This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) is hereby filed to update and supplement certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of shares of Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common”) of Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. (the “Issuer”) held by AMR Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, that appeared in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 10, 2017 (the “Initial Filing”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on February 14, 2018 (“Amendment No. 1”), as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on February 14, 2019 (“Amendment No. 2”), as further amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on February 13, 2020 (“Amendment No. 3”) and as further amended by Amendment No. 4 filed on February 12, 2021 (together with the Initial Filing and Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3 the “Filings”). This Amendment No. 5 updates certain information with respect to certain Reporting Persons under the Filings.

The statements under the heading Clara T. Rankin Williams which appear in the Filings, are hereby deleted and replaced in their entirety by the following:

Clara T. Rankin Williams. Ms. Williams shares the power to vote 273,806 shares of Class B Common and shares the power to dispose of 3,152,172 shares of Class B Common.
