Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe our comment applies to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Response letter dated April 3, 2020 General 1. We note your response to prior comment 1, however, it continues to appear that Form S-4 does not permit the registration of this transaction. Please amend accordingly. With respect to your response to prior comment 2, although relying on an exemption from registration may not provide the same level of liquidity, it continues to appear that the exchange offer can and should be conducted privately. Once the transactions are completed privately, you may then register the resale of the Class A shares. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff. Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate John Neumann NACCO INDUSTRIES INC April 10, 2020 Page 2 time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement.
