Wagner, Richard T. Kurth and certain other members of the senior management team of CompManagement, Inc. (collectively, the "CMI Management Team"), an indirect subsidiary of Security Capital, proposing that an entity to be formed ("Newco") by the CMI Management Team and its equity partners, Talisman Capital Fund I, LLC and Stonehenge Opportunity Fund, LLC, acquire by merger all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Common Stock and Zero Coupon Convertible Preferred Stock of Security Capital (collectively, "SCC Capital Stock"), at a price per share of $10.50. The offer is subject to (1) satisfactory due diligence review of Security Capital and its subsidiaries, other than CompManagement, Inc., (2) the agreement of the majority stockholder of SCC and its affiliates, including Brian D.

In addition to funding from its equity partners, the CMI Management Team expects to finance its offer primarily from funds provided by new senior and subordinated debt of Newco and CompManagement, Inc. The foregoing description of the CMI Offer Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CMI Offer Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
