ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On July 7, 1998, Citadel Communications Corporation ("CCC") consummated
the initial public offering of 6,880,796 shares of its common stock at an
initial public offering price of $16.00 per share. Of such shares, 6,250,000
shares were sold by CCC and 630,796 shares were sold by certain stockholders of
CCC. Estimated net proceeds to CCC from the offering were approximately
$92,000,000. CCC owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Citadel
Broadcasting Company (the "Company"). CCC intends to use the net proceeds of the
offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Company's credit facility.
Amounts borrowed under this credit facility have been used for acquisitions and
working capital purposes. CCC did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale
of shares by the selling stockholders.
CCC has also granted to the underwriters of the offering an
over-allotment option to purchase up to 1,032,119 additional shares of its
common stock on the same terms and conditions as the consummated offering.
