EXPLANATORY NOTE

Actuant Corporation (the “Registrant”) filed the Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-179007 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 13, 2012 to register 1,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s Class A Common Stock to be offered pursuant to the Actuant Corporation 401(k) Plan (the “Original Plan”).  The Registrant filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on October 28, 2013 to add an additional plan, the Electrical Holdings 401(k) Plan (the “Electrical Plan”), to the Registration Statement.

On December 13, 2013, the Registrant completed the sale of its Electrical Segment to Power Products, LLC, an affiliate of Sentinel Capital Partners, L.P. (“Buyer”).  In connection with the sale of the Electrical Segment, the Registrant transferred sponsorship of the Electrical Plan to the Buyer.  The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is to remove the Electrical Plan from the Registration Statement.  No additional securities are being registered hereby.  The Registration Statement registered a sufficient number of shares of the Registrant’s Class A Common Stock to cover the Registrant’s obligations under the Electrical Plan and the Original Plan.
