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"), valued at $81,870,626, 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 issuance (the "Warrant Issuance") by
Security Capital of $101,029,642 of warrants (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 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; (iii) the
approval of an amendment to SCI's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as
amended (the "Declaration of Trust"), necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "Transaction"); and (iv) 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
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"). 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, at or below the price at which Security
Capital will receive Common Shares in the Merger. 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 10 OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS FOR A
DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN EVALUATING THE
TRANSACTION.

EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE

REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Proxy Statement and Prospectus that are not

looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about the industry and markets in which SCI and Security Capital
operate, 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. Neither SCI nor Security Capital undertakes any obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise. 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.

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 (3) to
the "SCI Historical and Pro Forma Summary Financial Data" included herein.
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained herein regarding SCI assumes

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 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(R). SCI distinguishes itself from its
competition by being the only entity that combines all of the following:
1. A national 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 national scope and expertise with
strong local presence; and
4. Over 270 professionals in 31 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 National Operating
System(R) comprised of the Market Services Group, the National Services Group
and the National Development Group that utilizes SCI's national network of
distribution space to provide an exceptional level of customer service,
including development on a national, 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 7 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 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 necessary to
consummate the Transaction; 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 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 April 25, 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
earnings growth. 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.
The REIT Manager and Property Manager are each owned by Security Capital,
which owned approximately 44% of SCI's Common Shares as of April 25, 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 270 professionals and 128 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 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI paid the REIT Manager fees totalling
approximately $21.5 million, $14.2 million and $8.7 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 1997, the Property Manager managed approximately 92.7% 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 1996, 1995
and 1994, SCI paid the Property Manager aggregate fees of approximately $10.1
million, $4.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for property management
and leasing commissions. Additionally, during 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI
reimbursed the Property Manager for maintenance recovery expenditures of $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 reflects a multiple of
6.5 times the net change in SCI's adjusted 1997 funds from operations
calculated assuming that the Transaction occurred as of January 1, 1997. The
forecast also accounts for the stabilization of pre-stabilized operating assets
and the stabilization of assets that are under development or in lease up. 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 cash flow. At February 28, 1997, SCI had $285.3
million of prestabilized assets and $270.2 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, assuming that the
market price of the Common Shares is within the range described below.
. The number of Common Shares to be issued to Security Capital will be
based on the average market price of the Common Shares over the five-day
period prior to the SCI Record Date, subject to such average being not
more than $24.75 or less than $19.75. If the average market price of the
Common Shares falls outside of the range, then the number of Common
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 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 (based on the number of Common Shares
expected to be outstanding on the SCI Record Date). 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 expected to be the same price at which Common Shares will be
issued to Security Capital in the Merger if the average market price of
the Common Shares remains within the range described above. If the
average market price of the Common Shares is below the minimum price of
the range, the Concurrent Rights Offering will be conducted at such
average market price, and if the average market price of the Common
Shares is above the maximum price of the range, the Concurrent Rights
Offering will be conducted at such maximum price. 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 permit holders of Common
Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Units to benefit from the
Transaction as equity holders in Security Capital, 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 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 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 anti-dilution provisions. The issuance of the Warrants
by Security Capital is contingent upon closing of the Merger and the
Concurrent Rights Offering.

<PAGE>
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.
BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION
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 earnings growth 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.
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 paid and 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."

<PAGE>
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS
Certain officers of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager will become
employees of SCI and may receive grants of options to acquire Common Shares or
restricted stock awards under SCI's proposed 1997 Incentive Plan. 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 paid and 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
The Merger has been structured to constitute a tax-free reorganization within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and, as a condition to closing, SCI will receive an opinion from
Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain representations of Security Capital and
SCI, to this effect. Accordingly, SCI will not recognize income, gain or loss
on the Merger. In addition, SCI will receive an opinion from Mayer, Brown &
Platt to the effect that, 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."
SCI believes that a holder of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or
Units receiving Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance should have ordinary
taxable income equal to the value of the Warrants on the Warrant Issuance Date
(as defined below). Although not free from doubt, the receipt of the Warrants
by tax-exempt holders should 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 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 Share Prices and Per Share Dividends."
Security Capital has filed a registration statement with the Commission
relating to an initial public offering of the Class B Shares and intends to
apply for listing of the Class B Shares on the NYSE. No assurances can be given
that such initial public offering will be consummated or that a market for the
Class B Shares will develop. Security Capital intends to apply for listing of
the Warrants (and the Class B Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) on the
NYSE. However, no assurance can be given that such application will be accepted
or that, if accepted, a market for the Warrants will develop. The Warrants and
the Class B Shares are not currently traded on any established public trading
market and no such market may ever develop.

(3) Funds from operations is defined as net earnings computed in accordance

of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization. Management
believes that an understanding of funds from operations will enhance the
reader's comprehension of SCI's results of operations and cash flows
presented in the financial statements and other data in this document. In
January 1995, SCI changed to a more conservative policy of expensing the
amortization of loan costs in determining funds from operations. For
comparability, funds from operations has been restated to give effect to
this policy as if it had been in effect since January 1, 1992. Funds from
operations should not be construed as a substitute for "net earnings" in
evaluating operating results or as a substitute for "cash flow" in
evaluating liquidity and the funds from operations measure presented by SCI
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.

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. 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. 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 paid and 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 153,082, 3,016 and 22,704 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 465,663 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.
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
As of April 25, 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 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 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
10
<PAGE>
Transaction, Security Capital's ownership could increase from approximately
44% to approximately %, if no other shareholders subscribe for Common Shares
issuable in the Concurrent Rights Offering, and would remain at approximately
44% if all other shareholders subscribe for the full amount of Common Shares
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 believes that a holder of Common Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or
Units receiving Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance should have ordinary
taxable income equal to the value of the Warrants on the Warrant Issuance
Date. Although not free from doubt, the receipt of Warrants by tax-exempt
holders should 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 incur the operating and related costs for the professionals (currently
270 professionals) and property level and support personnel (currently 128
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
Security Capital intends to apply for listing of the Class B Shares and the
Warrants (including the Class B Shares issuable upon exercise thereof) on the
NYSE, although no assurance can be given that such application, if made, will
be accepted or, if accepted, that a 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.
12
<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.
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,
13
<PAGE>
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, 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 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 accountant
on the procedures applied in connection with 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.
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 adviser.
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.
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
14
<PAGE>
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.
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% (not to
exceed market) 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
15
<PAGE>
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 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.
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
16
<PAGE>
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.
Based primarily on these reasons, 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
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 (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 after adjusting for growth expectations and business
objectives for each company, (ii) comparison with ten transactions in which
REITs valued their external management operations in the process of becoming
internally managed and (iii) comparison with 16 publicly traded management
companies for which an estimated net operating income multiple could be
calculated. 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.
The 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 adjusted 1997 funds from operations forecast
calculated assuming that the Transaction occurred as of January 1, 1997. The
forecast also accounts for 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 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 material factors:
(i) Security Capital's stated objective of maximizing shareholder value
for the shareholders of SCI (and in turn, its own investment in 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.
(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 forecast 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 multiple on
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.
(iv) The estimated financial impact of the proposed Transaction on SCI,
having reviewed the historical performance of SCI, Security Capital's
forecasts assuming no Transaction and Security Capital's forecasts assuming
the Transaction is consummated.
(v) The impact of the Transaction on SCI's projected funds from
operations and SCI's ability to continue to make cash distributions to
shareholders at the current level.
18
<PAGE>
(vi) The contributions of the REIT Manager since 1991 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.
(vii) 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.
(viii) The yield that SCI could expect to earn on its investment on both
a cash basis and by dividing the purchase price paid by 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.
(ix) 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.
(x) 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.
(xi) 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 Warrant Issuance, see "--Federal
Income Tax Consequences--The Warrant Issuance."
(xii) The tax, accounting and legal issues relating to, and disclosure
requirements for, the Transaction.
(xiii) 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.
(xiv) The current compensation levels of REIT and property management
personnel, compensation trends and projected compensation trends following
the Transaction.
(xv) 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.
(xvi) 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.
19
<PAGE>
(xvii) 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.
(xviii) 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.
(xix) 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.
(xx) 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 paid and
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.
(xxi) 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 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. 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.
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.
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
20
<PAGE>
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
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.
The following is a summary of certain of the analyses used 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
21
<PAGE>
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.
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. Goldman Sachs compared the funds from operations per share of SCI
assuming alternately 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
22
<PAGE>
considering the analyses 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 and paid to 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.
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 $100 million of 7.81%
Medium-Term Notes-Series A, due 2015, in February 1997, (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 $274.5 million of Common Shares, in October 1994. In addition,
Goldman Sachs is a placement agent under SCI's medium-term note program.
Goldman Sachs has also provided a fairness opinion to Security Capital in
August 1994 in connection with Security Capital's merger with an affiliate. In
addition, it is anticipated that 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.
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
23
<PAGE>
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 March 31, 1997, and assuming a price of $ per Class B Share, 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 on the same terms as those
being issued to Security Capital in the Merger. The price at which Common
Shares are being offered in the Concurrent Rights Offering will be based upon
the five-day trailing average closing price of Common Shares on 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. The following discussion
is based upon the current provisions of the Code, its legislative history,
administrative
24
<PAGE>
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 "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
25
<PAGE>
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.
The Warrant Issuance
Receipt of Warrants. SCI believes that a holder of Common Shares, Series B
Preferred Shares or Units should be treated as having 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.
Security Capital and SCI each intend to report the Warrant Issuance in a
manner consistent with this treatment. Accordingly, a holder's tax basis in
the Warrants received will equal the fair market value of the Warrants
received on the Warrant Issuance Date. 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."
Although not free from doubt, the receipt by a tax-exempt holder of Common
Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Units of the Warrants pursuant to the
Warrant Issuance should 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.
26
<PAGE>
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 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.

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 at the
end of the year and will be based on several factors, including individual
performance and SCI's performance and other relevant factors. 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 are expected to 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 the officers and
employees may be granted options to purchase Common Shares. Such persons may
also be granted the right to purchase Common Shares under the 1997 Incentive
Plan; SCI will loan such officers up to 95% of the purchase price for any
Common Shares so purchased on a full recourse basis. See "Long-Term Incentive
Plan." Additionally, during 1997 such persons may also be granted options to
acquire Class A Shares of Security Capital.
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 the
REIT Manager or Property Manager.

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 will be
based upon the average closing price of the Common Shares for the five trading
days ending on the day prior to 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 falls outside of the range, then the number of Common Shares issuable to
Security Capital will be 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 is 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
Annex I to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and is incorporated herein by

Certain Covenants and Agreements. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SCI has

the Transaction; (v) in the case of Security Capital, use its best efforts 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

of the party seeking to issue such release or public statement, prior review
and approval would prevent the timely dissemination of such release or public
statement in violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or policy of a
national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system; (viii) in the
case of Security Capital, vote all Common Shares owned by it in favor of
approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction, provided,

Termination. The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to 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
31
<PAGE>
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, either fails to recommend to SCI shareholders the approval of the
Merger Agreement and the Transaction or withdraws, modifies or amends such
recommendation; and (v) unilaterally by SCI if Security Capital, through the
Security Capital Board, either fails to recommend to Security Capital
shareholders the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Transaction or
withdraws, modifies or amends such recommendation.
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
32
<PAGE>
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 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.
33
<PAGE>
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.
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% (not to exceed market), 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
34
<PAGE>
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 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 1996, the REIT
Manager earned REIT Management fees totalling $21.5 million.
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 March 31, 1997, the Property
Manager was providing property management services in 28 target market cities
and was actively managing 76.7 million square feet, 92.7% of SCI's operating
portfolio of 82.7 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 1996, SCI paid property management fees and leasing
commissions of $10.1 million to the Property Manager, and reimbursed the
Property Manager for maintenance recovery expenditures collected from SCI's
customers of $1.7 million.
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
35
<PAGE>
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.
RESTRICTIONS ON SALES BY AFFILIATES
The Warrants to be issued in the Transaction will have been 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 under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.
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

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.
36
<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.

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). The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Trustees will administer the 1997 Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the
1997 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determines which employees or
other individuals providing services to SCI 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 dividends paid during such year with respect to a
Common Share that are 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, divided by (iii) the fair market value of a Common Share at the end of
the year. 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, it is expected
that the Named Executive Officers and certain other officers and employees 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 amount of options to be granted to each officer and employee will be
determined prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The options will
become exercisable 25% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and an
additional 25% on
38
<PAGE>
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 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 intends to permit
the Named Executive Officers and certain other officers and employees to
purchase up to a total 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 equivalent dividend
units will be issued with respect to such matching options. The share purchases
are expected to provide for a 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 would 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) 60 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) 90 days following SCI's termination of the participant's employment
for any reason other than cause or (iv) 180 days following the participant's
termination of employment with SCI by reason of death, disability, retirement
or following a change in control.
New Plan Benefits
The following table shows the benefits that are expected to be received by

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 April 25, 1997, there were 97,755,518 Common Shares
outstanding and SCI had approximately 1,100 record holders. As of April 25,
1997, Security Capital and SCI's trustees and executive officers beneficially
owned an aggregate of 43,471,029 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
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 approval of a majority of the votes cast at the 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
40
<PAGE>
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.
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
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.
41
<PAGE>
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 11
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 47
development professionals have substantial development and redevelopment
experience, as described in "--Directors, Trustees and Officers of SCI and the
REIT Manager" below. As of February 28, 1997, the REIT Manager was developing
7.3 million square feet of distribution space for SCI, with a total budgeted
cost of $270.2 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 acquisitions becomes less favorable. The REIT Manager has commenced
development on behalf of SCI of 62 master-planned parks in 29 target market
cities. As importantly, as of February 28, 1997, SCI owned 1,276 acres of
additional land and had fixed price options and rights of first refusal to
acquire 515.2 acres and 36.9 acres, respectively, which in the aggregate will
permit the development of approximately 31.8 million square feet of additional
distribution space in 29 target cities. Also, as of February 28, 1997, SCI had
an additional 610.8 acres under letter of intent or contingent contract,
subject to completion of due diligence, which will permit the development of
approximately 10.0 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
42
<PAGE>
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.
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
53
<PAGE>
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 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
54
<PAGE>
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.
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
55
<PAGE>
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.
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
56
<PAGE>
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 will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and accordingly, goodwill will be recorded to reflect the excess of
the purchase price over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets
and liabilities acquired. 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
December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the Merger had been completed as of
that date. The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 has 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 December 31, 1996 with a total budgeted completion cost of
$220.9 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 statement 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 which is incorporated herein by reference. In
management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.

set forth on Form 10-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Reflects the historical cost of fixed assets (primarily computer
equipment and software) being acquired from the REIT Manager and the Property
Manager as of December 31, 1996. Assets and liabilities, consisting primarily
of intercompany and related accounts, which are not being acquired in the
Merger have not been reflected as they will have no impact on the financial
position of SCI.
(c) Reflects the historical operating assets and liabilities of the REIT
Manager and the Property Manager for which Security Capital will reimburse
SCI, as more fully discussed in note (f).
(d) Reflects (i) the adjustments to Common Shares and additional paid-in
capital to record the issuance of Common Shares in exchange for the common
stock of the REIT Manager and the Property Manager, and (ii) the deduction

(e) Reflects the excess of the Merger purchase price over the fair value of
the tangible assets and liabilities acquired ("Goodwill"). Historical net book
value of the tangible assets and liabilities acquired approximates their fair
value. The net identifiable assets acquired (after consideration of the
Security Capital reimbursement noted in note (f) below) consist of the
historical net book value of the fixed assets (primarily computer equipment
and software). Goodwill will be amortized over 20 years using the straight-
line method. Goodwill is calculated as follows:

amount due to SCI from Security Capital as reimbursement for the net
historical operating liabilities (as discussed in note (c)) acquired from the
REIT Manager and the Property Manager as of December 31, 1996.
(g) Reflects SCI's historical statement of operations for the year ended

of properties previously included in SCI's 8-K filed August 20, 1996.
(Acquisitions subsequent to this date have not exceeded the significance level
that would necessitate the filing of an updated 8-K.) The total historical
acquisition adjustment reflects the period from January 1, 1996 to the date of
acquisition. Results of operations after the date of acquisition are reflected
in SCI's historical operating results. Historical acquisition revenues and
certain expenses exclude amounts which would not be comparable to the proposed
future operations of the properties such as certain interest expense, interest
income, income taxes and depreciation.

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
life.

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

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 1996 would not differ materially from the actual costs
charged to the REIT Manager and Property Manager by Security Capital during
1996 and therefore no pro forma adjustment has been reflected.
(t) Represents the estimated incremental increase to minority interest share
in net earnings resulting from the Merger.
(u) 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
into a qualified REIT Subsidiary which under federal income tax laws would not
be subject to income taxes.
(v) 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.
(w) 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 and depreciation and amortization.
Management believes that an understanding of funds from operations will
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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of
other REITs. Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities on
a pro forma basis after giving effect to all pro forma adjustments discussed
throughout these pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are as
follows for the year ended December 31, 1996:

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 shares 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.
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 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.
Application will be made for listing of the Class B Shares and the Warrants on
the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbols " ", and " ",
respectively, although no assurance can be given that such application will be
granted. 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. 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.
.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 March 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 March 31, 1997). As of April 25, 1997, Security Capital owned
approximately 36% of PTR, 44% of SCI, 51% of ATLANTIC, 37% of Security Capital
USREALTY and 62% of Homestead 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
March 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 $7.8 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 Trust ("PACIFIC RETAIL"), which had a
collective equity market capitalization of approximately $3.8 billion as of
March 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."
3
<PAGE>
Security Capital has several new business initiatives which are in varying
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.
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.
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 $54,608,549 of
ATLANTIC's shares of common stock, $75,838,457 of PTR's common shares of
beneficial interest and $81,870,626 of SCI's common shares of beneficial
interest. The number of shares of each entity issuable to Security Capital will
depend on the value of such shares on the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to vote at the meetings of shareholders to be held to
consider the respective Mergers, subject to a maximum and minimum number of
shares being issued by each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. 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 is
expected to be the same 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 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."

<PAGE>
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 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
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due June 30, 2014 (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-
year period ended December 31, 1996, 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 10.99% 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.
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 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.
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; W. Joseph Houlihan; Anthony R. Manno, Jr.; Caroline S.
McBride; Daniel F. Miranda; Mary Lou Rogers; and Paul E. Szurek. Security
Capital has experienced individuals who manage its operating companies,
including R. Scot Sellers and Patrick R. Whelan, Managing Directors 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. Senior executives have significant beneficial ownership in
Security Capital which, combined with Security Capital's incentive compensation
programs, enhances Security Capital's ability to retain these persons. 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 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
7
<PAGE>
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
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 December 31, 1996,
Security Capital had approximately $1.2 billion of consolidated outstanding
long-term indebtedness (of which $257 million represented indebtedness of
Security Capital's consolidated operating companies) and $262 million of
consolidated outstanding short-term indebtedness (of which $228 million
represented indebtedness of Security Capital's consolidated operating
companies). Of such long-term indebtedness, approximately $982 million
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") (including $42 million of
accrued interest on 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 its net asset value per Class A Share, which is the price at which
Class A Shares have been sold in the past. If the Convertible Debentures were
converted, the outstanding long-term indebtedness would be reduced to
approximately $257 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, 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 $22 million as of April 25, 1997. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Investing and Financing Activities--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
8
<PAGE>
Class B Shares), may have the effect of delaying 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."
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 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 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.
9
<PAGE>
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 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.
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 an exemption set forth
in the rules promulgated thereunder. 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 April 25,
1997, Security Capital owned approximately 36% of PTR, 44% of SCI, 51% of
ATLANTIC, 37% of Security Capital USREALTY and 62% of Homestead 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
be 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
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.
10
<PAGE>
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.
COMPETITION
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. 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
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Class B Shares
or the Warrants. Although application will be made to list the Class B Shares
and the Warrants on the NYSE, there can be no assurance the Class B Shares or
the Warrants will be so listed or that an active trading market will develop.
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.
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 1,301,010 Class A Shares outstanding, which
will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a total of 65,050,500 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
11
<PAGE>
A Shares. As of March 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 279,949 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 138,521 Class A Shares and approximately $56 million
principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into 53,168 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL
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.

<PAGE>
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 general corporate
purposes, which may include the allocation of capital to new businesses and the
partial repayment of outstanding indebtedness. At April 25, 1997, SC Realty, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital, had $22 million in outstanding
borrowings under its $300 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo and
outstanding borrowings under such line of credit are expected to be
approximately $ million at the time of the closing of the Offering. 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 March 31, 1997, the
aggregate market value of the securities pledged pursuant to the 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. 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.
. 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 March 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 March 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.

Security Capital Real Estate Research Group (RERG)
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
March 31, 1997, the Security Capital USREALTY Special Opportunity Investments
Portfolio had a fair market value of $264 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 registered with the Commission in January 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.
. 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. Security Capital has initially committed to purchase $50 million
of common stock of SC-PG.

(1) Ownership and market capitalization are as of March 31, 1997, and assume
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 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 Companies Market Price
Information and Financial Performance."
(2) As of April 25, 1997, Security Capital's percentage ownerships in its
investees, based on common shares outstanding on such date, were 36% of PTR,
51% of ATLANTIC, 62% of Homestead, 44% of SCI and 37% of Security Capital
USREALTY.
(3) Ownership of Homestead assumes that all convertible mortgages have been
funded and converted into shares of Homestead common stock and that all
warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common stock have been exercised.
Ownership of Homestead does not include any ownership Security Capital may
obtain in Homestead upon conversion of convertible mortgages owned by PTR and
ATLANTIC through funding commitment agreements. See "Relationships with

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 February 28, 1997, PTR's portfolio of multifamily communities
included 42,556 operating units, 5,671 units under construction and an
estimated 6,232 units in planning. In addition, PTR owns land for future
development of an expected 4,492 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 34% of the fully converted common shares of Homestead.
Since February 1991, when Security Capital took its initial position in PTR,
through March 31, 1997, PTR's equity market capitalization has increased from
$33 million to $2,157 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 February 28,
1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio included 19,241 operating multifamily units, 5,095
units under construction and an estimated 3,068 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 March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had an equity market capitalization of
$843 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 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 March 31, 1997, Homestead had developed, owned
and operated 34 properties representing in the aggregate 4,297 units and had 41
properties under construction totaling 5,059 units. At March 31, 1997,
Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $949 million. From its spin-
out 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 National Operating System(R) which is committed to creating shareholder
value by targeting the Fortune 1,000 companies and providing exceptional
customer service at the 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 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 February 28, 1997, SCI had distribution properties
operating or under development in 36 target markets, totaling 88.99 million
square feet. At March 31, 1997, SCI had an equity market capitalization of
$2,365 million. Since its inception in 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 March 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.
. 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 March 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had an equity market
capitalization of $1,593 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.
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 March 31, 1997, Security Capital
USREALTY had $264 million (market value) of publicly traded positions in 24
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 March 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.

the professionals in the Security Capital Markets Group maintain open lines of

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 March 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had an equity market
capitalization of $1,593 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 March
31, 1997, approximately $368 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 March 31, 1997,
Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $949 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 are
new businesses expected to be operational in 1997.
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.

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 diagram:

the Company owned (i) 43,086,724 common shares of SCI, (ii) 21,545,670 shares
of common stock of ATLANTIC, (iii) 27,389,833 common shares of PTR, (iv)
13,144,401 shares of common stock of Homestead and (v) 42,015,299 shares of

transactions which may affect the number of shares of common stock of such
companies owned by the Company, see "Business--The Proposed Mergers" and
"Relationships with Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction."
Security Capital has announced that it may over time reduce its beneficial
ownership in ATLANTIC and Homestead to below 50%.
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.

Capital multiplied by the closing price for the common shares and warrants

EMPLOYEES
After giving effect to the Mergers, it is expected that Security Capital will
have approximately 250 employees. 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. 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.
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
26
<PAGE>
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 expire over various periods of time. 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 an administrative office at 7777 Market Center
Avenue in El Paso, Texas. The Santa Fe office is leased from an unaffiliated
third party and the El Paso office is leased from SCI at an annual rental of
$235,438. 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
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.
27
<PAGE>
. 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 the
same 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 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. 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. It is expected that application will be made to list the
Warrants on the NYSE, although there can be no assurance that the
Warrants will be listed. 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 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 Date. To the extent that (i) additional
REIT Securities are issued prior to the closing date of the Mergers, (ii) any
Securityholders do not exercise their rights to subscribe in the concurrent
rights offerings being conducted by each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI or (iii)
outstanding convertible or exchangeable securities of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI,
respectively, are converted into or exchanged for REIT Securities prior to the
Warrant Issuance Record Date.
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) Does not include options to purchase 60,000 shares of Homestead common
stock at $10 per share which were granted on October 15, 1996, and which expire

ARRANGEMENTS

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 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 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
38
<PAGE>
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 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.
39
<PAGE>
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.

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.

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 Agreement" 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.
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
42
<PAGE>
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
average occupancy levels (93.4% in 1996 compared to 95.4% in 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 $39.8 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 1996, 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 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-out 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.
43
<PAGE>
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $34.5 million and
$26.0 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Of those amounts, $21.9 million
and $15.9 million represented depreciation and amortization from rental
operations in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Depreciation for 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 $1.1 million for the two and one-half month period ended December
31, 1996. The remaining depreciation and amortization of $12.6 million and
$10.1 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, is attributable to the Services
Division, which is discussed below.
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."
Depreciation and Amortization
As discussed above, total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital
was $34.5 million in 1996, $12.6 million of which was attributable to Services
Division companies, representing an increase of $2.5 million over Services
Division depreciation and amortization for 1995 of $10.1 million. Both the 1996
and 1995 amounts included approximately $7.9 million of amortization of
goodwill from the 1995 Merger, as further described in Note 1 to Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements. The $2.5 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:

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-out 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-out.
PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS
Payroll and related costs increased by $24.0 million, or 43%, in 1996 to $80.1
million from $56.1 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to
the expansion of the Services Division, 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. Payroll and related costs 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."
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative costs increased by $13.0 million, or 56%, in 1996 to
$36.0 million from $23.0 million in 1995. The increase was directly
attributable to the increase in the number of employees as a result of the
growth of the Services Division. General and administrative costs 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."
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, none of
which is currently taxable. 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."

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.

<PAGE>
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 average occupancy levels (95.42% in 1995 compared to
93.32% in 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 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 $48.6 million, or
88%, to $103.6 million in 1995 from $55.0 million in 1994. Rental expenses
increased $14.9 million, or 65%, to $37.9 million in 1995 (excluding REIT and
property management fees) from $23.0 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.
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $26.0 million for
1995, which represented an increase of $17.2 million from depreciation and
amortization of $8.8 million for 1994. Depreciation and amortization from
rental operations 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 $10.1 million in 1995 was attributable to the Services
Division.
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.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the Services Division was $10.1 million in
1995, of which $7.9 million was attributable to amortization of goodwill from
the 1995 Merger and $2.2 million 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 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.
PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS
During 1995, Security Capital incurred payroll and related costs of $56.1
million as a result of the acquisition of the Services Division in the 1995
Merger.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative costs increased to $23.0 million in 1995 from $6.2
million in 1994, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Services
Division in the 1995 Merger. General and administrative costs 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 in the 1995 Merger. General and administrative costs in 1995
included approximately $22.1 million in additional costs related to expansion
of the Services Division.
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.
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.
INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
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
47
<PAGE>
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.
As of December 31, 1996, Security Capital had $193.0 million of callable
subscriptions for 2016 Convertible Debentures and Class A Shares, which
subscription amounts had been called and received as of March 31, 1997.
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 April 1997, ATLANTIC completed an $86 million (gross proceeds) equity
offering to finance development and acquisition plans for 1997. (The
offering is subject to a 15% overallotment option that could be
exercised at the option of the underwriters through May 10, 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 December 31, 1996
(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.
1996 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $832.3 million in 1996,
consisting primarily of (i) $267 million invested by ATLANTIC for the
development and acquisition of multifamily communities, (ii) $65 million
invested by Homestead for development of extended-stay lodging properties from
October 17, 1996 to December 31, 1996, (iii) $95 million invested by Security
Capital for common shares of SCI and ATLANTIC and (iv) $392.9 million invested
by Security Capital for common shares of Security Capital USREALTY.

primarily of (i) net proceeds from sales of common and preferred stock of
$438.3 million and $139.0 million, respectively, (ii) $221.6 million in net
proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Debentures, (iii) a $45.9 million
increase in outstanding mortgage loans for ATLANTIC and Homestead, (iv) net
repayments on lines of credit of $10.0 million and (v) other financing
transactions resulting in an aggregate use of cash of $26 million.
Also in 1996, ATLANTIC increased its line of credit to $350 million, and
Security Capital increased its line of credit to $300 million.
Security Capital completed the following non-cash transaction in 1996:
. On October 17, 1996, Security Capital, PTR, ATLANTIC and Homestead
consummated the merger transactions described under "Relationship with
Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction." Since ATLANTIC
and Homestead are consolidated with Security Capital, only the effect of
PTR's transaction with Homestead is reflected in the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the
48
<PAGE>
year ended December 31, 1996. With respect to the transaction between
PTR and Homestead, Homestead acquired at the date of merger
approximately $166 million of net assets in exchange for the issuance of
9,485,727 shares of Homestead common stock and $76 million of
convertible mortgage notes payable.
1995 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $493.9 million in 1995,
consisting primarily of $235.1 million invested by ATLANTIC for the
development and acquisition of multifamily communities and $254.4 million
invested by the Company for the acquisition of common shares of PTR, SCI,
ATLANTIC and Security Capital USREALTY.

(ii) $184.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Convertible
Debentures, (iii) a decrease in outstanding mortgage loans of $7.0 million for
ATLANTIC, (iv) net repayments on lines of credit of $39.5 million and (v)
other financing transactions resulting in an aggregate use of cash of $14.7
million.
Security Capital completed the following non-cash investing and financing
activities in 1995:
. On January 1, 1995, Security Capital acquired through the 1995 Merger
the net assets of the Services Division companies for $233.7 million in
exchange for debt and equity securities of Security Capital.
. On March 23, 1995, Security Capital exchanged the shares of its PACIFIC
subsidiary for additional shares of PTR. The transaction was valued at
approximately $136.0 million and resulted in Security Capital receiving
an additional 8.5 million shares of PTR.
1994 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $1.2 billion in 1994,
primarily as a result of ATLANTIC's development and acquisition of multifamily
communities and SCI's development and acquisition of distribution facilities.
Security Capital also invested approximately $73.8 million to acquire PTR
common shares.
Security Capital's 1994 net financing activity of $1.2 billion primarily
consisted of (i) net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $788 million,
(ii) $48.2 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 2014 Convertible
Debentures; (iii) net borrowings on lines of credit of $400 million, (iv)

Debentures. For the year ended December 31, 1994, $417.2 million of 2014
Convertible Debentures were distributed representing $757.50 for each
common share outstanding or subscribed for.
. During the year ended December 31, 1994, Security Capital assumed $274.1
million in mortgage notes payable in connection with the acquisition of
multifamily communities and distribution facilities through its
ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI investees.
LINE OF CREDIT
SC Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a $300
million secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo. The line of credit
matures in November 1998 and may be extended for one year periods with the
approval of Wells Fargo and the other participating lenders. Borrowings on 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.
SC Realty pays a commitment fee ranging from .125% to .25% per annum based on
the average unfunded line of credit balance. The line of credit is guaranteed
by Security Capital and is secured by shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC, Security
Capital USREALTY and Homestead, as well as warrants to purchase shares in
Homestead.
The line of credit contains a restricted payments covenant which prohibits
dividends and distributions on SC Realty's capital stock in excess of 100% of
SC Realty's cash flow available for distribution (as defined). Security
Capital's guaranty of the line of credit also contains various financial and
other covenants applicable to the Company, including a minimum shareholders'
equity test, a total liabilities to net worth ratio and an interest
49
<PAGE>
coverage ratio, as well as restrictions on the Company's ability to incur
indebtedness and effect consolidations, mergers (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity) and sales of assets. The
guaranty also contains a restricted payments covenant which prohibits dividends
and distributions on the Company's capital stock in excess of 95% of the
Company's cash flow available for distribution (as defined).
As of April 25, 1997, SC Realty had borrowed $22 million under the line of
credit. See "Use of Proceeds."

RELATIONSHIPS WITH OPERATING COMPANIES
In addition to the transactions with affiliates described elsewhere in this
Prospectus, Security Capital has entered into the following agreements with its
affiliated real estate operating companies:
ATLANTIC
ATLANTIC REIT Management Agreement
ATLANTIC's REIT manager, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the
"ATLANTIC REIT Manager"), is owned by Security Capital. The ATLANTIC REIT
Manager's sole business and principal occupation since its formation in October
1993 is advising ATLANTIC. The services provided or coordinated by the ATLANTIC
REIT Manager include strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment
analysis, acquisition and due diligence, multifamily property development,
asset management, capital markets, asset disposition, legal and accounting
services. All such services are included in the fee paid to the ATLANTIC REIT
Manager by ATLANTIC (the "ATLANTIC REIT Management fee"), including capital
markets and development services, which most REITs capitalize (or, in the case
of capital markets, deduct from proceeds). The ATLANTIC REIT Management fee is
paid monthly and was $10.4 million, $6.9 million and $3.7 million for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This agreement will be
terminated upon the closing of the Mergers and all the employees of the
ATLANTIC REIT Manager will become employees of ATLANTIC.
ATLANTIC Property Management
Commencing May 12, 1994, SCG Realty Services (Atlantic) Incorporated (the
"ATLANTIC Property Manager"), an affiliate of the ATLANTIC REIT Manager and a
subsidiary of Security Capital, began providing property management services
for certain of ATLANTIC's properties. At March 31, 1997, the ATLANTIC Property
Manager managed approximately 88.3% of ATLANTIC's multifamily units. The
agreement terminates September 30, 1997, subject to earlier termination by
ATLANTIC on 30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of ATLANTIC's
independent directors and contemplates a fee to the ATLANTIC Property Manager
of 3.5% per annum of property revenues for properties located in Atlanta and
Washington, D.C. markets and 3.75% per annum of property revenues for all other
properties, paid monthly, which was $4.2 million, $3.5 million and $1.5 million
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Any
management contracts executed with the ATLANTIC Property Manager are expected
to be at market rates. This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of
the Mergers and all employees of the ATLANTIC Property Manager will become
employees of ATLANTIC.
ATLANTIC Investor Agreement
ATLANTIC and Security Capital are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as of
October 28, 1993 (the "ATLANTIC Investor Agreement"), which required Security
Capital to purchase $21.5 million in common stock of ATLANTIC, subject to
certain conditions. The ATLANTIC Investor Agreement, among other things,
requires ATLANTIC 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 price exceeds $5 million. The ATLANTIC Investor Agreement also
provides that, so long as Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding
common stock of ATLANTIC, ATLANTIC may not increase its Board of Directors to
more than seven members. Security Capital is entitled to designate one or more
persons as directors, and ATLANTIC is obligated to use its best efforts to
cause the election of such persons, as follows: (i) so long as Security Capital
owns at least 10%, but less than 20%, of the outstanding common stock of
ATLANTIC, it is entitled to nominate two persons; and (ii) so long as Security
Capital owns at least 20% of the outstanding common stock of ATLANTIC, it is
entitled to nominate three persons.
In addition, the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement provides Security Capital with
registration rights pursuant to which, in certain circumstances, Security
Capital may demand, at any time, registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the
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
51
<PAGE>
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 expenses set forth
in the annual budget by 15%; (iii) the purchase or sale of any assets in any
single transaction or series of related transactions in the ordinary course of
ATLANTIC's business where the aggregate purchase price to be paid or received
by ATLANTIC would exceed $25 million; and (iv) the 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 dividend reinvestment and share
purchase plan approved by the ATLANTIC Board of Directors 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 ATLANTIC or
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares.
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 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
52
<PAGE>
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 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 February 28, 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 Homestead in exchange
for up to approximately $98 million in convertible mortgage notes and (d)
providing a cash payment of $16.6 million to Homestead on the closing date;

convertible mortgage notes and (iii) Security Capital (a) owning 4,062,788
shares of Homestead common stock and (b) owning 817,694 warrants 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 March 31, 1997 owned 13,144,401 shares of
Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase 2,900,722 shares of Homestead
common stock.
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, 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, division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in
owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing multifamily communities, so
long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues are derived
from such properties. The agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly (other than by purchase from ATLANTIC, PTR
or Security 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
54
<PAGE>
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, 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. Currently, 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 of $375,000 to Security Capital for administrative services
provided in 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, 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 1996, 1995 and 1994, the PTR REIT Manager earned REIT management
fees totalling $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 March 31, 1997, SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), as
property manager for most of PTR's multifamily communities, managed
approximately 95.2% 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 1996, 1995 and 1994, PTR paid aggregate fees of $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.
56
<PAGE>
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 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 1996, PTR made mortgage loans to PTR Development Services in an
aggregate amount of $18.8 million for the purchase of land for multifamily
development. 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
57
<PAGE>
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 1996, 1995 and 1994, the SCI REIT Manager
earned REIT management fees of $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
Commencing in January 1994, SCI Client Services Incorporated ("Client
Services"), an affiliate of the SCI REIT Manager, began providing property
management services for certain of SCI's properties. As of March 31, 1997
Client Services managed 92.7% of SCI's 82.7 million total operating square
feet. The agreement is subject to termination by SCI on 30 days' notice and by
Client Services on 60 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of
SCI's independent trustees, and contemplates a fee to Client Services of not
more than 3% per annum of property revenues, paid monthly, plus leasing
commissions and maintenance recovery fees consistent with industry practice,
which together were $11.8 million, $5.3 million and $1.7 million for 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. Any management contracts executed with Client Services
are expected to be at or below market rates. This agreement will be terminated
upon the 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 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.
At 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
58
<PAGE>
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 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $1.3 million, $700,000 and
$20,000, respectively. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI earned $1.1 million,
$1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in interest income and had $2.7
million, $1.9 million and $17,000, respectively, in accrued interest receivable
from SCI Development Services. As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI had
outstanding $162 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 7, 1995 (the "Advisory Agreement"),
Security Capital USREALTY appointed Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
("USREALTY Adviser") as operating advisor to provide Security Capital USREALTY

USREALTY Adviser receives a single all-inclusive annual advisory fee equal to
1.25% of Security Capital USREALTY's assets, excluding investments in Security

59
<PAGE>
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
expires on July 7, 1997 and 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 1996 and 1995, the USREALTY Adviser received fees of $8.0
million and $99,000, respectively, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory Agreements
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 7, 1995 (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.
Effective , 1997, the Sub-Advisory Agreement was amended and the
USREALTY Advisor entered into a separate agreement (together with the Sub-
Advisory Agreement, the "Sub-Advisory Agreements") with Security Capital
Investment Research Group Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security
Capital Investment Research ("Security Capital Investment Research Group") and
a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended, with respect to its analysis, advice and research in relation to
intermediate term investments in real estate operating companies. Pursuant to
its Sub-Advisory Agreements, Security Capital Investment Research receives (i)
an annual fee based on .06% on strategic investments up to $1 billion and .03%
on 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 and (iii) reimbursement of certain expenses, and pursuant
to its Sub-Advisory Agreement, Security Capital Investment Research Group
receives an annual fee equal to .50% on Security Capital USREALTY's other
investments and reimbursement of certain expenses. The Sub-Advisory Agreements
expire on July 7, 1997 and are automatically renewable for successive two-year
periods unless the USREALTY Adviser notifies Security Capital Investment
Research or Security Capital Investment Research Group that either Sub-Advisory
Agreement will not be renewed; provided, however, after the first anniversary
date of the agreements or at any time during a renewal period, the USREALTY
Adviser may terminate either agreement on not less than sixty days' prior
written notice to Security Capital Investment Research or Security Capital
Investment Research Group. During 1996 and 1995, Security Capital Investment
Research earned $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 average net asset 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.
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 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
GENERAL
The authorized capital 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 capital 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 declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of
Class B Shares are entitled to dividends equal to one-fiftieth (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).
66
<PAGE>
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 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
67
<PAGE>
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 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.
68
<PAGE>
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 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
69
<PAGE>
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.
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.
70
<PAGE>
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 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.
71
<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'SCHARTER 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 the Charter
and Bylaws for complete information.
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, 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
72
<PAGE>
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. Maryland law permits Security Capital to advance reasonable
expenses to a director or officer upon Security Capital'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
Security Capital as authorized by the Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or
on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Security Capital
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 became 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
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 super majority 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
73
<PAGE>
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 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 March 31, 1997, Security Capital had 1,301,010 Class A Shares issued and
outstanding, which will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a total
of 65,050,500 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 279,950 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 138,521
Class A Shares and
74
<PAGE>
$55,575,000 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into
53,168 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. 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. No rulings on the federal, state or local tax considerations from
receiving, holding and disposing of the Warrants are expected from the IRS or
any other taxing authority. 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 believes that a Securityholder should be treated as having
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. Security Capital, PTR, SCI, and ATLANTIC each intend to
report the Warrant Issuance in a manner consistent with this treatment.
Accordingly, a holder's tax basis in the Warrants received will equal the fair
market value of the Warrants received on the Warrant Issuance Date. 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." Although not free
from doubt, the receipt by a tax-exempt Securityholder of the Warrants pursuant
to the Warrant Issuance should be treated as unrelated business taxable income.
75
<PAGE>
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.
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 any 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 general 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"). 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
76
<PAGE>
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.
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).
Security Capital believes that it currently is not a "United States real
property holding corporation." 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
77
<PAGE>
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.
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.
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.
79
<PAGE>
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.

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 schedule referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and the schedule 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 $1,800,084,000 (58.6%) and $918,860,000 (49.2%)
of the total consolidated assets of Security Capital Group Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $248,469,000
(62.9%), $103,287,000 (51.5%) and $63,728,000 (35.8%) 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 audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The attached Schedule III
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic consolidated financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our
opinion, based solely upon the reports of other auditors, 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.

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. 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 acquisition of GROUP was recorded under the purchase method of accounting.
The results of GROUP operations have been combined with those of REALTY's since
the date of acquisition. The fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed was $91,416,000 and $16,152,000, respectively. The balance
of the purchase price, $158,444,000, was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired (goodwill).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of operations
of REALTY and GROUP on the basis that the acquisition had taken place and the
goodwill, noted above, was recorded on January 1, 1994. The weighted average
common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the Merger conversion
rate (1.22 common shares for each GROUP share and 1.147 common shares for each
$1,000 principal amount of GROUP's convertible subordinated debentures). The
pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
operations that would have occurred had REALTY and GROUP constituted a single
entity during such period (in thousands, except share data).

</TABLE>
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.
Goodwill:
Goodwill results from REALTY's acquisition of GROUP on January 1, 1995 and
represents acquisition costs in excess of net assets acquired. Goodwill, net of
accumulated amortization, aggregating $142,600,000 and $150,522,000 at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, is included in intangible assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 20 years. Amortization for each of the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $7,922,000.
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
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.
REIT, Property and Operating Advisor management fees for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 were earned from the following sources (in
thousands):

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-out 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 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.

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.
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 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
December 31, 1996.

December 31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

Homestead executed a funding commitment agreement with PTR which provides

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.

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

Convertible Debt:
Security Capital's 2014 Convertible Debentures totaling $713,677,000 at
December 31, 1996 and $718,611,000 at December 31, 1995 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 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). 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.

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.
A summary of the status of Security Capital's stock option plans at December

The weighted-average fair value per share of options granted during 1996 and
1995 was $447 and $368, respectively.
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.
7. LEASES

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.
A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the applicable Federal tax
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
$61,000,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995. 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 ("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.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995, are as

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, Security Capital expects the gain on sale of the
management companies to SCI and PTR will be immaterial. 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
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.
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>

SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
The securities reserved for options and warrant grants and the options and
warrants granted are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
Due to the stock dividend, the option and warrant shares have been increased by
.7242 (see Note 1). All options and warrants had exercise prices of $580 per
share (adjusted to $475 per Security Capital share in the GROUP/REALTY merger)
for the common stock and par for the debentures and must be exercised in units
of both common stock and debentures.
Options granted to directors are one-half vested, with the balance to be fully
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).

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-48
<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.
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.
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).

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

SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
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
F-53
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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% 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).

(6) 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 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.

On September 9, 1996, PTR entered into a short-term, unsecured, borrowing
agreement with TCB. The loan matures September 9, 1997 and bears interest at
an overnight rate, which has ranged from 5.80% to 7.50%. At December 31, 1996,
there was $10.5 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement.
Long-Term Debt
As of December 31, 1996, PTR has issued a total of $580 million of long-term
unsecured senior notes ("Notes"), which bear interest at specified rates per
annum, payable semi-annually. Funds from such issuances were used primarily
for acquisition, development and renovation of multifamily communities and to
repay revolving credit balances incurred for such purposes. The following

Covenants
PTR's debt instruments generally contain certain covenants common to the type
of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants establishing minimum
debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan to value ratios. PTR was in
compliance with all covenants pertaining to its debt instruments at December
31, 1996.
(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:

federal income tax purposes, of which $1.06 was taxable as ordinary income,
$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 Preferred Share dividends are payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December
F-60
<PAGE>
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder
PTR's Restated Declaration of Trust and the Articles Supplementary governing
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-61
<PAGE>
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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Security Capital Industrial Trust:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Capital Industrial Trust 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 in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
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 provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Security Capital Industrial
Trust 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 in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

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.

</TABLE>
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. The activities of
SCI Development Services are consolidated with SCI and all intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. 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):

In addition to the December 31, 1996 construction payable accrual of $24.6
million, SCI had unfunded commitments on its contracts for developments under
construction totaling $106.6 million. These commitments relate to development
activity in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, East Bay (San
Francisco), Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orange

Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C./Baltimore.

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.

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
redemption date plus an adjustment, if any, based on the yield to maturity
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
$283,000 of borrowings from SCI and its affiliates at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
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.
For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
distributions paid on Common Shares in 1995 and 1994 and the estimated

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-90
<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):

(1) Included in the $106.0 million notional amount at December 31, 1996 are two
contracts totalling $80.0 million which settled on January 31, 1997 (see Note
14), and a $26.0 million contract with a termination date of July 15, 1997. The
$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.
F-91
<PAGE>
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
February 10, 1997, approximately $393 million in securities were available to
be issued under the shelf registration statement.

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.
Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

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

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"). 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, 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-116
<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.

NOTE 4--ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PREPAYMENTS
A. Deferred Costs
The Company believes that minimising intangible assets makes the Company more
attractive to investors. Therefore, the unamortised portion of (i) costs
associated with the formation of USREALTY and its initial private placement,
and (ii) costs incurred in connection with arranging USREALTY's $300 million
line of credit, were written off in October 1996. Such amortised costs were
$3.7 million. Since October 1996, all costs of raising capital, including line
of credit increases, are expensed as incurred (an additional $1.1 million for
increasing the line of credit in 1996).
B. Accounts Receivable
The amounts included within accounts receivable and prepayments are as follows:

The offering expenses accruals are covered by the commission received during

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-118
<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-119
<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.

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.

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 Fair Market Value of an SCI Common
Share; 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. 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 one-one hundredth (1/100th)) 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.

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.

the Commission as soon as is reasonably practicable after the date hereof the
SCG Warrant Registration Statement. SCG shall also take any action required to
be taken under applicable state blue sky or securities laws in connection with

to subscribe. To the extent the SCI Registration Statement shall have been
filed and declared effective prior to the date of this Agreement, SCI shall
use all reasonable efforts to continue the effectiveness of the SCI

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

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,
modifies or amends its recommendation pursuant to Section 6.3.
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.

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

cannot be satisfied prior to the Termination Date;
(d) unilaterally by SCG if SCI, through the SCI Board or SCI Special

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, and any other person providing
material services to 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 dividend amount paid per Share
during such calendar year, reduced by the dollar 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), divided by (iii) the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the last day of the calendar 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 dividend amount paid per Share during 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), divided by (iii) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the last day of
the calendar 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 Shares.
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) 60 days after
the date the Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Trust
and Related Companies for any reason other than death, Disability or
Retirement, (ii) 90 days after the date on which the Trust terminates the
Participant's employment with the Trust and Related Companies for any
reason other than Cause, (iii) 180 days after the Participant's employment
with the Trust and Related Companies terminates by reason of death,
Disability or Retirement or following a Change in Control of the Trust, 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.

<PAGE>
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 vesting of a
Share Award is contingent on continued employment, the required employment
shall not be less than three years following the grant of the Award. 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 which are vested (or become vested under
Section 6.5) for a reasonable period prior to the effective date of the
cancellation; or (B) the Participant receives payment or other benefits
that the
6
<PAGE>
Committee determines to be reasonable compensation for the value of the
cancelled Awards, to the extent such Awards are vested (or become vested
under Section 6.5).
(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 the
Award 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 the
cancelled Awards.
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.
(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 (i) 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), or (ii) the Plan is terminated by
the Trust or its successor following a Change in Control without provision for
the continuation of outstanding Awards hereunder, 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; or
(b) the "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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); 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.
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.
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.
8
<PAGE>
(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.
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.
9
<PAGE>
(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.
(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.
10
<PAGE>
(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
respect the applicability of the preceding paragraph with respect to any
act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or
adoption."
II-1
<PAGE>
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.
II-2
<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.
