Special Meeting of Applica’s Shareholders to
Reconvene on January 4, 2007

     Miramar, Florida (December 28, 2006) — Applica Incorporated (NYSE: APN) today announced that, as previously planned and announced, its special meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time today to vote on the 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”) was convened and adjourned until 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 4, 2007, without a vote on any proposal other than the adjournment. The proposal to adopt the Harbinger Capital Partners merger agreement, under which Harbinger Capital Partners would acquire all outstanding shares of Applica that it does not currently own for $7.50 per share in cash, without interest, will be submitted to a vote of Applica’s shareholders at the reconvened meeting at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 4, 2007, subject to any further adjournment.

     The special meeting was convened and adjourned to permit shareholders sufficient time to review the third supplement to Applica’s definitive proxy statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2006, and which is being mailed to Applica’s shareholders, and to evaluate the amended merger agreement and the revised unsolicited tender offer that was commenced by Apex Acquisition Corporation, a newly formed Florida corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of NACCO Industries, Inc. The record date for the reconvened meeting will remain November 27, 2006. At the time of today’s special meeting, Applica had received votes in favor of adoption of the Harbinger Capital Partners merger agreement from the holders of a majority of Applica’s outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote.

     The Applica Board of Directors continues to recommend that Applica shareholders (i) vote “FOR” the adoption of the amended merger agreement between Applica and affiliates of Harbinger Capital Partners and (ii) reject the NACCO tender offer and NOT tender their shares in the NACCO tender offer.

     Shareholders may submit their proxies to vote their shares on the proposals until 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 4, 2007. In order to vote their shares in favor of the Harbinger Capital Partners agreement, shareholders should complete, date, sign and return the proxy card enclosed with the previously distributed definitive proxy statement as soon as possible. Shareholders who have any questions about the definitive proxy statement, the proxy supplements thereto, the Schedule 14d-9 recommendation statement, the amendments thereto, the amended merger agreement or the merger, or who need assistance with the voting procedures, should contact Applica’s proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc., at 17 State Street, New York, New York 10004 or call toll-free at (866) 857-2624.
