<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On December 11, 2017, at the quarterly meeting of the Board
of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Thor Industries, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) held in New York, NY, long-time Board
Member Alan Siegel notified the Company of his intention to retire from the Board, effective immediately following the December

and his service in that role will also end effective upon his retirement. Mr. Siegel&rsquo;s notification of his retirement from
the Board did not result from a disagreement with the Company, and therefore disclosure under Item 5.02(a) of Form 8-K is not
required.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Board expressed its thanks to Mr. Siegel for his years of

position vacated by Mr. Siegel&rsquo;s retirement. Mr. Klein, who has served as Chief Executive Officer of Fortune Brands Home
and Security, Inc. since 2010, shall hold office until the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders. At the time of the appointment,
it was not determined whether Mr. Klein would sit on any Board committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As part of his compensation, Mr. Klein will receive a grant
of 1,000 restricted stock units of the Company pursuant to the Thor Industries, Inc. 2016 Equity and Incentive Plan. The restricted
stock units are scheduled to vest on the anniversary date of the grant. Mr. Klein&rsquo;s annual cash compensation will be $170,000
per year. In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Klein in connection with his appointment
to the Board, which is expected to be substantially in the same form as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</P>

(NYSE:THO) today announced the appointment of Christopher J. Klein, currently Chief Executive Officer of Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security, Inc., to serve on its Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company announced that Alan Siegel retired as a member of its Board after nearly 35 years of service. Both the appointment and retirement are effective December 12, 2017 and maintains the total size of Thor&#39;s Board at eight members.</p><p>&#34;We are excited to have Chris join our Board of Directors and we look forward to the valuable experience and perspective he will share with our
management team,&#34; said Peter B. Orthwein, Thor Executive Chairman. &#34;Chris has served as CEO of Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security, Inc. since 2010, and has demonstrated outstanding leadership, as his company has built a record of market outperformance and strong growth. Prior to that, Chris led numerous strategic and corporate development initiatives at Fortune Brands, Inc. His background will further enhance the already strong composition of our Board.&#34;</p><p>Prior to joining Fortune Brands, Inc., Chris held key strategy and operating positions at Bank One Corporation. Before that, he spent eight years at the consulting firm McKinsey &amp; Company, where he was a partner in the firm&#39;s Chicago office. Chris spent his early career in commercial banking, at both ABN AMRO and First Chicago. Chris graduated from the University of Iowa&#39;s business school (BBA) and earned
his MBA at Northwestern University&#39;s Kellogg School of Management.</p><p>Mr. Siegel has been a director of Thor since 1983. During that time, he served as Chairman of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, he was the Company&#39;s general counsel for many years. </p><p>&#34;Alan has played an invaluable role on our Board over the last thirty-five years,&#34; said Orthwein. &#34;His judgment, legal acumen and deep interest in the culture of our company have benefited our organization and our shareholders. While we are sorry he will no longer serve on our board, we are thankful to Alan for his outstanding service to Thor.&#34;</p><p><b>About Thor Industries, Inc.
