ITEM 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Pursuant to the terms of the Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company exercised its right to redeem the 2.0 million remaining outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock has no stated par value and has a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Upon receipt of the Company's redemption notice, Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated, the holder of the remaining shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, elected to convert the 2.0 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's common stock, $1.00 par value per share, at a price of $16.25 per share. On December 10, 2004, the Company issued 3,076,769 shares of the Company's common stock to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shares upon conversion of the 2.0 million shares of the Series D Preferred Stock. Because the shares of common stock were sold in a transaction not involving a public offering, the transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
