Re: Holding Company Name Change Proposal
Good Morning,
Last Friday, we made a filing that includes a proposal for our shareholders to vote on a name change for our holding company from PNM Resources to TXNM Energy.
Our holding company was established with its current name in 2001 when PNM was our only utility. The proposed name change, if approved by shareholders, reflects the changes in our operations and business footprint over the last two decades. TNMP has grown at an accelerated pace for several consecutive years and is now nearly the same size as PNM’s retail operations in New Mexico. TXNM Energy provides a more transparent indication that we operate in both states.
Our PNM and TNMP customers and communities are our top priority, and this proposal does not change the way we operate, communicate or brand these entities, continuing our proud legacy in New Mexico and Texas. Our operating companies will continue to be known as PNM and TNMP. The shareholder proposal only updates the name and there are no changes to our structure, location or goals.
If shareholders vote to approve the name change, our stock ticker will change to TXNM and all existing shares will be recognized under the new symbol.
This is an exciting time that reflects the evolution of our company as we continue to deliver innovative solutions for our customers. Your hard work and dedication to our company's success have played a critical role in getting us to where we are today, poised for an exciting tomorrow. We understand that change brings questions, please feel free to reach out to askus@pnmresources.com.
Thank you for your commitment to our company's vision and for the part you play in our ongoing success. We will develop and share any plans for the name change after the June 4th shareholder vote.
Thanks,
Pat and Don
