           GE CAPITAL ELECTS PARTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF PROLOGIS STOCK AS
              MERGER CONSIDERATION IN SECURITY CAPITAL ACQUISITION


           Stamford, Conn. and Chicago, Ill., April 29, 2002 - GE Capital,
through its Commercial Real Estate business, and Security Capital Group
Incorporated (NYSE: SCZ) announced today that GE Capital has elected to include
common shares of ProLogis Trust (NYSE: PLD) in the consideration to be received
by Security Capital stockholders in GE Capital's pending acquisition of Security
Capital. GE Capital has the sole discretion to revoke its election on or prior
to May 4, 2002.

           GE Capital's election means that, if the merger is completed,
Security Capital stockholders will be entitled to receive cash and 0.23015373
ProLogis common shares for each share of class B stock of Security Capital they
hold, such that the agreed aggregate value of the consideration will equal
$26.00. The ProLogis common shares will be valued for these purposes based on
the average of the daily closing prices for the ProLogis common shares reported
on the NYSE for the ten trading day period beginning on April 26, 2002 and
ending on May 9, 2002. Each share of Security Capital class A common stock will
receive 50 times the per share class B consideration. Cash will be paid in lieu
of fractional shares. The exact amount of cash to be received by Security
Capital stockholders will be announced in a press release promptly following the
end of the measurement period.

           The aggregate number of ProLogis common shares to be distributed by
Security Capital at the effective time of the merger pursuant to GE Capital's
stock election will be based on the actual number of shares of common stock of
Security Capital outstanding at such time. Based on the current number of
outstanding shares of Security Capital common stock, GE Capital's election will


                                       12

result in Security Capital retaining approximately 9.8% of the outstanding
ProLogis common shares following the merger.
