Risks Relating to the Proposed Merger with Blackstone Infrastructure
Current report
There is no assurance when or if the proposed Merger will be completed.
Current report
Completion of the proposed Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the conditions to completion of the proposed Merger will be satisfied or waived or that other events will not intervene to delay or result in the failure to close the proposed Merger. In addition, each of Blackstone Infrastructure and TXNM may unilaterally terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, and Blackstone Infrastructure and TXNM may agree at any time to terminate the Merger Agreement, even though TXNM shareholders already approved the Merger Agreement at a special meeting on August 28, 2025 (and thereby approved the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement).
Current report
Blackstone Infrastructure and TXNM may be unable to obtain the regulatory approvals required to complete the proposed Merger.
Current report
In addition to other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, completion of the proposed Merger is conditioned upon the receipt of various state and U.S. federal regulatory approvals, including, but not limited to, expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under HSR Act and approval by NMPRC, PUCT, FERC, FCC, and NRC. Blackstone Infrastructure and TXNM have made and will make various filings and submissions and will pursue all required consents, orders and approvals in accordance with the Merger Agreement. These consents, orders and approvals may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions, and if such consents, orders and approvals require an extended period of time to be obtained, such extended period of time could increase the chance that an event occurs that constitutes a material adverse effect with respect to TXNM and thereby may allow Blackstone Infrastructure not to complete the proposed Merger. Such extended period of time also may increase the chance that other adverse effects with respect to TXNM could occur, such as the loss of key personnel. Further, no assurance can be given that the required consents, orders and approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to closing will be satisfied.
Current report
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger, during which TXNM is subject to certain operating restrictions, could have an adverse effect on TXNM’s businesses, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
Current report
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger could disrupt TXNM’s businesses, and uncertainty about the effect of the Merger may have an adverse effect on TXNM. These uncertainties could disrupt the business of TXNM and cause suppliers, vendors, partners, and others that deal with TXNM to defer entering into contracts with TXNM or making other decisions concerning TXNM or seek to change or cancel existing business relationships with TXNM. In addition, TXNM’s employees may experience uncertainty regarding their roles after the Merger; for example, employees may depart either before the completion of the Merger because of such uncertainty and issues relating to the difficulty of coordination or a desire not to remain following the Merger; and the pendency of the Merger may adversely affect TXNM’s ability to retain, recruit, and motivate key personnel. Additionally, the attention of TXNM’s management may be directed towards the completion of the Merger including obtaining regulatory approvals and other transaction-related considerations and may be diverted from the day-to-day business operations of TXNM and matters related to the Merger may require commitments of time and resources that could otherwise have been devoted to other opportunities that might have been beneficial to TXNM. Additionally, the Merger requires TXNM to obtain Blackstone Infrastructure’s consent prior to taking certain specified actions while the Merger is pending. These restrictions may prevent TXNM from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities or other capital structure alternatives and making other changes to its business or executing certain of its business strategies prior to the completion of the Merger. Further, the Merger may give rise to potential liabilities, including as a result of pending and future shareholder lawsuits relating to the Merger. Any of these matters could adversely affect the businesses of, or harm the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of TXNM.
Current report
TXNM will incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the proposed Merger.
Current report
TXNM has incurred and expects to incur additional material non-recurring expenses in connection with the proposed Merger and completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Further, even if the proposed Merger is not completed, TXNM will need to pay certain costs relating to the proposed Merger incurred prior to the date the proposed Merger was abandoned, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, filing, and printing fees.
Current report
The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact TXNM.
Current report
If the Merger is not completed for any reason, the ongoing business of TXNM may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of having completed the Merger, TXNM would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
Current report
•TXNM may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including a decline of its stock price (which may reflect a market assumption that the Merger will be completed)
Current report
•TXNM may experience negative reactions from its customers, regulators and employees
Current report
•TXNM may be required to pay certain costs relating to the Merger, whether or not the Merger is completed
Current report
•Matters relating to the Merger will have required substantial commitments of time and resources by TXNM management, which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to TXNM as an independent company.
Current report
If the Merger Agreement is terminated and the Board seeks another merger, business combination or other transaction, TXNM shareholders cannot be certain that TXNM will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration TXNM shareholders would receive in the Merger. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement (including if Blackstone Infrastructure terminates the Merger Agreement due to a change in recommendation of the Board or if TXNM terminates the Merger Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), TXNM will be required to pay Blackstone Infrastructure a termination fee of $210.0 million, plus costs and expenses.
Current report
Lawsuits have been, and additional lawsuits may be, filed that challenge the proposed Merger, and adverse judgments in these lawsuits may prevent the proposed Merger from becoming effective within the expected timeframe or at all.
Current report
TXNM and members of the Board have been, and may be, named as defendants in putative class action lawsuits or other proceedings that have been or may be brought by TXNM shareholders challenging the proposed Merger. If the plaintiffs in any of these actions seek a preliminary or permanent injunction and are successful in obtaining one, the parties may be prevented from completing the proposed Merger in the expected timeframe, if at all. Even if the plaintiffs in these actions are not successful in obtaining an injunction, they may nevertheless continue the action and seek damages after the transaction has closed. In addition, the costs of defending against such claims could adversely affect the financial condition of TXNM and such actions could adversely affect the reputation of TXNM and members of its Board or management.
Current report
Counsel for TXNM received a number of demand letters from law firms on behalf of individuals who are purported TXNM shareholders, accompanied by draft complaints naming TXNM and its directors as defendants and alleging that TXNM’s preliminary proxy statement with respect to the Merger, omitted or misrepresented certain material information. Such draft complaints include a request for injunctive relief with respect to the TXNM shareholder vote to approve, and the closing of, the Merger, as well as other remedies, including counsel fees. In August 2025, reported shareholders filed complaints in New York state court alleging disclosure violations and seeking injunctive relief. TXNM believes that the allegations set forth in the demand letters, draft complaints, and New York state court cases are without merit and, if such complaints are actually filed, will defend such actions vigorously. See Note 16 for additional information concerning the Merger-related litigation.
Current report
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential alternative acquirer that might be willing to pay more to acquire TXNM.
Current report
The Merger Agreement contains customary “no shop” provisions which state that we will not solicit or facilitate proposals regarding a merger or similar transaction with another party except in certain limited circumstances. While the Board may withdraw or change its recommendation regarding the Merger Agreement in response to an unsolicited third-party proposal to acquire TXNM that the Board determines to be superior to the Merger, there are restrictions on its ability to do so, and in certain circumstances, TXNM may also be required to pay Blackstone Infrastructure a termination fee. These provisions could discourage a potential third-party acquirer from considering or proposing an alternative acquisition, even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than that proposed to be paid in the Merger.
Current report
In July 2025, President Trump signed the OBBBA, significantly altering the landscape of climate action and clean energy initiatives in the United States. The legislation revises and, in including some cases, phases out tax credits established under the IRA and also includes restrictions on the availability of credits for “foreign entities of concern,” as such term is used in the OBBBA.

Previous report
In June 2024, PNM filed the 2025 Rate Request for a two-phase implementation of a $3.0 billion increase in total rate base. The increase includes investments in transmission, distribution, and generation facilities to ensure safe, reliable delivery of electricity and a request for an ROE of 10.45%. An adverse outcome in the 2025 Rate Request could negatively impact PNM’s financial position, results of operation, and cash flows. See Note 17.
Previous report
In the first round of the CAA regional haze program, BART determinations were made for both SJGS and Four Corners, requiring the facilities to reduce the levels of visibility-impairing emissions, including NOx, through the installation of control technology, resulting in operating cost increases. Deadlines for SIPs for the second planning period were in July 2021 which NMED was unable to meet. NMED is currently preparing its next regional haze SIP and notified PNM that it will not be required to submit a regional haze four-factor analysis for SJGS since PNM retired its share of SJGS in 2022.
Previous report
In February 2024, EPA proposed to impose a federal implementation plan on New Mexico to address the interstate transport of ozone and its precursors, referred to by EPA as the “good neighbor” rule. If finalized as proposed, compliance with the rule would require specified fossil fuel-fired generating resources to participate in an ozone-season NOx emission allowance trading program that will limit total NOx emissions from all affected units within the state of New Mexico. In December 2024, EPA pulled its proposed rule from the OMB and did not specify if and when the rule might be resubmitted for review.
Previous report
The conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect TXNM’s financial condition and operating results.
Previous report
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert the Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, to the extent TXNM is required to pay cash to settle a portion of its conversion obligation, it could adversely affect TXNM’s liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, to the extent TXNM is required to pay cash to settle a portion of its conversion obligations, TXNM would be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of its net working capital.
Previous report
The accounting method for the Convertible Notes could have a material effect on TXNM’s reported financial results.
Previous report
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which amends the accounting standards for convertible debt instruments that may be settled entirely or partially in cash upon conversion. ASU 2020-06 eliminates requirements to separately account for liability and equity components of such convertible debt instruments and eliminates the ability to use the treasury stock method for calculating diluted earnings per share for
Previous report
A - 18 convertible instruments whose principal amount may be settled using shares. Instead, ASU 2020-06 requires (i) the entire amount of the security to be presented as a liability on the balance sheet and (ii) application of the “if-converted” method for calculating diluted earnings per share. Under the “if-converted” method, diluted earnings per share will generally be calculated assuming that all the Convertible Notes were converted solely into shares of common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, unless the result would be anti-dilutive, which could adversely affect TXNM’s diluted earnings per share. However, if the principal amount of the convertible debt security, such as the Convertible Notes, being converted is required to be paid in cash and only the excess is permitted to be settled in shares, the if-converted method will produce a similar result as the “treasury stock” method prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 for such convertible debt security.
Previous report
ASU 2020-06 became effective for TXNM as of the start of fiscal year end 2022 and as such TXNM did not bifurcate the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes on its balance sheet and TXNM used the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per share. To the extent TXNM is required to pay cash to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion, with only the excess permitted to be settled in shares of TXNM’s common stock, the application of the if-converted method will produce a similar result as the treasury stock method prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06. The effect of the treasury stock method is that the shares issuable upon conversion of such Convertible Notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share except to the extent that the conversion value of such Convertible Notes exceeds their principal amount. The requirement that the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion must be paid in cash could adversely affect TXNM’s liquidity.
Previous report
TXNM cannot be sure whether other changes may be made to the current accounting standards related to the Convertible Notes, or otherwise, that could have a material effect on its reported financial results.
Reworded paragraphs (24)
Previous wording
The rates PNM charges its customers are regulated by the NMPRC and FERC. TNMP is regulated by the PUCT. The Company is in a period requiring significant capital investment and is projecting total construction expenditures for the years 2025-2029 to be $7.8 billion. PNM and TNMP anticipate a trend toward increasing costs, for which they will have to seek regulatory recovery. These costs include, or are related to, costs of asset construction for generation, transmission, and distribution systems necessary to provide electric service, as well as the cost to remove and retire existing assets, environmental compliance expenditures, regulatory mandates to acquire power from renewable resources, regulation related to nuclear safety, increased costs related to cybersecurity, increased interest costs to finance capital investments, and depreciation. If the regulators do not authorize appropriate recovery of any of the costs discussed above, including undepreciated generating resources at the time those resources are removed from service and fails to authorize recovery of the costs of obtaining power to replace those resources, PNM and TNMP’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

Previous wording
The utility industry is facing increasing stakeholder scrutiny related to sustainability. Recently, TXNM has seen a rise in certain stakeholders, such as investors, customers, employees, and lenders, placing increasing importance on the impact and social cost associated with climate change. Federal GHG reduction measures setting standards and emission guidelines, and climate-related disclosure rules remain in a state of uncertainty. Therefore, TXNM is dealing with an uncertain regulatory and policy environment and increased scrutiny and changing stakeholder expectations with respect to environmental and climate change programs, judicial decisions, and international accords. Under the Biden Administration, EPA and other federal agencies have sought to expand climate change regulations and work to aggressively reduce GHG emissions. Although it is uncertain how the current Trump Administration will ultimately act with respect to these regulations, many state agencies, environmental advocacy groups, and other organizations will continue to focus on decarbonization with enhanced attention on GHG from fossil-fueled generation facilities. See discussion above and Note 17, regarding PNM’s abandonment applications and the ETA. PNM currently depends on fossil-fueled generation for 28.2% of its electricity. As discussed under Climate Change Issues, this type of generation is subject to existing and future EPA or state regulations requiring GHG reductions. The anticipated expansion of federal and state regulations could result in additional operating restrictions on facilities and increased generation and compliance costs.

Therefore, TXNM is dealing with an uncertain regulatory and policy environment and increased scrutiny and changing stakeholder expectations with respect to environmental and climate change programs, judicial decisions, and international accords. Under the Biden Administration, EPA and other federal agencies sought to expand climate change regulations and worked to aggressively reduce GHG emissions. On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing all agencies, including EPA, to review all agency actions and suspend, revise, or rescind those identified as imposing an undue burden on domestic energy resources. The order also expressly directs EPA to submit joint recommendations on the legality and continuing applicability of the 2009 Endangerment Finding for GHG. On January 7, 2026, EPA sent the proposed rule rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding to OMB. On February 12, 2026, the final rule was finalized as proposed, repealing all GHG emission standards for certain vehicles and engines promulgated on the basis of the Endangerment Finding. While the Endangerment Finding did not directly impose any requirements on EGUs, EPA has cited the Endangerment Finding as a basis for its authority to regulate GHG emissions from EGUs under CAA Section 111. PNM currently depends on fossil-fueled generation for 25.3% of its electricity. As discussed under Climate Change Issues, the existing and future EPA or state regulations regarding GHG reductions for this type of generation are under review. The expansion of federal and state regulations could result in additional operating restrictions on facilities and increased generation and compliance costs.
Previous wording
If PNM fails to timely obtain, maintain, or comply with any required environmental regulatory approval, operations at affected facilities could be suspended or could subject PNM to additional expenses and potential penalties. Failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations also could result in civil liability arising out of government enforcement actions or private claims. Environmental noncompliance could also result in reputational harm, which may cause stock price decreases or cause certain investors and financial institutions not to purchase the Company’s debt securities or otherwise provide the Company with capital or credit on favorable terms, which may cause the cost of capital to increase. In addition, TXNM and its operating subsidiaries may underestimate the costs of environmental compliance, liabilities, and litigation due to the uncertainty inherent in these matters. Although there is uncertainty about the timing and form of the implementation of EPA’s regulations regarding GHG emissions, climate change, CCRs, power plant emissions, changes to the ambient air quality

These factors and others may prompt customers to institute additional energy efficiency measures or take other actions that would result in lower energy consumption. If customers bypass or underutilize PNM’s and TNMP’s facilities through self-generation, renewable, or other energy resources, technological change, or other measures, revenues would be negatively impacted.
Previous wording
PNM’s and TNMP’s service territories include several military bases and federally funded national laboratories, as well as large industrial customers that have significant direct and indirect impacts on the local economies where they operate. The Company does not directly provide service to any of the military bases or national laboratories but does provide service to large industrial customers. The Company’s business could be hurt from the impacts on the local economies associated with these customer groups as well as directly from the large industrial customers for a number of reasons including federally-mandated base closures, significant curtailment of the activities at the bases or national laboratories, and closure of industrial facilities or significant curtailment of their activities.

PNM is obligated to supply power to retail customers. As PNM continues to complete the significant transition in generation resources necessary to achieve 100% carbon emission-free generation by 2040, there are certain potential deliverability and cost risks associated with this transition. These risks are in three main areas, including 1) risk of completion of replacement resources prior to planned generation unit retirements, 2) increasing levels of renewable generation presenting risks of uncertainty and variability that will be further compounded as neighboring systems transition towards increasing levels of renewable resources, and 3) risks for mitigating possible resource volatility through a shrinking energy market.

TXNM has an arrangement with a bank under which the bank has issued $19.3 million of letters of credit in favor of sureties in order for the sureties to post reclamation bonds that are required under the miner’s operating permit. The Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows could be negatively impacted if the current mine operator were to default on its obligations to reclaim the San Juan mine and TXNM is required to perform under the letter of credit support agreement.
Previous wording
TXNM and its subsidiaries currently have a significant amount of indebtedness, including the Convertible Notes. This significant amount of indebtedness could limit TXNM’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, stock repurchases or other purposes. It may also increase TXNM’s vulnerability to adverse economic, market and industry conditions, limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business operations or to its industry overall, and place TXNM at a disadvantage in relation to its competitors that have lower debt levels. Any or all of the above events and/or factors could have an adverse effect on TXNM’s results of operations and financial condition.

Previous wording
TXNM and its subsidiaries’ ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance, its indebtedness, including the Convertible Notes, depends on its future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond its control. TXNM’s business may not continue to generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service its debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If TXNM is unable to generate such cash flow, TXNM may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. TXNM’s ability to refinance its indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. TXNM may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on its debt obligations.

Previous wording
Despite TXNM’s current consolidated debt levels, TXNM and its subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future, subject to the restrictions contained in its debt instruments, some of which may be senior indebtedness or secured debt. TXNM is not restricted under the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture from incurring additional debt, securing existing or future debt, recapitalizing its debt or taking a number of other actions. TXNM’s Credit Agreement restricts its ability to incur additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, but if the TXNM Credit Agreement matures or is repaid, TXNM may not be subject to such restrictions under the terms of any subsequent indebtedness.

The fundamental change repurchase features of the Convertible Notes and the TNMP first mortgage bonds may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial attempt to acquire TXNM.
Current wording
The fundamental change repurchase features of the Convertible Notes may delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial attempt to acquire TXNM.
Previous wording
Certain provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes and the TNMP first mortgage bonds may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire TXNM. For example, the Convertible Notes Indenture requires TXNM, subject to certain exceptions, to repurchase the Convertible Notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) and, in certain circumstances, to increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts its Convertible Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture). In addition, the supplemental indentures governing certain of the TNMP first mortgage bonds include a provision whereby a change in control in TNMP or TXNM would obligate TNMP to offer to prepay all of such bonds. A takeover of TXNM may trigger the requirement that TXNM repurchase TNMP first mortgage bonds or the Convertible Notes and/or increase the conversion rate on the Convertible Notes, which could make it more costly for a potential acquirer to engage in such takeover. Such additional costs may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover of TXNM that would otherwise be beneficial to investors.

Previous wording
The NMPRC has placed certain restrictions on the ability of PNM to pay dividends to TXNM, including that PNM cannot pay dividends that cause its debt rating to fall below investment grade. The NMPRC has also restricted PNM from paying dividends in any year, as determined on a rolling four-quarter basis, in excess of net earnings without prior NMPRC approval. PNM is permitted to pay dividends to TXNM from prior equity contributions made by TXNM. Additionally, TXNM’s financing agreements generally include a covenant to maintain a debt-to-capitalization ratio that does not exceed 70%, and PNM and TNMP’s financing arrangements generally include a covenant to maintain debt-to-capitalization ratios that do not exceed 65%. PNM also has various financial covenants that limit the transfer of assets, through dividends or other means and the Federal Power Act imposes certain restrictions on dividends paid by public utilities, including that dividends cannot be paid from paid-in capital.

Previous wording
TXNM and its subsidiaries rely on access to both short-term and longer-term capital markets as sources of liquidity for any capital requirements not satisfied by cash flow from operations. In general, the Company relies on its short-term credit facilities as the initial source to finance construction expenditures. This results in increased borrowings under the facilities over time. The Company is currently projecting total construction expenditures for the years 2025-2029 to be $7.8 billion. If TXNM or its operating subsidiaries are not able to access capital at competitive rates, or at all, TXNM’s ability to finance capital requirements and implement its strategy will be limited. Disruptions in the credit markets, which could negatively impact the Company’s access to capital, could be caused by an economic recession, declines in the health of the banking sector generally or the failure of specific banks who are parties to the Company’s credit facilities, deterioration in the overall health of the utility industry, the bankruptcy of an unrelated energy company, war, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity attacks, or threatened attacks.

Previous wording
If the Company’s cash flow and credit and capital resources are insufficient to fund capital expenditure plans, the Company may be forced to delay important capital investments, sell assets, seek additional equity or debt capital, or restructure debt. In addition, insufficient cash flows and capital resources may result in reductions of credit ratings. This could negatively impact the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness on acceptable terms and would result in an increase in the interest rates applicable under the Company’s credit facilities. The Company’s cash flow and capital resources may be insufficient to pay interest and principal on debt in the future. If that should occur, the Company’s capital raising or debt restructuring measures may be unsuccessful or inadequate to meet scheduled debt service obligations. This could cause the Company to default on its obligations and further impair liquidity.

In 2024, the Corporate Investment Committee approved a revised target for the NDT investment portfolio of 30% fixed income, 45% equity securities, and 25% alternative investments. The Company is in process of implementing the revised strategy. The current asset allocation exposes the NDT investment portfolio to market and macroeconomic factors. Declines in market values could result in increased funding of the trusts, the recognition of losses as impairments for the NDT and coal mine reclamation trusts, SJGS decommissioning trust, and additional expense for the benefit plans. In addition, a change in GAAP required that all changes in the fair value of equity securities recorded on the Company’s balance sheet be reflected in earnings, which results in increased volatility in earnings.
