OFFER BY SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
TO EXCHANGE UP TO 355,703 SHARES OF
CLASS A COMMON STOCK
FOR 355,703 SHARES OF
CLASS B COMMON STOCK
NACCO INDUSTRIES, INC.
Under the terms of NACCO Industries, Inc.’s certificate of incorporation and a stockholders’ agreement, shares of Class B common stock are generally not transferable except to persons who are permitted transferees as specified in those documents. In accordance with those documents, parties to the stockholders’ agreement may transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders for shares of Class A common stock, on a share for share basis. As a result, the selling stockholders named in this prospectus are offering to transfer from time to time up to 355,703 shares of our Class A common stock under this prospectus on a share for share basis, upon receipt, from time to time of shares of our Class B common stock from holders of Class B common stock that are parties to the stockholders’ agreement and are permitted to transfer those shares to the selling stockholders pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and the stockholders’ agreement. Each exchange will result in one or more of the selling stockholders transferring one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common stock transferred to the selling stockholder or selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from these transactions.
As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 446,933 shares of Class A common stock registered by the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on July 13, 2001, as amended, and declared effective on November 19, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on September 5, 2003, as amended, and declared effective on May 3, 2004, and the registration statement and prospectus initially filed on January 12, 2005, as amended, and initially declared effective on February 7, 2005. The remaining shares of Class A common stock registered by those previously filed registration statements and prospectuses are included in the 355,703 shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus. See “Selling Stockholders” beginning on page 6.
Our Class A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NC.” On March 21, 2012, the last sale price of our Class A common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange was $112.60 per share. Our Class B common stock is not publicly traded. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share.
Persons who receive shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders may resell those shares of Class A common stock in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, except that the six-month holding period requirement of Rule 144 will not apply.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, our stock price significantly declined compared with previous periods and our market value of equity was below the book value of tangible assets and the book value of equity. We performed an interim impairment test, which indicated that goodwill and certain other intangibles were impaired at December 31, 2008. Therefore, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $435.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2008.

(2)
In 2006, we initiated litigation in the Delaware Chancery Court against Applica Incorporated, or Applica, and individuals and entities affiliated with Applica's shareholder, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund, Ltd. The litigation alleged a number of contract and tort claims against the defendants related to the failed transaction with Applica, which had been previously announced. On February 14, 2011, the parties to this litigation entered into a settlement agreement. The settlement agreement provided for, among other things, the payment of $60 million to the Company and dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice. The payment was received in February 2011.
Litigation costs related to the failed transaction with Applica were $2.8 million, $18.8 million, $1.1 million and $0.8 million in 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

During 2009, North American Coal completed the sale of certain assets of the Red River Mining Company, or Red River. The results of operations of Red River are reflected as discontinued operations in the table above.

RISK FACTORS
     Prospective investors in the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby should consider carefully the following risk factors as well as the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which is incorporated into this prospectus by reference, in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference.
Risks Related to This Offering
     The voting power of holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares to the selling stockholders and receive shares of Class A common stock will diminish.
Holders of Class B common stock have ten votes per share of Class B common stock, while holders of Class A common stock have one vote per share of Class A common stock. Holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares to the selling stockholders in exchange for shares of Class A common stock will reduce their voting power.
     The voting power of the selling stockholders will increase if the selling stockholders exchange their shares of Class A common stock for shares of Class B common stock in the exchange offer.
Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock vote together on matters submitted to a vote of NACCO’s stockholders. Consequently, if holders of Class B common stock transfer their shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders, the voting power of the selling stockholders will increase. As of February 28, 2012, the selling stockholders collectively controlled 54.4% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO’s common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 28, 2012. As of that date, there were 6,793,716 shares of Class A common stock and 1,592,571 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. If all shares of Class A common stock offered by this prospectus are exchanged for shares of Class B common stock and the selling stockholders act together when voting their shares of Class B common stock, they will control 68.4% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO’s common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 28, 2012, as well as the outcome of any class vote of the Class B common stock that requires the vote of at least a majority of the outstanding Class B common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange of any shares by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
     Class A Common Stock Beneficial Ownership Table for Selling Stockholders. The following table sets forth, as of February 28, 2012, certain information with respect to the selling stockholders, including:
•
the name of each selling stockholder;
•
the number of shares of Class A common stock owned by each selling stockholder immediately prior to the sale of shares offered by this prospectus;
•
the number of shares of Class A common stock offered for exchange by each selling stockholder by this prospectus; and
•
the percentage of ownership of Class A common stock of each selling stockholder immediately following the exchange of shares offered by this prospectus based on the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding on February 28, 2012.
A total of 355,703 shares of Class A common stock is being offered by this prospectus. Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin and Roger F. Rankin, or in each case their revocable trusts, and Rankin Associates IV, L.P., or Rankin IV, are offering to exchange the following numbers of shares of Class A common stock: Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., 92,680; Thomas T. Rankin, 52,920; Claiborne R. Rankin, 29,322; Roger F. Rankin, 75,509; and Rankin IV, 105,272. Because each individual selling stockholder or his revocable trust will offer to exchange the shares, both the individual selling stockholder and his trust are listed separately in the tables below. However, each individual, together with his revocable trust, will only offer to exchange the number of shares of Class A common stock described above and, accordingly, an aggregate of 355,703 shares are being offered for exchange by this prospectus. In the tables below, the disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares for the individual selling stockholders reflects all shares deemed to be beneficially owned by such selling stockholders (including those shares held in each selling stockholder’s revocable trust). The disclosure of the beneficial ownership of shares for each selling stockholder’s revocable trust includes only those shares held directly by such trust.
Because the selling stockholders may offer all, a portion or none of the Class A common stock offered by this prospectus, we cannot assure you as to the number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders immediately following the offering. The tables below assume that the beneficial ownership of Class A common stock for each selling stockholder, including shares held directly and indirectly by an individual selling stockholder’s revocable trust, will decrease by an aggregate of the number of shares of Class A common stock described above as a result of this offering and that the beneficial ownership of Class B common stock for each selling stockholder, including shares held directly and indirectly by an individual selling stockholder’s revocable trust, will increase by the same number of shares of Class B common stock. The tables do not, however, account for any changes in each selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership that may result from transactions not contemplated by this prospectus such as an acquisition or disposition of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock.
As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 446,933 shares of the Class A common stock offered by the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on July 13, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on September 5, 2003 and the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on January 12, 2005.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK
Set forth in the following tables is the indicated information as of February 28, 2012 (except as otherwise indicated) with respect to (1) each person who is known to NACCO to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A common stock, (2) each person who is known to NACCO to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class B common stock and (3) the beneficial ownership of Class A common stock and Class B common stock by the directors, NACCO’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers of NACCO and its subsidiaries during 2011 and all executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership of Class A common stock and Class B common stock has been determined for this purpose in accordance with Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Commission under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the tables do not purport to represent beneficial ownership for any purpose other than compliance with the Commission's reporting requirements. Further, beneficial ownership as determined in this manner does not necessarily bear on the economic incidence of ownership of Class A common stock or Class B common stock.
Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to different voting rights with respect to each class of stock. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock generally vote together as a single class on matters submitted to a vote of NACCO’s stockholders.

Rankin, Jr. may be deemed to be a member of Rankin Associates II, L.P., which is referred to as Associates, which is made up of the individuals and entities holding limited partnership interests in Associates and Rankin Management, Inc., which is referred to as RMI, the general partner of Associates. Associates may be deemed to be a “group” as defined under the Exchange Act and therefore may be deemed as a group to beneficially own 338,295 shares of Class A common stock held by Associates. Although Associates holds the 338,295 shares of Class A common stock, it does not have any power to vote or dispose of such shares of Class A common stock. RMI has the sole power to vote such shares and shares the power to dispose of such shares with the other individuals and entities holding limited partnership interests in Associates. RMI exercises such powers by action of its board of directors, which acts by majority vote and consists of Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin and Roger F. Rankin, the individual trusts of whom are the shareholders of RMI. Under the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement of Associates, Associates may not dispose of Class A common stock without the consent of RMI and the approval of the holders of more than 75% of all of the partnership interests of Associates. As a result of holding through his trust, of which he is trustee, partnership interests in Associates, Mr. Rankin may be deemed to beneficially own, and share the power to dispose of, 338,295 shares of Class A common stock held by Associates. In addition, Mr. Rankin may be deemed to be a member of a group, as defined under the Exchange Act, as a result of holding through his trust, of which he is trustee, partnership interests in Rankin IV. As a result, the group consisting of Mr. Rankin, the other general and limited partners of Rankin IV and Rankin IV may be deemed to beneficially own, and share the power to vote and dispose of, 105,272 shares of Class A common stock held by Rankin IV. Mr. Rankin disclaims beneficial ownership of 513,971 shares of Class A common stock held by (a) members of Mr. Rankin's family, (b) charitable trusts, (c) trusts for the benefit of members of Mr. Rankin's family and (d) Associates and Rankin IV to the extent in excess of his pecuniary interest in each such entity.

The aggregate amount of Class A common stock beneficially owned by all executive officers and directors and the aggregate amount of Class A common stock beneficially owned by all executive officers and directors as a group for which they have shared voting or investment power include the shares of Class A common stock of which Mr. Rankin has disclaimed beneficial ownership in note (6) above, Mr. B. Taplin has disclaimed beneficial ownership in note (7) above and Mr. D. Taplin has disclaimed beneficial ownership in note (8) above.

A Schedule 13D, which was filed with the Commission with respect to Class B common stock and most recently amended on February 14, 2012, which is referred to as the Stockholders 13D, reported that, except for NACCO and PNC Bank, N.A., as depository, the signatories to the stockholders' agreement, together in certain cases with trusts and custodianships, which are referred to collectively as the Signatories, may be deemed to be a “group” as defined under the Exchange Act, and therefore may be deemed as a group to beneficially own all of the Class B common stock subject to the stockholders' agreement, which is an aggregate of 1,542,757 shares. The stockholders' agreement requires that each Signatory, prior to any conversion of such Signatory's shares of Class B common stock into Class A common stock or prior to any sale or transfer of Class B common stock to any permitted transferee (under the terms of the Class B common stock) who has not become a Signatory, offer such shares to all of the other Signatories on a pro-rata basis. A Signatory may sell or transfer all shares not purchased under the right of first refusal as long as they first are converted into Class A common stock prior to their sale or transfer. The shares of Class B common stock subject to the stockholders' agreement constituted 96.87% of the Class B common stock outstanding on February 28, 2012 or 67.90% of the combined voting power of all Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding on such date. Certain Signatories own Class A common stock , which is not subject to the stockholders' agreement. Under the stockholders' agreement, NACCO may, but is not obligated to, buy any of the shares of Class B common stock not purchased by the Signatories following the trigger of the right of first refusal. The stockholders' agreement does not restrict in any respect how a Signatory may vote such Signatory's shares of Class B common stock.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer
Under the terms of NACCO’s certificate of incorporation and a stockholders’ agreement, dated as of March 15, 1990, as amended, shares of Class B common stock are generally not transferable. Pursuant to the terms of the stockholders’ agreement to which each of the selling stockholders is a party, and NACCO’s certificate of incorporation, however, qualifying holders of Class B common stock may transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, on a share for share basis. The selling stockholders are offering to exchange up to 355,703 shares of Class A common stock with qualifying holders of Class B common stock. The selling stockholders may offer to exchange any or all of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time in varying amounts. As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders have already exchanged 446,933 shares of Class A common stock registered by the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on July 13, 2001, the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on September 5, 2003 and the registration statement and prospectus related to the exchange offer that was initially filed on January 12, 2005.
In order to be a qualifying holder of Class B common stock for purposes of this prospectus, the holder must be a party to the stockholders’ agreement and must be permitted to transfer shares of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders under NACCO’s certificate of incorporation and the stockholders’ agreement. As of February 28, 2012, the participating stockholders under the stockholders’ agreement beneficially owned 96.9% of the Class B common stock issued and outstanding on that date. Holders of shares of Class B common stock that are not subject to the stockholders’ agreement are permitted to transfer those shares subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in our certificate of incorporation, which include the ability of holders of shares of Class B common stock that are not subject to the stockholders’ agreement to transfer the shares to persons who are permitted transferees as specified in our certificate of incorporation or convert such shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Only holders of shares of Class B common stock that are subject to the stockholders’ agreement may exchange their shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus. In connection with any exchange of Class B common stock to the selling stockholders, we may require from each holder of Class B common stock documents that evidence the permitted nature of the exchange under NACCO’s certificate of incorporation.
The Class A common stock offered for exchange by the selling stockholders is entitled to one vote per share. The Class B common stock that will be transferred by qualifying holders to the selling stockholders is entitled to ten votes per share.
Persons who receive shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders may resell those shares of Class A common stock in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, except that the six-month holding period requirement of Rule 144 will not apply.
Any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters that participate in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares of Class A common stock by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
In order to comply with the securities laws of specific states, sales of shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus to qualifying holders of Class B common stock in some states may be made only through broker-dealers who are registered or licensed in those states.
We have been advised by the selling stockholders that they have not, as of the date of this prospectus, entered into any arrangement with an agent, broker-dealer or underwriter for the sale of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus owned by them.
Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters involved in the transactions contemplated by this prospectus may engage in transactions with, and perform investment banking and advisory services for, us.
Agents, broker-dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements entered into with us and the selling stockholders to indemnification by us and the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or

to contribution with respect to payments which those agents, broker-dealers or underwriters may be required to make.
Accounting Treatment

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exchange by holders of shares of Class B common stock of NACCO for shares of Class A common stock of NACCO pursuant to this prospectus. No ruling has been or will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service concerning the tax consequences of an exchange. Persons acquiring shares of Class A common stock by exchanging shares of their Class B common stock with the selling stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an exchange to them, including the effects of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
     Tax Consequences of an Exchange
Subject to the following assumptions, limitations and qualifications, in the opinion of Jones Day, counsel to NACCO, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
•
gain or loss will generally not be recognized by the holders of shares of Class B common stock upon the exchange of their shares of Class B common stock for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus;
•
the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares of Class A common stock received in an exchange for shares of Class B common stock pursuant to this prospectus will be equal to the aggregate adjusted basis of the shares of Class B common stock exchanged for those shares of Class A common stock; and
•
the holding period of the shares of Class A common stock received in an exchange for shares of Class B common stock pursuant to this prospectus will include the holding period of the holder’s shares of Class B common stock exchanged for that Class A common stock.
     Considerations with Respect to Discussion and Tax Opinion
The tax opinion of Jones Day is and will be subject to the following assumptions, limitations and qualifications:
The opinion addresses only the specified material U.S. federal income tax consequences of an exchange. It does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences of an exchange.
The opinion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular stockholder in light of his, her or its personal investment circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation, (1) certain U.S. expatriates, (2) stockholders that hold NACCO Class A or Class B common stock as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, (3) financial institutions, (4) tax-exempt entities, (5) insurance companies, (6) dealers in securities or foreign currency, (7) traders that mark-to-market, (8) stockholders who acquired their shares of Class B common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan, and (9) foreign corporations, foreign partnerships or other foreign entities and individuals who are not citizens or residents of the United States.
The opinion does not address the tax consequences of any transaction other than an exchange pursuant to this prospectus.
The opinion is based upon the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions all in effect as of February 29, 2012, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and which are subject to differing interpretations. Jones Day assumes no obligation to advise NACCO or the holders of Class B common stock of such changes.
The opinion assumes that holders of Class B common stock hold their stock as a capital asset within the meaning of section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The opinion assumes that each exchange of Class B common stock for Class A common stock will be consummated in accordance with the descriptions contained in this prospectus.
The opinion assumes that the fair market value of the Class A common stock to be received in any exchange and the fair market value of the Class B common stock to be delivered in any exchange will be approximately equal in value.

18
Table of Contents

The opinion assumes that none of the Class B common stock transferred to any selling stockholder in any exchange will be subject to a liability, and no selling stockholder that is a party to any exchange will assume any liabilities of a holder of Class B common stock in connection with the exchange.
The opinion assumes that NACCO and the holders of Class B common stock who transfer their shares pursuant to an exchange will each pay their respective expenses, if any, incurred in connection with an exchange.
The opinion assumes that the representations contained in a tax certification letter addressed to Jones Day from NACCO, as well as the assumptions set forth in the preceding paragraphs, are accurate at all material times, including the date of any exchange pursuant to this prospectus. The representations contained in the tax certification letter are statements of fact material to the determination as to whether gain or loss will be recognized as a result of an exchange.
The opinion of Jones Day is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service and does not preclude it from adopting a contrary position. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which the discussion and opinion rely are inconsistent with the actual facts, the conclusions reached therein could be adversely affected.

LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of Class A common stock offered for exchange hereby has been passed upon for NACCO by Charles A. Bittenbender, its Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Bittenbender beneficially owned 17,891 shares of our Class A common stock as of February 28, 2012.
