ITEM 4.   OWNERSHIP

     (A)  AMOUNT BENEFICIALLY OWNED:

          Yucaipa Blackhawk Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, is
          the record owner of 2,007,256 shares of Common Stock. Yucaipa Chicago
          Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, is the record owner
          of 253,470 shares of Common Stock. Yucaipa Dominick's Partners, L.P.,
          a California limited partnership, is the record owner of 663,333
          shares of Common Stock. Yucaipa Management L.L.C., a Delaware limited
          liability company, is the sole general partner of Yucaipa Blackhawk
          Partners, L.P., Yucaipa Chicago Partners, L.P. and Yucaipa Dominick's
          Partners, L.P. (collectively, the "Yucaipa Partnerships"), in which
          capacity it may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of
          Common Stock of Dominick's Supermarkets, Inc. (the "Issuer")
          beneficially owned by the Yucaipa Partnerships. Yucaipa Management
          L.L.C. disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities (except to
          the extent of Yucaipa Management L.L.C.'s pecuniary interest therein)
          and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an
          admission that Yucaipa Management L.L.C. is, for the purposes of
          Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
          amended (the "Act"), the beneficial owner of such securities.

          The Yucaipa Companies, a California general partnership, is the record
          holder of a currently exercisable warrant entitling it to purchase up
          to 3,874,492 shares of Common Stock, which shares it may be deemed to
          beneficially own pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1).

          Ronald W. Burkle is the sole managing member of Yucaipa Management
          L.L.C. and the controlling general partner of The Yucaipa Companies,
          and in such capacity Mr. Burkle may be deemed to be the beneficial
          owner of any shares beneficially owned by Yucaipa Management L.L.C.
          and The Yucaipa Companies. Mr. Burkle disclaims beneficial ownership
          of such securities (except to the extent of his pecuniary interest
          therein) and the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an
          admission that Mr. Burkle is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or
          13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of such securities.

          BHF - Bank Aktiengesellschaft, a German bank, is the record owner of
          7,325 shares of Class B Common Stock (as defined below.)

          Midland Montagu Private Equity Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the
          record owner of 284,152 shares of Class B Common Stock.

          In addition to the foregoing, the Yucaipa Partnerships, Mr. Burkle,
          certain affiliates of Apollo Advisors, L.P., Chase Equity Associates,
          L.P. and certain other stockholders of the Issuer, including BHF Bank
          - Aktiengesellschaft and Midland Montagu Private Equity Inc.
          (collectively, the "Investors") are parties to an Amended and Restated
          Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 1, 1996 (the "Stockholders
          Agreement") with the Issuer and Dominick's Finer Foods, Inc. A copy of
          the Stockholders Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.8 to the
          Issuer's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 2, 1996 and is
          incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Stockholders
          Agreement, certain Investors holding Common Stock (but not Investors
          holding non-voting Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
          "Class B Common Stock") of the Issuer) are required to vote their
          shares to elect to the Issuer's 11-member Board of Directors the
          persons nominated by Mr. Burkle and Apollo Investment Fund, L.P.
          (collectively nine persons). To the best of the reporting persons'
          knowledge, the Investors are the holders of record of an aggregate of
          6,418,469 shares of Common Stock which are subject to such voting
          provisions and an aggregate of 5,296,091 shares of the non-voting
          Class B Common Stock and certain other shares of Common Stock which
          are not subject to such voting provisions. Shares of Class B Common
          Stock may be converted at any time at the election of the holder into
          an equal number of shares of Common Stock. Upon such conversion the
          holders of Class B


                               Page 11 of 16 pages

<PAGE>   12



          Common Stock would become subject to the voting provisions of the
          Stockholders Agreement until such time as such shares of Common Stock
          were publicly resold. The Stockholders Agreement also contains, among
          other things, certain customary rights permitting the Investors to
          participate in private sales of shares by the Yucaipa Partnerships and
          permitting the Yucaipa Partnerships to compel the sale of the
          Investors' shares if certain requirements are satisfied.

          As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the Yucaipa Partnerships,
          Mr. Burkle and some or all of the other Investors may be deemed to
          constitute a "group." A group consisting of such persons may be deemed
          to beneficially own all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
          each of the Investors constituting such a group. The reporting persons
          do not affirm the existence of such a group and, except to the extent
          set forth above, disclaim beneficial ownership of shares of Common
          Stock beneficially owned by any other Investor.

          See Item 11 of each cover page.

     (C)  NUMBER OF SHARES AS TO WHICH SUCH PERSON HAS:
