Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Amendment to Amended and Restated Securityholder Agreement

Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., the registrant’s indirect parent entity (“Parent”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) with CHS Private Equity V LP, CHS Associates V (together with CHS Private Equity V LP, “CHS”), Thompson Street Capital Partners II, L.P. (“TSCP”), Crown Investment Series LLC—Series 4 (“Crown”) and Star Investment Series LLC—Series 1 (“Star,” and together with CHS, TSCP and Crown, the “Sponsors”) to the Amended and Restated Securityholder Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2010, among Parent, the Sponsors and other existing stockholders of Parent that will become effective at, and is contingent upon, the consummation of Parent’s previously announced initial public offering of common stock (the “IPO”).  Pursuant to the Amendment, upon consummation of the IPO, provisions relating to tag-along rights, preemptive rights and rights of first refusal in favor of the Sponsors will terminate, and certain amendments to the restrictions on transfer of Parent’s securities in the open market by current and former employee stockholders will take effect.  In addition, the Amendment provides that each of the existing stockholders of Parent party thereto will vote their respective shares of Parent common stock to cause Parent’s board of directors to include: (i) for so long as CHS owns, in the aggregate, capital stock representing 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Parent common stock, one director designated by CHS, and (ii) until the earlier of the first anniversary of the listing date of Parent’s common stock with the New York Stock Exchange and the date on which TSCP owns, in the aggregate, capital stock representing less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Parent’s common stock, one director designated by TSCP. In addition, the Amendment provides that CHS may, for so long as it owns, in the aggregate, capital stock representing 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Parent common stock, designate a non-voting observer reasonably acceptable to Parent to attend any meetings of Parent’s board of directors.  The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Sponsors, in the aggregate, currently own 100% of the voting common stock of Parent (and over 85% of the total outstanding common stock of Parent), and four current members of the boards of directors of the registrant and Parent have been designated by, and are affiliated with, CHS (Daniel J. Hennessy (Chairman), Brian P. Simmons and Marcus J. George) and TSCP (James A. Cooper).

Amendment to Credit Agreement

On April 12, 2011, the registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Thermon Industries, Inc. (the “Note Issuer”) and Thermon Canada Inc. (together with the Note Issuer, the “Borrower Subsidiaries”) entered into a Consent and Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2010, as amended on November 30, 2010, among the Borrower Subsidiaries, General Electric Capital Corporation, as US agent and a lender, GE Canada Holding Financing Company, as Canadian agent and a lender, and the other credit parties and lenders identified therein.  The Second Amendment includes a limited consent of the lenders to the IPO, the payment of the management services termination fee described below under Item 1.02 and use of net proceeds from the IPO to repay a portion of the Note Issuer’s outstanding senior secured notes, as described below under Item 8.01.  In addition, among other changes, the Second Amendment effects certain amendments to the change of control default provision in light of the IPO and modifies the financial statement reporting and incurrence of foreign subsidiary indebtedness covenants in ways that provide the Borrower Subsidiaries with additional flexibility.  The foregoing summary of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02.
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
 
The Note Issuer and the Sponsors entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) relating to the Management Services Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2010, among the Note Issuer and the Sponsors, which terminates, effective at, and contingent upon, the consummation of the IPO, the Management Services Agreement and the obligation to pay any management fees thereunder.  Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Note Issuer will pay a one-time cash termination fee in the aggregate amount of $7,356,757 (of which $5,032,570 will be paid to CHS, $1,159,936 will be paid to TSCP, $1,107,906 will be paid to Crown and $56,345 will be paid to Star). The foregoing summary of the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Termination Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
Three members of the boards of directors of the registrant and Parent, Daniel J. Hennessy (Chairman), Brian P. Simmons and George P. Alexander, have given notice of their intent to resign from both boards, effective at, and contingent upon, the consummation of the IPO.  The resignations of Messrs. Hennessy, Simmons and Alexander were not caused by any disagreement with Parent or the registrant.
 
Item 8.01.
Other Events
 
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2011, Parent disclosed its intent, assuming an IPO price to the public of $13.00 per share, to use $21.6 million of net proceeds from the IPO to prepay $21.0 million of the $189.0 million principal amount of the Note Issuer’s outstanding 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2017, CUSIP No. 88362R AC1 (the “Notes”) that will be outstanding upon the consummation of the IPO at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.  Any redemption of the Notes from the net proceeds from the IPO will be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes and pursuant to the terms and conditions of a written notice that will be distributed to registered holders of the Notes.  No assurance can be made that the IPO, or any redemption of the Notes from the IPO net proceeds, will be consummated, or that the final terms of the IPO will be acceptable to Parent or the final price per share to the public high enough to enable Parent to fund a redemption of the Notes.
