Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 20, 2011, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. ("HBB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc., announced that after careful evaluation, HBB has decided not to renew its ongoing monitoring and maintenance credit ratings with Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and Moody's Investor Services ("Moody's"). HBB determined that the benefits of continuing the credit ratings on its remaining $114.6 million of term loans do not justify the ongoing costs of maintaining ratings with these agencies. HBB informed S&P and Moody's of this decision which, more than likely, will result in S&P and Moody's withdrawing their ratings on HBB's term loans. The current ratings from S&P and Moody's on the term loans are B+/Stable and B1/Stable, respectively.
HBB is a leading designer, marketer and distributor of small electric household appliances, as well as commercial products for restaurants, bars and hotels. Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 was $515.7 million.
