of
investments or incomes from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also
receives a fee of 0.20% per year on the average daily balance of cash
equivalent investments. Total real estate operating, general and
administrative costs will increase due to SCI's larger asset size following
each security offering, as well as unforeseen changes which may occur. REIT
Management fees paid by SCI will increase if cash flow of SCI, as defined in
the REIT Management Agreement, increases, including such increases that may
relate to increases in SCI's assets. SCI does not expect its other operating
costs and expenses to increase except as a result of inflation, market
conditions or other factors over which the REIT Manager has no control.
Operating costs for particular items, however, may be increased if they are
expected to result in greater decreases in other expenses or increases in
revenues from SCI assets. For example, land holding costs and pursuit cost
write-offs fluctuate in relation to SCI's acquisition and development
activity. SCI is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for all expenses
incurred by the REIT Manager on behalf of SCI relating to SCI's operations,
primarily including third party legal, accounting, property development and
similar fees paid on behalf of SCI, and travel expenses incurred in seeking
financing, property acquisitions, property development, property sales,
attending Board of Trustees and shareholders meetings and similar activities
on behalf of SCI. Under the REIT Management Agreement, the REIT Manager or any
of its affiliates are not precluded from rendering services to other
investors, including other REITs, even if such investors compete with SCI. The
REIT Management Agreement is renewable by SCI annually, subject to a
determination by the independent Trustees that the REIT Manager's performance
has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the REIT Manager is
fair. Each of SCI and the REIT Manager may terminate the REIT Management
Agreement on 60 days' notice. Because of the year-to-year nature of the
agreement, its maximum effect on SCI's results of operations cannot be
predicted, other than that REIT Management fees will generally increase or
decrease in proportion to cash flow increases or decreases. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, the REIT
Manager earned REIT Management fees totalling $6.6 million and $21.5 million,
respectively.
The REIT Management Agreement will be terminated upon closing of the Merger.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
The Property Manager began providing property management services for
certain SCI properties in January 1994. At May 31, 1997, the Property Manager
was providing property management services in 29 target market cities and was
actively managing 81.1 million square feet, 96.3% of SCI's operating portfolio
of 84.3 million square feet. Rates for services performed by the Property
Manager range between 1.5% and 3% per annum of property revenues and are
subject to annual approval by SCI's independent trustees and are at or below
market rates. SCI may terminate the property management agreements on 60 days'
notice. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996, SCI paid property management fees and leasing commissions
of $3.6 million and $10.1 million to the Property Manager, respectively, and
reimbursed the Property Manager for maintenance recovery expenditures
collected from SCI's customers of $506,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.
The management agreements between SCI and the Property Manager will be
terminated upon closing of the Merger.
REGULATORY FILINGS AND APPROVALS
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SCI or Security Capital may terminate the
Merger Agreement if (i) any governmental consent, order or approval legally
required for the consummation of the Transaction has not been obtained and in
effect on the Closing Date or (ii) any governmental consent, order or approval
legally required for the consummation of the Transaction shall have any terms,
which in the reasonable judgement of either SCI or Security Capital, would
materially impair the value of the Transaction to SCI or Security Capital,
respectively.
40
<PAGE>
RESTRICTIONS ON SALES BY AFFILIATES
The Warrants to be issued in the Transaction will be registered under the
Securities Act. Such securities will be freely transferable under the
Securities Act, except for those issued to any person who may be deemed to be
an affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 145 under the
Securities Act, an "Affiliate") of SCI. Affiliates may not sell their Warrants
(or Class B Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) acquired in connection with
the Transaction except pursuant to (i) an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act covering such securities, (ii) paragraph (d) of Rule
145 or (iii) any other applicable exemption under the Securities Act. SCI has
agreed to use its best efforts to procure written agreements ("Affiliate
Agreements") from executive officers, trustees and other Affiliates containing
appropriate representations and commitments intended to ensure compliance with
the Securities Act.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The transactions to be accomplished as a result of the Merger will be
accounted for in accordance with GAAP as explained in the pro forma financial
statements of SCI presented at page F-1.
EXPENSES
The Merger Agreement provides that, whether or not the Transaction is
consummated, all expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and
the Transaction will be paid by the party incurring such expenses; provided,
however, that (i) all costs and expenses of the Special Committee (including
fees and expenses of counsel and its financial advisors), and all fees and
expenses in connection with the filing, printing and distributing the
registration statement relating to the Concurrent Rights Offering and this
Proxy Statement (not including the Security Capital Prospectus) shall be paid
by SCI and (ii) all costs and expenses in connection with filing, printing and
distributing the Registration Statement (not including the Proxy Statement)
and all fees and expenses in connection with the listing of the Warrants on
any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system shall be paid
by Security Capital. See "Expenses of Solicitation."
DISSENTERS' APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Holders of Common Shares are not entitled to dissenters' appraisal rights in
connection with the Transaction.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE
TRANSACTION AND RECOMMENDS THAT SCI SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF
THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION. The affirmative vote of the holders
of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares is required to approve and
adopt this proposal.
41
<PAGE>
PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE DECLARATION OF TRUST
(PROPOSAL 2)
The Declaration of Trust contains certain provisions which could prohibit
the Transaction from being completed. For example, Article 1, Section 6 of the
Declaration of Trust currently restricts SCI from purchasing properties from
the REIT Manager, a sponsor of SCI, trustees or affiliates thereof. Other
transactions with principal affiliates are also prohibited.
Since the Board of Trustees has approved the Transaction, the Board of
Trustees has determined to amend the Declaration of Trust in order to be able
to enter into various obligations contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Therefore, in order to remove any doubt as to the ability of SCI to consummate
the Transaction, shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the
following amendment to the Declaration of Trust.
"ARTICLE 10. SECURITY CAPITAL TRANSACTION
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including,
without limitation, the provisions of Article 1 and Article 4 of this
Declaration of Trust, the Trust shall be authorized to perform all of its
obligations and exercise all of its rights under the terms of that certain
Merger and Issuance Agreement, dated as of March 24, 1997, as amended (the
"Merger Agreement"), between the Trust and Security Capital Group Incorporated
and each of the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby,
including, without limitation, the following agreements (as each of such
agreements are defined in the Merger Agreement) and the transactions
contemplated by such agreements: (i) Agreement and Plan of Merger; (ii) Third
Amended and Restated Investor Agreement; (iii) Administrative Services
Agreement; (iv) Protection of Business Agreement; and (v) License Agreement."
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO
AMEND THE DECLARATION OF TRUST. The affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Common Shares is required to approve and adopt
this proposal.
42
<PAGE>
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
(PROPOSAL 3)
General
The Board of Trustees has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 1997
Incentive Plan which contains the following terms and conditions. A copy of
the 1997 Incentive Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus as
Annex II and is incorporated herein by reference. The number of Common Shares
which may be awarded under the 1997 Incentive Plan may not exceed 9,600,000
Common Shares in the aggregate and no individual may be granted awards with
respect to more than 500,000 Common Shares in any one-year period. Common
Shares issued under the 1997 Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued
shares, or treasury shares. In the event of certain transactions affecting the
type or number of outstanding shares, the number of shares subject to the 1997
Incentive Plan, the number or type of shares subject to outstanding awards and
the exercise price thereof will be appropriately adjusted. The 1997 Incentive
Plan authorizes the establishment of one or more option programs and share
purchase programs and authorizes the award of share grants (any of which may
be subject to restrictions). All employees of SCI or any of its affiliates are
eligible to participate in the 1997 Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee
of the Board of Trustees of SCI (the "Compensation Committee") will administer
the 1997 Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the 1997 Incentive Plan, the
Compensation Committee determines which employees shall be eligible to receive
awards under the 1997 Incentive Plan, and the amount, price, timing and other
terms and conditions applicable to such awards. Non-employee trustees of SCI
are not eligible to participate in the 1997 Incentive Plan.
Options awarded under the 1997 Incentive Plan may be either incentive share
options which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code, or non-qualified share options which are not intended to satisfy Section
422 of the Code. Options become exercisable in accordance with the terms
established by the Compensation Committee, which may include conditions
relating to completion of a specified period of service or achievement of
performance standards or such other criteria as the Compensation Committee
deems appropriate. Options expire on the date determined by the Compensation
Committee which shall not be later than the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth
anniversary of the grant date, (ii) the first anniversary of the participant's
termination of employment by reason of death, disability or retirement or
(iii) the three month anniversary of the participant's termination of
employment for any other reason. Shares transferred to a participant pursuant
to the exercise of an option may be subject to such additional restrictions or
limitations as the Compensation Committee may determine. The 1997 Incentive
Plan provides generally that participants who are awarded options will also
receive dividend equivalent units with respect to the options. The dividend
equivalent units will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the options
and will be payable when the options are exercised, unless the participant
elects to defer receipt, or expire. Generally, each participant will be
credited with dividend equivalent units at the end of each calendar year in an
amount equal to (i) the average dividend yield during such year with respect
to a Common Share that is in excess of the S&P 500 average dividend yield for
such year, multiplied by (ii) the number of Common Shares underlying the
participant's outstanding options that were granted with dividend equivalent
units. Each dividend equivalent unit also accumulates additional dividend
equivalent units on an annual basis. All dividend equivalent units are paid in
the form of Common Shares at the rate of one Common Share per dividend
equivalent unit.
The 1997 Incentive Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may award
participants performance stock, the distribution of which is subject to
achievement of performance objectives. The number of shares and the
performance measures and periods shall be established by the Compensation
Committee at the time the award is made, provided that any performance period
shall be at least one year.
Non-Qualified Options
The Compensation Committee may grant non-qualified options to acquire Common
Shares. Concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction, the Named
Executive Officers and certain other officers of SCI will be granted options
to purchase Common Shares at the closing price of Common Shares on the date
the 1997 Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders. The options will become
exercisable 25% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and an
additional 25% on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the
date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The participants
have no rights as shareholders with respect to the
43
<PAGE>
shares subject to his or her options until the option is exercised. No income
will be recognized by a participant at the time the options or the dividend
equivalent units are granted. The exercise of a non-qualified stock option is
generally a taxable event that requires the participant to recognize, as
ordinary income, the difference between the fair market value of the shares at
the time of exercise and the option price. Receipt of a dividend equivalent
unit by the participant is generally a taxable event that requires the
participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the fair market value of the
shares at the time of receipt. SCI ordinarily will be entitled to claim a
federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of a non-qualified
option and payment of dividend equivalent units. The amount of the deduction
is equal to the ordinary income recognized by a participant. SCI has adopted
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS
No. 123") "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." Under the provisions of
this statement, SCI will continue to account for its share options under the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Share Purchase Program
Concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction, SCI will permit the
Named Executive Officers and certain other officers and employees to purchase
up to a total of $31,050,000 of Common Shares at the closing price of the
Common Shares on the date the 1997 Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders
with two matching options for each share purchased. Each matching option shall
have an exercise price equal to the closing price of a Common Share on the
date the 1997 Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders. No dividend
equivalent units will be issued with respect to such matching options. The
share purchases are expected to provide for a one-year restricted period
during which the participants may not, while employed, sell the purchased
shares. If a participant leaves the employ of SCI prior to the end of the
restricted period, SCI has the right to repurchase the shares at the fair
market value of such shares at the time the participant's employment is
terminated. At the end of the restricted period, the participant will own the
shares without further restriction. However, if the participant sells the
restricted shares after the end of the restricted period, the participant's
matching options may be adversely affected. SCI will make loans for up to 95%
of the purchase price available to participants. Each loan will be fully
recourse to the participant and be secured by the purchased shares. Each loan
will have a 10 year term and have an interest rate which is equal to the lower
of 6% or the dividend yield of a Common Share, determined based on the
purchase date fair market value of a Common Share. The loan will become due
and payable (i) immediately upon sale of the purchased shares or SCI's
termination of the participant's employment for cause, (ii) 90 days following
the participant's termination of employment with SCI for any reason other than
death, disability, retirement or following a change in control of SCI, (iii)
180 days following SCI's termination of the participant's employment following
a change in control or (iv) 365 days following the participant's termination
of employment with SCI by reason of death, disability or retirement.

anniversary of the date of grant and an additional 25% on each of the third,

later than the earliest to occur of the tenth anniversary of the grant date,
the first anniversary of the participant's termination of employment by reason
of death, disability or retirement or the three month anniversary of the
participant's termination of employment for any other reason. In addition, all

will continue to hold such options after the Merger. Such options will continue
to vest and be exercisable by such officers in accordance with the existing
vesting schedule. If any officer leaves the employ of SCI, such options will
cease to vest and, if vested, must be exercised within the periods described
above.
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO
APPROVE THE 1997 INCENTIVE PLAN. Assuming the presence of a quorum, the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the
Special Meeting is required to approve this proposal.
THE SPECIAL MEETING
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
At the Special Meeting, the holders of Common Shares will be asked to (i)
consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and
the Transaction, (ii) consider and vote upon the amendment to the Declaration
of Trust necessary to consummate the Transaction and (iii) consider and vote
upon the approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan. A copy of the Merger Agreement is
attached hereto as Annex I, a copy of the 1997 Incentive Plan is attached
hereto as Annex II and a copy of the Security Capital Prospectus is attached
hereto as Appendix A, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
DATE, TIME AND PLACE; RECORD DATE
The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held at a.m., local time, on
, , 1997, at . The Board of Trustees has fixed
the close of business on , 1997 as the record date for the
determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to notice of and to vote at
the Special Meeting. On June 6, 1997, there were 97,760,596 Common Shares
outstanding and SCI had approximately 1,030 record holders. As of June 6, 1997,
Security Capital and SCI's trustees and executive officers beneficially owned
an aggregate of 43,472,319 Common Shares or approximately 44% of the
outstanding Common Shares. Security Capital has agreed, subject to certain
conditions, and each of such other persons has indicated his or her intent, to
vote his or her Common Shares in favor of the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction as well as in favor of the amendment to the Declaration of Trust
and the approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Declaration of Trust provides that any amendments require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares. Because an amendment of
the Declaration of Trust is required to consummate the
45
<PAGE>
Transaction, the Board of Trustees has also conditioned the Transaction on the
approval by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common
Shares. Therefore, assuming the existence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Shares is
required to approve the Merger Agreement and the Transaction and the amendment
to the Declaration of Trust. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast at the Special Meeting is required to approve the 1997 Incentive Plan.
Holders of record of Common Shares on the SCI Record Date are entitled to one
vote per Common Share at the Special Meeting. The presence, either in person
or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Shares is
necessary to constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting.
If a shareholder attends the Special Meeting, he or she may vote by ballot.
However, since many shareholders may be unable to attend the Special Meeting,
the Board of Trustees is soliciting proxies so that each holder of Common
Shares on the SCI Record Date has the opportunity to vote on the proposals to
be considered at the Special Meeting. When a proxy card is returned properly
signed and dated, the Common Shares represented thereby will be voted in
accordance with the instructions on the proxy card. If a shareholder does not
return a signed proxy card, his or her Common Shares will not be voted and
thus will have the effect of a vote against the amendment to the Declaration
of Trust and the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, but will have no effect
on the proposal to approve the 1997 Incentive Plan. Similarly, broker non-
votes and abstentions have the effect of a vote against the amendment to the
Declaration of Trust and the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, but will
have no effect on the proposal to approve the 1997 Incentive Plan.
Shareholders are urged to mark the box on the proxy card to indicate how their
Common Shares are to be voted. If a shareholder returns a signed proxy card,
but does not indicate how his or her Common Shares are to be voted, the Common
Shares represented by the proxy card will be voted "FOR" approval and adoption
of the amendment to the Declaration of Trust, for the Merger Agreement and the
Transaction and for the approval of the 1997 Incentive Plan. The proxy card
also confers discretionary authority on the individuals appointed by the Board
of Trustees and named on the proxy card to vote the Common Shares represented
thereby on any other matter that is properly presented for action at the
Special Meeting. Such discretionary authority will not be used to vote for
adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies
if the shareholder votes against any proposal.
Any SCI shareholder who executes and returns a proxy card may revoke such
proxy at any time before it is voted by (i) notifying in writing the Secretary
of SCI at 14100 East 35th Place, Aurora, Colorado 80011, (ii) granting a
subsequent proxy or (iii) appearing in person and voting at the Special
Meeting. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not in and of itself
constitute revocation of a proxy.
OTHER MATTERS
SCI is not aware of any business or matter other than those indicated above
which may be properly presented at the Special Meeting. If, however, any other
matter properly comes before the Special Meeting, the proxy holders will vote
thereon in their discretion.
INFORMATION CONCERNING SCI
REIT MANAGEMENT
The REIT Manager provides SCI with strategic and day-to-day management,
research, investment analysis, acquisition and due diligence, development,
marketing, asset management, capital markets, disposition of assets,
management information systems support and legal and accounting services, all
of which are included in the REIT management fee. Hence, SCI depends upon the
quality of the management provided by the REIT Manager. SCI currently has no
employees. SCI believes that its relationship with the REIT Manager provides
SCI with access to high quality and depth of management personnel and
resources, savings from a dedicated capital markets group, and access to
centralized research, information systems, accounting and legal support.
Security Capital, the owner of the REIT Manager, has a substantial
shareholder interest in SCI, creating commonality of interest with SCI's
shareholders, and the REIT Management Agreement requires approval of the
46
<PAGE>
independent trustees for transactions between SCI and the REIT Manager and its
affiliates. Furthermore, the REIT Manager provides all of its services for one
fee, and an affiliate provides property management services at or below market
rates in a competitive environment. The REIT Manager does not receive
additional fees for investment banking, financing or similar services.
SCI believes that the quality of management should be assessed in light of
the following factors:
Management Depth/Succession. SCI believes that management should have
several senior executives with the leadership, operational, investment and
financial skills and experience to oversee the entire operations of the REIT.
SCI believes that several of its senior officers could serve as the principal
executive officer and continue SCI's performance. See "--Directors, Trustees
and Officers of SCI and the REIT Manager" below.
Strategic Vision. SCI believes that management should have the strategic
vision to determine an investment focus which provides favorable initial
yields and long-term growth prospects. The REIT Manager has demonstrated its
strategic vision by focusing SCI on building a national and light
manufacturing distribution asset base at prices significantly below
replacement cost and a land inventory at attractive prices. In addition, the
REIT Manager differentiated SCI from its competition by positioning SCI,
through the SCI National Operating System(R), as the first national operating
company that was able to address and service a corporate customer's
distribution space requirements on a national, regional and local basis. The
REIT Manager also focuses SCI on selected distribution markets where
demographic and supply factors have permitted high occupancies at increasing
rents, conditions which are consistent with the long term demographic forecast
for SCI's target market cities.
Research Capability. SCI believes that management should have the means for
researching markets to determine appropriate investment opportunities. SCI
divides its target market cities into numerous submarkets for analysis
purposes. The REIT Manager and its affiliate, Security Capital Investment
Research Incorporated ("Security Capital Investment Research"), devote
substantial time to research, on a submarket-by-submarket basis, under the
supervision of the Managing Directors of the REIT Manager; hence, the REIT
Manager's research has supplemented SCI's strategic focus and investment
program.
Investment Committee Process. SCI believes that investment committees should
provide discipline and guidance to the investment activities of the REIT in
order to achieve its investment goals. The members of the REIT Manager's
investment committee have a combined 164 years experience in the real estate
industry. See "--Directors, Trustees and Officers of SCI and the REIT Manager"
below. The investment committee receives detailed written analyses and
research, in a standardized format, from the REIT Manager's acquisition
personnel and evaluates all prospective investments pursuant to uniform
underwriting criteria prior to submission of investment recommendations to the
investment committee of the Board of Trustees. The quality of the REIT
Manager's investment committee process is evident from the ability of SCI to
achieve its investment goals, generally realizing its projected initial
returns and growth from distribution property investments.
Acquisitions Capability/Due Diligence Process. SCI believes that management
should have experienced senior personnel dedicated to acquiring investments
and performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT Manager has 13
full time acquisition and due diligence professionals and has developed
uniform systems and procedures for due diligence. The REIT Manager's
acquisition and due diligence personnel have screened and selected a large
volume of successful investments.
Development Capability. SCI believes that by internally developing projects,
management can capture for the REIT the value which normally escapes through
sales premiums paid to successful developers. The REIT Manager's 45
development professionals have substantial development and redevelopment
experience, as described in "--Directors, Trustees and Officers of SCI and the
REIT Manager" below. As of May 31, 1997, the REIT Manager was developing 6.0
million square feet of distribution space for SCI, with a total budgeted cost
of $223.4 million. The REIT Manager has engaged in substantial development on
behalf of SCI at attractive yields which have exceeded projections and
believes that development will provide growth when the market for
47
<PAGE>
acquisitions becomes less favorable. The REIT Manager has commenced
development on behalf of SCI of 66 master-planned parks in 32 target market
cities. As importantly, as of May 31, 1997, SCI owned 1,390 acres of
additional land and had fixed price options and rights of first refusal to
acquire 515 acres and 36 acres, respectively, which in the aggregate will
permit the development of approximately 34.2 million square feet of additional
distribution space in 33 target cities. Also, as of May 31, 1997, SCI had an
additional 662 acres under letter of intent or contingent contract, subject to
completion of due diligence, which will permit the development of
approximately 9.6 million square feet of additional distribution space.
Capital Markets Capability. SCI believes that management must be able to
effectively raise equity and debt capital for the REIT in order for the REIT
to achieve growth through investment. The REIT Manager has successfully
arranged funding for SCI's investment program, including SCI's initial public
offering in March 1994, following which SCI commenced trading on the NYSE.
Operating Capability. SCI believes that management can substantially improve
Funds from Operations by actively and effectively managing assets. The REIT
Manager conceived of and developed the SCI National Operating System(R) to
effectively operate SCI's business and provide customers with an exceptional
level of coordinated, comprehensive services. In addition, the Property
Manager provides a high level of property management services to customers.
Through the SCI National Operating System(R), the REIT Manager controls and
effectively administers the management of SCI's distribution portfolio.
Communications/Shareholder Relations Capability. SCI believes that a REIT's
success in capital markets and asset acquisition activities can be enhanced by
management's ability to effectively communicate the REIT's strategy and
performance to investors, sellers of property and the financial media. The
REIT Manager provides at its expense full time personnel who prepare
informational materials for and conduct periodic meetings with the investment
community and analysts.
SCI believes that successfully combining the foregoing attributes
significantly enhances a REIT's ability to increase cash flow and its market
valuation. SCI's cash flow from operating activities and market valuation have
increased under the REIT Manager's administration.

SCI POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
The following policies are in effect for SCI and the REIT Manager. These
policies will continue in effect after the consummation of the Transaction. To
the extent these policies refer to the REIT Manager, they will be changed to
include SCI or eliminated as appropriate.
58
<PAGE>
Subject to the restrictions in the Declaration of Trust, the Board of
Trustees reserves the right to make exceptions to SCI's policies described
below for transactions when it believes that the transaction is in the best
long-term interests of SCI and its shareholders. Subject to the restrictions
in the Declaration of Trust, the Board of Trustees may amend or revise SCI's
policies from time to time without a vote of shareholders of SCI.
Investment Policies. SCI evaluates investments based on its estimate of the
contribution of an investment to increased cash flow, without regard to
effects of leveraging the property or residual values. SCI's investment
strategy is to build through acquisition and development a network of
distribution facilities with prospects for long-term cash flow growth in
selected target markets. As a result, SCI targets investments in cities, both
domestic and international, which are either major import/export centers,
regional distribution centers (due to their proximity to large population
centers) or low-cost manufacturing growth areas. SCI's strategy includes the
development of full service master-planned distribution parks in order to meet
demand for space of existing customers and potential customers.
The Declaration of Trust contains limitations on SCI's ability to make
certain investments and it is SCI's policy that (i) no more than 25% of its
total assets be invested in unimproved real property, excluding property which
is being developed or will be developed within a reasonable period (however,
consistent with SCI's strategy of long term growth in operating results and
quarterly distributions to shareholders, the Board of Trustees' current policy
is to limit land held for development to 10% of SCI's assets), (ii) SCI will
make investments in such a way that it will not be treated as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and (iii) SCI will not invest
in mortgage loans, other than mortgage loans (convertible, participating or
otherwise) where the Board of Trustees believes that such loans are in the
best long-term interests of SCI and its shareholders or mortgage loans to
entities in which SCI has a major share of the economic interest such as SCI
Development Services Incorporated.
Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests
necessary for REIT qualification, SCI may also invest in securities of other
entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers. SCI
does not intend to invest in the securities of other issuers except (i) in
connection with acquisitions of indirect interests in properties (normally,
general or limited partnership interests in special purpose partnerships
controlled by SCI and owning distribution properties), (ii) in preferred stock
of entities in which it has a majority economic interest, such as SCI
Development Services Incorporated, (iii) in qualified REIT subsidiaries and
(iv) in securities of companies which are expected to complement SCI's
business activities consistent with SCI's qualification as a REIT.
Financing Policies. SCI intends to limit to approximately 50% the ratio of
total debt to total book capitalization (including total debt) plus
accumulated depreciation. Nevertheless, the Declaration of Trust provides that
aggregate borrowing of SCI, secured and unsecured, shall not be unreasonable
in relation to the net assets of SCI and shall be reviewed by the Trustees at
least quarterly. The Declaration of Trust provides that the maximum amount of
such borrowing in relation to the net assets shall, in the absence of a
satisfactory showing that a higher level of borrowing is appropriate, not
exceed 300%. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% level shall be approved by
a majority of the Independent Trustees (as defined below) and disclosed to
shareholders in the next quarterly report of SCI, along with justification for
such excess. The term "net assets" means the total assets (other than
intangibles) at cost, before deducting depreciation or other non-cash
reserves, less total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis
consistently applied.
SCI utilizes an unsecured revolving line of credit for the purpose of
facilitating investments in developments and acquisitions as well as for
working capital. SCI may also determine to issue Common Shares, preferred
shares and debt securities. Because its assets are largely long term, SCI's
debt generally will be long term, fixed rate and fully amortizing.
Policies With Respect to Operating Expenses. Total Operating Expenses (as
defined below) of SCI shall (in the absence of a satisfactory showing to the
contrary) not exceed in any fiscal year the greater of: (a) 2% of the
59
<PAGE>
average of the aggregate book value of the assets of SCI invested, directly or
indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by real estate, before
reserves for depreciation or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves,
computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during
such period; or (b) 25% of the Net Income of SCI for such year. "Net Income"
shall mean total revenues applicable to such year, less the expenses
applicable to such year other than additions to reserves for depreciation or
bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves. "Total Operating Expenses" shall
mean all operating, general and administrative expenses of SCI as determined
under GAAP except the expenses of raising capital, interest payments, taxes,
non-cash expenditures and costs related directly to asset acquisition,
operation and disposition. The Independent Trustees shall have the fiduciary
responsibility of limiting such expenses to amounts that do not exceed such
limitations unless such Independent Trustees shall have made a finding that,
based on such unusual and non-recurring factors which they deem sufficient, a
higher level of expenses is justified for such year. Any such findings and the
reasons in support thereof shall be reflected in the minutes of the meeting of
the trustees. "Independent Trustee" means a trustee who (i) is not affiliated,
directly or indirectly, with the REIT Manager, whether by ownership of,
ownership interest in, employment by, any material business or professional
relationship with, or service as an officer or director of, the REIT Manager
or a business entity which is an affiliate of the REIT Manager, (ii) is not
serving as a trustee or director for more than three real estate investment
trusts organized by a sponsor of SCI and (iii) performs no other services for
SCI, except as trustee.
Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter of SCI for which Total
Operating Expenses (for the 12 months then ended) exceeded 2% of average
invested assets (as calculated above) or 25% of Net Income, whichever is
greater, there shall be sent to the shareholders of SCI a written disclosure
of such fact, together with an explanation of the facts the Independent
Trustees considered in arriving at the conclusion that such higher operating
expenses were justified. In the event that the Independent Trustees do not
determine such excess expenses are justified, the REIT Manager shall reimburse
SCI for the amount by which the aggregate annual expenses paid or incurred by
SCI exceeded the limitations herein provided.
SCI has not established any limit on the number or amount of mortgages that
may be placed on any single property or on its portfolio as a whole.
Conflict of Interest Policies. SCI does not intend to engage in principal
transactions with officers and trustees or to engage Independent Trustees to
provide services to SCI. In addition, transactions with the REIT Manager are
significantly restricted, as described below. All affiliate transactions must
be approved by a majority of Independent Trustees. SCI's policy is not to
borrow from or make loans to affiliates, other than entities in which SCI has
a major share of the economic interest or where the Board of Trustees
determines that such transaction is in the best long-term interests of SCI and
its shareholders.
With a view to resolving potential conflicts of interest and protecting the
interests of SCI's shareholders against such possible conflicts, the
Declaration of Trust requires that a majority of the Board of Trustees be
unaffiliated with the REIT Manager or its affiliates. SCI's Independent
Trustees are required to monitor the performance of the REIT Manager.
Policies Applicable to the REIT Manager and Officers and Trustees of SCI.
The REIT Manager has agreed in writing not to engage in any principal
transaction with SCI, including but not limited to purchases, sales or leases
of property or borrowing or lending of funds, except for transactions approved
by a majority of the Independent Trustees not otherwise interested in such
transaction as being fair and reasonable to SCI and on terms and conditions
not less favorable to SCI than those available from unaffiliated third
parties. The Declaration of Trust prohibits SCI from purchasing property from
a sponsor, the REIT Manager, a trustee or affiliates thereof. The Declaration
of Trust further provides that SCI shall not enter into any other principal
transaction (including without limitation the sale of property, the making of
loans, borrowing money, or investing in joint ventures) with the sponsor, the
REIT Manager, a trustee or affiliates thereof, except for emergency loans
approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees not otherwise interested in
such transaction as being fair and reasonable to SCI and on terms and
conditions not less favorable to SCI than those available from unaffiliated
third parties. The sole activity of the REIT Manager is advising SCI.
60
<PAGE>
The REIT Management Agreement permits affiliates of the REIT Manager to
provide property management and other services to SCI for compensation. The
fees charged for such services must be comparable to, or less than, fees that
would be charged by unaffiliated, qualified third parties for the same level
of service. Any property management fees and other services are reviewed
annually by the Board of Trustees.
SCI does not intend to issue options or warrants to the REIT Manager or its
employees; however, in the event that SCI becomes an internally managed REIT,
SCI intends to adopt employee incentive plans under which options will be
granted to employees, subject to Board of Trustees and shareholder approval.
Upon the formation of SCI's predecessor, warrants to acquire 33,610 Common
Shares (11,764 warrants remain outstanding currently), at an exercise price of
$10.00 per Common Share, were issued to two of its initial employees, who
contributed properties to it. The Declaration of Trust limits options or
warrants issuable to the trustees and the REIT Manager (if SCI's policy
changes), or any of their affiliates to no more than 10% of the outstanding
Common Shares of SCI on the date of grant of any options or warrants.
Under Maryland law (where SCI is organized), each trustee will be obligated
to offer to SCI any opportunity (with certain limited exceptions) which comes
to him and which SCI could reasonably be expected to have an interest in
developing. In addition, under Maryland law, any contract or transaction
between SCI and any trustee or any entity in which the trustee has a material
financial interest will be voidable unless (i) it is approved, after
disclosure of the interest, by the affirmative vote of a majority of
disinterested trustees or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast by disinterested shareholders, or (ii) it is fair and reasonable to SCI.
Policies with Respect to Other Activities. SCI may, but does not presently
intend to, make investments other than as previously described. SCI has
authority to issue senior securities, to offer its Common Shares or other
securities and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire its Common Shares or any
other securities and may engage in such activities in the future. Except for
loans made to entities in which it has a major share of the economic interest,
SCI has not made loans to other entities other than working capital lines of
credit totalling $1,000,000 in borrowing availability, made as part of a major
portfolio acquisition for the development of certain properties on which SCI
has purchase options. These loans were made on an arm's-length basis to
entities controlled by third parties who subsequently were hired as officers
of the REIT Manager. SCI may in the future make loans to partnerships and
joint ventures in which it participates in order to meet working capital needs
and for acquisition and development and to entities in which it has a major
share of the economic interest. SCI has not engaged in trading, underwriting
or agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers and does not
intend to do so. SCI does not intend to engage in the purchase or sale of
investments (other than acquisition or disposition of properties in accordance
with the REIT rules and SCI's investment policies) and may on a selected basis
in the future offer securities in exchange for properties. SCI intends to make
annual and quarterly reports to shareholders. The annual reports will contain
audited financial statements.
At all times, SCI intends to make investments in such a manner as to be
consistent with the requirements of Maryland law and the Code for SCI to
qualify as a REIT, unless, because of changing circumstances or changes in
Maryland law or the Code (or in Treasury Regulations), the Board of Trustees
determines that it is no longer in the best interests of SCI to qualify as a
REIT.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of SCI as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996, and the related schedule, have been incorporated by reference herein and
in the Registration Statement in reliance upon the reports of Arthur Andersen
LLP, independent certified public accountants. Such financial statements have
been incorporated by reference herein upon the authority of said firm as
experts in accounting and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited interim financial statements of SCI for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, incorporated in this Proxy
Statement and Prospectus, Arthur Andersen LLP has reported that
61
<PAGE>
it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for
a review of such information. However, its report states that it did not audit
and it does not express an opinion on that interim financial information.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be
restricted considering the limited nature of the review procedures applied.
Arthur Andersen LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of
the Securities Act for its report on the unaudited interim financial
information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the
Registration Statement prepared or certified by Arthur Andersen LLP within the
meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.
EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION
SCI will pay the expenses in connection with the filing, printing and
distribution of this Proxy Statement and Security Capital will pay the expenses
in connection with the filing, printing and distribution of the Security
Capital Prospectus. The costs of solicitation of proxies from SCI shareholders
will be borne by SCI. SCI will reimburse brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and
other nominees for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending this
Proxy Statement and Prospectus and other proxy materials to, and obtaining
instructions relating to such materials from, beneficial owners of stock. SCI
shareholder proxies may be solicited by trustees or officers of SCI in person,
by letter or by telephone or telegram. In addition, SCI has retained Georgeson
& Company, New York, New York, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. It is
estimated that its fees for services to SCI will not exceed $10,000 in the
aggregate plus expenses.
SCI will also reimburse custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding
proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of their stock in
accordance with regulations of the Commission and the NYSE.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any proposal by a shareholder intended to be presented at the 1998 annual
meeting of shareholders must be received by SCI at its principal executive
offices located at 14100 East 35th Place, Aurora, Colorado 80011 not later than
January 2, 1998 for inclusion in SCI's proxy statement and form of proxy
relating to SCI's 1998 annual meeting of shareholders.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements for
SCI reflect the Merger pursuant to which SCI will acquire its REIT Manager and
Property Manager currently owned by Security Capital, in exchange for SCI
Common Shares. The Merger, if approved by a majority of SCI's common
shareholders, will result in SCI becoming an internally managed REIT. The
Merger does not meet the significance tests of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that require pro forma financial statements and financial
statements of the acquired companies. However, pro forma financial statements
have been included because management believes that presenting the pro forma
effects of the Merger will help shareholders evaluate and understand the
Merger.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements also reflect the
acquisition by SCI of certain properties acquired between January 1, 1996 and
August 15, 1996. This is the group of properties previously included in SCI's
8-K filed August 20, 1996.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
based upon certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial
statements of SCI.
The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March
31, 1997 has been prepared as if the Merger had been completed as of that
date. The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and for the year ended
December 31, 1996 have been prepared as if the Merger and acquisition of
properties between January 1, 1996 and August 15, 1996 had occurred on January
1, 1996. However, it does not give effect to the fully stabilized results of
operations related to SCI properties under development at March 31, 1997 with
a total budgeted completion cost of $262.8 million or to 1996 development
completions with a total budgeted cost of $379.2 million. Management believes
there will be sufficient depth of management and personnel such that
additional assets can be acquired, developed and managed without a significant
increase in personnel or other costs. As a result, management of SCI believes
that the pro forma results reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated
statements of operations are not indicative of the accretion that is expected
to occur under an internally managed structure.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to
be indicative of the financial position or results of operations which would
actually have been obtained had the transactions described above been
completed on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future. The
pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of SCI as set forth in
SCI's 1996 Form 10-K and March 31, 1997 Form 10-Q which are incorporated
herein by reference. In management's opinion, all material adjustments
necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.

Manager and the Property Manager for which SCI will reimburse Security
Capital, as more fully discussed in note (f).
(d) Reflects (i) the adjustments to Common Shares and additional paid-in

Since the intent of the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated
statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996 is to reflect the
expected continuing impact of the Merger on SCI, the one-time adjustment
discussed above has been excluded. Upon consummation of the Merger, this
expense will be recorded as an operating expense on SCI's consolidated
statement of operations but SCI will not deduct this expense for purposes of
calculating funds from operations, due to the non-recurring and non-cash
nature of the expense.
(f) In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, reflects the
amount due to Security Capital from SCI as reimbursement for the net
historical operating assets (as discussed in note (c)) acquired from the REIT
Manager and the Property Manager as of March 31, 1997.

expense on the pro forma acquisitions and SCI's property management fee
expense.
(j) Reflects pro forma depreciation expense adjustment for the acquired
operating properties for the period from January 1, 1996 to the respective
dates of acquisition based on SCI's purchase cost assuming a 30 year asset

have been utilized to finance acquisitions of the pro forma operating
properties. Interest was calculated using SCI's 1996 line of credit average
borrowing rate of 7.02%. Also reflects estimated interest expense on a $6.2
million mortgage note payable bearing interest at 9.75%, which SCI assumed
from the seller in conjunction with a property acquisition. Both components of

the current management structure, SCI pays a

expensed in accordance with GAAP since the

In connection with the Merger, it is expected that SCI will enter into a
proposed Administrative Services Agreement (ASA) with Security Capital. Under
the ASA, Security Capital will provide SCI with administrative services such
as payroll, accounts payable, cash management, risk management, internal
audit, tax and legal administration, systems development and systems support.
Such services are currently provided by Security Capital to SCI through the
REIT Manager and Property Manager. Based upon a review of the terms of the
agreement, it was determined that the costs that would have been incurred
under the ASA for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996 would not differ materially from the actual costs charged to
the REIT Manager and Property Manager by Security Capital during these periods
and therefore no pro forma adjustments are required.

(t) No tax benefit is reflected for the historical results of operations of
the REIT Manager and the Property Manager as these companies will be merged

not be subject to income taxes.
(u) Reflects the increase in weighted average Common Shares outstanding that
would result from the issuance of Common Shares in exchange for the common
stock of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager as if the Merger had
occurred on January 1, 1996. The number of shares shown is based on the
purchase price of $81.9 million at an assumed price per Common Share of
$22.25. This price represents the mid point of the pricing range set forth in
the Merger Agreement.
(v) Funds from operations represents SCI's net earnings computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from disposition of
depreciated real estate, minority interest, significant non-recurring items,
and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that an understanding
of funds from operations will

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
enhance the reader's comprehension of the impact of the Merger on SCI. The
impact of the Merger on SCI's funds from operations was a specific
consideration of SCI's Special Committee which was formed for purposes of
making a recommendation to SCI's Board of Trustees. Funds from operations
should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP
measurement of performance as an indicator of SCI's operating performance or
as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. Furthermore, the funds from operations
measure presented by SCI will not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other REITs who do not compute funds from operations in a manner consistent
with SCI.

WARRANTS TO PURCHASE
$250,000,000 OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK
(PAR VALUE $.01 PER SHARE)
This Prospectus of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital" or
the "Company") is being used in connection with the issuance (the "Warrant
Issuance") by Security Capital of an aggregate of $250 million of warrants (the
"Warrants"), each to purchase one share of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par
value per share, of Security Capital (the "Class B Shares"), to holders (the
"Securityholders") of (i) shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share
("ATLANTIC Common Shares"), of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated, a
Maryland corporation ("ATLANTIC"), (ii) common shares of beneficial interest,
$1.00 par value per share ("PTR Common Shares"), of Security Capital Pacific
Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("PTR"), and Cumulative
Convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $1.00 par value
per share (the "PTR Preferred Shares"), of PTR, and (iii) common shares of
beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("SCI Common Shares"), of
Security Capital Industrial Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust
("SCI"), Cumulative Convertible Series B Preferred Shares of Beneficial
Interest, $0.01 par value per share (the "SCI Preferred Shares"), of SCI and
limited partnership interests ("Units") in four partnerships in which SCI is
the general partner, which Units are exchangeable for SCI Common Shares, in
each case, other than Security Capital. Holders of ATLANTIC Common Shares will
receive an aggregate of approximately $46.9 million of Warrants, holders of PTR
Common Shares and PTR Preferred Shares will receive an aggregate of
approximately $102 million of Warrants and holders of SCI Common Shares, SCI
Preferred Shares and Units will receive an aggregate of approximately $101
million of Warrants.
The Warrant Issuance is being made by Security Capital as part of the
Transaction (as defined) pursuant to which, among other things, each of
ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI would become internally managed real estate investment
trusts ("REITs"). The aggregate number of Warrants that will be issued to
Securityholders of any particular REIT will be determined by dividing $46.9
million, $102 million and $101 million, in the case of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI,
respectively, by the exercise price of the Warrants. The actual number of
Warrants that will be issued to any particular Securityholder will depend on
both the price at which the Class B Shares are trading, and on the number of
ATLANTIC Common Shares, PTR Common Shares, SCI Common Shares, PTR Preferred
Shares, SCI Preferred Shares and Units (collectively, the "REIT Securities")
outstanding on the record date determined by the Board of Directors of Security
Capital (the "Warrant Issuance Record Date"). The exercise price of the
Warrants will be based on the closing price of the Class B Shares on the day
prior to the date the Warrants are issued (the "Warrant Issuance Date"), and
the Warrants will have a term of one year.
The Class B Shares and the Warrants have been approved for listing on the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbols "SCZ.B" and "SCZ WS",
respectively, subject to official notice of issuance. See "Risk Factors--No
Prior Market for Class B Shares or Warrants."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in
conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Concurrently with the Warrant Issuance,
Security Capital is conducting an initial public offering of $250 million in
aggregate amount of its Class B shares (the "Offering"). There can be no
assurance that the Offering will occur. Unless otherwise indicated, the
information contained in this Prospectus assumes approval by the shareholders
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI (each as defined below) of the proposed merger
transactions described below (see "Business--The Proposed Mergers"), but does
not give effect to the Offering.
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
Security Capital is a real estate research, investment and management
company. Management has assembled a superior team of operating and investment
professionals to implement the firm's strategy. Prior to the Warrant Issuance
and the Offering, Security Capital was owned primarily by directors, officers,
employees and 65 major domestic and foreign institutional investors.
Security Capital's strategy is to create the optimal organization to lead and
profit from global real estate securitization. Security Capital will implement
this strategy by:
. Providing leadership in real estate research conducted on a global basis.
Security Capital's proprietary research, which is available to Security
Capital's affiliates, provides a strong foundation for its capital
deployment strategy.
. Continuing to invest its capital in fully integrated, value-added
operating companies that have strong prospects for sustained growth.
Security Capital plans to utilize the results of its research to identify
opportunities in which it can invest its capital in the start-up of
highly focused, private operating companies with the objective of
becoming publicly traded and having the prospect of dominating their
respective niches. The Company currently is considering several new
business initiatives. See "Business--Future Strategy." In addition,
Security Capital will continue to make investments in public companies in
which it can provide strategic and operating guidance and capital and
thereby enable the companies to pursue an attractive growth strategy. See
"Business--Operating Strategy--Security Capital Strategic Group."
. Creating a global real estate securities management business.
Since its commencement of operations in 1991, Security Capital has
continually committed research and development capital to generate new start-
up, fully integrated real estate operating companies and new business services.
Based on such research and development activities, Security Capital has
established a range of real estate research, service and management businesses
and made a series of investments in Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"),
Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), Security Capital U.S. Realty ("Security Capital
USREALTY") and Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead"), each of which is
now publicly traded. Through May 31, 1997, Security Capital has invested an
aggregate of approximately $2.0 billion in the common shares of PTR, SCI,
ATLANTIC, Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead and warrants of Homestead.
Those securities had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.9 billion
(based on the closing price of those securities on the principal exchange on
which such securities are listed on May 31, 1997). As of June 6, 1997, Security
Capital owned approximately 35% of PTR, 51% of ATLANTIC, 64% of Homestead, 44%
of SCI and 32% of Security Capital USREALTY (based in each case on common
shares outstanding) and, pursuant to a series of investor agreements, advisory
agreements, board representation or other control rights, has significant
influence over the operations of each of these entities. As of May 31, 1997,
these five publicly traded real estate companies had a collective equity market
capitalization (assuming full conversion or exercise of convertible securities,
options and warrants) of approximately $8.2 billion. Security Capital USREALTY
has made strategic investments in three publicly traded companies, CarrAmerica
Realty Corporation ("CarrAmerica"), Storage USA, Inc. ("Storage USA") and
Regency Realty Corporation ("REGENCY"), and one private company, Pacific Retail
3
<PAGE>
Trust ("PACIFIC RETAIL"), which had a collective equity market capitalization
of approximately $4.1 billion as of May 31, 1997 (assuming contractual equity
commitments by investors have been funded, and full conversion or exercise of
convertible securities, options and warrants). For further information on the
Company's relationship to these publicly traded companies, see "Business--
Operating Strategy," "--Operating Companies Market Price Information and
Financial Performance" and "Relationships with Operating Companies."
Security Capital has several new business initiatives which recently became
operational, including Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated, Security Capital
Preferred Growth and Security Capital Employee REIT Fund, in which Security
Capital has initially committed to invest $200 million, $50 million and $100
million, respectively, and several other new business initiatives which are in
various stages of research and development. Security Capital USREALTY also has
several new business initiatives expected to be operational by the end of
1997. See "Business--Future Strategy." Security Capital believes that an
important component of its future growth will come from new business
initiatives and the implementation of new business strategies, although there
can be no assurance that current new business initiatives will be continued or
prove successful.

THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTIONS
Security Capital, through its affiliates, currently provides real estate
investment trust ("REIT") management and property management services to each
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. In December 1996, management of Security Capital
proposed to its Board that Security Capital exchange its REIT management
companies and property management companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR
and SCI, respectively. In January 1997, based upon the direction of the Board,
Security Capital proposed to the Board of Directors of ATLANTIC, and the Board
of Trustees of each of PTR and SCI, that each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI become
internally managed. On March 24, 1997, Security Capital and each of ATLANTIC,
PTR and SCI entered into Merger and Issuance Agreements (collectively, the
"Merger Agreements"), pursuant to which Security Capital will cause its
affiliates providing REIT management and property management services to each
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to be merged into newly formed subsidiaries of such
respective entities (the "Mergers") with the result that all personnel employed
in the REIT management and property management businesses would become officers
and employees of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively. In exchange for the
transfer of those businesses, Security Capital will receive $ of ATLANTIC's
shares of common stock, $ of PTR's common shares of beneficial interest and
$ of SCI's common shares of beneficial interest. Each Merger is subject to
approval of the shareholders of each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively,
and to various customary closing conditions.
THE RIGHTS OFFERINGS
In order to allow the common shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI,
respectively, to maintain their relative percentage ownership interests in each
of their companies, concurrently with proxy solicitations seeking approval of
the Mergers, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI will conduct a rights offering
entitling its common shareholders (other than Security Capital) to purchase
additional common shares. The rights offering price for each company will be at
a discount to the price at which common shares in each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI
will be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the respective Merger
Agreements.
THE WARRANT ISSUANCE
As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements, and to
permit the shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to benefit from the Mergers on
the same terms as Security Capital equity holders, Security Capital will issue
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of $250 million of Class B Shares to the
common equity holders (and holders of certain securities convertible into
common shares) of each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI (other than Security Capital)
after the closing of the Mergers (the "Warrant Issuance"). The number of Class
B Shares subject to the Warrants will be based on the market price of the Class
B Shares on a date within approximately 60 days following the closing of the
Mergers. The exercise price of the Warrants will be based on the market price
of the Class B Shares on a date to be established following completion of the
Offering, and the Warrants will have a term of one year. In the event that
there is no market price for the Class B Shares, the exercise price of the
Warrants will be the fair market value of the Class B Shares as determined in
good faith by the Board. See "Risk Factors--No Prior Market for Class B Shares
or Warrants."
THE OFFERING
Security Capital filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 29, 1997, relating to the offering of $250 million
in aggregate amount of Class B Shares ($287.5 million if the underwriters'
overallotment option is exercised in full). It is currently expected that the
Offering will occur in the third quarter of 1997, although there can be no
assurance that the Offering will occur.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Class B Shares involves certain risks including the
following: (i) recent underlying favorable conditions in the real estate
industry may not continue and Security Capital may not continue to grow at
rates similar to those which it has achieved in the past; (ii) there can be no
assurance that Security Capital will be successful in creating new businesses;
(iii) Security Capital is dependent on dividends, capital gains and management
and service fees from its operating companies to meet its operating needs and
to pay principal and interest on debt; (iv) Security Capital, through its
investees, is subject to general real estate investment risks; (v) there are
limitations on the shareholders' ability to change control of Security Capital;
and (vi) there has been no prior market for the Class B Shares. See "Risk
Factors."

(1) Prior to 1995, Security Capital consolidated the accounts of SCI and
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"). During 1995, Security
Capital's ownership of SCI decreased to less than 50% and PACIFIC was merged
into PTR. Accordingly, these entities were deconsolidated effective January 1,
1995.
(2) Security Capital resulted from the merger of two affiliated, but not
commonly controlled, entities on January 1, 1995 (the "1995 Merger"). See Note
1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this
Prospectus for more information concerning the 1995 Merger and the predecessor
entity.
(3) During 1994, Security Capital made a $757.50 per share distribution of the
2014 Convertible Debentures resulting in a total increase of $417.2 million in
outstanding 2014 Convertible Debentures.
(4) Security Capital does not guarantee the debt of any of its consolidated or
unconsolidated operating companies.
(5) On April 17, 1997, shareholders approved an amended and restated charter
which created Class A Shares and Class B Shares. All outstanding common shares
as of April 18, 1997 automatically became Class A Shares and all securities
convertible into or exchangeable for common shares became convertible into or
exchangeable for Class A Shares.
(6) For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, Security Capital
elected to be taxed as a REIT and made cash distributions to its shareholders.

RISK FACTORS
Holders of Warrants and Class B Shares should consider carefully the
information set forth below, as well as the other information set forth in
this Prospectus, the ATLANTIC Proxy Statement, the PTR Proxy Statement or the
SCI Proxy Statement, as applicable. This Prospectus contains, in addition to
historical information, forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Those statements appear in a number of places in this
Prospectus and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current
expectations of the Company, its Board of Directors (the "Board") or its
officers with respect to (i) future revenues, (ii) future performance of the
Company's businesses and (iii) future business initiatives of the Company. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those
discussed below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
PAST GROWTH RATE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS
Security Capital was started in 1991 and its early stages of development
occurred when it was an optimal time to purchase real estate. Over the five
and one-quarter year period ended March 31, 1997, Security Capital's book
value per share (after payment of convertible debt interest and preferred
stock dividends) increased at a compounded average growth rate of 11.01% per
year. There can be no assurance that underlying favorable conditions in the
real estate industry will continue or that, in the future, the stock price of
the Class A Shares or Class B Shares will increase, or the book value per
share will continue to grow, at rates similar to those which Security Capital
has achieved in the past.
UNCERTAINTIES RELATING TO CREATION OF NEW BUSINESSES
Since its inception, Security Capital has continually devoted substantial
resources to the creation of new businesses. Security Capital currently has
several new business initiatives which have recently become operational or are
in varying stages of research and development, and Security Capital USREALTY
also has several new business initiatives that are expected to be operational
by the end of 1997. These new business initiatives, to the extent they are
developed into new businesses, will be subject to all risks generally
associated with new business activities. These risks and their potential
effect on the Company, to the extent they are different from those described
in the Prospectus, cannot presently be determined and will only become known
as progress is made during the development of a specific new business
initiative. In addition, there can be no assurance that these new business
initiatives will be completed, or if completed, prove to be successful or
viable. See "Business--Future Strategy."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
Security Capital's success depends upon attracting and retaining the
services of executive officers, including C. Ronald Blankenship, William D.
Sanders and Thomas G. Wattles, who are members of the Operating Committee, as
well as several key senior officers, consisting of the following Managing
Directors: Jeffrey A. Cozad, John H. Gardner, W. Joseph Houlihan, Anthony R.
Manno, Jr., Todd W. Mansfield, Caroline S. McBride, Daniel F. Miranda, Mary
Lou Rogers, Donald E. Suter and Paul E. Szurek. Security Capital has
experienced individuals who manage its operating companies, including R. Scot
Sellers, President and Chief Executive Officer of PTR, Patrick R. Whelan,
Managing Director of PTR, K. Dane Brooksher and Irving F. Lyons, III, Co-
Chairmen of SCI, Constance B. Moore and James C. Potts, Co-Chairmen of
ATLANTIC, and Michael D. Cryan and David C. Dressler Jr., Co-Chairmen of
Homestead. Security Capital's success will depend, among other things, on its
ability to retain each of the foregoing individuals. Security Capital's
success also depends upon the ability of Security Capital's operating
companies and any new entities it creates to continue to recruit experienced
management. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel in the
real estate industry. Security Capital believes it has an effective succession
plan in place and that several of its officers could serve as Security
Capital's senior executive officers and continue Security Capital's
performance. The loss of any of these key personnel could have an adverse
effect on Security Capital.
RELIANCE ON DIVIDENDS AND TRANSFERS FROM OPERATING COMPANIES
Security Capital conducts all of its operations through its operating
companies and service businesses. As such, Security Capital is dependent on
dividends and fees from such entities to meet its operating expense needs
7
<PAGE>
and to pay principal and interest on debt, including borrowings under the
revolving line of credit of SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Security Capital which holds the Company's shares of PTR,
SCI, ATLANTIC, Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead and warrants to purchase
shares of Homestead. This revolving line of credit is secured by such
securities and is guaranteed by Security Capital. See "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Investing and
Financing Activities--Line of Credit." Although many of the Company's operating
companies are REITs, others are not and the Company's ability to obtain
dividends, fees or other funds from such operating companies depends on the
economic performance of such operating companies, the prior claims of creditors
or holders of preferred stock of such operating companies and the Company's
ability to control or cause such operating companies to make distributions or
such other payments.
LACK OF DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Security Capital is not a REIT and is not required to make distributions to
its common shareholders. Security Capital does not intend to pay dividends on
Class A Shares or Class B Shares in the foreseeable future.
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE
Security Capital has a substantial amount of leverage and will continue to
have a substantial amount of leverage after the Offering. As of March 31, 1997,
Security Capital had approximately $1.3 billion of consolidated outstanding
long-term indebtedness (of which $273 million represented indebtedness of
Security Capital's consolidated operating companies) and $295 million of
consolidated outstanding short-term indebtedness (all of which represented
indebtedness of Security Capital's consolidated operating companies). After
giving pro forma effect to the Offering as if it had occurred on March 31,
1997, Security Capital would have had an accumulated deficit of $202.4 million.
Of the $1.3 billion of consolidated outstanding long-term indebtedness,
approximately $1.1 billion consisted of the 2014 Convertible Debentures and the
Convertible Debentures due March 29, 2016 (the "2016 Convertible Debentures"
and together with the 2014 Convertible Debentures, the "Convertible
Debentures"), which are convertible at the option of the holders into Class A
Shares one year after the date of the Offering or upon redemption of the
Convertible Debentures. The current conversion prices for the Convertible
Debentures are below the Company's estimate of the fair market value per Class
A Share. If the Convertible Debentures were converted, the outstanding long-
term indebtedness would be reduced to approximately $273 million (all of which
would be indebtedness of Security Capital's consolidated operating companies).
Security Capital does not guarantee the debt of any of its consolidated or
unconsolidated operating companies. In addition, Security Capital's operating
companies have a substantial amount of indebtedness and, in certain cases, have
issued preferred stock to third parties.
In 1993, Security Capital, through SC Realty, entered into an $85 million
revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisers Funding, Incorporated
("Wells Fargo"), as agent for a syndicate of banks. Subsequently, this line of
credit was amended and the size of the facility was increased to $250 million
and $300 million in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The facility, which is
provided by a group of 11 banks, is effective through November 15, 1998 and had
an outstanding balance of $50 million as of May 31, 1997. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Investing and Financing Activities--Line of Credit."
Under SC Realty's line of credit, Security Capital (as guarantor) is not
permitted to incur or assume any indebtedness other than (i) indebtedness under
the SC Realty line of credit which is guaranteed by Security Capital, (ii)
existing convertible subordinated indebtedness, (iii) subordinated
indebtedness, (iv) indebtedness represented by declared but unpaid dividends,
(v) indebtedness secured by purchase money liens in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $10 million at any time outstanding, (vi) indebtedness owing to SC
Realty (limited to a maximum of $50 million), and (vii) other indebtedness in
an aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million at any time outstanding. In
addition, the terms and conditions of SC Realty's line of credit impose
restrictions that affect, among other things, the ability of Security Capital
to (i) create liens on assets, (ii) sell or otherwise transfer certain assets,
(iii) engage in mergers or consolidations, and (iv) pay dividends. Security
Capital is also required
8
<PAGE>
by the terms of its guaranty to comply with certain specified financial ratios
and tests, including (i) a minimum shareholders' equity of greater than $795
million; (ii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities of Security Capital to the
net worth of Security Capital plus the market value net worth of SC Realty of
1.75 to 1.00; and (iii) a maximum ratio of cash flow to mandatory interest
expense of 2.00 to 1.00. Security Capital's ability to comply with the
foregoing provisions may be affected by events beyond its control. Security
Capital's failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in a
default under the line of credit. At March 31, 1997, Security Capital was in
compliance with all covenants under the guaranty and SC Realty's line of
credit.
Based on Security Capital's current level of operations and anticipated
growth as a result of pending new business initiatives, Security Capital
expects that cash flows from operations (including dividends and fees received
from its operating companies), the proceeds of the Offering and the exercise of
Warrants and funds currently available under its $300 million revolving line of
credit will be sufficient to enable Security Capital to satisfy its anticipated
requirements for operating and investing activities for the next twelve months.
Security Capital intends to finance its long-term business activities
(including investments in new business initiatives) through the proceeds of the
Offering, borrowings under an expanded line of credit and the exercise of the
Warrants. In addition, the Company anticipates that its operating companies
will separately finance their activities through cash flow from operations,
sales of equity and debt securities and the incurrence of mortgage debt or line
of credit borrowings. The degree to which Security Capital is leveraged and to
which it is able to meet its financial obligations could affect its ability to
obtain additional financing in the future for refinancing indebtedness, working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments in new businesses,
general corporate purposes or other purposes.
LIMITATIONS ON ACQUISITION OF SHARES AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
Ownership Limit
Security Capital's 9.8% ownership limit, as well as the ability of Security
Capital to issue additional Class A Shares, Class B Shares or other classes or
series of stock (which may have rights and preferences senior to the Class B
Shares), may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
control of Security Capital without the consent of the Board even if a change
in control were in the shareholders' interests and may also (i) deter tender
offers for Class A Shares or Class B Shares, which offers may be advantageous
to shareholders and (ii) limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a
premium for their Class A Shares or Class B Shares that might otherwise exist
if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of Class A Shares or Class B
Shares in excess of 9.8% or otherwise effect a change in control of Security
Capital. See "Description of Capital Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of
Shares" for a description of this ownership restriction.
Shareholder Purchase Rights
On April 21, 1997, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each Share outstanding. Each Purchase
Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from
Security Capital, in the event the underlying share is a Class A Share, one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of
$6,000 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. In the event the underlying share is a Class B Share, the Purchase
Right entitles the registered holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase
from Security Capital one five-thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share of
Security Capital at a price of $120 per one five-thousandth of a Participating
Preferred Share. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or group of
persons (other than Security Capital USREALTY and other affiliates of Security
Capital) acquires 20% or more of the voting power of the voting equity
securities of Security Capital or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of
the voting power of the voting equity securities of Security Capital. Under
certain circumstances, each Purchase Right entitles the holder to purchase, at
the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of Class A Shares or
Class B Shares, as the case may be, having a market
9
<PAGE>
value of twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition of
Security Capital pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions
would entitle each holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current
exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a
market value at that time equal to twice the Purchase Right's exercise price.
The Purchase Rights held by the triggering 20% shareholders (other than
Security Capital USREALTY or other affiliates of Security Capital) would not
be exercisable.
The Purchase Rights may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing
a change in control of Security Capital without the consent of the Board even
if a change in control were in the shareholders' interests and may also
adversely affect the voting and other rights of shareholders. See "Description
of Capital Stock--Purchase Rights."
Classified Board; Preferred Stock; Advance Notice Provisions
The Board has been divided into three classes of directors. The terms of the
classes will expire in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. As the term of a
class expires, directors for that class will be elected for a three-year term
and the directors in the other two classes will continue in office. See
"Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Security Capital's Charter and
Bylaws--Classification of the Board."
Security Capital's amended and restated articles of incorporation (the
"Charter") authorizes the Board to reclassify any unissued shares of Security
Capital's stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption. See
"Description of Capital Stock--General" and "--Preferred Stock."
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, Security Capital's amended and
restated bylaws (the "Bylaws") require such shareholder to deliver a notice to
the Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more
than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to
nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to
such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
the election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); (ii) as to any other
business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the
reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest
in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the
notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or
proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such shareholder as it appears
on Security Capital's books and of such beneficial owner and (y) the number of
Shares which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such
beneficial owner, if any.
The classified Board, the issuance of preferred stock and the advance notice
provisions discussed in the preceding paragraphs each could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Security Capital even
if a change in control were in the shareholders' interests.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCE OF LIMITS ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
As noted above under "--Limitations on Acquisition of Shares and Change in
Control," the Charter restricts ownership of more than 9.8% of the number or
value of the outstanding Class A Shares or Class B Shares by any single
shareholder except Security Capital USREALTY. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may waive this restriction. Shares acquired in breach of the
limitation may be redeemed by Security Capital at the average daily closing
sales price per Class A Share or Class B Share, as applicable, during the 30-
day period ending on the business day prior to the redemption date. A transfer
of such Shares to a person who, as a result of the transfer, violates the
ownership limit may be void under some circumstances. See "Description of
Capital Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of Shares" for additional
information regarding the ownership limit.

<PAGE>
CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT
Security Capital is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), in reliance on exemptions provided
by Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Security Capital is
not required to register as an investment company because it is principally
engaged in the real estate business through companies that it primarily
controls. As of June 6, 1997, Security Capital owned approximately 35% of PTR,
51% of ATLANTIC, 64% of Homestead, 44% of SCI and 32% of Security Capital
USREALTY (based in each case on outstanding common shares at such date) and
which, together with certain investor agreements, advisory agreements, board
representation or other control rights, allows Security Capital to exert
significant influence over the operations of each of these entities. Security
Capital currently intends to exert similar influence over any other operating
company through which it makes future investments. However, to the extent
Security Capital does not elect to participate in future equity offerings by
its operating companies, its ownership interest in and control over such
companies could diminish, and the Company could potentially be required to
register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Security
Capital would be materially adversely affected if it were required to register
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
CERTAIN TAX RISKS RELATING TO STATUS OF SECURITY CAPITAL USREALTY
Security Capital USREALTY was organized in 1995 principally to own
significant strategic positions in leading value-added real estate operating
companies based in the United States. The Company has been advised by Security
Capital USREALTY that Security Capital USREALTY is not currently, and intends
to operate so as not to become, a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC")
or subject to the accumulated earnings tax for United States income tax
purposes. Characterization of Security Capital USREALTY as a PFIC could
potentially subject the Company to income tax on its pro rata share of the
undistributed income of Security Capital USREALTY. In addition, application of
the accumulated earnings tax to Security Capital USREALTY could potentially
subject Security Capital USREALTY to a 39.6% tax rate on its "accumulated
taxable income" for United States income tax purposes.
GENERAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS AFFECTING OPERATING COMPANIES
Although Security Capital owns no real estate, its operating companies, and
companies in which its affiliates may invest, own real estate. Real property
investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate cash flows and
values are affected by a number of factors, including changes in the general
economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of properties or a
reduction in rental demand in an area), the quality and philosophy of
management, competition from other available properties and the ability of the
owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control operating
costs. Real estate cash flows and values are also affected by such factors as
government regulations, including zoning and tax laws, interest rate levels,
the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in,
environmental and other laws. Since a significant portion of Security
Capital's operating companies' income is derived from rental income from real
property, their respective income and distributable cash flow would be
adversely affected if a significant number of tenants were unable to meet
their obligations, or if such operating companies were unable to lease
properties on economically favorable terms.
Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may
tend to limit the ability of Security Capital's operating companies to react
promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, certain
significant expenditures associated with equity investments (such as mortgage
payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced
when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments.
In addition, the market price of the Warrants and the Class B Shares may be
affected by the market prices of shares of Security Capital's real estate
operating companies, which in turn may be affected by risks generally
associated with investments in real estate, including risks associated with
acquisition and disposition of real estate assets, development or
redevelopment of properties and, in certain cases, risks generally associated
with investments in REITs.
11
<PAGE>
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE BUSINESSES
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate, including those that operate in the regions in which
Security Capital's operating companies' properties are located, that compete
with Security Capital's operating companies in seeking land for development,
properties for acquisition and disposition and tenants for properties.
Security Capital's operating companies compete on a regional and national
basis with no individual market material to Security Capital as a whole. All
of the operating companies' properties are located in developed areas that
include other similar properties. The number of competitive properties in a
particular area could have a material adverse effect on the operating
companies' ability to lease units and on the rents charged. In addition, other
forms of properties provide alternatives to tenants of the operating
companies' properties (for example, single family residential housing may be
an alternative to multifamily housing).
The global real estate securities management business of Security Capital
will compete for capital and investment opportunities with a large number of
investment management firms as well as certain insurance companies, commercial
banks and other financial institutions, some of which may have greater access
to capital and other resources and which may offer a wider range of services
than Security Capital. Real estate investment management firms can be formed
with relatively small amounts of capital and depend most significantly on the
continued involvement of their professional staff. The Company believes that
competition among real estate investment management firms is affected
principally by investment performance, development and implementation of
investment strategies, information technologies and databases and client
service performance.
NO PRIOR MARKET FOR CLASS B SHARES OR WARRANTS; SHARE PRICE FLUCTUATIONS
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Class B
Shares or the Warrants. There can be no assurance that an active trading
market will develop for the Class B Shares or the Warrants. From time to time,
the stock market experiences significant price and volume volatility, which
may affect the market price of the Class B Shares and the Warrants for reasons
unrelated to Security Capital's performance. In addition, the initial public
offering price may not accurately reflect the market price of the Class B
Shares.
If the Offering does not occur, the holders of Warrants will own securities
for which the underlying Class B Shares are not publicly traded. This may
cause the Warrants to be illiquid. If the Offering does not occur, the Company
will determine the exercise price for the underlying Class B Shares based on
the Board's determination of the fair market value of the Class B Shares.
POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON CLASS B SHARE PRICE OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE
SALE
Sales of a substantial number of Class B Shares, or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for
Class B Shares. After consummation of the Mergers, Security Capital is
expected to issue Warrants to purchase a total of $250 million of Class B
Shares (the number of such shares will be based on the price of the Class B
Shares on a date to be established following completion of the Offering),
which underlying Class B Shares may be sold by non-affiliates in the public
markets without limitation. Upon completion of the Offering, Security Capital
will have Class B Shares outstanding. All such shares may be sold by non-
affiliates in the public markets without limitation. In addition, upon
completion of the Offering, Security Capital expects to have 1,320,955 Class A
Shares outstanding, which will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a
total of 66,047,750 Class B Shares, and 139,000 shares of Series A Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock")
outstanding, convertible into a maximum of 105,896 Class A Shares. As of May
31, 1997, Security Capital also had outstanding (i) approximately $714 million
principal amount of its 2014 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an
aggregate of 682,293 Class A Shares, (ii) approximately $323 million principal
amount of its 2016 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of
279,941 Class A Shares, (iii) warrants to purchase 40,241 Class A Shares and
approximately $30 million principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures
(convertible into 29,142 Class A Shares) and (iv) options to purchase 114,684
Class A Shares and approximately $55 million principal amount of 2014
Convertible Debentures (convertible into 52,818 Class A Shares) under Security
Capital's employee benefit

plans. All such Class A Shares, and the Class B Shares into which they may be
converted, may be sold in the public markets in the future pursuant to
registration rights or available exemptions from registration. See "Shares
Available for Future Sale." No prediction can be made regarding the effect of
future sales of Class B Shares, Class A Shares or Warrants, or the conversion
of Class A Shares into Class B Shares, on the market price of Class B Shares
or Warrants.
IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
Security Capital, through certain of its operating companies, is subject to
environmental and health and safety laws and regulations related to the
ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real estate. Under such
laws and regulations, Security Capital may be liable for, among other things,
the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances, including
asbestos-related liability. Such laws and regulations often impose liability
without regard to fault.
As part of its due diligence procedures, Security Capital's operating
companies have conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each of their
respective properties prior to their acquisition; however, there can be no
assurance that such assessments have revealed all potential environmental
liabilities. Security Capital is not aware of any environmental condition on
any of its operating companies' properties which is likely to have a material
adverse effect on Security Capital's financial position or results of
operations; however, there can be no assurance that any such condition does
not exist or may not arise in the future.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The maximum net proceeds to Security Capital from the exercise of Warrants
offered hereby, after payment of all expenses of the Warrant Issuance, will be
a maximum of $250 million. The net proceeds will be used for the partial
repayment of outstanding indebtedness (approximately $ million), the
allocation of capital to new business (approximately $ million) and any
remaining amounts will be used for general corporate purposes.
At May 31, 1997, SC Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital,
had $50 million in outstanding borrowings under its $300 million revolving
line of credit with Wells Fargo. The weighted average interest rate on the
line of credit balance at May 31, 1997 was 7.1875%. Borrowings under the line
of credit bear interest, at SC Realty's option, at either (i) LIBOR plus a
margin of 1.50% or (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus a margin of
.50% or Wells Fargo's prime rate, with interest payable monthly in arrears.
The line of credit is guaranteed by Security Capital and is secured by its
shares in PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC, Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead, as well
as its warrants to acquire shares of Homestead. At May 31, 1997, the aggregate
market value of the securities pledged pursuant to the line of credit was
approximately $2.9 billion. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Investing and Financing
Activities--Line of Credit."
DIVIDEND POLICY
Security Capital is not a REIT and is not required to make distributions to
its common shareholders. The declaration and payment of dividends by Security
Capital is subject to the discretion of the Board. Any determination as to the
payment of dividends will depend upon the results of operations, capital
requirements and financial condition of Security Capital and such other
factors as the Board deems relevant. The Company believes that there currently
are substantial investment opportunities available to Security Capital and, as
a result, the Board intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings to
finance Security Capital's growth and for general corporate purposes.
Therefore, Security Capital does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on
the Class A Shares or the Class B Shares in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
Security Capital is a real estate research, investment and management
company. Management has assembled a superior team of operating and investment
professionals to implement the firm's strategy. Prior to the Warrant Issuance
and the Offering, Security Capital was owned primarily by directors, officers,
employees and 65 major domestic and foreign institutional investors.
Security Capital's strategy is to create the optimal organization to lead
and profit from global real estate securitization. Security Capital will
implement this strategy by:
. Providing leadership in real estate research conducted on a global basis.
Security Capital's proprietary research, which is available to Security
Capital's affiliates, provides a strong foundation for its capital
deployment strategy.
. Continuing to invest its capital in fully integrated, value-added
operating companies that have strong prospects for sustained growth.
Security Capital plans to utilize the results of its research to identify
opportunities in which it can invest its capital in the start-up of
highly focused, private operating companies with the objective of
becoming publicly traded and having the prospect of dominating their
respective niches. The Company currently is considering several new
business initiatives. See "--Future Strategy." In addition, Security
Capital will continue to make investments in public companies in which it
can provide strategic and operating guidance and capital and thereby
enable the companies to pursue an attractive growth strategy. See "--
Operating Strategy--Security Capital Strategic Group."
. Creating a global real estate securities management business.
The global real estate industry is in the early stages of a dramatic
transition from ownership in "passive hands" to becoming a securitized
industry with a more rational approach to capital allocation and operating
management. As public real estate investment enterprises become more
prevalent, a greater percentage of the industry's new capital is moving to
publicly traded, fully integrated, value-added operating companies.
Securitized holdings offer significant benefits to institutional and retail
investors, including enhanced liquidity, real-time pricing and the opportunity
for optimal growth and sustainable competitive rates of return.
Security Capital will deploy its capital (both its corporate and third-party
managed capital) in enterprises that emulate the operating characteristics of
the leading value-added operating companies in other highly competitive global
industries. As the shift toward securitization of real estate ownership leads
to a more rational system for deploying capital, the Company believes leading
real estate companies will commit significant dollars to research and
development to create value-added operating systems for application in
carefully selected, focused target markets. The Company believes leading real
estate companies will devote significant capital and energy to management
development programs, creating a strong corporate culture with succession
plans in place. The Company also believes leading real estate companies will
consider capital as a precious resource to be deployed utilizing evaluation
processes based on Economic Value-Added (EVA) or similar strategies. The shift
toward securitization creates unprecedented opportunities for Security Capital
and its operating companies. By building talented management teams, creating
fully integrated operating systems and implementing highly focused strategies,
the Company believes leading real estate companies can achieve sustainable
annualized rates of return which are very competitive with other growth
industries.
Through May 31, 1997, Security Capital has invested an aggregate of
approximately $2.0 billion in the common shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC,
Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead and in the warrants of Homestead.
Those securities had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.9 billion
(based on the closing price of those securities on the principal exchange on
which the securities are listed on May 31, 1997).
Security Capital is a Maryland corporation. Security Capital's and its
affiliates' principal business activities are carried out in offices located
in Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, Denver, El Paso, London, Luxembourg, New York
and Santa Fe.

RERG produces real estate research for both the Investment Research Group
and Strategic Group. Research plays a key role in the process of deploying
capital through the long- and short-term evaluation of supply and demand for
each real estate property type in targeted geographic markets. The evaluations
are based on economic, demographic and market factors as well as proprietary
demand and supply models.
RERG conducts an economic base analysis for every major metropolitan market
in the United States. Economic base analysis identifies the key industry
sectors which drive a market's economy by exporting goods or services outside
the area. By examining the stability and growth potential of these industries,
as well as the diversity of their mix, RERG assesses the risks and long-term
growth prospects for that particular market. The demand models created by RERG
for each property type incorporate demographic factors such as population,
household income, age, education, employment and housing characteristics for
an area as small as one-sixteenth of a square mile in certain markets. The
economic and demographic analyses are translated into an overall evaluation of
the demand prospects for each property type in each market.
On a short-term basis, RERG monitors real estate market conditions such as
occupancy and rent growth to forecast the near-term (one to two years)
demand/supply balance of each property type in the market.

Security Capital Investment Research Group (IRG)
IRG manages or advises capital invested in focused funds that seek to
maximize total return over an intermediate time horizon of up to 42 months.
IRG's principal focus is on publicly traded real estate companies that it
believes should outperform the market due to factors such as an emerging new
strategy or opportunity, imminent changes in supply and demand that would
affect asset performance, market inefficiencies that result in mispriced
securities or consolidation opportunities. IRG, through its focused funds,
will also commit capital to private start-up companies that have significant
prospects for sustained growth, that can utilize both strategic and operating
consulting and capital, and that have the prospect of becoming public
companies. IRG will generally take ownership positions ranging from .5% to
4.99% of the equity securities of its investees, except with respect to
Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated ("SC-PG"), in which case IRG
may take larger ownership positions.
IRG currently provides investment research and advice to Security Capital
(EU) Management S.A., the advisor to Security Capital USREALTY, in connection
with certain investments in publicly traded companies. In addition, IRG
currently manages Security Capital Employee REIT Fund ("SC-ERF") and SC-PG.
. Security Capital U.S. Realty: Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio.
Security Capital USREALTY identifies publicly traded companies with solid
growth prospects and invests, through a wholly owned subsidiary, to realize
attractive total returns through dividends and share price appreciation. As of
May 31, 1997, the Security Capital USREALTY Special Opportunity Investments
Portfolio had a fair market value of $308 million. For the period from
December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1997, the Security Capital USREALTY Special
Opportunity Investment Portfolio achieved a compound annual return of
approximately 57.9%, as measured in the manner required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for U.S. mutual funds, after the
deduction of fees and expenses. Compound annual return has been calculated
based on the following principal assumptions: (i) investments were made on the
dates Security Capital USREALTY Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio made
its investments, (ii) dividends or other distributions, if any, were
immediately reinvested and (iii) the per share value of the investments on
March 31, 1997 is represented by the closing sales price of the shares on such
date on the principal stock exchange on which such shares are listed. There
can be no assurance that a comparable rate of return may be obtained in the
future.
. Security Capital Employee REIT Fund (SC-ERF). As a matter of policy,
Security Capital employees are not permitted to invest in non-Security Capital
related real estate securities. Security Capital has committed to invest up to
$100 million into a fund known as SC-ERF that will invest in real estate
securities. SC-ERF, which became effective with the Commission in April 1997,
provides a vehicle through which employees, directors and trustees of Security
Capital and its affiliates, their families and approved 401(k) plans of
Security Capital and its affiliates can invest in real estate securities. SC-
ERF's long-term objective is to achieve top-quartile returns as compared with
other mutual funds that invest in securities of publicly traded real estate
companies in the United States. At May 31, 1997, Security Capital had invested
$96.2 million in SC-ERF.
. Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated (SC-PG). SC-PG is a private
real estate company formed in January 1997. SC-PG's objective is to make
intermediate-term investments in undervalued, high-potential real estate
operating companies primarily through convertible securities. These companies
would typically be in the second through fourth quartile of performance among
real estate operating companies. SC-PG seeks to provide these companies with
an opportunity for repositioning and growth by furnishing them with operating
guidance and access to capital. The management of SC-PG believes that these
types of investments will offer SC-PG an attractive dividend return and the
opportunity to participate in the value creation that may occur as the
companies in which it invests experience growth in cash flows and increases in
share prices. SC-PG has received commitments to purchase approximately $324.8
million of its common stock including Security Capital's commitment of $50
million.

common shares is multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on
such date for those companies listed on an exchange or, in the case of
PACIFIC RETAIL, the last private equity offering price. See "--Operating

(2) As of June 6, 1997, Security Capital's percentage ownerships in its
investees, based on common shares outstanding on such date, were 35% of
PTR, 51% of ATLANTIC, 64% of Homestead, 44% of SCI and 32% of Security

For further information with respect to (i) Security Capital's direct
ownership interests in PTR, ATLANTIC, Homestead, SCI and Security Capital
USREALTY, (ii) the historical high and low sale prices of the common shares for
such companies, as well as the cash dividends declared by such companies, (iii)
the average annual shareholder returns on investments in such companies, and
Security Capital's unrealized appreciation in its investment in the securities
of such companies, see "--Operating Companies Market Price Information and
Financial Performance" and "Relationships with Operating Companies."
For purposes of the following discussion, references to "compound annual
returns" for PTR, ATLANTIC, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY have been
calculated based on the following principal assumptions: (i) the beginning date
of the measurement period is the date on which Security Capital made its first
investment, (ii) the calculation includes only Security Capital's initial
investment, (iii) dividends received, if any, were immediately reinvested in
common shares and (iv) the per share value of the investment on March 31, 1997
is represented by the closing sales price of the shares on such date on the
principal stock exchange on which the shares are listed. There can be no
assurance that comparable rates of return may be obtained in the future by
Security Capital or other investors. In addition, references to "equity market
capitalization" for each of the companies listed below assumes contractual
equity commitments by investors have been funded, convertible instruments have
been converted into common shares and options and warrants for common shares
have been exercised. The resulting number of common shares is multiplied by the
closing price on such date of the common shares on the principal exchange on
which the shares are listed.
. Security Capital Pacific Trust (NYSE: PTR). PTR's objective is to be the
preeminent real estate operating company focused on the development,
acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily communities in
the growing markets of the western United States. PTR is focused on generating
long-term, sustainable growth in per share cash flow. PTR expects to achieve
long-term cash flow growth by maximizing the operating performance of its core
assets through value-added asset management and by executing a research-based
investment strategy that allows PTR to redeploy capital from existing assets
with limited growth prospects into targeted developments with optimal prospects
for growth. As of May 31, 1997, PTR's portfolio of multifamily communities
included 40,390 operating units, 5,588 units under construction and an
estimated 7,524 units in planning. In addition, PTR owns or controls land for
future development of an expected 4,102 additional units. PTR has committed to
fund certain mortgage loans for Homestead which are convertible into Homestead
common stock. Upon full funding of those mortgages, PTR will have $221.3
million in principal amount of convertible mortgages which will be convertible
into a total of 19,246,402 shares of Homestead common stock, which would
represent approximately 35% of the fully converted common shares of Homestead.
Since February 1991, when Security Capital took its initial position in PTR,
through May 31, 1997, PTR's equity market capitalization has increased from $34
million to $1,879 million. From February 1991 through March 31, 1997, the
compound annual return for PTR was 33.6%.
. Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated (NYSE: SCA). ATLANTIC's objective is
to be the preeminent real estate operating company for the development,
acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily communities in
its 12-state southeastern target market. ATLANTIC is focused on generating
long-term, sustainable growth in per share cash flow. ATLANTIC is building its
portfolio by implementing a research-driven investment strategy that includes
opportunistic acquisitions of existing properties and the development of
carefully planned moderate income multifamily communities. As of May 31, 1997,
ATLANTIC's portfolio included 19,361 operating multifamily units, 5,079 units
under construction and an estimated 5,054 units in planning. ATLANTIC has
committed to fund certain mortgage loans for Homestead which are convertible
into Homestead common stock. Upon full funding of those mortgages, ATLANTIC
will have $98.0 million in principal amount of convertible mortgages which will
be convertible into a total of 8,524,215 shares of Homestead common stock,
which would represent approximately 15% of the fully converted common shares of
Homestead. At May 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had an equity market capitalization of
$918 million. Since its inception in December 1993 through March 31, 1997, the
compound annual return for ATLANTIC was 14.7%.
. Homestead Village Incorporated (American Stock Exchange: HSD). Homestead's
objective is to become the preeminent developer, owner and operator of moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging properties throughout
19
<PAGE>
the United States. Homestead was created in 1992 through extensive research and
development and became a public company in October 1996. Homestead seeks to
achieve long-term growth in cash flow by focusing on infill locations in major
employment centers with strong demographics. As of May 31, 1997, Homestead had
developed, owned and operated 40 properties representing in the aggregate 5,323
units and had 44 properties under construction totaling 5,958 units. At May 31,
1997, Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $971 million. From its
spin-off in October 1996 through March 31, 1997, Homestead had a simple
unannualized return of 17.9%. The simple unannualized return has been
calculated based on the following principal assumptions: (i) the investment was
made on October 17, 1996 (and recorded at the cost of the assets contributed by
PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital), and (ii) the per share value of the
investment on March 31, 1997 is represented by the closing sales price on such
date of the shares on the American Stock Exchange. There can be no assurance
that a comparable rate of return may be obtained in the future by Security
Capital or other investors.
. Security Capital Industrial Trust (NYSE: SCN). SCI, a highly focused
Denver-based real estate operating company, is the largest publicly held owner
and operator of distribution properties in the United States based on equity
market capitalization. SCI's primary objective is to achieve long-term,
sustainable growth in per share cash flow. SCI expects to achieve this
objective through The SCI International Operating System(TM) which is committed
to creating shareholder value by targeting the Fortune 1000 companies and
providing exceptional customer service at the international, national, regional
and local levels. SCI's investment strategy is to acquire generic distribution
facilities and develop full-service, master-planned distribution parks in
metropolitan areas that demonstrate strong demographic growth and excellent
distribution real estate fundamentals. SCI recently announced transactions in
Mexico and Europe and the acquisition, through an entity controlled by SCI, of
the refrigerated warehousing and distribution operations of Christian Salvesen,
Inc. in the United States and Canada. At May 31, 1997, SCI had distribution
properties operating or under development in 39 target markets, totaling 90.3
million square feet. At May 31, 1997, SCI had an equity market capitalization
of $2,280 million. Since December 1992 through March 31, 1997, the compound
annual return for SCI was 25.6%.
. Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated ("SHC"). SHC was recently formed and
is focused on becoming the preeminent owner of upscale hotel properties on a
global basis. SHC was created in May 1997 and, ultimately as a public entity,
will seek to achieve a 15% to 20% compound annual total rate of return over the
long-term. Management of SHC is principally focused on maximizing the value of
its investments by providing active and intensive oversight to its select
operators in targeted growth markets throughout the world. Security Capital and
another major institutional investor have each committed to invest $200 million
of capital on an equal basis in SHC. At May 31, 1997, Security Capital had
invested $23 million in SHC, and two hotels had been purchased by SHC.
. Security Capital U.S. Realty (Amsterdam Stock Exchange: SCUSR). Security
Capital USREALTY's objective is to become Europe's preeminent real estate
operating company owning, through a wholly owned subsidiary, significant
strategic positions in leading value-added real estate operating companies
based in the United States. Through a proactive ownership role, appropriate
board representation and ongoing consultation, Security Capital USREALTY
expects to influence the business strategies of the companies in which it
invests to increase per share cash flow. The European management and Board of
Directors of Security Capital USREALTY receive operating and investment advice
from Security Capital (EU) Management S.A., which subcontracts certain research
and advisory activities from its affiliates IRG and SG. Security Capital has
advised Security Capital USREALTY that it does not intend to make its own
direct strategic investments in equity-oriented REITs in the future, other than
those in which Security Capital currently owns a strategic ownership position.
At May 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had an equity market capitalization
of $2,116 million. Since its inception in October 1995 through March 31, 1997,
the compound annual return for Security Capital USREALTY was 33.9%.
Security Capital USREALTY seeks to have 65% to 85% of its assets deployed in
long-term strategic ownership positions in real estate operating companies
organized as REITs and real estate operating companies which are expected in
due course to become REITs.
20
<PAGE>
Security Capital USREALTY also seeks to acquire up to 10% (but generally
less than 5%) of the shares of publicly traded real estate companies and to
hold such positions for an intermediate term of 12 to 18 months (or sooner if
the targeted returns are realized more quickly) with the objective of
obtaining attractive total returns through dividends and share price
appreciation. Security Capital USREALTY seeks to have 10% to 25% of its assets
deployed in such publicly traded positions and, as of May 31, 1997, Security
Capital USREALTY had $308 million (market value) of publicly traded positions
in 23 companies. See "--Security Capital Investment Research Group--Security
Capital USREALTY: Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio."
Security Capital USREALTY also seeks to invest up to 10% of its assets in
securities of the Company to enhance the diversification of its asset base and
to enable European investors in Security Capital USREALTY to participate in
the full activities of Security Capital. As of May 31, 1997, Security Capital
USREALTY owned 52,431 Class A Shares and $55 million principal amount of 2016
Convertible Debentures. Security Capital USREALTY purchases securities of the
Company at arm's-length prices.
Security Capital USREALTY's Strategic Investees:
. CarrAmerica Realty Corporation (NYSE: CRE). CarrAmerica is focused on
becoming the leading owner, operator and developer of value-driven office
properties in key growth markets throughout the United States. Management
seeks to achieve these objectives by offering corporate customers exceptional
customer service on a national basis. At May 31, 1997, CarrAmerica had an
equity market capitalization of $1,838 million.
. Storage USA, Inc. (NYSE: SUS). Storage USA is well positioned to become
the preeminent owner, operator and developer of self-storage facilities in the
United States. Storage USA's strategy is to maximize rents, occupancy and
profitability at each of its facilities by offering outstanding value and
customer service in this highly fragmented industrial real estate niche. At
May 31, 1997, Storage USA had an equity market capitalization of $1,110
million.
. Regency Realty Corporation (NYSE: REG). REGENCY is focused on becoming the
preeminent owner and operator of grocery-and-drug-store-anchored neighborhood
infill shopping centers in selected growth markets of the southeastern United
States. REGENCY is utilizing the equity from Security Capital USREALTY's
investment to take advantage of attractive acquisition and development
opportunities in its target market. At May 31, 1997, REGENCY had an equity
market capitalization of $585 million.
. Pacific Retail Trust (PACIFIC RETAIL). PACIFIC RETAIL is building a
portfolio and implementing a business strategy that is designed to make it the
leading owner, operator and developer of grocery-and-drug-store-anchored
neighborhood infill shopping centers in the western United States. A fully
integrated operating company, PACIFIC RETAIL plans to go public in early 1998,
after it reaches critical mass in several key growth markets. At May 31, 1997,
PACIFIC RETAIL had a private equity market capitalization of $614 million,
based on the per share sales price obtained in PACIFIC RETAIL's most recent
private offering of its common shares.
Security Capital USREALTY has committed to invest in two real estate
operating companies: City Center Retail Trust, a REIT which intends to invest
in urban retail development properties ($75 million commitment for an
approximate 100% ownership interest with an option to invest an additional $75
million); and Urban Growth Property Trust, a REIT which intends to invest in
strategically located urban properties including parking garages, as well as
corporate and retail land leases ($75 million commitment for an approximate
100% ownership interest with an option to invest an additional $75 million).
Although both companies currently are privately held, it is expected that both
companies ultimately will conduct initial public offerings. As of May 31,
1997, Security Capital USREALTY had invested $29.5 million in City Center
Retail Trust.

Security Capital Financial Services Group (FSG)
. SCGroup Incorporated ("SCGroup"). SCGroup provides operational support,
accounting services, human resources and benefits administration, and
technical support to the companies in which Security Capital has direct
investments. As a result, Security Capital's operating companies realize the
benefits of economies of scale by consolidating several management activities
in a centralized operations center.
. Security Capital Markets Group Incorporated ("Security Capital Markets
Group"). Security Capital Markets Group is focused on efficiently accessing
institutional capital through private placements for certain private and
public companies within the Security Capital organization. This gives
institutional investors the early opportunity to invest in Security Capital's
real estate operating companies that Security Capital believes will ultimately
achieve preeminent positions in their respective market niches. Equally
importantly, the professionals in the Security Capital Markets Group maintain
open lines of communication with institutional investors that have taken
ownership positions in Security Capital's private and public companies.
FUTURE STRATEGY
Since its inception, Security Capital has committed capital to research and
development in order to identify opportunities where it can invest in the
start-up of new businesses or new investment services with the objective that
they will ultimately become publicly traded companies. Once opportunities are
identified and thoroughly researched, Security Capital commits substantial
additional capital to the development of operating systems and human capital.
By pursuing a strategy of making a significant investment in advance of the
start-up company's initial operations, as well as making ongoing investments
in operating and people systems as the company grows, Security Capital seeks
to ensure that the start-up company can successfully implement an attractive
growth strategy.
In 1993, initial research began on an investment strategy which was referred
to as SCG Box X and which was announced in 1995 as Security Capital USREALTY.
As of May 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had an equity market
capitalization of $2,116 million.
After four years of research and development, Security Capital announced the
formation of Homestead (previously known as SCG Box X-1) in 1996. As of May
31, 1997, approximately $389 million of value had been created for the
shareholders of PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital as a result of the
formation and spin-off of Homestead as measured by (i) the equity market
capitalization of Homestead securities held by PTR and ATLANTIC (or their
respective shareholders) and Security Capital less (ii) the aggregate cost
basis of the assets contributed by PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital to
Homestead in the spin-off transaction on October 17, 1996, the cost basis of
the Homestead convertible mortgages to be funded by PTR and ATLANTIC and the
cost basis of the Homestead warrants to purchase common shares distributed to
Security Capital and the shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC. As of May 31, 1997,
Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $971 million.
During 1995, Security Capital began the implementation of its research on
two new investments: SCG Box X-3 and Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated
(previously known as SCG Box X-5). In addition, Security Capital USREALTY has
announced that its board has approved investment levels of $150 million in the
niches of high-density urban retail, urban properties and parking, which new
businesses recently began operations.
22
<PAGE>
In 1996, Security Capital committed to make an initial $50 million
investment in SC-PG (previously known as SCG Box X-4), committed to make a
$100 million investment in SC-ERF (previously known as SCG Box X-2) and
continued its research and development activities with respect to its
additional new investments. The Company's policy is to announce new business
initiatives following extensive research and development and after the Company
has committed to make investments in excess of $25 million in the new
business.
An important new component of Security Capital's future growth will come
from new business initiatives which are in varying stages of research and
development. No assurance can be given that these initiatives will be
successful.

<PAGE>
FINANCIAL STRUCTURE AND STRATEGY
Security Capital's objectives are to maximize its return on investment and
its operating cash flows after tax. As a consequence, Security Capital views
its structure as consisting of two divisions: the Capital Division, which
generates dividends and capital gains, and the Services Division, which
generates service and management fees. In order to achieve its financial
objectives, Security Capital plans to balance its investments between growth-
oriented companies that do not pay a dividend and dividend-paying real estate
entities. Security Capital plans to prudently utilize leverage which will be
serviced by the dividends received from the Capital Division and service and
management fees received from the Services Division. Borrowings will be
deployed into the highest return opportunities in either the Capital Division
or Services Division. Security Capital expects to achieve its financial
objectives by continuing to be one of the leading creators of fully integrated,
value-added public real estate companies and by becoming the leading global
investment research/investment manager in superior public real estate companies
not affiliated with Security Capital.
The financial structure and strategy of Security Capital is illustrated in

The following table presents the average annual return for all common share
investors in PTR, ATLANTIC, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY for the periods
indicated through March 31, 1997, based on the following principal assumptions:
(i) the beginning date of the measurement period is the date on which Security
Capital made its first investment in the applicable company, (ii) the
calculation includes all common share offerings at the time proceeds were
received by the applicable company since the beginning date of the measurement
period, (iii) dividends received, if any, were immediately reinvested in common
shares and (iv) the per share value of the investment on March 31, 1997 is
represented by the closing sales price of the common shares on such date on the
principal exchange on which the shares are listed. There can be no assurance
that comparable rates of return on investments will be obtained by Security
Capital or other investors in these companies in the future.

EMPLOYEES
After giving effect to the Mergers, it is expected that Security Capital will
have approximately 350 employees, none of whom are covered by collective
bargaining agreements. Security Capital believes its relations with its
employees to be good.
COMPETITION
There are numerous developers, operators, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with Security Capital's operating companies
in seeking land for development on which to operate their respective
businesses. Security Capital's operating companies compete on a regional and
national basis with no individual market material to Security Capital as a
whole. All of the properties of Security Capital's operating companies are
located in developed areas that include various competitors. The number of
competitive properties could have a material adverse effect on Security
Capital's operating companies and on the rents charged by them. Security
Capital's operating companies may be competing with others that have greater
resources and whose officers and directors have more experience than the
officers, directors and trustees of the Company's operating companies.
26
<PAGE>
The global real estate securities management business of Security Capital
will compete for capital and investment opportunities with a large number of
investment management firms as well as certain insurance companies, commercial
banks and other financial institutions, some of which may have greater access
to capital and other resources and which may offer a wider range of services
than Security Capital. Real estate investment management firms can be formed
with relatively small amounts of capital and depend most significantly on the
continued involvement of their professional staff. The Company believes that
competition among real estate investment management firms is affected
principally by investment performance, development and implementation of
investment strategies, information technologies and databases and client
service performance.
TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
The Company uses a number of trademarks, including "Security Capital" and
variants thereof. All trademarks, service marks and copyright registrations
associated with the business of the Company are registered in the name of the
Company and, if not maintained, expire over various periods of time beginning
in 2005. Certain variants of the name Security Capital will be licensed to
ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI upon completion of the Mergers. See "Relationships with
Operating Companies" for a description of the license agreements. The Company
intends to defend vigorously against infringement of its trademarks, service
marks and copyrights.
PROPERTIES
The principal offices of Security Capital are located at 125 Lincoln Avenue
in Santa Fe, New Mexico and its telephone number is (505) 982-9292. Security
Capital's affiliate also has administrative offices in El Paso, Texas. The
Santa Fe office is leased from an unaffiliated third party and the El Paso
offices are leased from SCI at an annual rental of $802,577. Security Capital
and its affiliates operate out of other offices in the United States (Atlanta,
Chicago, Denver and New York) and Europe (Brussels, London and Luxembourg).
Although SCI, PTR, ATLANTIC and Homestead own an extensive number of
properties, no single property is materially important to Security Capital and
its subsidiaries.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Security Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to certain legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of their business, none of which
are expected to have a material adverse impact on Security Capital.
THE PROPOSED MERGERS
In December 1996, management of Security Capital proposed to its Board that
Security Capital exchange its REIT management companies and property
management companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively.
In January 1997, based on the direction of its Board, Security Capital
proposed to the Board of Directors of ATLANTIC and the Board of Trustees of
each of PTR and SCI, that each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI become internally
managed. On March 24, 1997, Security Capital and each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI
entered into the Merger Agreements. Pursuant to the Merger Agreements,
Security Capital will cause its affiliates providing REIT management and
property management services to each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively,
to be merged into a newly formed subsidiary of each such entity with the
result that all personnel employed in the REIT management and property
management businesses would become officers and employees of the REITs,
respectively, as follows:
. Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated and SCG Realty
Services Atlantic Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT
management and property management services to ATLANTIC), to a newly
formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for shares of ATLANTIC's common
stock valued at $54,608,549.
. Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Security Capital Pacific Incorporated and SCG Realty
Services Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT management
27
<PAGE>
and property management services to PTR), to a newly formed subsidiary of
PTR in exchange for common shares of PTR valued at $75,838,457.
. Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Security Capital Industrial Incorporated and SCI Client
Services Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT management
and property management services to SCI), to a newly formed subsidiary of
SCI in exchange for common shares of SCI valued at $81,870,626.
. Security Capital will license to each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI the
trademarks and tradenames used in their respective businesses.
. The shareholders of each of Security Capital, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI must
approve the respective Merger Agreements. The shareholders of Security
Capital approved each Merger Agreement on April 17, 1997. It is currently
expected that the shareholder votes of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI will occur
in the third quarter of 1997 and, if approved, the Mergers are expected
to close in that same quarter. The Mergers are also subject to customary
closing conditions.
. The number of shares of ATLANTIC common stock and common shares of PTR
and SCI to be issued to Security Capital will be based on the public
market value of the shares on the five-day period prior to the record
date for mailing proxy statements seeking shareholder approval for the
transactions, subject to the price being within an 11.24% range of the
closing price of the shares on March 14, 1997 ($23 1/4, $24 3/8 and $22
1/4 for ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively). If the price of the shares
falls outside of the range, then the number of shares issuable to
Security Capital will be based on the high or low end of the range, as
the case may be.
. In order to allow the common shareholders to maintain their relative
percentage ownership in ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively, concurrently
with the proxy solicitation seeking approval of the Mergers, each of
ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI will conduct a rights offering entitling its common
shareholders, other than Security Capital, to purchase additional common
shares. The rights offering price will be at a discount to the price at
which shares will be issued to Security Capital under the respective
Merger Agreements if the price of the shares falls within the range
described above. If the market price of the shares at the record date for
the rights offering is below the minimum price of the range, the rights
offering will be conducted at a discount to such market price, and if the
market price of the shares is above the maximum price of the range, the
rights offering will be conducted at the maximum price at which shares
will be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the transaction.
. As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements, and to
permit the REIT shareholders to benefit from the Mergers on the same
basis as Security Capital equity holders, Security Capital will issue,
pro rata, Warrants to the common equity holders (e.g., holders of common
shares, convertible preferred shares and, in the case of SCI, units) of
each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, other than Security Capital, after the
closing of the Mergers and the Offering. If all the Mergers are approved
by their respective shareholders, Security Capital will issue, pro rata,
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of $250 million of its Class B Shares.
The number of Class B Shares subject to the Warrants will be based on the
market price of the Class B Shares on a date within approximately 60 days
following the closing of the Mergers. The Warrants will each be
exercisable at an exercise price based on the price of the Class B Shares
on a date to be established following the completion of the Offering. The
Warrants have been approved for listing on the NYSE under the symbol "SCZ
WS". The Warrants will expire one year after issuance and will contain
customary anti-dilution provisions.
THE WARRANT ISSUANCE
The Warrants will be issued by Security Capital directly to Securityholders
(other than Security Capital) following approval of the proposals by the
shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively, and subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions to each of the Merger Agreements. The
Warrants will be issued to the Warrant Issuance Agent for distribution to
Securityholders on the Warrant Issuance Date, which date will be
28
<PAGE>
within 30 days following the Warrant Issuance Record Date, as determined by
the Board. The Warrant Issuance will be made to Securityholders of record at
the close of business on the Warrant Issuance Record Date, which record date
will be within 31 days after the closing date of the Mergers. The amount of
Warrants to be received by each Securityholder will depend on the number of
REIT Securities outstanding on the Warrant Issuance Record Date and the
closing price of the Class B Shares on the Warrant Issuance, the number of
Warrants to be received by each Securityholder will be decreased accordingly.
No certificates or scrip representing fractional Warrants will be issued to
Securityholders as part of the Warrant Issuance. The First National Bank of
Boston, as warrant issuance agent (the "Warrant Issuance Agent"), will, as
soon as practicable after the Warrant Issuance Date, aggregate and sell all
fractional Warrants on the NYSE or otherwise at then prevailing market prices
and remit the net proceeds (after deduction of brokerage fees) to holders of
Securityholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
Warrants.
NO SECURITYHOLDER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY CASH OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
FOR THE WARRANTS THEY RECEIVE OR TO SURRENDER OR EXCHANGE REIT SECURITIES IN
ORDER TO RECEIVE THE WARRANTS. THE WARRANT ISSUANCE WILL NOT AFFECT THE NUMBER
OF, OR THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO, OUTSTANDING REIT SECURITIES.
For a description of the terms of the Warrants and the Class B Shares
issuable upon exercise thereof, see "Description of Capital Stock."

(1) The amounts shown are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
material assumptions incorporated in the Black-Scholes model for
estimating the value of the options include the following: exercise prices
of $1,139 equal to the estimated fair market value of the Class A Shares
on the date of grant; average expected option term of seven years;
interest rate of 6.32% which represents the interest rate on the date of
grant on a U.S. Treasury security with a maturity date corresponding to
the option term; expected volatility of 20% calculated based on (i) the
annualized weekly volatility of Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares over the
period of May 1996 to February 1997, (ii) monthly Class A Shares estimated
fair market values for 1995 and 1996, (iii) consideration of the
volatility of various publicly traded REITs and (iv) an estimate of
Security Capital's weighted-average volatility; and dividends at the rate
of $0 per Class A Share. The actual value, if any, an option holder will
realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess of the market
value of the Company's Class A Shares over the exercise price on the date
the option is exercised. There is no assurance the value realized by an
option holder will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes
model.
(2) Represents options to purchase 60,000 shares of Homestead common stock at
$10 per share which were granted on October 15, 1996 to Mr. Dressler by
Homestead, and which expire on October 15, 2006. The options vest ten
percent in the second year after the date of grant, twenty percent in the
third year after the date of grant, thirty percent in the fourth year
after the date of grant and forty percent in the fifth year after the date
of grant.
(3) The amounts shown are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
material assumptions incorporated in the Black-Scholes model in estimating
the value of the options include the following: an exercise price of
$10.00 per share equal to the estimated fair market value of a share of
Homestead common stock on the date of grant; average expected option term
of 5.5 years; a risk-free interest rate of 6.23%; no expected dividend
yield; and expected volatility of 37%. The actual value, if any, an
optionee will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess
of the market value of the shares over the exercise price on the date the
option is exercised. There can be no assurance that the value realized by
an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by using the Black-
Scholes model.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
Security Capital has no employment contracts with any executive officer and
no plans or arrangements by which any such executive officer will be
compensated as a result of his resignation or retirement or any other
39
<PAGE>
termination of his employment with Security Capital and its subsidiaries or,
except as described below under "--1995 Option Plan," in connection with a
change in control of Security Capital.
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN
On September 17, 1996, the Board approved the Security Capital Group
Incorporated Outside Directors Plan (the "Outside Directors Plan"). The
Outside Directors Plan has been filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and the following summary of
the material terms of the Outside Directors Plan is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the actual terms thereof.
The purpose of the Outside Directors Plan is to enable the directors of
Security Capital who are not employees or officers of Security Capital or any
of its affiliates ("Outside Directors") to increase their ownership of
Security Capital and thereby further the identity of their interests with
those of Security Capital's other shareholders. To achieve the foregoing
objective, the Outside Directors Plan provides for grants of options
("Options") to purchase Class A Shares. The Secretary of Security Capital (the
"Administrator") administers the Outside Directors Plan with a view to
Security Capital's best interests and the Outside Directors Plan's objectives.
The Administrator has authority to adopt administrative guidelines, rules and
regulations relating to the Outside Directors Plan and to make all
determinations necessary or advisable for the implementation and
administration of the Outside Directors Plan.
The number of Class A Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan is 7,000. The Class A Shares subject
to the Outside Directors Plan may be currently authorized but unissued Class A
Shares or treasury Class A Shares held or subsequently purchased by Security
Capital, including Class A Shares purchased in the open market or in private
transactions. If Security Capital shall effect any subdivision or
consolidation of Class A Shares, payment of a stock dividend, stock split,
combination of Class A Shares or recapitalization or other increase or
reduction of the number of Class A Shares outstanding without receiving
compensation therefor in money, services or property, then the Administrator
shall adjust: (i) the number of Class A Shares available under the Outside
Directors Plan; (ii) the number of Class A Shares available under any Outside
Directors Plan limits; (iii) the number of Class A Shares subject to any
outstanding Options; (iv) the number of Class A Shares subject to future
grant; and (v) the per share exercise price under any outstanding Option.
On September 17, 1996, each Outside Director was granted an option to
purchase 150 Class A Shares at an exercise price of $1,066 per share, except a
recently appointed Outside Director who was granted options to purchase 75
Class A Shares at an exercise price of $1,066 per share, the fair market value
of the Class A Shares on the date of the grant. On January 1, 1997, each
Outside Director was granted an Option to purchase 150 Class A Shares at an
exercise price of $1,237 per share, the fair market value of the Class A
Shares on such date. On January 1 of each year, an Outside Director serving on
such date will be granted an Option to purchase 150 Class A Shares at an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Class A Shares on such
date. In the event an Outside Director is appointed during the year, such
person will receive an award reduced to reflect the portion of the year such
person will serve as an Outside Director.
Each Option becomes exercisable one year from the date of grant, or earlier
in the event of death or disability of the director. Each Option shall expire
on the earlier of: (i) the ten-year anniversary of the date of grant; (ii) the
three-month anniversary of the director's termination for any reason other
than death, disability or retirement; or (iii) the one-year anniversary of the
director's termination by death, disability or retirement. Options are not
transferable prior to exercise, except as designated by the director by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the previous
sentence, the Administrator may permit Options under the Outside Directors
Plan to be transferred to or for the benefit of the director's family.
If Security Capital is reorganized, merged or consolidated or is party to a
plan or exchange with another corporation, pursuant to which reorganization,
merger, consolidation or plan of exchange the shareholders of Security Capital
receive any shares of stock or other securities or property, or Security
Capital shall distribute
40
<PAGE>
securities of another corporation to its shareholders, there shall be
substituted for the Class A Shares subject to outstanding Options an
appropriate number of shares of each class of stock or amount of other
securities or property which were distributed to the shareholders of Security
Capital in respect of such Class A Shares; provided that, upon the occurrence
of a reorganization of Security Capital or any other event described in this
paragraph, any successor to Security Capital shall be substituted for Security
Capital.
The Outside Directors Plan was approved by the shareholders of Security
Capital at a special meeting of shareholders in April 1997 and may be amended
or terminated at any time by the Board.
1995 OPTION PLAN
The following description of certain provisions of the Security Capital
Group Incorporated 1995 Option Plan (the "1995 Option Plan") is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the 1995 Option Plan, a copy of which is filed as
an exhibit to this registration statement.
General
With respect to Options granted prior to December 3, 1996, the 1995 Option
Plan provided for the granting of Options to purchase Class A Shares in tandem
with Options to purchase 2014 Convertible Debentures. The Options must be
exercised in tandem and must be in a unit. With respect to Options granted on
or after December 3, 1996, the 1995 Option Plan provides for the granting of
Options to purchase only Class A Shares. The Compensation Committee
administers the 1995 Option Plan. The Compensation Committee determines the
key and emerging key employees of Security Capital or its subsidiaries or
affiliates to whom awards under the 1995 Option Plan will be granted
("Participants") and the terms and conditions of such awards. Each member of
the Compensation Committee must be a "non-employee" as such term is defined in
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
Options
An Option may be granted so as to qualify for treatment as an incentive
stock option (an "Incentive Option") pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or so as not to so qualify (a
"Non-Qualified Option"). The exercise price (the "Option Price") for each
Option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and shall not be less
than the greater of the fair market value of the underlying Class A Shares on
the date of the grant of the Option or the par value of the underlying shares.
The full purchase price of each Class A Share and 2014 Convertible Debentures
purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of
exercise. The Option Price shall be payable in cash. In addition, Participants
who own Class A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures for at least six months
may surrender such shares or debentures (valued at fair market value as of the
day such shares or debentures are tendered) for all or a portion of the Option
Price. No Option may be exercised unless cash or previously purchased Security
Capital securities are paid for the Option Price.
Subject to certain adjustments described below, Options for up to 139,716
shares of Class A Shares (representing 5.4% of the outstanding Class A Shares
on a fully diluted basis) may be granted. Class A Shares issuable on
conversion of the 2014 Convertible Debentures are included in such maximum
number of shares for which Options may be granted. Class A Shares issued upon
exercise of Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan may be either
authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and thereafter acquired by
Security Capital. Class A Shares allocated to an Option which expires or
terminates without the issuance of Class A Shares may be allocated to new
Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan.
If Security Capital shall effect any subdivision or consolidation of Class A
Shares or other capital readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock split,
combination of Class A Shares or recapitalization or other increase or
reduction of the number of Class A Shares outstanding without receiving
compensation therefor, then the Compensation Committee shall adjust (i) the
number of Class A Shares available under the 1995 Option
41
<PAGE>
Plan, (ii) the number of Class A Shares subject to outstanding Options, and
(iii) the per share price under any outstanding Option. If Security Capital is
reorganized, merged or consolidated or is party to a plan of exchange with
another corporation, pursuant to which reorganization, merger, consolidation
or plan of exchange, the shareholders of Security Capital receive any shares
of stock or other securities or property, or Security Capital shall distribute
securities of another corporation to its shareholders, there shall be
substituted for the Class A Shares subject to outstanding Options an
appropriate number of shares of each class of stock or amount of other
securities or property which were distributed to the shareholders of Security
Capital in respect of such Class A Shares, subject to the following: (i) if
the Compensation Committee determines that the substitution described in this
sentence would not be fully consistent with the purposes of the 1995 Option
Plan or the purposes of the outstanding Options under the 1995 Option Plan,
the Compensation Committee may make such other adjustments to the Options to
the extent that the Compensation Committee determines such adjustments are
consistent with the purposes of the 1995 Option Plan and of the affected
Options, (ii) all or any of the Options may be cancelled by the Compensation
Committee on or immediately prior to the effective date of the applicable
transaction, but only if the Compensation Committee gives reasonable advance
notice of the cancellation to each affected Participant, and only if either
(A) the Participant is permitted to exercise the Option in full for a
reasonable period prior to the effective date of the cancellation or (B) the
Participant receives payment or other benefits that the Compensation Committee
determines to be reasonable compensation for the value of the cancelled
Options, and (iii) upon the occurrence of a reorganization of Security Capital
or any other event described in this sentence, any successor to Security
Capital shall be substituted for Security Capital to the extent that Security
Capital and the successor agree to such substitution. Finally, upon the sale
to, or exchange with, a third party unrelated to Security Capital of all or
substantially all of the assets of Security Capital, all Options shall be
cancelled. If Options are cancelled, then, with respect to any affected
Participant, either (i) the Participant shall be provided with reasonable
advance notice of the cancellation, and the Participant shall be permitted to
exercise the Option in full for a reasonable period prior to the effective
date of the cancellation, or (ii) the Participant shall receive payment or
other benefits that the Compensation Committee determines to be reasonable
compensation for the value of the cancelled Options.
Subject to earlier termination as described below, the expiration date for
each Option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, but the
expiration date with respect to any Option shall be no later than the earliest
to occur of: (i) the ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option is
granted; (ii) if the Participant's termination occurs by reason of death,
disability or retirement, the one-year anniversary of the date of termination,
except in the event of termination due to death or disability, all Options
become immediately exercisable; (iii) if the Participant's termination occurs
for reasons other than death, disability, retirement or cause, the three-month
anniversary of such date of termination; and (iv) if the Participant's
termination occurs for cause, the date of termination.
In the event that (i) a Participant's employment is terminated by Security
Capital or a successor to Security Capital or an affiliated entity which is
his or her employer for reasons other than cause following a Change in Control
(as defined in the 1995 Option Plan) of Security Capital or (ii) the 1995
Option Plan is terminated by the Company or its successor following a Change
in Control without provision for the continuation of outstanding Options, all
Options which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable.
Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan are not transferable other than
by will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent provided by
the Compensation Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.
To the extent that the Participant who receives an Option under the 1995
Option Plan has the right to exercise such Option, the Option may be exercised
during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may permit Options
under the 1995 Option Plan to be transferred to or for the benefit of the
Participant's family, subject to such limits as the Compensation Committee may
establish. However, in no event shall an Incentive Option be transferable to
the extent that such transferability would violate the requirements applicable
to such Option under Section 422 of the Code.
The Compensation Committee may provide the Participant with the right to
receive a replacement Option, in Class A Shares only, for the number of Class
A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures used to satisfy the
42
<PAGE>
Participant's minimum tax obligations upon exercise of the original Option. In
order to receive the replacement Option, the original Option must be exercised
prior to termination of the Participant's employment. A replacement Option
shall be granted on the date of exercise of the original Option to which it
relates with an Option Price equal to the fair market value on the date of the
grant of the replacement Option. Additionally, a replacement Option shall have
the same expiration date as the original Option to which it relates and shall
be exercisable no earlier than six months after its grant date.
Amendment and Termination
The 1995 Option Plan may, at any time, be amended or terminated by the
Board, provided that, subject to the provision relating the adjustment of
Class A Shares, no amendment or termination may materially adversely affect
the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Option granted under
the 1995 Option Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board.
OTHER OPTION PLANS
Security Capital's predecessors also adopted the Security Capital Realty
Investors Incorporated Option Plans A and B (each a "Realty Option Plan") and
the Security Capital Group Incorporated 1991 and 1992 Option Plans A and the
1991 and 1992 Option Plans B (each a "Group Option Plan"). The Realty Option
Plans provide for the grant of options to purchase Class A Shares. In 1994, to
reflect a distribution of debt securities to shareholders, all of the
outstanding options under the Realty Option Plans were adjusted to add a
tandem right to purchase 2014 Convertible Debentures. Each of the Group Option
Plans provides for the grant of tandem options to purchase Class A Shares and
2014 Convertible Debentures. Generally, all of the plans contain terms
substantially similar to the 1995 Option Plan except that the Group 1991 and
1992 Option Plans A and B provide for the automatic grant of options to
purchase Class A Shares in tandem with 2014 Convertible Debentures. Each Class
A Share under an option must be exercised in tandem with a specified face
amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (referred to as a "Unit"). The number of
Class A Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options under the Realty
Option Plans A and B and the Group 1991 and 1992 Option Plans A and the 1991
and 1992 Option Plans B (including Class A Shares issuable upon the conversion
of the 2014 Convertible Debentures) are 16,366, 3,845, 9,982, 29,946, 7,010
and 21,031, respectively. Of such shares, 313, 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0, respectively,
remain available for the granting of Options thereunder.

(1) Prior to 1995, Security Capital consolidated the accounts of SCI and
PACIFIC. During 1995, Security Capital's ownership of SCI decreased to
less than 50% and PACIFIC was merged into PTR. Accordingly, these entities

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Information" and the financial statements included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in
"Selected Financial Information" and the consolidated financial statements of
Security Capital are not indicative of the future operations of Security
Capital.
OVERVIEW
Security Capital has obtained its income historically from two sources: (1)
Security Capital's share of earnings in ATLANTIC, PTR, SCI, Security Capital
USREALTY and Homestead, some of which Security Capital accounts for by the
equity method where it owns less than a 50% controlling interest (PTR, SCI and
Security Capital USREALTY) and others of which are consolidated in Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements (ATLANTIC and Homestead) and (2)
financial services revenues earned by the Real Estate Research Group, the
Investment Research Group and the Financial Services Group and, prior to the
Mergers, the REIT management and property management companies. Revenues from
the Services Division are only reflected in Security Capital's consolidated
financial statements if they were earned from investees accounted for by the
equity method. Services Division revenues earned from consolidated investees
are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Services
Division revenues earned from PTR and SCI have historically been based upon a
percentage of the cash flow from operations or a percentage of revenues, as
defined in the applicable REIT management and property management agreements,
respectively. See "Relationships with Operating Companies--PTR--PTR REIT
Management Agreement," "--PTR Property Management," "--SCI--SCI REIT
Management Agreement" and "--SCI Property Management."
Security Capital USREALTY, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, accounts for its investments at market value or estimated fair
value (depending on whether the investment is publicly traded) and reflects
changes in such values in its statement of income pursuant to fair value
accounting principles. The Company accounts for its investment in Security
Capital USREALTY using the equity method and, as a consequence, the Company's
results of operations are affected by changes in the fair value of Security
Capital USREALTY's investments. Security Capital USREALTY values its
investments in publicly traded companies at market determined by using closing
market prices as of the relevant balance sheet date. Security Capital USREALTY
values its investments in private companies at fair value, generally
determined at cost, or an appropriate lower value if the investment is not
performing as expected. If substantial additional capital is raised by an
investee from independent third parties in a private placement, Security
Capital USREALTY values its investment at the price at which that capital was
raised when a substantial percentage of the new subscriptions have been
funded. In addition, through an advisory relationship with Security Capital
USREALTY, the Services Division also earns advisory fee revenues based on a
percentage of the fair value of Security Capital USREALTY's investments (not
including short-term investments and investments in Security Capital). See
"Relationships with Operating Companies--Security Capital USREALTY--Advisory
Agreements" and "--Sub-Advisory Agreement."
Effective January 1, 1995, the predecessor of Security Capital, Security
Capital Realty Incorporated, acquired Security Capital Group Incorporated.
Subsequently, the merged entity was renamed Security Capital Group
Incorporated. As part of the 1995 Merger, Security Capital acquired the
Services Division. See Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements included herein. From 1992 until the 1995 Merger, Security Capital
Realty Incorporated elected to be taxed as a REIT and, accordingly, made cash
distributions to its shareholders. On March 23, 1995, the merger of PACIFIC
with and into PTR (the "PTR Merger") was completed. See "Relationships with
Operating Companies--PTR--Merger and Public Offerings" and Note 3 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements included herein. On October 17,
1996, Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR spun-off their respective extended-
stay lodging assets to Homestead. See "Relationship with Operating Companies--
Homestead--Homestead Transaction" and Note 3 to the Company's consolidated
financial statements included herein.
46
<PAGE>
If the proposed Mergers involving ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI are consummated,
Security Capital will exchange its interests in the applicable REIT management
companies and property management companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR
and SCI, respectively. Although the effects of completion of the proposed
Mergers on the Company's future consolidated results of operations are
complex, the Company expects reductions in Services Division revenues relating
to the sale of the REIT management and property management companies for PTR
and SCI to be substantially offset by decreases in Company-level personnel and
other costs attributable to the operation of such companies and increases in
capital investments revenues attributable to its ownership of additional
common shares of PTR and SCI.
Please refer to the Index to Financial Statements for the audited financial
statements of PTR, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY, Security Capital's
unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method.
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
CAPITAL DIVISION INVESTMENTS
Dividends Received
Security Capital's dividends received increased $19.0 million, or 21%, from
$89.6 million in 1995 to $108.6 million in 1996.
Equity in earnings of less than 50% owned investees
Security Capital's share of SCI's earnings increased 21% from $21.0 million
in 1995 to $25.4 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to
an increase in the amount of distribution space owned and leased by SCI (80.6
million square feet at December 31, 1996 compared to 58.5 million square feet
at December 31, 1995) and increased rental rates on renewal leases for
previously occupied space, and was partly offset by a small decrease in SCI's
occupancy level (91.2% as of December 31, 1996 compared to 93.5% as of
December 31, 1995). At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's
ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of SCI was 46% and 48%,
respectively.
Security Capital's share of PTR's earnings increased 62% from $24.6 million
in 1995 to $39.9 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to
a substantial increase in the number of multifamily properties owned by PTR
(42,702 operating units at December 31, 1996 compared to 38,737 operating
units at December 31, 1995), and significant gains ($37.5 million) on sales of
properties in 1996. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's
ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of PTR was 36% and 38%,
respectively.
Security Capital's share of Security Capital USREALTY's earnings increased
substantially from $0.1 million in 1995 to $103.2 million in 1996. Security
Capital USREALTY effectively commenced its investment activities in October
1995, and at December 31, 1996, Security Capital USREALTY had investments at
cost of $1.18 billion with a fair market value of $1.43 billion, resulting in
unrealized appreciation of $250 million which is accounted for by Security
Capital USREALTY pursuant to fair value accounting principles. In addition,
Security Capital USREALTY recorded net investment income (defined as dividends
and other investment income net of administration expenses, advisor fees,
taxes and interest) of $16.4 million in 1996. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common stock of
Security Capital USREALTY was 39% and 32%, respectively.
Rental Operations--from greater than 50% owned consolidated investees
Rental Revenues
Rental revenues increased $42.3 million, or 41%, from $103.6 million in 1995
to $145.9 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the number of multifamily units owned and operated by ATLANTIC
(19,241 operating units at December 31, 1996 compared to 15,823 operating
units at December
47
<PAGE>
31, 1995), coupled with stable occupancies (approximately 95%) in both 1996
and 1995. Also accounting for part of the increase in rental revenues is the
consolidation of Homestead after the spin-off transaction completed on October
17, 1996 by Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR of their extended-stay lodging
assets. Homestead generated $8.2 million in revenues for the two and one-half
month period ended December 31, 1996.
Other Income, Net
Other income consists of interest and miscellaneous income of $3.4 million
and $1.8 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and in 1996 includes
miscellaneous gains on sales of ATLANTIC properties.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses increased by $16.1 million, or 42%, to $54.0 million in 1996
from $37.9 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in the number of ATLANTIC's operating multifamily communities
discussed previously. ATLANTIC's rental expenses increased $12.0 million
(excluding REIT and property management fees) in 1996 compared to 1995.
Homestead's rental expenses were $4.1 million for the period from October 17,
1996 to December 31, 1996.
SERVICES DIVISION
Revenues
Services Division revenues increased from $49.4 million in 1995 to $77.5
million in 1996. Services Division revenues are only reflected in the
Company's consolidated financial statements if they were earned from investees
in which Security Capital owns less than a 50% interest. Financial services
revenues earned from PTR and SCI are based on a percentage of the cash flow
from operations or on a percentage of revenues, as defined by the REIT and
property management agreements, respectively. Through the Advisory Agreement
(as defined below) with Security Capital USREALTY, Security Capital earns
revenues based on a percentage of the fair value of Security Capital
USREALTY's investments (not including short term investments and investments
in Security Capital). The increase of $28.1 million in Services Division
revenues in 1996 as compared to 1995 was primarily attributable to growth in
operations at each of the Company's non-consolidated investees. In particular,
financial services revenues earned from SCI increased $13.8 million, financial
services revenues earned from PTR increased $3.8 million and advisory revenues
earned from Security Capital USREALTY increased $7.9 million. The remaining
services revenues of $2.6 million were earned by Security Capital Markets
Group. Services Division revenues and associated expenses will be reduced
substantially following completion of the proposed Mergers. See "--Overview."
Expenses
Services Division expenses increased by $30.4 million, or 50%, in 1996 to
$91.2 million from $60.8 million in 1995. The increase was primarily
attributable to growth of the REIT and property management companies,
including the hiring of additional professionals. Security Capital continues
to make substantial investments in personnel, operating systems and research
capabilities in order to take advantage of future growth opportunities.
Services Division expenses will be reduced following the proposed Mergers as a
result of the transfer of personnel employed by Security Capital to PTR and
SCI. See "--Overview".
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $26.6 million
and $18.1 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Of those amounts, $22.1
million and $15.9 million represented depreciation and amortization from
rental operations (i.e., ATLANTIC and Homestead) in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Depreciation for
48
<PAGE>
ATLANTIC increased $4.9 million to $20.8 million in 1996 from $15.9 million in
1995, an increase of 31%, due to the increase in the number of operating
multifamily communities between 1995 and 1996. Depreciation for Homestead was
$1.3 million for the two and one-half month period ended December 31, 1996. The
remaining depreciation and amortization of $4.5 million and $2.2 million in
1996 and 1995, respectively, is attributable to the Services Division and the
administrative support functions, representing an increase of $2.3 million over
such depreciation and amortization for 1995 of $2.2 million. The $2.3 million
increase between 1995 and 1996 is a result of additional depreciation on
furniture, fixtures and equipment (consisting primarily of computer and
communications equipment) acquired in connection with the expansion of the
Services Division and Security Capital's decision to fund additional
investments in information technology.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Security Capital's consolidated interest expense consists of interest on the
2014 Convertible Debentures and 2016 Convertible Debentures, interest on
revolving lines of credit which are obligations of Security Capital and
ATLANTIC and interest on mortgage notes payable which are obligations of
ATLANTIC and Homestead. Interest expense for 1996 and 1995 is summarized as
follows:

</TABLE>
Debenture interest increased as a result of the issuance of 2016 Convertible
Debentures in 1996 totalling $226.5 million as well as the issuance of an
additional $185 million of 2014 Convertible Debentures during 1995. See the
discussion of "Convertible Debt" in Note 4 to the Company's consolidated
financial statements included herein.
ATLANTIC's mortgage interest expense increase in 1996 was the result of an
increase in average mortgage debt outstanding.
ATLANTIC's line of credit interest expense increase in 1996 was primarily
attributable to an increase in the average outstanding balance ($204.3 million
in 1996 as compared to $178.3 million in 1995) and was partially offset by a
lower weighted-average interest rate (7.39% in 1996 as compared to 7.92% in
1995). The increase was also attributable to increased amortization of loan-
related costs.
The overall increase in interest expense for ATLANTIC was offset by an
increase in capitalized interest of $5.8 million in 1996 over 1995. The
increase in capitalized interest was attributable to ATLANTIC's increased
development activity.
Homestead's mortgage interest expense for 1996 was attributable to
Homestead's borrowing under its funding commitment agreement with PTR for
development of extended-stay lodging facilities. Interest expense was recorded
for the period from October 17, 1996, the date of the spin-off transaction,
through December 31, 1996. Interest expense for Homestead was also affected by
the amortization of deferred financing costs and other loan-related costs
incurred as a result of the spin-off.
49
<PAGE>
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER
General, administrative and other expenses increased by $6.6 million, or
36%, in 1996 to $24.9 million from $18.3 million in 1995. This increase
results primarily from the consolidation of Homestead's accounts ($2.2
million), the inclusion of ATLANTIC's provision for a possible loss on
investments ($2.5 million) as well as additional personnel and related costs
applicable to information systems, human resources and other administrative
support functions.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes in 1996 was primarily attributable to
deferred income taxes on the equity in earnings of Security Capital USREALTY.
In 1995, Security Capital had net deferred tax assets (primarily net operating
losses) that were completely offset by a valuation allowance. Accordingly, no
provision for income taxes was recorded in 1995. See Note 8 to the Company's
consolidated financial statements included herein.
MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests increased from $4.8 million in 1995 to $13.4 million in
1996 due to increased earnings at ATLANTIC, coupled with an increase in
minority interests in ATLANTIC in conjunction with its initial public offering
in October 1996.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
On April 1, 1996, Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to a single investor. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a
7.5% preferential cash dividend rate, payable when and if authorized by the
Board quarterly in arrears. Security Capital paid $7.8 million in dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock in 1996. See "Description of Capital Stock--
Preferred Stock."
1995 COMPARED TO 1994
CAPITAL DIVISION INVESTMENTS
Dividends Received
Security Capital's dividends received increased $41.4 million, or 86%, from
$48.2 million in 1994 to $89.6 million in 1995.
Equity in earnings of less than 50% owned investees
Security Capital consolidated SCI's operations in 1994 and reported earnings
of SCI based on the equity method in 1995. For purposes of comparison between
the years, SCI results of operations for 1994 are discussed below as if the
equity method was in effect for 1994. Security Capital's share of SCI's
earnings increased 65%, from $12.7 million in 1994 to $21.0 million in 1995.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of
distribution space owned and leased by SCI (58.5 million square feet at
December 31, 1995 compared to 39.1 million square feet at December 31, 1994),
improvements in SCI's occupancy level (93.5% as of December 31, 1995 compared
to 92.4% as of December 31, 1994) and increased rental rates on renewal leases
for previously occupied space. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Security
Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of SCI was 48%
and 51%, respectively.
Security Capital reported earnings of PTR based on the equity method in both
1995 and 1994. However, PTR's 1995 earnings include the earnings of PACIFIC
which was merged into PTR in March 1995. For purposes of comparison between
the years, PTR's results of operations for 1994 are discussed below as if the
PTR Merger had occurred at the beginning of 1994. Security Capital's share of
PTR's earnings increased 69%, from $14.6 million in 1994 ($8.8 million from
PTR and $5.8 million from PACIFIC) to $24.6 million in 1995. This increase
50
<PAGE>
was primarily attributable to a substantial increase in 1995 in the number of
multifamily properties owned by PTR (38,737 operating units at December 31,
1995 compared to 30,182 operating units at December 31, 1994) and Security
Capital's increased ownership interest in PTR. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of PTR
was 38% and 32%, respectively.
Rental Operations--from greater than 50% owned consolidated investees
Rental Revenues and Expenses
During 1995 and 1994, all rental revenues and expenses of the Company
pertained solely to ATLANTIC's operations. Rental revenues increased $48.5
million, or 88%, to $103.6 million in 1995 from $55.1 million in 1994. Rental
expenses increased $14.8 million, or 64%, to $37.9 million in 1995 (excluding
REIT and property management fees) from $23.1 million in 1994. The increase in
rental revenues and expenses was primarily attributable to the increase in the
number of multifamily communities. At December 31, 1995, ATLANTIC had 15,823
operating multifamily units as compared to 11,990 operating multifamily units
at December 31, 1994. In 1994, ATLANTIC acquired 11,307 units and the majority
of its properties were not owned for the full year. At December 31, 1994,
94.7% of ATLANTIC's units were classified as "pre-stabilized" as compared to
25.7% at December 31, 1995. The term "pre-stabilized" means that renovation,
repositioning, new management and new marketing programs (or development and
marketing in the case of newly developed communities) have not been completed
and in effect for a sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12
months, except in cases of major rehabilitation) to achieve 93% occupancy at
market rents.
SERVICES DIVISION
Revenues
Services Division revenues were $49.4 million in 1995. As mentioned
previously, the Services Division companies were acquired by Security Capital
on January 1, 1995 as a result of the 1995 Merger.
Expenses
During 1995, Security Capital incurred Services Division expenses (primarily
payroll, occupancy and related expenses) of $60.8 million as a result of the
acquisition of the Services Division companies in the 1995 Merger.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $18.1 million
for 1995, which represented an increase of $9.3 million from depreciation and
amortization of $8.8 million for 1994. Depreciation and amortization from
rental operations (ATLANTIC) was $15.9 million and $8.8 million in 1995 and
1994, respectively. The $7.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization
from rental operations, which represented an increase of 81% over 1994, was
due to increases in ATLANTIC's portfolio of operating properties and the
reflection of a full year of depreciation in 1995 for properties acquired
during 1994. The remaining increase of $2.2 million in 1995 was attributable
to the Services Division and the administrative support functions and was
attributable to depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment (primarily
computer and communications equipment) which was not owned by Security Capital
in 1994.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Security Capital's interest expense for 1995 and 1994 consisted of interest
on the 2014 Convertible Debentures, interest on revolving lines of credit
which are obligations of Security Capital and ATLANTIC and
51
<PAGE>
interest on mortgage notes payable which are obligations of ATLANTIC. Interest
expense for 1995 and 1994 can be summarized as follows:

======= ======= ======= ====== ======== =======
</TABLE>
Interest on 2014 Convertible Debentures increased $49.1 million in 1995 from
$29.6 million in 1994. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of $461
million of 2014 Convertible Debentures in 1994, and the issuance of an
additional $185 million of 2014 Convertible Debentures in 1995.
ATLANTIC's mortgage interest expense increased $4.3 million in 1995 as
compared to 1994, due to an increase in average mortgage debt outstanding.
ATLANTIC's line of credit interest expense increased $10.3 million in 1995
over 1994. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the
average outstanding balance on its line of credit ($178.3 million in 1995 as
compared to $65.6 million in 1994) and a higher weighted-average interest rate
(7.92% in 1995 as compared to 7.34% in 1994). A portion of the increase was
also attributable to amortization of loan-related costs.
The overall increase in interest expense was offset by an increase in
capitalized interest of $3.6 million in 1995 over 1994. The increase in
capitalized interest was the result of ATLANTIC's increased development
activity.
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER
General, administrative and other expenses increased to $18.3 million in
1995 from $6.2 million in 1994 primarily as a result of the acquisition of the
Services Division in the 1995 Merger. Such expenses in 1995 relate primarily
to payroll, occupancy and related expenses applicable to corporate
administration, information systems, human resources, legal and accounting
departments. General, administrative and other expenses in 1994 consisted
primarily of a REIT management fee paid by Security Capital amounting to $5.3
million, which was eliminated in 1995 as a result of the acquisition of the
Services Division companies.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Security Capital elected to be taxed as a REIT in 1994 and, therefore,
incurred no federal or state tax at the corporate level in 1994. In 1995,
Security Capital elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Security Capital
sustained a loss for tax purposes in 1995 and its deferred tax assets
(primarily net operating losses) were completely offset by a valuation
allowance.
COST INCURRED IN ACQUIRING SERVICES DIVISION FROM RELATED PARTY
The Services Division companies do not qualify as "businesses" for purposes
of applying APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the
excess of the aggregate value of the securities issued ($233,708,000) over the
fair value of the net tangible assets acquired ($75,264,000) has been recorded
as "Costs incurred in acquiring Services Division from related party"
($158,444,000) in Security Capital's 1995 Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
52
<PAGE>
MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests decreased $10.4 million, from $15.2 million in 1994 to
$4.8 million in 1995, primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of SCI and
PACIFIC.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1996.
CAPITAL DIVISION INVESTMENTS
Dividends Received
Security Capital's dividends received increased $2.0 million, or 7%, from
$26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $28.8 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Equity in earnings of less than 50% owned investees
Security Capital's share of SCI's earning increased 32% from $5.7 million to
$7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of
distribution space owned and leased by SCI (82.7 million square feet at March
31, 1997 compared to 65.1 million square feet at March 31, 1996) and increased
rental rates on renewal leases for previously occupied space, and was partly
offset by a small decrease in SCI's occupancy level (91.1% as of March 31,
1997 compared to 94.1% at March 31, 1996). At March 31, 1997 and 1996,
Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of SCI
was 44% and 48%, respectively.
Security Capital's share of PTR's earnings increased 97% from $7.4 million
for the first three months of 1997 to $14.6 million for the first three months
of 1997. This increase was attributable to a slight net increase in the number
of multifamily properties owned by PTR (40,874 operating units at March 31,
1997 compared to 38,970 operating units at March 31, 1996), interest income on
the Homestead convertible mortgage notes and gains of $25.3 million on sales
of properties in the first quarter of 1997. At March 31, 1997 and 1996,
Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of PTR
was 36% and 38%, respectively.
Security Capital's share of Security Capital USREALTY's earnings increased
substantially from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to
$16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Security Capital
USREALTY effectively commenced its investment activities in October 1995, and
at March 31, 1996, Security Capital USREALTY had investments at cost of
approximately $185 million with a fair market value of approximately $191
million. At March 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had investments at a
cost of $1.50 billion with a fair market value of $1.78 billion. Unrealized
appreciation on Security Capital USREALTY's investments were $27.1 million and
$4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In addition, Security Capital USREALTY recorded net investment income of $16.1
million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. At March 31, 1997 and 1996, Security Capital's ownership
interest in the outstanding common stock of Security Capital USREALTY was 37%
and 39%, respectively.
RENTAL OPERATIONS--FROM GREATER THAN 50% OWNED CONSOLIDATED INVESTEES
Rental Revenues
Rental revenues increased $19.9 million, or 65%, from $30.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $50.7 million for the same period in
1997. This increase was attributable to an increase in the number of
multifamily units owned and operated by ATLANTIC (19,241 operating units at
March 31, 1997 compared to 16,159 operating units at March 31, 1996), coupled
with stable occupancies (approximately 95%) for the first quarter of both 1997
and 1996. This resulted in an $8.9 million increase in rental revenues between
the quarter periods. Also accounting for part of the increase in rental
revenues is the consolidation of Homestead after the spin-off transaction
completed on October 17, 1996 by Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR of their
extended-stay lodging assets. Homestead generated $11.0 million in revenues
for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
53
<PAGE>
Other Income, Net
Other income consists of interest and miscellaneous income of $1.4 million
and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The majority of the increase in other income is due to the
formation of SC-ERF. Security Capital's equity in earnings of SC-ERF amounted
to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and was included in
other income.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses increased by $6.9 million, or 58%, to $18.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $11.8 million for the same period in
1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the number of
ATLANTIC's operating multifamily communities discussed previously. ATLANTIC's
rental expenses increased $2.1 million (excluding REIT and property management
fees) in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996.
Homestead's rental expenses were $4.8 million for the first quarter of 1997.
SERVICES DIVISION
Revenues
Services Division revenues increased from $15.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 to $23.0 million for the same period in 1997. The
increase of $7.6 million in Services Division revenues in 1997 as compared to
1996 was primarily attributable to growth in operations at each of the
Company's non-consolidated investees. In particular, advisory revenues from
Security Capital USREALTY increased $4.5 million and financial services
revenues earned from SCI and PTR increased the remaining $2.9 million.
Expenses
Services Division expenses increased by $4.9 million, or 25%, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, to $24.3 million from $19.4 million for the same
period in 1996. This increase results from the expansion of the Services
Division, including the hiring of additional professionals primarily for the
REIT and property management companies.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $8.8 million
and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Of those amounts, $7.9 million and $4.8 million represented
depreciation and amortization from rental operations for those same periods in
1997 and 1996, respectively. Depreciation for ATLANTIC increased $1.3 million
to $6.1 million for the first quarter of 1997 from $4.8 million for the first
quarter of 1996, an increase of 27%, due to the increase in the number of
operating multifamily communities between those quarter periods. Depreciation
for Homestead was $1.8 million for the three months period ended March 31,
1997. The remaining depreciation and amortization of $0.9 million and $0.7
million in 1997 and 1996, respectively, is attributable to the Services
Division and the administrative support functions, representing an increase of
$0.2 million over such depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of
1996. The increase of $0.2 million between 1997 and 1996 is primarily a result
of depreciation on additional furniture, fixtures and equipment.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expenses on the Convertible Debentures increased $4.4 million or
20% to $26.7 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared to $22.3 million
for the same period in 1996. The increase is attributable to the receipt of
the subscriptions of the 2016 Convertible Debentures from a private placement
offering completed in March, 1996, which totalled $323 million.
54
<PAGE>
Interest expense on other obligations decreased by $0.4 million from the
first quarter of 1996 to the same period in 1997, largely due to Homestead's
increased construction and development activity which resulted in additional
interest capitalization in the first quarter of 1997.
GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND OTHER
General, administrative and other expenses increased by $6.1 million, or 160%
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, to $10.0 million from $3.9 million
for the same period in 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the
consolidation of Homestead's accounts in 1997 ($2.8 million) as well as
additional personnel and related costs and professional fees applicable to (a)
expansion of the Services Division and (b) enhancing information systems, human
resources and other administrative support functions.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1997 was primarily
attributable to deferred income taxes on the equity in earnings of Security
Capital USREALTY. During the first quarter of 1996, Security Capital had net
deferred tax assets (primarily net operating losses) that were completely
offset by a valuation allowance. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was
recorded for the three months period ended March 31, 1996.
MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests increased from $1.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 due to
increased earnings at ATLANTIC and Homestead, coupled with an increase in
minority ownership interests in ATLANTIC in conjunction with its initial public
offering in October 1996 and the spin-off of Homestead which also occurred in
October 1996.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
On April 1, 1996, Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock to a single investor. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a
7.5% preferential cash dividend rate, payable when and if authorized by the
Board quarterly in arrears. Security Capital paid $2.6 million in dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
OVERVIEW
Security Capital's investment activities consist primarily of the investment
in the common shares of its Capital Division investees and capital expenditures
relating to expansion of its Services Division business. The investment
activities of Security Capital's operating companies consist primarily of the
acquisition and development of real estate. Security Capital has historically
financed its investment activities primarily through the sale of stock and
debentures in private placements and borrowings under its line of credit.
Based on Security Capital's current level of operations and anticipated
growth as a result of pending new business initiatives, Security Capital
expects that cash flows from operations (including dividends and fees received
from its operating companies), the proceeds of the Offering and the exercise of
Warrants and funds currently available under its $300 million revolving line of
credit will be sufficient to enable Security Capital to satisfy its anticipated
requirements for operating and investing activities for the next twelve months.
Security Capital intends to finance its long-term business activities
(including investments in new business initiatives) through the proceeds of the
Offering and the exercise of Warrants, borrowings under an expanded line of
credit and the exercise of the Warrants to be issued as described below. In
addition, the Company anticipates that its operating companies will separately
finance their activities through cash flow from operations, sales of equity and
debt securities and the incurrence of mortgage debt or line of credit
borrowings.
55
<PAGE>
Concurrent with the Warrant Issuance, Security Capital has registered to
sell $250 million of Class B Shares to the public in the Offering.
Security Capital's consolidated investees have undertaken the following
recent financing activities:
. In May 1997, ATLANTIC completed an $87 million (gross proceeds) equity
offering to finance development and acquisition plans for 1997.
Additionally, cash on hand, borrowings under its $350 million line of
credit and securities offerings are expected to provide the remaining
source of capital for ATLANTIC's financing needs.
. Homestead plans a development program for its extended-stay lodging
properties which will be financed primarily through its funding
commitment agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC, which agreements will
provide up to $129 million and $111 million, respectively, in financing,
as well as through outstanding warrants to purchase approximately $51
million of Homestead common stock outstanding as of March 31, 1997 (if
such warrants are exercised). Homestead is currently negotiating a
revolving line of credit and is considering securities offerings to
provide additional sources of capital to meet its financing needs.

consummated the merger transactions described under "Relationship with
Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction." Since ATLANTIC

consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996.
With respect to the transaction between PTR and Homestead, Homestead

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of all or any part
of the shares of ATLANTIC's common stock owned by Security Capital.
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will amend and
restate the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement (as so amended and restated, the
"ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement"), which will provide that, without first
having consulted with the nominees of Security Capital designated in writing,
ATLANTIC may not seek Board of Directors approval of (i) ATLANTIC's annual
budget; (ii) the incurrence of expenses in any year exceeding (a) any line
item in the annual budget by the greater of $500,000 or 20% and (b) the total

entering into of any new contract with a service provider (a) for investment
management, property management or leasing services or (b) that reasonably
contemplates annual contract payments by ATLANTIC in excess of $1 million.
ATLANTIC is under no obligation to accept or comply with any advice offered by
Security Capital with respect to the foregoing matters.
Additionally, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 25% of
the common shares of ATLANTIC, Security Capital will have the right to approve
the following matters proposed by ATLANTIC: (i) the issuance or sale of any
common shares, (including the grant of any rights, options or warrants to
subscribe for or purchase common shares or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for common shares or the issuance or sale of any security
convertible into or exchangeable for common shares) at a price per share less
than the fair market value of a common share on the date of such issuance or
sale; (ii) the issuance and sale of any disqualified shares (as defined) if,
as a result thereof, ATLANTIC's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) would
be less than 1.4 to 1.0; (iii) the adoption of any employee benefit plan
pursuant to which shares of ATLANTIC or any securities convertible into shares
of ATLANTIC may be issued and any action with respect to the compensation of
the senior officers of ATLANTIC (including the granting or award of any
bonuses or share-based incentive awards); and (iv) the incurrence of any
additional indebtedness (including guarantees and including renegotiations and
restructurings of existing indebtedness) if, as a result thereof, ATLANTIC's
Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 2.0 to 1.0.
The restriction referred to in clause (i) above does not apply to (A) the sale
or grant of any options to purchase shares of ATLANTIC pursuant to the
provisions of any benefit plan approved by the shareholders of ATLANTIC, (B)
the issuance or sale of shares upon the exercise of any rights, options or
warrants granted, or upon the conversion or exchange of any convertible or
exchangeable security issued or sold, prior to the closing date of the Mergers
or in accordance with the provisions of the ATLANTIC Amended Investor
Agreement, (C) the issuance and sale of any shares of ATLANTIC pursuant to any

of Directors or (D) the issuance, grant of distribution of rights, options or

The ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement will also provide that, so long as
Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding common shares, ATLANTIC
may not increase the number of persons serving on the ATLANTIC Board of
Directors to more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled to
designate one or more persons as directors of ATLANTIC, as follows: (i) so
long as Security Capital owns at least 10% but less than 25% of the
outstanding common shares, it is entitled to nominate one person; and (ii) so
long as Security Capital owns at least 25% of the outstanding common shares,
it is entitled to nominate that number of persons as shall bear approximately
the same ratio to the total number of members of the ATLANTIC Board of
Directors as the number of common shares beneficially owned by Security
Capital bears to the total number of outstanding common shares, provided, that
Security Capital shall be entitled to designate no more than three persons so
long as the ATLANTIC Board of Directors consists of no more than seven
members.
As part of the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement, Security Capital may
make employment opportunities with Security Capital or its affiliates
available to the officers and employees of ATLANTIC. Prior
61
<PAGE>
to commencing discussions with a senior officer of ATLANTIC about any such
opportunity, Security Capital must give the ATLANTIC Board of Directors 14
days' prior written notice.
In addition, the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement provides Security
Capital with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified
circumstances, Security Capital may request at any time, registration of all
of Security Capital's common shares pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act. Security Capital may request one such registration for every $100 million
(based on market value) of common shares of ATLANTIC it owns.
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into
an administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide ATLANTIC with certain administrative and other services with respect
to certain aspects of ATLANTIC's business, as selected from time to time by
ATLANTIC at its option. These services are expected to include, but are not
limited to, payroll and tax administration services, cash management and
accounts payable services, data processing and other computer services, human
resources, research, investor relations, insurance administration and legal
administration. The fees payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security
Capital's cost of providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum
amount of approximately $5.2 million during the initial term of the agreement,
of which approximately $1.5 million will apply to the period between the
closing of the Mergers and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to
1998. Cost savings under this agreement will accrue to ATLANTIC. The agreement
will be for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be
automatically renewed for consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a
majority of the independent members of the ATLANTIC Board of Directors.
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into
a license agreement pursuant to which Security Capital will grant ATLANTIC a
non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's registered logo and the non-
exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital." The term of the license
will be for a period of 15 years, subject to ATLANTIC's right to extend the
license for up to two additional five-year periods.
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into
a protection of business agreement (the "ATLANTIC Protection of Business
Agreement"), which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from
providing, anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly,
substantially the same services as those currently provided by the ATLANTIC
REIT Manager and the ATLANTIC Property Manager to any entity that owns or
operates multifamily properties. The ATLANTIC Protection of Business Agreement
does not prohibit Security Capital or its affiliates from owning the
securities of any class of ATLANTIC or PTR. The ATLANTIC Protection of
Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or
indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security Capital or any of its
affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting in concert), other than
Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the greater of (i) 25% or more
of the outstanding shares of voting securities of ATLANTIC and (ii) the
percentage of outstanding voting securities of ATLANTIC owned directly or
indirectly by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case without the
prior written consent of the ATLANTIC Board of Directors. Subject to earlier
termination pursuant to the preceding sentence, the ATLANTIC Protection of
Business Agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing date
of the Mergers.
ATLANTIC Development Agreements
ATLANTIC and certain affiliates of Hanover Realty Services Inc. ("Hanover")
are parties to several development agreements, in connection with the
acquisition and development of six properties located in North Carolina. In
consideration for Hanover's development of these properties, the development
agreements provide
62
<PAGE>
that ATLANTIC will make certain earnest payments to Hanover either in the form
of cash, shares of ATLANTIC's common stock or shares of Security Capital's
common stock, as determined in the sole discretion of Hanover. The amount of
such payments shall be determined on a per site basis and shall be a
percentage of the amount by which annualized net operating income exceeds the
total actual project costs. In February 1997, Hanover was paid $800,000 with
respect to one community. The aggregate amount of such earnout amounts for the
five remaining communities cannot exceed $5.8 million. Hanover was not
entitled to receive any earnout payment at May 31, 1997 on the five remaining
communities.
HOMESTEAD
Homestead Transaction
In January 1996, Security Capital began considering ways for ATLANTIC, PTR
and Security Capital to maximize shareholder value with respect to their
Homestead Village properties and operations. In May 1996, ATLANTIC, PTR,
Security Capital and Homestead entered into a merger agreement, pursuant to
which each of ATLANTIC, PTR and Security Capital agreed to contribute, through
a series of merger transactions, all of their respective assets relating to
Homestead Village properties to Homestead, and ATLANTIC and PTR agreed to
enter into certain funding commitment agreements. ATLANTIC's and PTR's
respective shareholders approved the Homestead transaction on September 13,
1996 and September 12, 1996, respectively, and the closing of the Homestead
transaction occurred on October 17, 1996, which resulted in (i) ATLANTIC (a)
owning 4,201,220 shares of Homestead common stock, (b) owning 2,818,517
warrants each to purchase one share of Homestead common stock at $10 per
share, (c) agreeing to provide up to $111.1 million of mortgage financing to

each to purchase one share of Homestead common stock at $10 per share.
ATLANTIC and PTR both distributed the Homestead common stock and warrants
which each received to their respective shareholders pro rata in the Homestead
transaction on November 12, 1996 to shareholders of record on October 29,
1996. Each holder of record of a share of ATLANTIC's common stock received
0.110875 shares of Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase 0.074384
shares of Homestead common stock and each holder of record of a share of PTR's
common shares received 0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock and warrants
to purchase 0.084326 shares of Homestead common stock. As a result of the
Homestead transaction, including the distributions by each of ATLANTIC and
PTR, Security Capital owned 9,894,401 shares of Homestead common stock and
warrants to purchase 4,730,022 shares of Homestead common stock. As of March
31, 1997, Security Capital had purchased in the open market warrants to
purchase 1,420,700 shares of Homestead common stock and has exercised warrants
to purchase 3,250,000 shares of Homestead common stock, and as a result, as of

Protection of Business Agreement
ATLANTIC, PTR and Security Capital entered into a protection of business
agreement with Homestead, dated as of October 17, 1996 (the "Homestead
Protection of Business Agreement"), which prohibits ATLANTIC, PTR and Security
Capital, and their respective affiliates, from engaging, directly or
indirectly, in the extended-stay lodging business except through Homestead and
its subsidiaries. The agreement also prohibits Homestead from, directly or
indirectly, engaging in the ownership, operation, development, management or
leasing of multifamily communities. The agreement does not prohibit ATLANTIC,
PTR or Security Capital from: (i) owning securities of Homestead; (ii) owning
up to 5% of the outstanding securities of another person engaged in owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties,
so long as it does not actively participate in the business of such person;
(iii) owning the outstanding securities of another person, a majority-owned
subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in
owning,
63
<PAGE>
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties,
so long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues are derived
from such properties; and (iv) owning securities of another person primarily
engaged in a business other than owning, operating, developing, managing or
leasing extended-stay lodging properties, including a person primarily engaged
in business as an owner, operator or developer of hotel properties, whether or
not such person owns, operates, develops, manages or leases extended-stay
lodging properties. The agreement does not prohibit Homestead from: (i) owning
securities of ATLANTIC, PTR or Security Capital; (ii) owning up to 5% of the
outstanding securities of another person engaged in owning, operating,
developing, managing or leasing multifamily communities; and (iii) owning the
outstanding securities of another person, a majority-owned subsidiary,

Capital or any of their respective affiliates), by any person (or group of
associated persons acting in concert), other than ATLANTIC, PTR or Security
Capital or their respective affiliates, of 25% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of Homestead, without the prior written consent of Homestead's
Board of Directors. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Homestead Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on
October 17, 2006.
Homestead Investor Agreement
Homestead and Security Capital have entered into an investor agreement (the
"Homestead Investor Agreement"), dated as of October 17, 1996, which requires
Security Capital, upon notice from Homestead, to exercise all of the warrants
to purchase shares of Homestead common stock (at an exercise price of $10 per
share) owned by Security Capital. Homestead may call for the exercise of such
warrants by Security Capital upon 10 days' prior written notice. The Homestead
Investor Agreement, among other things, provides that, without having first
consulted with the nominee of Security Capital designated in writing,
Homestead may not seek Homestead Board of Directors' approval of (i)
Homestead's annual budget, (ii) the incurrence of expenses in any year
exceeding (A) any line item in the annual budget by 20% and (B) the total
expenses set forth in the annual budget by 5%, (iii) acquisitions or
dispositions in a single transaction or group of related transactions where
the aggregate purchase price paid or received exceeds $5 million, (iv) new
contracts with a service provider (A) for investment management, property
management or leasing services or (B) that reasonably contemplates annual
contract payments by Homestead in excess of $200,000, (v) the declaration or
payment of any dividend or other distribution, (vi) the approval of stock
option plans, (vii) the offer or sale of any shares of stock of Homestead or
any securities convertible into shares of stock of Homestead (other than the
sale or grant of any stock or grants of options or exercise of options granted
under any benefit option plan approved by stockholders) and (viii) the
incurrence, restructuring, renegotiation or repayment of indebtedness for
borrowed money in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds $5 million. The
Homestead Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as Security Capital
owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Homestead's common stock,
Homestead may not increase the number of persons serving on the Homestead
Board of Directors to more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled
to designate one or more persons as directors of Homestead, as follows: (i) so
long as Security Capital owns at least 10% but less than 30% of the
outstanding shares of Homestead's common stock, it is entitled to nominate one
person and (ii) so long as Security Capital owns at least 30% of the
outstanding shares of Homestead's common stock, it is entitled to nominate
that number of persons as shall bear approximately the same ratio to the total
number of members of the Homestead Board of Directors as the number of shares
of Homestead common stock beneficially owned by Security Capital bears to the
total number of outstanding shares of Homestead common stock, provided that
Security Capital shall be entitled to designate no more than two persons so
long as the Homestead Board of Directors consists of no more than seven
members. Any person who is employed by Security Capital or who is an employee,
a 25% shareholder or a director of any corporation of which Security Capital
is a 25% shareholder (except for Homestead) shall be deemed to be a designee
of Security Capital.
In addition, the Homestead Investor Agreement provides Security Capital with
registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified circumstances,
Security Capital may request, at any time after October 22, 1997,
64
<PAGE>
and on not more than three occasions, registration pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act of all of the shares of Homestead's common stock owned by
Security Capital.
Homestead Escrow Agreement
Pursuant to an escrow agreement dated October 17, 1996 (the "Escrow
Agreement") among Homestead, Security Capital and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "Escrow Agent"), a portion of the shares of Homestead common
stock issuable to Security Capital as part of the Homestead transaction
described above was placed in an escrow account maintained with the Escrow
Agent. In general, as PTR and ATLANTIC advance funds to Homestead in
accordance with the terms of their respective funding commitment agreements
with Homestead, a portion of the shares of Homestead's common stock in the
escrow account will be released to Security Capital, together with a
proportionate amount of accrued dividends, if any. On January 1, 2000, unless
all of the shares of Homestead's common stock placed in the escrow account
have been released to Security Capital sooner in accordance with the
provisions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will release to Homestead
all of the shares of Homestead's common stock remaining in the escrow account.
All dividends or other distributions paid by Homestead in respect of the
shares of Homestead's common stock held in the escrow account shall be
retained by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the party to whom the related
shares of Homestead's common stock are ultimately issued. The Escrow Agent
will vote all shares of Homestead's common stock held in the escrow account
proportionately in accordance with the vote of all other Homestead
shareholders as instructed by Homestead. In the event that instructions are
not received, the Escrow Agent will not vote such shares. As of May 31, 1997,
1,671,929 shares of Homestead common stock remain in the escrow account.
Homestead Administrative Services Agreement
Homestead has entered into an administrative services agreement with
Security Capital (the "Homestead Administrative Services Agreement"), pursuant
to which Security Capital, through SCGroup, provides Homestead with
administrative services with respect to certain aspects of Homestead's
business. These services include, but are not limited to, insurance
administration, accounts payable administration, internal audit, cash
management, human resources, management information systems, tax and legal
administration, research, shareholder communications and investor relations.
The fees payable to Security Capital are based on Security Capital's cost of
the services provided plus an additional 20%. Any arrangements under the
Homestead Administrative Services Agreement for the provision of services are
required to be commercially reasonable and on terms not less favorable than
those which could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The Homestead
Administrative Services Agreement expires on December 31, 1997 and is
automatically renewed for successive one-year terms, subject to approval by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Homestead Board of Directors of
the annual compensation payable to Security Capital for services rendered to
Homestead. Homestead paid fees to Security Capital for administrative services
of $525,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $375,000 for the
period from October 17, 1996 (the spin-off date) to December 31, 1996.
PTR
Merger and Public Offerings
On December 6, 1994, PTR entered into a merger agreement with PACIFIC and
Security Capital, providing for the merger (the "PTR Merger") of PACIFIC with
and into PTR. The PTR Merger was consummated on March 23, 1995 with 80.7% of
PTR's common shares being voted in favor of the PTR Merger. Pursuant to the
PTR Merger, each then outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock was converted
into the right to receive 0.611 PTR common shares. Security Capital was the
principal stockholder of PACIFIC prior to the PTR Merger, having owned
approximately 97.6% of PACIFIC's common stock outstanding at the time of the
PTR Merger. Security Capital's PACIFIC common stock was converted into
8,266,112 PTR common shares pursuant to the terms of the PTR Merger. In
addition, William D. Sanders, the Chairman of Security Capital, and William G.
Myers and John C. Schweitzer, both trustees of PTR, received 9,165, 9,165 and
7,637 PTR common shares,
65
<PAGE>
respectively, upon conversion of their PACIFIC common stock pursuant to the
terms of the PTR Merger. Upon consummation of the PTR Merger, PTR changed its
name from "Property Trust of America" to "Security Capital Pacific Trust."
PTR REIT Management Agreement
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "PTR REIT Manager") is owned by
Security Capital. All officers of PTR are employees of the PTR REIT Manager
and PTR has no employees. Pursuant to a REIT management agreement (the "PTR
REIT Management Agreement"), the PTR REIT Manager provides both strategic and
day-to-day management to PTR, including research, investment analysis,
acquisition and development services, asset management, capital markets
services, disposition of assets and legal and accounting services. The PTR
REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of $855,000
plus 16% of cash flow (as defined in the PTR REIT Management Agreement) in
excess of $4,837,000. The PTR REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per
year on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments. PTR is
obligated to reimburse the PTR REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred by
the PTR REIT Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, primarily
including third party legal, accounting and similar fees paid on behalf of
PTR, and travel expenses incurred in seeking financing, property acquisitions,
property sales, property development, attendance at trustee and shareholder
meetings and similar activities on behalf of PTR. The PTR REIT Management
Agreement is renewable by PTR annually, subject to a determination by the
independent trustees that the PTR REIT Manager's performance has been
satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the PTR REIT Manager is
fair. Each of PTR and the PTR REIT Manager may terminate the PTR REIT
Management Agreement on 60 days' notice. For the three months ended March 31,
1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the PTR REIT
Manager earned REIT management fees totalling $4.6 million, $22.2 million,
$20.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively. This agreement will be
terminated upon the closing of the Mergers and all employees of the PTR REIT
Manager will become employees of PTR.
PTR Property Management
At May 31, 1997, SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"),
as property manager for most of PTR's multifamily communities, managed
approximately 93.9% of PTR's operating multifamily units, with the balance in
various stages of transition to SCG Realty Services' management. Security
Capital owns SCG Realty Services. Rates for services performed by SCG Realty
Services are subject to annual approval by PTR's independent trustees (who
receive an annual review of fees paid for similar services from an independent
third party). During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, PTR paid aggregate fees of $2.7 million,
$9.7 million, $7.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, to SCG Realty
Services. This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of the Mergers
and all employees of SCG Realty Services will become employees of PTR.
PTR Investor Agreement
Pursuant to various agreements, as amended, between PTR and Security Capital
(the "PTR Investor Agreement"), Security Capital is entitled to designate
three persons to be nominated for election to the PTR Board of Trustees. So
long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 10% of PTR's common
shares, PTR is prohibited from increasing the number of members of the PTR
Board of Trustees to more than seven. Additionally, the PTR Investor
Agreement, among other things, requires PTR to obtain Security Capital's
approval of (i) the annual operating budget and substantial deviations
therefrom, (ii) contracts for investment management, property management or
leasing services or that contemplate annual payments in excess of $100,000 and
(iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single transaction or a group of
related transactions where the purchase or sale price exceeds $5 million. The
PTR Investor Agreement also provides certain registration rights to Security
Capital in respect of PTR's common shares beneficially owned by Security
Capital.
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will amend and
restate the PTR Investor Agreement such that it will be substantially similar
to the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement described above
66
<PAGE>
except: (i) it will restrict the ability of Security Capital (or a group of
which it is a member) from acquiring in excess of 49% of PTR's common shares
subject to certain exceptions and (ii) it will permit PTR to increase the size
of the PTR Board of Trustees to eight members.
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into an
administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide PTR with certain administrative and other services with respect to
certain aspects of PTR's business, as selected from time to time by PTR at its
option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to,
payroll and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable
services, data processing and other computer services, human resources,
research, investor relations, insurance administration and legal
administration. The fees payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security
Capital's cost of providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum
amount of approximately $7.7 million during the initial term of the agreement,
of which approximately $2.2 million will apply to the period between closing
of the Mergers and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998.
Cost savings under this agreement will accrue to PTR. The agreement will be
for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically
renewed for consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of
the independent members of the PTR Board of Trustees.
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into a
license agreement (the "PTR License Agreement") pursuant to which Security
Capital will grant PTR a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's
registered logo and the non-exclusive right to use the name "Security
Capital." The term of the license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to
PTR's right to extend the license for up to two additional five-year periods.
As part of the PTR License Agreement, Security Capital will agree that, during
the term of the agreement, it will not exercise its rights under the PTR
Declaration of Trust to cause PTR to change its name.
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into a
protection of business agreement (the "PTR Protection of Business Agreement"),
which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from providing,
anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly, substantially the
same services as those currently provided by the PTR REIT Manager and the PTR
Property Manager to any entity that owns or operates multifamily properties.
The PTR Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit Security Capital or
its affiliates from owning the securities of any class of PTR or ATLANTIC. The
PTR Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security
Capital or any of its affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting
in concert), other than Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the
greater of (i) 25% or more of the outstanding shares of voting securities of
PTR and (ii) the percentage of outstanding voting securities of PTR owned
directly or indirectly by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case
without the prior written consent of the PTR Board of Trustees. Subject to
earlier termination pursuant to the preceding sentence, the PTR Protection of
Business Agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing date
of the Mergers.
PTR Development Services
PTR owns all of the preferred stock of PTR Development Services Incorporated
("PTR Development Services"), which entitles PTR to 95% of the net operating
cash flow of PTR Development Services. Security Capital owned all of the
common stock of PTR Development Services during 1995. Effective as of January
1, 1996, Security Capital transferred such common stock to an unaffiliated
trust. The common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net
operating cash flow. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year
ended December 31, 1996, PTR made mortgage loans to PTR Development Services
in an aggregate amount of $19.2 million and $18.8 million, respectively, for
the purchase of land for multifamily development.
67
<PAGE>
Owning land through PTR Development Services provides greater flexibility for
the use of such land and the disposition of excess parcels. PTR expects to
make similar loans to PTR Development Services in 1997. The aggregate amount
of such loans will vary depending upon the volume of development activity.
SCI
SCI REIT Management Agreement
Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "SCI REIT Manager") is owned
by Security Capital. All officers of SCI are employees of the SCI REIT Manager
and SCI has no employees. Pursuant to a REIT management agreement (the "SCI
REIT Management Agreement"), the SCI REIT Manager provides both strategic and
day-to-day management, research, investment analysis, acquisition and due
diligence, development, marketing, asset management, capital markets,
disposition of assets, management information systems support and legal and
accounting services. The SCI REIT Management Agreement requires SCI to pay a
base annual fee of approximately 16% of cash flow as defined in the SCI REIT
Management Agreement. The SCI REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.20% per
year on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments. SCI is
obligated to reimburse the SCI REIT Manager for all expenses incurred by the
SCI REIT Manager on behalf of SCI relating to SCI's operations, primarily
including third-party legal, accounting, property development and similar fees
paid on behalf of SCI, and travel expenses incurred in seeking financing,
property acquisitions, property sales, attendance at SCI Board of Trustees and
shareholder meetings and similar activities on behalf of SCI. The SCI REIT
Management Agreement is renewable annually by SCI, subject to a determination
by the independent trustees that the SCI REIT Manager's performance has been
satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the SCI REIT Manager is
fair. Each of SCI and the SCI REIT Manager may terminate the SCI REIT
Management Agreement on 60 days' notice. For the three months ended March 31,
1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the SCI REIT
Manager earned REIT management fees of $6.6 million, $21.5 million, $14.2
million and $8.7 million, respectively, pursuant to the SCI REIT Management
Agreement. This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of the Mergers
and all employees of the SCI REIT Manager will become employees of SCI.
SCI Property Management
SCI Client Services Incorporated ("Client Services"), an affiliate of the
SCI REIT Manager, began providing property management services for certain SCI
properties in January 1994. At May 31, 1997, the Property Manager was
providing property management services in 29 target market cities and was
actively managing 81.1 million square feet, 96.3% of SCI's operating portfolio
of 84.3 million square feet. Rates for services performed by Client Services
range between 1.5% and 3.0% per annum of property revenues and are subject to
annual approval by SCI's independent trustees and are at or below market
rates. SCI may terminate the property management agreements on 60 days'
notice. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996, SCI paid property management fees and leasing commissions
of $3.6 million and $10.1 million to Client Services, respectively, and
reimbursed Client Services for maintenance recovery expenditures collected
from SCI's customers of $506,000 and $1.7 million, respectively. The
Management agreements between SCI and Client Services will be terminated upon
closing of the Mergers, and all employees of Client Services will become
employees of SCI.
SCI Investor Agreement
SCI and Security Capital are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as of
November 18, 1993 (the "SCI Investor Agreement"), which required Security
Capital to invest a minimum of $75 million in SCI's common shares in SCI's
December 1993 private rights offering to shareholders, subject to certain
conditions. The SCI Investor Agreement, among other things, requires SCI to
obtain Security Capital's approval of (i) the annual operating budget and
substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts for investment management,
property management or leasing services or that contemplate annual payments in
excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions
68
<PAGE>
or dispositions in a single transaction or a group of related transactions
where the purchase or sale price exceeds $5 million. The SCI Investor
Agreement also provides that, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at
least 10% of the outstanding SCI common shares, SCI may not increase the size
of its Board of Trustees to more than seven members. Security Capital is
entitled to designate one or more persons for nomination to election as
trustees, and SCI is obligated to use its best efforts to cause the election
of such persons, as follows: (i) so long as Security Capital beneficially owns
at least 10% but less than 20% of the outstanding SCI common shares, it is
entitled to designate two persons; and (ii) so long as Security Capital
beneficially owns at least 20% of the outstanding SCI common shares, it is
entitled to designate three persons. The SCI Investor Agreement also provides
certain registration rights to Security Capital with respect to SCI's common
shares beneficially owned by Security Capital.
As of the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will amend and
restate the SCI Investor Agreement such that it will be substantially similar
to the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement described above.
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into an
administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide SCI with certain administrative and other services with respect to
certain aspects of SCI's business, as selected from time to time by SCI at its
option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to,
payroll and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable
services, data processing and other computer services, human resources,
research, investor relations, insurance administration and legal
administration. The fees payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security
Capital's cost of providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum
amount of approximately $7.1 million during the initial term of the agreement,
of which approximately $2.0 million will apply to the period between the
closing of the Mergers and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to
1998. Cost savings under this agreement will accrue to SCI. The agreement will
be for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically
renewed for consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of
the independent members of the SCI Board of Trustees.
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into a
license agreement (the "SCI License Agreement") pursuant to which Security
Capital will grant SCI a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's
registered logo and the non-exclusive right to use the name "Security
Capital." The term of the license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to
SCI's right to extend the license for up to two additional five-year periods.
As part of the SCI License Agreement, Security Capital will agree that during
the term of the agreement, it will not exercise its rights under the SCI
Declaration of Trust to cause SCI to change its name.
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into a
protection of business agreement (the "SCI Protection of Business Agreement"),
which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from providing,
anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly, substantially the
same services as those currently provided by the SCI REIT Manager and the SCI
Property Manager to any entity that owns or operates distribution properties.
The SCI Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit Security Capital or
its affiliates from owning the securities of any class of SCI. The SCI
Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security
Capital or any of its affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting
in concert), other than Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the
greater of (i) 25% or more of the outstanding shares of voting securities of
SCI and (ii) the percentage of outstanding voting securities of SCI owned
directly or indirectly by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case
without the prior written consent of the SCI Board of Trustees. Subject to
earlier termination pursuant to the preceding sentence, the SCI Protection of
Business Agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing date
of the Mergers.

SCI Development Services
To better serve national companies which are valued SCI customers and enable
SCI to exclusively meet all of their distribution space needs, SCI Development
Services Incorporated ("SCI Development Services") develops for these
customers build-to-suit distribution space facilities which do not meet SCI's
strict investment criteria. SCI will not own these buildings but owns a
preferred stock interest representing 95% of the net operating cash flow of
SCI Development Services. Security Capital owned all of the common stock of
SCI Development Services during 1995. Effective as of January 1, 1996,
Security Capital transferred such common stock to an unaffiliated trust. The
common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net operating cash
flow. Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will realize substantially
all economic benefits of SCI Development Services' activities. Under a
separate agreement, the SCI REIT Manager provides SCI Development Services
with day-to-day management services for a fee based on 16% of SCI Development
Services' pre-tax cash flow plus .20% of the average daily balance of cash
equivalent investments, including gains and losses realized on property sales.
The fee incurred for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $606,000, $1.3 million and
$700,000, respectively (there was no fee incurred in 1994). During the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, SCI earned $5.5 million, $8.5 million, $2.2 million and $17,000,
respectively, in interest income and had $6.9 million, $7.4 million, $1.9
million and $17,000, respectively, in accrued interest receivable from SCI
Development Services. As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, SCI had outstanding $175.7 million, $162.0 million, $31.1 million and
$1.1 million, respectively, of mortgage loans to SCI Development Services for
development and acquisition of distribution facilities. SCI expects to make
similar loans to SCI Development Services in 1997, however, SCI is unable to
quantify the amount of such loans.
SECURITY CAPITAL USREALTY
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 1, 1997 (the "Advisory Agreement"),
Security Capital USREALTY appointed Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
("USREALTY Adviser") as operating advisor to provide Security Capital USREALTY

1.25% of Security Capital USREALTY's assets, excluding investments in Security
Capital securities and investments of short-term cash and cash equivalents.
The fee payable to the USREALTY Adviser is reduced to the extent that the
third-party operating and administrative expenses of Security Capital USREALTY
exceed .25% of assets per annum. The USREALTY Adviser is responsible for
paying all fees of Security Capital Investment Research and Security Capital
Investment Research Group (described below) and any other Security Capital
advisory affiliates for services related to advising Security Capital
USREALTY. The Advisory Agreement is automatically renewable for successive
two-year periods, unless either the USREALTY Adviser, on one hand, or Security
Capital USREALTY and Security Capital Holdings S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Security Capital USREALTY ("USREALTY Holdings"), acting together, on the
other hand, give sixty days' prior written notice that the Advisory Agreement
will not be renewed; provided, however, after the first anniversary date of
the agreement or the first anniversary date of any renewal date, both Security
Capital USREALTY and USREALTY Holdings, acting together, may terminate the
agreement on not less than sixty days' prior written notice to the USREALTY
Adviser. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the USREALTY Adviser received fees of $4.8
million, $8.0 million and $99,000, respectively, pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement.
Sub-Advisory Agreements
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 1, 1997 (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"),
the USREALTY Adviser appointed Security Capital Investment Research
Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital ("Security Capital
Investment Research") as sub-adviser to provide fundamental research,
investment identification, investment due diligence and investment monitoring
services. Pursuant to its Sub-Advisory
70
<PAGE>
Agreement, Security Capital Investment Research receives (i) an annual fee
based on .06% on the aggregate average monthly value of strategic investments
up to $1 billion and .03% on the aggregate average monthly value of strategic
investments in excess of $1 billion, (ii) a one time fee equal to .10% of the
consideration payable each time Security Capital USREALTY makes a strategic
investment, (iii) an annual fee equal to .50% on Security Capital USREALTY's
other investments and (iv) reimbursement of certain expenses. The Sub-Advisory
Agreement expires on July 1, 1999 and is automatically renewable for
successive two-year periods unless the USREALTY Adviser notifies Security
Capital Investment Research that such Sub-Advisory Agreement will not be
renewed; provided, however, after the first anniversary date of the agreement
or at any time during a renewal period, the USREALTY Adviser may terminate
such agreement on not less than sixty days' prior written notice to Security
Capital Investment Research. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital Investment
Research earned $664,000, $1.6 million and $60,000, respectively, pursuant to
the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

As of April 24, 1997, Security Capital and William D. Sanders, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Security Capital, entered into an agreement (the
"Sanders Agreement") under which Security Capital agreed to acquire all the
shares of a corporation owned by Mr. Sanders in exchange for 19,938 Class A
Shares, providing Mr. Sanders increased direct ownership in the Company. The
corporation's sole assets are warrants and options issued to Mr. Sanders
between 1991 and 1993 to purchase an aggregate of 16,143 Class A Shares and
$8,047,303 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into
an aggregate of 7,693 Class A Shares), or a total of 23,836 Class A Shares,
with an aggregate exercise price of approximately $11.3 million. All the
options and warrants are fully vested and expire in 2002. The Company and Mr.
Sanders agreed to use the estimated fair market value of the Class A Shares
between April 1 and April 21, 1997 of $1,205 per share in determining the
value of the 23,836 Class A Shares, which was approximately $28.7 million. The
Sanders Agreement was entered into as an alternative to Mr. Sanders funding
the exercise of the options and warrants with Class A Shares owned by Mr.
Sanders, which was rejected by the Company. Under the Sanders Agreement, the
Company issued $17.4 million of Class A Shares which is equal to the
difference between the total value of the shares issuable ($28.7 million), and
the total exercise price ($11.3 million) for the options and warrants. As
additional consideration in the transaction, the Company issued $6.6 million
of Class A Shares for the value of the holder's ability to defer exercising
the warrants and options until 2002 in accordance with their terms. As a
result, the Company agreed to issue 19,938 Class A Shares with an aggregate
value of $24 million. The transaction will result in a non-cash, non-recurring
charge to earnings of the Company in 1997 of approximately $6.6 million.
On April 24, 1997, SCI, through an affiliate of SCI, acquired the
refrigerated warehouse and distribution operations of Christian Salvesen, Inc.
and related companies located in the United States and Canada for $122.4
million. The acquired companies were subsequently transferred to a new entity,
CS Integrated LLC ("CSI"), which is 60% owned by an affiliate of SCI and 40%
owned by an affiliate of Hunt Financial Corporation. SCI's affiliate paid
approximately $73.4 million for its interest in CSI and the affiliate of Hunt
Financial Corporation paid approximately $49.0 million for its interest in
CSI, with approximately 80% being funded through debt and 20% being funded
through equity capital by each affiliate. Under the terms of its agreement
with Hunt Financial Corporation's affiliate, SCI's affiliate has the option to
increase its ownership interest in CSI to 80% as SCI's affiliate invests
additional equity capital. Hunt Financial Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Hunt Consolidated Inc., which is part of the Hunt family
interests headed by Ray L. Hunt, who is a director of Security Capital.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of terms of the stock of Security Capital does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to Maryland law and to the Charter and Bylaws, copies of which are
filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part.
GENERAL
The authorized stock of Security Capital consists of 250,000,000 shares,
consisting of 20,000,000 Class A Shares, 229,861,000 Class B Shares and
139,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Board may, by articles
supplementary, classify or reclassify any unissued shares of stock from time
to time by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights,
voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other
distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of such
stock. No holder of any class of stock of Security Capital will have any
preemptive right to subscribe for any securities of Security Capital except as
may be granted by the Board pursuant to an agreement between Security Capital
and a shareholder. Under Maryland law, shareholders are generally not liable
for Security Capital's debts or obligations. For a description of certain
provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control, see "Risk Factors--Limitations on Acquisition of Shares and
Change in Control" and "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Security
Capital's Charter and Bylaws."
The transfer agent and registrar for the Shares is The First National Bank
of Boston, 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
COMMON STOCK
The holders of outstanding Class A Shares are entitled to one vote, and the
holders of outstanding Class B Shares are entitled to one two-hundredth
(1/200th) of a vote, for each share held of record on all matters submitted to
a vote of shareholders. Unless otherwise required by Maryland law, the Class A
Shares and the Class B Shares will vote as a single class with respect to all
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of Security Capital, including the
election of directors. Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their
votes in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Class A Shares can elect all of the directors then standing
for election.
Commencing January 1, 1998, each Class A Share may be converted into 50
Class B Shares at the holder's option at any time. Class B Shares are not
convertible into Class A Shares or any other security.
Holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as
may be authorized by the Board out of funds legally available therefor.
Holders of Class B Shares are entitled to dividends equal to one-fiftieth
77
<PAGE>
(1/50th) of the amount per share declared by the Board for each Class A Share.
Dividends with respect to the Class B Shares will be paid in the same form and
at the same time as dividends with respect to the Class A Shares, except that,
in the event of a stock split or stock dividend, holders of Class A Shares
will receive Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares will receive Class B
Shares, unless otherwise specifically designated by resolution of the Board.
Security Capital has no present intention to pay a dividend on Class B Shares
or Class A Shares (which would necessitate a one-fiftieth (1/50th) equivalent
dividend on Class B Shares) in the future.
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Security
Capital, holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares are entitled to share
ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, with holders
of Class B Shares entitled to receive per share one-fiftieth (1/50th) of any
amount per share received by holders of Class A Shares. Neither holders of
Class A Shares or Class B Shares shall have preemptive rights to subscribe for
additional shares of either class. All outstanding Class A Shares are, and all
Class B Shares to be outstanding upon completion of the Offering will be,
fully paid and non-assessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board is empowered by the Charter, without the approval of shareholders,
to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series and to
determine, among other things, the number of preferred shares of each series
and the rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series which may
be senior to the rights of Shares. The issuance of preferred stock could have
the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of
Security Capital and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of
shareholders. Upon completion of the Warrant Issuance and the Offering and
except for the Series A Preferred Stock described below, no shares of
preferred stock will be outstanding and Security Capital has no present plans
to issue any preferred stock following completion of the Warrant Issuance and
the Offering other than as contemplated by the Rights Agreement (as defined
below).
Security Capital currently has outstanding 139,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. Generally, the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to
receive quarterly cumulative cash dividends in an annual amount equal to $75
per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive $1,000 per
share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Security Capital before any
distribution could be made to holders of Class A Shares or Class B Shares.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the
holder, into 0.76184 Class A Shares, subject to customary adjustments to
prevent dilution. In the event that a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock
would be prohibited under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended,
from owning securities constituting or convertible into 5% or more of the
outstanding Class A Shares, then the conversion rights of the shares of Series
A Preferred Stock by such holder shall be modified as follows: (i) the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder which may then be
converted by such holder without resulting in such holder owning 5% or more of
the Class A Shares outstanding after such conversion shall be convertible into
Class A Shares; and (ii) any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such
holder in excess of the number of shares which may then be converted as
described in clause (i) will not be convertible into Class A Shares until such
time as (and only to the extent that) (A) such shares may be converted without
resulting in such holder owning 5% or more of the Class A Shares outstanding
after such conversion or (B) such shares are held by a person not prohibited
from owning securities constituting or convertible into 5% or more of Class A
Shares as described above.
The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable before March 29, 1999. On and
after such date, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in
part, at the option of Security Capital upon not less than 30 days' notice, in
cash at $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. The vote
or consent of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock is necessary (i) to
amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles Supplementary governing
the Series A Preferred Stock in a manner which materially and adversely
affects the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred
Stock or (ii) to authorize, reclassify, create or increase the authorized
amount of any stock of any class (or any security convertible into stock of
any class) ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution
of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or
78
<PAGE>
winding up of Security Capital or in the payment of dividends. The Series A
Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per Class A Share into which the
Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, voting together with the Class A
Shares, on any of the following matters if the Class A Shares are entitled to
vote thereon: (i) an amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions
of the Charter, (ii) a consolidation or merger of Security Capital with or
into another entity or of another entity with or into Security Capital, (iii)
a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Security Capital's assets or
(iv) the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of Security Capital. Also, the
Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one-half vote per Class A Share into
which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible, voting together with
the Class A Shares, on any other matter submitted to a vote of Security
Capital's shareholders.
PURCHASE RIGHTS
On April 21, 1997, the Board declared a dividend of one Purchase Right for
each Share outstanding at the close of business on April 21, 1997 (the "Rights
Record Date") to the holders of Shares of record as of the Rights Record Date.
The dividend was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional
Shares issued after the Rights Record Date and before the redemption or
expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one Shareholder
Purchase Right for each such additional Share. Each Purchase Right entitles
the registered holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from Security
Capital, in the event the underlying share is a Class A Share, one one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share of Security Capital at a price of
$6,000 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. In the event the underlying share is a Class B
Share, the Purchase Right entitles the registered holder under certain
circumstances to purchase from Security Capital one five-thousandth of a
Participating Preferred Share of Security Capital at a price of $120 per one
five-thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share. The description and terms
of the Purchase Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of April
21, 1997 between Security Capital and The First National Bank of Boston, as
rights agent (the "Rights Agreement").
The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earlier to occur of: (1) 10 days following a
public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated
persons, other than Security Capital USREALTY and certain affiliates of
Security Capital, has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the
voting power of the voting equity securities of Security Capital (thereby
becoming an "Acquiring Person") or (2) 15 business days (or such later date as
may be determined by action of the Board prior to such time as any person or
group of affiliated persons becomes an Acquiring Person) following the
commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or
exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial
ownership by a person or group of persons of 25% or more of the voting power
of the voting equity securities of Security Capital (the first to occur of
such dates being called the "Rights Distribution Date"). With respect to any
of the Class A Share or Class B Share certificates outstanding as of the
Rights Record Date, until the Rights Distribution Date the Purchase Rights
will be evidenced by such certificate. Until the Rights Distribution Date (or
earlier redemption or expiration of the Purchase Rights), new certificates
issued after the Rights Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Class A
Shares or Class B Shares will contain a notation incorporating the Rights
Agreement by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board in good
faith determines that a person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person
under the Rights Agreement has become such inadvertently, and such person
divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Class A Shares or
Class B Shares so that such person would no longer be an Acquiring Person,
then such person shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for purposes of
the Rights Agreement.
The Purchase Rights will expire on April 21, 2007 (the "Final Expiration
Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged by Security Capital, in each case as described
below.
The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Participating Preferred Shares
or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Purchase Rights
are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances from time
79
<PAGE>
to time to prevent dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the
Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments require an
adjustment of at least 1% in such Purchase Price.
Participating Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Purchase
Rights will not be redeemable. Each Participating Preferred Share will be
entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly distribution payment of $1 per
share but will be entitled to an aggregate distribution of 100 times the
distribution declared per Class A Share, or if no Class A Shares are
outstanding, 2 times the distribution declared per Class B Share. Each
Participating Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the
Shares. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Participating
Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation
payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 100
times the payment made per Class A Share, or if no Class A Shares are
outstanding, 2 times the payment made per Class B Share. In the event of any
merger, consolidation or other transaction in which Class A Shares or Class B
Shares are exchanged, each Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to
receive 100 times the amount received per Class A Share or Class B Share, as
the case may be. In the event of issuance of Participating Preferred Shares
upon exercise of the Purchase Rights, in order to facilitate trading, a
depositary receipt may be issued for each one one-hundredth or one five-
thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share. The Purchase Rights will be
protected by customary antidilution provisions.
In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares,
as the case may be, having a market value (determined in accordance with the
Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase Price. In lieu of the issuance of
Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as the case may be, upon exercise of
Purchase Rights, the Board may under certain circumstances, and if there is an
insufficient number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as the case may be,
authorized but unissued or held as treasury Shares to permit the exercise in
full of the Purchase Rights, the Board is required to, take such action as may
be necessary to cause Security Capital to issue or pay upon the exercise of
Purchase Rights, cash (including by way of a reduction of purchase price),
property, other securities or any combination of the foregoing having an
aggregate value equal to that of the Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as the
case may be, which otherwise would have been issuable upon the exercise of
Purchase Rights.
In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
Security Capital is acquired in a merger or other business combination
transaction of 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are
sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the
then current Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock of the
acquiring company having a market value (determined in accordance with the
Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase Price.
At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior
to the acquisition by that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding
Class A Shares or Class B Shares, the Board may exchange the Purchase Rights
(other than Purchase Rights owned by that person or group which will have
become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Class A Share
or Class B Share, as the case may be (or one one-hundredth or one five-
thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share as the case may be), per
Purchase Right (subject to adjustment).
As soon as practicable after a Rights Distribution Date, Security Capital is
obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to the securities issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable.
At any time prior to the time a person or group of persons becomes an
Acquiring Person, the Board may redeem the Purchase Rights in whole, but not
in part, at a price of $.01 per Purchase Right (the "Redemption Price")
payable in cash, Shares or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate
by the Board. The redemption of the Purchase Rights may be made effective at
such time, on such basis and with such conditions
80
<PAGE>
as the Board in its sole discretion may establish. Immediately upon the
effectiveness of any redemption of the Purchase Rights, the right to exercise
the Purchase Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of
Purchase Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
The terms of the Purchase Rights may be amended by the Board without the
consent of the holders of the Purchase Rights, except that from and after the
time any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Purchase Rights and in no event shall any such amendment change
the 20% threshold at which a person acquiring beneficial ownership of Class A
Shares or Class B Shares becomes an Acquiring Person.
The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Purchase Rights
will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
Security Capital on terms not approved by its Board, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired.
The Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business
combination approved by the Board since the Purchase Rights may be redeemed by
Security Capital at the Redemption Price prior to the time that a person or
group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting power of
the voting equity securities of Security Capital. The form of Rights Agreement
specifying the terms of the Purchase Rights has been incorporated by reference
into the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase
Rights does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement, including the definitions
therein of certain terms.
WARRANTS
The Warrants are to be issued under a Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant
Agreement") between Security Capital and The First National Bank of Boston, as
Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"), a copy of which has been filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Warrants and the
Warrant Agreement. The summary is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to, all the provisions of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement,
including the definitions therein of certain terms.
General
Each Warrant will entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to and upon
compliance with the provisions thereof and of the Warrant Agreement, at such
holder's option, to purchase one Class B Share at an exercise price (the
"Exercise Price") per share equal to the closing price of the Class B Shares
on the day on which the Warrants are delivered to the Warrant Agent for
subsequent distribution to Securityholders. The number of Class B Shares for
which a Warrant may be exercised is subject to adjustment as set forth in the
Warrant Agreement.
Warrants may be exercised at any time by surrendering the certificate
evidencing such Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates") with the form of
election to purchase Class B Shares set forth on the reverse side thereof duly
completed and executed by the holder thereof and paying in full the Exercise
Price for such Warrant at the office or agency designated for such purpose,
which will initially be the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent in New
York, New York. Each Warrant may be exercised only in whole and the exercise
price may be paid only in cash or by certified or official bank check. The
Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the first anniversary of
the Warrant Issuance Record Date.
The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants may be surrendered for
exercise or exchange, and the transfer of Warrant Certificates will be
registrable, at the office or agency of Security Capital maintained for such
purpose, which initially will be the corporate trust office of the Warrant
Agent in New York, New York. The Warrant Certificates will be issued only in
fully registered form. No service charge will be made for any exercise,
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but Security
Capital may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
81
<PAGE>
Fractional Class B Shares will not be issued upon exercise of Warrants. In
lieu thereof Security Capital will pay a cash adjustment based on the
difference between the Current Market Value (as defined in the Warrant
Agreement) of a Class B Share on the date the Warrant Certificate is
surrendered for conversion and the exercise price of the Warrants.
Holders of Warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being such holders,
to receive dividends, vote, receive notice of any meetings of stockholders or
otherwise have any right of stockholders of Security Capital.
Adjustments
The number of Class B Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant (the
"Exercise Rate") is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events, including (a) dividends or distributions on Class B Shares payable in
Class B Shares or certain other stock of Security Capital; (b) subdivisions,
combinations or certain reclassifications of Class B Shares; (c) distributions
to all holders of Class B Shares of rights, warrants or options entitling them
to subscribe for Class B Shares at a price per share less than 94% of the
Current Market Value at the Time of Determination (each as defined in the
Warrant Agreement); (d) sales by Security Capital of Class B Shares or of
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Class B Shares
(other than pursuant to (1) the exercise of the Warrants (2) any security
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Class B Shares as to
which the issuance thereof has previously been the subject of any required
adjustment pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and (3) the conversion of Class A
Shares into Class B Shares pursuant to their terms) at a price per share less
than the Current Market Value at the Time of Determination; and (e)
distributions to stockholders of assets or debt securities of Security Capital
or certain rights, warrants or options to purchase assets or debt securities
or other securities of Security Capital (excluding cash dividends or other
cash distributions from consolidated retained earnings other than any
Extraordinary Cash Dividend (as defined in the Warrant Agreement)). No
adjustment in the Exercise Rate will be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the Exercise
rate; provided that any adjustment that is not made will be carried forward
and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
If Security Capital is a party to a consolidation or merger, or certain
transfers of all or substantially all of its assets occur, a Warrant shall
automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other assets which the holder of Warrants would have received immediately
after the consolidation, merger or transfer if the holder exercised the
Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction.
In the event of a taxable distribution to holders of Class B Shares which
results in an adjustment to the number of Class B Shares or other
consideration for which a Warrant may be exercised, the holders of the
Warrants may, in certain circumstances, be deemed to have received a
distribution subject to United States Federal income tax.
RESTRICTION ON SIZE OF HOLDINGS OF SHARES
The Charter contains certain restrictions on the number of Shares that
individual shareholders may own. For the operating companies to qualify as
REITs under the Code, no more than 50% of the value of their shares (after
taking into account options to acquire shares) may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities and constructive ownership among specified family members)
during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first taxable year), by
100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a
proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Because certain of the operating
companies are REITs, their respective charters and Security Capital's Charter
contain restrictions on the acquisition of shares intended to ensure
compliance with these requirements.
Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Charter, no holder may own,
or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more
than 9.8% (the "Ownership Limit") of the number or value of the issued and
outstanding shares of Security Capital's stock. The Board, upon receipt of a
ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or an opinion of
counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Board and
82
<PAGE>
upon such other conditions as the Board may direct, may also exempt a proposed
transferee from the Ownership Limit. As a condition of such exemption, the
proposed transferee must give written notice to Security Capital of the
proposed transfer no later than the fifteenth day prior to any transfer which,
if consummated, would result in the intended transferee owning shares of
Security Capital's stock in excess of the Ownership Limit. The Board may
require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it
may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the operating
companies' status as REITs. Any transfer of Shares that would (i) create a
direct or indirect ownership of shares of Security Capital's stock in excess
of the Ownership Limit or (ii) result in a Security Capital investee being
"closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, shall be null
and void ab initio, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the
shares of Security Capital's stock. The foregoing restrictions on
transferability and ownership will not apply if the Board determines, which
determination must be approved by the shareholders, that it is no longer in
the best interests of Security Capital to attempt to, or to continue to,
assist Security Capital's operating companies in qualifying as REITs. The
Charter excludes Security Capital USREALTY (and its transferees) from the
Ownership Limit.
Any shares of Security Capital's stock, the purported transfer of which
would result in a person owning Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or
cause any or all of the operating companies to become "closely held" under
Section 856(h) of the Code, that is not otherwise permitted as provided above
will constitute excess shares ("Excess Shares"), which will be transferred
pursuant to the Charter to a party not affiliated with Security Capital
designated by Security Capital as the trustee of a trust for the exclusive
benefit of an organization or organizations described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A)
and 170(c) of the Code and identified by the Board as the beneficiary or
beneficiaries of the trust (the "Charitable Beneficiary"), until such time as
the Excess Shares are transferred to a person whose ownership will not violate
the restrictions on ownership. While these Excess Shares are held in trust,
they will be entitled to share in any distributions which will be paid to the
trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary and may only be voted by
the trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Subject to the
Ownership Limit, the Excess Shares shall be transferred by the trustee at the
direction of Security Capital to any person (if the Excess Shares would not be
Excess Shares in the hands of such person). The purported transferee will
receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the purported transferee for the
Excess Shares (or, if no consideration was paid, fair market value on the day
of the event causing the Excess Shares to be held in trust) and (ii) the price
received from the sale or other disposition of the Excess Shares held in
trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the purported
transferee will be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. In addition, such
Excess Shares held in trust are subject to purchase by Security Capital for a
90-day period at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid
for the Excess Shares by the purported transferee (or, if no consideration was
paid, fair market value at the time of the event causing the Shares to be held
in trust) and (ii) the fair market value of the Excess Shares on the date
Security Capital elects to purchase. Fair market value, for these purposes,
means the last reported sales price reported on the NYSE on the trading day
immediately preceding the relevant date, or if not then traded on the NYSE,
the last reported sales price on the trading day immediately preceding the
relevant date as reported on any exchange or quotation system over or through
which the relevant class of shares of stock may be traded, or if not then
traded over or through any exchange or quotation system, then the market price
on the relevant date as determined in good faith by the Board.
From and after the purported transfer to the purported transferee of the
Excess Shares, the purported transferee shall cease to be entitled to
distributions, voting rights and other benefits with respect to the Excess
Shares except the right to payment on the transfer of the Excess Shares as
described above. Any distribution paid to a purported transferee on Excess
Shares prior to the discovery by Security Capital that such Excess Shares have
been transferred in violation of the provisions of the Charter shall be
repaid, upon demand, to Security Capital, which shall pay any such amounts to
the trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. If the foregoing
transfer restrictions are determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by
any court of competent jurisdiction, then the purported transferee of any
Excess Shares may be deemed, at the option of Security Capital, to have acted
as an agent on behalf of Security Capital in acquiring such Excess Shares and
to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of Security Capital.
All certificates representing Shares will bear a legend referring to the
restrictions described above.
83
<PAGE>
Each shareholder shall upon demand be required to disclose to Security
Capital in writing such information with respect to the direct, indirect and
constructive ownership of Shares as the Board deems reasonably necessary to
assist its operating companies in complying with the provisions of the Code
applicable to REITs, to determine Security Capital's operating companies
status as REITs, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or
governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover
or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the Shares
might receive a premium for their Shares over the then prevailing market price
or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF SECURITY CAPITAL'S CHARTER AND
BYLAWS
The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and
the Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is
subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and to
the Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD
The Bylaws provide that the number of directors may be established by the
Board but may not be fewer than three nor more than fifteen. Any vacancy will
be filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that
purpose, by a majority of the remaining directors, except that a vacancy
resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be filled by a
majority of the entire Board. Pursuant to the terms of the Charter, the
directors are divided into three classes. One class holds office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998, another
class holds office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders
to be held in 1999 and another class holds office for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class
expires, directors in that class will be elected for a term of three years and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Security Capital believes
that classification of the Board will help to assure the continuity and
stability of Security Capital's business strategies and policies as determined
by the Board.
The classified director provision could have the effect of making the
removal of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult, which could
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of Security Capital, even though such an attempt might be
beneficial to Security Capital and its shareholders. At least two annual
meetings of shareholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect
a change in a majority of the Board. Thus, the classified board provision
could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their
positions.
DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Charter contains
such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law.
The Bylaws provide that Security Capital will, to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, indemnify and pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding
to (a) any individual who is a present or former director or officer of
Security Capital or (b) any individual who, while a director of Security
Capital and at the request of Security Capital, serves or has served another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any
other enterprise as a director,
84
<PAGE>
officer, partner or trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. Security Capital has the
power with the approval of the Board, to provide such indemnification and
advancement of expenses to a person who has served a predecessor of Security
Capital in any of the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any
employee or agent of Security Capital or its predecessors.
Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter requires otherwise,
which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis
that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court
orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, Maryland law
permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer
upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director of
officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (b) a written
statement by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by
the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of
conduct was not met.
Additionally, Security Capital has entered into indemnity agreements with
each of its officers and directors which provide for reimbursement of all
expenses and liabilities of such officer or director, arising out of any
lawsuit or claim against such officer or director due to the fact that he or
she was or is serving as an officer or director, except for such liabilities
and expenses (a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful,
(b) relating to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating
to judicially determined criminal violations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Security
Capital pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Security Capital has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Under Maryland law, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
thereof are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the
Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder. Thereafter, any such
business combination must be recommended by the Board of such corporation and
approved by the affirmative vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to
be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (b)
two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting
shares of the corporation other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder
with whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
things, the corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined
under Maryland law) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash
or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its
shares. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business
85
<PAGE>
combinations that are approved or exempted by the Board of the corporation
prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder.
Security Capital's Charter exempts from these provisions of Maryland law any
business combination with Security Capital USREALTY and its affiliates and
successors. As a result, Security Capital USREALTY and its affiliates and
successors may be able to enter into business combinations with Security
Capital that may not be in the best interests of its stockholders without
compliance by Security Capital with the supermajority vote requirements and
other provisions of the statute.
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation
acquired in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-
third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority of
all voting power. Control Shares do not include shares the acquiring person is
then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder
approval. A "Control Share acquisition" means the acquisition of Control
Shares, subject to certain exceptions.
A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the Board to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held
within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no
request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question
at any stockholders meeting.
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may
redeem any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights
have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to
the absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the
last Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the
voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights
for Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror
becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.
The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.
Security Capital's Bylaws contain a provision exempting Security Capital
USREALTY and its affiliates and successors from the provisions of the Control
Share acquisition statute.
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a stockholder, the Bylaws require such shareholder
to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the
shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all
information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for the election of directors, pursuant to Regulation
14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) as to any other business that the shareholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to
86
<PAGE>
be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii)
as to the shareholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such
shareholder as they appear on Security Capital's books, and of such beneficial
owner and (y) the number of Shares which are owned beneficially and of record
by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any.
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
At May 31, 1997, Security Capital had 1,320,955 Class A Shares issued and
outstanding, which will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a total
of 66,047,750 Class B Shares. After consummation of the Mergers, Security
Capital is expected to have outstanding Warrants to purchase a total of $250
million of Class B Shares (based on the price of the Class B Shares on a date
to be established following completion of the Offering). To the extent such
Warrants are exercised, the Class B Shares may be sold in the public markets
without limitation. Additionally, upon completion of the Offering, Security
Capital will have Class B Shares outstanding. In addition, Security
Capital has 139,000 Series A Preferred Shares outstanding, convertible into a
maximum of 105,896 Class A Shares. Security Capital also has outstanding (i)
approximately $714 million principal amount of its 2014 Convertible
Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of 682,293 Class A Shares, (ii)
approximately $323 million principal amount of its 2016 Convertible
Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of 279,941 Class A Shares, (iii)
warrants to purchase 40,241 Class A Shares and $30,483,000 principal amount of
2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into 29,142 Class A Shares), and (iv)
options to purchase 114,684 Class A Shares and $55,209,000 principal amount of
2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into 52,818 Class A Shares) reserved
for issuance upon exercise of options under Security Capital's employee
benefit plans. All such Class A Shares, except those held by affiliates, and
the Class B Shares into which they may be converted, may be sold in the public
market in the future pursuant to registration rights or available exemptions
from registration. No prediction can be made regarding the effect of future
sales of Class B Shares on the market prices of Class B Shares.
All of the Class B Shares to be issued or sold by Security Capital in the
Offering or upon the exercise of Warrants, other than any Class B Shares
purchased by affiliates, will be tradeable without restriction under the
Securities Act. The Class A Shares currently issued and outstanding or
reserved for issuance upon exercise of options or warrants or conversion of
debentures will be eligible for sale, subject to the volume resale, manner of
sale and notice limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In general,
under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated in accordance
with the Rule) who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least one
year, including any such persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of Security
Capital (as defined in the Securities Act), would be entitled to sell within
any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of
1% of the then outstanding number of shares or the average weekly trading
volume of the shares during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale.
After shares are held for two years, a person who is not deemed an "affiliate"
of Security Capital is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without
regard to the volume limitations described above. Sales of shares by
affiliates will continue to be subject to the volume limitations. As defined
in Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or
indirectly, through the use of one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer.
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
Shares or the availability of Shares for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares
(including Shares issued upon the exercise of options or warrants or
conversion of Convertible Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock), or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of the Shares.
For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of Shares by Security
Capital (and certain of its directors, officers and affiliates), see
"Underwriting."

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences
to Securityholders resulting from receiving, holding and disposing of the
Warrants. To the extent such summary discusses matters of law, it is based
upon the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt. The following discussion is based
upon current provisions of the Code, its legislative history, administrative
pronouncements, judicial decisions and Treasury Regulations, all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The following discussion
does not purport to be a complete discussion of all U.S. federal income tax
considerations resulting from receiving, holding and disposing of the
Warrants. The following discussion does not address the tax consequences from
receiving, holding and disposing of the Warrants under state, local or non-
U.S. tax laws. In addition, the following discussion may not apply, in whole
or in part, to particular categories of Securityholders, such as dealers in
securities, insurance companies, foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations and
financial institutions. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL
INFORMATION ONLY. ALL SECURITYHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS
TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES FROM HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF THE
WARRANTS, INCLUDING ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES.
RECEIPT OF WARRANTS
Security Capital, PTR, SCI, and ATLANTIC have each received a private letter
ruling from the IRS stating that the issuance of the Warrants by Security
Capital to the Securityholders will be treated for federal income tax purposes
as a direct issuance of the Warrants by Security Capital to the
Securityholders, and not as a distribution by PTR, SCI or ATLANTIC.
Accordingly, (i) a Securityholder will have ordinary income upon receipt of a
Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Issuance in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the Warrants received on the Warrant Issuance Date, (ii) a holder's
tax basis in the Warrants received will equal the fair market value of the
Warrants received on the Warrant Issuance Date, and (iii) a holder's holding
period for the Warrants received will begin on the Warrant Issuance Date.
Section 511 of the Code imposes on organizations exempt from federal income
tax under Section 501(a) of the Code a tax at corporate income tax rates on
such organizations' "unrelated business taxable income." In the opinion of
Mayer, Brown & Platt, the receipt by a tax-exempt Securityholder of the
Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance will be treated as unrelated
business taxable income.
SALE, DISPOSITION, EXERCISE OR EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS
In general, upon a sale or other disposition of a Warrant, a holder of
Warrants will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the
amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the Warrant holder's tax
basis in the Warrant. In general, such gain or loss will be a capital gain or
loss if the stock into which the Warrants are exercisable would be a capital
asset in the Warrant holder's hands and will be a short-term capital gain or
loss because the Warrants will expire in one year from the date of issuance.
EXERCISE OF WARRANTS
Except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of
fractional Class B Shares, a Warrant holder will not recognize gain or loss
upon the exercise of a Warrant. A Warrant holder's tax basis in the Class B
Shares received upon exercise of a Warrant will be equal to the sum of (1) the
Warrant holder's tax basis in the Warrant exercised and (2) the exercise price
paid. The holding period of the Class B Shares received upon the exercise of a
Warrant will begin on the date of exercise. Holders receiving cash in lieu of
fractional Class B Shares upon exercise of a Warrant will recognize gain to
the extent that the cash received exceeds the Warrant holder's tax basis in
the portion of the Warrant exercised for cash in lieu of fractional Class B
Shares.
88
<PAGE>
EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTS
If a Warrant holder's Warrants expire without being exercised, the Warrant
Holder will recognize a loss equal to its tax basis in the expired Warrants.
In general, such loss will be a capital loss if the stock into which the
Warrants were exercisable would be a capital asset in the Warrant Holder's
hands and will be a short-term loss because the Warrants will expire in one
year from the date of issuance.
ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION RATIO
The terms of the Warrants distributed pursuant to the Merger Agreements
provide for adjustment of the price for exercise if Security Capital makes
certain distributions of stock, cash or other property to its shareholders.
While Security Capital does not presently contemplate making such a
distribution, if Security Capital makes a distribution of cash or property
resulting in an adjustment to the exercise price, the holders of the Warrants
may be viewed as receiving a "deemed distribution" under Section 305 of the
Code, even if such Warrant holder does not hold any Class B Shares at such
time. The deemed distribution would constitute a taxable dividend, taxable as
ordinary income, to the extent that the earnings and profits of Security
Capital were allocable to the deemed distribution. The amount of the deemed
distribution which exceeded the allocated earnings and profits of Security
Capital would be considered a return of capital, and would reduce the Warrant
holder's tax basis in the Warrants (but not below zero) by the value of the
deemed distribution. To the extent that the value of the deemed distribution
exceeds the Warrant holder's tax basis in its Warrants, the deemed
distribution would result in gain to such Warrant holder. In such event, the
Warrant holder's tax basis in its Warrants would then immediately be increased
by the value of the property deemed to have been distributed.
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF CLASS B SHARES
The following is a summary discussion of certain U.S. federal tax
consequences of the ownership and disposition of Class B Shares by a
beneficial owner of such shares that is not a U.S. person (a "non-U.S.
holder"). To the extent such summary discusses matters of law, it is based
upon the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt. For purposes of this discussion, a
"U.S. person" means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation
or partnership created or organized in the United States or under the law of
the United States or of any State or political subdivision of the foregoing,
any estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes regardless of its source, or a "United States Trust." A United
States Trust is (a) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1996, or if
the trustee of a trust elects to apply the following definition to an earlier
taxable year, any trust if, and only if, (i) a court within the United States
is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust
and (ii) one or more U.S. fiduciaries have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust, and (b) for all other taxable years, any
trust whose income is includible in gross income for United States Federal
income tax purposes regardless of its source. This discussion does not deal
with all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be
relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances, and
does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations. Furthermore, the
following discussion is based on provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations as of
the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. Treasury Regulations were recently proposed that would, if adopted in
their present form, revise in certain respects the rules applicable to non-
U.S. holders of Class B Shares (the "Proposed Regulations"). The Proposed
Regulations are generally proposed to be effective with respect to payments
made after December 31, 1997. It is not certain whether, or in what form, the
Proposed Regulations will be adopted as final regulations. Each prospective
investor is urged to consult its own tax adviser with respect to the
particular U.S. federal, state and local consequences to it of owning and
disposing of Class B Shares, as well as any tax consequences arising under the
laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
89
<PAGE>
U.S. INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES
Although Security Capital does not currently intend to pay dividends on
either its Class A Shares or Class B Shares, dividends paid to a non-U.S.
holder are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross
amount of the dividend or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate, unless the
dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in
the United States by a non-U.S. holder (and, if certain tax treaties apply, is
attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such
non-U.S. holder) and a Form 4224 stating that the dividends are so connected
is filed with Security Capital. A dividend that is effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by a non-U.S. holder
(and, if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a United States
permanent establishment maintained by such non-U.S. holder) will be exempt
from the withholding tax described above and subject instead (i) to the U.S.
federal income tax on net income that applies to U.S. persons and (ii) with
respect to corporate holders under certain circumstances, a 30% (or, if
applicable, lower treaty rate) branch profits tax that in general is imposed
on its "effectively connected earnings and profits" (within the meaning of the
Code) for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.
Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid to an address in a
foreign country are presumed to be paid to a resident of that country (unless
the payor has knowledge to the contrary) for purposes of the withholding
discussed above and, under the current interpretation of the Treasury
Regulations, for purposes of determining the applicability of a tax treaty
rate. Under the Proposed Regulations, however, a non-U.S. holder of Class B
Shares who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate would be
required to satisfy applicable certification and other requirements. In the
case of a foreign partnership, the certification requirement would generally
be applied to the partners of the partnership. In addition, the Proposed
Regulations would also require the partnership to provide certain information,
including a United States taxpayer identification number, and would provide
look-through rules for tiered partnerships. A non-U.S. holder that is eligible
for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty
may obtain a refund of any excess amount withheld by filing an appropriate
claim for refund with the IRS.
Under current law, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of a
Class B Share unless (i) subject to the exception discussed in the paragraph
below Security Capital is or has been at any time within the shorter of the
five-year period preceding such disposition or such holder's holding period a
"United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, (ii) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade
or business within the United States of the non-U.S. holder (and, if certain
tax treaties apply, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment
maintained by the non-U.S. holder), (iii) the gain is not described in clause
(ii) above, the non-U.S. holder is an individual who holds the share as a
capital asset, is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year of the disposition and the gain is attributable to an office or
other fixed place of business maintained in the United States by such
individual, or (iv) the non-U.S. holder is subject to tax pursuant to the Code
provisions applicable to certain U.S. expatriates. In the case of a non-U.S.
holder that is described under clause (ii) above, its gain will be subject to
the U.S. federal income tax on net income that applies to U.S. persons and, in
addition, if such non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject
to the branch profits tax as described in the second preceding paragraph. An
individual non-U.S. holder that is described under clause (iii) above will be
subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be
offset by capital losses which are treated as U.S. source (notwithstanding the
fact that he or she is not considered a resident of the United States).
In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain representations of
Security Capital, Security Capital currently is not, as of the date hereof, a
"United States real property holding corporation." However, such opinion is
not binding on the IRS nor will it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary
position. Moreover, since no ruling from the IRS will be sought, there can be
no complete assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth
herein. In general, if Security Capital were treated as or were to become a
"United States real property holding corporation" under the Foreign Investment
in Real Property Tax Act ("FIRPTA"), a non-U.S. holder of Class B Shares
deemed to own more than 5% of the Class B Shares would be subject to United
States federal income tax on a sale or other disposition of such Class B
Shares, and a non-U.S. holder that is not

deemed to own more than 5% of the Class B Shares would not be subject to
United States federal income tax on gain on a sale or other disposition of
such shares provided that such shares are "regularly traded on an established
securities market" (within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code and
the temporary regulations issued pursuant thereto). Additionally if the Class
B Shares are not "regularly traded on an established securities market" a non-
U.S. holder of such shares would be subject to a United States withholding tax
equal to 10% of the amount realized on a disposition of such shares. There is
no assurance that Security Capital is not currently or will not become a
"United States real property holding corporation."
Class B Shares owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a
citizen or resident (as specially defined for United States federal income tax
purposes) of the United States at the date of death, or Class B Shares subject
to certain lifetime transfers made by such an individual, will be included in
such individual's estate for United States federal estate tax, unless an
applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
Dividends
Except as provided below, Security Capital must report annually to the IRS
and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to and the tax
withheld with respect to such holder. These information reporting requirements
apply regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by an
applicable tax treaty. Copies of these information returns may also be
available under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with the tax
authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides. In general,
backup withholding at a rate of 31% and additional information reporting will
apply to dividends paid on Class B Shares to holders that are not "exempt
recipients" and that fail to provide in the manner required certain
identifying information (such as the holder's name, address and taxpayer
identification number). Generally, individuals are not exempt recipients,
whereas corporations and certain other entities generally are exempt
recipients. However, dividends that are subject to U.S. withholding tax at the
30% statutory rate or at a reduced tax treaty rate are exempt from backup
withholding of U.S. federal income tax and such additional information
reporting.
Broker Sales
If a non-U.S. holder sells Class B Shares through a U.S. office of a U.S. or
foreign broker, the broker is required to file an information return and is
required to withhold 31% of the sale proceeds unless the non-U.S. holder is an
exempt recipient or has provided the broker with the information and
statements, under penalties of perjury, necessary to establish an exemption
from backup withholding. If payment of the proceeds of the sale of a share by
a non-U.S. holder is made to or through the foreign office of a broker, that
broker will not be required to backup withhold or, except as provided in the
next sentence, to file information returns. In the case of proceeds from a
sale of a share by a non-U.S. holder paid to or through the foreign office of
a U.S. broker or a foreign office of a foreign broker that is (i) a controlled
foreign corporation for U.S. tax purposes or (ii) a person 50% or more of
whose gross income for the three-year period ending with the close of the
taxable year preceding the year of payment (or for the part of that period
that the broker has been in existence) is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business within the United States (a "Foreign U.S.
Connected Broker"), information reporting is required unless the broker has
documentary evidence in its files that the payee is not a U.S. person and
certain other conditions are met, or the payee otherwise establishes an
exemption. In addition, the Treasury Department has indicated that it is
studying the possible application of backup withholding in the case of such
foreign offices of U.S. and Foreign U.S. Connected Brokers.
The Proposed Regulations would, if adopted, alter the foregoing rules in
certain respects. Among other things, the Proposed Regulations would provide
certain presumptions under which a non-U.S. holder would be subject to backup
withholding and information reporting unless Security Capital receives
certification from the holder of its non-U.S. status.
91
<PAGE>
Refunds
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
non-U.S. holder may be refunded or credited against the non-U.S. holder's U.S.
federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the IRS.
ERISA MATTERS
The fiduciary requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), require the investments of a
pension, profit sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (an
"ERISA Plan") to be (i) prudent and in the best interests of the ERISA Plan,
its participants and beneficiaries; (ii) diversified in order to reduce the
risk of large losses, unless it is clearly prudent not to do so; and (iii)
authorized under the terms of the governing documents of the ERISA Plan. Each
fiduciary of an ERISA Plan should carefully consider whether an investment in
the Class B Shares is consistent with his or her fiduciary duties.
A fiduciary making the decision to invest in the Class B Shares on behalf of
an ERISA Plan, a governmental plan, an Individual Retirement Account or
certain non-ERISA plans (a "Plan") is advised to consult his or her own legal
advisor regarding the specific considerations arising under ERISA, the Code or
state law with respect to the purchase, ownership or sale of Class B Shares by
such Plan.
A regulation promulgated by the Department of Labor (the "DOL Regulation")
provides that, except under certain circumstances set forth therein,
investment by a Plan in a corporation, partnership or other entity may result
in the assets of that entity being treated as the assets of the investing
Plan.
An investment in an "operating company" is one circumstance in which the
entity's assets will not be deemed to be "plan assets." The DOL Regulation
includes in the definition of "operating company" a "venture capital operating
company" ("VCOC"). A VCOC is an entity which, as of its "initial valuation
date" and annually on its "annual valuation date" (as defined by the DOL
Regulation), has at least 50% of its assets (other than short-term assets
pending long-term investment or distribution), valued at cost, invested in
venture capital investments or derivative instruments and which actually
exercises, in the ordinary course of its business, management rights in one or
more of the operating companies in which it invests. The Company has received
opinions from Mayer, Brown and Platt that it is a VCOC as of its most recent
valuation date and, assuming that at the relevant future valuation dates
(including after giving effect to the Mergers) its investments in qualifying
venture capital investments constitute at least 50% of its assets valued at
cost, and that it continues to exercise its management rights in at least one
of the operating companies in which it invests, it will qualify as a VCOC and
its assets will not be deemed "plan assets" under the DOL Regulation.
The DOL Regulation also provides that an entity's assets will not be treated
as "plan assets" because of an ERISA Plan's investment if the Plan acquires a
"publicly offered security" which is an equity interest in the entity. The DOL
Regulation defines a publicly offered security as a security that is freely
transferable, part of a class of securities that is widely held and either (i)
part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act or (ii) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act (provided that the securities are registered under
the Exchange Act within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the
issuer during which the offering occurred). The Class B Shares are expected to
be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act upon completion of the
Offering and, prior to the completion of the Offering, the Class A Shares will
be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
A security is "widely held" if it is part of a class of securities owned by
100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of one another. The
Company believes that the Class A Shares are widely held and expects the Class
B Shares to be widely held upon completion of the Offering.
92
<PAGE>
Whether a security is "freely transferable" is a factual question to be
determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. The DOL
Regulation creates certain safe harbors for securities with a minimum
investment of $10,000 or less, which safe harbor is not available for Class B
Shares offered hereby. Nevertheless, the Company believes that any restrictions
on the transfer of Class A Shares or Class B Shares are limited to the type of
restrictions permitted by the DOL Regulation. The DOL Regulation only
establishes a presumption in favor of free transferability, and no assurance
can be given that the Department of Labor or the U.S. Treasury Department will
not reach a contrary conclusion.
Assuming that the Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be "widely held" and
that no facts and circumstances other than those referred to in the preceding
paragraph exist that restrict transferability, the Company believes that, while
the issue is not entirely free from doubt because of its factual nature, the
Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be publicly offered securities and the
assets of the Company will not be deemed to be "plan assets" of any Plan which
invests in Class B Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the assets of the Company were deemed to be
"plan assets" under ERISA, the Company's ability to engage in business
transactions could be hampered because: (i) certain persons exercising
discretion as to the Company's assets might be considered to be fiduciaries
under ERISA; (ii) transactions involving the Company undertaken at their
direction or pursuant to their advice might violate ERISA; and (iii) certain
transactions that the Company might enter into in the ordinary course of its
business might constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA and the Code.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements and related schedules of Security
Capital and SCI included in this Prospectus and elsewhere in the registration
statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, have been audited by Arthur
Andersen LLP, independent public accountants to the extent indicated in their
reports thereon also appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration
statement. Such financial statements have been included herein in reliance upon
such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
The financial statements and related schedule of PTR included in this
Prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement, of which this
Prospectus forms a part, have been audited by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP,
independent public accountants to the extent indicated in their reports thereon
also appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration statement. Such
financial statements have been included or consolidated herein in reliance upon
such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and

The financial statements and related schedules of ATLANTIC and Homestead
consolidated into the financial statements of Security Capital, have been
audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants to the extent
indicated in their reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein and in the
registration statement. Such financial statements have been consolidated in
reliance upon such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts in
accounting and auditing.
With respect to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, included in this Prospectus,
Arthur Andersen LLP and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP have reported that they have
applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a
review of such information. However, their separate reports each state that
they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial
information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such
information should be restricted considering the limited nature of the review
procedures applied. Neither of such accountants are subject to the liability
provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their reports on the
unaudited interim financial information because neither of those reports is a
"report" or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by the
accountants within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Security Capital Group Incorporated:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Security
Capital Group Incorporated and subsidiaries (see Note 1) as of March 31, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the statement of shareholders' equity
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and the statements of cash
flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We
were furnished with the reports of other accountants on their reviews of the
financial statements of Security Capital Pacific Trust, Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated, whose total assets
represent 60.1% of the total assets of Security Capital Group Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997 and whose income represent 57.7% and 62.0% of
the total income in the consolidated statements of operations of Security
Capital Group Incorporated and subsidiaries for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review and the reports of other accountants, we are not aware of
any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Security Capital Group
Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and, in our report dated
February 28, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In
our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MARCH 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Business:
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), formerly Security
Capital Realty Incorporated, is a corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Maryland engaged in real estate research, investment and management.
Security Capital has invested in five real estate operating companies (the
"Capital Division"). Three such investees are highly focused, fully integrated
real estate operating companies formed as real estate investment trusts
("REITs"), which own, develop, acquire, and operate income-producing
multifamily properties and distribution facilities. The fourth investee is a
European-based company formed with the objective of owning strategic positions
in United States real estate operating companies focused on specific subsectors
of retail, office and other well researched property types. The fifth investee
develops, owns and operates moderately priced, extended-stay lodging properties
across the United States. In addition, Security Capital has invested in a real
estate investment fund that invests in securities of publicly traded real
estate companies in the United States. Security Capital also includes a
"Services Division", which provides management and property management services
to the companies in which Security Capital has made investments. The Services
Division provides strategic guidance, research, investment analysis,
acquisition and development services, asset management, property management,
capital markets services and legal and accounting services.
Merger:
Security Capital was formed by the merger of two affiliated, but not commonly
controlled, entities on January 1, 1995. Security Capital Group Incorporated
("GROUP"), a Delaware corporation, which consisted of the Services Division
companies, was merged with and into Security Capital Realty Incorporated
("REALTY"). Subsequently REALTY changed its name to that of its merged
affiliate, Security Capital Group Incorporated, and the combined entity is
referred to herein as Security Capital. In the merger, all of GROUP's
outstanding stock and principal amount of GROUP convertible subordinated
debentures were exchanged for REALTY stock and REALTY convertible subordinated
debentures due June 30, 2014 (the "2014 Convertible Debentures"). REALTY issued
135,261 shares of common stock, $70,178,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures and
options to acquire 58,772 shares of REALTY common stock and $29,298,000 of 2014
Convertible Debentures for an aggregate securities issuance of $233,708,000.
The REALTY options were issued in exchange for GROUP options and warrants held
by certain employees and directors and such options are exercisable subject to
their prior terms regarding vesting and aggregate exercise price.
The Services Division companies do not qualify as "businesses" for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the excess
of the aggregate value of the securities issued ($233,708,000) over the fair
value of the net tangible assets acquired ($75,264,000) has been recorded as
"Costs incurred in acquiring Services Division from related party"
($158,444,000) in the 1995 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Principles of Financial Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of
Security Capital, its majority-owned operating companies (Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated) and its wholly-owned
Services Division subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interest is
comprised of the minority shareholders of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated.
Security Capital accounts for its 20% or greater (but not more than 50%) owned
investees by the equity method. For an investee accounted for under the equity
method, Security Capital's share of net earnings or losses of the investee is
reflected in income as earned and dividends are credited against the investment
as received.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Security Capital considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Real Estate and Depreciation:
Real estate is carried at cost, which is not in excess of net realizable value.
Costs directly related to the acquisition, renovation or development of real
estate for Security Capital's majority owned operating companies are
capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of unsuccessful
acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the pursuit is abandoned.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renovations and improvements
are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property
on a straight-line basis. Properties are depreciated principally over the
useful lives of 20 to 40 years for multifamily and extended-stay buildings and
improvements and 2 to 10 years for furnishings and other equipment.
Interest:
Security Capital capitalizes interest as part of the cost of real estate
projects under development. During the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, the total interest paid on all outstanding debt was $9,115,000 and
$8,023,000, respectively, including $5,913,000 and $2,036,000, respectively,
which was capitalized.
Cost of Raising Capital:
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are deducted
from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance or
renewal of debt are capitalized, included with other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan in the case of issuance costs or twelve months in
the case of renewal costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in
interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was
$714,000 and $658,000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition:
Rental, fee and interest income are recorded on the accrual method of
accounting. A provision for possible loss is made when collection of
receivables is considered doubtful.
Per Share Data:
Per share data is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding during
the period. In the computation of net loss per common share, outstanding
options and warrants are not included as common stock equivalents as to do so
would have an anti-dilutive effect. In the computation of net earnings per
common share, outstanding options and warrants are included as common stock
equivalents using the treasury stock method. The conversion of convertible debt
into common shares is not assumed as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
Properties and other long-lived assets are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The Impairment Of
Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of, has been adopted
by Security Capital and its affiliates, as required, effective January 1, 1996.
The adoption of this accounting standard had no material impact on the
financial statements as of the date of adoption.
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS
No. 128"). The new statement is effective December 15, 1997 and will require
restatement of prior years' earnings per share; early adoption is not
permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have no material effect on
Security Capital's reported earnings per share.
F-9
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The FASB has also released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129,
Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure ("SFAS No. 129"). Security
Capital already complies with the requirements of the standard which is
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial statements and notes to
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.
General:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of Security Capital's financial position and results of
operations for the interim period.
2. SERVICES DIVISION
Certain Security Capital Services Division subsidiaries, under the terms of
separate agreements, manage the operations of the separate REITs ("REIT
Managers"), provide property management services to those REITs ("Property
Managers") and manage the operations of Security Capital U.S. Realty
("USREALTY") ("Operating Advisor"). Each REIT Manager is paid a REIT management
fee based on a percentage of the REIT's pre-management fee cash flow, after
deducting actual and assumed regularly scheduled principal payments for long-
term debt and dividends paid on non-convertible preferred shares, as defined in
the REIT Management Agreements. The fee is generally 16% of cash flow, as so
defined, for the REIT. Property management fees are at market rates and are
paid separately to Security Capital's property management subsidiaries. The
REIT and Property Management Agreements are generally one year in term,
renewable annually by the REIT and cancelable upon sixty days notice. The
Operating Advisor is paid a management fee of 1.25% of USREALTY's investments
at fair value (other than liquid short-term investments and investments in
Security Capital). The Operating Advisor agreement dated August 7, 1995 is for
a term of two years, renewable every two years on the same terms and cancelable
upon sixty days notice.
In late January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to Security Capital
Industrial Trust ("SCI"), Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR") and Security
Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") to exchange the REIT and Property
Managers for additional shares of the respective REITs. As a result of the
proposed transaction, each of the REITs would become internally managed. The
board of trustees or directors of each REIT appointed a special committee
comprised of independent directors or trustees to review the proposed
transaction.
On March 24, 1997, the board of trustees or directors of SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC
each unanimously approved an agreement with Security Capital to exchange its
REIT common stock for Security Capital's REIT management and property
management companies. The transactions, subject to approval by the shareholders
of Security Capital, SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC, are expected to be consummated
during the third quarter of 1997. Under the terms of the agreements, SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC will issue $81.9 million, $75.8 million and $54.6 million of their
common stock, respectively, in exchange for Security Capital's REIT management
and property management companies and operating systems. After giving effect to
income taxes and the effect of the investees' accounting for these
acquisitions, Security Capital expects the gain on sale of the management
companies to SCI and PTR will be approximately $55,000,000. No gain will be
recorded on the sale to ATLANTIC as Security Capital consolidates ATLANTIC's
accounts.
In order to allow existing shareholders to maintain their relative ownership
interests, SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC will conduct rights offerings during the time
proxies are solicited from their shareholders. Also, as part of the
transaction, Security Capital will issue warrants to acquire $250 million of
Class B shares to the common and convertible preferred shareholders of SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC. The warrants are expected to be publicly traded and have a term
of twelve months. On April 29, 1997 Security Capital filed a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering its initial
public offering of Class B shares, which is expected to be effective in the
third quarter of 1997.

subscriptions of $200,000,000 for the common stock of USREALTY
($199,700,000 was invested by Security Capital and $300,000 by Security

F-11
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
addition to the subscriptions, on July 1, 1996, Security Capital
purchased 9,132,420 shares of USREALTY in a public European offering at
a cost of $11.06 per share and an additional 6,282,241 shares in a
public European offering, at a cost of $12.44 a share, on December 17,
1996. Also, during 1996, Security Capital purchased shares of USREALTY
with a total value of $34,041,000 in the open market and in a privately
negotiated transaction. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
Security Capital owned 36.92% and 39.44%, respectively, of the issued
and outstanding common shares of USREALTY. Security Capital accounts for
its investment in USREALTY by the equity method.
. On October 17, 1996, Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR completed the
spin-out of their extended stay lodging assets to Homestead Village
Incorporated ("Homestead"). As described below, upon consummation of the
transaction, Homestead's common shares are held by Security Capital and
shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR. Given the common ownership of the
"Homestead assets" before and after the spin-out, Security Capital did
not record a gain on this transaction in its consolidated financial
statements.
Security Capital contributed the contractual rights (primarily fees)
from the PTR and ATLANTIC REIT management agreements and property
management agreements relating to the Homestead properties in exchange
for 4,062,788 shares of Homestead common stock, including 1,671,929
shares remaining in escrow which will be released as funds are advanced
under the ATLANTIC and PTR Funding Commitment Agreements described
below. In addition, Security Capital contributed the Homestead
trademark, the operating system and certain Homestead development
properties Security Capital had acquired as they were outside the target
markets of ATLANTIC and PTR. Security Capital also received 817,694
warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for
providing funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of
the merger agreement and the closing date and the use of office
facilities for one year. Under the terms of the Investor Agreement,
Homestead can require Security Capital to exercise all or a portion of
its warrants with proper written notice.
ATLANTIC and PTR contributed assets consisting of operating properties
as well as properties under construction or in planning (or the rights
to acquire such properties) and ATLANTIC contributed $16.8 million in
cash. In addition, ATLANTIC and PTR entered into Funding Commitment
Agreements to provide secured financing of up to $111.1 million and
$199.0 million, respectively, to Homestead for completing the
development and construction of the properties contributed in the
transaction. ATLANTIC and PTR received 4,201,220 and 9,485,727 shares,
respectively, of Homestead common stock in exchange for the assets
contributed and 2,818,517 and 6,363,789 warrants, respectively, to
purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for entering into
the Funding Commitment Agreements. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive
convertible mortgage notes from Homestead as fundings occur under the
Funding Commitment Agreements. On November 12, 1996 ATLANTIC and PTR
distributed the Homestead common stock and warrants to their
shareholders of record as of October 29, 1996. This distribution caused
Security Capital to receive an additional 5,831,613 shares of Homestead
common stock and 3,912,328 warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10
per share. Additionally, Security Capital made purchases of Homestead
warrants in the open market totaling 206,400 shares for $1,313,000.
Security Capital exercised $17,500,000 in warrants between October 17,
1996 and December 31, 1996.
During the first quarter of 1997, Security Capital exercised $15,000,000
of warrants and purchased 1,214,300 Homestead warrants in the open
market for $10,714,000. Security Capital's ownership of Homestead's
outstanding common shares as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was
61.97% and 59.14%, respectively. Security Capital consolidates
Homestead's accounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
. Security Capital Employee REIT Fund ("SC-ERF") is a real estate
investment fund that invests in securities of publicly traded real
estate companies in the United States. Between December 23, 1996 and
March 31, 1997, Security Capital and a wholly-owned subsidiary purchased
8,362,849 shares of SC-ERF for $86,903,000. Such amount is included in
other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
F-12
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
sheets. Shares of SC-ERF are being offered only to Security Capital,
directors, trustees, employees of Security Capital and its affiliates
and members of their families and approved 401(k) plans of Security
Capital and its affiliates. As of March 31, 1997, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Security Capital was the sole shareholder of SC-ERF.
Security Capital is not consolidating its investment in SC-ERF as its
ownership interest is expected to fall below 50% prior to the end of
1997. Security Capital's equity in earnings of SC-ERF for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 of $671,000 is included in other income in
the accompanying 1997 consolidated statement of operations.
Security Capital received cash dividends from its investees for the three

4. INDEBTEDNESS:
Lines of Credit:
At March 31, 1997, Security Capital and its consolidated REIT subsidiary,
ATLANTIC, had revolving bank lines of credit. Security Capital has a
$300,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisors,
Incorporated ("Wells Fargo") as agent for a group of lenders. The agreement is
effective through November 15, 1998 with an option to renew for successive one
year periods, with the approval of Wells Fargo and the participating lenders.
Borrowings bear interest, at Security Capital's option, at either LIBOR plus
1.50% (1.75% prior to August 19, 1996) or a base rate (defined as the higher of
Wells Fargo prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%) with interest
payable monthly in arrears. Commitment fees range from .125% to .25% per annum
based on the average unfunded line of credit balance (such fees were .125% on
all unfunded balances prior to October 1, 1996). Security Capital's line is
secured by its holdings in SCI, PTR, ATLANTIC, USREALTY and Homestead,
including warrants to purchase shares of Homestead's common stock, as well as
any unfunded subscriptions for Security Capital's common stock and convertible
subordinated debentures. There were no unfunded subscriptions as of March 31,
1997.
The Security Capital line of credit is a primary obligation of SC Realty.
Security Capital guarantees the line. SC Realty is a legal entity which is
separate and distinct from Security Capital and its affiliates, and has
separate assets, liabilities, business functions and operations.
On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC obtained a $350,000,000 unsecured line of credit
from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT"), as agent for a group of
lenders, that replaced its previous $350,000,000 secured line of credit.
Borrowings bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 1.0% to 1.375% (currently 1.375% as compared to 1.5% under the
previous agreement) depending on ATLANTIC's debt rating. ATLANTIC currently
pays a commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance of
0.1875%. The line of credit matures December 1998 and may be extended for one
year with the approval of MGT and the other participating lenders.
In August 1995, ATLANTIC entered into a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs
Capital Markets, L.P. covering $100,000,000 of borrowings under the line of
credit. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a fixed rate of interest of 7.46% from February 5, 1996 to
December 17, 1996 and 7.335% thereafter. Upon expiration of the existing swap
agreement on February 5, 1997, a swap agreement
F-16
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
with MGT took effect. The MGT agreement provides for a fixed rate of 7.325% on
$100,000,000 of borrowing through February 5, 1998. The interest rate ATLANTIC
will pay under the new agreement will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves an
investment-grade debt rating and will range from 6.95% to 7.2% depending on the
rating achieved. ATLANTIC paid $332,000 more in interest during 1996 than was
received under the swap agreement. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the swap counterparty, however, ATLANTIC believes
the risk of loss is minimal. Each line requires maintenance of certain
financial covenants. Security Capital, SC Realty and ATLANTIC were in
compliance with all such covenants at March 31, 1997.
A summary of the lines of credit borrowings as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Homestead executed a funding commitment agreement with PTR which provides
borrowing capability in the amount of $199,000,000. Under this funding
agreement, Homestead may call for funding from PTR through March 31, 1998 for
the development of the projects acquired from PTR in the transaction. As a
result of the fundings, PTR will receive convertible mortgage notes in stated
amounts of up to $221,000,000. The notes are collaterized by Homestead
properties.
ATLANTIC's swap agreements related to its tax-exempt variable rate mortgages
are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
- --------
(1) Includes the fixed interest rate provided by the swap agreements, annual
fees associated with the swap agreements and credit enhancement agreement and
amortization of capitalized costs associated with the credit enhancement
agreement.
ATLANTIC paid $493,000 and $428,000 more in interest during the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, than was received under the swap
agreements. The swap agreements cover the principal amount of the bonds, net of
amounts deposited in the principal reserve fund. ATLANTIC pays interest on that
portion of bonds not covered by the swap agreements at the variable rates as
provided by the mortgage agreements. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the swap counterparties; however, ATLANTIC believes
the risk of loss is minimal.
Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at March 31, 1997 of
$51,019,000 and $207,462,000 serves as collateral for the conventional mortgage
notes payable and the tax exempt mortgages, respectively.
Homestead issued warrants to PTR in exchange for entering into the funding
commitment agreements (Note 3). The costs associated with the issuance of the
warrants have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The premium/discount
(i.e. the difference between the stated amount and the funded amount), the
value attributable to the conversion feature, and the costs associated with the
warrants are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related
mortgage note payable using a method which approximates the effective interest
method. The effective interest rate on the PTR convertible mortgage note
payable after giving effect to the related discount, conversion feature, and
warrants is estimated to be 13.56%.
The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of PTR, into common shares of
Homestead common stock beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion price is equal
to one share of common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding.

Convertible Debt:
Security Capital's 2014 Convertible Debentures totaling $713,678,000 at March
31, 1997 and $713,677,000 at December 31, 1996 accrue interest at 12% per annum
but require semi-annual cash interest payments at a minimum rate per annum of
3.5%. Interest above the minimum may be paid currently or deferred at the
option of Security Capital. Any deferred interest accrues interest at 12% and
is due upon maturity. The Board of Directors of Security Capital approved a
cash interest payment rate of 10.535% and 9.939% per annum for 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Security Capital's convertible subordinated debentures due March 29, 2016 (the
"2016 Convertible Debentures") totaling $323,034,000 at March 31, 1997 and
$226,520,000 at December 31, 1996 accrue interest at 6.5% per annum and require
semi-annual interest payments on the last business day of June and December.
Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offering for 2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500.
The principal amount of the 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures are
convertible into Security Capital common stock at $1,046.00 and $1,153.90 per
share, respectively, at the option of the holder any time after the earlier to
occur of (i) the first anniversary of Security Capital's initial public
offering of its common stock, (ii) July 1, 1999 and March 29, 2001 for the 2014
and 2016 Convertible Debentures, respectively, (iii) the consolidation or
merger of Security Capital with another entity (other than a merger in which
Security Capital is the surviving entity) or any sale or disposition of
substantially all the assets of Security Capital or (iv) notice of redemption
of the debentures by Security Capital. On conversion of the 2014 Convertible
Debentures, any accrued and unpaid deferred interest shall be deemed to be paid
in full upon delivery of the common shares to the debenture holder. Security
Capital may redeem the 2014 Convertible Debentures at any time and the 2016
Convertible Debentures may be redeemed at any time after March 29, 1999. To
redeem the debentures, Security Capital must provide not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior written notice to the holders. The redemption price is
par plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offerings of securities totaling $785,097,000. Such subscriptions
consist of preferred stock of $139,000,000, common stock of $323,048,500, and
2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500. All subscriptions have been funded
as of March 31, 1997. Included in the fundings was $110,000,000 received from
USREALTY.
On April 1, 1996 Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of its Series A
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred
Shares). The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000
per share for an aggregate preference of $139,000,000 plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends. The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to
voting rights, equal to the number of common shares into which the Series A
Preferred Shares are convertible, on matters of amendments of Security
Capital's Articles of Incorporation and merger of Security Capital, or sale of
substantially all assets or liquidation or dissolution, and one-half of such
number of common shares on other matters submitted to a vote of the common
shareholders. Each Series A
F-19
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the holder at any time, into
0.76184 of Security Capital common shares (a conversion price of $1,312.61 per
share). In the event that the holder of the Series A Preferred Shares would be
prohibited under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, from owning
securities constituting or convertible into 5% or more of the outstanding
common shares, then the conversion rights of the shares of Series A Preferred
Shares by such holder shall be modified as follows: (i) the number of shares of
Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder which may then be converted by
such holder without resulting in such holder owning 5% or more of the common
shares outstanding after such conversion shall be convertible into common
shares; and (ii) any shares of Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder in
excess of the number of shares which may then be converted as described in
clause (i) will not be convertible into common shares until such time as (and
only to the extent that) (A) such shares may be converted without resulting in
such holder owning 5% or more of the common shares outstanding after such
conversion or (B) such shares are held by a person not prohibited from owning
securities constituting or convertible into 5% or more of common shares as
described above. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds
legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash
distributions at the rate of 7.5% of the liquidation preference per annum
(equivalent to $75.00 per share). Such distributions are cumulative from the
date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of
each March, June, September and December or, if not a business day, the next
succeeding business day. The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable, at the
option of Security Capital, after March 31, 1999.
On April 17, 1997 Security Capital shareholders approved an amended and
restated charter which created Class A and Class B Shares. All outstanding
common stock as of April 18, 1997 was automatically changed to Class A Shares.
All references to Security Capital common stock are to Class A Shares unless
otherwise noted.
Participants in Security Capital's Debenture Interest Reinvestment Plans may
reinvest the cash portion of their interest payments applicable to Security
Capital's 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures in Security Capital common stock
at the estimated fair value per share determined as of the prior quarter end
date. As of March 31, 1997, 74,602 shares of Security Capital's common stock
have been reserved for issuance under these plans.
6. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS:
Security Capital has stock and convertible debenture option plans for
directors, officers and key employees which provide for grants of non-qualified
and incentive options. Prior to 1996, all options and warrants were issued in
units consisting of common stock and 2014 Convertible Debentures. Such options
must be exercised in units which consist of both shares and debentures. In
1996, most option grants were for common stock only. Shares totaling 262,615
have been reserved for options and warrants, including shares obtainable upon
conversion of debentures. Under all plans, the option exercise price equals the
fair value of the stock or stock and debentures, as applicable as of the date
of grant. Vesting of the options commences no more than three years from grant
date and options are fully vested no more than six years from grant date.
Options expire ten years from date of grant.
Security Capital has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
("SFAS No. 123"). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
option plans. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, Security Capital has applied its
provisions to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, and considers
the resulting pro forma compensation cost to be immaterial for options granted
during the three months ended March 31, 1997.

In connection with ATLANTIC's acquisition of a portfolio of multifamily assets
in June 1994, Security Capital issued a warrant to the seller to purchase
40,241 shares and $30,500,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures for an aggregate
price of $60,000,000 ($865 per fully converted share).The warrant expires March
31, 1998; however, if Security Capital's common stock is not registered by that
date, the warrant will automatically be exercised according to its cashless
exercise provisions. Due to its immateriality, no value has been assigned to
the warrant in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

and $828,400, respectively, including $420,100 and $281,600 in 1997 and 1996,
respectively, paid to SCI. Included above are lease agreements with SCI with a
total remaining obligation of $10,803,000.
8. INCOME TAXES:
Security Capital accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109").
Security Capital files a consolidated federal income tax return. Homestead also
accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109 and its tax effects are included
in Security Capital's consolidated financial statements. Homestead files a
separate Federal income tax return. ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a real
estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Accordingly, no provisions have been made for federal income taxes for its
operations in Security Capital's consolidated financial statements.
Federal income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
consisted of $8,445,000 and none, respectively. Security Capital had tax net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $63,000,000 at March 31, 1997. If
not previously utilized, the loss carryforwards will expire beginning 2005
through 2010. Utilization of existing net operating loss carryforwards is
limited by IRC Section 382 (limitation on net operating loss carryforwards
following ownership change) and the Separate Return Limitation Year rules.
Security Capital's deferred tax assets relate primarily to its net operating
loss carryforwards and such deferred tax assets are completely offset by a
valuation allowance. Deferred tax liabilities result from Security Capital's
investments in equity method operating companies.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Security Capital and its investees are parties to various claims and routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on discussion with
legal counsel, Security Capital does not believe that the results of all claims
and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
Security Capital's investees are subject to environmental regulations related
to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As
part of due diligence procedures, Security Capital's investees conduct Phase I
environmental assessments on each property prior to acquisition. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to Security Capital's
results of operations. Security Capital and its investees are not aware of any
environmental condition on any of their properties which is likely to have a
material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations.
At March 31, 1997, Security Capital had approximately $243,900,000 of unfunded
development commitments for developments under construction, which consist of
ATLANTIC and Homestead's commitments of $96,800,000 and $147,100,000,
respectively.
10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Similarly, the carrying value of line of credit borrowings approximates fair
value as of those dates because the interest rates fluctuate based on published
market rates. In the opinion of management, the interest rates associated with
the conventional mortgages payable and the tax exempt mortgages payable
approximate the market interest rates for this type of instrument, and as such,
the carrying values approximate fair value at March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996, in all material respects.
PTR's convertible mortgage notes are convertible into Homestead common stock
after March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for
every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding. The fair value of the convertible
mortgage notes (assuming conversion), based upon the trading price of
Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at March 31, 1997,
($16.875) is $191,829,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Security Capital Group Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Capital Group Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedules referred to below based on our audits.
We did not audit the financial statements and accompanying Schedule IIIs of
Security Capital Pacific Trust, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated,
Security Capital U.S. Realty and Homestead Village Incorporated, for which the
accompanying statements reflect $2,315,847,000 (79.1%) and $1,316,951,000
(71.0%) of the total consolidated assets of Security Capital Group Incorporated
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
$289,515,000 (72.7%), $128,589,000 (64.1%) and $84,841,000 (54.1%) of the total
consolidated income in the consolidated statements of operations of Security
Capital Group Incorporated and subsidiaries for each of the three years ended
December 31, 1996, respectively. Those statements and the accompanying Schedule
IIIs were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and
our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities,
is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Security Capital Group Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The attached Schedules I
and III are presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic consolidated
financial statements. These schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements
and, in our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors,
fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be set
forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business:
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), formerly Security
Capital Realty Incorporated, is a corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Maryland engaged in the creation and operation of real estate
operating companies. Security Capital has invested in five operating companies
(the "Capital Division"). Three such investees are highly focused, fully
integrated real estate operating companies formed as real estate investment
trusts (REITs), which own, develop, acquire, and operate income-producing
multifamily properties and distribution facilities. The fourth investee is a
European-based company formed with the objective of owning strategic positions
in United States real estate operating companies focused on specific subsectors
of retail, office and other well researched property types. The fifth investee
develops, owns and operates moderately priced, extended-stay lodging properties
across the United States. Security Capital also includes a "Services Division",
which provides management and property management services to the companies in
which Security Capital has made investments. The Services Division provides
strategic guidance, research, investment analysis, acquisition and development
services, asset management, property management, capital markets services and
legal and accounting services.
Merger:
Security Capital was formed by the merger of two affiliated, but not commonly
controlled, entities on January 1, 1995. Security Capital Group Incorporated
("GROUP"), a Delaware corporation, which consisted of the Services Division
companies, was merged with and into Security Capital Realty Incorporated
("REALTY"). Subsequently REALTY changed its name to that of its merged
affiliate, Security Capital Group Incorporated, and the combined entity is
referred to herein as Security Capital. For purposes of determining the value
of GROUP's Services Division companies acquired by REALTY on January 1, 1995,
Security Capital calculated for the six month period ending December 31, 1994
and for each of the years ending December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the
projected management fees, net of operating overhead, which Security Capital
would have received under existing management agreements for assets currently
owned or forecasted to be owned by the operating companies during this time
period. Security Capital then multiplied the 1997 net operating income derived
from such fees by a multiple of 9.0x and discounted this value along with the
net operating income derived from such fees between 1994 and 1996 back to July
1, 1994 using an annual discount rate of 17.5%. In the merger, all of GROUP's
outstanding stock and principal amount of GROUP convertible subordinated
debentures were exchanged for REALTY stock and REALTY convertible subordinated
debentures due June 30, 2014 (the "2014 Convertible Debentures"). REALTY issued
135,261 shares of common stock, $70,178,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures and
options to acquire 58,772 shares of REALTY common stock and $29,298,000 of 2014
Convertible Debentures for an aggregate securities issuance of $233,708,000.
The REALTY options were issued in exchange for GROUP options and warrants held
by certain employees and directors and such options are exercisable subject to
their prior terms regarding vesting and aggregate exercise price.
The Services Division companies do not qualify as "businesses" for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations". Accordingly, the excess
of the aggregate value of the securities issued ($233,708,000) over the fair
value of the net tangible assets acquired ($75,264,000) has been recorded as
"Costs incurred in acquiring Services Division from related party"
($158,444,000) in the accompanying 1995 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Principles of Financial Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of
Security Capital, its majority-owned operating companies (Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated) and its wholly owned
Services Division subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interest is
comprised of the minority shareholders of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated.

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Security Capital accounts for its 20% or greater (but not more than 50%) owned
investees by the equity method. For an investee accounted for under the equity
method, Security Capital's share of net earnings or losses of the investee is
reflected in income as earned and dividends are credited against the investment
as received.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Security Capital considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Real Estate and Depreciation:
Real estate is carried at cost, which is not in excess of net realizable value.
Costs directly related to the acquisition, renovation or development of real
estate for Security Capital's majority-owned operating companies are
capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of unsuccessful
acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the pursuit is abandoned.
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renovations and improvements
are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property
on a straight-line basis. Properties are depreciated principally over the
useful lives of 20 to 40 years for multifamily and extended-stay buildings and
improvements and 2 to 10 years for furnishings and other equipment.
Interest:
Security Capital capitalizes interest as part of the cost of real estate
projects under development. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid
on all outstanding debt was $100,423,000, $82,336,000 and $46,760,000,
respectively, including $12,353,000, $4,404,000 and $3,184,000, respectively,
which was capitalized.
Cost of Raising Capital:
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are deducted
from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance or
renewal of debt are capitalized, included with other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan in the case of issuance costs or twelve months in
the case of renewal costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in
interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$2,923,000, $2,404,000 and $2,387,000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition:
Rental, fee and interest income are recorded on the accrual method of
accounting. A provision for possible loss is made when collection of
receivables is considered doubtful.
Per Share Data:
Per share data is computed based on weighted-average shares outstanding during
the period. In the computation of net loss per common share, outstanding
options and warrants are not included as common stock equivalents as to do so
would have an anti-dilutive effect. In the computation of net earnings per
common share, outstanding options and warrants are included as common stock
equivalents using the treasury stock method. The conversion of convertible debt
into common shares is not assumed as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
Properties and other long-lived assets are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The Impairment Of
F-31

Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of, has been adopted
by Security Capital and its affiliates, as required, effective January 1, 1996.
The adoption of this accounting standard had no material impact on the
financial statements as of the date of adoption.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial statements and
notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the 1996 presentation.
2. SERVICES DIVISION
Certain Security Capital Services Division subsidiaries, under the terms of
separate agreements, manage the operations of the separate REITs ("REIT
Managers"), provide property management services to those REITs ("Property
Managers") and manage the operations of Security Capital U.S. Realty
("USREALTY") ("Operating Advisor"). Each REIT Manager is paid a REIT management
fee based on a percentage of the REIT's pre-management fee cash flow, after
deducting actual and assumed regularly scheduled principal payments for long-
term debt and dividends paid on non-convertible preferred shares, as defined in
the REIT Management Agreements. The fee is generally 16% of cash flow, as so
defined, for the REIT. Property management fees are at market rates and are
paid separately to Security Capital's property management subsidiaries. The
REIT and Property Management Agreements are generally one year in term,
renewable annually by the REIT and cancelable upon sixty days notice. The
Operating Advisor is paid a management fee of 1.25% of USREALTY's investments
at fair value (other than liquid short-term investments and investments in
Security Capital). The Operating Advisor agreement dated August 7, 1995 is for
a term of two years, renewable every two years on the same terms and cancelable
upon sixty days notice.
There were no Services Division revenues reported for the year ended 1994.
These subsidiaries were acquired January 1, 1995 in the GROUP/REALTY merger.
See Note 1.
In late January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to Security Capital
Industrial Trust, Security Capital Pacific Trust and Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated to exchange the REIT and Property Managers for additional shares
of the respective REITs. As a result of the proposed transaction, each of the
REITs would become internally managed. The board of trustees or directors of
each REIT has appointed a special committee comprised of independent directors
or trustees to review the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is
subject to approval (see Note 11) by each REIT's special committee as well as
its board of directors or trustees and shareholders.

3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS:
Security Capital holds investments at December 31, 1996 through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty"), as follows:
. Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a publicly held REIT,
acquires, develops, markets, operates and owns distribution facilities
and develops master-planned distribution parks and build-to-suit
facilities throughout the United States. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Security Capital owned 46.00% and 48.33%, respectively, of the issued
and outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of SCI. During 1996
and 1995, Security Capital accounted for its investment in SCI by the
equity method as Security Capital's ownership in SCI fell below 50% upon
completion of SCI's September 1995 rights offering. In 1994, Security
Capital consolidated SCI's accounts.
. Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"), a publicly held REIT, primarily
owns, develops, acquires and operates income-producing multifamily
properties in the western United States. On March 23, 1995, Security
Capital Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"), a real estate investment trust
owned 97.61% by Security Capital, was merged with and into PTR, and PTR
changed its name to Security Capital Pacific Trust. In the merger each
share of PACIFIC was converted into 0.611 shares of PTR. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, Security Capital owned 36.28% and 37.93%, respectively,
of the issued and outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of
PTR.
Security Capital accounts for its investment in PTR by the equity
method. Due to PACIFIC's merger into PTR in 1995, Security Capital has
accounted for its investment in PACIFIC in 1995 by the equity method and
combined such amounts with PTR's in the accompanying 1995 consolidated
financial statements. In 1994, Security Capital consolidated PACIFIC's
accounts.
. Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), a publicly held
REIT as of October 18, 1996, owns, acquires, develops and operates
income-producing multifamily properties in the southeastern United
States. In consideration for Security Capital's participation in
ATLANTIC's March 31, 1995 and

November 15, 1995 private placement offerings, ATLANTIC assumed Security
Capital's Put Obligations to purchase 3,750,000 shares of ATLANTIC
stock, owned by the holder of the Put Obligations, at a total cost of
$83,920,000. On July 1, 1996, Security Capital purchased 1,250,000
shares of ATLANTIC stock from a minority interest holder at a total cost
of $30,663,000. On October 18, 1996, Security Capital purchased an
additional 416,666 shares of ATLANTIC in ATLANTIC's initial public
offering at a cost of $24 per share. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
Security Capital owned 56.86% and 71.60%, respectively, of the issued
and outstanding common shares of ATLANTIC. Security Capital consolidates
ATLANTIC's accounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
. USREALTY is a Luxembourg real estate corporation formed at the direction
of Security Capital with the objective of becoming one of Europe's
preeminent publicly held real estate entities that will principally own
real estate through strategic positions in both public and private real
estate companies in the United States. Security Capital made its first
investment of $19,970,000 in USREALTY, by converting $19,970,000 of the
principal of a $53,000,000 note receivable to an investment in 1,997,000
shares of USREALTY, on October 30, 1995 as part of its subscription
commitment. Security Capital has funded total subscriptions of
$200,000,000 for the common stock of USREALTY ($199,700,000 was invested
by Security Capital and $300,000 by Security Capital (EU) Management
S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital and the advisor to
USREALTY). In addition to the subscriptions, on July 1, 1996, Security
Capital purchased 9,132,420 shares of USREALTY in a public European
offering at a cost of $11.06 per share and an additional 6,282,241
shares in a public European offering, at a cost of $12.44 a share, on
December 17, 1996. Also, during 1996, Security Capital purchased shares
of USREALTY with a total value of $34,041,000 in the open market and in
a privately negotiated transaction. At December 31, 1996 and 1995
Security Capital owned 39.44% and 32.20%, respectively, of the issued
and outstanding common shares of USREALTY. Security Capital accounts for
its investment in USREALTY by the equity method.
. On October 17, 1996, Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR completed the
spin-off of their extended stay lodging assets to Homestead Village
Incorporated ("Homestead"). As described below, upon consummation of the
transaction, Homestead's common shares were held by Security Capital and
shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR. Given the common ownership of the
"Homestead assets" before and after the spin-out, Security Capital did
not record a gain on this transaction in its consolidated financial
statements.
Security Capital contributed the contractual rights (primarily fees)
from the PTR and ATLANTIC REIT management agreements and property
management agreements relating to the Homestead properties in exchange
for 4,062,788 shares of Homestead common stock, including 2,150,892
shares which are in escrow and will be released as funds are advanced
under the ATLANTIC and PTR Funding Commitment Agreements described
below. In addition, Security Capital contributed the Homestead
trademark, the operating system and certain Homestead development
properties Security Capital had acquired as they were outside the target
markets of ATLANTIC and PTR. Security Capital also received 817,694
warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for
providing funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of
the merger agreement and the closing date and the use of office
facilities for one year. Under the terms of an Investor Agreement,
Homestead can require Security Capital to exercise all or a portion of
its warrants with proper written notice.
ATLANTIC and PTR contributed assets consisting of operating properties
as well as properties under construction or in planning (or the rights
to acquire such properties) and ATLANTIC contributed $16.8 million in
cash. In addition, ATLANTIC and PTR entered into Funding Commitment
Agreements to provide secured financing of up to $111.1 million and
$199.0 million, respectively, to Homestead for completing the
development and construction of the properties contributed in the
transaction. ATLANTIC and PTR received 4,201,220 and 9,485,727 shares,
respectively, of Homestead common stock in exchange for the assets
contributed and 2,818,517 and 6,363,789 warrants, respectively, to
purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for entering into
the Funding Commitment Agreements. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive
convertible mortgage notes from Homestead as fundings occur under the
Funding
F-34

Commitment Agreements. On November 12, 1996 ATLANTIC and PTR distributed
the Homestead common stock and warrants to their shareholders of record
as of October 29,1996. This distribution caused Security Capital to
receive an additional 5,831,613 shares of Homestead common stock and
3,912,328 warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share.
Additionally, Security Capital made purchases of Homestead warrants in
the open market totaling 206,400 shares for $1,312,807. Security Capital
exercised $17,500,000 in warrants between October 17, 1996 and December
31, 1996.
Security Capital's ownership of Homestead's outstanding common shares as
of December 31, 1996 was 59.14%. In 1996, Security Capital consolidated
Homestead's accounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

4. INDEBTEDNESS:
Lines of Credit:
At December 31, 1996, Security Capital and its consolidated REIT subsidiary,
ATLANTIC, had revolving bank lines of credit. Security Capital has a
$300,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisors,
Incorporated ("Wells Fargo") as agent for a group of lenders. The agreement is
effective through November 15, 1998 with an option to renew for successive one
year periods, with the approval of Wells Fargo and the participating lenders.
Borrowings bear interest, at Security Capital's option, at either LIBOR plus
1.50% (1.75% prior to August 19, 1996) or a base rate (defined as the higher of
Wells Fargo prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%) with interest
payable monthly in arrears. Commitment fees range from .125% to .25% per annum
based on the average unfunded line of credit balance (such fees were .125% on
all unfunded balances prior to October 1, 1996). Security Capital's line is
secured by its holdings in SCI, PTR, ATLANTIC, USREALTY and Homestead,
including warrants to purchase shares of Homestead's common stock, as well as
any unfunded subscriptions for Security Capital's common stock and convertible
subordinated debentures. Subscriptions receivable for Security Capital's 1996
private placement offering totaled $193,045,000 as of December 31, 1996.
The Security Capital line of credit is a primary obligation of SC Realty.
Security Capital guarantees the line. SC Realty is a legal entity which is
separate and distinct from Security Capital and its affiliates, and has
separate assets, liabilities, business functions and operations.
Dividends, redemptions, repurchases of stock, or other payments or transfers in
respect of such stock are limited to 95% of Security Capital's cash flow
available for distribution if no event of default has occurred and is
continuing. During default, no such payments other than mandatory interest on
subordinated debentures may be made. Additionally, dividends, redemptions,
repurchases of stock, or other payments or transfers in respect of such stock
are limited to 100% of SC Realty's cash flow available for distribution if no
event of default has occurred and is continuing. During default, no such
payments may be made.
On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC obtained a $350,000,000 unsecured line of credit
from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT"), as agent for a group of
lenders, that replaced its previous $350,000,000 secured line of credit.
Borrowings bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 1.0% to 1.375% (currently 1.375% as compared to 1.5% under the
previous agreement) depending on ATLANTIC's debt rating. ATLANTIC currently
pays a commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit
F-38

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
balance of 0.1875%. The line of credit matures December 1998 and may be
extended for one year with the approval of MGT and the other participating
lenders.
In August 1995, ATLANTIC entered into a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs
Capital Markets, L.P. covering $100,000,000 of borrowings under the line of
credit. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a fixed rate of interest of 7.46% from February 5, 1996 to
December 17, 1996 and 7.335% thereafter. Upon expiration of the existing swap
agreement on February 5, 1997, a swap agreement with MGT took effect. The MGT
agreement provides for a fixed rate of 7.325% on $100,000,000 of borrowing
through February 5, 1998. The interest rate ATLANTIC will pay under the new
agreement will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves an investment-grade debt rating
and will range from 6.95% to 7% depending on the rating achieved. ATLANTIC paid
$332,000 more in interest during 1996 than was received under the swap
agreement. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance
by the swap counterparty; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk of loss is
minimal.
Each line requires maintenance of certain financial covenants. Security
Capital, SC Realty and ATLANTIC were in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1996.
A summary of the lines of credit borrowings as of and for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

agreement, Homestead may call for funding from PTR through March 31, 1998 for
the development of the projects acquired from PTR in the transaction. As a
result of the fundings, PTR will receive convertible mortgage notes in stated
amounts of up to $221,000,000. The notes are collaterized by Homestead
properties.

(1) Includes the fixed interest rate provided by the swap agreements, annual
fees associated with the swap agreements and credit enhancement agreement and
amortization of capitalized costs associated with the credit enhancement
agreement.
ATLANTIC paid $1,832,000 more in interest during 1996 and $575,000 more in
interest during 1995 than was received under the swap agreements. The swap
agreements cover the principal amount of the bonds, net of amounts deposited in
the principal reserve fund. ATLANTIC pays interest on that portion of bonds not
covered by the swap agreements at the variable rates as provided by the
mortgage agreements. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-
performance by the swap counterparties; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk of
loss is minimal.
Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at December 31, 1996 of
$50,714,000 and $206,963,000 serves as collateral for the conventional mortgage
notes payable and the tax-exempt mortgages, respectively.
Homestead issued warrants to PTR in exchange for entering into the funding
commitment agreements (Note 3). The costs associated with the issuance of the
warrants have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The premium/discount
(i.e. the difference between the stated amount and the funded amount), the
value attributable to the conversion feature, and the costs associated with the
warrants are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related
mortgage note payable using a method which approximates the effective interest
method. The effective interest rate on the PTR convertible mortgage note
payable after giving effect to the related discount, conversion feature, and
warrants is estimated to be 13.56%.
The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of PTR, into common shares of
Homestead common stock beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion price is equal
to one share of common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding.
Approximate principal payments due on mortgage notes payable during each of the
years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter are as

Capital. Any deferred interest accrues interest at 12% and is due upon
maturity. The Board of Directors of Security Capital approved a cash interest
payment rate of 9.939% and 9.376% per annum for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Security Capital's convertible subordinated debentures due March 29, 2016 (the
"2016 Convertible Debentures") totaling $226,520,000 at December 31, 1996 and
none at December 31, 1995 accrue interest at 6.5% per annum and require semi-
annual interest payments on the last business day of June and December.
Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offering for 2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500.
The principal amount of the 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures are
convertible into Security Capital common stock at $1,046.00 and $1,153.90 per
share, respectively, at the option of the holder any time after the earlier to
occur of (i) the first anniversary of Security Capital's initial public
offering of its common stock, (ii) July 1, 1999 and March 29, 2001 for the 2014
and 2016 Convertible Debentures, respectively, (iii) the consolidation or
merger of Security Capital with another entity (other than a merger in which
Security Capital is the surviving entity) or any sale or disposition of
substantially all the assets of Security Capital or (iv) notice of redemption
of the debentures by Security Capital. On conversion of the 2014 Convertible
Debentures, any accrued and unpaid deferred interest shall be deemed to be paid
in full upon delivery of the common shares to the debenture holder. Security
Capital may redeem the 2014 Convertible Debentures at any time and the 2016
Convertible Debentures may be redeemed at any time after March 29, 1999. To
redeem the debentures, Security Capital must provide not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior written notice to the holders. The redemption price is
par plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offerings of securities totaling $785,097,000. Such subscriptions
consist of preferred stock of $139,000,000, common stock of $323,048,500, and
2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500.
On April 1, 1996 Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of its Series A
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred
Shares"). The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000
per share for an aggregate preference of $139,000,000 plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends. The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to
voting rights, equal to the number of common shares into which the Series A
Preferred Shares are convertible, on matters of amendments of Security
Capital's Articles of Incorporation and merger of Security Capital, or sale of
substantially all assets or liquidation or dissolution, and one-half of such
number of common shares on other matters submitted to a vote of the common
shareholders. Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of
the holder at any time, into 0.76184 of Security Capital common shares (a
conversion price of $1,312.61 per share). In the event that the holder of the
Series A Preferred Shares would be prohibited under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956, as amended, from owning securities constituting or convertible
into 5% or more of the outstanding common shares, then the conversion rights of
the shares of Series A Preferred Shares by such holder shall be modified as
follows: (i) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Shares held by such
holder which may then be converted by such holder without resulting in such
holder owning 5% or more of the common shares outstanding after such conversion
shall be convertible into common shares; and (ii) any shares of Series A
Preferred Shares held by such holder in excess of the number of shares which
may then be converted as described in clause (i) will not be convertible into
common shares until such time as (and only to the extent that) (A) such shares
may be converted without resulting in such holder owning 5% or more of the
common shares outstanding after such conversion or (B) such shares are held by
a person not prohibited from owning securities constituting or convertible into
5% or more of common shares as described above. Holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of
dividends, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 7.5% of
the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $75.00 per share). Such
distributions are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. The
Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable, at the option of Security Capital,
after March 31, 1999.

Through December 31, 1996 Security Capital has received fundings for the
issuance of 215,946 shares of common stock ($226,526,000) and 2016 Convertible
Debentures ($226,526,000). Included in the fundings was $22,500,000 received
from USREALTY. USREALTY has committed to a total subscription of $110,000,000
in Security Capital's offering.
Participants in Security Capital's Debenture Interest Reinvestment Plans may
reinvest the cash portion of their interest payments applicable to Security
Capital's 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures in Security Capital common stock
at the estimated fair value per share determined as of the prior quarter end
date. As of December 31, 1996, 74,602 shares of Security Capital's common stock
have been reserved for issuance under these plans.
6. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS:
Security Capital has stock and convertible debenture option plans for
directors, officers and key employees which provide for grants of non-qualified
and incentive options. Prior to 1996, all options and warrants were issued in
units consisting of common stock and 2014 Convertible Debentures. Such options
must be exercised in units which consist of both shares and debentures. In
1996, most option grants were for common stock only. Shares totaling 262,615
have been reserved for options and warrants, including shares obtainable upon
conversion of debentures. Under all plans, the option exercise price equals the
fair value of the stock or stock and debentures, as applicable as of the date
of grant. Vesting of the options commences no more than three years from grant
date and options are fully vested no more than six years from grant date.
Options expire ten years from date of grant.
Security Capital has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
option plans. As permitted by Statement 123, Security Capital has applied its
provisions to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994. Since the
Statement 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options granted
prior to 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be
representative of such costs to be expected in future years. The pro forma
effect of Statement 123 is summarized as follows (in thousands, except share
data):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest
rates of 6.32% and 6.26%; expected lives of seven years for 1996 and 1995;
expected dividends--none; and expected volatility of 20% for both years.

In connection with ATLANTIC's acquisition of a portfolio of multifamily assets
in June 1994, Security Capital issued a warrant to the seller to purchase
40,241 shares and $30,500,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures for an aggregate
price of $60,000,000 ($865 per fully converted share).The warrant expires March
31, 1998; however, if Security Capital's common stock is not registered by that
date, the warrant will automatically be exercised according to its cashless
exercise provisions. Due to its immateriality, no value has been assigned to
the warrant in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

respectively, paid to SCI. There was no lease expense during 1994. Included
above are lease agreements with SCI with a total remaining obligation of
$10,647,000.
8. INCOME TAXES:
Security Capital accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes. Security Capital
files a consolidated Federal income tax return. Homestead also accounts for
income taxes under Statement 109 and its tax effects are included in Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements. Homestead files a separate Federal
income tax return. ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no
provisions have been made for Federal income taxes for its operations in
Security Capital's consolidated financial statements.
Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
consisted of deferred tax provisions of $30,872,000 and none, respectively.
Prior to 1995, Security Capital had elected to be taxed as a REIT; therefore
there is no tax provision for 1994. Security Capital terminated its REIT status
as of January 1, 1995 as a result of the merger with GROUP.

rate of 35% in 1996 and 1995 to the amount recorded in the consolidated
financial statements is as follows (in thousands):

Security Capital had tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately

carryforwards will expire beginning 2005 through 2010. Utilization of existing
net operating loss carryforwards is limited by IRC Section 382 (limitation on
net operating loss carryforwards following ownership change) and the Separate
Return Limitation Year ("SRLY") rules.
As mentioned above, prior to 1995, Security Capital elected to be taxed as a
REIT. For 1994, total distributions per share were $791.00, consisting of
$33.50 in cash distributions and a $757.50 debenture distribution. For Federal
income tax purposes, the estimated taxability of distributions was as follows--
ordinary income ($7.91 per share); return of capital ($783.09 per share). Also,
for the period that Security Capital elected to be taxed as a REIT, its
Accumulated Deficit included only ordinary income and did not include any
undistributed net realized gains on disposition of real estate.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Security Capital and its investees are parties to various claims and routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on discussion with
legal counsel, Security Capital does not believe that the results of all claims
and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
Security Capital's investees are subject to environmental regulations related
to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As
part of due diligence procedures, Security Capital's investees conduct Phase I
environmental assessments on each property prior to acquisition. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to Security Capital's
results of operations. Security Capital and its investees are not aware of any
environmental condition on any of their properties which is likely to have a
material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations.
At December 31, 1996, Security Capital had approximately $323,353,000 of
unfunded development commitments for developments under construction. ATLANTIC
and Homestead's commitments were $95,900,000 and $227,453,000, respectively.
10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 because of the short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the
carrying value of line of credit borrowings approximates fair value as of those
dates because the interest rates fluctuate based on published market rates. In
the opinion of management, the interest rates associated with the conventional
mortgages payable and the tax exempt mortgages payable approximate the market
interest rates for this type of instrument, and as such, the carrying values
approximate fair value at December 31, 1996 and 1995, in all material respects.
PTR's convertible mortgage notes are convertible into Homestead common stock
after March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for
every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding. The fair value of the convertible
mortgage notes (assuming conversion), based upon the trading price of
Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at December 31, 1996,
($18.00) is $176,304,000.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 24, 1997, the board of trustees or directors of SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC
each unanimously approved an agreement with Security Capital to exchange its
REIT common stock for Security Capital's REIT management and property
management companies. The transactions, subject to approval by the shareholders
of Security Capital SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC, are expected to be consummated
during the third quarter of 1997. Under the terms of the agreements, SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC, will issue $81.9 million, $75.8 million and $54.6 million of
their common stock, respectively, in exchange for Security Capital's REIT
management and property management companies and operating systems. After
giving effect to income taxes and the effect of the investees' accounting for
these acquisitions, Security Capital expects the gain on sale of the management
companies to SCI and PTR will be approximately $55,000,000. No gain will be
recorded on the sale to ATLANTIC as Security Capital consolidates ATLANTIC's
accounts.
In order to allow existing shareholders to maintain their relative ownership
interests, SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC will conduct rights offerings during the time
proxies are solicited from their shareholders. Also, as part of the
transaction, Security Capital will issue warrants to acquire $250 million of
Class B shares to the common and convertible preferred shareholders of SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC. The warrants are expected to be publicly traded and have a term
of twelve months. Security Capital expects to file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering its initial public
offering of Class B shares in the third quarter of 1997.
On April 17, 1997 Security Capital shareholders approved an amended and
restated charter which created Class A and Class B Shares. All outstanding
common stock as of April 18, 1997 was automatically changed to Class A Shares.
All references to Security Capital common stock are to Class A Shares unless
otherwise noted.

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
SCHEDULE I--CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNCONSOLIDATED)
1. INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES
Security Capital has investments in SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty") and a
Services Division. SC Realty and the entities that comprise the Services
Division are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Capital.
SC Realty commenced operations February 17, 1995 when Security Capital
contributed its investments in Security Capital Industrial Trust, Security
Capital Pacific Trust, Security Capital Pacific Incorporated and Security
Capital Atlantic Incorporated. At December 31, 1996, SC Realty holds interests
in the above-mentioned companies as well as Security Capital U.S. Realty and
Homestead Village Incorporated. The Services Division subsidiaries provide
management and property management services to the companies in which SC Realty
has made investments. The Services Division provides strategic guidance,
research, investment analysis, acquisition and development services, asset
management, property management, capital markets services and legal accounting
services. As described in note 1 to Security Capital's consolidated financial
statements, the Services Division companies were acquired January 1, 1995.
Dividends from consolidated subsidiaries amounted to $51,964,000, $47,500,000
and $35,036,000, during 1996, 1995 and 1994 respectively. In addition, during
1994 Security Capital received dividends from an unconsolidated subsidiary
amounting to $13,169,000.
Effective February 17, 1995, SC Realty became the primary obligor under
Security Capital's revolving bank line of credit. The line is guaranteed by
Security Capital and it contains financial covenants that are applicable to
both SC Realty and Security Capital. The line of credit agreement generally
requires some or all of the following: minimum net worth, liabilities to net
worth, specified interest coverage ratios and limitations on the amount
available for dividends. At December 31, 1996, SC Realty's net assets were
approximately $1.9 billion substantially all of which were restricted and
unavailable for dividends.
The SC Realty line of credit agreement provides for loans of up to $50,000,000
to Security Capital. Any unpaid principal amounts are due thirty days after
written notice from SC Realty. Interest on unpaid principal amounts is payable
monthly at the rate per annum equal to the average interest rate paid by SC
Realty under the terms of the credit agreement. If SC Realty had no borrowings
outstanding under the credit agreement, then interest would be computed using
the "base rate" (defined as the higher of the Wells Fargo prime rate or the
Federal Funds Rate plus .50%). At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security
Capital's loans payable to SC Realty amounted to $0 and $16,408,000,
respectively. Interest expense on these loans during 1996 and 1995 was
approximately $369,000 and $293,000, respectively, and is included in general,
administrative and other expenses in the accompanying condensed Statements of
Operations.
2. INCOME TAXES
Security Capital files a consolidated Federal income tax return which includes
SC Realty and the Services Division companies. At December 31, 1996 Security
Capital's consolidated net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards amounted to
approximately $61,000,000. The deferred tax asset applicable to this NOL
carryforward is entirely offset by a valuation allowance. In 1996, a deferred
tax liability was recorded by SC Realty applicable to its equity method
investments. Accordingly, Security Capital's equity in earnings of SC Realty
for 1996 has been reduced by deferred income tax expense of $30,872,000.

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994
1. GENERAL
Organization and Recent Merger:
A merger of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("GROUP") with and into
Security Capital Realty Incorporated ("REALTY") was approved by GROUP and
REALTY shareholders during the fourth quarter of 1994. The merger was effective
on January 1, 1995.
The merged entity ("Security Capital") is a private real estate company which
combines GROUP's and REALTY's two complementary businesses. The merged entity
owns controlling positions in three highly focused, fully integrated real
estate operating companies. The new entity also includes the Services Division,
which owns REIT Management and Property Management companies that direct these
operating businesses. The Services Division provides strategic guidance,
research, investment analysis, acquisition and development services, asset
management, property management, capital markets services and legal and
accounting services.
In August 1994, GROUP declared a dividend of .7242 shares to its stockholders.
The stock dividend was paid on August 22, 1994 to holders of record on August
12, 1994.
In the merger, each share of GROUP's outstanding stock was exchanged for 1.22
shares of REALTY stock. Also, each $1,000 principal amount of GROUP's 8.5%
convertible subordinated debentures was exchanged for $1,000 principal amount
of REALTY's convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2014 (the "2014
Convertible Debentures") plus 1.147 shares of REALTY stock (equaling 1.22
REALTY shares, on a fully converted basis, for each GROUP share into which the
GROUP debentures were convertible).
Each holder of an unexpired option or warrant to purchase GROUP stock or
debentures automatically received the right to exercise such option or warrant,
as the case may be (subject to the vesting provisions thereof and at the same
aggregate exercise price), for the securities of REALTY the holder could have
received pursuant to the merger had such option or warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the merger.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Financial Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
GROUP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Depreciation:
Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed over the estimated useful
lives (generally 3 to 10 years) of the depreciable property on a straight-line
basis.
Goodwill:
Goodwill results from acquisitions of financial services companies and
represents acquisition costs in excess of net assets of the businesses
acquired. Goodwill, aggregating $12,540,111 at December 31, 1994, is included
in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15-20 years. Accumulated amortization
at December 31, 1994 was $723,806.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and investments in
money market funds.
3. SERVICES DIVISION
GROUP's Services Division owns REIT Management (defined below) and Property
Management companies which direct the operations and provide services to the
highly focused, fully integrated real estate operating companies REALTY owns.
F-66
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Under the terms of separate agreements, GROUP's financial services subsidiaries
manage the operations of separate affiliated REITs ("REIT Managers") and
provide property management services to those REITs ("Property Managers"). Each
REIT Manager is paid a REIT Management fee based on a percentage of the REIT's
pre-management fee cash flow, after deducting regularly scheduled and assumed
mortgage principal payments, as defined in the REIT management agreements. The
fee is generally 16% of cash flow for operating REITs. The fee was 4% of cash
flow with respect to REALTY, except with respect to REALTY's cash flow from
affiliates in which it owns 90% or more of the common stock, as to which no fee
was paid by REALTY. The REIT and Property Management Agreements are generally
one year in term, renewable annually by the affiliated REIT and cancelable upon
sixty days' notice. Property management fees are at market rates and are paid
separately to GROUP's property management subsidiaries.
REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
earned from the following sources:
<TABLE>

On June 5, 1994, REALTY declared a dividend distribution, payable to holders of
common stock of record on June 16, 1994, (the record date) of $757.50 principal
amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures for each share of common stock. These

==========
</TABLE>
Lease expense for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $1,539,052. Included
above is a ten-year lease agreement, which began February 1, 1994, with
Security Capital Industrial Trust, an affiliate, with a total remaining
obligation of $2,528,000.
8. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The debentures bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum. GROUP may defer
annually interest at the rate of 4.5%, which is payable at the maturity of the
debentures (or earlier if the Board so directs). The balance of the interest
amount (4%) is payable to the extent of the net cash flow of GROUP and may be
deferred until payable out of net cash flow. Any amounts deferred accrue
interest at the rate of 8.5%. On January 1, 1995 all 8.5% convertible
subordinated debentures were exchanged for REALTY 2014 Convertible Debentures
and shares of REALTY stock (see Notes 1 and 6). In conjunction with the merger
with REALTY (see Note 1), all current and deferred accrued interest, amounting
to $8,284,407, was paid on December 31, 1994.
On March 31, 1994 GROUP issued $9,833,470 principal amount of 8.5% convertible
subordinated debentures, pursuant to a rights offering to existing
shareholders.
9. INCOME TAXES
GROUP has no significant deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities other
than its net operating loss carryforwards incurred from inception through
December 31, 1994. No tax benefits applicable to such operating losses have
been recognized, since GROUP would be unable to carry the operating loss back
to prior periods for federal income tax purposes. GROUP has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $18,310,000 at December 31, 1994. If not
previously utilized, the loss carryforwards will expire beginning 2005 through
2009. Subsequent to the merger (see Note 1), utilization of existing net
operating loss carryforwards may be limited by IRC Section 382 (limitation on
net operating loss carryforwards following ownership change) and the Separate
Return Limitation Year ("SRLY") rules.
10. SHARE OPTION PLAN
GROUP's Board of Directors has approved stock option plans and warrants for
officers and directors. The plans permit options to be granted to directors and
non-director employees to acquire units of Class B Common Non-voting Stock and
8.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2006.

vested on January 1, 1996. These options expire December 31, 2002. Of the
options granted to employees, options for 2,664 shares and $3,785,503 of
debentures are fully vested and expire January 1, 1997. The remaining employee
options vest over a period from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2002, and
expire December 31, 2002. Under the 1995 Option Plan, 1,311 shares and $993,367
of debentures were granted to employees. The 1995 Option Plan is subject to
shareholder approval. If shareholder approval is not received, options will
convert to "phantom" options. If that conversion occurs, on the option's
expiration date the option holder will receive cash equal to the net value of
the option.
The Warrants granted to a director who is also an officer are fully vested and
expire on December 31, 2002. No options or warrants have been exercised.
11. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On May 12, 1994, GROUP entered into an asset purchase agreement with Laing
Properties, Incorporated and Laing Management Company. The total purchase price
was $6,000,000 cash and the entire amount was recorded as goodwill. The
transaction occurred simultaneously with Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated's acquisition of $336 million of multifamily real estate
properties. A subsidiary of GROUP is managing these properties.
On October 28, 1994, subsidiary of GROUP entered into an asset purchase
agreement with The Krauss/Schwartz Company. The total purchase price was
$1,500,000 cash and the entire amount was recorded as goodwill. The transaction
occurred simultaneously with Security Capital Industrial Trust's acquisition of
$89 million of industrial real estate properties. These properties are managed
by a subsidiary of GROUP.
In a series of transactions completed in January 1994, GROUP acquired all the
outstanding stock of WilsonSchanzer, Inc., a multifamily property management
company, and renamed it SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("REALTY SERVICES").
As part of the consideration, GROUP issued a $250,000 note payable and a three-
year option to purchase Class B common stock and debentures for an exercise
price of $270,000. The note payable bears interest at Texas Commerce Bank prime
rate plus 1/4% and is exchangeable for stock of REALTY. GROUP also acquired the
assignment of rights under a management agreement from the selling shareholders
for $560,000, payable in four equal, annual installments expiring January 31,
1997.
Goodwill applicable to these transactions is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15-20 years (see Note 2).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of SECURITY CAPITAL
PACIFIC TRUST as of March 31, 1997, and the related condensed statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These condensed financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed financial statements referred to above for them to be
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST as of December
31, 1996, and the related statements of earnings, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report
dated January 29, 1997, except as to Note 13, which is as of March 10, 1997, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
(UNAUDITED)
(1) GENERAL
The condensed financial statements of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST ("PTR")
are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements have been omitted. While management of PTR
believes that the disclosures presented are adequate, these interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes included in PTR's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of PTR's financial
statements for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The accounts of PTR and its majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in the
accompanying condensed financial statements. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain of the 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1997
presentation.
Per Share Data
Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share ("Common
Share(s)"), outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per Common Share is calculated
from the weighted average Common Shares outstanding plus the Common Shares that
would be outstanding assuming conversion of the weighted average number of
outstanding cumulative convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial
Interest, par value $1.00 per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"), outstanding
Trustee options and certain warrants exercisable by third parties. For purposes
of the fully diluted earnings per share calculation, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares are added back to net earnings attributable to Common Shares.
Primary earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were
approximately the same for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
PTR will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
Earnings per Share, which changes the method used to compute earnings per share
in the fourth quarter of 1997. The impact of SFAS No. 128 on the calculation of
PTR's earnings per share is not expected to be material.

At March 31, 1997, PTR had contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject
to PTR's final due diligence and approval of all entitlements, to acquire land
for the development of an estimated 4,621 multifamily units with an aggregate
estimated development cost of approximately $411.9 million. At the same date,
PTR also had contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject to final due
diligence, for the acquisition of 897 additional operating multifamily units
with a total expected investment of $79.7 million, including planned
renovations.
At March 31, 1997, PTR had unfunded development commitments for developments
under construction of $132.0 million.

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Gains and Provision for Possible Loss on Investments
Each year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on an
ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Real Estate Research Group Incorporated,
and in an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to
time seek to dispose of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's
long-term investment objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions
are redeployed, typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in
PTR's view offer better long-term cash flow growth prospects. As a result of
this asset optimization strategy, PTR disposed of 12 multifamily communities
and one industrial building during the first quarter of 1997, representing
gross proceeds of $142.1 million, and disposed of four multifamily communities
during the first quarter of 1996, representing gross proceeds of $39.5 million.
As of March 31, 1997, PTR held a portion of the 1997 disposition proceeds
aggregating $59 million in an interest bearing escrow account, pending
acquisition of other multifamily communities to complete the tax-deferred
exchange. For federal income tax purposes, the majority of the 1997 and 1996
dispositions were structured as tax-deferred exchanges which deferred gain
recognition. For financial reporting purposes, however, the transactions
qualified for profit recognition and aggregate gains of $25.3 million and $2.9
million were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
As part of PTR's asset optimization strategy, 18 multifamily communities were
held for disposition as of March 31, 1997. The aggregate carrying value of
properties held for disposition was approximately $144.0 million at March 31,
1997, net of a provision for possible loss of $1.5 million on certain
communities. A substantial aggregate gain is expected upon the disposition of
the remaining communities, although generally accepted accounting principles
disallows recognition of anticipated gains. Each community's carrying value is
less than or equal to its estimated fair market value, net of estimated costs
to sell. Such communities are not depreciated during the period for which they
are determined to be held for disposition. Subject to normal closing risks, PTR
expects to complete the disposition of all communities during 1997 and redeploy
the net proceeds from such dispositions, where appropriate, through tax-
deferred exchanges into the acquisition of multifamily communities. The
property level earnings, after interest and depreciation, from communities held
for disposition at March 31, 1997 which are included in PTR's earnings from
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $3.0 million
and $2.8 million, respectively.
(3) HOMESTEAD NOTES
In addition to multifamily investment activity, PTR had developed and operated
extended-stay lodging facilities under the Homestead Village(R) name since
1992. On October 17, 1996, PTR contributed its Homestead Village(R) properties
to Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead"), a newly formed company, in
exchange for Homestead securities. As of the contribution date, the Homestead
Village(R) properties constituted approximately 7.1% of PTR's total assets, at
cost. The Homestead Village(R) properties generated approximately 7.2% of PTR's
Net Operating Income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996.
During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, PTR funded an additional
$16.3 million under its $198.8 million commitment to provide development
funding to Homestead in the form of convertible mortgage notes ("Homestead
Notes"), resulting in a total amount funded of $117.4 million as of March 31,
1997.

</TABLE>
The Homestead Notes are convertible into Homestead common stock after March 31,
1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
principal face amount outstanding. Accordingly, fair value was calculated based
upon the conversion value of the Homestead Notes using the trading price of
Homestead common stock at March 31, 1997 of $16.875. The fair value adjustment
is recognized as an unrealized gain in shareholders' equity.
PTR expects to complete the funding of the remaining $81.4 million under its
funding commitment in 1997 and early 1998.
(4) BORROWINGS
Credit Facilities
PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with Texas Commerce
Bank, National Association ("TCB"), as agent for a group of financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"). The line matures in August 1998 and
may be extended annually for an additional year with the approval of the
Lenders. The line of credit bears interest at the greater of prime (8.5% at
March 31, 1997) or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or at PTR's option, LIBOR
(5.6875% at March 31, 1997) plus 1.125% (6.8125% at March 31, 1997). The spread
over LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based upon the
rating of PTR's long-term unsecured senior notes ("Long-Term Debt").
Additionally, there is a commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit
balance. The commitment fee was $75,000 and $110,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
A summary of PTR's line of credit borrowings is as follows (dollars in

On September 9, 1996, PTR entered into a short-term, unsecured, borrowing
agreement with TCB. The loan matures March 18, 1998 and bears interest at an
overnight rate which ranged from 5.94% to 6.50% during the three months ended
March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1997, there was $365,000 outstanding under this
agreement.

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
On March 10, 1997, PTR borrowed $60 million under a short-term, unsecured,
borrowing agreement with a financial institution. The loan matures on September
10, 1997, but provides for early repayment at PTR's option on the 10th day of
each month during the term. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of
LIBOR plus 0.60% (6.2875% at March 31, 1997). On April 4, 1997, PTR borrowed an
additional $40 million under a short-term, unsecured, borrowing agreement with
the same financial institution, having approximately the same interest rate and
repayment terms. The proceeds from both loans were used to repay borrowings
under PTR's line of credit.
The aggregate amount of borrowings outstanding under all of PTR's credit
facilities at March 31, 1997 was $193.9 million.
Long-Term Debt
PTR has issued Long-Term Debt which bear interest at fixed rates, payable semi-
annually. Funds from such issuances were used primarily for acquisition,
development and renovation of multifamily communities and to repay balances on
credit facilities incurred for such purposes. The following table summarizes

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
Amortization of loan costs included in interest expense for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $729,000 and $418,000, respectively.
(5) CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
PTR paid the first quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share on
February 20, 1997. On April 22, 1997 the Board of Trustees (the "Board")
declared a cash distribution of $0.325 per Common Share, payable on May 29,
1997, to shareholders of record on May 13, 1997. On March 31, 1997, PTR paid
quarterly dividends of $0.4377 per cumulative convertible Series A Preferred
Share and $0.5625 per cumulative redeemable Series B Preferred Share to
preferred shareholders of record on March 17, 1997.
(6) SHELF REGISTRATION
On March 27, 1997, PTR filed a $300 million shelf registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities can be issued in the form
of Long-Term Debt, Preferred Shares or Common Shares on an as-needed basis,
subject to PTR's ability to effect offerings on satisfactory terms. As of March
31, 1997, a total of $420 million in shelf-registered securities were available
to be issued.
(7) REIT MANAGER AND PROPERTY MANAGER ACQUISITION PROPOSAL
Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT Management agreement with
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), to provide REIT
Management services to PTR. The REIT Manager is a subsidiary of Security
Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital Group"), which owned
approximately 36% of PTR's outstanding Common Shares as of March 31, 1997.
SCG Realty Services Incorporated (the "Property Manager"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Security Capital Group, managed 95.03% and 86.61% (based on total
expected investment) of PTR's operating multifamily communities as of March 31,
1997, and 1996, respectively. Rates for services performed by SCG Realty
Services are subject to annual approval by PTR's independent Trustees (who
receive an annual review from an independent third party). Management believes
that such rates are consistent with those prevailing in the markets in which
PTR operates.
On May 1, 1997, Security Capital Group filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing PTR's preliminary proxy
statement and Security Capital Group's preliminary prospectus (relating to
warrants to purchase Class B common stock of Security Capital Group) relating
to a proposed merger transaction whereby PTR would acquire the operations and
businesses of its REIT Manager and Property Manager in exchange for Common
Shares, valued at approximately $75.8 million. The number of Common Shares
issuable to Security Capital Group will depend on the average market price of
the Common Shares over the five-day period prior to the record date, subject to
such average not being more than $27.11475 or less than $21.63525. As a result
of the transaction, PTR would become an internally managed REIT and Security
Capital Group would remain PTR's largest shareholder. The Board recently
approved the proposed merger transaction based on the recommendation of a
special committee comprised of independent Trustees. The proposed merger
transaction requires the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding Common
Shares. PTR's proxy statement, after review and clearance by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common shareholders prior to a
shareholder vote.

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Security Capital Pacific Trust (New York Stock Exchange Symbol: "PTR") is an
equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized in 1963 under the laws
of the state of Maryland, which primarily owns, develops, acquires and operates
income-producing multifamily communities in the western United States.
Principles of Financial Presentation
The accounts of PTR and its majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in the
accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
PTR considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of estimated
fair market value.
Costs directly related to the acquisition (including costs related to certain
planned renovations identified during PTR's pre-acquisition due diligence),
development or improvement of real estate, and certain indirect costs related
to developments are capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit
of unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the
pursuit is abandoned.
Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property
on a straight-line basis. Real estate assets are depreciated principally over
the following useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements 20-40 years
Furnishings and other 2-10 years
</TABLE>
Make-Ready and Repairs and Maintenance
Make-ready (expenditures incurred in preparing a vacant multifamily unit for
the next tenant) and repairs and maintenance expenditures, other than
acquisition-related renovation costs identified during PTR's pre-acquisition
due diligence, are expensed as incurred. PTR generally expenses carpet and
appliance repairs and replacements after any planned acquisition-related
renovation expenditures for such items have been incurred.
Interest
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid in cash on all outstanding
debt, net of interest capitalized, was $23,631,000, $17,674,000 and
$11,949,000, respectively.
PTR capitalizes interest incurred during the construction period as part of the
cost of multifamily communities under development. Interest capitalized during
1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated $16,941,000, $11,741,000 and $6,029,000,
respectively.
Cost of Raising Capital
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity securities are
deducted from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the
issuance or renewal of debt are capitalized as other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan or the renewal period. Amortization of loan costs
included in interest expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,233,000, $1,543,000
and $1,903,000, respectively.
F-89
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Interest Rate Contracts
From time to time, PTR utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in
anticipation of future debt offerings to manage well-defined interest rate
risk. Unrealized changes in the market value of interest rate contracts are
deferred until the hedged transaction is consummated and realized gains and
losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contracts are
deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt
issuance.
Revenue and Gain Recognition
PTR leases its multifamily units under operating leases with terms of generally
less than one year. Rental income is recognized according to the terms of the
underlying leases which approximates the revenue which would be recognized if
spread evenly over the lease term.
Gains on sales of real estate are recorded when the recognition criteria set
forth by generally accepted accounting principles have been met.
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statement of Earnings include costs
of on-site personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, make-ready, property
insurance, marketing, landscaping, property management fees paid to
unaffiliated companies, and other on-site administrative costs.
Federal Income Taxes
PTR has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. PTR believes it qualifies as a REIT and, accordingly, no
provisions have been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying
financial statements.
Per Share Data
Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share ("Common
Shares"), outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per Common Share is calculated
from the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding plus the Common Shares that
would be outstanding assuming conversion of all outstanding cumulative
convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $1.00
per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"), outstanding Trustee options and
certain warrants exercisable by third parties (Note 8). For purposes of the
fully diluted earnings per share calculation, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares are added back to net earnings attributable to Common Shares.
Primary earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were
approximately the same for each of the three years presented, although there
was reportable dilution for the third quarter of 1996. See Note 10.
Reclassifications
Certain of the 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation.
(2) HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
On October 17, 1996, PTR, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"),
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") and Homestead Village
Incorporated ("Homestead") consummated a merger agreement pursuant to which
each of PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital contributed, through a series of
merger transactions, all of their respective assets related to their Homestead
Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets to Homestead, a newly formed company.
In connection with the transaction, PTR and ATLANTIC entered into funding
commitment agreements to finance the development of certain Homestead
properties.
PTR contributed 54 Homestead Village(R) properties (or the rights to acquire
such properties) ("Homestead Assets") to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock. Simultaneously, PTR received 6,363,789
warrants to acquire additional shares of Homestead common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share in exchange for entering into a funding commitment agreement.
In this agreement PTR agreed to provide up to $198.8 million in secured
financing for developments to Homestead in exchange for up to $221.3 million in
convertible mortgage notes ("Homestead Notes"), including those existing on the
properties at the transaction date. See Note 5 for information on the Homestead
Notes.

<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Upon full funding of the Homestead Notes and after giving effect to the
Homestead Distribution described below, PTR's conversion rights would represent
a 34.7% ownership interest in Homestead. This ownership interest assumes no
further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all Homestead Notes by PTR
and ATLANTIC and exercise of all outstanding warrants.
PTR's Homestead common stock and warrants to acquire additional common stock
were distributed on November 12, 1996 to holders of record of Common Shares on
October 29, 1996 (the "Homestead Distribution"). Each PTR shareholder received
0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock and 0.084326 warrants per PTR Common
Share plus cash for fractional shares and warrants.
As of October 17, 1996, the Homestead Assets owned by PTR constituted 7.1% of
PTR's total assets, and PTR's investment in its wholly owned Homestead Village
subsidiaries, including intercompany advances, constituted less than 1% of
PTR's total assets. PTR's Homestead Village(R) operations accounted for
approximately 8.2% of PTR's total earnings from operations from January 1, 1996
to October 17, 1996.
The Homestead transaction had the following impact on PTR's balance sheet as of
October 17, 1996, after giving effect to the Homestead Distribution (in
thousands):

(3) 1995 MERGER OF SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC INCORPORATED AND CONCURRENT
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
On March 23, 1995, PTR consummated a merger (the "Merger") of Security Capital
Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"), a Maryland corporation, with and into PTR.
PACIFIC was a private multifamily REIT controlled by Security Capital, PTR's
principal shareholder. PACIFIC's portfolio consisted primarily of 17 operating
multifamily communities aggregating 5,579 units. In the Merger, each
outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock was converted into the right to
receive 0.611 Common Shares. As a result, 8,468,460 of PTR's Common Shares
valued at $138.7 million ($16.375 per share) were issued in the Merger in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of PACIFIC common stock. In
addition, PTR assumed $51.9 million on PACIFIC's line of credit and $54.4
million of mortgage debt. The Merger has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations of PACIFIC have been included in PTR's
financial statements from March 23, 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The following summarized pro forma (unaudited) information assumes the Merger
occurred on January 1, 1994, and represents the combined historical operating
results of PTR and PACIFIC for the respective pro forma periods. No material
pro forma adjustments to revenue and expenses were required. The weighted-
average Common Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the Merger
conversion rate (0.611 Common Shares for each share of PACIFIC common stock).
The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
operations that would have occurred had PACIFIC and PTR constituted a single
entity during such periods (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, PTR completed a subscription

proceeds of $216.3 million. The subscription offering was designed to allow
shareholders of PTR to purchase Common Shares at the same price at which
PACIFIC shareholders acquired Common Shares in the Merger ($16.375 per Common
Share). Security Capital purchased $50 million (3.1 million Common Shares at
$16.375 per Common Share) in the subscription offering pursuant to the
oversubscription privilege.

At January 29, 1997, PTR had contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject
to PTR's final due diligence, to acquire land for the near term development of
an estimated 3,507 multifamily units with an aggregate estimated development
cost of $264.5 million. At the same date, PTR also had contingent contracts or
letters of intent, subject to final due diligence, for the acquisition of 964
additional operating multifamily units with a total expected investment of
$77.2 million, including planned renovations.
At January 29, 1997, PTR had unfunded development commitments for developments
under construction of $158.8 million.
Pre-Sale Agreements and Development Subsidiary
To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily communities
which meet PTR's investment criteria, PTR has and will enter into presale
agreements with third-party owner/developers to acquire communities developed
by such owner/developers. PTR has and will fund such developments through
mortgage loans on the communities. For financial reporting purposes, these
transactions are recorded as real estate developments rather than mortgage
loans due to PTR's commitment to acquire these properties upon completion.
In addition, to provide greater flexibility for the use of land acquired for
development and to facilitate disposition of excess parcels, PTR has and will
make mortgage loans to PTR Development Services Incorporated ("PTR Development
Services") to purchase land for development. PTR may also fund developments of
multifamily communities by PTR Development Services where the particular
community or submarket does not meet PTR's objectives for long-term ownership
but presents an attractive investment opportunity. PTR owns all of the
preferred stock of PTR Development Services, which entitles PTR to
substantially all of the net operating cash flow (95%) of PTR Development
Services. An unaffiliated trust owns all of the common stock of PTR Development
Services. The common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net
operating cash flow.
As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of development and mortgage
loans made by PTR to third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services
aggregated $127.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The activities of
third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services are consolidated with
PTR's activities and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Gains and Provision for Loss on Real Estate and Investments
Each year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on an
ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated and in
an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to time seek
to dispose of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's long-term
investment objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions will be
redeployed, typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in PTR's
view offer better long-term cash flow growth prospects. As a result of this
asset optimization strategy, PTR disposed of 22 multifamily communities and one
industrial building during 1996, representing aggregate net proceeds of $291.1
million, and disposed of one multifamily property in the fourth quarter of
1995, representing net proceeds of $8.8 million. For federal income tax
purposes, the majority of the dispositions were structured as tax-deferred
exchanges which deferred gain recognition. For financial reporting purposes,
however, the transactions qualified for profit recognition and aggregate gains
of $37.5 million and $2.6 million were recorded for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by PTR effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, PTR
did not recognize any losses on the date it adopted SFAS No. 121.
As part of PTR's asset optimization strategy, 19 communities and two non-
multifamily properties were held for disposition as of December 31, 1996. The
aggregate carrying value of properties held for disposition was $178.9 million
at December 31, 1996. Each property's carrying value is less than or equal to
its estimated fair market value, net of estimated costs to sell. Such
properties are not depreciated during the period for which they are determined
to be held for disposition. Subject to normal closing risks, PTR expects to
complete the disposition of all properties during 1997 and redeploy the net
proceeds from such dispositions through tax-deferred exchanges into the
acquisition of multifamily communities. The earnings from operations for
properties held for dispositions which are included in PTR's earnings from
operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $15.8 million, $15.3 million and $10.5
million, respectively.
PTR's other real estate investments are periodically evaluated for impairment
and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As a result of such
evaluation, PTR recorded a provision for possible loss of $220,000 and
$1,600,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively, relating to a non-multifamily
investment which was subsequently sold in October 1995. Also, during 1995 it
was determined that PTR could potentially be liable for certain maintenance
items under the terms of a 1993 master lease agreement on a non-multifamily
property which resulted in the recording of an estimated provision for loss of
$200,000. The recording of a provision for loss has no impact on cash flow from
operating activities. As of December 31, 1996, PTR's real estate investments
were carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of estimated fair
market value.
(5) MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
Homestead Convertible Mortgage Notes
In connection with the Homestead transaction described in Note 2 and pursuant
to fundings which have occurred under the funding commitment agreement, PTR
holds Homestead Notes. The Homestead Notes were created under a master facility
providing for aggregate fundings of up to $198.8 million in exchange for
Homestead Notes with a face amount of up to $221.3 million. Under the terms of
the funding commitment agreement, PTR receives approximately $1.00 in principal
amount of Homestead Notes for every $.90 funded (i.e., the Homestead Notes are
issued at a discount). The discount is amortized into interest income over the
term of the Homestead Notes using a method which approximates the effective
interest method. Maximum fundings are established for each individual
development project and specific liens are recorded to secure payment. The
Homestead Notes are cross-collateralized, which enables PTR to foreclose or
take possession of any one or more of the underlying properties upon the
occurrence of an event of default. The Homestead Notes require semi-annual
interest-only payments at 9%
F-94
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
per annum of the face amount of the Homestead Notes outstanding, are callable
at the option of Homestead after 5 years and mature on October 31, 2006.
The Homestead Notes are convertible into Homestead common stock after March 31,
1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
principal amount outstanding, subject to adjustment. The initial value
attributed to the conversion feature has been recorded as an additional
component of the Homestead Notes' balance and the corresponding discount is
being amortized into interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes using
a method which approximates the effective interest method. The difference
between the fair value of the Homestead Notes (assuming conversion), based upon
the trading price of Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at
December 31, 1996, ($18.00) and the amortized cost of the Homestead Notes is
reflected as an additional component of the Homestead Notes' balance and as an
unrealized holding gain in Shareholders' Equity.
As described in Note 2, PTR also received Homestead warrants in exchange for
entering into the funding commitment agreement. The warrants were distributed
to PTR shareholders with the Homestead common stock. The value associated with
the receipt of the Homestead warrants has been recorded as deferred revenue
which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying
1996 Balance Sheet and is being amortized into interest income using a method
which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the Homestead
Notes.
The effective interest rate on the Homestead Notes as a percentage of the
"funded" balance, including amortization of discount and deferred revenue, is
approximately 12.4% per annum (10.7% excluding conversion feature and warrant-
related amortization).
Following is a reconciliation of the Homestead Notes' components described
above to the amount reflected in the accompanying 1996 Balance Sheet (in
thousands).

Credit Facilities
PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with Texas Commerce
Bank, National Association ("TCB"), as agent for a group of financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"). The line matures August 1998 and
may be extended annually for an additional year with the approval of the
Lenders. The line of credit bears interest at the greater of prime (8.25% at
December 31, 1996) or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or at PTR's option,
LIBOR (5.50% at December 31, 1996) plus 1.125% (6.625% at December 31, 1996).
The spread over LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based
upon the rating of PTR's senior unsecured debt. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance. The commitment
fee was $396,000, $502,000 and $224,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
A summary of PTR's line of credit borrowings is as follows (dollars in

(7) DISTRIBUTIONS
PTR's distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a conservative
percentage of cash flow while maintaining its status as a REIT which generally
requires annual distributions of at least 95% of PTR's taxable income.
PTR announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced an increase in the annual
distribution level from $1.24 to $1.30 per Common Share and declared the first
quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share. The first quarter
distribution was paid on February 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on
February 7, 1997. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of
the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results
of PTR.
Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares, PTR is restricted from declaring
or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless all
cumulative distributions with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid
and sufficient funds have been set aside for Preferred Share distributions that
have been declared.
PTR made total cash distributions of $1.24 per Common Share in 1996, $1.15 per
Common Share in 1995 and $1.00 per Common Share in 1994. In addition, on
November 12, 1996, PTR distributed 0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock
and warrants to purchase 0.084326 shares of Homestead common stock per Common
Share in the Homestead Distribution to each holder of record of Common Shares
on October 29, 1996.
For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
cash distributions paid on the Common Shares in 1995 and 1994 and the estimated
taxability for 1996:

$0.19 was taxable as a capital gain and $0.91 was treated as a return of
capital.
On July 21, 1994, in addition to the normal Common Share distributions paid,
PTR redeemed the shareholder purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights
Agreement dated as of February 23, 1990, as amended. Pursuant to the
redemption, each holder of record at the close of business on July 21, 1994 was
entitled to receive $0.01 per shareholder purchase right. The redemption price
was paid on August 12, 1994 and was taxable as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes.

Due to the increase in the conversion ratio (Note 8) resulting from the
Homestead Distribution to holders of Common Shares, holders of Series A
Preferred Shares were deemed to have received a distribution of $2.43 on
November 12, 1996 for federal income tax purposes. Of this amount, $1.19 was
taxable as ordinary income, $0.22 was taxable as a capital gain and $1.02 was
treated as a return of capital.
PTR's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1996 has not been filed, and
the taxability information for 1996 is based upon the best available data.
PTR's tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of the dividends is subject to
change.
(8) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Shares of Beneficial Interest
At December 31, 1996, 150,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, par value
$1.00 per share, were authorized. The Board is authorized to issue, from the
authorized but unissued shares of PTR, preferred shares in series and to
establish from time to time the number of preferred shares to be included in
such series and to fix the designation and any preferences, conversion and
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions,
qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each
series.
Series A Preferred Shares
The Series A Preferred Shares issued in November 1993 have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference at
December 31, 1996 of $162.4 million plus any accrued but unpaid distributions.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting
rights under certain conditions. During 1996, 2,705,000 of PTR's Series A
Preferred Shares were converted, at the option of the holders, into 3,294,000
Common Shares (an implied conversion ratio of 1.2178 Common Shares for each
Series A Preferred Share, which is a combination of the original conversion
ratio of 1.2162 and the adjusted ratio discussed below).
As a result of the Homestead Distribution, PTR adjusted the conversion price of
its Series A Preferred Shares, effective as of the opening of business on
October 30, 1996, from $20.556 to $18.561 per Common Share (a conversion ratio
of 1.3469 Common Shares for each Series A Preferred Share), as required by the
Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Shares. Distributions
on the Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative in an amount per share equal to
the greater of $1.75 per annum or the annualized quarterly PTR distribution
rate on the Common Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are
convertible. The Series A
F-101
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Preferred Share dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of
March, June, September and December of each year. Based on the projected 1997
distribution level of $1.30 per Common Share, the projected 1997 dividend on
the Series A Preferred Shares is $1.751 per share. The Series A Preferred
Shares are redeemable at the option of PTR after November 30, 2003.
Series B Preferred Shares
The Series B Preferred Shares issued in May 1995 have a liquidation preference
of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference of $105.0 million
plus any accrued but unpaid distributions. The net proceeds (after underwriting
commissions and other offering costs) to PTR from the sale of the Series B
Preferred Shares were $101.4 million. On and after May 24, 2000, the Series B
Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of PTR, in whole or in
part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid
distributions, if any, to the redemption date. The redemption price (other than
the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable
solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of PTR, which may
include shares of other series of preferred shares. The holders of the Series B
Preferred Shares have no preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the
capital securities of PTR or any other securities of PTR convertible into or
carrying rights or options to purchase any such shares. The Series B Preferred
Shares have no stated maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund or other
obligation of PTR to redeem or retire the Series B Preferred Shares and are not
convertible into any other securities of PTR. In addition, holders of the
Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions,
cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 9% of the liquidation
preference per annum (equivalent to $2.25 per share). Such distributions are
cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears
on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are collectively
referred to as "Preferred Shares." The net proceeds from the sale of Preferred
Shares were used primarily for the acquisition, development and renovation of
multifamily communities, and to repay revolving credit balances incurred for
such purposes.
Both series of Preferred Shares rank on a parity as to distributions and
liquidation proceeds.
All dividends due and payable on Preferred Shares have been accrued and paid as
of the end of each fiscal year and, accordingly, are reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
Option Plan
In January 1987, PTR adopted its Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the
"1987 Plan"). There are 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options which could have been granted to independent Trustees under
the 1987 Plan. All options granted are for a term of five years and are
exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise price of the options granted may
not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. At December 31,
1996, there were 32,000 options for Common Shares outstanding and exercisable
under the 1987 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $10.625 to $21.50 per
Common Share. No further options may be granted under the 1987 Plan.
Outstanding Warrants
As a result of the Merger discussed in Note 3, warrants to acquire 140,530
Common Shares at an exercise price of $14.21 per share were outstanding as of
December 31, 1996. These warrants are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution
and expire on November 8, 1999.

the Preferred Shares restrict beneficial ownership (or ownership generally
attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of PTR's outstanding shares by
a single person, or persons acting as a group, to 9.8% of the Common Shares and
25% of each series of Preferred Shares. The purpose of these provisions are to
assist in protecting and preserving PTR's REIT status and to protect the
interests of shareholders in takeover transactions by preventing the
acquisition of a substantial block of shares unless the acquiror makes a cash
tender offer for all outstanding shares. For PTR to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, not more than 50% in value of its
outstanding capital shares
F-102

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
may be owned by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of
PTR's taxable year. The provision permits five persons to acquire up to a
maximum of 9.8% each of the Common Shares, or an aggregate of 49% of the
outstanding Common Shares, and thus assists the Trustees in protecting and
preserving PTR's REIT status for tax purposes.
Common Shares owned by a person or group of persons in excess of the 9.8% limit
are subject to redemption by PTR. The provision does not apply where a majority
of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives such limit after
determining that the eligibility of PTR to qualify as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes will not be jeopardized or the disqualification of PTR as a REIT
is advantageous to the shareholders.
The Board has permitted Security Capital, the owner of the REIT Manager (see
Note 9), to acquire up to 49% of PTR's fully converted Common Shares. Security
Capital Group's ownership of Common Shares is attributed for tax purposes to
its shareholders. Security Capital Group owned 36.3% of PTR's total outstanding
Common Shares at December 31, 1996. Pursuant to an agreement between Security
Capital Group and PTR, Security Capital Group has agreed to acquire no more
than 49% of the fully converted Common Shares except pursuant to an all-cash
tender offer for all Common Shares held open for 90 days. Security Capital
Group would have no limitation on making a tender offer if an unrelated third
party commences such a tender offer.
Purchase Rights
In 1994, the Board authorized the distribution of one preferred share purchase
right (a "Purchase Right") for each Common Share outstanding at the close of
business on July 21, 1994. Holders of additional Common Shares issued after
July 21, 1994 and prior to the expiration of the Purchase Rights on July 21,
2004 will be entitled to one Purchase Right for each additional Common Share.
Each Purchase Right entitles the holder under certain circumstances to purchase
from PTR one one-hundredth of a share of a series of Junior Participating
Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Participating Preferred
Shares"), at a price of $60.00 per one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred
Share, subject to adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or
group of persons acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the fully
converted Common Shares (49% in the case of Security Capital Group and certain
defined affiliates), commences or announces a tender offer or exchange offer
which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons
of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of Security
Capital Group and certain defined affiliates) or files or announces their
intention to file with any regulatory authority an application seeking approval
of any transaction which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person
of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of Security
Capital Group and certain defined affiliates). Under certain circumstances,
each Purchase Right entitles the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's
then current exercise price, a number of Common Shares having a market value of
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition of PTR pursuant to
certain mergers or other business transactions would entitle each holder to
purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of the
acquiring company's common shares having a market value at that time equal to
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights will expire in
July 2004 and are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at a price
of $0.01 per Purchase Right payable in cash, shares of PTR or any other form of
consideration determined by the Board.
Shelf Registration
On September 27, 1996, PTR filed a $300 million shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities can be issued in
the form of unsecured debt and preferred shares of beneficial interest on an
as-needed basis, subject to PTR's ability to effect an offering on satisfactory
terms. As of December 31, 1996, $170 million in securities were available to be
issued under this shelf registration.
(9) REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT management agreement (the
"REIT Management Agreement") with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the
"REIT Manager"), pursuant to which the REIT Manager assumed day-to-day
management of PTR. All officers of PTR are employees of the REIT Manager and
PTR currently has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and
day-to-day management services to PTR, including
F-103

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
research, investment analysis, acquisition, development, dispositions, property
management, capital markets, legal, accounting and other administrative
services. The REIT Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital
Group (see Note 8).
The REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of $855,000
plus 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement in excess of
$4,837,000, payable monthly. In the REIT Management Agreement, cash flow is
calculated by reference to PTR's cash flow from operations plus (i) fees paid
to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the request of the
independent Trustees of PTR and (iii) 33% of any interest paid by PTR on
convertible subordinated debentures (of which there has been none since
inception of the REIT Management Agreement); and after deducting (i) regularly
scheduled principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon payments) for
debt with commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii) actual or
assumed principal and interest payments on long-term debt, (iii) interest
income received in connection with the Homestead Notes resulting from the
Homestead transaction discussed in Notes 2 and 5 and (iv) distributions
actually paid with respect to any nonconvertible preferred shares of beneficial
interest of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement provides that the long-term
unsecured debt described in Note 6 is treated as if it had regularly scheduled
principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year, level monthly payment,
fully amortizing mortgage, and the assumed principal and interest payments are
deducted from cash flow in determining the fee. Cash flow does not include
dividend and interest income from PTR Development Services, realized gains or
losses from dispositions of investments or income from cash equivalent
investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per year on the
average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
PTR is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred by
the REIT Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, consisting
primarily of external professional fees, offering costs and travel expenses.
The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by PTR annually, subject to a
determination by the independent Trustees (who receive performance benchmark
information verified by an independent third party) that the REIT Manager's
performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the REIT
Manager is fair. Each of PTR and the REIT Manager may terminate the REIT
Management Agreement on 60 days' notice.
SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), a subsidiary of
Security Capital, has managed and currently manages a substantial majority of
PTR's operating multifamily communities (91.3% as of January 29, 1997, based on
total expected investment). Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty Services"), a subsidiary of Security Capital, managed all of PTR's
operating Homestead Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets through October 17,
1996 (See Note 2).
PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital to
exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares. As a
result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally managed REIT
and Security Capital would remain PTR's largest shareholder. The Board has
formed a special committee comprised of independent Trustees to review the
proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by both
the special committee and the full Board. If the Board approves the
transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common shareholders prior to a
shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.

(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
PTR is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. PTR does not believe that the results of any of such claims
and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
PTR is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence investigation procedures, PTR has conducted Phase I environmental
assessments on each property prior to acquisition since 1984. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to PTR's results of
operations for any of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. PTR is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its communities
which is likely to have a material adverse effect on PTR's financial condition
or results of operations.
See Notes 4 and 5 for development and acquisition commitments.

(12) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments was
determined by PTR based on available market information and valuation
methodologies believed to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable
judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these
estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
PTR could realize upon disposition.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amount of certain financial
instruments employed by PTR, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their
fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Similarly,
the carrying value of lines of credit balances approximates fair value as of
those dates since the interest rate fluctuates based on published market rates.
As discussed in Note 5, the Homestead Notes outstanding at December 31, 1996
are reflected at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet. PTR believes the
carrying value of the other mortgage notes receivable approximates fair value.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, based on the borrowings available to PTR, the
carrying value of the long-term debt and mortgages was a reasonable estimation
of their fair values.
Derivative Financial Instruments
PTR has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading purposes. PTR occasionally utilizes derivative
financial instruments as hedges in anticipation of future transactions to
manage well-defined interest rate risk.
In anticipation of a 1997 debt offering, PTR entered into interest rate
contracts in 1996 with notional amounts aggregating $50 million which PTR plans
to terminate when the anticipated offering is completed. As of December 31,
1996, the fair value of these interest rate contracts was an unrealized loss of
approximately $831,000 (approximately $69,250 as of March 10, 1997) based on
quoted market prices or estimates obtained from brokers. There were no
derivative financial instruments outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On March 10, 1997, PTR borrowed $60 million under a short-term borrowing
agreement with a financial institution. The loan matures on September 10, 1997,
but provides for early repayment at PTR's option on the 10th day of each month
during the term. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of LIBOR plus
0.60% (6.0375% at March 10, 1997). These proceeds were used to pay down PTR's
$350 million line of credit which had an outstanding balance of $151.5 million
after the paydown on March 10, 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Security Capital Industrial Trust
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Security
Capital Industrial Trust and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Trust's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Security Capital Industrial Trust
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996, and in our report dated February 10,
1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In our opinion,
the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL:
The consolidated financial statements of Security Capital Industrial Trust
("SCI") as of March 31, 1997 are unaudited, and pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements have been omitted. The
consolidated financial statements for 1996 have been restated to conform to the
1997 presentation. While management of SCI believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate, these interim consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with SCI's December 31, 1996 consolidated financial
statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of SCI's consolidated financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for
the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS No. 128"). The new statement is effective December 15, 1997 and will
require restatement of prior years' earnings per share; early adoption is not
permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have no material effect on SCI's
reported earnings per share.
The FASB has also released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129,
"Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" ("SFAS No. 129"). SCI
already complies with the requirements of the standard which is effective for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.
3. REAL ESTATE:
The following summarizes real estate investments as of March 31, 1997 and

Capitalized preacquisition costs include $2,072,750 and $1,634,000 of funds on
deposit with title companies as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively, for property acquisitions.
4. BORROWINGS:
Line of Credit
SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (as agent for a bank group). Effective on the May 1,
1997 renewal date borrowings bear interest at SCI's option, at either (a) the
greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the prime rate, or (b) LIBOR
plus .95%, based upon SCI's current senior debt ratings. Additionally, there is
a commitment fee ranging from .125% to .20% per annum of the unused line of
credit balance. The line is scheduled to mature in May 1999 and may be extended
annually for an additional year with the approval of NationsBank and the other
participating lenders (the "Bank Group"); if not extended, at SCI's election,
the facility will either (a) convert to a three year term note, or (b) continue
on a revolving basis with the remaining one year maturity. All debt incurrences
are subject to a covenant that SCI maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio
of not greater than 1 to 1. Additionally, SCI is required to maintain an
adjusted net worth (as defined) of at least $1.25 billion, to maintain interest
payment coverage of not less than 2 to 1, and to maintain a fixed charge
coverage ratio (as defined) of not less than 1.75 to 1. As of March 31, 1997,
SCI was in compliance with all covenants contained in the line of credit, and
as of May 2, 1997, $54.0 million of borrowings were outstanding on the line of
credit.
On March 19, 1997, SCI executed a promissory note (the "Note") with NationsBank
for a short term unsecured borrowing agreement of $15.0 million which matures
October 1, 1997. The rate of interest on each advance (a "Loan") and the
maturity date of each Loan will be determined by agreement between SCI and
NationsBank at the time of such Loan. There were no outstanding borrowings on
this credit line as of May 2, 1997.

All of the foregoing notes are redeemable at any time at the option of SCI, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal
amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the

relative to market yields available at redemption. Such notes are governed by
the terms and provisions of an indenture (the "Indenture") between SCI and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee.
Under the terms of the Indenture, SCI can incur additional debt only if, after
giving effect to the debt being incurred and application of proceeds therefrom,
(i) the ratio of debt to total assets, as defined in the Indenture, does not
exceed 60%, (ii) the ratio of secured debt to total assets, as defined in the
Indenture, does not exceed 40%, and (iii) SCI's pro forma interest coverage
ratio, as defined in the Indenture, for the four preceding fiscal quarters is
not less than 1.5:1. In addition, SCI may not at any time own Total
Unencumbered Assets, as defined in the Indenture, equal to less than 150% of

31, 1997, SCI was in compliance with all debt covenants contained in the
Indenture.

5. MINORITY INTEREST:
Minority interest represents limited partners' interests in five real estate
partnerships controlled by SCI (Red Mountain Joint Venture, SCI Limited
Partnership-I, SCI Limited Partnership-II, SCI Limited Partnership-III, and SCI
Limited Partnership-IV). As of March 31, 1997, a total of 5,194,258 limited
partnership units were held by minority interest limited partners in the
various real estate partnerships. Limited partners are entitled to exchange
each partnership unit for one common share of SCI.
In October 1994, SCI IV, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI, made a $27.5
million cash contribution to SCI Limited Partnership-IV, a Delaware limited
partnership (Partnership-IV), in exchange for a 96.36% general partnership
interest in Partnership-IV, and third party investors that were not affiliated
with SCI contributed an aggregate of $1.0 million in assets to Partnership-IV
in exchange for limited partner interests totaling 3.64% in Partnership-IV. SCI
has contributed additional funds to the partnership in 1996 and 1997 in
conjunction with tax deferred exchanges of real estate which increased SCI's
interest from 96.36% to 96.62%. SCI IV, Inc., as general partner, manages the
activities of Partnership-IV and has fiduciary responsibilities to Partnership-
IV and its other partners.
Both Partnership-IV and SCI IV, Inc. are legal entities that are separate and
distinct from SCI, its affiliates and each other, and each has separate assets,
liabilities, business functions and operations. The assets owned by
Partnership-IV consist primarily of income producing, improved real property
primarily located in Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. The sole assets owned by SCI
IV, Inc. are its general partner advances to and interest in Partnership-IV.
SCI and its affiliates had no borrowings from SCI IV, Inc. at March 31, 1997.
Partnership-IV had $1.7 million of borrowings from SCI IV, Inc. at March 31,
1997. SCI IV, Inc. had $1.7 million of borrowings from SCI and its affiliates
at March 31, 1997. For financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities,
results of operations and cash flows of each of Partnership-IV and SCI IV, Inc.
are included in SCI's consolidated financial statements and the third party
investors' interests in Partnership-IV are reflected as minority interest.
Limited partners are entitled to exchange each partnership unit for one common
share of beneficial interest in SCI and are entitled to receive preferential
cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly distribution
in respect of common shares. At March 31, 1997, there were 68,612 limited
partnership units outstanding in Partnership-IV.
6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
On March 24, 1997, SCI issued 48,809 common shares in conjunction with an
acquisition of property.
On February 7, 1997, SCI completed a public offering of 4,025,000 common
shares. Net proceeds to SCI after underwriting discounts and offering costs
were $80.4 million.
On February 18, 1997, SCI paid a distribution of $0.2675 per common share to
common shareholders of record as of February 4, 1997. On March 31, 1997, SCI
paid a quarterly dividend of $0.5875 per cumulative redeemable Series A
preferred share, $0.4375 per cumulative convertible Series B preferred share
and $1.0675 per cumulative redeemable Series C preferred share to preferred
shareholders of record on March 17, 1997.
On April 15, 1997, SCI declared a distribution of $0.2675 per common share,
payable on May 20, 1997, to common shareholders of record as of May 6, 1997.
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Exercise of outstanding warrants and
options to acquire 29,764 SCI common shares would not have a

material dilutive effect on earnings per share. The conversion of the limited
partnership units (as discussed in Note 5) and the Series B Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares into common shares is not assumed since
the effect would not be dilutive.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On May 1, 1997, Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") filed
a Form S-4 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
containing SCI's preliminary proxy statement and Security Capital's preliminary
prospectus (relating to warrants to purchase Class B common stock of Security
Capital) relating to a proposed merger transaction whereby SCI would acquire
the operations and businesses of its REIT manager and property manager in
exchange for SCI common shares valued at approximately $81.9 million. The
number of SCI common shares issuable to Security Capital will depend on the
average market price of the common shares over the five-day period prior to the
record date, subject to such average not being more than $24.75 or less than
$19.75. As a result of the transaction, SCI would become an internally managed
REIT and Security Capital would remain SCI's largest shareholder (44.1% as of
March 31, 1997). SCI's Board of Trustees recently approved the proposed merger
transaction based on the recommendation of a special committee comprised of
independent Trustees. The proposed merger transaction requires the approval of
a majority of the outstanding common shares. SCI's proxy statement, after
review and clearance by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be mailed
to SCI's common shareholders prior to a shareholder vote.
On April 24, 1997, SCI Logistics Incorporated, a newly formed corporation,
acquired a 60% interest in a refrigerated warehouse company, renamed CS
Integrated LLC ("CSI"), for $73.4 million. CSI owns 17 refrigerated warehouses
totaling 43.4 million cubic feet. SCI will recognize substantially all economic
benefits from SCI Logistics Incorporated through its preferred stock ownership
in the company. SCI will account for its investment in SCI Logistics
Incorporated on the cost method.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a Maryland real estate investment
trust ("REIT"), is a national operating company focused exclusively on meeting
the distribution space needs of national, regional and local industrial real
estate users through the SCI National Operating System(TM). SCI engages in the
acquisition, development, marketing, operation and long-term ownership of
distribution facilities, and the development of master-planned distribution
parks and build-to-suit facilities for its customers. SCI's operating strategy
is to provide an exceptional level of services to its existing and prospective
customers on a national, regional and local basis. SCI deploys capital in
markets with excellent long-term growth prospects where SCI can achieve a
strong market position through the acquisition and development of generic,
flexible facilities designed for both warehousing and light manufacturing uses.
As of December 31, 1996, SCI's portfolio contained 80.6 million square feet in
942 operating buildings and had an additional 5.9 million square feet under
development in 47 buildings for a total of 86.5 million square feet in 36
target market cities. SCI completed its initial public offering on March 31,
1994.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
REIT Organization Status
In January 1993, SCI was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust. In
February 1993, Security Capital Industrial Investors Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation, was merged with and into SCI. SCI has made an election to be taxed
as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution and
income, asset and shareholder tests are met. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI
was in compliance with the REIT requirements. Thus, no federal income tax
provision has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of SCI,
its subsidiaries and its majority-owned and controlled partnerships (SCI has no
unconsolidated subsidiaries or minority ownership interests). The effects of
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts included in the
consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to
conform with the 1996 financial statement presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate is carried at cost. Costs directly related to the acquisition,
renovation or development of real estate are capitalized and are depreciated
over the following useful lives:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Tenant improvements 10 years
Acquired buildings 30 years
Developed buildings 40 years
</TABLE>
Depreciation is computed using a straight-line method. Certain real estate was
acquired through formation of partnerships (see Note 5) wherein SCI contributed
cash and the limited partners contributed real estate in exchange for
partnership units which are ultimately exchangeable for SCI's Common Shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"). In
consolidating the partnerships' assets, real estate cost includes the estimated
fair value attributable to the limited partners' interests at the acquisition
dates because (1) SCI's cash contributions constituted over 50% of the
acquisition prices, (2) the acquisitions were from unrelated third-parties and
(3) the limited partners were not considered "promoters" under SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin 48. The limited partners' interests will be reflected as
minority interest in the consolidated financial statements until the units are
exchanged for SCI Common Shares. In management's opinion, real estate assets
are not carried at amounts in excess of their estimated net realizable values.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 1996, SCI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," ("SFAS No. 121") which had no material
impact on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 121 establishes
accounting standards for the review for impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used, whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable,
and requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Capitalized Interest
SCI capitalizes interest costs incurred during the land development or
construction period of qualifying projects.
Deferred Loan Fees
Included in other assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are costs of $9.2
million and $6.8 million, respectively, associated with obtaining financing
(see Note 4) which have been capitalized and are being amortized (to interest
expense or capitalized interest, as appropriate) over the life of the loan
using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and funds invested
in money market funds.
Minority Interest
Minority interest is carried at cost and represents limited partners' interests
in various real estate partnerships controlled by SCI. As discussed in Real
Estate and Depreciation, certain minority interests are carried at the pro rata
share of the estimated fair value of property at the acquisition dates. Common
Shares of SCI issued upon exchange of limited partnership units will be
accounted for at the cost of the minority interest surrendered.
Earnings per Share
Per share data is computed based on the weighted average number of Common
Shares outstanding during the period. Exercise of outstanding warrants and
options to acquire 29,764 Common Shares would not have a material dilutive
effect on earnings per share. The conversion of the limited partnership units
(see Note 5) and the Series B Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Shares, par value $.01 per share ("Series B Preferred Shares"), into Common
Shares is not assumed since the effect would not be dilutive.
Interest Rate Contracts
SCI utilizes various interest rate contracts to hedge interest rate risk on
anticipated debt offerings. These anticipatory hedges are designated, and
effective, as hedges of identified debt issuances which have a high probability
of occurring. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of
these contracts are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life
of the related debt issuance.

Capitalized preacquisition costs include $1,634,000 and $2,137,000 of funds on
deposit with title companies as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
for property acquisitions.
Other real estate income consists primarily of gains on disposition of
undepreciated property and fees and other income from build-to-suit customers
generated to a large extent by SCI Development Services Incorporated ("SCI
Development Services"). SCI Development Services develops build-to-suit
distribution space facilities or works on a fee basis for customers whose space
needs do not meet SCI's strict investment criteria for long-term ownership.
Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will realize substantially all
economic benefits of SCI Development Services' activities. Further, SCI
advances mortgage loans to SCI Development Services to fund acquisition,
development and construction ("AD&C") activity. In accordance with accounting
guidance for AD&C lending, therefore, SCI accounts for these loans as real
estate investments, effectively consolidating the activities of SCI Development
Services. As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding balances of development and
mortgage loans made by SCI to SCI Development Services for the purchase of
distribution facilities and land for distribution facility development
aggregated $162.0 million. SCI Development Services pays federal and state
taxes at the applicable corporate rate.
The REIT Manager provides SCI Development Services with day-to-day management
for a fee based on 16% of SCI Development Services' pre-tax cash flow,
including gains and losses realized on property sales. The fee incurred for
1996 was approximately $1.3 million. Dividends and interest paid by SCI
Development Services to SCI are excluded from SCI's cash flow for determining
the REIT management fee paid by SCI.
SCI leases its properties to customers under agreements which are classified as
operating leases. The leases generally provide for payment of all or a portion
of utilities, property taxes and insurance by the customer. SCI's largest
customer accounted for less than 1.5% of SCI's 1996 rental income (on an
annualized basis), and the annualized base rent for SCI's 20 largest customers
accounted for less than 12.9% of SCI's 1996 rental income (on an annualized
basis). Minimum lease payments receivable on non-cancelable leases with lease
periods greater than one year are as follows (in thousands):

Mortgage notes payable are secured by real estate with an aggregate
undepreciated cost of $165.0 million at December 31, 1996. Assessment bonds
payable are secured by real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost of
$219.6 million at December 31, 1996. Securitized debt is collateralized by real

1996.
Line of Credit
SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (as agent for a bank group). Borrowings bear
interest at SCI's option, at either (a) the greater of the federal funds rate
plus 0.5% and the prime rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.25% based upon SCI's current
senior debt ratings. The prime rate was 8.25% and the 30 day LIBOR rate was
5.50% at December 31, 1996. Additionally, there is a commitment fee ranging
from .125% to .25% per annum of the unused line of credit balance. The line is
scheduled to mature in May 1998 and may be extended annually for an additional
year with the approval of NationsBank and the other participating lenders; if
not extended, at SCI's election, the facility will either (a) convert to a
three-year term note or (b) continue on a revolving basis with the remaining
one-year maturity. All debt incurrences are subject to a covenant that SCI
maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 1 to 1.
Additionally, SCI is required to maintain an adjusted net worth (as defined) of
at least $1.0 billion, to maintain interest payment coverage of not less than 2
to 1 and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.4 to 1.
SCI is in compliance with all covenants contained in the line of credit, and as
of February 10, 1997, no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit.

relative to market yields available at redemption. The Notes are governed by
the terms and provisions of an indenture agreement (the "Indenture") between
SCI and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee.
Under the terms of the Indenture, SCI can incur additional debt only if, after
giving effect to the debt being incurred and application of proceeds therefrom,
(i) the ratio of debt to total assets, as defined in the Indenture, does not
exceed 60%, (ii) the ratio of secured debt to total assets, as defined in the
Indenture, does not exceed 40% and (iii) SCI's pro forma interest coverage
ratio, as defined in the Indenture, for the four preceding fiscal quarters is
not less than 1.5:1. In addition, SCI may not at any time own total
unencumbered assets, as defined in the Indenture, equal to less than 150% of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of SCI's unsecured debt. At December
31, 1996, SCI was in compliance with all debt covenants contained in the

5. MINORITY INTEREST:
Minority interest represents limited partners' interests in five real estate
partnerships controlled by SCI.
SCI owns a 70.0% general partnership interest in Red Mountain Joint Venture,
which owns approximately $3 million of property in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
On December 22, 1993, SCI acquired a 68.7% controlling general partnership
interest in SCI Limited Partnership-I, which owns distribution facilities
primarily in the San Francisco Bay area. Limited partners are entitled to
exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly
distribution in respect of Common Shares. At December 31, 1996, 4,520,533
limited partnership units were outstanding and no units had been exchanged.
During the first two quarters of 1994, SCI acquired an 81.2% controlling
general partnership interest in SCI Limited Partnership-II, which owns
distribution facilities primarily in Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, El Paso
and the San Francisco Bay area. Limited partners are entitled to exchange each
partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive preferential
cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly distribution
in respect of Common Shares. During the third quarter of 1995, certain limited
partners in SCI Limited Partnership-II exercised their conversion rights to
exchange partnership units for Common Shares on a one for one basis. As a
result of these conversions, SCI's general partnership interest in SCI Limited
Partnership-II increased to 97.4%, and SCI's outstanding Common Shares
increased by 555,651 shares. As of December 31, 1996, there were 90,213 limited
partnership units outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-II.
In October 1994, SCI acquired a 50.4% controlling general partnership interest
in SCI Limited Partnership-III, which owns distribution facilities primarily in
Tampa, Florida. During 1995, SCI contributed an additional $11.9 million to
this partnership for asset acquisitions which increased SCI's general
partnership interest to 71.8%. During 1996, SCI contributed $4.2 million for a
property acquisition in San Antonio, Texas which increased SCI's general
partnership interest from 71.8% to 75.6%. Limited partners are entitled to
exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly
distribution in respect of Common Shares. As of December 31, 1996, there were
514,900 limited partnership units outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-III
and no units had been exchanged.
In October 1994, SCI IV, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI, made a $27.5
million cash contribution to SCI Limited Partnership-IV, a Delaware limited
partnership ("Partnership-IV"), in exchange for a 96.36% general partner
interest in Partnership-IV, and third party investors that were not affiliated
with SCI contributed an aggregate of $1.0 million in assets to Partnership-IV
in exchange for limited partner interests totalling 3.6% in Partnership-IV. SCI
contributed an additional $150,000 to the partnership in 1996 in conjunction
with a Section 1031 exchange transaction which increased SCI's interest from
96.36% to 96.38%. SCI IV, Inc., as general partner, manages the activities of
Partnership-IV and has fiduciary responsibilities to Partnership-IV and its
other partners.
Both Partnership-IV and SCI IV, Inc. are legal entities that are separate and
distinct from SCI, its affiliates and each other, and each has separate assets,
liabilities, business functions and operations. The assets owned by
Partnership-IV consist of income-producing, improved real property located in
Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. The sole assets owned by SCI IV, Inc. are its
general partner advances to and interest in Partnership-IV. SCI and its
affiliates had no borrowings from Partnership-IV at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Partnership-IV had $1,384,000 and $283,000 of borrowings from SCI IV, Inc. at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. SCI IV, Inc. had $1,384,000 and

entitled to exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are
entitled to receive preferential cumulative quarterly distributions per unit
equal to the quarterly distribution in respect of Common Shares. At December
31, 1996, there were 68,612 limited partnership units outstanding in
Partnership-IV and no units had been exchanged.
6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
On November 13, 1996, SCI issued 2,000,000 Series C Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares (the "Series C Preferred Shares"). The Series C Preferred
Shares have a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share for an aggregate
liquidation preference of $100.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The
net proceeds (after underwriting commission and other offering costs) of the
Series C Preferred Shares issued were $97.1 million. Holders of the Series C
Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by SCI's
Board of Trustees (the "Board"), out of funds legally available for payment of
distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at a rate of 8.54% of
the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $4.27 per share). On or
after November 13, 2026, the Series C Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash
at the option of SCI. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof
consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the
sale proceeds of other capital shares of SCI, which may include shares of other
series of preferred shares.
On August 21, 1996, SCI commenced a rights offering to sell 6,787,806 Common
Shares at $17.25 per Common Share and also authorized an additional 3,393,903
Common Shares for oversubscriptions or third party subscribers. In September
1996, SCI issued 7,865,645 Common Shares of the 10,181,709 Common Shares
subscribed for and recorded subscriptions receivable of $40.0 million. In
October 1996, 2,316,064 Common Shares were issued and all subscriptions
receivable were collected. Gross proceeds from the offering totaled $175.6
million.
On September 24, 1996, SCI offered 2,036,342 Common Shares to third party
subscribers in the rights offering that were not accepted in whole or in part
due to demand in excess of the Common Shares offered. All of the Common Shares
were subscribed for as of September 30, 1996 and subscriptions receivable for
gross proceeds of $35.1 million recorded. In October 1996, all of such Common
Shares were issued and all subscriptions receivable were collected.
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), an affiliate of SCI's
REIT Manager, purchased 3,734,240 Common Shares in connection with the
September rights offering at the same price paid by the public. As of December
31, 1996, Security Capital owned 46.0% of SCI's outstanding 93,676,546 Common
Shares.
In February 1996, SCI issued a total of 8,050,000 Series B Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series B Preferred Shares"). The
Series B Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share for
an aggregate liquidation preference of $201.3 million plus any accrued and
unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are only entitled to
limited voting rights under certain conditions. The Series B Preferred Shares
are convertible at any time, unless previously redeemed, at the option of the
holders thereof into Common Shares at a conversion price of $19.50 per share
(equivalent to a conversion rate of 1.282 Common Shares for each Series B
Preferred Share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders of
the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared
by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions,
cumulative preferential cash distributions in an amount per share equal to the
greater of 7% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $1.75 per
share) or the distribution on the Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which
a Series B Preferred Share is convertible. Distributions on the Series B
Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year. The Series B Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of SCI on
or after February 21, 2001.
On September 29, 1995, SCI issued 9,421,505 Common Shares at $15.375 per share
and received subscriptions for 6,838,658 additional Common Shares at the same
price in conjunction with a rights offering ($250 million). The

additional Common Shares were issued on October 3, 1995. Security Capital
purchased 6,504,148 Common Shares in this offering (40% of the shares sold). As
of December 31, 1995, Security Capital owned 48.3% of SCI's outstanding
81,416,451 Common Shares.
On June 21, 1995, SCI issued 5,400,000 Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares"). The Series A Preferred Shares have a
liquidation preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation
preference of $135.0 million plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The net
proceeds (after underwriting commission and other offering costs) of the Series
A Preferred Shares issued were $130.4 million. Holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting rights under certain
conditions. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available
for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at
the rate of 9.4% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $2.35
per share). Such distributions are cumulative from the date of original issue
and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September,
and December of each year. The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the
option of SCI on or after June 21, 2000. The redemption price (other than the
portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable
solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of SCI, which may
include shares of other series of preferred shares.
In October and November 1994, SCI completed an offering of 18,000,000 Common
Shares at a price of $15.25 per share. 17,750,000 Common Shares were issued on
October 5, 1994, and 250,000 Common Shares were issued on November 17, 1994.
9,800,000 of the Common Shares were purchased by Security Capital, at the same
price paid by the public, with no underwriting discount or commission ($149.5
million). 8,200,000 of the Common Shares were sold through an underwritten
offering at $15.25 per share. The underwriting discount on these Common Shares
was $0.80 per share. After additional costs of the offering, net proceeds to
SCI were $266.9 million.
On June 29, 1994, SCI completed a rights offering and issued 6,611,571 Common
Shares at $15.125 per share ($100 million). Security Capital purchased
3,517,483 Common Shares in this offering (53% of the shares sold). On March 31,
1994, SCI completed its initial public offering and sold 3,260,870 Common
Shares at $11.50 per share ($37.5 million). Security Capital purchased 523,370
Common Shares in this offering (16% of the shares sold).
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
In March 1995, SCI adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"1995 Plan"), which commenced in April 1995. The 1995 Plan allows holders of
Common Shares the opportunity to acquire additional Common Shares by
automatically reinvesting distributions. Common Shares are acquired pursuant to
the 1995 Plan at a price equal to 98% of the market price of such Common
Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. The 1995
Plan also allows participating common shareholders to purchase a limited number
of additional Common Shares at 98% of the market price of such Common Shares,
by making optional cash payments, without payment of any brokerage commission
or service charge. Holders of Common Shares who do not participate in the 1995
Plan continue to receive distributions as declared.
Option Plan
In April 1994, SCI adopted its Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the
"Outside Trustees Plan"). Under the Outside Trustees Plan, there are 100,000
Common Shares approved which can be granted to non-employee Trustees. All
options granted are for a term of five years and are immediately exercisable in
whole or in part. The exercise price of the options granted may not be less
than the fair market value on the date of the grant. At December 31, 1996 there
were 18,000 options for Common Shares outstanding and exercisable under the
Outside Trustees Plan at exercise prices of $15.50, $16.00, and $17.50.
SCI adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 ("SFAS 123") "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" during 1996. Under
the provisions of this statement, SCI will continue to account for the Outside
Trustees Plan under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, and make the pro
forma disclosures required by SFAS 123 where applicable. The effect of adopting
this statement was immaterial to SCI's consolidated financial statements.

Shareholder Purchase Rights
On December 7, 1993, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right ("Right") for each outstanding Common Share to be distributed to
all holders of record of the Common Shares on December 31, 1993. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase one-hundredth of a Participating
Preferred Share for an exercise price of $40.00 per one-hundredth of a
Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights
Agreement. The Rights will generally be exercisable only if a person or group
(other than certain affiliates of SCI) acquires 20% or more of the Common
Shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of the Common Shares. Under
certain circumstances, upon a shareholder acquisition of 20% or more of the
Common Shares (other than certain affiliates of SCI), each Right will entitle
the holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of
Common Shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. The
acquisition of SCI pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions
will entitle each holder of a Right to purchase, at the Right's then-current
exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a
market value at that time equal to twice the Right's exercise price. The Rights
held by certain 20% shareholders will not be exercisable. The Rights will
expire on December 7, 2003, unless the expiration date of the Rights is
extended, and the Rights are subject to redemption at a price of $0.01 per
Right under certain circumstances.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS:
The annual distribution per Common Share was $1.01 in 1996, $0.935 in 1995 and
$0.85 in 1994. Distributions attributable to realized gains on the disposition
of investments may be considered for payment to shareholders on a special, as-
incurred basis.

At the same time, SCI announced that it set an annualized distribution level of
$1.07 per Common Share for 1997.
Pursuant to the terms of the preferred shares, SCI is restricted from declaring
or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless all
cumulative distributions with respect to the preferred shares have been paid
and sufficient funds have been set aside for distributions that have been
declared for the then-current distribution period with respect to the preferred
shares.

9. REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT:
Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), a subsidiary of
Security Capital (Note 6), is the REIT manager of SCI. All officers of SCI are
employees of the REIT Manager and SCI currently has no employees. Pursuant to
the REIT management agreement, in exchange for providing research, strategic
planning, investment analysis, acquisition and development services, asset
management, capital markets, legal and accounting services and day-to-day
management of SCI's operations, the REIT Manager is entitled to receive from
SCI a REIT management fee, payable quarterly, equal to 16% of cash flow, as
defined in the agreement, before deducting (i) fees paid to the REIT Manager,
(ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the request of the independent Trustees
of SCI, and (iii) 33% of any interest paid by SCI on convertible subordinated
debentures (of which there has been none since inception of the REIT management
agreement); and, after deducting (iv) actual or assumed regularly scheduled
principal and interest payments on long-term debt and (v) distributions
actually paid with respect to any non-convertible preferred shares of
beneficial interest of SCI. The REIT management agreement has been amended so
that the long-term senior notes described in Note 4 will be treated as if they
had regularly scheduled principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year
level monthly payment, fully amortizing mortgage and the assumed principal and
interest payments will be deducted from cash flow in determining the fee for
future periods. Cash flow does not include interest and income from SCI
Development Services, realized gains from dispositions of investments or income
from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of .2%
of the average daily balance of funds invested in interest bearing cash
accounts, the earnings on which are not subject to the 16% fee. For the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the REIT Manager earned REIT management
fees totalling $21,472,000, $14,207,000 and $8,673,000, respectively.
10. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY:
Commencing January 1994, SCI Client Services Incorporated ("Client Services"),
a subsidiary of Security Capital, began providing property management services
for certain of SCI's properties. The agreement is subject to termination by SCI
or Client Services on 30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of
SCI's independent Trustees, and provides for a monthly fee to Client Services
of no more than 3% per annum of property revenues, paid monthly, plus leasing
commissions consistent with industry practice, which together were $10.1
million, $4.7 million and $1.7 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As of December 31, 1996, Client Services managed 90.0% of SCI's 80.6 million
total operating square feet. The REIT Manager anticipates that Client Services
will manage additional SCI properties in the future. Any management contracts
executed with Client Services are expected to be at terms management believes
are no less favorable to SCI than could be obtained with unaffiliated third
parties.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is presented in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107. The estimated
fair value amounts have been determined by SCI using available market
information and valuation methodologies.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amounts of certain financial
instruments employed by SCI, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and
notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of
their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. As
of December 31, 1995, based on the borrowings available to SCI, the carrying
value of the long-term debt and mortgages was a reasonable estimation of their
fair values. As of December 31, 1996, the fair value of the long-term debt and
mortgages has been estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or
similar issues or by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently
available for debt with similar terms and maturities. The increase in the fair
value of long-term debt and mortgages over the carrying value in the table
below is a result of a net reduction in the interest rates available to SCI at
December 31, 1996 from the interest rates in effect at the dates of issuance.
The long-term debt and many of the mortgages contain prepayment penalties or
yield maintenance provisions which would make the cost of refinancing exceed
the benefit of refinancing at the lower rates. As of December 31, 1996, the
fair value of all derivative financial instruments are amounts at which they
could be settled, based on quoted market prices or estimates obtained from
brokers (there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding as of
December 31, 1995). The following table reflects the carrying amount and
estimated fair value of SCI's financial instruments (in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments
SCI has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading purposes. SCI uses derivatives to manage well-defined
interest rate risk.
F-140
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market risk (price
risk) and credit risk. Price risk is defined as the potential for loss in the
value of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest
rates). SCI utilizes derivative instruments in anticipation of future
transactions to manage well defined interest rate risk. Through hedging, SCI
can effectively manage the risk of increases in interest rates on future debt
issuances.
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails
to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. SCI does not
obtain collateral to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but
monitors the credit standing of counterparties. As of December 31, 1996, the
counterparties to all outstanding contracts were financial institutions with AA
or A+ credit ratings. SCI does not anticipate non-performance by any of the
counterparties to its derivative contracts. Should a counterparty fail to
perform, however, SCI would incur a financial loss to the extent of the
positive fair market value of the derivative instruments.
The following table summarizes the activity in interest rate contracts for the
year ended December 31, 1996 (in millions):

$26.0 million contract locks in the 30 year Treasury at a rate of 6.56%.
(2) The remaining swap contract as of December 31, 1996, which matures in 2007,
provides for SCI to pay a fixed rate of 6.61% and receive a floating rate equal
to the three month LIBOR rate.
Deferred losses totalling $1.9 million on matured, expired or terminated
interest rate contracts were recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31,
1996. These losses related to the unwind of hedges placed for the May 1996 debt
offering (see Note 4) and are being amortized into interest expense over a
weighted-average amortization period of 10.8 years.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Environmental Matters
All of the properties acquired by SCI have been subjected to Phase I
environmental reviews. While some of these assessments have led to further
investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments has revealed,
nor is SCI aware of any environmental liability (including asbestos-related
liability) that SCI believes would have a material adverse effect on SCI's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
On January 22, 1997, SCI announced that it received a proposal from Security
Capital to exchange the REIT Manager and Client Services, the REIT manager's
property management affiliate, for Common Shares. As a result of the proposed
transaction, SCI would become an internally managed REIT, and Security Capital
would remain SCI's largest shareholder. SCI's Board has formed a special
committee comprised of independent Trustees to review the proposed transaction.
The proposed transaction is subject to approval by the special committee, the
full Board and SCI's shareholders.
On February 7, 1997, SCI completed a public offering of 4,025,000 Common
Shares. Net proceeds to SCI after underwriting discounts and offering costs
were $80.4 million.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On February 4, 1997, SCI issued $100.0 million of Series A 2015 Notes under its
Medium-Term Note program established in November 1996. The Series A 2015 Notes
bear interest at 7.81%, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1,
commencing August 1, 1997. Installments of principal will be paid annually on
each February 1, commencing February 1, 2010, in the following amounts: $20
million in 2010, $15 million in 2011, $15 million in 2012, $20 million in 2013,
$20 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. The Series A 2015 Notes have a
weighted-average life to maturity of 15.35 years and a final maturity extending
to 2015. The average effective interest cost is 7.73%, including all costs
associated with the offering plus $1.7 million in proceeds received on January
31, 1997 in connection with two interest rate protection agreements entered
into in August and November 1996 in anticipation of the debt offering. Both the
August 1996 and the November 1996 interest rate protection agreements were in
the form of a forward treasury lock agreement with an AA rated financial
institution. The August agreement included a notional principal amount of $30.0
million and a reference price of 99.653 on the thirty year Treasury Note. The
November agreement included a notional principal amount of $50.0 million and a
reference price of 101 29/32 on the ten year Treasury Note. The settlement date
on both contracts was January 31, 1997.
On October 11, 1996, and as amended on October 31, 1996, SCI filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
the offering from time to time of $600 million in one or more series of its
debt securities, preferred shares of beneficial interest and Common Shares of
beneficial interest, and had approximately $78 million remaining under its
previous shelf registration statement. After the Series C Preferred Share
offering in November 1996 (see Note 6) and the offerings described above, as of

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Security Capital Industrial Trust:
We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
financial statements of Security Capital Industrial Trust, and have issued our
report thereon dated February 10, 1997. Our audit was made for the purpose of
forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
Schedule III--Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation ("Schedule III") is
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. The
Schedule III has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(which are substantially consistent with US generally accepted auditing
standards). Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by the Board of Directors of the
Company in preparing the consolidated financial statements, as well as
evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the attached consolidated financial statements described above
give, in conformity with the legal requirements and United States generally
accepted accounting principles, a true and fair view of the financial position
of the Company at December 31, 1996 and of the results of its operations and
changes in its net assets for the year then ended.
Supplementary information included in this annual financial report has been
reviewed in the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific
audit procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. We have no observation
to make concerning such information in the context of the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole.

SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AT DECEMBER 31, 1996
NOTE 1--ORGANISATION
Security Capital U.S. Realty (the "Company") is a Luxembourg real estate
corporation organised as a "Societe d'Investissement a Capital Variable"
("SICAV"), an investment company with variable capital. The Company was formed
on July 7, 1995 for the purpose of owning and operating United States of
America real estate primarily through companies in which it has a strategic
ownership position. The Company owns its assets through its wholly owned
Luxembourg subsidiary, Security Capital Holdings S.A. ("HOLDINGS"). All
accounts of HOLDINGS have been consolidated with the Company and all
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
References herein to USREALTY are to the consolidated entity consisting of
Security Capital U.S. Realty and Security Capital Holdings S.A., unless noted
otherwise.
The Company expects to request shareholder approval in the first half of 1997
to convert to a Societe d'Investissement a Capital Fixe, an investment company
with fixed capital, which should not materially alter the Company's operations
or prospects.
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States and with Luxembourg
regulatory requirements.
A. Market Value/Fair Value Basis of Presentation:
USREALTY accounts for its investments at market value or estimated fair value
(depending on whether the investment is publicly traded or not) as management
believes market/fair value more accurately reflects USREALTY's financial
position and results of operations as a real estate business. Thus, USREALTY's
investments in publicly traded companies are valued at market determined by
using closing market prices as of the balance sheet date. Investments in
private companies are valued at fair value generally determined at cost, or an
appropriate lower value if the investment is not progressing as envisioned. If
substantial additional capital is raised by the investee from independent third
parties in a private placement, then USREALTY values its investment at the
price at which that capital was raised when a substantial percentage of the new
subscriptions have been funded. Untraded convertible securities are carried at
their principal amount until convertible at an ascertainable value. The
CarrAmerica convertible preferred each are convertible into one share of
CarrAmerica common stock beginning April 1997, at which time they will be
reflected at their conversion value.
Under market/fair value accounting, unrealised gains or losses are determined
by comparing market/fair value of the securities held to the cost of such
securities. Unrealised gains or losses relating to changes in market/fair value
of USREALTY's investments are reported as a component of net earnings. Deferred
income taxes, if any, are recorded at the applicable statutory rate as the
estimate of taxes payable as if such gains were realised. Under current tax
laws, and in light of USREALTY's operating methods and plans, USREALTY's
investment gains generally are not subject to income taxes.
USREALTY's investments are generally long-term and USREALTY does not intend to
sell securities simply to realise gain thereon (other than in the case of
selected special opportunity investments).
At December 31, 1996, 17.1% of USREALTY's investments were private or untraded
securities valued at their fair value as determined by the Board of Directors,
using the methodology described above. This value may differ from the value
that would have been used had a trading market for these shares existed. The
valuation of assets assumes that any assets disposed of would be sold in an
orderly process; any forced sale of assets under short-term pressures, which is
not foreseen, could adversely affect realisable values.
B. Accounting for Investments and Income
All purchases and sales of publicly traded securities are recorded as of the
trade date (being the date that USREALTY's broker actually executes an order to
buy or sell). Purchases and sales of unlisted securities are recorded as of the
date the actual purchase or sale is completed. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date for each dividend declared by an issuer. Dividends
received are presented net of withholding taxes, which totalled $5.6 million
during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996. The withholding tax is stated
net of
F-166
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
estimated refunds of $56,573. HOLDINGS is entitled to the refunds as the
withholding tax is not levied on the portion of dividends which is a return of
capital. Interest income (including interest on convertible subordinated
debentures issued by Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"))
is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest received is also stated net of
withholding taxes, of which there were none in 1996. Realised gains and losses
on sales of shares are determined on the average cost method.
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
USREALTY considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS
USREALTY will aim to have 65% to 85% of its assets deployed in strategic
ownership positions ("Strategic Investments"), and 10% to 35% invested in
special opportunity ownership positions, including up to 10% in securities of
Security Capital.
A. Strategic Investments
Strategic investments represent significant (minimum of 25% to a general
maximum of 49% of each issuer's fully diluted common stock outstanding) equity
ownership positions in public companies, or in private companies that will be
positioned to be taken public. With private companies which USREALTY sponsors,
it will frequently own substantially more than 50% of the voting shares until
such companies become publicly traded, at which time USREALTY's ownership will
begin to be diluted until it reaches 35% to 45% ownership levels. USREALTY will
be the largest shareholder of its strategic investees, have representation on
their Boards of Directors, and influence their operations and strategy.
Strategic investees are characterised by the perceived potential for a superior
market niche and the ultimate potential for market preeminence with a focused
strategy and product.
B. Special Opportunity Investments
(i) PUBLICLY-TRADED INVESTMENTS
"Publicly-Traded Investments" consist of ownership positions of less than 10%
of the fully diluted stock in publicly-traded United States real estate
investment trusts ("US REITS") and real estate companies. Publicly-traded
investments have and will take the form of either direct investments in, or
public market purchases of, shares of companies that USREALTY believes possess
the requisite fundamentals to generate strong cash flow growth and/or value
appreciation.
At December 31, 1996, USREALTY had $223.7 million (market value) of publicly-
traded investments in thirteen companies. From time to time, when deemed
appropriate, USREALTY may seek to increase a publicly-traded investment to a
strategic investment.
(ii) INVESTMENT IN SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED.
USREALTY has a Special Opportunity Investment in securities of Security Capital
which, through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned approximately 39.4% of
USREALTY's total subscribed shares at December 31, 1996 (and may from time to
time purchase further shares on the open market and in new USREALTY offerings)
and is the sole shareholder of USREALTY's Operating Advisor. The purpose of
this investment is to provide USREALTY with the benefit of exposure to specific
niches within the apartment and industrial real estate sectors, as well as the
diversification benefits of fee income through Security Capital's real estate
services and advisory activities. USREALTY intends to invest up to 10% of its
assets in securities of Security Capital. USREALTY's investments in such
securities will primarily be made in general offerings by Security Capital, on
the same terms and conditions as all other investors in such offerings. To a
lesser extent, USREALTY may negotiate purchases from independent third parties
on an arm's-length basis. When and if Security Capital becomes traded on a
recognised securities market, USREALTY may purchase Security Capital securities
from third parties in open-market transactions. At December 31, 1996, USREALTY
had funded $22.5 million (representing 10,724.5 common shares and $11.25
million principal amount of 6.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2016)
out of a total commitment of $110 million. The remaining commitment is expected
to be funded in the first half of 1997.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 4--ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PREPAYMENTS
A. Deferred Costs
The Company expensed formation costs of $1,654,000 in 1996, which should have
been amortized over the useful life of 5 years under US GAAP. Additionally, the
Company expensed line of credit fees of $3.7 million in 1996 related to costs
incurred in connection with arranging USREALTY's $300 million line of credit
while US GAAP would require such costs to be amortized over the term of the
line of credit of 3 years. These departures from US GAAP in these financial
statements are not considered material given that the total effect is
approximately 1% of "Increase in net assets resulting from operations".
B. Accounts Receivable
The amounts included within accounts receivable and prepayments are as follows:

NOTE 6--ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES
USREALTY has an advisory agreement with Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
(the "Operating Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital. This
agreement requires the Operating Advisor to provide USREALTY with advice with
respect to the investment of assets of USREALTY. The Operating Advisor has
agreed to identify tangible investment opportunities in U.S. real estate
companies and evaluate such companies' competitive positions, management
expertise, strategic direction, financial strength and their prospects for
long-term sustainable per share cash flow growth. The Operating Advisor will
also advise USREALTY on obtaining board and committee representation and
management rights. The agreement is for a two-year term expiring July 1997. The
agreement automatically renews for successive two-year periods unless either
party gives notice they will not renew. The Operating Advisor subcontracts for
certain services through its wholly-owned affiliate, Security Capital (UK)
Management Limited (based in London), and another Security Capital subsidiary,
Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated (based in Chicago). The
Operating Advisor is entitled to a management fee, payable quarterly, at an
annual rate of 1.25% of gross invested assets, excluding investments in
Security Capital securities and investments of short-term cash and cash
equivalents. The amounts accrued at December 31, 1996 represent two months'
fees. USREALTY pays its own third-party operating and administrative expenses
and transaction costs, provided that the Operating Advisor's fee will be
reduced to the extent that third-party operating and administrative expenses
(but not transaction costs) exceed 0.25% of assets, excluding Security Capital
securities, per annum. Such third-party operating and administrative costs were
0.19% per annum in 1996.
F-168
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
USREALTY pays to the Custodian, Paying Agent, Domiciliary and Corporate Agent
as well as the Registrar and Transfer Agent, a fee in accordance with usual
practice in Luxembourg. Such fees are payable quarterly and are based on
USREALTY's gross assets.
NOTE 7--TAXATION
The Company, as separate from HOLDINGS, is not liable for any Luxembourg tax on
income. The Company is liable in Luxembourg for a capital tax of 0.06% per
annum of its net asset value. Cash dividends and interest received by the
Company or HOLDINGS on their investments may be subject to non-recoverable
withholding or other taxes in the countries of origin. U.S. withholding tax
rates of 15% were in effect for 1996. These are proposed to be increased to 30%
based on a new tax treaty; however, the proposed increase is the subject of
U.S. Senate committee review, and may not go into effect. If approved, the
increase would probably become effective January 1, 1999. Management does not
believe such an increase would materially adversely affect growth in net asset
value per share.
HOLDINGS, an ordinary corporate taxpayer under Luxembourg law, owns
substantially all of the consolidated group's interests in US REITs.
Corporations which are resident Luxembourg taxpayers are taxed on their
worldwide net income, determined on the basis of gross income less cost
incurred. Certain items of income and capital gains are excluded from the
calculation of income received for tax purposes, including income and capital
gains from certain investments which meet certain holding period (generally one
calendar year) and size requirements. HOLDINGS attempts to operate so as to
have the highest possible percentage of its investments qualify for the
exclusion. Interest accrued on advances from the Company to HOLDINGS are
deducted in determining HOLDINGS's taxable income.
Income paid from HOLDINGS to the Company is subject to various levels of tax.
Gross cash (but not accrued) interest payments from HOLDINGS to the Company,
which were $5,029,787 during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, are
subject to withholding tax at a rate of 3.75% (which totalled $188,617 for the
twelve months to December 31, 1996). No dividends were paid.

NOTE 8--LINE OF CREDIT
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, HOLDINGS, has a $400 million revolving
line of credit from a syndicate of European and international banks. The
earliest date on which this line of credit will expire is June 1999, subject to
annual extension with the consent of the lenders, but HOLDINGS has the right to
convert the then outstanding borrowings into a two-year term loan on that date,
with semi-annual amortisation payments to be made over the two-year period,
which effectively extends the final loan payment to June 2001. Borrowings bear
interest at the greater of United States prime or the federal funds rate plus
0.5% or, at HOLDINGS' option, LIBOR plus 1.75%. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.375% on the average undrawn balance of the line of
credit.
The amount of $2.99 million was paid to the syndicate of European and
international banks as arrangement and upfront fees as well as to cover the
costs of syndication.
The line of credit is secured by substantially all the assets of USREALTY.
HOLDINGS has pledged all securities owned by it as collateral for the line, and
the Company has guaranteed the line and pledged its shares in HOLDINGS as
collateral.
F-169
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In February 1997, HOLDINGS received preliminary agreement from the lead lending
bank to increase the line of credit to $500 million and reduce the interest
rate to 1.50% over LIBOR, subject to certain conditions and approvals.
Average daily borrowings during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 were
$84.9 million, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.18% per annum.
The line of credit requires USREALTY to continue to meet certain financial
covenants. At December 31, 1996, USREALTY was in compliance with all covenants.
NOTE 9--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, $987.3 million of equity
capital subscriptions were called by the Company and funded by investors. This
equity was partly raised through the completion of the funding of subscriptions
under the Company's initial $509.5 million private offering.
The equity was also raised through the June 1996 international public offering
where the Company accepted subscriptions for 22,244,420 shares: 13,112,000
shares through an underwritten public offering and 9,132,420 shares directly to
its principal shareholder, Security Capital. The Company contracted to receive
net proceeds per share of $10.95, equal to the net asset value per share on
June 26, 1996, the day the offering was priced. The transaction was closed on
July 2, 1996.
Additional equity was also raised through the November private offering where
the Company sold 24,115,805 shares. The Company contracted to receive net
proceeds per share of $12.32, equal to the net asset value per share on
November 15, 1996, the day the offering was priced. The transaction closed on
December 19, 1996.

Security Capital U.S. Realty ("USREALTY") for the period ended December 31,
1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of
Directors of USREALTY. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(which are substantially consistent with US generally accepted auditing
standards). Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Board of Directors of USREALTY in preparing the financial
statements, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the attached financial statements described above give, in
conformity with the legal requirements, a true and fair view of the financial
position of USREALTY at December 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and
changes in its net assets for the period then ended.
Supplementary information included in the annual report has been reviewed in
the context of our mandate but has not been subject to specific audit
procedures carried out in accordance with the standards described above.
Consequently, we express no opinion on such information. We have no observation
to make concerning such information in the context of the financial statements
taken as a whole.

SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION
Security Capital U.S. Realty ("USREALTY") is a Luxembourg real estate
corporation organized as a "Societed'investissement a Capital Variable"
(SICAV). USREALTY was formed on July 7, 1995 for the purpose of owning United
States of America real estate primarily through companies in which it has a
strategic ownership position. USREALTY owns its assets through its wholly-owned
Luxembourg subsidiary, Security Capital Holdings S.A. ("HOLDINGS"). All
accounts of HOLDINGS have been consolidated with US REALTY and all significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. References
herein to USREALTY are to the consolidated entity unless noted otherwise.
As of December 31, 1995, $509.50 million of equity capital subscriptions were
received, of which $62.95 million have been called and funded, with the balance
of $446.55 million available for future investments. The Board of Directors may
call these subscriptions at its discretion.
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Fair Value Basis of Presentation:
USREALTY accounts for its investments at fair value as management believes fair
value more accurately reflects USREALTY's financial position and results of
operations as a real estate business. Thus USREALTY's investments in publicly
traded companies are valued at market determined by using closing market prices
as of the balance sheet date. Investments in private companies are valued at
fair value generally determined as cost, or an appropriate lower value if the
investment is not progressing as envisioned. If substantial additional capital
is raised by the investee from independent third parties in a private
placement, then USREALTY values its investment at the price at which that
capital was raised.
Under fair value accounting, unrealized gains (or losses) are determined by
comparing fair value of the securities held to the cost of such securities.
Unrealized gains or losses relating to changes in fair value of USREALTY's
investments are reported as a component of net earnings. Deferred income taxes,
if any, are recorded at the applicable statutory rate as the estimate of taxes
payable as if such gains were realized. Under current tax laws, USREALTY
investment gains generally are not subject to income taxes.
USREALTY's investments are generally long-term and it does not intend to sell
securities simply to realize gain thereon (other than in the case of special
opportunity investments).
At December 31, 1995, 96.75% of USREALTY's investments were private securities
valued at their fair value as determined by the Board of Directors, using the
methodology described above. This value may differ from the value that would
have been used had a trading market for these shares existed. The valuation of
assets assumes that any assets disposed of would be sold in an orderly process;
any forced sale of assets under short-term pressures, which is not foreseen,
could adversely affect realizable values.
B. Accounting for Investments and Income:
All purchases and sales of publicly-traded securities are recorded as of the
trade date (being the date that USREALTY's broker actually executes an order to
buy or sell). Purchases and sales of unlisted securities are recorded as of the
date the actual purchase or sale is completed. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date for each dividend declared by an issuer. Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of shares
are determined on the identified cost method.
C. Organization Costs:
Costs totalling $1,801,533 associated with the formation of USREALTY and its
initial private placement have been deferred and are being amortized over five
years. These costs exceeded the $1.2 million estimated in USREALTY's private
offering due to an extended offering period and greater than anticipated
documentation costs for consummating the private offering.
F-177
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
D. Funds from Operations:
USREALTY has elected to present a Statement of Funds from Operations ("FFO") in
the financial statements. FFO is defined by the Real Estate Investment Trust
("REIT") industry in the USA as net earnings from operations plus certain non-
cash items, principally property depreciation. USREALTY has calculated its FFO
based upon its percentage ownership of its strategic investees' FFO. The
strategic investees compute their FFO on a historical cost basis.
Most REITs utilize this measure, and REIT industry analysts generally consider
FFO to be an appropriate measure of the performance of equity REITs. FFO is not
to be construed as a substitute for "net earnings" in evaluating operating
results nor as a substitute for "cash flow" in evaluating liquidity.
USREALTY also includes dividends and realized capital gains from special
opportunity investments in calculating USREALTY's FFO. Withholding taxes and
other taxes are deducted in calculating FFO, as are all current operating
expenses and amortization of loan costs. Amortization of start-up and initial
offering costs are not deducted in calculating FFO as these do not represent an
ongoing cash cost of conducting USREALTY's business.
NOTE 3--TAXATION
USREALTY, as separate from HOLDINGS, is not liable for any Luxembourg tax on
income. USREALTY is liable in Luxembourg for a tax of 0.06% per annum of its
net asset value. Cash dividends and interest received by USREALTY or HOLDINGS
on their investments may be subject to non-recoverable withholding or other
taxes in the countries of origin which are reflected as withholding taxes in
the statement of operations.
HOLDINGS, an ordinary corporate taxpayer under Luxembourg law, owns
substantially all of the consolidated group's interests in US REITs.
Corporations which are resident Luxembourg taxpayers are taxed on their
worldwide net income, determined on the basis of gross income less cost
incurred. Certain items of income and capital gains are excluded from the
calculation of income received for tax purposes, including income and capital
gains from REIT investments which meet certain holding period (generally one
calendar year) and size requirements. Substantially all of HOLDINGS's
investments should qualify for the exclusion. Interest accrued on advances from
USREALTY to HOLDINGS are deducted in determining HOLDINGS's taxable income.
Income paid from HOLDINGS to USREALTY is subject to various levels of tax. Cash
(but not accrued) interest payments from HOLDINGS to USREALTY, which were
$178,131, are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 3.75% and totalled $6,680
for 1995. No dividends were paid.
NOTE 4--INVESTMENTS
USREALTY plans to deploy 60-85% of its assets into long-term strategic
ownership positions and 10-25% into intermediate-term special opportunity
ownership positions and 0-10% into Security Capital Group securities.
The strategic investments represent significant (minimum of 25% to a general
maximum of 49% of each issuer's fully diluted common stock outstanding) equity
ownership positions in public companies, or in private companies that will be
positioned to be taken public, USREALTY will be the largest shareholder of its
strategic investees, have representation on their Boards of Directors, and
influence their operations and strategy. Strategic investees are characterized
by the potential for a superior market niche and the ultimate potential for
market preeminence with a focused strategy and product.
Special opportunity (less than 10% of the fully diluted stock) positions in US
public REITs and real estate companies have and will take the form of either
direct investments in, or public market purchases of, companies that possess
the requisite fundamentals to generate strong cash flow growth and/or value
appreciation.
Pacific Retail Trust ("PRT"), a privately-held REIT considered a strategic
investment, focuses in its target market on the development, acquisition,
operation and long-term ownership of income-producing retail properties. PRT
F-178
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
focuses, in the western United States, specifically on neighborhood shopping
centers with protected infill locations which are anchored by grocery and drug
stores. PRT will remarket and remerchandise its centers to energize the shop
space and grow cash flow. On October 19, 1995, USREALTY invested $53,000,000 at
$10.00 per share in PRT. At December 31, 1995, USREALTY owned 81.2% of PRT's
outstanding voting shares. USREALTY has committed to invest an additional $147
million in PRT at a price of $10 per share. A majority of PRT's directors are
USREALTY nominees.
On November 5, 1995, USREALTY and HOLDINGS signed an agreement to invest $250
million into common stock of Carr Realty Corporation ("Carr") at $21.50 per
share. (Carr stock closed at $24.25 per share on the New York Stock Exchange on
January 31, 1996.) This Company is the largest owner and operator of office
space in the Washington, D.C. market. It changed its name to CarrAmerica Realty
Corporation ("CarrAmerica") and is implementing a national strategy focused on
value-driven suburban office properties which will permit CarrAmerica to
provide the highest level of service to national, regional and local users of
corporate office space in the growth markets of the U.S. USREALTY and HOLDINGS
will make an initial investment of $140 million in April 1996. Coincident with
its initial investment, USREALTY will appoint two nominees to CarrAmerica's
board, with the right to appoint an additional two when the full $250 million
is invested.
USREALTY intends to invest up to a maximum of 10% of its total assets in
securities of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") which,
through wholly-owned subsidiaries, has subscribed for 39% of USREALTY's total
subscribed shares and is the sole shareholder of USREALTY's Advisor. USREALTY's
investments in such securities will primarily be made in general offerings by
Security Capital, on the same terms and conditions as all other investors in
such offerings. To a lesser extent, USREALTY may negotiate purchases from
independent third parties on an arms-length basis. When and if Security Capital
becomes traded on a recognized securities market. USREALTY may purchase
Security Capital securities from third parties in open-market transactions.
USREALTY's valuation of its investment in Security Capital will take into
account the cross ownership holdings between the companies.
NOTE 5--ADVISORY AGREEMENT
USREALTY has an advisory agreement with Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
("Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital. The agreement
requires the Advisor to provide USREALTY with advice with respect to the
investment of assets of USREALTY. The Advisor will identify tangible investment
opportunities in US real estate companies and evaluate such companies'
competitive positions, management expertise, strategic direction, financial
strength and their prospects for long-term sustainable per share cash flow
growth. The Advisor will also advise USREALTY on obtaining board and committee
representation and management rights. The agreement is for a two year term
expiring July 1997. The agreement automatically renews for successive two year
periods unless either party gives notice they will not renew. The Advisor
subcontracts for certain services through its wholly-owned affiliate, Security
Capital (UK) Management Limited, and another Security Capital subsidiary,
Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated. The Advisor is entitled to a
management fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 1.25% of gross invested
assets, excluding investments in Security Capital securities and investments of
short-term cash and cash equivalents.
NOTE 6--OPERATING EXPENSES
USREALTY pays to the Custodian, Paying Agent, Domiciliary and Corporate Agent
as well as the Registrar and Transfer Agent, a fee in accordance with usual
practice in Luxembourg. Such fees are payable quarterly and are based on
USREALTY's gross assets.
Operating expenses, as defined in the prospectus, will be payable by USREALTY
to the extent that they fall below 0.25% per annum of the average daily value
of long-term investments of USREALTY. Any amounts exceeding 0.25% will be borne
by the Advisor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 (CONTINUED)
NOTE 7--LINE OF CREDIT
USREALTY's wholly-owned subsidiary, HOLDINGS, received preliminary commitment
for a $150 million line of credit from Commerzbank International S.A.
Commerzbank proposes to syndicate the loan to an international bank group with
a view towards increasing the line of credit to $200 million.
The line of credit will bear interest at the annual rate of Libor plus 1.75%
or, at USREALTY's option, at the prime lending rate for major U.S. banks. The
line of credit will be secured by all assets owned by HOLDINGS, which
represents substantially all of USREALTY's assets. USREALTY will guarantee the
loan and secure its guarantee by pledging its stock in HOLDINGS.
In order to fund its initial investment in Pacific Retail Trust prior to
receiving subscription funds, and thereby comply with certain technical
requirements for an exemption from certain U.S. pension fund rules, USREALTY
borrowed $53 million from a subsidiary of Security Capital, which was repaid
upon receipt by USREALTY of its initial subscription amounts. USREALTY paid
interest on this loan (aggregating $162,628) at the prime rate for major U.S.
banks, which was the rate at which Security Capital borrowed the funds which it
loaned to USREALTY.
NOTE 8--CHANGES IN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
A detailed schedule of portfolio changes is available free of charge upon
request at the registered office of USREALTY.

THE MERGERS, WARRANT ISSUANCE AND RIGHTS OFFERING
Section 2.1 The Mergers. The events set forth in this Section 2.1 shall be
effected, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as
soon as practicable after this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby are approved by the shareholders of each of SCI and SCG (the "Merger
Closing"). It is the intention of the parties that each of the events set
forth in this Section 2.1 shall occur simultaneously. SCI and SCG shall each
take all actions necessary to cause the SCG Subsidiaries to be merged with and
into a subsidiary of SCI, which subsidiary shall be a "qualified REIT
subsidiary" of SCI within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code, on the
terms and conditions set forth in the agreement and plan of merger
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (the "Agreement and Plan of
Merger"). SCI shall issue that number of SCI Common Shares in connection with
the mergers described in this Section 2.1 equal to the number obtained by
dividing $81,870,626 by the Fair Market Value of an SCI Common Share;
provided, however, that in the event that the Fair Market Value of an SCI
Common Share is less than $19.75, then the number of SCI Common Shares
issuable in connection with the mergers described in this Section 2.1 shall be
4,145,348; and provided, further, that in the event that the Fair Market Value
of an SCI Common Share is more than $24.75, then the number of SCI Common
Shares issuable in connection with the mergers described in this Section 2.1
shall be 3,307,904.

<PAGE>
Section 2.2 Warrant Issuance. SCG shall issue (the "Warrant Issuance")
warrants to purchase SCG Class B Common Shares (the "SCG Warrants") to holders
of SCI Common Shares, SCI Series B Preferred Shares and Units (in each case,
other than those owned by SCG) as of the Warrant Issuance Record Date on the
terms and in the manner described below. The SCG Warrants shall each (i) be
exercisable for one SCG Class B Common Share, (ii) have an exercise price per
SCG Class B Common Share equal to the Current Market Price of an SCG Class B
Common Share on the Warrant Issuance Date, (iii) shall expire 12 months from
the date of issuance and (iv) shall have such other terms and conditions as
set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The record date for determining the
holders entitled to participate in the Warrant Issuance (the "Warrant Issuance
Record Date") shall be the close of business on the date designated by SCG,
which date shall be within the 28-day period following the Rights Offering
Closing Date and which date shall be consistent with any restrictions in the
ruling or opinion described in Section 7.1(d). SCG shall issue an aggregate
number of SCG Warrants determined by dividing $101,029,642 by the Current
Market Price of an SCG Class B Common Share on the Warrant Issuance Date. The
number of SCG Warrants to be issued to each such holder shall be determined by
multiplying (a) the aggregate number of SCG Warrants to be issued by (b) the
number obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate number of SCI Common Shares held
of record by the holder and issuable upon conversion of all SCI Series B
Preferred Shares and upon exchange of all Units held of record by the holder,
in each case as of the close of business on the Warrant Issuance Record Date,
by (ii) the total number of SCI Common Shares outstanding (other than those
owned by SCG) and issuable upon conversion of all SCI Series B Preferred
Shares (other than those owned by SCG) and upon exchange of all Units
outstanding (other than those owned by SCG), in each case as of the close of
business on the Warrant Issuance Record Date. No certificates or scrip
representing fractional SCG Warrants shall be issued in connection with the
Warrant Issuance. The Warrant Issuance Agreement shall contain appropriate
provision to aggregate and sell all fractional SCG Warrants and remit the net
proceeds to the SCI shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to such
fractions. The Warrant Issuance shall be made pursuant to and in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrant
Issuance shall not occur unless and until all of the conditions set forth in
this Agreement have been satisfied or waived and the mergers described in
Section 2.1 have been consummated.
Section 2.3 The Rights Offering. SCI shall distribute as a dividend to each
holder of record of SCI Common Shares, as of the close of business on the SCI
Shareholders' Approval Record Date, rights to purchase SCI Common Shares
entitling such holder to subscribe for and purchase SCI Common Shares during
the period commencing on the date the SCI Prospectus is mailed to such holders
and expiring on the close of business on the date of the Merger Closing (the
"Rights Offering Expiration Date"). The issuance of such rights and the
issuance of SCI Common Shares upon exercise of such rights shall be registered
under the SCI Registration Statement and SCI shall use its best efforts to
cause the rights to be tradeable on the Exchange on which the SCI Common
Shares are listed. Each holder of SCI Common Shares shall receive one (1)
right for every one (1) SCI Common Share held of record by such holder as of
the SCI Shareholders' Approval Record Date. The exercise price per SCI Common
Share for such rights shall be equal to the amount determined by the SCI Board
(or a duly authorized committee thereof); provided, that in the event that the
Fair Market Value of an SCI Common Share is more than $24.75, then the
exercise price per SCI Common Share shall be $24.75; and provided, further,
that the exercise price per SCI Common Share shall in no event (other than as
described in the preceding proviso) be less than 94% of the Fair Market Value
of an SCI Common Share. SCI shall make available for issuance in the rights
offering, up to a maximum number of SCI Common Shares equal to the difference
between (X) the amount determined by dividing (A) the number of SCI Common
Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 by (B) the percentage of all
outstanding SCI Common Shares owned by SCG on the SCI Shareholders' Approval
Record Date (the amount determined pursuant to this clause (X) being the
"Rights Offering Amount") and (Y) the number of SCI Common Shares issuable to
SCG pursuant to Section 2.1. Each holder shall be entitled to acquire one (1)
SCI Common Share by paying the Fair Market Value and surrendering that number
of rights (rounded down to the nearest whole right) equal to the amount
determined by dividing the aggregate number of SCI Common Shares outstanding
on the SCI Shareholders' Approval Record Date by the Rights Offering Amount.
SCG agrees that it shall not exercise or sell or otherwise transfer any rights
issued to it pursuant to this Section 2.3 and SCG shall not purchase or
otherwise acquire any rights. SCI shall not accept subscriptions pursuant to
such rights unless and until all of the conditions set forth in this Agreement
have been satisfied or waived and the mergers described in Section 2.1 have
been consummated. Any SCI Common Shares that are not
I-5
<PAGE>
subscribed for by shareholders may be offered to other shareholders pursuant
to an oversubscription privilege and, if not fully subscribed for by
shareholders, may be sold to third parties. The REIT Manager shall, at its own
expense, engage an affiliate of SCG to assist SCI in selling SCI Common Shares
to third parties.

except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,

qualified and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets,
condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of any such
SCG Subsidiary. True, accurate and complete copies of each of the articles of
incorporation and bylaws of SCG and the certificate of incorporation and
bylaws of each SCG Subsidiary as in effect on the date hereof, including all
amendments thereto and proposed amendments and restatements thereof, have
heretofore been delivered to SCI.

common stock, of which 1,000 shares of common stock are issued and
outstanding. The authorized stock of the Property Manager consists of 1,000
shares of common stock, of which 1,000 shares of common stock are issued and
outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
REIT Manager and the Property Manager are owned by SCG, or a wholly owned

(b) There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, calls, contracts,
commitments, understandings, restrictions, arrangements, rights or warrants,
including any right of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security,
instrument or other agreement obligating SCG or any subsidiary of SCG to
issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional
shares of either SCG Subsidiary or obligating SCG or any subsidiary of SCG to
grant, extend or enter into any agreement or commitment with respect to any of
the foregoing. There are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or
understandings to which SCG or any subsidiary of SCG is a party or is bound
with respect to the voting of any shares of either SCG Subsidiary. Neither of
the SCG Subsidiaries owns, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other
ownership interest in any corporation, partnership, business association,
joint venture or other entity.
Section 4.3 Issuance of Securities. Subject to receiving the SCG
Shareholders' Approval, the SCG Warrants when issued in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements will constitute valid
and binding agreements of SCG enforceable against SCG in accordance with their
terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or
relating to enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general
equitable principles. Subject to receiving the SCG Shareholders' Approval, the
SCG Class B Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the SCG Warrants, when

Agreement, will be duly and validly authorized and issued and will be fully
paid and nonassessable.
Section 4.4 Authority; Non-Contravention; Approvals.
(a) SCG and each of the SCG Subsidiaries has full power, corporate or
otherwise, and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Related
Agreements to which it is a party and, subject to SCG Shareholders' Approval
and SCG Required Statutory Approvals, to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
and the Related Agreements to which they are parties, and the consummation by
SCG and the SCG Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, have been duly authorized by the SCG Board and the board of the
relevant SCG Subsidiary, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of SCG
or either SCG Subsidiary are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery
of this Agreement or the Related Agreements and the consummation by SCG and
the SCG Subsidiaries of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
except for SCG Shareholders' Approval and the obtaining of SCG Required
Statutory Approvals. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by SCG, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
hereof by SCI, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of SCG enforceable
against SCG in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be
subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, (ii) general equitable principles and (iii) to the extent this
Agreement or any of the Related Agreements contains indemnification provisions
for violations of federal or state securities laws, as enforceability of such
provisions may be limited under federal and state securities laws. As of the
date of this Agreement, neither of the SCG Subsidiaries is in violation of its
charter, bylaws or other organizational documents.
(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements
by SCG and each SCG Subsidiary, to the extent it is a party thereto, do not,
and the consummation by SCG and the SCG Subsidiaries of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby will not, violate, conflict with or result in
a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result
in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in
a right of termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any
lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of
either of the SCG Subsidiaries under any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of (i) subject to obtaining SCG Shareholders' Approval, SCG's or
such SCG Subsidiary's articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) subject to
obtaining SCG Required Statutory Approvals and SCG Shareholders' Approval, any
statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order,
injunction, writ, permit or license of any court or governmental authority
applicable to SCG or either SCG Subsidiary or any of the assets of either of
the SCG Subsidiaries, (iii) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of an
SCG Subsidiary or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) hereto, any
note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, franchise, permit,
concession,
I-9
<PAGE>
contract, lease or other instrument, obligation or agreement of any kind to
which SCG or either SCG Subsidiary is now a party or by which SCG or either
SCG Subsidiary or any of the assets of either of the SCG Subsidiaries may be
bound, excluding from the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iv) such violations,
conflicts, breaches, defaults, terminations, accelerations or creations of
liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances that would not, in the
aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or other),
results of operations or prospects of either of the SCG Subsidiaries.
(c) Except for (i) the filing of the Proxy Statement and the SCG Warrant
Registration Statement with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act, and the declaration of the effectiveness of the SCG Warrant
Registration Statement by the Commission and filings with various state blue
sky authorities, (ii) any required filings by SCG or an SCG Subsidiary
pursuant to Section 2.1 and (iii) any required filings by SCG of amendments to
its articles of incorporation (the filings and approvals referred to in
clauses (i) through (iii) are collectively referred to as the "SCG Required
Statutory Approvals"), no declaration, filing or registration with, or notice
to, or authorization, consent or approval of, any governmental or regulatory
body or authority is necessary for the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Related Agreements by SCG or either SCG Subsidiary or the
consummation by SCG or either SCG Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, other than such declarations, filings, registrations,
notices, authorizations, consents or approvals which, if not made or obtained,
as the case may be, would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties,
assets, condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of
either of the SCG Subsidiaries.
Section 4.5 Financial Statements. The audited financial statements of SCG
for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 (the "SCG Financial
Statements") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (except as otherwise set
forth in such financial statements) and fairly present the financial position
of SCG as of the dates presented and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. The unaudited balance sheet of each SCG
Subsidiary as at February 28, 1997 and Statements of Funds From Operations for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996 (the "Subsidiary Financial
Statements") fairly present the financial position of operations for the
periods presented.
Section 4.6 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since December 31, 1996,
there has not been any material adverse change or any event (other than
general economic or market conditions) which would reasonably be expected to
result in a material adverse change, individually or in the aggregate, in the
business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
other), results of operations or prospects of SCG or of either of the SCG
Subsidiaries. Each of the SCG Subsidiaries have conducted their respective
businesses in the ordinary course during the periods covered by the Subsidiary
Financial Statements.
Section 4.7 Registration Statements and Proxy Statement and Prospectuses.
None of the information to be supplied by SCG for inclusion or incorporation
by reference in the SCG Warrant Registration Statement will, at the time it
becomes effective, at the time of the mailing of the SCG Warrant Prospectus
and the Proxy Statement and any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, and
at the time of the meeting of shareholders of SCI to be held in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The SCG
Warrant Registration Statement will comply as to form in all material respects
with all applicable laws, including the provisions of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. No
representation is made by SCG with respect to information supplied by SCI, or
derived therefrom, for inclusion in the SCG Warrant Registration Statement.
Section 4.8 Taxes.
(a) Each SCG Subsidiary has duly and timely filed with the appropriate
governmental authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by it (either
separately or as a member of any affiliated group within the meaning of
I-10
<PAGE>
Section 1504 of the Code or any similar group defined under a similar
provision of state, local or foreign law (an "Affiliated Group")) for all
periods ending on or prior to the Merger Closing, except to the extent of any
Tax Returns for which an extension of time for filing has been properly filed.
Each such return and filing is true and correct in all respects. All Taxes
owed by either SCG Subsidiary have been paid (whether or not shown on a Tax
Return). No material issues have been raised in any examination by any taxing
authority with respect to the businesses and operations of SCG or either of
the SCG Subsidiaries which (i) reasonably could be expected to result in an
adjustment to the liability for Taxes for such period examined or (ii), by
application of similar principles, reasonably could be expected to result in
an adjustment to the liability for Taxes for any other period not so examined.
All Taxes which each SCG Subsidiary is required by law to withhold or collect,
including without limitation Taxes required to have been withheld in
connection with amounts paid or owning to any employee, independent
contractor, creditor, stockholder, or other third party and sales, gross
receipts and use taxes, have been duly withheld or collected and, to the
extent required, have been paid over to the proper governmental authorities or
are held in separate bank accounts for such purpose. There are no liens for
Taxes upon the assets of SCG or either of the SCG Subsidiaries except for
statutory liens for Taxes not yet due.
(b) None of SCG, the SCG Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Group has filed for
an extension of a statute of limitations with respect to any Tax and no
governmental authorities have requested an extension of the statute of
limitations with respect to any Tax. The Tax Returns of SCG, each SCG
Subsidiary and the Affiliated Group are not being and have not been examined
by any taxing authority for any past year or periods. None of SCG, the SCG
Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Group is a party to any pending action or any
formal or informal proceeding by any taxing authority for a deficiency,
assessment or collection of Taxes, and no claim for any deficiency, assessment
or collection of Taxes has been asserted, or, to the best knowledge of SCG,
threatened against it, including claims by any taxing authority in a
jurisdiction where SCG and the SCG Subsidiaries do not file tax returns that
any of them is or may be subject to taxation in that jurisdiction.
(c) Each SCG Subsidiary has properly accrued on its respective Subsidiary
Financial Statements all Taxes due for which such SCG Subsidiary may be liable
in its own right (including, without limitation, by reason of being a member
of an Affiliated Group or as a transferee of the assets of, or successor to,
any corporation, person, association, partnership, joint venture or other
entity. Each SCG Subsidiary has established (and until the Closing shall
continue to establish and maintain) on its books and records reserves that are
adequate for the payment of all Taxes not yet due and payable.
(d) Neither SCG Subsidiary (i) has filed a consent under Section 341(f) of
the Code concerning collapsible corporations, (ii) is a party to any Tax
allocation or sharing agreement other than a tax sharing agreement between an
SCG Subsidiary and SCG, which such agreement will be terminated as of the
Closing Date, and (iii) has been a member of an Affiliated Group filing a
consolidated federal income Tax Return other than a group, the common parent
of which is SCG.
(e) The Affiliated Group of which each SCG Subsidiary is a member has duly
and timely filed all Tax Returns that it was required to file for each taxable
period during which any SCG Subsidiary was a member of the group. All such Tax
Returns were true, complete and correct in all respects and all Taxes owed by
the Affiliated Group, whether or not shown on any Tax Return, have been paid
for each taxable period during which any SCG Subsidiary was a member of the
group.
(f) Neither SCG Subsidiary has any liability for the Taxes of any person
other than SCG or such SCG Subsidiary (A) under Treasury Regulation Section
1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), (B) as a
transferee or successor, (C) by contract, or (D) otherwise.
(g) Neither SCG Subsidiary has made any payments, is obligated to make any
payments, or is a party to an agreement that could obligate it to make any
payments that will not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code. Each SCG
Subsidiary has disclosed to the IRS all positions taken on its federal income
tax returns which could give rise to a substantial understatement of tax under
Section 6662 of the Code.

Section 4.9 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. SCG did not have, at
December 31, 1996, and has not incurred since that date, any liabilities or
obligations (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any nature
(other than ordinary and recurring operating expenses) with respect to any of
the assets of either of the SCG Subsidiaries, and neither SCG Subsidiary had,
at December 31, 1996, and none has incurred since that date, any liabilities
or obligations (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of any
nature (other than ordinary and recurring operating expenses) (a) except
liabilities, obligations or contingencies which are accrued or reserved
against in the SCG Financial Statements or the Subsidiary Financial Statements
or reflected in the notes thereto and (b) except for any liabilities,
obligations or contingencies which (i) would not, in the aggregate, be
reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or other), results of
operations or prospects of SCG or either of the SCG Subsidiaries or (ii) have
been discharged or paid in full prior to the date hereof.
Section 4.10 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.10, there are no
claims, suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to the best of SCG's
knowledge, threatened, against, relating to or affecting either of the SCG
Subsidiaries or any of the assets of either of the SCG Subsidiaries before or
by any court, governmental department, commission, agency, instrumentality or
authority, or any arbitrator that could reasonably be expected, either alone
or in the aggregate with all such claims, actions or proceedings, to affect
materially and adversely the business, operations, properties, assets,
condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of either
of the SCG Subsidiaries. Neither SCG Subsidiary is subject to any judgment,
decree, injunction, rule or order of any court, governmental department,
commission, agency, instrumentality or authority, or any arbitrator which
prohibits or restricts the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or by any of the Related Agreements or would have a material adverse
effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial
or other), results of operations or prospects of either of the SCG
Subsidiaries.
Section 4.11 No Violation of Law. Neither of the SCG Subsidiaries is in
violation of or has been given notice or been charged with any violation of
any law, statute, order, rule, regulation, ordinance or judgment (including,
without limitation, any applicable Environmental Laws) of any governmental or
regulatory body or authority, except for violations which, in the aggregate,
would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or other),
results of operations or prospects of either of the SCG Subsidiaries. No
investigation or review of either of the SCG Subsidiaries by any governmental
or regulatory body or authority is pending or, to the best knowledge of SCG,
threatened, nor has any governmental or regulatory body or authority indicated
to SCG or either SCG Subsidiary an intention to conduct the same. Each of the
SCG Subsidiaries and each of its officers and employees has all permits,
licenses, franchises, variances, exemptions, orders and other governmental
authorizations, consents and approvals necessary to conduct its business as
presently conducted and as proposed by such SCG Subsidiary to be conducted,
except for permits, licenses, franchises, variances, exemptions, orders,
authorizations, consents and approvals the absence of which, alone or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect
on the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or
other), results of operations or prospects of either of the SCG Subsidiaries.
Section 4.12 Insurance. SCG or the SCG Subsidiaries maintain insurance
coverage for each SCG Subsidiary and their respective assets of the types, and
in amounts, typical of similar companies engaged in the respective businesses
in which such SCG Subsidiary is engaged. All such insurance policies are in
full force and effect, and with respect to all policies, none of SCG nor
either SCG Subsidiary is delinquent in the payment of any premiums thereon,
and no notice of cancellation or termination has been received with respect to
any such policy. All such policies are sufficient for compliance with all
requirements of law and of all agreements to which either of the SCG
Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound and are valid, outstanding,
collectable, and enforceable policies and will remain in full force and effect
through their respective policy periods ending after the Merger Closing
(assuming payment of any applicable premiums arising after the Merger
Closing). Neither SCG nor either SCG Subsidiary has received written notice
within the last 12 months from any insurance company or board of fire
underwriters of any conditions, defects or inadequacies that would materially
adversely
I-12
<PAGE>
affect the insurability of, or cause any material increase in the premiums for
insurance covering, either of the SCG Subsidiaries or any of the assets of
either of the SCG Subsidiaries that have not been cured or repaired to the
satisfaction of the party issuing the notice.
Section 4.13 Employee Benefit Plans. SCG has previously provided or made
available to SCI a copy of each written employee benefit plan maintained by
SCG and/or its affiliates ("Employee Benefit Plans") that provides retirement,
pension, health care, long-term disability income, workers compensation, life
insurance and any other postretirement benefits that, as of the date hereof,
covers any employee of an SCG Subsidiary ("Employees") and a copy of each
plan, contract, or arrangement constituting an employment or severance
agreement with any director or Employee of an SCG Subsidiary. Each Employee
Benefit Plan complies and has been administered in form and in operation in
all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and no notice
has been issued by any governmental authority questioning or challenging such
compliance. Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any of the
Related Agreements nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby constitutes or will constitute an event under any Employee
Benefit Plan or any such employment or severance agreement that may result in
any payment by SCI or any SCG Subsidiary, any restriction or limitation upon
the assets of any Employee Benefit Plan, any acceleration of payment or
vesting, increase in benefits or compensation, or forgiveness of any loan or
other commitment to SCI or an SCG Subsidiary.
Section 4.14 Intellectual Property. Schedule 4.14 is a true and complete
list of all of the Intellectual Property used in the conduct of the businesses
of the SCG Subsidiaries. All the Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 4.14
is either owned or being licensed by one of the SCG Subsidiaries. With respect
to the Intellectual Property indicated on Schedule 4.14 as being owned by one
of the SCG Subsidiaries, the respective SCG Subsidiary indicated as owning
such Intellectual Property owns all right, title and interest in such
Intellectual Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims,
security interests and defects. With respect to the Intellectual Property
indicated on Schedule 4.14 as being licensed by one of the SCG Subsidiaries,
the respective SCG Subsidiary indicated as licensing such Intellectual
Property (i) has the right under the applicable license agreement to use the
relevant Intellectual Property in the manner in which it is being used in the
conduct of the business of the SCG Subsidiary and (ii) is in compliance with
all terms and conditions of each such license agreement except where such
failure to be in compliance could not reasonably be expected to have any
material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets,
condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of either
SCG Subsidiary. None of the Intellectual Property has been or is the subject
of any pending adverse claim, or to the best knowledge of SCG, any threatened
litigation or claim of infringement based on the use thereof by either one of
the SCG Subsidiaries or a third party. Neither SCG nor either of the SCG
Subsidiaries has received any notice contesting SCG's or the SCG Subsidiaries'
right to use any of the Intellectual Property and, to the knowledge of SCG,
neither of the SCG Subsidiaries has infringed upon or misappropriated any
intellectual property rights of third parties.
Section 4.15 Labor. None of SCG or any of the SCG Subsidiaries is a party
to, or bound by, an collective bargaining agreement, contract or other
understanding with a labor union or labor union organization. There is no
unfair labor practice or labor arbitration proceeding pending or, to the
knowledge of SCG, threatened against the SCG Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of
SCG, there are no organizational efforts with respect to the formation of a
collective bargaining unit presently being made or threatened involving
employees of either SCG Subsidiary.
Section 4.16 Brokers and Finders. SCG has not employed any broker, finder or
other intermediary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement which would be entitled to any brokerage, finder's or similar fee or
commission in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
Section 4.17 Investment Company Act. None of SCG and the SCG Subsidiaries
is, and as of the date of the Merger Closing they will not be, an "investment
company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
nor an "investment adviser" within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940, as amended.
I-13
<PAGE>
Section 4.18 Adequacy of SCG Consideration. Except for the Intellectual
Property described on Schedule 4.14, no part of the respective businesses
conducted by the SCG Subsidiaries is conducted through any entity other than
the respective SCG Subsidiary.
Section 4.19 Investment in Securities.
SCG understands that (i) no Federal or state agency has passed upon the SCI
Common Shares to be issued in connection with the mergers described in Section
2.1 or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of SCG's
investment therein or the terms of the offer and the sale thereof pursuant to
this Agreement and the Related Agreements and (ii) SCG must bear the economic
risk of its investment in the SCI Common Shares to be issued in connection
with the mergers described in Section 2.1 for an indefinite period of time
because such shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws, and, therefore, cannot be sold or transferred unless
either they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registrations is
available.
(b) The SCI Common Shares to be issued in connection with the mergers
described in Section 2.1 are being acquired for SCG's own account and not with
any view toward the resale or distribution thereof, or with any present
intention of selling or distributing any such shares.
(c) SCG has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
SCI Common Shares to be issued in connection with the mergers described in
Section 2.1.
(d) SCG has carefully reviewed all documents that it has requested copies
of, has been furnished with all other materials that it considers relevant to
an investment in the SCI Common Shares to be issued in connection with the
mergers described in Section 2.1 and has had a full opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from SCI or a person or persons acting on
behalf of SCI concerning the terms and conditions of an investment in the SCI
Common Shares to be issued in connection with the mergers described in Section
2.1.
Section 4.20 Title to Assets; No Real Property. Set forth on Schedule 4.20
is a complete list of all of the assets currently owned by each SCG Subsidiary
which are materially important in the conduct of its business as it is being
currently conducted and a list of all officers and key employees of each such
SCG Subsidiary. The SCG Subsidiaries have good, valid and marketable title to,
or a leasehold interest in, (a) all of their material properties and assets
(tangible and intangible) reflected in the Subsidiary Financial Statements,
except as indicated in the notes thereto and except for properties and assets
disposed of in the ordinary course of business, and (b) all of the material
properties and assets purchased by an SCG Subsidiary since the date of such
financial statements, except for properties and assets disposed of in the
ordinary course of business, in each case subject to no lien, claim, or
encumbrance other than (i) liens reflected in such financial statements, (ii)
liens for current Taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies not yet
due and delinquent, and (iii) liens that could not reasonably be expected to
have any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties,
assets, condition (financial or other), results of operations or prospects of
either SCG Subsidiary. Neither SCG Subsidiary owns, in whole or in part, or
holds as record title holder, or is the holder of any mortgage or deed of
trust with respect to, any real property.
Section 4.21 Projections. The projections prepared by SCG and furnished to
SCI have been prepared in good faith and with all available information
regarding the current operations of SCI and the SCG Subsidiaries and the
operations of SCI as proposed to be conducted and are based upon assumptions
which SCG believes to be reasonable. However, no representation or warranty is
made by SCG that the results set forth in such projections or the assumptions
underlying such projections will in fact be realized. SCG has previously
caused Arthur Andersen LLP to deliver to SCI a report verifying the
mathematical accuracy of the methodology used by SCG in preparing the
projections. All of the information supplied by SCG to Arthur Andersen LLP for
purposes of preparing such report has been provided or made available to SCI
or, if not so provided or made available, is consistent with the information
set forth in the projections in all material respects.

their respective best efforts to facilitate the expeditious consummation of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

SCI's declaration of trust necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and any amendments to SCG's articles of incorporation
necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (as appropriate,
the "SCI Shareholders' Approval" and "SCG Shareholders' Approval"). The SCI
Board and SCG Board shall recommend to their respective shareholders the
approval of this Agreement and of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the respective meetings of
shareholders of SCI and SCG, the SCI Board or SCG Board, as the case may be,
may withdraw, modify or amend such recommendation to the extent that the SCI
Board or the SCI Special Committee or the SCG Board, as the case may be, deems
it necessary to do so in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to SCI or
SCG, as the case may be, after being so advised by nationally recognized
counsel not having an interest in the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or the Related Agreements.
Section 6.4 Affiliate Agreements. SCI shall use its best efforts to cause
each principal executive officer, trustee and each other person who is an
"affiliate," as that term is used in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule 145 under
the Securities Act, of SCI to execute and deliver to SCG on or prior to the
Warrant Issuance Date a written agreement (an "Affiliate Agreement") to the
effect that such person will not offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of
any SCG Warrants (or the SCG Class B Common Share issuable upon exercise
thereof) issued in the Warrant Issuance and received by such person, except,
in each case, pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance
with Rule 145, as amended from time to time, or in a transaction which, in the
opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to SCG, is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
Section 6.5 Exchange. SCG shall use its best efforts to effect, at or before
the Warrant Issuance Date, authorization for listing or quotation of the SCG
Warrants on the New York Stock Exchange or another Exchange upon official

provided, however, that (i) all costs and expenses of the SCI Special
Committee (including fees and expenses of counsel and its financial advisors),
and all fees and expenses in connection with filing, printing and distributing
the SCI Registration Statement, the SCI Prospectus and the Proxy Statement
shall be paid by SCI and (ii) all costs and expenses in connection with
filing, printing and distributing the SCG Warrant Registration Statement and

or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under
applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements,
including using its best efforts to identify and obtain all necessary or
appropriate waivers, consents and approvals to effect all necessary
registrations, filings and submissions (including, but not limited to, SCI
Required Statutory Approvals, SCG Required Statutory Approvals and any filings
under federal and state securities laws) and to lift any injunction or other
legal bar to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and, in such
case, to proceed with such transactions as expeditiously as possible),
subject, however, to obtaining SCI Shareholders' Approval and SCG
Shareholders' Approval.
Section 6.8 Public Statements. The parties hereto shall consult with each
other prior to issuing any press release or any written public statement with
respect to this Agreement and the Related Agreements or the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and shall not issue any such press release or
written public statement prior to review and approval by the other party,
except that prior review and approval shall not be required if, in the
reasonable judgment of the party seeking to issue such release or public
statement, prior review and approval would prevent the timely dissemination of
such release or announcement in violation of any applicable law, rule or
regulation or rule or policy of the New York Stock Exchange or another
Exchange.
Section 6.9 Corrections to the SCG Warrant Registration Statement and SCG
Warrant Prospectus. Prior to the date of SCI Shareholders' Approval, each of
SCI and SCG shall correct promptly any information provided by it to be used
specifically in the SCG Warrant Registration Statement or the SCI Registration
Statement, or incorporated by reference into either such document, that shall
have become false or misleading in any material respect and shall take all
steps necessary to file with the Commission and have declared effective or
cleared by the Commission any amendment or supplement to the SCG Warrant
Registration Statement or the SCI Registration Statement so as to correct the
same and to cause the SCG Warrant Registration Statement and the SCI
Registration Statement as so corrected to be disseminated to the shareholders
of SCI, in each case to the extent required by applicable law.
Section 6.10 Voting of Shares. SCG will vote all SCI Common Shares owned by
it in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Related
Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including
such amendments to SCI's Declaration of Trust as may be required to allow
consummation of such transactions); provided, however, that SCG shall not be
obligated to vote any SCI Common Shares in favor of such matters in the event
that the SCI Board, the SCI Special Committee or the SCG Board withdraws,

Section 6.11 Confidentiality
As used herein, "Confidential Material" means, with respect to either party
hereto (the "Providing Party"), all information, whether oral, written or
otherwise, furnished to the other party hereto (the "Receiving Party") or the
Receiving Party's directors, trustees, officers, partners, Affiliates (as
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), employees, agents or
representatives (collectively, "Representatives"), by the Providing Party and
all reports, analyses, compilations, studies and other material prepared by
the Receiving Party or its
I-18
<PAGE>
Representatives (in whatever form maintained, whether documentary, computer
storage or otherwise) containing, reflecting or based upon, in whole or in
part, any such information. The term "Confidential Material" does not include
information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other
than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party, its Representatives
or anyone to whom the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives transmit
any Confidential Material in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes
known or available to the Receiving Party on a nonconfidential basis from a
source (other than the Providing Party or one of its Representatives) who is
not, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party after reasonable inquiry,
prohibited from transmitting the information to the Receiving Party or its
Representatives by a contractual, legal, fiduciary or other obligation or
(iii) is contained in the SCI Registration Statement, the SCI Prospectus, the
Proxy Statement, the SCG Warrant Registration Statement or the SCG Warrant
Prospectus.
Subject to paragraph (c) below or except as required by applicable laws,
regulations or legal process, the Confidential Material will be kept
confidential and will not, without the prior written consent of the Providing
Party, be disclosed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives, in whole or
in part, and will not be used by the Receiving Party or its Representatives,
directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than in connection with this
Agreement, the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby or evaluating, negotiating or advising with respect to such matters.
Moreover, the Receiving Party agrees to transmit Confidential Material to its
Representatives only if and to the extent that such Representatives need to
know the Confidential Material for purposes of such transactions and are
informed by the Receiving Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential
Material and of the terms of this Section 6.11. In any event, the Receiving
Party will be responsible for any actions by its Representatives which are not
in accordance with the provisions hereof.
In the event that the Receiving Party, its Representatives or anyone to whom
the Receiving Party or its Representatives supply the Confidential Material
are requested (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand, any informal or
formal investigation by any government or governmental agency or authority or
otherwise in connection with legal process) to disclose any Confidential
Material, the Receiving Party agrees (i) to immediately notify the Providing
Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request,
(ii) to consult with the Providing Party on the advisability of taking legal
available steps to resist or narrow such request and (iii) if disclosure of
such information is required, to furnish only that portion of the Confidential
Material which, in the opinion of the Receiving Party's counsel, the Receiving
Party is legally compelled to disclose and to cooperate with any action by the
Providing Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential
Material (it being agreed that the Providing Party shall reimburse the
Receiving Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Receiving Party in connection with such cooperation).
In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its
terms, promptly upon request from the Providing Party, the Receiving Party
shall, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or
legal process, redeliver to the Providing Party or destroy all tangible
Confidential Material and will not retain any copies, extracts or other
reproductions thereof in whole or in part. Any such destruction shall be
certified in writing to the Providing Party by an authorized officer of the
Receiving Party supervising the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Receiving Party and one Representative designated by the Receiving Party shall
be permitted to retain one permanent file copy of each document constituting
Confidential Material to be used only in connection with litigation arising
from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.12 Personnel.
(a) SCG Liability for Employee Obligations. SCG shall indemnify and hold
harmless SCI for any and all obligations, debts or liabilities relating to or
arising from any Employee's employment with SCG or an SCG Subsidiary, which
obligation, debt or liability arises prior to the Merger Closing date. SCG
shall honor or cause its insurance carriers to honor all claims for benefits
by the Employees under each Employee Benefit Plan with respect to claims
incurred by the Employees or their covered dependents before the Merger
Closing date.
I-19
<PAGE>
(b) Employee Benefit Plans. SCI shall establish or cause to be established
employee benefit plans for the respective Employees who become employees of
SCI or any subsidiary thereof after the Merger Closing that are substantially
similar to the Employee Benefit Plans, which plans shall recognize service of
the Employees with SCI and SCG and their affiliates to the same extent such
service has been recognized under the Employee Benefit Plans. The medical
plans established by SCI shall recognize any deductibles and copayments
Employees have made under the SCG medical plan in the current plan year.
(c) Nonassumption of Employee Benefit Plan Liability. SCI shall not incur
any liability with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan.
Section 6.13 Prorations. No later than ninety (90) days after the date of
the Merger Closing, SCG shall prepare and deliver a statement (a "Post-Closing
Accrual Statement") prorating all of the items listed in this Section 6.13
("Prorated Items") through the date of the Merger Closing. SCG shall be liable
for or entitled to the benefit of the Prorated Items to the extent the
Prorated Items relate to any time period up to the date of the Merger Closing,
and SCI shall be liable for or entitled to the benefit of the Prorated Items
to the extent Prorated Items relate to periods from and subsequent to the date
of the Merger Closing. Prorated Items shall be settled between SCG and SCI in
cash. The Prorated Items are as follows:
(a) all Taxes relating to the businesses of the SCG Subsidiaries which
shall have accrued and become payable prior to the date of the Merger
Closing shall be paid by SCG. All Taxes which shall be (or should be)
accrued but unpaid or which have been paid in advance shall be properly
prorated as of the date of the Merger Closing between SCG and SCI. In
connection with such proration of Taxes, in the event that actual tax
figures are not available at the time of delivery of the Post-Closing
Accrual Statement, the taxes to be prorated shall be based upon the actual
taxes for the preceding year for which actual tax amounts are available and
such taxes shall be reprorated upon request of either party made within
sixty (60) days of the date that the actual amounts become available,
provided that the actual amount is at least 5% more or 5% less than the
amount on which the original proration was based, and appropriate payment
shall be made within thirty (30) days after such reproration;
(b) rents, taxes and other items payable by either of the SCG
Subsidiaries under any agreement;
(c) the amount of any license or registration fees with respect to any
licenses or registrations of either of the SCG Subsidiaries;
(d) the amount of charges for water, telephone, electricity and other
utilities and fuel;
(e) all accrued vacation, termination and severance pay and accrued
sickness benefits for all Employees including related, social security
taxes, unemployment compensation taxes, workers compensation taxes and
premiums and other employment taxes relating to the same;
(f) all other operating expenses, including without limitation insurance
premiums and amounts payable to service providers, of the SCG Subsidiaries;
(g) all management fees, commissions and other fees and income of the SCG
Subsidiaries; and
(h) all other items not specifically described in subsections (a)-(g)
above which are normally prorated in connection with similar transactions.
In addition to the Prorated Items, the Post-Closing Accrual Statement shall
also reflect any payments made by SCG or either of the SCG Subsidiaries
prior to Merger Closing with respect to any Prorated Items. SCG agrees to
furnish SCI with such documents and other records as SCI reasonably
requests in order to confirm all adjustment and proration calculations
reflected on the Post-Closing Accrual Statement.
Section 6.14 Tax Matters.
(a) Tax Reporting. The parties agree that they will report, and will cause
the SCG Subsidiaries and the surviving corporation in the mergers pursuant to
Section 2.1 to report, the Merger on all Tax Returns and other filings as tax-
free reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code.
I-20
<PAGE>
(b) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax sharing agreement between SCG and an SCG
Subsidiary will be terminated as of the Merger Closing and will have no
further effect for any taxable year.
(c) Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date. SCG will include the
income of each of the SCG Subsidiaries (including any deferred income
triggered into income by Section 1.1502-13 of the Treasury Regulations and any
excess loss accounts taken into income under Section 1.1502-19 of the Treasury
Regulations) on the SCG consolidated Tax Returns for all periods through the
Merger Closing and pay any Taxes attributable to such income. Each SCG
Subsidiary will furnish Tax information to SCG for inclusion in SCG's
consolidated Tax Returns for the period which includes the date of the Merger
Closing in accordance with each SCG Subsidiary's past custom and practice. SCG
will allow SCI a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Tax
Returns (including any amended returns) prior to their being filed to the
extent that they relate to any SCG Subsidiary. Without the consent of SCI, SCG
will take no position on such returns that relate to any SCG Subsidiary that
would be inconsistent with prior positions taken by SCG. The income of each
SCG Subsidiary will be apportioned to the period up to and including the
Merger Closing date and the period after the Merger Closing date by closing
the books of each SCG Subsidiary as of the end of the Merger Closing date.
(d) Cooperation. SCG and SCI will cooperate fully with each other in
connection with (i) the preparation and filing of any Federal, state or local
tax returns that include the business and operations of the SCG Subsidiaries
for any period prior to and including the date of the Merger Closing, and (ii)
any audit examination by any government taxing authority of the returns
referred to in clause (i). Such cooperation shall include, without limitation,
the furnishing or making available of records, books of account or other
materials of the SCG Subsidiaries necessary or helpful for the defense against
assertions of any taxing authority as to any tax returns which include
operations of the SCG Subsidiaries for any period prior to and including the
date of the Merger Closing.
(e) Claims. In a case in which SCI or its subsidiaries receives any inquiry,
whether oral or written, from any taxing authority relating to any matter
which could result in the indemnification of SCI by SCG under Section 9.1, SCI
will promptly give SCG written notice (the "Tax Inquiry Notice") of such
inquiry. If such Tax Inquiry Notice is not given to SCG within 30 days after
the receipt by SCI or its subsidiaries of such an inquiry and SCI's failure to
give such Tax Inquiry Notice materially and substantially adversely affects
the ability of SCG to contest any claim made by such taxing authority, SCG
shall not be liable to SCI under Section 9.1 for such claim.
(f) Notice 88-19 Election. SCI will make an election to be subject to rules
similar to the rules of Section 1374 of the Code in accordance with Internal
Revenue Service Notice 88-19, 1988-1 C.B. 486, or any future applicable
administrative rules or treasury regulations.
(g) Settlement or Compromise. SCI will not settle or otherwise compromise
any claim or issue subject to indemnification under Section 9.1 without SCG's
prior written consent, which SCG shall not unreasonably withhold. Nothing
contained herein shall require SCI to contest a claim if SCI shall waive the
payment by SCG of any amount that might otherwise be payable by SCG pursuant
to Section 9.1 hereof in respect of such claim.
Section 6.15 Standstill. SCG agrees that, during the period beginning on the
Closing Date and ending 180 days thereafter, it will not sell or cause to be
sold any SCI Common Shares beneficially owned by SCG.

letters" delivered by independent public accountants in connection with
registration statements and proxy statements; and
(f) No governmental consent, order or approval legally required for the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the
Related Agreements shall have any terms which in the reasonable judgment of
SCG, when taken together with the terms of all such consents, orders or
approvals, would materially impair the value to SCG of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements (including,
without limitation, the value of the SCI Common Shares to be received by
SCG pursuant to Section 2.1), and no governmental authority shall have
promulgated any statute, rule or regulation which, when taken together with
all such promulgations, would materially impair the value to SCG and the
shareholders of SCG of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Related Agreements (including, without limitation, the value of the SCI
Common Shares to be received by SCG pursuant to Section 2.1).
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER
Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Merger Closing, whether before or after approval by the shareholders of
SCI and SCG:
(a) by mutual consent of each of the parties hereto;
(b) unilaterally by either of the parties hereto, so long as such party
has not breached any of its obligations hereunder (except for such breaches
as are immaterial), if the transactions contemplated hereby shall not have
been consummated on or before December 31, 1997 (the "Termination Date");
(c) unilaterally by either of the parties hereto (i) if the other party
(A) fails to perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement in any
material respect, and does not cure the failure, in all material respects
within 15 business days after the terminating party delivers written notice
of the alleged failure or (B) fails to fulfill or complete a condition to
the obligations of the terminating party (which condition is not waived) by
reason of a breach by the non-terminating party of its obligations
hereunder or (ii) if any condition to the obligations of the terminating
party is not satisfied (other than by reason of a breach by that party of
its obligations hereunder), and it reasonably appears that the condition
cannot be satisfied prior to the Termination Date;
(d) unilaterally by SCG if SCI, through the SCI Board or SCI Special
Committee, either fails to recommend to SCI's shareholders the approval of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or withdraws,
modifies or amends such recommendation; and
(e) unilaterally by SCI if SCG, through the SCG Board, either fails to
recommend to SCG's shareholders the approval of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby or withdraws, modifies or amends such
recommendation.
Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement, as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become
void, and there shall be no further obligation on the part of any party
I-24
<PAGE>
hereto or their respective officers or directors or trustees (except as set
forth in this Section 8.2 and in Sections 6.6 and 6.11 and Article IX, which
shall survive such termination). Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any
party from liability for any breach of this Agreement. Upon any termination
pursuant to Section 8.1(d), SCI shall pay to SCG all of the documented, out-
of-pocket expenses incurred by SCG after the date hereof in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon any termination pursuant
to Section 8.1(e), SCG shall pay to SCI all of the documented, out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by SCI after the date hereof in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an
instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and in
compliance with applicable law; provided, however, this Agreement may not be
amended in any material respect following the SCI Shareholders' Approval or
SCG Shareholders' Approval.
Section 8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Merger Closing, each party
hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations
or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions contained herein except SCI Shareholders' Approval or the SCG
Shareholders' Approval. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any
such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of such party.
ARTICLE IX
SURVIVAL AND REMEDY; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Indemnification. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify (each an
"Indemnifying Party") the other party hereto and each of such other party's
affiliates (each an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified
Parties") against, and agrees to hold it and them harmless from, any and all
liabilities, losses, costs, damages, penalties or expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and costs of investigation
and litigation) (collectively, "Losses") incurred or suffered by an
Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection with any breach of, or
inaccuracy in, (i) to the extent SCG is the Indemnifying Party, any of the
representations and warranties or agreements of SCG under this Agreement and
(ii) to the extent SCI is the Indemnifying Party, the representations and
warranties of the SCI set forth in Section 3.3 and Section 3.4(a) of this
Agreement. In addition, SCG agrees to indemnify SCI and each of SCI's
affiliates (other than SCG, but including, after the Merger Closing, the
surviving corporation in the merger pursuant to Section 2.1) (SCI and such
included affiliates being included within the terms "Indemnified Party" and
"Indemnified Parties" as used in the other sections of this Article IX)
against, and agrees to hold it and them harmless from, any and all Losses
incurred or suffered by it or them arising out of or in connection with (X)
any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations and warranties of
SCI set forth in this Agreement other than those set forth in Section 3.3 or
Section 3.4(a), (Y) any acts or omissions of either of the SCG Subsidiaries in
their respective capacities as REIT Manager and Property Manager prior to the
Merger Closing, but only to the extent that such breach, inaccuracy, act, or
omission arises out of or results from the gross negligence, bad faith, or
willful misconduct of either SCG Subsidiary or (Z) any income tax liabilities
arising pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-6 or any analogous
provision.
Section 9.2 Limitation of Indemnification. An Indemnified Party shall not be
entitled to indemnification under this Article IX until the aggregate of all
Losses with respect to which such Indemnified Party would otherwise be
entitled to indemnification under this Article IX exceeds $250,000, in which
event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to all such Losses including
such $250,000; provided, however, that none of the indemnification obligations
hereunder (other than for Losses arising in connection with a breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.8 or under clause (Z) of
Section 9.1) shall exceed the Fair Market Value of the SCI Common Shares
received by SCG pursuant to Section 2.1.
I-25
<PAGE>
Section 9.3 Notice of Claims; Assumption of Defense. The Indemnified Party
shall give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party, in accordance with the
terms of Section 10.1 and in the case of a tax inquiry in compliance with the
terms of Section 6.14(e), of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement
of any suit, action or proceeding by any party in respect of which indemnity
may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis
therefor and giving the Indemnifying Party such information with respect
thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The Indemnifying
Party may, at its own expense, (a) participate in and (b) upon notice to the
Indemnified Party and upon the Indemnifying Party's written agreement that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1 for
Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time
during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the
defense thereof; provided that (x) the Indemnifying Party's counsel is
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (y) the Indemnifying
Party shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon its reasonable
request from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or
proceeding; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right
to retain its own counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by
the Indemnifying Party, if the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that
representation of it by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would
be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between the
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense
thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel
employed by the Indemnifying Party. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party
chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all
of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.
Section 9.4 Settlement or Compromise. Any settlement or compromise made or
caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, as the
case may be, of any claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to
in Section 9.3 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Party or the
Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final
judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in
the amount of such settlement or compromise. No party shall settle or
compromise any such claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior
written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.5 Failure of Indemnifying Party to Act. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit,
action or proceeding within a reasonable time of being notified by the
Indemnified Party, then any failure of the Indemnified Party to defend or to
participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to
cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligations hereunder.
Section 9.6 Survival. The indemnification provided by this Article IX shall
be a continuing right to indemnification and shall survive the closing of the
transactions contemplated hereby and the expiration or termination of this
Agreement (i) for a period of two years following the Merger Closing with
respect to any indemnification not in connection with a breach of the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.8 and clause (z) of
Section 9.1 and (ii) until the expiration of the statute of limitations (as it
may be extended) with respect to each tax year or period pertinent to the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.8 and clause (z) of
Section 9.1 with respect to any indemnification in connection with a breach
thereof; and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to bring an action
thereon only if the Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party written
notice within such two-year period or statute-of-limitations period, as the
case may be.
Section 9.7 Waiver of Counterclaims for Indemnification. If and to the
extent that SCG, by virtue of being an Indemnifying Party hereunder, would
have a claim against any Indemnified Party for indemnification against Losses
under the REIT Management Agreement or Property Management Agreement, SCG
hereby waives and forever releases the Indemnified Parties from any such
claim.

SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
1997 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
SECTION 1
GENERAL
1.1. Purpose. The Security Capital Industrial Trust 1997 Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the "Plan") has been established by Security Capital Industrial Trust
(the "Trust") to:
(a) attract and retain employees and other persons providing services to
the Trust and the Related Companies (as defined below);
(b) motivate Participants (as defined in subsection 1.2), by means of
appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals;
(c) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive
with those of other corporations and real estate investment trusts; and
(d) further identify Participants' interests with those of the Trust's
other shareholders through compensation that is based on the value of the
Trust's common shares;
and thereby promote the long-term financial interest of the Trust and the
Related Companies, including the growth in value of the Trust's equity and
enhancement of long-term shareholder return. The term "Related Company" means
any company during any period in which it is a "subsidiary corporation" (as
that term is defined in section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code")), with respect to the Trust or any affiliate of the
Trust which is designated as a Related Company by the Committee.
1.2. Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the
Committee (as described in Section 7) shall determine and designate, from time
to time, from among the Eligible Individuals (as defined below), those persons
who will be granted one or more awards under Sections 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the Plan
(an "Award"), and thereby become "Participants" in the Plan. In the discretion
of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan, a Participant may be
granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and more than
one Award may be granted to a Participant. Except as otherwise agreed by the
Trust and the Participant, or except as otherwise provided in the Plan, an
Award under the Plan shall not affect any previous Award under the Plan or an
award under any other plan maintained by the Trust or the Related Companies.
For purposes of the Plan, the term "Eligible Individual" shall mean any
employee of the Trust or a Related Company; provided, however, that a member
of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") who is not an employee of
the Trust or a Related Company shall not be an "Eligible Individual".
SECTION 2
OPTIONS
2.1. Definitions. The grant of an "Option" under this Section 2 entitles the
Participant to purchase common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust
("Shares") at a price fixed at the time the Option is granted, subject to the
terms of this Section. Options granted under this Section may be either
Incentive Share Options or Non-Qualified Share Options, as determined in the
discretion of the Committee. An "Incentive Share Option" is an Option that is
intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an "incentive stock option"
described in section 422 of the Code. A "Non-Qualified Share Option" is an
Option that is not intended to be an Incentive Share Option.
2.2. Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom
Options are to be granted under this Section and shall determine the number of
Shares subject to each such Option. If the Committee grants
<PAGE>
Incentive Share Options, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of
Shares with respect to which Incentive Share Options are exercisable for the
first time by any individual during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Trust and all related companies within the meaning of section 424(f) of the
Code) exceeds $100,000, such options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Share
Options, to the extent required by section 422 of the Code.
2.3. Price. The determination and payment of the purchase price of a Share
under each Option granted under this Section shall be subject to the
following:
(a) The purchase price shall be established by the Committee at the time
the Option is granted; provided, however, that in no event shall such price
be less than the par value of a Share on such date; further, provided, in
no event shall the purchase price of a Share under an Incentive Share
Option be less than the Fair Market Value (defined below) of a Share at the
time the Option is granted.
(b) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection, the full
purchase price of each Share purchased upon the exercise of any Option
shall be paid at the time of such exercise (or such later date as may be
permitted by the Committee in the case of a cashless exercise) and, as soon
as practicable thereafter, a certificate representing the Shares so
purchased shall be delivered to the person entitled thereto.
(c) The purchase price shall be payable in cash or in Shares (valued at
Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise) that have been held by the
Participant at least six months, or in any combination thereof, as
determined by the Committee.
(d) The "Fair Market Value" of a Share as of any date shall be determined
in accordance with the following rules:
(i) If the Shares are at the time listed or admitted to trading on
any stock exchange, then the Fair Market Value shall be the average of
the highest and lowest sales price per Share on such date on the
principal exchange on which the Shares are then listed or admitted to
trading or, if no such sale is reported on that date, on the last
preceding date on which a sale was so reported.
(ii) If the Shares are not at the time listed or admitted to trading
on a stock exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the
lowest reported bid price and highest reported asked price of the
Shares on the date in question in the over-the-counter market, as such
prices are reported in a publication of general circulation selected by
the Committee and regularly reporting the market price of Shares in
such market.
(iii) If the Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any
stock exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market, the Fair
Market Value shall be as determined by the Committee in good faith.
(iv) For purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of Shares that
are sold pursuant to a cashless exercise program, Fair Market Value
shall be the price at which such Shares are sold.
2.4. Exercise. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, an Option
granted under this Section shall be exercisable in accordance with the
following terms of this subsection:
(a) The terms and conditions relating to exercise of an Option shall be
established by the Committee, and may include, without limitation,
conditions relating to completion of a specified period of service (subject
to paragraph (b) below), achievement of performance standards prior to
exercise of the Option or the achievement of Share ownership objectives by
the Participant. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the
vesting of any Option under circumstances designated by it at the time the
Option is granted or thereafter.
(b) No Option may be exercised by a Participant after the Expiration Date
(as defined in subsection 2.6) applicable to that Option.
2.5. Post-Exercise Limitations. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose
such restrictions on Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as
it determines to be desirable, including, without limitation, restrictions
relating to disposition of the shares and forfeiture restrictions based on
service, performance, Share ownership by the Participant and such other
factors as the Committee determines to be appropriate.
2
<PAGE>
2.6. Expiration Date. The "Expiration Date" with respect to an Option means
the date established as the Expiration Date by the Committee at the time of
the grant; provided, however, that unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, the Expiration Date with respect to any Option shall not be later
than the earliest to occur of:
(a) the ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option is granted;
(b) if the Participant's Date of Termination occurs by reason of death,
Disability or Retirement, the one-year anniversary of such Date of
Termination; or
(c) if the Participant's Date of Termination occurs for reasons other
than Retirement, death or Disability, the three-month anniversary of such
Date of Termination.
For purposes of the Plan, a Participant's "Date of Termination" shall be the
date on which he both ceases to be an employee of the Trust and the Related
Companies and ceases to perform material services for the Trust and the
Related Companies, regardless of the reason for the cessation; provided that a
"Date of Termination" shall not be considered to have occurred during the
period in which the reason for the cessation of services is a leave of absence
approved by the Trust or the Related Company which was the recipient of the
Participant's services. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, a
Participant shall be considered to have a "Disability" during the period in
which he is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental
impairment, to engage in the material and substantial duties of his regular
occupation, which condition is expected to be permanent. "Retirement" of a
Participant shall mean the occurrence of a Participant's Date of Termination
after providing at least five years of service to the Trust or the Related
Companies and attaining age 60.
SECTION 3
DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT UNITS
3.1. Award of Dividend Equivalent Units. Unless determined otherwise by the
Committee, a Participant who is awarded an Option under the Plan (other than a
matching Option awarded under subsection 4.2) shall also be entitled to
receive "Dividend Equivalent Units" with respect to such Option, as follows:
(a) Annual crediting of Dividend Equivalent Units. As of the last day of
each calendar year, each Participant shall be credited with a number of
Dividend Equivalent Units equal to (i) the amount the Committee determines
to be the average dividend yield per Share for such calendar year, reduced
by the amount that the Committee determines to be the S&P 500 average
dividend yield for such year, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares
underlying the Participant's outstanding Options that are entitled to
Awards under this Section 3 during such calendar year (reduced pro rata to
reflect Shares underlying such Options that were not outstanding on the
record date with respect to each dividend payment date during such year).
(b) Additional credits to reflect dividend payments on Dividend
Equivalent Units. As of the last day of each calendar year, each
Participant shall be credited with additional Dividend Equivalent Units
equal to (i) the amount the Committee determines to be the average dividend
yield per Share for such calendar year, multiplied by (ii) the number of
Dividend Equivalent Units outstanding during such calendar year (reduced
pro rata to reflect Dividend Equivalent Units that were not outstanding on
each dividend payment date during such year).
3.2. Terms and Conditions of Dividend Equivalent Units. Unless determined
otherwise by the Committee, Dividend Equivalent Units shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Dividend Equivalent Units shall vest in accordance with the vesting
schedule applicable to the Option with respect to which the Dividend
Equivalent Unit was awarded.
(b) Each vested Dividend Equivalent Unit shall entitle the holder thereof
to a Share on the last day of the calendar year in which occurs the first
of (i) the date the Participant exercises the Option with respect to which
the Dividend Equivalent Unit was awarded, or (ii) the date such Option
expires by its terms (whether by reason of termination of employment or
otherwise); provided, however, prior to the date the Shares
3
<PAGE>
would otherwise be payable, to the extent permitted by the Committee, a
Participant may irrevocably elect to defer receipt of such Shares until the
last date of a later calendar year, but in no event later than the last day
of the calendar year in which occurs the tenth anniversary of the grant of
the underlying Option. Any such deferral election shall be made in such
form and at such times as the Committee may determine and shall be subject
to such other terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may
establish.
(c) All Dividend Equivalent Units which are not vested upon the
Participant's Date of Termination shall be forfeited.
(d) Settlement of all Dividend Equivalent Units shall be made in the form
of whole Shares. Any fractional Shares shall be settled in cash.
SECTION 4
SHARE PURCHASE PROGRAM
4.1. Purchase of Shares. The Committee may, from time to time, establish one
or more programs under which Participants will be permitted to purchase Shares
under the Plan and shall designate the Participants eligible to participate
under such Share purchase programs. The purchase price for Shares available
under such programs, and other terms and conditions of such programs, shall be
established by the Committee, provided that the purchase price may not be less
than par value.
4.2. Matching Shares and Options. Except as otherwise provided in subsection
4.1, any Share purchase program established by the Committee under this
Section may provide for the award of matching Shares or Options in the amount,
if any, determined by the Committee.
4.3. Restrictions on Shares. The Committee may impose such restrictions with
respect to Shares purchased under subsection 4.1, or matching Shares or
Options awarded pursuant to subsection 4.2, as the Committee determines to be
appropriate. Such restrictions may include, without limitation, restrictions
of the type that may be imposed with respect to Share Awards under Section 5.
4.4. Purchase Loans. In connection with the purchase of Shares under this
Section 4, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the Trust
shall, at the Participant's election, make a loan (a "Loan") to the
Participant for all or a portion of the purchase price of the Shares
purchased. The Loan may be used only for the purpose of financing the
purchase, subject to the following:
(a) Each Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note and pledge
agreement in such form as the Committee shall approve; provided, that the
note shall (i) provide full recourse to the Participant, (ii) provide for
interest at a rate to be determined by the Committee, (iii) be secured,
pursuant to a pledge agreement, by the purchased Shares, and (iv) comply
with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental agency having
jurisdiction.
(b)Each Loan shall provide for a term of no more than 10 years.
(c) All principal and interest outstanding under a Loan with respect to
any Participant will automatically become due and payable (i) 90 days after
the date the Participant terminates employment with the Trust and Related
Companies for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or Cause,
provided such termination is not following a Change in Control, (ii) 365
days after the date on which the Participant's employment with the Trust
and Related Companies terminates by reason of death, Disability or
Retirement, (iii) 180 days after the Participant's employment with the
Trust and Related Companies terminates following a Change in Control of the
Trust for reasons other than Cause, or (iv) immediately upon a sale of the
Shares which are pledged as collateral for the loan or if the Participant's
employment with the Trust and Related Companies is terminated for Cause.
(d) Each Loan shall contain such other terms, conditions and limitations
as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

SECTION 5
SHARE AWARDS
5.1. Definition. Subject to the terms of this Section, a Share Award under
the Plan is a grant of Shares to a Participant, the earning, vesting or
distribution of which is subject to one or more conditions established by the
Committee. Such conditions may relate to events (such as performance or
continued employment) occurring before or after the date the Share Award is
granted, or the date the Shares are earned by, vested in or delivered to the
Participant. If the vesting of Share Awards is subject to conditions occurring
after the date of grant, the period beginning on the date of grant of a Share
Award and ending on the vesting or forfeiture of such Shares (as applicable)
is referred to as the "Restricted Period". To the extent that the vesting of a
Share Award is contingent on performance, the performance shall be measured
over a period of not less than one year. Share Awards may provide for delivery
of the shares of Shares at the time of grant or may provide for a deferred
delivery date. A Share Award may, but need not, be made in conjunction with a
cash-based incentive compensation program maintained by the Trust and may, but
need not, be in lieu of cash otherwise awardable under such program.
5.2. Eligibility. The Committee shall designate the Participants to whom
Share Awards are to be granted and the number of Shares that are subject to
each such Award.
5.3. Terms and Conditions of Awards. Share Awards granted to Participants
under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Beginning on the date of grant (or, if later, the date of
distribution) of Shares comprising a Share Award, and including any
applicable Restricted Period, the Participant as owner of such Shares shall
have the right to vote such Shares.
(b) Payment of dividends with respect to Share Awards shall be subject to
the following:
(i) On and after the date that a Participant has a fully earned and
vested right to the Shares comprising a Share Award and the Shares have
been distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall have all
dividend rights (and other rights) of a shareholder with respect to
such Shares.
(ii) Prior to the date that a Participant has a fully earned and
vested right to the shares comprising a Share Award, the Committee, in
its sole discretion, may award Dividend Rights with respect to such
shares.
(iii) On and after the date that a Participant has a fully earned and
vested right to the Shares comprising a Share Award, but before the
Shares have been distributed to the Participant, the Participant shall
be entitled to Dividend Rights with respect to such Shares, at the time
and in the form determined by the Committee.
(iv) A "Dividend Right" with respect to shares comprising a Share
Award shall entitle the Participant, as of each dividend payment date,
to an amount equal to the dividends payable with respect to a Share
multiplied by the number of such Shares. Dividend Rights shall be
settled in cash or in Shares valued at Fair Market Value as of the date
of settlement, as determined by the Committee, shall be payable at the
time determined by the Committee and shall be subject to such other
terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
SECTION 6
OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION
6.1. Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of the date it is
adopted by the Board; provided, however, that Awards granted under the Plan
prior to its approval by shareholders will be contingent on approval of the
Plan by the Trust's shareholders. The Plan shall be unlimited in duration and,
in the event of Plan termination,
5
<PAGE>
shall remain in effect as long as any Shares awarded under it are outstanding
and not fully vested; provided, however, that no new Awards shall be made
under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Plan
is adopted by the Board.
6.2. Shares Subject to Plan. The Shares with respect to which Awards may be
made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or
currently held or subsequently acquired by the Trust as treasury shares,
including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
Subject to the provisions of subsection 6.4, the number of Shares which may be
issued with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 9,600,000 Shares
in the aggregate. Except as otherwise provided herein, any Shares subject to
an Award which for any reason expires or is terminated without issuance of
Shares (including Shares that are not issued because they are withheld to
satisfy tax withholding) shall again be available under the Plan.
6.3. Individual Limits on Awards. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall receive any Award of an Option
under the Plan to the extent that the sum of:
(a) the number of Shares subject to such Award;
(b) the number of Shares subject to all other prior Awards of Options
under the Plan during the one-year period ending on the date of the Award;
and
(c) the number of Shares subject to all other prior share options granted
to the Participant under other plans or arrangements of the Trust during
the one-year period ending on the date of the Award;
would exceed the Participant's Individual Limit under the Plan. The
determination made under the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall be
based on the Shares subject to the Awards at the time of grant, regardless of
when the Awards become exercisable. Subject to the provisions of subsection
6.4, a Participant's "Individual Limit" shall be 500,000 Shares.
6.4. Adjustments to Shares.
(a) If the Trust shall effect any subdivision or consolidation of Shares or
other capital readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares or recapitalization or other increase or reduction of
the number of Shares outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in
money, services or property, then the Committee shall equitably adjust (i) the
number of Shares available under the Plan; (ii) the number of Shares available
under any individual or other limits; (iii) the number of Shares subject to
outstanding Awards; and (iv) the per-share price under any outstanding Award
to the extent that the Participant is required to pay a purchase price per
share with respect to the Award.
(b) If the Trust is reorganized, merged or consolidated or is party to a
plan of exchange with another corporation, pursuant to which reorganization,
merger, consolidation or plan of exchange, the shareholders of the Trust
receive any shares of stock or other securities or property, or the Trust
shall distribute securities of another corporation to its shareholders, there
shall be substituted for the shares subject to outstanding Awards an
appropriate number of shares of each class of stock or amount of other
securities or property which were distributed to the shareholders of the Trust
in respect of such shares, subject to the following:
(i) If the Committee determines that the substitution described in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph would not be
fully consistent with the purposes of the Plan or the purposes of the
outstanding Awards under the Plan, the Committee may make such other
adjustments to the Awards to the extent that the Committee determines such
adjustments are consistent with the purposes of the Plan and of the
affected Awards.
(ii) All or any of the Awards may be cancelled by the Committee on or
immediately prior to the effective date of the applicable transaction, but
only if the Committee gives reasonable advance notice of the cancellation
to each affected Participant, and only if either: (A) the Participant is
permitted to exercise all Awards that will be cancelled (without regard to
whether such Awards would otherwise be exercisable) for a reasonable period
prior to the effective date of the cancellation; or (B) the Participant
receives payment or other benefits that the Committee determines to be
reasonable compensation for the value of all cancelled Awards (without
regard to whether such Awards would otherwise be vested).
6
<PAGE>
(iii) Upon the occurrence of a reorganization of the Trust or any other
event described in this paragraph (b), any successor to the Trust shall be
substituted for the Trust to the extent that the Trust and the successor
agree to such substitution.
(c) Upon (or, in the discretion of the Committee, immediately prior to) the
sale to (or exchange with) a third party unrelated to the Trust of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Trust, all Awards shall be cancelled.
If Awards are cancelled under this paragraph, then, with respect to any
affected Participant, either:
(i) the Participant shall be provided with reasonable advance notice of
the cancellation, and the Participant shall be permitted to exercise all
Awards that will be cancelled (without regard to whether such Awards would
otherwise be exercisable) for a reasonable period prior to the effective
date of the cancellation; or
(ii) the Participant shall receive payment or other benefits that the
Committee determines to be reasonable compensation for the value of all
cancelled Awards (without regard to whether such cancelled Awards would
otherwise be vested).
The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall also apply to the sale of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Trust to a related party, if the
Committee determines such application is appropriate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c), in lieu of cancellation of
outstanding Awards, the Committee and the purchaser of all or substantially
all of the Trust's assets may provide that an appropriate number of shares or
securities of the purchaser or its affiliates shall be substituted for Shares
with respect to outstanding Awards under the Plan, provided that such
substituted awards shall be comparable in value and contain terms and
conditions similar to the Awards.
(d) In determining what action, if any, is necessary or appropriate under
the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Committee shall act in a
manner that it determines to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and
of the affected Awards and, where applicable or otherwise appropriate, in a
manner that it determines to be necessary to preserve the benefits and
potential benefits of the affected Awards for the Participants and the Trust.
(e) The existence of this Plan and the Awards granted hereunder shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Trust or its shareholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or
other changes in the Trust's capital structure or its business, any merger or
consolidation of the Trust, any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stocks ahead of or affecting the Trust's Shares or the rights
thereof, the dissolution or liquidation of the Trust, any sale or transfer of
all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
(f) Except as expressly provided by the terms of this Plan, the issue by the
Trust of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, for cash or property or for labor or services, either
upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe
therefor or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Trust convertible
into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by
reason thereof, shall be made with respect to Awards then outstanding
hereunder.
(g) Awards under the Plan are subject to adjustment under this subsection
only during the period in which they are considered to be outstanding under
the Plan. For purposes of this subsection, an Award is considered
"outstanding" on any date if the Participant's ability to obtain all benefits
with respect to the Award is subject to limits imposed by the Plan (including
any limits imposed by the Agreement reflecting the Award). The determination
of whether an Award is outstanding shall be made by the Committee.
6.5. Change in Control. In the event that a Participant's employment is
terminated by the Trust or the successor to the Trust or an affiliated entity
which is his or her employer for reasons other than Cause following a Change
in Control of the Trust (as defined below), all Options and related Awards
which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable and all
other Awards shall become fully vested. For purposes of the Plan, a "Change in
Control" means the happening of any of the following:
(a) the shareholders of the Trust approve a definitive agreement to merge
the Trust into or consolidate the Trust with another entity, sell or
otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or adopt a plan
of liquidation, provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to have occurred by reason
7
<PAGE>
of a transaction, or a substantially concurrent or otherwise related series
of transactions, upon the completion of which 50% or more of the beneficial
ownership of the voting power of the Trust, the surviving corporation or
corporation directly or indirectly controlling the Trust or the surviving
corporation, as the case may be, is held by the same persons (as defined
below) (although not necessarily in the same proportion) as held the
beneficial ownership of the voting power of the Trust immediately prior to
the transaction or the substantially concurrent or otherwise related series
of transactions, except that upon the completion thereof, employees or
employee benefit plans of the Trust may be a new holder of such beneficial
ownership; provided further, that any transaction described in this
paragraph (a) with an "Affiliate" of the Trust (as defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) shall not
be treated as a Change in Control; or
(b) the "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting
power of the Trust is acquired, other than from the Trust, by any "person"
as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit or
other similar stock plan of the Trust) provided, that any purchase by
Security Capital Group Incorporated or any of its affiliates of securities
representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Trust shall
not be treated as a Change in Control; or
(c) at any time during any period of two consecutive years, individuals
who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board of Trustees
of the Trust cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof
(unless the election, or the nomination for election by the Trust's
shareholders, of each new trustee was approved by a vote of at least two-
thirds of the trustees still in office at the time of such election or
nomination who were trustees at the beginning of such period).
For purposes of this subsection, a Participant's employment shall be deemed to
be terminated by the Trust or the successor to the Trust or an affiliated
entity if the Participant terminates employment after (i) a substantial
adverse alteration in the nature of the Participant's status or
responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control, or (ii) a material reduction in the Participant's annual base salary
and target bonus, if any, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
Control. If, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities
are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to Section 6.4, and
immediately following the Change in Control the Participant becomes employed
by the entity into which the Trust merged, or the purchaser of substantially
all of the assets of the Trust, or a successor to such entity or purchaser,
the Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment for
purposes of this Section 6.5 until such time as the Participant terminates
employment with the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable.
6.6. Limit on Distribution. Distribution of Shares or other amounts under
the Plan shall be subject to the following:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Trust shall have
no liability to deliver any Shares under the Plan or make any other
distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or
distribution would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable
requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.
(b) In the case of a Participant who is subject to Section 16(a) and
16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee may, at any time, add such
conditions and limitations to any Award to such Participant, or any feature
of any such Award, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems
necessary or desirable to comply with Section 16(a) or 16(b) and the rules
and regulations thereunder or to obtain any exemption therefrom.
(c) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to
reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected
on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law
or the rules of any stock exchange.
6.7. Liability for Cash Payments. Subject to the provisions of this Section,
each Related Company shall be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan
with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are
attributable to the service rendered for that Related Company by the
Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Related Company for cash
payments shall be resolved by the Committee.
8
<PAGE>
6.8. Performance-Based Compensation. To the extent that the Committee
determines that it is necessary or desirable to conform any Awards under the
Plan with the requirements applicable to "Performance-Based Compensation", as
that term is used in Code section 162(m)(4)(C), it may, at or prior to the time
an Award is granted, take such steps and impose such restrictions with respect
to such Award as it determines to be necessary to satisfy such requirements
including, without limitation:
(a) The establishment of performance goals that must be satisfied prior
to the payment or distribution of benefits under such Awards.
(b) The submission of such Awards and performance goals to the Trust's
shareholders for approval and making the receipt of benefits under such
Awards contingent on receipt of such approval.
(c) Providing that no payment or distribution be made under such Awards
unless the Committee certifies that the goals and the applicable terms of
the Plan and Agreement reflecting the Awards have been satisfied.
To the extent that the Committee determines that the foregoing requirements
relating to Performance-Based Compensation do not apply to Awards under the
Plan because the Awards constitute Options, the Committee may, at the time the
Award is granted, conform the Awards to alternative methods of satisfying the
requirements applicable to Performance-Based Compensation.
6.9. Withholding. All Awards and other payments under the Plan are subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes, which withholding obligations may be
satisfied, with the consent of the Committee, through the surrender of Shares
which the Participant already owns or to which a Participant is otherwise
entitled under the Plan; provided, however, previously-owned Shares that have
been held by the Participant less than six months or Shares to which the
Participant is entitled under the Plan may only be used to satisfy the minimum
tax withholding required by applicable law.
6.10. Transferability. Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as
designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or, to the extent provided by the Committee, pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order (within the meaning of the Code and
applicable rules thereunder). To the extent that the Participant who receives
an Award under the Plan has the right to exercise such Award, the Award may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Committee may
permit Awards under the Plan to be transferred to or for the benefit of the
Participant's family (including, without limitation, to a trust or partnership
for the benefit of a Participant's family), subject to such limits as the
Committee may establish. In no event shall an Incentive Share Option be
transferable to the extent that such transferability would violate the
requirements applicable to such option under Code section 422.
6.11. Notices. Any notice or document required to be filed with the Committee
under the Plan will be properly filed if delivered or mailed by registered
mail, postage prepaid, to the Committee, in care of the Trust, at its principal
executive offices. The Committee may, by advance written notice to affected
persons, revise such notice procedure from time to time. Any notice required
under the Plan (other than a notice of election) may be waived by the person
entitled to notice.
6.12. Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each
election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person
entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification or
revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such times,
in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require.
6.13. Agreement With Trust. At the time of an Award to a Participant under
the Plan, the Committee may require a Participant to enter into an agreement
with the Trust (the "Agreement") in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing
to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, prescribe.
9
<PAGE>
6.14. Limitation of Implied Rights.
(a) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of the
Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the
Trust or any Related Company whatsoever, including, without limitation, any
specific funds, assets, or other property which the Trust or any Related
Company, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a
liability under the Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right
to the amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of
the Trust and any Related Company. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
constitute a guarantee by the Trust or any Related Company that the assets
of such companies shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.
(b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection
as a Participant will not give any employee the right to be retained in the
employ of the Trust or any Related Company, nor any right or claim to any
benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued
under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no
Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a
shareholder of the Trust prior to the date on which he fulfills all service
requirements and other conditions for receipt of such rights and Shares are
registered in his name.
6.15. Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting
on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the
proper party or parties.
6.16. Action by Trust or Related Company. Any action required or permitted to
be taken by the Trust or any Related Company shall be by resolution of its
board of trustees or directors, as applicable, or by action of one or more
members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly
authorized to act for the board or (except to the extent prohibited by
applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer
of the Trust.
6.17. Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender shall
include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and
the plural shall include the singular.
6.18. Applicable Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to
choice of law principles.
SECTION 7
COMMITTEE
7.1. Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the Plan shall be vested in a committee (the "Committee") in
accordance with this Section 7.
7.2. Selection of Committee. So long as the Trust is subject to section 16 of
the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be selected by the Board and shall
consist of not fewer than two members of the Board or such greater number as
may be required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 issued under the Exchange Act,
none of whom shall be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.
7.3. Powers of Committee. The authority to manage and control the operation
and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, subject to the
following:
(a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the
authority and discretion to select individuals to receive Awards, to
determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards
and the number of Shares covered by the Awards, to establish the terms,
conditions, performance criteria, restrictions, and other provisions of
such Awards, and to cancel or suspend Awards. In making such Award
determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of services
rendered by the respective employee, the individual's present and potential
contribution to the Trust's success and such other factors as the Committee
deems relevant.
10
<PAGE>
(b) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the
authority and discretion to determine the extent to which Awards under the
Plan will be structured to conform to the requirements applicable to
Performance-Based Compensation, and to take such action, establish such
procedures, and impose such restrictions at the time such Awards are
granted as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to
conform to such requirements.
(c) The Committee will have the authority and discretion to interpret the
Plan, to establish, amend and rescind any rules and regulations relating to
the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of any agreements made
pursuant to the Plan and to make all other determinations that may be
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
(d) Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made
by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, where the
Committee is authorized to make a determination with respect to any Award,
such determination shall be made at the time the Award is made, except that
the Committee may reserve the authority to have such determination made by
the Committee in the future (but only if such reservation is made at the
time the Award is granted and is expressly stated in the Agreement
reflecting the Award).
7.4. Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable
law or the rules of any stock exchange or NASDAQ (if appropriate), the
Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to
any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its
responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it. Any such
allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.
7.5. Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Trust and Related
Companies shall furnish the Committee such data and information as may be
required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Trust and Related
Companies as to an employee's or Participant's employment (or other provision
of services), termination of employment (or cessation of the provision of
services), leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive
on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other
persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such
evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out
the terms of the Plan.
7.6. Liability and Indemnification of Committee. No member or authorized
delegate of the Committee shall be liable to any person for any action taken or
omitted in connection with the administration of the Plan unless attributable
to his own fraud or willful misconduct; nor shall the Trust or any Related
Company be liable to any person for any such action unless attributable to
fraud or willful misconduct on the part of a trustee or employee of the Trust
or Related Company. The Committee, the individual members thereof, and persons
acting as the authorized delegates of the Committee under the Plan, shall be
indemnified by the Trust against any and all liabilities, losses, costs and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) of whatsoever kind and nature
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Committee or its
members or authorized delegates by reason of the performance of a Committee
function if the Committee or its members or authorized delegates did not act
dishonestly or in willful violation of the law or regulation under which such
liability, loss, cost or expense arises. This indemnification shall not
duplicate but may supplement any coverage available under any applicable
insurance.
SECTION 8
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that,
subject to subsection 6.4 (relating to certain adjustments to shares), no
amendment or termination may materially adversely affect the rights of any
Participant or beneficiary under any Award made under the Plan prior to the
date such amendment is adopted by the Board.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article Eighth of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provides as
follows with respect to indemnification of its directors and officers:
"The Corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law in effect from time to time, to obligate itself to indemnify
and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition
of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former director
or officer of the Corporation or (b) any individual who, while a director
or officer of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves
or has served as a director, officer, partner or trustee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
any other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to which such
person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his
or her status as a present or former director or officer of the
Corporation. The Corporation shall have the power, with the approval of the
Board of Directors, to provide such indemnification and advancement of
expenses to a person who served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of
the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent
of the Corporation or a predecessor of the Corporation."
Article Ninth of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provides as
follows with respect to limitation of liability of it directors and officers:
"To the maximum extent that Maryland law in effect from time to time
permits limitation of the liability of directors and officers of a Maryland
corporation, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to
the Corporation or its stockholders for money damages. Neither the
amendment nor repeal of this Article NINTH, nor the adoption or amendment
of any other provision of the charter or Bylaws of the Corporation
inconsistent with this Article NINTH, shall apply to or affect in any
respect the applicability of the preceding sentence with respect to any act
or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or
adoption."
Article XIII of the Registrant's bylaws provides as follows with respect to
indemnification of its directors and officers and advances for expenses:
"To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to
time, the Corporation shall indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary
determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or
reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a
proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former director or
officer of the Corporation and who is made a party to the proceeding by
reason of his service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a
director of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves
or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer,
partner or trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made a party to the
proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The
Corporation may, with the approval of its Board of Directors, provide such
indemnification and advance for expenses to a person who served a
predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities described in (a) or
(b) above and to any employee or agent of the Corporation or a predecessor
of the Corporation."
"Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or
amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws or charter of the
Corporation inconsistent with this Article, shall apply to or affect in any

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each
of its officers and Directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses
and liabilities of such officer or Director, arising out of any lawsuit or
claim against such officer or Director due to the fact that he was or is
serving as an officer or Director, except for such liabilities and expenses
(a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating
to claims under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (c)
relating to judicially determined criminal violations.
ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
(a) Refer to Index to Exhibits.
(b) Refer to Index to Financial Statements included as part of the
Prospectus.
(c) Refer to Annex II and Annex III to the Prospectus.
ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement; (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement; (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of any
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities being offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any
public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a
prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c),
the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to
reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the
information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant
to the paragraph immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an
offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an
amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such
amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or
other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through
the date of responding to the request.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-
effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company
being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in
the registration statement when it became effective.

SECOND AMENDMENT
TO
MERGER AND ISSUANCE AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO MERGER AND ISSUANCE AGREEMENT (this
"Amendment") is made and entered into as of June 26, 1997, by and between
Security Capital Industrial Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust
("SCI"), and Security Capital Group Incorporated, a Maryland corporation
("Security Capital").
WHEREAS, SCI and Security Capital are parties to that certain Merger
and Issuance Agreement, dated as of March 24, 1997, as amended on April 21, 1997
(as so amended, the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other matters,
SCI and Security Capital agreed to merge subsidiaries of Security Capital
performing REIT management and property management services with respect to SCI
with and into a subsidiary of SCI in exchange for shares of common stock of SCI;
and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement
to clarify certain ambiguities and to clarify the rights and obligations of the
parties with respect to the matters set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Section 2.3 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:
SECTION 2.3 THE RIGHTS OFFERING. SCI shall distribute as a dividend
to each holder of record of SCI Common Shares, as of the close of business
on the SCI Shareholders' Approval Record Date, rights to purchase SCI
Common Shares entitling such holder to subscribe for and purchase SCI
Common Shares during the period commencing on the date the SCI Prospectus
is mailed to such holders and expiring on the close of business on the date
of the Merger Closing (the "Rights Offering Expiration Date). The issuance
of such rights and the issuance of SCI Common Shares upon exercise of such
rights shall be registered under the SCI Registration Statement and SCI
shall use its best efforts to cause the rights to be tradeable on the
Exchange on which the SCI Common Shares are listed. Each holder of SCI
Common Shares shall receive one (1) right for every one (1) SCI Common
Share held of record by such holder as of the SCI Shareholders' Approval
Record Date. The exercise price per SCI Common Share for such rights shall
be equal to the amount determined by the SCI Board (or a duly authorized
committee thereof); provided, that in the event that the Fair Market Value
of an SCI Common Share is more than $24.75, then the exercise price per
SCI Common Share shall be $24.75; and provided, further, that the
<PAGE>
exercise price per SCI Common Share shall in no event (other than as
described in the preceding proviso) be less than 94% of the Fair Market
Value of an SCI Common Share. SCI shall make available for issuance in the
rights offering, up to a maximum number of SCI Common Shares equal to the
difference between (X) the amount determined by dividing (A) the number of
SCI Common Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 by (B) the percentage of
all outstanding SCI Common Shares owned by SCG on the SCI Shareholders'
Approval Record Date (the amount determined pursuant to this clause (X)
being the "Rights Offering Amount") and (Y) the number of SCI Common Shares
issuable to SCG pursuant to Section 2.1. Each holder shall be entitled to
acquire one (1) SCI Common Share by paying the Fair Market Value and
surrendering that number of rights (rounded down to the nearest whole
right) equal to the amount determined by dividing the aggregate number of
SCI Common Shares outstanding on the SCI Shareholders' Approval Record Date
by the Rights Offering Amount. SCG agrees that it shall not exercise or
sell or otherwise transfer any rights issued to it pursuant to this Section
2.3 and SCG shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any rights. SCI shall
not accept subscriptions pursuant to such rights unless and until all of
the conditions set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied or waived
and the mergers described in Section 2.1 have been consummated. Any SCI
Common Shares that are not subscribed for by shareholders may be offered to
other shareholders pursuant to an oversubscription privilege and, if not
fully subscribed for by shareholders, may be sold to third parties. The
REIT Manager shall, at its own expense, engage an affiliate of SCG to
assist SCI in selling SCI Common Shares to third parties.
Section 2. Exhibit I to the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Section 3. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
Section 4. Except as otherwise specifically modified hereby, the Merger
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Re: Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, and Warrants to
acquire Class B Common Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Security Capital Group Incorporated, a Maryland
corporation ("Security Capital"), in connection with the public distribution of
warrants ("Warrants"), each to acquire one share of Security Capital's Class B
Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Class B Shares"), in connection
with the transactions described in Security Capital's registration statements on
Form S-4 (File Nos. 333-26259, 333-26263 and 333-25267) (the "Registration
Statements"). The Warrants will be issued under a warrant agreement (the
"Warrant Agreement") between Security Capital and The First National Bank of
Boston, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent").
Based on the assumptions described herein, it is our opinion that (i) the
Warrants were duly authorized for issuance and, upon issuance and delivery as
described in the Registration Statements, will be fully paid and non-assessable,
(ii) the Class B Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, when issued
pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement and the related Warrants, will be
fully paid and non-assessable and (iii) the Warrants will be binding obligations
of Security Capital enforceable against Security Capital in accordance with
their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity.
To the extent that the obligations of Security Capital under the Warrant
Agreement may be dependent upon such matters, we assume for purposes of this
opinion that the Warrant Agent will be duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the
Warrant Agent will be duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by
the Warrant Agreement; that the Warrant Agreement will be duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Warrant Agent and will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Warrant Agent enforceable against the Warrant
Agent in accordance with its terms; that the Warrant
<PAGE>
Security Capital Group Incorporated

Page 2
Agent will be in compliance, generally with respect to acting as a Warrant Agent
under the Warrant Agreement, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that
the Warrant Agent will have the requisite organizational and legal power and
authority to perform its obligations under the Warrant Agreement.
Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by Maryland law,
we have relied, with your approval, upon the opinion of the law firm of Ballard
Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statements and to the reference to us under each of the captions "Legal
Matters."
We are admitted to practice law in the State of Illinois and we express no
opinions as to matters under or involving any laws other than the laws of the
State of Illinois and the federal laws of the United States of America.

Re: Registration Statements on Form S-4
-----------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as Maryland counsel to Security Capital Group Incorporated,
a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with certain matters of
Maryland law arising out of the public distribution of warrants ("Warrants"),
each to acquire one share of the Company's Class B Common Stock, $.01 par value
per share (the "Shares"), in connection with the transactions described in the
registration statements on Form S-4, File Nos. 333-26259, 333-26263 and
333-25267 (the "Registration Statements"), filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The Warrants will be issued under a
warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") between the Company and The First
National Bank of Boston, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"). Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Registration Statements.
In connection with our representation of the Company, and as a basis for
the opinion hereinafter set forth, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following
documents (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Documents"):
1. Each Registration Statement and related form of prospectus included
therein in the form in which they were transmitted to the Commission under the
1933 Act;

2. The charter of the Company (the "Charter"), certified as of a recent
date by the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the

3. The Bylaws of the Company, certified as of a recent date by its
Secretary;
4. Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the

5. A certificate of the SDAT as to the good standing of the Company, dated
as of a recent date;
6. A certificate executed by the Secretary of the Company, dated as of a
recent date; and
7. Such other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate to express the opinion set forth in this letter, subject to the
assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.
In expressing the opinion set forth below, we have assumed, and so far as
is known to us there are no facts inconsistent with, the following:
1. Each of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the
Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to
which such party is a signatory, and such party's obligations set forth therein
are legal, valid and binding.
2. Each individual executing any of the Documents on behalf of a party
(other than the Company) is duly authorized to do so.
3. Each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of
such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.

such Documents are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or
on our behalf are true and complete. All statements and information contained in
the Documents are true and complete. There are no modifications of or amendments
to the Documents, and there has been no waiver of any of the provisions of the

violation of any restriction or limitation contained in the Charter.
The phrase "known to us" is limited to the actual knowledge, without
independent inquiry, of the lawyers at our firm who have performed legal
services in connection with the issuance of this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and
qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under and by
virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with the
SDAT.
2. The Warrants have been duly authorized and, when and if delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when and if delivered against
payment therefor in accordance with the Resolutions and any other resolutions of
the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors
authorizing their issuance, the Shares will be (assuming that the sum of (i) all
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date hereof, (ii) all
shares of Common Stock issued between the date hereof and the date on which the
Shares are issued (not including the Shares) and (iii) the Shares, will not
exceed the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to

Re: Certain Federal income tax consequences of the Merger and Issuance
Agreement
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security
Capital") and Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI") in connection with (i)
the merger (the "REIT Manager Merger") of Security Capital Industrial
Incorporated, a subsidiary of Security Capital, with and into Security Capital
Industrial Management Incorporated ("Newco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI,
and the merger (the "Property Manager Merger") of SCI Client Services
Incorporated, a subsidiary of Security Capital, with and into Newco pursuant to
section 2.1 of the Merger and Issuance Agreement dated as of March 24, 1997, as
amended, (the "Merger and Issuance Agreement") by and between Security Capital
and SCI (the REIT Manager Merger and Property Manager Merger are herein referred
to collectively as the "Mergers"), and (ii) the issuance by Security Capital of
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Security Capital Class B common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, pursuant to section 2.2 of the Merger and
Issuance Agreement. You have requested that we provide an opinion regarding the
qualification of each of the Mergers as a tax-free reorganization under section
368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the
accuracy of the tax disclosures in the proxy statement and prospectus (the
"Proxy Statement and Prospectus") included as part of the registration statement
(the "Registration Statement") on Form S-4, file no. 333-26259.
In providing this opinion, we have relied on (i) the description of the
transaction as set forth in the Merger and Issuance Agreement and the exhibits
thereto, (ii) the description of the transaction as set forth in the Proxy
Statement and Prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement and the
exhibits thereto, (iii) representations provided by Security Capital and SCI
concerning certain facts underlying and relating to the Merger, (iv)
representations provided by SCI concerning certain facts underlying and relating
to its qualification as a "real estate investment trust", (v) representations
provided by Security
<PAGE>

___________ __, 1997
Capital concerning certain facts underlying and relating to the composition of
its assets and (vi) a private letter ruling (the "Letter Ruling") from the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") stating certain legal conclusions regarding the
issuance of the Warrants. In addition, we have relied upon the representations
made to the IRS in connection with the Letter Ruling and have assumed that
Security Capital will comply with any undertakings made to the IRS in connection
with the Letter Ruling.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
(i) the summaries of Federal income tax consequences set forth in the
Proxy Statement and Prospectus under the headings "Summary -- Federal
Income Tax Consequences" and "The Transaction -- Federal Income Tax
Consequences" are accurate in all material respects as to matters of law
and legal conclusions,
(ii) the summary of Federal income tax consequences set forth in the
prospectus of Security Capital relating to the Warrants (the "Warrant
Prospectus") attached to the Proxy Statement and Prospectus as Appendix A
under the heading of "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" is accurate
in all material respects as to matters of law and legal conclusions, and
(iii) the summary of Federal income tax consequences set forth in the
Warrant Prospectus under the heading "Certain United States Federal Tax
Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders of Class B Shares" is accurate in all
material respects as to matters of law and legal conclusions.
This opinion is based on current provisions of the Code, the Treasury
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the interpretation of the Code and such
regulations by the courts and the IRS, as they are in effect and exist at the
date of this opinion. It should be noted that statutes, regulations, judicial
decisions and administrative interpretations are subject to change at any time
and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect. A material change that is
made after the date hereof in any of the foregoing bases for our opinion could
adversely affect our conclusion.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to all references to this firm under the headings
"Summary -- Federal Income Tax Consequences", "Risk Factors -- Taxability of
Warrant Issuance", "The Transaction -- Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the
Proxy Statement and Prospectus and "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" and
"Certain United States Federal Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders of Class
B Shares" in the Warrant Prospectus.
