Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         Item 4 is amended to add at the end thereof the following paragraphs:

         Each member of the Rosemore Group from time to time intends to review
his, her or its, as the case may be, investment in Crown on the basis of various
factors, including Crown's business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects, general economic and industry conditions and the securities
markets in general and those for Crown's securities in particular, as well as
other developments and other investment opportunities. Each member of the
Rosemore Group will also consider his, her or its, as the case may be, personal
financial situation, including

                                  Page 2 of 6

<PAGE>


liquidity, alternative investment opportunities and tax and estate planning
considerations. Based upon such review, each member of the Rosemore Group will
take such actions in the future as he, she or it, as the case may be, may deem
appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.

         On February 25, 1999, Crown announced that it had engaged Credit Suisse
First Boston ("CSFB") as financial advisor to provide Crown with financial
advice and assistance in evaluating strategic alternatives. Except to the extent
that Henry A. Rosenberg, Jr. participates as a result of his role as an officer
and director of Crown, neither Rosemore nor any other member of the Rosemore
Group has participated in Crown's review of its strategic alternatives. As part
of the Rosemore Group's continuing review of its investment in Crown, however,
members of the Rosemore Group have sought to anticipate the strategic
alternatives that Crown may choose to pursue.

         On January 18, 2000, representatives of CSFB, after discussion with the
independent members of the Board of Directors of Crown, invited Rosemore to make
a proposal concerning Crown and offered to make available to Rosemore
information concerning Crown which previously had been made available to other
interested parties. On January 26, 2000, Crown and Rosemore executed a
confidentiality agreement which is also expected to be executed by Henry A.
Rosenberg, Jr., Ruth Carol R. Marder and Judith R. Hoffberger, and Rosemore
commenced its review of such information. There can be no assurance that, upon
completion of such review, any member of the Rosemore Group will alter its
purpose in acquiring Crown securities or develop any plan or proposal which
might have the effects described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D with respect to Crown.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer

         Paragraph 6 of Item 6 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as
follows:

         Under the will of Henrietta Blaustein, Henry A. Rosenberg, Jr. and
First Union National Bank ("First Union"), a national banking association, are
trustees of three trusts (the "Blaustein Testamentary Trusts") for the benefit
of Mr. Rosenberg, Judith R. Hoffberger and Ruth Carol R. Marder, respectively.
Lisa J. Bertelsen (Ruth Carol R. Marder's daughter) is also a trustee of the
Blaustein Testamentary Trust for the benefit of Ruth Carol R. Marder, Jeffrey A.
Hoffberger (Judith R. Hoffberger's son) is also a trustee of the Blaustein
Testamentary Trust for the benefit of Judith R. Hoffberger, and Edward L.
Rosenberg (Henry A. Rosenberg, Jr.'s son) is also a trustee of the Blaustein
Testamentary Trust for the benefit of Henry A. Rosenberg, Jr. The Blaustein
Testamentary Trusts own a total of 1,869 shares of Rosemore.

         Paragraph 8 of Item 6 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

         Mrs. Hoffberger's son Jeffrey A. Hoffberger owns 710 shares of Crown
Class A Common Stock.
