In connection with the Sumac transaction, one of the former principals retained 25% of the ownership of the entities holding the Sumac business unit. This individual is employed by the Company and serves as general manager of the Sumac business unit. During fiscal 2017, this individual, together with the two other former principals of Sumac, who are not employed by the Company were paid $5,805 in the aggregate in full satisfaction of the Company's obligations under the $5,905 non-interest bearing performance-based note issued in connection with the Sumac transaction.
On April 2, 2018, the minority shareholder of the entities holding the Sumac business unit provided the Company notice that he was exercising his option to sell one-half (12.5%) of his remaining equity interest in the entities holding the Sumac business unit to the Company, and such sale was completed and effective as of July 20, 2018. The terms of the April 2015 Sumac purchase agreement prescribed a valuation formula for such a sale based on Sumac's financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. During the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid $5,665 to purchase the 12.5% non-controlling interest.
    
Similarly, on April 2, 2019, the minority shareholder of the entities holding the Sumac business unit provided the Company notice that he was exercising his option to sell the entirety of his remaining equity interest (12.5% of the entities holding the Sumac business unit) to the Company. The terms of the April 2015 Sumac purchase agreement prescribed a valuation formula for such a sale based on Sumac's financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. We estimate that Thermon will pay $4,204 to purchase the remaining 12.5% Sumac equity interest, which is expected to be completed in June 2019.
