Financing | Financing The Company’s financing strategy includes both short-term and long-term borrowings. The Company utilizes short-term revolving credit facilities, as well as cash flows from operations, to provide funds for both construction and operating expenditures. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt, enter into term loan arrangements, or equity arrangements and use the proceeds to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facilities or refinance other debt. Each of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements contains a single financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio. For the TXNM agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 70%, and for the PNM and TNMP agreements, this ratio must be maintained at less than or equal to 65%. The Company’s revolving credit facilities, term loans, and other debt agreements generally also contain customary covenants, events of default, cross-default provisions, and change-of-control provisions. PNM must obtain NMPRC approval for any financing transaction having a maturity of more than 18 months. In addition, PNM files its annual informational financing filing and short-term financing plan with the NMPRC. Additional information concerning financing activities is contained in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2023 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On May 16, 2023, PNM filed a shelf registration statement that provides for the issuance of up to $650.0 million of SUNs that expires in May 2026. On March 2, 2022, TXNM filed a shelf registration that provides for the issuance of various types of debt and equity securities. The TXNM shelf registration statement expires in March 2025. Financing Activities On May 6, 2024, TXNM entered into a distribution agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents and Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as forward purchasers, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales amount of $100.0 million of its common stock, no par value, through the sales agents (the “TXNM 2024 ATM Program”). On August 5, 2024, subsequent to approval by shareholders to increase TXNM’s authorized shares, the Company amended the distribution agreement increasing the aggregate sales amount from $100.0 million to $300.0 million of its common stock, no par value, that may be sold under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program. Sales of the shares made pursuant to the distribution agreement, if any, may be made in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of TXNM’s common stock, capital needs and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. TXNM did not receive any proceeds upon the execution of this agreement. The Company also may enter into forward stock purchase transactions, pursuant to the distribution agreement, in which forward purchasers may borrow from third parties and, through a sales agent acting as a forward seller, sell a number of shares equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock to hedge the agreement. Although the Company expects to settle any forward stock purchase transaction with fully physical settlement, except in certain specified circumstances, TXNM has the option to elect physical, cash, or net share settlement of the forward stock purchase transactions. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares of common stock by a forward seller. The Company expects to receive proceeds from the sale of shares directly by sales agents or upon future physical settlement(s) in connection with the forward stock purchase transactions, in which latter case the Company will expect to receive, subject to certain adjustments, aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares underlying the relevant forward agreements, multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. During the second quarter of 2024, TXNM entered into a forward sale agreement with a forward purchaser for the sale of 262,025 shares of common stock under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program (the “Q2 2024 Forward Sale Agreement”). The initial forward sale price of $37.77 per share is subject to adjustments based on a net interest rate factor and by future dividends paid on TXNM common stock as specified in the forward sale agreement. During the third quarter of 2024, TXNM entered into forward sale agreements with forward purchasers for the sale of 2,196,926 shares of common stock under the TXNM 2024 ATM Program (the “Q3 2024 Forward Sale Agreements”, and together with the Q2 2024 Forward Sale Agreement, the “2024 Forward Sale Agreements”). The Q3 2024 Forward Sale Agreements have a weighted average initial forward sale price of $40.58 per share that is subject to adjustments based on a net interest rate factor and by future dividends paid on TXNM common stock as specified in the forward sale agreement. TXNM did not initially receive any proceeds upon the execution of these agreements and, except in certain specified circumstances, has the option to elect physical, cash, or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements on or before a date that is 12 months from the agreement effective date. As of September 30, 2024, no shares have been settled under the 2024 Forward Sale Agreements. On May 10, 2024, PNM entered into a $200.0 million term loan agreement (the “PNM 2024 Term Loan”), among PNM, the lenders party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent. PNM used the proceeds of the PNM 2024 Term Loan to repay borrowings under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility, the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, and for general corporate purposes. The PNM 2024 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, which was 6.11% at September 30, 2024, and must be repaid on or before November 10, 2025. On June 10, 2024, TXNM issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated convertible notes due 2054 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and rank junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, and mature on June 1, 2054, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with their terms. On June 21, 2024, TXNM issued an additional $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, pursuant to an overallotment option granted by TXNM to the initial purchasers of the $500.0 million Convertible Notes. Proceeds from the Convertible Notes were used to prepay $449.0 million of borrowings under the TXNM 2021 Delayed Draw Term Loan and $90.0 million of borrowings under the TXNM 2023 Term Loan, without penalty, and for other corporate purposes. TXNM may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to June 6, 2029, except upon the occurrence of certain tax events, rating agency events or treasury stock events (each, a “special event”). TXNM may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the Convertibles Notes upon the occurrence of a special event at any time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, TXNM may redeem for cash all or part (subject to certain limitations on partial redemptions) of the Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after June 6, 2029, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of TXNM’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price of the convertible notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which TXNM provides notice of redemption. In each case, TXNM will not, and will not be permitted to, issue a notice of redemption, or specify a redemption date, during any interest deferral period. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2053, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain conditions. On or after December 1, 2053 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at their option, at any time, at the conversion rate then in effect, irrespective of these conditions. Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, TXNM will pay cash, or deliver an equal aggregate principal amount of a newly issued series of its nonconvertible junior subordinated notes with the same terms as the Convertible Notes (other than the conversion features and certain features in relation to redemption rights), in either case, up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted, and deliver shares of TXNM’s common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of TXNM’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes will initially be 22.4911 shares of TXNM’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $44.46 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes represents a conversion premium of 17.5% above the last reported sale price of TXNM’s common stock on June 4, 2024. The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment by certain events such as increased dividends but will not adjust for any accrued or unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes or if TXNM delivers a notice of a special event redemption, TXNM will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event or such notice of special event redemption, as the case may be. TXNM issued the Convertible Notes pursuant to an indenture (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”) dated as of June 10, 2024 between TXNM and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The Convertible Notes are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties, and covenants set forth in the Convertible Notes Indenture, which include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a fundamental change, as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture, TXNM may be required to repurchase, for cash, the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes plus accrued interest. TXNM may not redeem the Convertible notes prior to June 6, 2029 except upon the occurrence of a special event as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture. So long as no event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes has occurred and is continuing, TXNM may, at its option, defer interest payments on the Convertible Notes on one or more occasions for up to 20 consecutive semi-annual interest payment periods. During any deferral period, interest on the Convertible Notes will continue to accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes. In addition, during any deferral period, interest on deferred interest will accrue at the then-applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes, compounded semi-annually, to the extent permitted by applicable law. At December 31, 2023, PNM had outstanding $37.0 million of 3.00% PCRBs and $125.0 million of 1.15% PCRBs issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico with a mandatory remarketing date of June 1, 2024 and final maturities of June 2040 and $36.0 million of 3.00% PCRBs issued by Maricopa County, Arizona with a mandatory remarketing date of June 1, 2024 and a final maturity of January 2038.

The TNMP 2024 Bonds are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2024 Bonds. The terms of the supplemental indentures governing the TNMP 2024 Bonds include the customary covenants discussed above.
