Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     ANNUAL INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS
     On March 28, 2008, the Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors of NACCO Industries, Inc., which is referred to as NACCO, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc., which is referred to as HBB, NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., which is referred to as NMHG, and The North American Coal Corporation, which is referred to as NA Coal, each adopted a 2008 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, which are respectively referred to as the NACCO Annual Incentive Plan, the HBB Annual Incentive Plan, the NMHG Annual Incentive Plan and the NA Coal Annual Incentive Plan and are collectively referred to as the Annual Incentive Plans, for the benefit of certain of their respective executive and management employees.
     Additionally, performance criteria were established for the Annual Incentive Plans and the NACCO Industries, Inc. Supplemental Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, which is referred to as the NACCO Supplemental Plan.
     The Annual Incentive Plans and the NACCO Supplemental Plan provide that each participant is eligible to earn a target incentive award during the award term of January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Final payouts for each individual under the Annual Incentive Plans and the NACCO Supplemental Plan are based on the participant’s target award measured against established performance criteria and performance by the participant against individual goals for the January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 performance period. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of each of NACCO, HBB, NMHG and NA Coal, which are collectively referred to as the Compensation Committees, in its discretion, may also increase or decrease awards under its respective company’s Annual Incentive Plan and may approve the payment of awards where performance would otherwise not meet the minimum criteria set for payment of awards. Under the NACCO Supplemental Plan, however, there are no individual performance goals and the NACCO Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may only decrease the awards that are payable to the named executive officers under the NACCO Supplemental Plan. Payouts under the Annual Incentive Plans and the NACCO Supplemental Plan generally range from 0% to 150% of the participant’s target award amount.
     For 2008, the performance criteria under the Annual Incentive Plans and the NACCO Supplemental Plan are as follows:
