Explanatory Note
     Thor Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2007 (the “Original Report”) to supplement the information disclosed under Items 1.01 and 5.02 of the Original Report. The remainder of the Original Report set forth herein has not been changed.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On June 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a revised compensation package for non-employee directors. Each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer of $170,000, payable quarterly, plus expenses. The lead director and the chair of the Audit Committee will each receive an additional annual cash retainer of $20,000, payable quarterly. Currently, the Company does not anticipate awarding additional equity compensation to non-employee directors.
     Under the previous compensation package, non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer of $65,000, payable quarterly, plus expenses. In addition, non-employee directors who served on the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and/or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee received an additional annual cash retainer of $20,000, plus expenses, except for the chair of the Audit Committee, who received an annual retainer of $35,000, plus expenses.
     The revised compensation package took effect as of the third quarter of fiscal 2007. As a result, non-employee directors were paid under the previous compensation package for the first and second quarters of the fiscal 2007 transition year and will be paid under the revised compensation package for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2007. Non-employee directors also received a one-time payment of $20,000 in May 2007 for transition purposes.
