Page 6 of 14 Pages This joint filing made by Reading Company, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Reading"), Craig Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Craig") and Reading Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings" and collectively with Craig and Reading the "Filers") relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value of Citadel Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Citadel" or the "Issuer"). With respect to Craig, this filing is Amendment No. 24, which amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, dated June 5, 1987, and Amendments thereto (collectively, the "Craig Schedule 13D") filed by Craig, 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 Schedule 13D. The information provided below under Items 1 through 7 with respect to Craig is intended to amend the Schedule 13D information previously provided by Craig. With respect to Reading and Holdings, this is the initial filing on Schedule 13D. ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER. ------------------- This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Citadel, whose principal executive offices are located at 550 South Hope Street, Suite 1825, Los Angeles, California 90071. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. ----------------------- The persons filing this Amendment No. 24 and this Initial Filing on Schedule 13D are respectively Craig Corporation, a Delaware corporation, whose principal business and office address is 550 S. Hope Street, Suite 1825, Los Angeles, California 90071, Reading Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, whose principal business and office address is 30 South 15th Street, Suite 1300, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102 and Reading Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation whose principal business and office address is 103 Springer Building 3411 Silverside Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19810. Craig has historically been in the retail grocery business through its interest in Stater Bros. Holdings, Inc. ("Stater"), in the real estate business through its interest in Citadel and in the beyond-the-home entertainment and real estate business through its interest in Reading and, more recently, through its interest in Reading International Cinemas, LLC (a limited liability company owned in equal parts by Craig and Reading, and formed to pursue cinema exhibition opportunities in Australia). On March 8, 1996, Stater exercised its right to convert Craig's common stock interest in that Company into preferred stock. In light of this action by Stater, Craig has determined to focus its activities going forward on the land-based entertainment industry -- Page 7 of 14 Pages particularly on the development, ownership and operation of cinemas. Reading's and Holdings' business focuses on the beyond-the-home segment of the entertainment industry at present, consists primarily of motion picture theater development and operations. Reading also engages in real estate activities through ownership, sale or development of certain real estate in Pennsylvania and participation in two real estate joint ventures. Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reading. Provided below is a list of officers and directors for Craig, Reading and Holdings.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. ------------------------------------------------- The source of funds for Craig's purchase of 53,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock is working capital. The total net consideration amounted to approximately $119,478. Through Holdings, Reading acquired 1,564,473 shares of Citadel Common Stock from Craig pursuant to a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March 29, 1996 between Holdings and Craig (the "Agreement"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The purchase price for such shares was $3,324,505, which was paid by Holdings delivering its promissory note, bearing interest payable quarterly in arrears at a fluctuating rate equal to 30 day LIBOR plus 225 basis points, with principal of the note due on March 29, 2001 (the "Common Stock Purchase Note"). Holdings intends to satisfy its note obligations from working capital, which may include capital contributed by Reading. See Item 4 for a further description of the Agreement. Page 10 of 14 Pages ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. ---------------------- The Board of Directors of Reading and Craig on March 28, 1996 authorized and approved the purchase and sale, pursuant to the Agreement, of all of the shares of Citadel Common Stock owned by Craig, being 1,564,473 shares (the "Shares"), to Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reading, for $3,324,505, approximately $2.125 per share, such amount to be paid in the form of the Common Stock Purchase Note. That transaction closed on March 29, 1996. In addition, as a part of the same transaction, Craig granted Holdings an option (the "Preferred Stock Option") exercisable for a period of 12 months commencing on the later of (i) the tenth business day following the next annual meeting of stockholders of Citadel and (b) July 1, 1996, to purchase all of the shares of Citadel's 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), stated value $3.95 per share, owned by Craig, being 1,329,114 shares. The exercise price is the fair market value of the Preferred Stock as determined by an investment banking firm to be mutually agreed upon and is payable in the form of a promissory note having the same terms (including the due date) and form as the Common Stock Purchase Note. If Holdings determines to acquire (the "Acquisition Transaction") enough additional shares of Citadel Common Stock to permit the consolidation of Holdings and Citadel for Federal income tax purposes, then the purchase price will be the price paid by Holdings to Citadel Common Stock stockholders and the form of the consideration will be the same form paid to such Citadel stockholders. An option fee of $50,000 was paid by Holdings. The option fee will be credited against the exercise price if Holdings elects to exercise the Preferred Stock Option. The Preferred Stock Option can be extended for an additional 12 months by increasing the option fee to $100,000 through the payment of an additional $50,000. Craig has also granted Holdings, as a part of the same transaction, an option (the "Warrant Option") exercisable in the event that Holdings determines to enter into an Acquisition Transaction to acquire Craig's warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 666,000 shares of Citadel Common Stock at $3.00 per share. The Warrant expires on April 11, 1997. The exercise price is a price per share equal to the price paid to Citadel stockholders in the Acquisition Transaction, less $3.00. If Craig exercises the Warrant, the Warrant Option will apply to the underlying shares of Citadel Common Stock and the exercise price will be the same price per share and will be paid in the same manner as the consideration paid to Citadel stockholders in the Acquisition Transaction. In the event that Holdings determines to effectuate an Acquisition Transaction, Craig can put the Preferred Stock and the Warrant (or the Common Stock underlying the Warrant) to Holdings on the same terms as if Holdings had exercised the Preferred Stock Option and the Warrant Option. Page 11 of 14 Pages Craig owns 49% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of Reading and five of the seven members of the Board of Directors of Reading are also members of the Board of Directors of Craig. James J. Cotter and S. Craig Tompkins are respectively the Chairman of the Board and President of both Craig and Reading. Together, Craig and Reading own securities representing approximately 40% of the currently outstanding voting power of Citadel. Assuming exercise in full of the conversion feature of the Citadel Preferred Stock and the Warrant, Craig and Reading would control approximately 49.9% of such voting power. Three of the five directors of Citadel are also directors of Craig, and of these three directors, two are also directors of Reading. The Chairman of the Board of Citadel is also the Chairman of the Board of each of Craig and Reading and the Vice Chairman of the Board and Principal Accounting Officer of Citadel is also a director and the President of each of Craig and Reading. Reading determined to purchase the Shares as it believes that the price and terms on which such shares were offered presented an attractive opportunity for Reading and that Citadel's real estate business and expertise complements and reflects Reading's involvement in and commitment to the land-based entertainment business. The Preferred Stock Option and the Warrant Option were acquired in order to provide to Reading the ability, should it so elect, to acquire a controlling interest in Citadel. However, no determination has been made at this time to in fact increase Reading's interest to such levels, and no assurances can be given that Reading will ultimately determine to acquire a controlling or greater interest in Citadel. Either Craig and/or Reading may, from time to time, determine to purchase additional Citadel securities or to sell their interests in some or all of such securities depending upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price at which such securities are available, the other demands upon the working capital of Craig and/or Reading, and the business prospects and opportunities available for Craig, Reading and/or Citadel. As a consequence of the sale to Reading, Craig will recognize for its tax year ended June 30, 1996, a capital loss of approximately $18 million, which may be carried forward for up to 5 years. For financial reporting purposes, the amount of loss or gain to Craig resulting from the sale of Citadel Common Stock will be de minimus. Reading and Craig have determined to file as a "group" not because of any common plan, agreement or understanding between the two companies as to the voting, acquisition or disposition of the shares, but rather to reflect the fact that Craig currently owns over 49% of the Common Stock of Reading and the overlapping Page 12 of 14 Pages composition of the boards of directors and senior management of the two companies. The officers and directors of Craig and/or Reading who also serve as officers or directors of Citadel (the "Common Management") may from time to time have information with respect to and be involved in decision making with respect to possible transactions of the sort described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D ("Covered Transactions"). To the extent that any Covered Transaction is developed or proposed by or on behalf of the Issuer, or jointly, rather than by Craig, Reading and/or Holdings, the Filers do not intend to make preemptive disclosure of such matters in filings on Schedule 13D based upon the knowledge or involvement of the Common Management. Given the dual capacities of the Common Management and the resulting importance of independent Craig, Reading and/or Holdings Board approval of any Covered Transaction involving the Issuer, the Filers do not believe that any plan or proposal for a Covered Transaction involving Craig, Reading and/or Holdings and the Issuer may be properly characterized as a plan or proposal of any one or more of the Filer(s) absent appropriate action of the Board of Directors of such Filer(s). Accordingly, the absence of any disclosure of possible Covered Transactions by the Filers should not be interpreted as an indication that no Covered Transaction is being considered or acted upon by the Issuer or being considered by members of Common Management at any given point in time. The Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement was reviewed, negotiated and approved by a special committee of the Reading Board of Directors composed of independent directors unaffiliated with Craig or Citadel. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. ------------------------------------ (a) Craig's responses in Items 7, 9, 11 and 13 of the Cover Page of this Amendment No. 24 include (1) 1,564,473 outstanding shares of Common Stock owned beneficially by Craig, (2) 666,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant (the "Warrant Shares") granted by the Issuer to Craig pursuant to a Conversion Deferral, Warrant and Reimbursement Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") as described in Amendment 15 dated April 3, 1995 and (3) 2,193,898 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") issuable upon conversion of 1,329,114 shares of 3% Cumulative Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), stated value $3.95 per share, of the Issuer, which are convertible under certain circumstances into shares of Common Stock as described in Amendments 14, 15 (dated December 7, 1994) and 15 (dated April 3, 1995) to Schedule 13D beginning February 4, 1996. The 2,193,898 Conversion Shares would be issuable assuming Craig's optional conversion in full of the Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to the "Market Price" per share as defined Page 13 of 14 Pages in the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation"), a copy of which was included as part of Exhibit A to Amendment No. 14 to this Schedule 13D. Assuming a conversion on March 27, 1996, such Market Price would have been $2.393. The actual number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by Craig by reason of the Preferred Shares may vary depending upon, assuming other things, the Market Price and the number of Shares outstanding at the time of any optional conversion and is subject to other adjustments and limitations pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation. Pending any conversion of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the conversion features of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote per share of Preferred Stock on all matters submitted to the Issuer's stockholders and will vote together with the holders of the Issuer's Common Stock as a single class with respect to such matters. The Common Stock beneficially owned by Craig, as reported above, together with the Warrant Shares and Preferred Stock, represents approximately 49.9% of the aggregate combined voting power of the outstanding shares of the Issuer assuming issuance of 2,193,898 Conversion Shares and assuming the exercise in full of the Warrant. Reading's and Holdings' responses in Items 7, 9, 11 and 13 of the Cover Page of this Schedule 13D reflect its beneficial ownership of 1,564,473 shares of Common Stock. (b) See Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Cover Pages and the information in Item 1 concerning the calculation of the combined voting power represented by the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Craig, Reading and Holdings. (c) Craig has engaged in the following transactions in Common Stock of the Issuer since the filing of Amendment No. 23 to this Schedule 13D, all of which were effectuated on the American Stock Exchange.
Shares Price Date Purchased Per Share ---- --------- --------- 12/18/95 5,500 $2.25 12/29/95 47,500 $2.25
Reading and Holdings have engaged in the transactions described above under Items 3 and 4 above. ITEM 6.

Effective at the Closing, Seller ------------------------- hereby grants to the purchaser an option (the "Preferred Purchase Option") exercisable for a period of twelve (12) months, commencing upon the later of (a) the tenth (10th) business day following the next annual meeting of the stockholders of Citadel and (b) July 1, 1996 to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Shares or such securities into which such Preferred Shares may have been converted (the "Preferred Securities"). Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the conversion feature of the Preferred Stock considered by the shareholders of Citadel at the next meeting of such Shareholders. 2.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price will be equal to the fair -------------- market value on the Preferred Securities on the date of exercise, as determined by an investment banking firm mutually and reasonably agreeable to Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that in the event that (i) Purchaser has determined to enter into an Acquisition Transaction (as such term is defined in Section 3.1, below) and (ii) Seller has, prior to the closing of any transfer following exercise of the Preferred Purchase Option, exercised its right to convert the Preferred Shares into Common Stock, then the exercise price with respect to such Common Stock shall be the same price and the form of payment will be in the same form as paid to third party shareholders of Citadel Common Stock (the "Independent Shareholders") in such Acquisition Transaction. The cost and expense of any such investment banker will be shared equally between the Purchaser and the Seller. 2.3 Form of Payment. The Exercise Price will be paid upon the --------------- closing of the sale of such Preferred Shares in the form of a further note (the "2nd Note") issued by Purchaser in the amount of the Exercise Price (less the amount of any fees paid under Section 2.5, below), which 2nd Note will be in the same form as the Note, carry interest at the same rate as specified in the Note, and have a term co-terminus with the Note. 2.4 Notice and Closing. Purchaser shall give to ------------------ Seller not less than forty-five (45) days notice of its determination to exercise the Preferred Purchase Option. Purchaser and Seller shall thereafter work in good faith to designate a mutually acceptable investment banker, so as to permit a timely closing of the sale. 2.5 Option Fee. Purchaser will pay to the Seller at the Closing an ---------- Option Fee of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) which amount will be credited against the Exercise Price in the event of the exercise by Purchaser of the Preferred Purchase Option. In the event that Purchaser wishes to extend the Preferred Purchase Option so that the total option term is two years rather than one year, Purchaser may do so at any time prior to the expiration of the Preferred Purchase Option by increasing the Option Fee paid to Seller to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) by delivery to Seller on or before the expiration of the Preferred Purchase Option the sum of an additional Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). 2.6 Assignment. This Preferred Purchase Option is personal to the ---------- Purchaser and may not be transferred to any other Person or entity without the approval of Seller, which may be withheld or granted in the sole discretion of the Seller; provided, however, that the Preferred Purchase Option may be assigned to any wholly owned subsidiary of the Purchaser without any such approval, provided that (a) the Common Shares and the Warrant Purchase Option (as defined below) are simultaneously transferred to and retained by such affiliate and (b) such affiliate executes and delivers to Seller its written agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (an "Approved Transfer"). The Preferred Purchase Option will immediately terminate upon any transfer of the Common Shares by the Purchaser, other than an Approved Transfer. 3. The Warrants. 3.1 The Warrant Purchase Option. Effective at the Closing, Seller --------------------------- hereby grants to Purchaser an option (the "Warrant Purchase Option") exercisable in the event that the Purchaser determines, by a resolution duly adopted by its Board of Directors, to proceed with an acquisition (through merger, asset purchase, tender offer or otherwise) of an equity interest in Citadel sufficient to permit the consolidation of Citadel and the Purchaser for Federal Income Tax purposes (an "Acquisition Transaction"), to acquire the Warrants simultaneously with the consummation of such transaction. It is understood that Seller will have no obligation to exercise the Warrants or to acquire the underlying Common Stock. 3.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Warrant Purchase -------------- Option will be that amount equal to the difference between $3.00 per share and the price per share being paid to Independent Shareholders in the Acquisition Transaction. Seller may elect to receive such consideration either in cash or, if Independent Shareholders are being paid in whole or in part in securities in the form of such securities. In the event that, as of the time of the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, Seller has exercised the Warrants, in whole or in part, and paid the purchase price for the underlying Common Stock, then to such extent such underlying Common Stock, and not the Warrants, will be the subject of this Warrant Purchase Option, and the exercise price with respect to such shares of Common Stock will be the same consideration as paid to Independent Shareholders. 3.3 Exercise and Closing. The Warrant Purchase Option may be -------------------- exercised at any time on not less than twenty (20) days written notice from the Purchaser to the Seller. The closing will be simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition Transaction, and the closing of the Acquisition Transaction will be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Seller to sell and of the Purchaser to purchase. 3.4 Term. The term of the Warrant Purchase Option is the same as the ---- Preferred Purchase Option as modified by Section 3.3. 3.5 Assignment. The Warrant Purchase Option is subject to the ---------- provisions of Section 2.6. 4. Seller's Put Option. In the event that Purchaser determines, by a ------------------- resolution duly adopted by its Board of Directors, to proceed with an Acquisition Transaction, then Seller will have the right to put to Purchaser the Preferred Securities, the Warrants and/or the Common Stock underlying such Warrants, as the case may be, to the Purchaser on the same terms as if the Purchaser had exercised the Preferred Purchase Option and/or the Warrant Purchase Option. 5. The Closing. The Closing will be held at 1:00 p.m., Wilmington local ----------- time, on March 29, 1996, at the offices of the Purchaser in Wilmington, Delaware, or at such other location as the parties hereto may determine. 6. Representations and Warranties. ------------------------------ 6.1 Due Authority. Each party hereby represents, subject to the ------------- receipt of appropriate Board approvals, that it has all necessary corporate power and authority and that it has taken all necessary corporate action required to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 6.2 Good Title. Seller hereby represents that it has ---------- good and marketable title to the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock and the Warrants, and that it is permitted to and will transfer such securities free and clear of all liens, claims or other encumbrances. 6.3 Unregistered Securities. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is ----------------------- an affiliate of Citadel, and that the Preferred Stock and the Warrants have not been registered with any state or federal authority and that the Preferred Stock and Warrants are not traded on any securities exchange. Accordingly, Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Common Stock, the Preferred Purchase Option and the Warrant Purchase Option in a privately negotiated transaction, with an intention to hold such securities for the indefinite future, and without any intention to engage in a public distribution of such securities. 7. Board Approval. The obligations of the Purchaser and the Seller are -------------- subject to the approval of this agreement on or before 1:00 p.m., Wilmington local time, on March 29, 1996. 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. ------------------------ 8.1 Integrated Agreement. This Agreement sets forth all of the -------------------- agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 8.2 Choice of Law. This Agreement will be interpreted in accordance ------------- with the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws govern contracts to be made and performed within such State. Any dispute between the parties with respect to this agreement will be adjudicated solely in the state or federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court. 8.3 Notices.
