Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

$1.0 Billion Delayed Draw Term Loan

On May 18, 2021, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”), entered into a $1.0 billion delayed-draw term loan agreement (the “$1.0 Billion Term Loan”), among PNMR, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent. The $1.0 Billion Term Loan is effective as of May 18, 2021 and has a maturity date of May 18, 2023. PNMR used proceeds to prepay without penalty $92.1 million of borrowings under PNMR’s $300.0 million revolving credit agreement, dated as of July 30, 2018, as amended, among PNMR, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. This credit agreement remains available for use. PNMR also used proceeds to repay indebtedness identified below. PNMR expects to use the remaining proceeds of the $1.0 Billion Term Loan for general corporate purposes, including capital contributions to PNMR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries.

PNMR must pay interest on its borrowing under the $1.0 Billion Term Loan from time to time following funding and must repay all amounts on or before the maturity date.

The $1.0 Billion 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 $1.0 Billion Term Loan also includes customary events of default, a cross default provision, and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, Wells Fargo may declare the obligations outstanding under the $1.0 Billion Term Loan to be due and payable. Such acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.

As previously disclosed, on October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid, Inc. (“Avangrid”), and NM Green Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR (the “Merger”), with PNMR surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. The $1.0 Billion Term Loan provides that substantially concurrently with the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, PNMR will assign to Avangrid all of its rights, duties, obligations and liabilities under the $1.0 Billion Term Loan and Avangrid will assume from PNMR, as its direct and primary obligation, the payment and performance of all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of PNMR under the $1.0 Billion Term Loan pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the $1.0 Billion Term Loan in the form of an amended and restated credit agreement attached to the $1.0 Billion Term Loan.

The above description of the $1.0 Billion Term Loan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire $1.0 Billion Term Loan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Wells Fargo and the Lenders perform normal banking (including as lenders under other facilities) and investment banking and advisory services from time to time for PNMR and its affiliates, for which each receives customary fees and expenses.
