Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On January 3, 2007, Applica Incorporated announced that it had entered into a fourth amendment to its merger agreement with affiliates of Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. and Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P. (together, “Harbinger Capital Partners”) after receipt of an offer by Harbinger Capital Partners to increase the merger consideration payable for all outstanding shares of Applica that it does not currently own to $7.75 per share in cash. Except as expressly amended or modified by the amendment, the provisions of the merger agreement will remain in full force and effect.

The foregoing description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

The offer and amendment followed an increase to $7.75 per share of the price of the unsolicited tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Applica’s common stock that was commenced by Apex Acquisition Corporation, a newly formed Florida corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. These recent developments are described in a supplement to the definitive proxy statement that will be filed by Applica with the SEC and mailed to Applica’s shareholders on or about January 4, 2007.

Applica intends to convene the special meeting at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 4, 2007, as scheduled, and adjourn the special meeting until 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2007, without a vote on any proposal other than an adjournment. The proposals to be considered at the special meeting will be submitted to a vote of Applica’s shareholders at the reconvened meeting at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2007. The record date for the reconvened meeting will remain November 27, 2006. Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 27, 2006 may submit their proxies to vote their shares on the proposals until 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 10, 2007.

In connection with the proposed transaction with Harbinger Capital Partners, Applica has filed a definitive proxy statement, proxy supplements, a Schedule 14d-9 recommendation statement and amendments thereto with the SEC. Investors and security holders are urged to read the definitive proxy statement, the proxy supplements, the Schedule 14d-9 recommendation statement, the amendments thereto and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction because they contain important information about Applica, the proposed transaction with Harbinger Capital Partners, the NACCO tender offer and related matters. The definitive proxy statement, several proxy supplements, the Schedule 14d-9 recommendation statement and several amendments thereto have been mailed to Applica shareholders and a supplement explaining the increase in the purchase price in the Harbinger Capital Partners merger agreement described in the press release and an amended Schedule 14d-9 recommendation statement will be mailed to Applica’s shareholders or or about January 4, 2007.

Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as they become available through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed with the SEC may be obtained free of charge by directing such requests to Applica Incorporated, 3633 Flamingo Road, Miramar, Florida 33027, Attention: Investor Relations ((954) 883-1000), or from Applica Incorporated’s website at www.applicainc.com.

Applica Incorporated and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of Applica management may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Applica shareholders with respect to the proposed transaction. Information regarding the interests of these officers and directors in the proposed transaction has been included in the proxy statement filed with the SEC. In addition, information about Applica’s directors, executive officers and members of management is contained in Applica’s most recent proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K, which are available on Applica’s website and at www.sec.gov.
