ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
     David L. Pugh, Chairman and CEO of Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (“Applied”), entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, dated February 11, 2008, pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b5-1. This rule permits individuals who are not then in possession of material nonpublic information to establish prearranged plans to buy or sell stock in the future, regardless of subsequent material nonpublic information.
     Under the plan, Mr. Pugh intends to sell up to 170,000 shares of Applied common stock from time to time between February 15, 2008 and April 30, 2008, subject to the market price of our stock. Mr. Pugh’s ownership interest is in excess of the stock ownership guidelines established by Applied’s Board of Directors. The plan will facilitate the orderly sale of stock for personal financial planning purposes with the goals of minimizing market impact and avoiding concerns about the timing of the transactions.
     No sales were made under Mr. Pugh’s previous 10b5-1 plan, which expired on January 24, 2008.
SIGNATURE
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
