SECURITY AND ISSUER Reference is made to the Schedule 13D filed on April 15, 2010 (the "Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on April 23, 2010 ("Amendment No. 1"), relating to the common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at: City Center West, Suite 400, 7201 West Lake Mead Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89128. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment amends Items 3, 4 and 5 as set forth below. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: The Common Stock purchased by the Aurelius Funds was acquired with working capital in open market transactions at an aggregate cost (excluding commissions, if any) of approximately $2,079,768.25. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: The Aurelius Funds, which for the purposes of this Item 4 shall include Aurelius Convergence Master, Ltd. and Aurelius Capital Master, Ltd., acquired shares of Common Stock for investment in the ordinary course of business because they believed that the shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. On December 20, 2009, the Issuer and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Case"). On April 21, 2010, the Aurelius Funds filed a preliminary objection in the Bankruptcy Case to confirmation of the Debtors' First Modified Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"). On May 7, 2010, the Aurelius Funds filed a supplemental brief in support of their objection to the Plan. This opposition rests on various grounds, most fundamentally on the allegation that the Plan violates the absolute priority rule by overpaying senior creditors and providing no distribution to shareholders of the Debtors and that therefore the Plan is not confirmable under bankruptcy law. In particular, it is the Aurelius Funds' view that the Plan would convey value to the Debtors' prepetition lenders (the "Lenders") in excess of the face amount of their claims (including alleged deficiency claims) against the Debtors. The Plan provides that the Debtors' Lenders would receive over 90% of new common stock of the Issuer and management would receive options equivalent to up to 10% of new common stock under a management incentive program, which could enrich the Debtors' management by more than $100 million. The objection alleges that the Plan rests on a valuation of the Issuer that is far below the reorganized Debtors' true value and is based on unreliable financial projections which do not reflect the Debtors' recent performance or the marked improvements in financial markets for broadcast companies. In addition, the Aurelius Funds believe that the Debtors' solicitation of the Plan did not comply with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Aurelius Funds believe that the value of the Debtors is significantly greater than the value as described in the Disclosure Statement of the Plan. The Aurelius funds have also engaged in discovery related to their objection. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- CUSIP No. 17285T106 SCHEDULE 13D Page 9 of 10 Pages ---------------------------- ---------------------------- The Aurelius Funds intend to pursue and prosecute the objection, described above, and may file related pleadings, respond to pleadings filed by other parties, discuss the formulation of alternative plans with other parties, serve and prosecute discovery and respond to the same, appeal any adverse decisions and respond to any appeals, and more generally become actively involved in the Bankruptcy Case, with the goal of protecting and maximizing the value of the Aurelius Funds' respective investments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, rules and regulations, the Reporting Persons may seek to influence the outcome of the Bankruptcy Case, including, among other things, through (i) direct and/or indirect communications with participants in the Bankruptcy Case and (ii) direct and/or indirect communications with other persons, including other stockholders or creditors of the Issuer. Except as set forth herein or as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and may (i) acquire additional shares or securities of the Issuer, (ii) dispose of any or all of their securities of the Issuer, (iii) enter into or withdraw from legal proceedings, if any, and/or (iv) enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of their positions in the securities of the Issuer, depending upon the factors described below and/or other investment considerations. The Reporting Persons disclaim all duties or obligations, if any, to other stakeholders in the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, the Reporting Persons do not have any current intention to change or influence the control of the Issuer. The Debtors have alleged in the Bankruptcy Case that the Reporting Persons have violated an order limiting the rights to acquire the Issuer's stock and have sought to force the Reporting Persons to sell their shares; it is the Reporting Persons' belief that these allegations are without merit and they have filed a response to such allegations. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER ITEMS 5(a) and (b) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: (a),(b) The information set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover page hereto for each Reporting Person is incorporated herein by reference. The percentage amount set forth in Row 13 for all cover pages filed herewith is calculated based on 265,686,233 shares of Common Stock outstanding as set forth in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010 filed by the Issuer on May 7, 2010. Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: The Aurelius Funds entered into transactions in the Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 1, which are set forth on Schedule A. Schedule A also amends and restates the trades listed on Amendment No. 1 for April 22, 2010. The Aurelius Funds are the only Reporting Persons to have effected transactions in the Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 1. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- CUSIP No. 17285T106 SCHEDULE 13D Page 10 of 10 Pages ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
