Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 9, 2015, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”) entered into a new term loan facility. The $150 million Term Loan Agreement (the “PNMR Term Loan Agreement”) between PNMR, the lenders identified therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Lender and Administrative Agent, has a maturity date of March 9, 2018.

PNMR must pay interest on its borrowing under the PNMR Term Loan Agreement from time to time following funding and must repay all amounts on or before the maturity date.

The PNMR Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including requirements to not exceed a maximum consolidated debt to consolidated capitalization ratio. The PNMR Term Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default. The PNMR Term Loan Agreement has a cross default provision and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, the administrative agent thereunder may, or upon the request and direction of the lenders holding a specified percentage of loans shall, declare the obligations outstanding under the PNMR Term Loan Agreement to be due and payable. Such acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.

The description of the PNMR Term Loan Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire PNMR Term Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and the other lenders and their respective affiliates perform normal banking (including as lender under other facilities) and investment banking and advisory services from time to time for PNMR and its affiliates, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.
