Security Capital Corporation (AMEX: SCC) (the "Company") announced today that the American Stock Exchange halted trading of the Company's shares on June 22, 2005 due to a marked increase in the trading price and a higher than average trading volume of the shares. The Company knows of no corporate reason for such volatility of its stock. As the Company announced on June 7, 2005, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors, has switched to a formal sale process for the Company and has retained UBS Securities LLC to conduct the process. As the Company announced on June 13, 2005, the Company received a revised offer from Robert J. Bossart, Jonathan R. Wagner, Richard T. Kurth and certain other current and former members of the senior management team of CompManagement, Inc., along with their other equity partners, to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company at a price of $13.00 per share and referred such offer to UBS Securities LLC for consideration in connection with the formal sale process. As the Company also announced on June 13, 2005, the Company does not intend to make any further announcements regarding the receipt of future offers. In addition, the Company does not intend to update the market with respect to any further developments relating to the formal sale process until it is appropriate to do so. The Company's two reportable segments are employer cost containment and health services, and educational services. The employer cost containment and health services segment consists of WC Holdings, Inc., which provides services to employers and their employees primarily relating to industrial health and safety, industrial medical care, workers' compensation insurance and the direct and indirect costs associated therewith. The educational segment consists of Primrose Holdings, Inc., which is engaged in the franchising of educational child care centers, with related activities in real estate consulting and site selection services in the Southeast, Southwest and Midwest.
