("Security Capital" or the "Company") (NYSE:SCA) pursuant to the Company's secondary stock offering on June 6, 2007 of more than 9.6 million shares at $31.00 per share.

The complaints filed allege that defendants violated the federal securities laws. Specifically, the complaints allege that during the relevant period defendants made numerous untrue statements of material facts and failed to disclose that: a substantial portion of the Company's credit portfolio related to sub-prime residential mortgage backed securities ("RMBS") and collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs") had declined substantially in value; 2) the Company's net loss reserves were inadequate in light of the Company's deteriorating credit portfolio; 3) the Company's credit default swaps were not fairly valued; and 4) as a result of the Company's imprudent underwriting, inadequate loss reserves and overvaluation of its credit default swaps, the Company's AAA credit rating was at risk of being downgraded. As a result of these false statements and omissions, persons who purchased the Company's common stock during the relevant period paid materially more than what the shares were worth.
