      Shareholders Vote to Approve Company Initiatives to Improve Corporate
      Governance and Board Diversity</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      ELKHART, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 17, 2018--Thor Industries, Inc.
      (NYSE:THO) today announced that shareholders approved a number of
      corporate governance enhancements at the annual meeting of shareholders
      held on December 14, 2018. Shareholders voted to elect Amelia A.
      Huntington to the Board of Directors, marking the first female director
      elected to the Board by the shareholders, which followed her appointment
      in October. In addition, shareholders approved a proposal to declassify
      the Board of Directors such that each member of the Board will stand for
      election each year beginning with the 2019 Annual Meeting.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We are pleased with the continued progress we have made in improving
      Thor&#8217;s corporate governance and enhancing the diversity of our Board,&#8221;
      commented Peter B. Orthwein, Thor&#8217;s Executive Chairman. &#8220;Despite her
      recent tenure, Amy has been a solid addition to our Board of Directors,
      offering different perspectives that enhance our business and our
      approach to managing our Company. In addition, the move to declassify
      our Board will help to enhance our overall governance and alignment of
      our Board members to our shareholders, which is a long-term goal of our
      Board.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      At the meeting, 91.2% of the eligible votes were cast in person or by
      proxy for the election of three directors, the ratification of Thor&#8217;s
      Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the advisory vote on
      executive compensation, and the vote on declassification of the Board of
      Directors. Based on the votes cast, all of the directors up for election
      were elected and all of the proposals passed.
    </p>
    <p>
      On Proposal 1, approximately 88.5% of votes cast were for the election
      of Andrew Graves as director, approximately 89.3% of votes cast were for
      the election of Amelia A. Huntington as director, and approximately
      88.8% of votes cast were for the election of Christopher Klein as
      director. On Proposal 2, the ratification of Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP as
      Thor&#8217;s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, approximately
      98.5% of votes cast were for the proposal. On Proposal 3, the advisory
      vote to approve the compensation of Thor&#8217;s named executive officers,
      approximately 80.0% of votes cast were for the proposal. On Proposal 4,
      the vote on declassification of the Board of Directors, approximately
      89.9% of votes cast were for the proposal.
