Item 8.01 Other Items.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the financial reporting segments of Actuant Corporation (“Actuant” or the “Company”) were modified to reflect changes in the portfolio of businesses, due to acquisitions, as well as changes in business reporting lines. The Company considered these changes as part of its ongoing assessment of segment reporting, and changed its operating and reportable segments to reflect four reportable segments: Industrial, Energy, Electrical and Engineered Solutions. The Company is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2008 (“First Quarter Form 10-Q”), to reflect a change in segment reporting.

This update has no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated revenues, net income, financial position or cash flow.

The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2009, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2009, reflects the new segment structure.

Our historical segment financial information and related disclosures in our 2008 Form 10-K and First Quarter Form 10-Q have been reclassified to reflect our current segment structure as reflected in the Exhibits attached to this Current Report. All information contained in this Current Report with respect to the 2008 Form 10-K is as of October 29, 2008, the original filing date of our 2008 Form 10-K, and with respect to the First Quarter 10-Q is as of January 8, 2009, the original filing date of our First Quarter Form 10-Q. We have not updated the disclosures contained in our 2008 Form 10-K or First Quarter Form 10-Q to reflect any other events that have occurred after their respective filing dates (e.g. new accounting pronouncements, acquisitions and other developments). Accordingly, Actuant’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 28, 2009, which describes significant developments since the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K and First Quarter 10-Q should be considered when reviewing this document.
