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, 2014, 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, 2015, the selling stockholders collectively controlled 72.9% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO's common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 28, 2015. As of that date, there were 5,610,926 shares of Class A common stock and 1,572,847 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 77.36% of the voting power of outstanding shares of NACCO's common stock based on the number of outstanding shares as of February 28, 2015, 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.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Class A Common Stock Beneficial Ownership Table for Selling Stockholders. The following table sets forth, as of February 28, 2015, 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, 2015. |
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 or the number of shares held by such a trust 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.

("Associates"), which is made up of the individuals and entities holding limited partnership interests in Associates and Rankin Management, Inc. ("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 held by Associates.

(12) | J.C. Butler, Jr., an executive officer of NACCO, is deemed to be a member of Associates and, accordingly, may be deemed to beneficially own, and share the power to dispose of, 338,295 shares of Class A Common held by Associates. In addition, Mr. Butler may be deemed to share with his spouse voting and investment power over 60,386 shares of Class A Common beneficially owned by his spouse; he disclaims all interest in such shares.

(1) | A Schedule 13D, which was filed with the SEC with respect to Class B Common and most recently amended on February 13, 2015 ("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 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 into Class A Common or prior to any sale or transfer of Class B Common to any permitted transferee (under the terms of the Class B Common) 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 prior to their sale or transfer. The shares of Class B Common subject to the stockholders' agreement constituted 98.09% of the Class B Common outstanding on February 28, 2015 or 72.30% of the combined voting power of all Class A Common and Class B Common outstanding on such date. Certain Signatories own Class A Common, 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 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. |

interests in Rankin I may be deemed to be a “group” as defined under the Exchange Act and therefore may be deemed as a group to beneficially own 472,371 shares of Class B Common held by Rankin I. Although Rankin I holds the 472,371 shares of Class B Common, it does not have any power to vote or dispose of such shares of Class B Common. Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R.

Voting actions are determined by the general partners owning at least a majority of the general partnership interests of Rankin I.

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, 2015, the participating stockholders under the stockholders' agreement beneficially owned 98.09% 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.

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 March 6, 2015, 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.
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 former Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Bittenbender beneficially owned 17,891 shares of our Class A common stock as of February 28, 2015.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers.
The Company’s By-laws provide in Article VI that the Company will indemnify its directors, officers and employees and each person who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent, or as an administrator or fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the full extent permitted by statute.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted under standards similar to those set forth in the paragraph above, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that, to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person will be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 (unless ordered by a court) will be made by a corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145; that expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and that a corporation is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under Section 145.

Item. 22. Undertakings.
| |
(a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low and high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 and 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
