[S-8] NACCO Industries, Inc. Employee Benefit Plan Registration

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

NACCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NC) filed a Form S-8 to register an additional 169,848 shares of its Class A common stock for issuance under the Amended & Restated Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation Plan, effective May 14 2025. When combined with previously registered amounts, the Plan now covers 200,000 shares.

The filing, made on August 7 2025, incorporates by reference prior S-8 registrations (Nos. 333-217900, 333-231315, 333-256445) and all Exchange Act reports filed after the effective date. NACCO is classified as an accelerated filer and a smaller reporting company. Standard undertakings, a filing-fee table, Ernst & Young LLP’s consent, and a power of attorney are included among the exhibits.

No changes to the Plan terms or financial guidance are disclosed; the document solely expands the pool of shares available for non-employee director equity awards.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR – Routine S-8 registers 169,848 more shares; neutral impact.

This Form S-8 is an administrative action that modestly enlarges the share reserve for director compensation, bringing the total to 200,000 shares. The amount is immaterial relative to NACCO’s total shares outstanding and does not alter capital structure meaningfully. No financial metrics, option pricing, or plan amendments affecting dilution are provided. Consequently, the filing is unlikely to influence valuation or near-term trading dynamics. Investors should monitor subsequent 10-Q/8-K filings for any actual equity issuances under the Plan, but this registration itself is operationally neutral.

As filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2025.

Item 9. 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;

(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 or 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 Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, 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;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, 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 of 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 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
