The Stockholders Agreement only restricts the conversion, or the sales or other disposition outside of the Stockholders Agreement,

Transfer Restriction Agreement

Under the terms of the Transfer Restriction Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2017 (the TRA), filed as
Exhibit 5 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, the Issuer, NACCO, and certain signatories thereto have agreed to certain restrictions on transactions involving securities of the Issuer or NACCO. Absent a ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS), an unqualified tax opinion from approved counsel, or approval by the Issuer as the administrator of the TRA, the TRA prohibits members of NACCOs extended founding family, for a two-year period following
the Spin-off, from (a) acquiring any stock of either NACCO or the Issuer (other than acquisitions of stock pursuant to an equity compensation plan of either NACCO or Issuer) or (b) transferring directly or indirectly any stock owned by the
extended founding family.

The TRA further provides that the five-percent voting limitation on transfers of Issuer voting power
will be converted to a 35-percent limitation if NACCO or Issuer obtains a private letter ruling from the IRS or an unqualified tax opinion substantially to the effect that the increase in voting power by holders of Class B Common by reason of the
conversion by other holders of Class B Common to Class A Common will not be taken into account for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.
