Item 2.01 Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
     Effective March 1, 2010, Thor Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of SJC Industries Corp., an Indiana corporation (“SJC”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, effective March 1, 2010 (the “Agreement”), by and among the Company, SJC, and Christopher J. Graff, the sole stockholder of SJC. SJC is a privately-held manufacturer of ambulances based in Elkhart, Indiana. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding stock of SJC.
     The purchase price paid by the Company for the acquisition of the stock of SJC and related real estate was approximately $20,000,000 which was payable in cash and is subject to a purchase price adjustment following the closing. At closing, a portion of the purchase price, consisting of $2,000,000, was placed in escrow to be used to fund any purchase price adjustments or any indemnification claims brought by the Company pursuant to the Agreement. As part of the acquisition, the sole stockholder of SJC entered into a non-competition agreement with the Company, effective March 1, 2010 (the “Non-Competition Agreement”), by and between the Company and Christopher J. Graff.
     SJC will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company following the closing. We intend to operate the business of SJC in a similar manner as SJC operated its business prior to the closing, provided that changing business conditions or strategic plans may lead to changes in such operations in the future.
     The Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and the Non-Competition Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the press release relating to the Agreement that was issued by the Company on March 2, 2010 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is also incorporated by reference herein.
