Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 22, 2012, NACCO Industries, Inc.’s (“NACCO”) wholly owned subsidiary, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc. (“NMHG”), as borrower, and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of NMHG, as guarantors, entered into a term loan agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent, and the other lenders party thereto, Arranged by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, that provides for term loans up to an aggregate principal amount of $130.0 million. The proceeds of the loans under the Term Loan Agreement, together with available cash on hand, were used to repay NMHG’s outstanding term loan entered into in 2006. The Term Loan Agreement requires quarterly repayments of $4.6 million each through September 2017 with the balance under the Term Loan Agreement due in December 2017.

The obligations under the Term Loan Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of NMHG’s domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of NMHG and the guarantors under the Term Loan Agreement are secured by a first lien on all of the intellectual property and property, plant and equipment owned by NMHG and each guarantor and a second lien on all the personal property and assets other than the intellectual property and property, plant and equipment of NMHG and each guarantor. The lenders under the Term Loan Agreement and the lenders under NMHG Holding Co.’s second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) have entered into an intercreditor arrangement governing the rights of each of them with respect to the collateral securing their respective obligations.

Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at NMHG’s option, a base rate plus a margin of 3.00% or LIBOR, as defined in the Term Loan Agreement, plus a margin of 4.00%.

The Term Loan Agreement includes restrictive covenants, which, among other things, limit the payment of dividends by NMHG. NMHG may pay dividends subject to maintaining a certain level of availability under the Credit Facility prior to and upon payment of a dividend and achieving the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio specified in the Credit Facility. The Term Loan Agreement also requires NMHG to comply with a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Certain of the banks and financial institutions that are parties to the Term Loan Agreement and their respective affiliates have in the past provided, are currently providing and in the future may continue to provide investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to NACCO and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and will receive customary compensation. In the ordinary course of business, such banks and financial institutions and their respective affiliates may participate in loans and actively trade the equity securities of NACCO for their own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, such banks and financial institutions and their respective affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

The foregoing summary of the Term Loan Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
