ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     On September 3, 1999, Citation Corporation (the "Registrant") and RSJ
Acquisition Co. entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
and Recapitalization dated as of June 24, 1999, between RSJ Acquisition Co. and
the Registrant (the "Merger Agreement"). On September 9, 1999, the Registrant
issued a press release announcing the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Merger
Agreement. The Registrant also announced that the Registrant's definitive proxy
statement/prospectus regarding its proposed merger with RSJ Acquisition Co. had
been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and was being mailed to
all stockholders of record as of August 27, 1999, the record date for the
special meeting of stockholders to be held on October 7, 1999. A copy of
Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement and the related press release are
attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1, respectively, to this Form 8-K and are
incorporated herein by reference.

     In connection with its offering of Senior Subordinated Notes as part of the
financing for the merger and recapitalization transactions, the Registrant has
provided certain pro forma unaudited financial information for the twelve-month
period ended August 29, 1999. Sales for such period were $821.8 million and pro
forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
were $96.99 million. Such information, which is subject to further review and
potential material adjustment, gives effect to the acquisitions by the
Registrant during such period of its Custom Products and Citation Marion
divisions, the disposition of its Oberdorfer division and the recapitalization
and merger and the related financings as if they had occurred on the first day
of the period presented. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
information, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K,
differs somewhat from unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information
provided in the proxy statement/prospectus described above, because of recent
revisions to estimated interest rates.

     The Senior Subordinated Notes referred to above are being offered in a
private placement pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and, if issued, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

               ----------------------------

     suit, action, proceeding judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order

                             -
     hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "Company Stockholders Meeting") for
     the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and (ii) shall,
                                                                    --
     through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders (X) the
                                                                    -

                                     -
     Non-Cash Election with respect to any share of Company Common Stock, unless
     in the cases of clauses (i) or (ii), the Board of Directors of the Company
     shall have withdrawn or modified its approval or recommendation of this
     Agreement or the Merger and terminated this Agreement in accordance with
     Section 4.04(b)."

          7.   Amendment to Section 5.04.  Section 5.04 of the Merger Agreement
               -------------------------
is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          "(a) Each Company Stock Option to purchase shares of the Company
     Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Plans (including, without
     limitation, any additional shares subject thereto by reason of the
     consummation of the "change of control" resulting from the Merger) that is
     outstanding and not yet vested or exercisable immediately prior to the
     Effective Time, including the Rollover Options (as defined below), shall
     become fully vested and exercisable upon the Effective Time.  At or prior
     to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if
     appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall
     adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be necessary to
     cause each such Company Stock Option to vest as a consequence of the
     Merger.
<PAGE>

          (b) At the Effective Time, each holder of a then outstanding Company
     Stock Option whether or not then exercisable, other than the Rollover
     Options, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Company Common
     Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, in settlement and cancellation
     thereof, an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax) in cash
     equal to the difference between the Merger Consideration and the per share
     exercise price of such Company Stock Option, to the extent such difference
     is a positive number (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the
     "Option Consideration").  Upon the Effective Time, the Surviving
     Corporation shall pay to each holder of a Company Stock Option (other than
     a Rollover Option) the Option Consideration in respect thereof.  No
     interest shall be paid or accrued on the Option Consideration.  Until
     settled in accordance with this Section 5.04(b), each Company Stock Option
     (other than a Rollover Option) shall be deemed at any time after the
     Effective Time to represent for all purposes only the right to receive the
     Option Consideration.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.04, with
     respect to any person subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, the
     Option Consideration shall not be payable until the first day payment can
     be made without liability to such person under Section 16(b) of the
     Exchange Act, but shall be paid as soon as practicable thereafter.

          (d) The surrender of a Company Stock Option to the Company in exchange
     for the Option Consideration shall be deemed a release of any and all
     rights the holder thereof had or may have had in respect of such Company
     Stock Option.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all
     action necessary (including causing the Board of Directors of the Company
     (or any committees thereof) to take such actions as are allowed by the
     Company Stock Option Plans) to ensure that, following the Effective Time,
     no participant in any Company Stock Plan (other than holders of Rollover
     Options with respect to such Rollover Options) shall have any right
     thereunder to acquire equity securities of the Company, the Surviving
     Corporation or any subsidiary thereof.

          (e) Each holder of a Rollover Option shall thereafter continue to hold
     an option to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the
     Surviving Corporation, at such exercise prices and having such other terms
     and conditions, as such holder enjoyed with respect to Company Common Stock
     under such holder's Rollover Options, except as may be amended by agreement
     between Merger Co. or the Surviving Corporation and such holder.  "Rollover
     Options" means the Company Stock Options (i) as to which Merger Co. and the
     holder of such Company Stock Option have agreed will remain outstanding
     after the Effective Time and (ii) which shall have been identified to the
     Company no less than 10 days prior to the Closing Date, such identification
     to be in the form of a written notice signed by the holder in question and
     Merger Co.

          (f)  Upon the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock
     subscribed to under the Stock Purchase Plan (other than such shares for
     which a valid Non-Cash Election shall have been made) shall (without
     duplication for any amounts that are paid with respect to such shares
     pursuant to Section 2.01(c)) be canceled and shall thereafter represent the
     right to receive in the Merger the difference between the Merger
     Consideration and the unpaid portion, if any, of the per share subscription
     price for such share.
<PAGE>

          (g)  At or prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the
     Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock
     Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be
     necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.04."

          8.   Amendment to Section 5.16.  Section 5.16 of the Merger Agreement
               -------------------------
is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          "SECTION 5.16.  [Intentionally Omitted]"

          9.   Amendment to Section 5.17.  Section 5.17 of the Merger Agreement
               -------------------------
is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          "SECTION 5.17.  [Intentionally Omitted]"

          10.  Amendment to Section 6.02(d).  Section 6.02(d) of the Merger
               ----------------------------
Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          "(d)  [Intentionally Omitted]"

          11.  References.  Each reference in the Merger Agreement to "this
               ----------
Agreement", "hereof", "hereunder" or words of like import referring to the
Merger Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Merger Agreement as
amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or
waiver of any provision of the Merger Agreement not expressly referred to herein
and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or consent to any action that
would require an amendment, waiver or consent except as expressly stated herein.
The Merger Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be
in full force and effect and is in all respects ratified and confirmed hereby.

          12.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of
               ------------
counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Amendment.

          13.  Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by, and
               -------------
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of
law.
<PAGE>

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to
be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

     BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1999--Citation Corporation
(Nasdaq:CAST - news) today announced that it has filed with the Securities and
        ----   ----
Exchange Commission its definitive proxy statement/prospectus regarding its
proposed merger with RSJ Acquisition Co., an affiliate of Kelso & Company. The
proxy statement/prospectus is being mailed today to all stockholders of record
on August 27, 1999, each of whom will be entitled to vote on the proposed merger
at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on October 7, 1999.

     Under the merger agreement first announced on June 24, 1999, RSJ
Acquisition Co. agreed to purchase approximately 95.6% of the outstanding shares
of Citation for $18.10 per share, with the remaining approximately 4.4% of the
outstanding shares to be retained by existing stockholders (either at their
election or on a pro rata basis). At the insistence of Kelso & Company, certain
existing stockholders, including the company's founder and chairman, T. Morris
Hackney, and other executive officers, have agreed to elect to retain the 4.4%
``stub.'' As a result of these elections, all stockholders electing to receive
cash for their shares are assured of receiving all cash at closing, while
stockholders may elect to retain stock (subject to proration and a 10,000 share
minimum election discussed below) if they desire to do so. Citation's Board of
Directors recommends that stockholders elect to receive cash in the proposed
merger.

     The Company also announced that the merger agreement has been amended to
allow stockholders to retain shares (in lieu of cash) only if they elect to
retain at least 10,000 shares and to eliminate the requirement that such shares
be listed for trading on Nasdaq. The merger agreement, as amended, also provides
that certain Citation employees may continue to hold their options to acquire
Citation common stock after the proposed merger (as opposed to the cancellation
of those options for cash at closing). The proxy statement/prospectus being
mailed to stockholders today discusses these and other amendments to the merger
agreement in greater detail. Citation's Board of Directors recommends that
stockholders vote to adopt the merger agreement, as amended.

     Citation Corporation is a metal components supplier to capital and durable
goods industries. The company currently operates 20 manufacturing divisions in
10 states and employs more than 7,000 employees. Its sales for fiscal 1999,
ending at the end of September, are expected to exceed $800 million.

     Note: This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, which
Citation Corporation is making in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that
all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements
as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the
successful closing of the proposed transaction and risks associated with
acquisitions generally. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are described
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

            NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
                             (dollars in thousands)

   The pro forma financial data have been derived by the application of pro
forma adjustments to Citation's historical financial statements as of the date
noted. The merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization which will have
no impact on the historical basis of Citation's assets and liabilities. The pro
forma financial data assume that no stockholders assert appraisal rights in
connection with the merger.

   (a) Pro forma adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance
Sheet are summarized in the following table and are described in the notes that
follow:

- ---------------------
(2) The adjustments represent the payment of the cash portion of the merger
    consideration to existing stockholders. Subsequent to the merger, existing
    stockholders will own 790,115 shares, or approximately 7.0%, of the
    outstanding common stock of Citation as the surviving corporation.
(3) Compensation expense of $3,278 ($1,967 after related tax effect) relates to
    the cancellation of all outstanding stock options at the difference between
    $18.10 per share and the exercise price of the options and $1,663 relates
    to the payment of accrued benefits under Citation's non-qualified deferred
    compensation plan.
(4) The adjustment represents the estimated transaction fees and expenses of
    $30,800. The portion of estimated transaction fees and expenses
    attributable to the debt financing is $16,200, which will be recorded as
    debt issuance costs and therefore amortized over the expected life of the
    debt to be issued. Such estimated debt issuance costs include estimated
    fees and expenses payable to banks and related advisors. The remaining
    estimated transaction fees and expenses of $14,600 represent costs
    associated with the payment of the cash portion of the merger consideration
    to existing stockholders.
(5) This adjustment represents the repayment of existing indebtedness, except
    for capital leases, related accrued interest and the write-off of
    unamortized debt issuance costs related to the existing debt. The
    unamortized debt issuance costs of $652 ($391 after related tax effect)
    will be written off as an extraordinary charge upon repayment of the
    existing indebtedness.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
                             (dollars in thousands)

   The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial data have been derived by the
application of pro forma adjustments to Citation's historical financial
statements for the periods indicated. The merger has been accounted for as a
recapitalization, which will have no impact on the historical basis of
Citation's assets and liabilities. The pro forma financial data assume that no
stockholders assert appraisal rights in connection with the merger.

   The pro forma adjustments to the statements of income exclude $3,278 ($1,967
after related tax effect) of employee compensation expense relating to the
cancellation of the existing stock options and $652 ($391 after related tax
effect) related to the write-off of existing unamortized debt issuance costs.
These amounts represent non-recurring expenses which Citation anticipates will
be recorded in its consolidated statement of income concurrent with the
effective date of the merger.

(a) The following acquisitions, both individually and in the aggregate, did not
    constitute acquisitions of "significant subsidiaries," within the meaning
    of SEC rules regarding financial reporting. The unaudited pro forma
    statement of income for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998 gives
    effect to the acquisitions of Camden Casting Center ("Camden"), which
    occurred on December 1, 1997, Dycast, Inc. ("Dycast"), which occurred on
    January 8, 1998, Amcast Precision Products, Inc. ("Citation Precision"),
    which occurred on March 30, 1998, Custom Products Corporation ("Custom"),
    which occurred on November 17, 1998, and CT South Inc. ("Citation Marion"),
    which occurred on December 28, 1998, as if each such acquisition had
    occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma
    statements of income for the nine months ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve
    months ended August 1, 1999 give effect to the acquisitions of Custom and
    Citation Marion as if they had occurred at the beginning of the periods
    presented.

(b) For the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998, the nine month period ended
    June 27, 1999 and the twelve months ended August 1, 1999, the adjustments
    represent the (i) reduced depreciation expense, reflected in cost of sales,
    related to the net write down of fixed assets in purchase accounting of
    ($13,567) amortized primarily over a 12-year life; (ii) additional goodwill
    amortization, reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses,
    based on the fair values of the net assets acquired of $51,734 amortized
    over a 20-year life; (iii) additional interest expense on the increased
    borrowings of $98,234 at weighted average interest rates of 7.28%, 7.00%
    and 7.00%, respectively; and (iv) the pro forma tax effect of the above
    adjustments.

(c) Represents an adjustment for the historical operating results of the
    Oberdorfer Industries facility, which was sold on June 16, 1999. The sale
    of the Oberdorfer Industries facility did not constitute a disposition of a
    "significant subsidiary," within the meaning of SEC rules regarding
    financial reporting.

(d) Represents (i) an annual monitoring fee of $848 that will be paid by
    Citation to Kelso & Company; (ii) reduced compensation expense of $755,
    $351, and $464 for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998; the nine month
    period ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve months ended August 1, 1999 for
    executives whose employment with Citation will not continue after the
    merger; and (iii) reduced costs associated with certain public company
    related expenses of $212, $266 and $324 for the fiscal year ended September
    27, 1998; the nine month period ended June 27, 1999 and the twelve months
    ended August 1, 1999 that will not continue after the merger.

(f) Represents the tax effect of the recapitalization and offering adjustments.
(g) EBITDA is defined, for any period, as income before interest expense,
    provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expenses
    (income) and impairment charge. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
    accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service and/or incur
    indebtedness. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income
    as a measure of Citation's operating results or to cash flow as a measure
    of liquidity. In addition, although the EBITDA measure of performance is
    not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles, it is widely
    used by various companies as a general measure of a company's performance
    because it assists in comparing performance on a relatively consistent
    basis across companies without regard to depreciation and amortization,
    which can vary significantly depending on accounting methods (particularly
    where acquisitions are involved) or non-operating factors such as
    historical costs bases. Because EBITDA is not calculated identically by all
    companies, the presentation herein may not be strictly comparable to other
    similarly titled measures of other companies.
(h) For purposes of computing this ratio, earnings are defined as operating
    income. Fixed charges consist of (i) interest, whether expensed or
    capitalized; (ii) amortization of debt issuance costs; and (iii) that
    portion of rental expense considered to represent an appropriate interest
    factor.
