SCC ProShares UltraShort Consumer Discretionary

Security Capital Corporation (AMEX: SCC) ("Security Capital" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into a merger agreement to be acquired by Sedgwick CMS Holdings, Inc. ("Sedgwick CMS"). The merger contemplated by the merger agreement is subject to a vote of the stockholders of Security Capital at a special meeting to be held at the end of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2006. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Security Capital stockholders are to receive $16.46 per share in cash, subject to a downward adjustment to the merger consideration if the Company's indebtedness at the time the proxy statement is mailed is in excess of the Company's expected indebtedness and an upward or downward adjustment to the merger consideration if the actual costs and expenses of preparing the Company's proxy statement and holding its special meeting are more or less than the expected costs and expenses. All adjustments will be finalized prior to the time that the Company's proxy statement is mailed to its stockholders, and such proxy statement will include a definitive cash price per share payable to the Company's stockholders. Security Capital operates as a holding company that actively participates in the management of its subsidiaries. The Company conducts business through its approximately 84%-owned subsidiary WC Holdings, Inc. ("WC"). WC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, CompManagement, Inc., is a leading independent provider of comprehensive claims management, cost containment and consulting services designed to control the cost to employers of workers' compensation, medical malpractice, automobile, general liability, unemployment and short- and long-term disability insurance benefits. WC's activities are primarily centered in Ohio, California, Virginia, Maryland, Texas, Michigan, Florida, Washington, Minnesota and New York. Sedgwick CMS is the parent company of Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc., a leading provider of innovative claims and productivity management solutions. The principal equity holders of Sedgwick CMS are Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF), Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and Evercore Capital Partners. As previously announced, the Company is pursuing a formal sale process for the Company in order to seek the highest price reasonably obtainable for the stockholders of the Company. In the course of conducting the formal sale process, the Company's Board of Directors determined that the best way to maximize value for the Company's stockholders was to sell its educational services segment, which was conducted through the Company's former subsidiary Primrose Holdings, Inc. ("Primrose"), and the balance of the Company in separate transactions. The Company sold its 91.52% (on a fully diluted basis) interest in Primrose on March 31, 2006. As previously announced, the Company has declared a special cash dividend of $9.04 per share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, which dividend will be paid principally from the net proceeds of the Company's sale of its interest in Primrose. The special cash dividend will be payable on June 28, 2006 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2006. Commenting on the proposed merger, Brian D. Fitzgerald, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company, stated that: "This transaction with Sedgwick CMS represents the final step in completing Security Capital's formal sale process. The Company's Board of Directors has unanimously approved the merger and believes that the formal sale process has resulted in the Company's stockholders receiving the highest price reasonably obtainable for their shares." Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, the holders of approximately 81% of the Company's outstanding Class A Common Stock and Common Stock (including Brian D. Fitzgerald and CP Acquisition, L.P. No. 1) entered into a voting agreement with Sedgwick CMS pursuant to which these stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote all of their shares in favor of the merger. The voting agreement will terminate if the merger agreement is terminated. In order to enable Sedgwick CMS to acquire 100% of the principal subsidiaries of Security Capital, the Company has also entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of WC not currently owned by the Company. It is expected that the Company will acquire such shares of WC immediately prior to consummating the merger. Additionally, concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement and the WC stock purchase agreement, certain of the Company's stockholders (including Brian D. Fitzgerald, CP Acquisition, L.P. No. 1 and each of the Company's directors) and the minority holders of WC shares and options have entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which such parties have agreed to provide Sedgwick CMS with indemnification with respect to certain matters. As security for such indemnification, a portion of the consideration otherwise payable to such stockholders under the merger agreement and the WC stock purchase agreement will be placed into escrow at the time such transactions are consummated. The Company's public stockholders will not be subject to such indemnification agreement, and none of the merger consideration payable to the public stockholders will be placed into escrow. The consummation of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Security Capital stockholders, the Company's acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of WC not currently owned by the Company and the receipt of certain regulatory and third-party consents, including the expiration of all waiting periods required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The merger is expected to close around the end of the third quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2006. Upon such closing, shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock will no longer be listed on the American Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. UBS Securities LLC is the Company's financial advisor and has provided a fairness opinion. Hill Street Capital LLC has also provided a fairness opinion. Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. are the Company's legal counsel.
