Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The purpose of the formation of AMR Associates NC and the Reporting Persons entering into and delivering the AMR Associates NC Partnership Agreement, and the acquisition by AMR Associates NC of the Class A Common and Class B Common, was to (a) provide the Reporting Persons with a mechanism for consolidating the management of their holdings of Class A Common and Class B Common in a manner that would allow coordinated family management of such Class A Common and Class B Common and (b) to facilitate the estate planning objectives of the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)—(b) Although each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Class B Common beneficially owned by each other Reporting Person, pursuant to the Act and regulations thereunder the Reporting Persons may be deemed as a group to have acquired beneficial ownership of 203,972 shares of Class B Common, the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common which are subject to the terms of the AMR Associates NC Partnership Agreement, representing 13.0% of the outstanding Class B Common as of December 13, 2024.

AMR Associates NC, L.P. AMR Associates NC is made up of the entities holding limited and general partnership interests in AMR Associates NC. AMR Associates NC may be deemed to be a “group” as defined under the Act and therefore may be deemed as a group to beneficially own 203,972 shares of Class B Common held by AMR Associates NC.

Collectively, the 1,076,343 shares of Class B Common beneficially owned by Mr. Rankin constitute approximately 68.8% of the Class B Common outstanding as of December 13, 2024.

Helen R. Butler. Ms. Butler has the sole power to vote and dispose of 9,195 shares of Class B Common.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

AMR Associates NC, L.P.

Under the terms of the AMR Associates NC Partnership Agreement, filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the General Partners have the power to vote the Class A Common and Class B Common held by the partnership. Further, under such terms, the General Partners generally exercise such power by a vote of the General Partners holding a majority of the general partnership interests.

CUSIP No. 629579202		Schedule 13D		Page 8 of 11 Pages

 

The AMR Associates NC Partnership Agreement restricts the transfer of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in AMR Associates NC (“AMR Associates NC Partnership Interests”) by the partners and provides the partners and the partnership with a right of first refusal to acquire AMR Associates NC Partnership Interests that a partner desires to sell and a repurchase obligation to compel the sale of AMR Associates NC Partnership Interests by the partners under certain circumstances. This description of the transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations is qualified by reference to the AMR Associates NC Partnership Agreement.

Stockholders’ Agreement

The Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017, among the signatories thereto and the Issuer (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, requires a signatory to offer the shares of Class B Common beneficially owned by such signatory to all of the other signatories upon the occurrence of either of the following: (a) the proposed conversion of shares of Class B Common by such signatory into shares of Class A Common and (b) the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of Class B Common by such signatory to any permitted transferee (under the terms of the Class B Common) who is not a signatory to the Stockholders’ Agreement. In either of these cases, the signatory proposing to enter into one of these transactions must notify all of the other signatories and then must allow each such other signatory the opportunity to purchase such signatory’s pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common that are subject to the proposed transaction in accordance with the procedures described below. The Stockholders’ Agreement, however, does not restrict transfers of Class B Common among the signatories or any other permitted transferee who becomes a signatory to the Stockholders’ Agreement.

A signatory proposing to engage in a transaction triggering a right of first refusal must first give written notice of the proposed transaction by registered mail to the Issuer, which acts as depository under the Stockholders’ Agreement. The depository, in turn, is required to send such notice promptly to all of the other signatories. Following receipt of such notice, each other signatory will have seven business days to elect whether or not to purchase his, her or its pro rata portion of the shares of the Class B Common which have triggered a right of first refusal. A signatory’s pro rata portion will be determined by dividing the number of shares of Class B Common which such person owns by the number of shares of Class B Common which are owned by all of the other signatories who similarly may elect to purchase the shares of Class B Common which have triggered the right of first refusal. A notice electing to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common must be sent to the depository by the end of the seven business day period. If the signatories electing to purchase do not elect to purchase all of the shares of Class B Common, then such signatories have an additional five business days to agree among themselves how to allocate the shares not purchased. If they cannot reach any agreement, the allocation shall be pro rata. If there are still shares of Class B Common which are not purchased following such allocation, then the Issuer shall have an additional three business days to decide whether or not to purchase the remaining shares. The Issuer, however, is under no obligation to purchase any such shares.

Following the completion of such procedures, the signatory who has triggered the right of first refusal is free, for a period of 30 business days, to convert the shares of Class B Common, if any, which remain, into shares of Class A Common. If the signatory had originally proposed to transfer the shares, such signatory would be free to transfer shares of Class A Common in accordance with the originally proposed transaction.

Signatories who elect to exercise the right of first refusal and purchase shares of Class B Common may pay for such shares in cash, an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common, or in a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common. The purchase price to be paid is the higher of what is specified in the notice sent by the signatory who has triggered the right of first refusal and the average of the last sales price of Class A Common on the New York Stock Exchange for the five days prior to the date of such notice.

The Stockholders’ Agreement only restricts the conversion, or the sales or other disposition outside of the Stockholders’ Agreement, of shares of Class B Common held by each signatory. The Stockholders’ Agreement does not restrict in any respect how a signatory may vote the shares of Class B Common that are subject to the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement. This description of the transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations is qualified by reference to the Stockholders’ Agreement.

Subsequent to September 29, 2017, the Stockholders’ Agreement was amended to add additional and remove certain signatories. These amendments are filed as Exhibits 3 through 8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Rankin Associates I, L.P.

Under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Rankin Associates I, L.P. (“Rankin I”), dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “Rankin I Partnership Agreement”), filed as 9 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin and Roger F. Rankin, as trustees and primary beneficiaries of trusts acting as general partners of Rankin I, share the power to vote the Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin I.

CUSIP No. 629579202		Schedule 13D		Page 9 of 11 Pages

 

Further, under such terms, voting actions are determined by the general partners owning at least a majority of the general partnership interests of Rankin I. Each of the trusts holding general and limited partnership interests in Rankin I share with each other the power to dispose of Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin I. Under the terms of the Rankin I Partnership Agreement, Rankin I may not dispose of Class A Common or Class B Common, or convert Class B Common into Class A Common, without the consent of the general partners holding more than 75% of the general partnership interests in Rankin I and the consent of the holders of more than 75% of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in Rankin I (“Rankin I Partnership Interests”).

The Rankin I Partnership Agreement restricts the transfer of Rankin I Partnership Interests by the partners and provides the partners and Rankin I with a right of first refusal to acquire Rankin I Partnership Interests that a partner desires to sell and a repurchase obligation to compel the sale of Rankin I Partnership Interests by the partners under certain circumstances. This description of the transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations is qualified by reference to the Rankin I Partnership Agreement.

Rankin Associates II, L.P.

Under the terms of the First Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Rankin Associates II, L.P. (“Rankin II”), dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “Rankin II Partnership Agreement”), filed as Exhibit 10 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, Rankin Management, Inc. (“RMI”), as the general partner of Rankin II, has the sole power to vote the Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin II. RMI exercises such powers by action of its board of directors, which acts by majority vote and consists of Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Thomas T. Rankin, Claiborne R. Rankin and Roger F. Rankin, the individual trusts of whom are the stockholders of RMI. RMI shares the power to dispose of the Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin II with the other individuals and entities holding limited partnership interests in Rankin II. Under the terms of the Rankin II Partnership Agreement, Rankin II may not dispose of Class A Common or Class B Common, or convert Class B Common into Class A Common, without the consent of RMI and the consent of the holders of more than 75% of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in Rankin II (“Rankin II Partnership Interests”).

The Rankin II Partnership Agreement restricts the transfer of Rankin II Partnership Interests by the partners and provides the partners and Rankin II with a right of first refusal to acquire Rankin II Partnership Interests that a partner desires to sell and a repurchase obligation to compel the sale of Rankin II Partnership Interests by the partners under certain circumstances. This description of the transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations is qualified by reference to the Rankin II Partnership Agreement.

Rankin Associates IV, L.P.

Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Rankin Associates IV, L.P. (“Rankin IV”), dated as of December 8, 2021 (the “Rankin IV Partnership Agreement”), filed as Exhibit 11 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the general partners share the power to vote the Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin IV. Further, under such terms, voting actions are determined by the general partners owning at least a majority of the general partnership interests of Rankin IV. Each of the trusts holding general and limited partnership interests in Rankin IV share with each other the power to dispose of Class A Common and Class B Common held by Rankin IV. Under the terms of the Rankin IV Partnership Agreement, Rankin IV may not dispose of Class A Common or Class B Common, or convert Class B Common into Class A Common, without the consent of the general partners holding more than 75% of the general partnership interests in Rankin IV and the consent of the holders of more than 75% of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in Rankin IV (the “Rankin IV Partnership Interests”).

The Rankin IV Partnership Agreement restricts the transfer of Rankin IV Partnership Interests by the partners and provides the partners and Rankin IV with a right of first refusal to acquire Rankin IV Partnership Interests that a partner desires to sell and a repurchase obligation to compel the sale of Rankin IV Partnership Interests by the partners under certain circumstances. This description of the transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations is qualified by reference to the Rankin IV Partnership Agreement.
