SAN MARCOS, TX--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2013) - On April 19, 2013, Thermon Industries, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: THR), delivered a Notice of Optional Redemption (the "Notice) to registered holders of its outstanding 9.500% senior secured notes due 2017 (the "Notes"), CUSIP No. 88362R AC1. The Notice called for redemption in full of the outstanding Notes, $118.1 million in aggregate principal amount. The redemption price will include an approximate $5.6 million call premium and an interest prepayment of approximately $9.8 million. The redemption date will be May 20, 2013.

Thermon also amended its existing revolving credit facility to increase the aggregate principal amount of loans available from $40 million to $50 million prior to the redemption of the Notes and $60 million after the redemption. The revolving credit facility will be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes and will mature in 2018.
