Page 5 of 9 Pages This jointly filed Schedule 13/D (i) is Amendment No. 28 with respect to Craig Corporation ("Craig") and it amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, dated June 4, 1987 and Amendments thereto (the "Craig Schedule 13D") filed by Craig relating to beneficial holdings of shares of Common Stock of Citadel Holding Corporation ("Citadel"); and (ii) is Amendment No. 4 with respect to Reading Entertainment, Inc. ("Reading") and Reading Holdings, Inc.("Holdings") and it amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, dated March 28, 1996 and the Amendments thereto (the "Reading Schedule 13D") filed by Reading and Holdings relating to beneficial holdings of shares of Common Stock of Citadel. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Craig or Reading Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following: On December 20, 1996, the Citadel Series B Preferred Stock held by Holdings was acquired by Citadel pursuant to the exercise of certain redemption rights set forth in the Certificate of Designation with respect to such securities. The Filers have been advised that such redemption was reviewed and recommended by an independent committee of the Board of Directors of Citadel, composed entirely of directors having no affiliation with the Filers, or any of them, and with the advice of an independent financial advisor. Filers are further advised that such recommendation was based upon the view that redemption would be preferable, from the point of view of the Issuer and its stockholders, to a conversion by Holdings of such Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock of the Issuer at the conversion price of approximately $2.58 per share, as permitted by the Certificate of Designation.
