Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 21, 2018, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”), entered into a $50.0 million term loan agreement (the “Term Loan”), between PNMR and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) as sole lender. The Term Loan is effective as of December 21, 2018 and has a maturity date of December 21, 2020. PNMR expects to use the proceeds of the Term Loan to refinance existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
PNMR must pay interest on its borrowing under the Term Loan from time to time following funding and must repay all amounts on or before the maturity date.
The Term Loan includes customary covenants, including a covenant that requires the maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1.00. The Term Loan also includes customary events of default, a cross default provision, and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, Bank of America may declare the obligations outstanding under the Term Loan to be due and payable. Such acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.
The above description of the Term Loan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire Term Loan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Bank of America performs normal banking (including as a lender under other facilities) and investment banking and advisory services from time to time for PNMR and its affiliates, for which it receives customary fees and expenses.
