Stockholders' Equity and Earnings Per Share

Stockholders' Equity and Earnings Per Share

NACCO Industries, Inc. Class A common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “NC.” Because of transfer restrictions on Class B common stock, no trading market has developed, or is expected to develop, for the Company's Class B common stock. The Class B common stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the request of the holder. The Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock have the same cash dividend rights per share. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, any distribution of earnings would be allocated to Class A and Class B stockholders on a proportionate basis, and accordingly the net income per share for each class of common stock is identical. The Class A common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The total number of authorized shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock at December 31, 2023 was 25,000,000 shares and 6,756,176 shares, respectively. Treasury shares of Class A common stock totaling 2,335,178 and 2,434,769 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have been deducted from shares outstanding.

Stock Repurchase Program: On November 7, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock purchase program ("2023 Stock Repurchase Program") providing for the purchase of up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A

common stock through December 31, 2025. NACCO's previous repurchase program ("2021 Stock Repurchase Program") would have expired on December 31, 2023 but was terminated and replaced by the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program. During 2023, the Company repurchased 47,095 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of $1.6 million and 43,872 shares of Class A Common Stock under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million. There were no stock repurchases in 2022.

The timing and amount of any repurchases under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program are determined at the discretion of the Company's management based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, other capital allocation alternatives, market conditions for the Company's Class A common stock and other legal and contractual restrictions. The 2023 Stock Repurchase Program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Company without prior notice and may be executed through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. All or part of the repurchases under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow repurchases under pre-set terms at times when the Company might otherwise be restricted from doing so under applicable securities laws.

Stock Compensation: See Note 2 for a discussion of the Company's restricted stock awards.
