SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST 7777 MARKET CENTER AVENUE EL PASO, TEXAS 79912 ---------------- PROXY STATEMENT FOR 1996 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD MAY 21, 1996 ---------------- GENERAL INFORMATION The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR") is soliciting the accompanying proxy for use at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 21, 1996 and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of PTR, by delivering to the Secretary of PTR a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending and voting in person at the meeting. The designated proxy holders will vote Common Shares of Beneficial Interest, $1.00 par value per share (the "Common Shares"), represented by a proxy which is received and not revoked. Where the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon and for which a ballot is provided in the proxy, the Common Shares will be voted in accordance with his or her specifications. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about April 3, 1996. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by PTR. In addition to solicitation by mail, and without additional compensation for such services, proxies may be solicited personally, or by telephone or telegraph, by officers or employees of Security Capital Pacific Incorporated, PTR's REIT manager (the "REIT Manager" or "REIT Management"). See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--REIT Management Agreement." PTR will also request banking institutions, brokerage firms, custodians, trustees, nominees, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Common Shares held of record by such persons, and PTR will upon request of such record holders reimburse forwarding charges and expenses. SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTE REQUIRED At the close of business on March 20, 1996 approximately 72,210,918 Common Shares were outstanding. Each whole Common Share outstanding on March 25, 1996, the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting, is entitled to one vote, and each fractional Common Share is entitled to its fraction of one vote. There is no right to cumulative voting. A majority of the outstanding Common Shares represented in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Assuming the existence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Common Shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting is required to approve the election of each nominee for Trustee. Representatives of PTR's transfer agent will assist PTR in the tabulation of the votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as Common Shares represented at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. An abstention has the effect of a vote "withheld" with respect to the election of Trustees. PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS The following table sets forth certain information regarding ownership of Common Shares as of March 20, 1996 by each person known to PTR to have been the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Common Shares on such date and by all Trustees and executive officers of PTR as a group. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, all of such interests are owned directly and the indicated person or entity has sole voting and dispositive power. The following table assumes the conversion of all Cumulative Convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, $1.00 par value per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"), owned by such person. Fractional Common Shares have been rounded to the nearest whole Common Share in the table below and elsewhere in this report. See "Election of Trustees-- Nominees" for information regarding the ownership of Common Shares by each Trustee.

- -------- *Less than 1%. (1) These Common Shares are owned of record by SC Realty Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("SCG"), and are pledged to secure SCG's $300 million revolving line of credit facility with a syndicate of banks. As of April 3, 1995, there were no borrowings under the line of credit. The line of credit is also secured by securities owned by SCG of Security Capital Industrial Trust, a publicly- traded REIT, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated, a private REIT, and Security Capital U.S. Realty, an entity based in Luxembourg which invests in real estate operating companies in the United States. SCG estimates that the aggregate market value of the pledged securities exceeds $1.7 billion as of April 2, 1996. SCG was in compliance with all covenants under the line of credit at December 31, 1995. Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Shares owned by SCG, because Mr. Sanders shares voting and dispositive power with respect to all Common Shares owned by SCG. SCG and Mr. Sanders intend to play a major role in the direction of PTR for the purpose of maximizing the value of PTR. (2) Information regarding beneficial ownership of Common Shares by The Allstate Corporation is included herein in reliance on an amendment to Schedule 13G dated February 8, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Allstate Corporation has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all Common Shares reported, and such Common Shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired for the purpose, and do not have the effect, of changing or influencing control of PTR. (3) Information regarding beneficial ownership of Common Shares by The Capital Group Companies, Inc. is included herein in reliance upon information set forth in an amendment to Schedule 13G dated February 9, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capital Guardian Trust Company and Capital 2 Research and Management Company, operating subsidiaries of The Capital Group Companies, Inc., exercised as of December 29, 1995, investment discretion with respect to 232,530 and 3,754,580 Common Shares, respectively, which were owned by various institutional investors. The number of Common Shares held as indicated includes 1,327,110 Common Shares resulting from the assumed conversion of Series A Preferred Shares. The Capital Group Companies, Inc. has sole dispositive power with respect to all Common Shares reported, and such Common Shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired for the purpose, and do not have the effect, of changing or influencing control of PTR. (4) Includes 30,000 Common Shares issuable to PTR's independent Trustees upon exercise of options granted under PTR's Outside Trustees Plan (as defined below). See "Election of Trustees--Trustee Compensation." ELECTION OF TRUSTEES NOMINEES The Common Shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted to elect the seven nominees named below as Trustees. Should any of the nominees named below become unavailable for election, which is not anticipated, the Common Shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted for the election of another person recommended by PTR. Trustees are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders. Each Trustee has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by him.

- -------- *Less than 1% (1) Includes for each of Messrs. Kessler, Schweitzer and Cardwell beneficial ownership of 8,000 Common Shares and beneficial ownership of 4,000 and 2,000 Common Shares for Messrs. Myers and Kelley, respectively, that are issuable upon exercise of Common Share options granted under the Outside Trustees Plan. See "--Trustee Compensation" below. SCG has the right to nominate up to three Trustees, depending upon its level of beneficial ownership of Common Shares. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Investor Agreement." Messrs. Blankenship, Kelley and Polk, due to their relationship with SCG, are deemed to be the nominees of SCG. PTR's Restated Declaration of Trust requires that a majority of the Trustees be independent Trustees. MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES The Board held 40 meetings during 1995, including 35 telephonic meetings. The Audit Committee of the Board, composed of Messrs. Cardwell and Kessler, is responsible for recommending to the Board the appointment of independent auditors, reviewing all recommendations of the auditors with respect to accounting methods and internal controls of PTR, reviewing and approving non- audit services, and reviewing the scope of the audits conducted by the auditors. The Audit Committee held one meeting during 1995. PTR has no standing nominating or compensation committees. During 1995, each Trustee attended at least 75 percent of the total number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which he served (except that Messrs. Cardwell, Kelley and Schweitzer attended approximately 70%, 65% and 70%, respectively, of such meetings). TRUSTEE COMPENSATION Trustees who are not employees of the REIT Manager or any of its affiliates receive an annual retainer of $18,000 and meeting fees of $1,000 for each Board meeting attended (other than telephonic meetings), and the chairpersons of each committee receive an additional retainer of $1,000. Both the retainers and meeting fees are paid quarterly. Employees of the REIT Manager or any of its affiliates who are Trustees are not paid any Trustee fees. Hence, Messrs. Blankenship and Polk are not separately compensated for serving as Trustees. Trustees are reimbursed for any out-of-town travel expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings. 4 In addition, pursuant to the Outside Trustees Plan, each Trustee who is not an employee of the REIT Manager or any of its affiliates on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders held prior to January 1, 1997 is entitled to receive an option to purchase 2,000 Common Shares at a price per share equal to the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange on such date. OUTSIDE TRUSTEES PLAN At the 1987 annual meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of up to 200,000 Common Shares under PTR's Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the "Outside Trustees Plan"). Options granted under the Outside Trustees Plan are for a five-year term and are immediately exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise price of options granted may not be less than the fair market value of Common Shares on the date of grant. There are currently 136,000 Common Shares available for future options under the Outside Trustees Plan. Options granted under the Outside Trustees Plan provide that the option holder may, in the event of the acquisition of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares as the result of any cash tender offer or exchange offer (other than one made by PTR), exercise the options immediately or surrender the options, or any unexercised portion thereof, to PTR and receive cash from PTR equal to the difference between the exercise price of each option and the per Common Share price of the tender offer or exchange offer, multiplied by the number of Common Shares for which options are held. PTR OFFICERS--EMPLOYEES OF THE REIT MANAGER Effective March 1, 1991, all of the officers of PTR became officers and employees of the REIT Manager and, since then, have been compensated solely by the REIT Manager for their services as employees of the REIT Manager, including the services which such persons perform pursuant to the REIT Management Agreement between the REIT Manager and PTR described below. All executive functions of PTR are performed by the REIT Manager and PTR has no employees. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--REIT Management Agreement." 5 PERFORMANCE GRAPH Set forth below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total shareholder return on Common Shares against the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor's Composite-500 Stock Index and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc.

The Merger was consummated on March 23, 1995 with 80.7% of PTR's Common Shares being voted in favor of the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger, each then outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.611 Common Shares. SCG was the principal stockholder of PACIFIC prior to the Merger, having owned approximately 97.6% of PACIFIC's common stock outstanding at the time of the Merger. SCG's PACIFIC common stock was converted into 8,266,112 Common Shares pursuant to the terms of the Merger. In addition, William D. Sanders, the Chairman of SCG, and William G. Myers and John C. Schweitzer, both Trustees of PTR, received 9,165, 9,165 and 7,637 Common Shares, respectively, upon conversion of their PACIFIC common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, PTR changed its name from "Property Trust of America" to "Security Capital Pacific Trust." REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT management agreement (as amended and restated, the "REIT Management Agreement") with the REIT Manager to provide management services to PTR. The REIT Manager is owned by SCG, which currently owns approximately 37.9% of the Common Shares. See "Principal Shareholders." All officers of PTR are employees of the REIT Manager and PTR has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management for PTR, including research, investment analysis, acquisition and development services, asset management, capital markets services, disposition of assets and legal and accounting services. 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 ("Cash Flow") in excess of $4,837,000. In the REIT Management Agreement, Cash Flow is calculated by reference to PTR's cash flow from operations before deducting (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 have been none since the inception of the REIT Management Agreement); and, after deducting (iv) actual or assumed regularly scheduled principal and interest payments for long-term debt and (v) distributions actually paid with respect to any nonconvertible preferred shares of beneficial interest of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement provides that the $200 million of senior notes issued by PTR in February 1994 and the $150 million of senior notes issued by PTR in February 1996 will be treated as having 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 dividend income from PTR Development Services Incorporated ("PTR Development Services"), realized gains 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, 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, attending Board and shareholder meetings and similar activities on behalf of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by PTR 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. PTR may terminate the REIT Management Agreement on 60 days' notice. Because of the year-to-year nature of the agreement, its maximum effect on PTR'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 1995, the REIT Manager earned REIT management fees totalling $20,354,000. 7 INVESTOR AGREEMENT Pursuant to various agreements, as amended (the "Investor Agreement"), between PTR and SCG, SCG is entitled to designate three persons to be nominated for election to the Board. Messrs. Blankenship, Kelley and Polk, due to their affiliations with SCG, are deemed to be representatives of SCG. So long as SCG beneficially owns at least 10% of the Common Shares, PTR is prohibited from increasing the number of members of the Board to more than eight. Additionally, the Investor Agreement, among other things, requires PTR to obtain SCG'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 SCG in respect of Common Shares beneficially owned by SCG. SCG is permitted to acquire beneficial ownership of up to 49% of the outstanding Common Shares (assuming the conversion or exchange of all convertible or exchangeable PTR securities) without triggering any of PTR's anti-takeover defenses (such as the provision in PTR's Restated Declaration of Trust permitting PTR to redeem Common Shares owned in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Common Shares). PTR also has provided SCG a limited exemption from the application of two anti-takeover statutes promulgated in Maryland, the jurisdiction in which PTR is organized. SCG has agreed not to acquire for its own account or through its affiliates, as defined in the Investor Agreement, more than 49% of the outstanding Common Shares (assuming the conversion or exchange of all convertible or exchangeable PTR securities) except, if at all, pursuant to an all cash tender offer for all Common Shares which is held open for at least 90 days. PTR would not be restricted in opposing any such tender offer. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT At March 20, 1996, SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), as property manager for most of PTR's garden style properties, and Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead Realty Services"), as property manager for all of PTR's Homestead Village(R) properties, managed approximately 88.8% of PTR's operating multifamily units, with the balance in various stages of transition to SCG Realty Services' management. SCG owns each of SCG Realty Services and Homestead Realty Services. Rates for services performed by SCG Realty Services and Homestead 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). The Trustees believe such services are performed at market rates. During 1995, PTR paid aggregate fees of $7,894,000 and $1,018,000 to SCG Realty Services and Homestead Realty Services, respectively. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PTR owns all of the preferred stock of PTR Development Services, which entitles PTR to 95% of the net operating cash flow of PTR Development Services. SCG owned all of the common stock of PTR Development Services during 1995. Effective as of January 1, 1996, SCG transferred such common stock to an unaffiliated trust. The common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net operating cash flow. During 1995, PTR made mortgage loans to PTR Development Services in an aggregate amount of $13,972,293.20 for the purchase of land for multifamily development, all of which was repaid on December 31, 1995. 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 1996. The aggregate amount of such loans will vary dependent upon the volume of development activity. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires PTR's trustees, officers, and beneficial owners of more than 10 percent of the outstanding Common Shares to file reports of ownership and changes in 8 ownership of the Common Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to send copies of such reports to PTR. Based solely upon a review of such reports and amendments thereto furnished to PTR and upon written representations of certain of such persons that they were not required to file certain of such reports, PTR believes that no such person failed to file any such report on a timely basis during 1995, except that Mr. Schweitzer, a Trustee of PTR, filed two reports of changes in ownership late during 1995, Mr. Sanders, a principal shareholder of PTR, filed one report of a change in ownership late during 1995 and Jeffrey B. Allen, an executive officer of PTR, filed one report of a change in ownership late during 1995. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The Board has selected KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, certified public accountants, who have served as auditors for PTR since 1980, to serve again as the auditors of PTR's books and records for the coming year. A representative of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting, and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. ANNUAL REPORT PTR's 1995 Annual Report, which includes financial statements, is being mailed to shareholders together with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report does not constitute a part of the proxy solicitation material. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS Any proposal by a shareholder of PTR intended to be presented at the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by PTR at its principal executive offices not later than November 28, 1996, for inclusion in PTR's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. OTHER MATTERS PTR is not aware of any business or matter other than those indicated above which may properly be presented at the meeting. If, however, any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will, in their discretion, vote thereon in accordance with their best judgment.
