NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


(1)    Significant Accounting Policies and Responsibility for Financial Statements

Financial Statement Preparation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimated. Weather causes the Company’s results of operations to be seasonal in nature and the results of operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

The Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include disclosures for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. This report uses the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. Discussions regarding only PNMR, PNM, or TNMP are so indicated. Certain amounts in the 2021 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 financial statement presentation.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual audited Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations. Readers of these financial statements should refer to PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are included in their respective 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

GAAP defines subsequent events as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Based on their nature, magnitude, and timing, certain subsequent events may be required to be reflected at the balance sheet date and/or required to be disclosed in the financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events accordingly.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include their accounts and those of subsidiaries in which that entity owns a majority voting interest. PNM also consolidates Valencia. See Note 6. PNM owns undivided interests in several jointly-owned power plants and records its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities, and expenses for those plants. The agreements for the jointly-owned plants provide that if an owner were to default on its payment obligations, the non-defaulting owners would be responsible for their proportionate share of the obligations of the defaulting owner. In exchange, the non-defaulting owners would be entitled to their proportionate share of the generating capacity of the defaulting owner. There have been no such payment defaults under any of the agreements for the jointly-owned plants.

PNMR Services Company expenses, which represent costs that are primarily driven by corporate level activities, are charged to the business segments. These services are billed at cost and are reflected as general and administrative expenses in the business segments. Other significant intercompany transactions between PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include interest and income tax sharing payments, as well as equity transactions, and interconnection billings. See Note 15. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Dividends on Common Stock

Dividends on PNMR’s common stock are declared by the Board. The timing of the declaration of dividends is dependent on the timing of meetings and other actions of the Board. The Board declared dividends on common stock of $0.3475 per share in February 2022 and $0.3275 per share in March 2021, which are reflected as "Dividends Declared per Common Share" on the PNMR Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

PNMR did not make any cash equity contributions to PNM or TNMP in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Neither PNM nor TNMP declared or paid any cash dividends to PNMR in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(2)     Segment Information

The following segment presentation is based on the methodology that management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities. A reconciliation of the segment presentation to the GAAP financial statements is provided.

PNM

PNM includes the retail electric utility operations of PNM that are subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC. PNM provides integrated electricity services that include the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity for retail electric customers in New Mexico. PNM also includes the generation and sale of electricity into the wholesale market, as well as providing transmission services to third parties. The sale of electricity includes the asset optimization of PNM’s jurisdictional capacity, as well as the capacity excluded from retail rates. FERC has jurisdiction over wholesale power and transmission rates.

TNMP

TNMP is an electric utility providing services in Texas under the TECA. TNMP’s operations are subject to traditional rate regulation by the PUCT. TNMP provides transmission and distribution services at regulated rates to various REPs that, in turn, provide retail electric service to consumers within TNMP’s service area. TNMP also provides transmission services at regulated rates to other utilities that interconnect with TNMP’s facilities.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment includes PNMR holding company activities, primarily related to corporate level debt and PNMR Services Company. The activities of PNMR Development and the equity method investment in NMRD are also included in Corporate and Other. Eliminations of intercompany transactions are reflected in the Corporate and Other segment.

The following tables present summarized financial information for PNMR by segment. PNM and TNMP each operate in only one segment. Therefore, tabular segment information is not presented for PNM and TNMP.

The Company defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy. Cost of energy consists primarily of fuel and purchase power costs for PNM and costs charged by third-party transmission providers for TNMP. The Company believes that utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating operations than electric operating revenues since substantially all such costs are offset in revenues as fuel and purchase power costs are passed through to customers under PNM’s FPPAC and third-party transmission costs are passed on to customers through TNMP’s transmission cost recovery factor. Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be presented and is considered a non-GAAP measure.

(5)   Electric Operating Revenues

PNMR is an investor-owned holding company with two regulated utilities providing electricity and electric services in New Mexico and Texas. PNMR’s electric utilities are PNM and TNMP.

Additional information concerning electric operating revenue is contained in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables from customers. In the normal course of business, credit is extended to customers on a short-term basis. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables based on historical experience and estimated default rates. Accounts receivable balances are reviewed monthly, adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are made as necessary and amounts that are deemed uncollectible are written off.

As a result of the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, PNM updated its allowance for accounts receivable balances and recorded incremental credit losses of $(0.9) million and $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The NMPRC issued an order authorizing all public utilities to create a regulatory asset to defer incremental costs related to COVID-19, including increases in uncollectible accounts. See discussion regarding regulatory treatment in Note 12.

In addition to the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables, the Company has evaluated other receivables for potential credit related losses. These balances include potential exposures for other non-retail utility services. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no estimated credit losses related to these transactions.

In February 2021, Texas experienced a severe winter storm delivering the coldest temperatures in 100 years for many parts of the state. As a result, the ERCOT market was not able to deliver sufficient generation load to the grid resulting in significant, statewide outages as ERCOT directed transmission operators to curtail thousands of firm load megawatts. TNMP complied with ERCOT directives to curtail delivery of electricity in its service territory and did not experience significant outages on its system outside of the ERCOT directed curtailments. During the weather event, generators experienced an extreme spike in market driven fuel prices and in turn charged REPs excessive market driven power prices which eventually get passed to end users on their electricity bill. Given the uncertainty of the collectability of end users' bills by REPs, ERCOT also

increased the collateral required by REPs in order to do business within ERCOT's Balancing Authority. TNMP deferred bad debt expense (credit losses) from defaulting REPs to a regulatory asset which totaled $0.8 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and will seek recovery in a general rate case.

Contract Balances

Performance obligations related to contracts with customers are typically satisfied when the energy is delivered and the customer or end-user utilizes the energy. Accounts receivable from customers represent amounts billed, including amounts under ARPs. For PNM, accounts receivable reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of allowance for credit losses, includes $77.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $86.8 million at December 31, 2021 resulting from contracts with customers. All of TNMP’s accounts receivable results from contracts with customers.

Contract assets are an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time (for example, the entity’s future performance). Upon the completion of the Western Spirit Line, PNM entered into a TSA with Pattern Wind under an incremental tariff rate approved by FERC. The terms of the agreement provide for a financing component that benefits the customer. As such, the revenue that PNM recognizes will be in excess of the consideration received at the beginning of the service term resulting in a contract asset. The balance of the contract asset as of March 31, 2022 is $3.4 million and $0.6 million as of December 31, 2021. This contract asset is presented in Other deferred charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Contract liabilities arise when consideration is received in advance from a customer before satisfying the performance obligations. Therefore, revenue is deferred and not recognized until the obligation is satisfied. Under its OATT, PNM accepts upfront consideration for capacity reservations requested by transmission customers, which requires PNM to defer the customer’s transmission capacity rights for a specific period of time. PNM recognizes the revenue of these capacity reservations over the period it defers the customer's capacity rights. Other utilities pay PNM and TNMP in advance for the joint-use of their utility poles. These revenues are recognized over the period of time specified in the joint-use contract, typically for one calendar year. Deferred revenues on these arrangements are recorded as contract liabilities. PNMR's, PNM's, and TNMP's contract liabilities and related revenues are insignificant for all periods presented. The Company has no other arrangements with remaining performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price would be required to be allocated.

(6)     Variable Interest Entities

How an enterprise evaluates and accounts for its involvement with variable interest entities, focuses primarily on whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This evaluation requires continual reassessment of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Additional information concerning PNM’s VIEs is contained in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Valencia

PNM has a PPA to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a 155 MW natural gas-fired power plant near Belen, New Mexico, through May 2028. A third party built, owns, and operates the facility while PNM is the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. PNM is obligated to pay fixed operation and maintenance and capacity charges in addition to variable operation and maintenance charges under this PPA. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, PNM paid $4.8 million and $4.9 million for fixed charges and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for variable charges. PNM does not have any other financial obligations related to Valencia. The assets of Valencia can only be used to satisfy its obligations and creditors of Valencia do not have any recourse against PNM’s assets. During the term of the PPA, PNM has the option, under certain conditions, to purchase and own up to 50% of the plant or the VIE. The PPA specifies that the purchase price would be the greater of 50% of book value reduced by related indebtedness or 50% of fair market value.

PNM sources fuel for the plant, controls when the facility operates through its dispatch, and receives the entire output of the plant, which factors directly and significantly impact the economic performance of Valencia. Therefore, PNM has concluded that the third-party entity that owns Valencia is a VIE and that PNM is the primary beneficiary of the entity since PNM has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Valencia and will absorb the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the plant. As the primary beneficiary, PNM consolidates Valencia in its financial statements. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of Valencia are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of PNM although PNM has no legal ownership interest or voting control of the VIE. The assets and liabilities of Valencia set forth below are immaterial to PNM and, therefore, not shown separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The owner’s equity and net income of Valencia are considered attributable to non-controlling interest.

Westmoreland San Juan Mining, LLC

As discussed in the subheading Coal Supply in Note 11, PNM purchases coal for SJGS under the SJGS CSA. On October 9, 2018, Westmoreland filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC announcing it had filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On March 15, 2019, Westmoreland emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy as a privately held company owned and operated by a group of its former creditors. Under the reorganization, the assets of SJCC were sold to Westmoreland San Juan Mining, LLC (“WSJ LLC”), a subsidiary of Westmoreland Mining Holdings, LLC. As successor entity to SJCC, WSJ LLC assumed all rights and obligations of SJCC including obligations to PNM under the SJGS CSA and to PNMR under letter of credit support agreements.

PNMR issued $30.3 million in letters of credit to facilitate the issuance of reclamation bonds required in order for SJCC to mine coal to be supplied to SJGS. As discussed above, WSJ LLC assumed the rights and obligations of SJCC, including obligations to PNMR for the letters of credit. The letters of credit support results in PNMR having a variable interest in WSJ LLC since PNMR is subject to possible loss in the event performance by PNMR is required under the letters of credit support. PNMR considers the possibility of loss under the letters of credit support to be remote since the purpose of posting the bonds is to provide assurance that WSJ LLC performs the required reclamation of the mine site in accordance with applicable regulations and all reclamation costs are reimbursable under the SJGS CSA. Also, much of the mine reclamation activities will not be performed until after the expiration of the SJGS CSA. In addition, each of the SJGS participants has established and actively fund trusts to meet future reclamation obligations.
WSJ LLC is considered a VIE.  PNMR’s analysis of its arrangements with WSJ LLC concluded that WSJ LLC has the ability to direct its mining operations, which is the factor that most significantly impacts the economic performance of WSJ LLC.  Other than PNM being able to ensure that coal is supplied in adequate quantities and of sufficient quality to provide the fuel necessary to operate SJGS in a normal manner, the mining operations are solely under the control of WSJ LLC, including developing mining plans, hiring of personnel, and incurring operating and maintenance expenses. Neither PNMR nor PNM has any ability to direct or influence the mining operation.  PNM’s involvement through the SJGS CSA is a protective right rather than a participating right and WSJ LLC has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of WSJ LLC.  The SJGS CSA requires WSJ LLC to deliver coal required to fuel SJGS in exchange for payment of a set price per ton, which is escalated over time for inflation.  If WSJ LLC is able to mine more efficiently than anticipated, its economic performance will be improved.  Conversely, if WSJ LLC cannot mine as efficiently as anticipated, its economic performance will be negatively impacted.  Accordingly, PNMR believes WSJ LLC is the primary beneficiary and, therefore, WSJ LLC is not consolidated by either PNMR or PNM. The amounts outstanding under the letters of credit support constitute PNMR’s maximum exposure to loss from the VIE at March 31, 2022.

(7)    Fair Value of Derivative and Other Financial Instruments

Additional information concerning energy related derivative contracts and other financial instruments is contained in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is based on current market quotes as available and is supplemented by modeling techniques and assumptions made by the Company to the extent quoted market prices or volatilities are not available. External pricing input availability varies based on commodity location, market liquidity, and term of the agreement. Valuations of derivative assets and liabilities take into account nonperformance risk, including the effect of counterparties’ and the Company’s credit risk. The Company regularly assesses the validity and availability of pricing data for its derivative transactions. Although the Company uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.

Energy Related Derivative Contracts
Overview

The primary objective for the use of commodity derivative instruments, including energy contracts, options, swaps, and futures, is to manage price risk associated with forecasted purchases of energy and fuel used to generate electricity, as well as managing anticipated generation capacity in excess of forecasted demand from existing customers. PNM’s energy related derivative contracts manage commodity risk. PNM is required to meet the demand and energy needs of its customers. PNM is exposed to market risk for the needs of its customers not covered under the FPPAC.

In 2021, PNM entered into three agreements to purchase power from third parties at a fixed price in order to ensure that customer demand during the 2022 summer peak load period is met. Two of the agreements, the purchase of 85 MW from June through September 2022 and the purchase of 40 MW for the full year of 2022, are not considered derivatives because there are no notional amounts due to the unit-contingent nature of the agreements. The third agreement for the purchase of 150 MW firm power in June and September 2022 meets the definition of an economic hedge described below and has been accounted for accordingly.

Beginning January 1, 2018, PNM is exposed to market risk for its 65 MW interest in SJGS Unit 4, which is held as merchant plant as ordered by the NMPRC. PNM has entered into agreements to sell power from 36 MW of that capacity to a third party at a fixed price for the period January 1, 2018 through May 31, 2022, subject to certain conditions. Under these agreements, PNM is obligated to deliver 36 MW of power only when SJGS Unit 4 is operating.  These agreements are not considered derivatives because there is no notional amount due to the unit-contingent nature of the transactions.

PNM and Tri-State have a hazard sharing agreement that expires in May 2022. Under this agreement, each party sells the other party 100 MW of capacity and energy from a designated generation resource on a unit contingent basis, subject to certain performance guarantees.  Both the purchases and sales are made at the same market index price.  This agreement serves to reduce the magnitude of each party’s single largest generating hazard and assists in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of their respective operations. PNM passes the sales and purchases through to customers under PNM’s FPPAC.

PNM’s operations are managed primarily through a net asset-backed strategy, whereby PNM’s aggregate net open forward contract position is covered by its forecasted excess generation capabilities or market purchases. PNM could be exposed to market risk if its generation capabilities were to be disrupted or if its load requirements were to be greater than anticipated. If all or a portion of load requirements were required to be covered as a result of such unexpected situations, commitments would have to be met through market purchases. TNMP does not enter into energy related derivative contracts.

Commodity Risk

Marketing and procurement of energy often involve market risks associated with managing energy commodities and establishing positions in the energy markets, primarily on a short-term basis. PNM routinely enters into various derivative instruments such as forward contracts, option agreements, and price basis swap agreements to economically hedge price and volume risk on power commitments and fuel requirements and to minimize the effect of market fluctuations. PNM monitors the market risk of its commodity contracts in accordance with approved risk and credit policies.

Unusually cold weather in February 2021 resulted in higher than expected natural gas and purchased power costs. PNM mitigated the impacts from the cold weather by securing gas supplies in advance, engaging in market purchases when lower prices were available, and adjusting plant operation of its gas units to minimize reliance on higher-priced gas supplies. PNM estimates the impact of the cold weather conditions in the first quarter of 2021 resulted in approximately $20 million of additional natural gas costs and approximately $8 million in additional purchased power costs. These fuel increases were passed through to customers under the FPPAC.

Accounting for Derivatives

Under derivative accounting and related rules for energy contracts, PNM accounts for its various instruments for the purchase and sale of energy, which meet the definition of a derivative, based on PNM’s intent. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, PNM was not hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows from commodity derivatives through designated cash flows hedges. The derivative contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify or are not designated for cash flow hedge accounting are classified as economic hedges. Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power agreements, used to economically hedge generation assets, purchased power and fuel costs, and customer load requirements. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are reflected in results of operations and are classified between operating revenues and cost of energy according to the intent of the hedge. PNM also uses such instruments under an NMPRC approved hedging plan to manage fuel and purchased power costs related to customers covered by its FPPAC. Changes in the fair value of instruments covered by its FPPAC are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. PNM has no trading transactions.

Commodity Derivatives

PNM’s commodity derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value, all of which are accounted for as economic hedges and considered Level 2 fair value measurements, are presented in the following line items on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Certain of PNM’s commodity derivative instruments in the above table are subject to master netting agreements whereby assets and liabilities could be offset in the settlement process. PNM does not offset fair value and cash collateral for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements and the above table reflects the gross amounts of fair value assets and liabilities for commodity derivatives. Included in the table above are equal amounts of current assets and current liabilities aggregating $0.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2021, resulting from PNM’s hazard sharing arrangements with Tri-State. The hazard sharing arrangements are net-settled upon delivery.

As discussed above, PNM has a NMPRC-approved hedging plan to manage fuel and purchased power costs related to customers covered by its FPPAC. The table above includes zero and $0.2 million in current assets and $3.7 million and $1.8 million of current liabilities related to this plan at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PNM had no amounts recognized for the legal right to reclaim cash collateral. However, at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts posted as cash collateral under margin arrangements were $0.5 million, which is included in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, obligations to return cash collateral were $0.9 million, which is included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The effects of mark-to-market commodity derivative instruments on PNM’s revenues and cost of energy during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were less than $0.1 million. Commodity derivatives had no impact on OCI for any of the periods presented.

PNM's net buy (sell) volume positions for energy were 122,400 MWh at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. PNM had no open gas commodity volume positions at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

PNM has contingent requirements to provide collateral under commodity contracts having an objectively determinable collateral provision that are in net liability positions and are not fully collateralized with cash. In connection with managing its commodity risks, PNM enters into master agreements with certain counterparties. If PNM is in a net liability position under an agreement, some agreements provide that the counterparties can request collateral if PNM’s credit rating is downgraded; other agreements provide that the counterparty may request collateral to provide it with “adequate assurance” that PNM will perform; and others have no provision for collateral. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PNM had no such contracts in a net liability position.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value for cash, receivables, and payables due to the short period of maturity. Investment securities are carried at fair value. Investment securities consist of PNM assets held in the NDT for its share of decommissioning costs of PVNGS and trusts for PNM’s share of final reclamation costs related to the coal mines serving SJGS and Four Corners. See Note 11. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of investment securities included $364.1 million and $394.5 million for the NDT and $67.0 million and $68.6 million for the mine reclamation trusts.

PNM records a realized loss as an impairment for any available-for-sale debt security that has a fair value that is less than its carrying value. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PNM had no available-for-sale debt securities for which carrying value exceeds fair value and there are no impairments considered to be “other than temporary” that are included in AOCI and not recognized in earnings. All gains and losses resulting from sales and changes in the fair value of equity securities are recognized immediately in earnings. Gains and losses recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to investment securities in the NDT and reclamation trusts are presented in the following table:

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company determines the fair values of its derivative and other financial instruments based on the hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For investment securities, Level 2 and Level 3 fair values are provided by fund managers utilizing a pricing service. For Level 2 fair values, the pricing provider predominantly uses the market approach using bid side market values based upon a hierarchy of information for specific securities or securities with similar characteristics. Fair values of Level 2 investments in mutual funds are equal to net asset value. For commodity derivatives, Level 2 fair values are determined based on market observable inputs, which are validated using multiple broker quotes, including forward price, volatility, and interest rate curves to establish expectations of future prices. Credit valuation adjustments are made for estimated credit losses based on the overall exposure to each counterparty. For the Company’s long-term debt, Level 2 fair values are provided by an external pricing service. The pricing service primarily utilizes quoted prices for similar debt in active markets when determining fair value. The valuation of Level 3 investments, when applicable, requires significant judgment by the pricing provider due to the absence of quoted market values, changes in market conditions, and the long-term nature of the assets. The Company has no Level 3 investments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Management of the Company independently verifies the information provided by pricing services.

(8)    Stock-Based Compensation

PNMR has various stock-based compensation programs, which provide restricted stock awards under the Performance Equity Plan (“PEP”). Although certain PNM and TNMP employees participate in the PNMR plans, PNM and TNMP do not have separate employee stock-based compensation plans. Certain restricted stock awards are subject to achieving performance or market targets. Other awards of restricted stock are only subject to time vesting requirements. Restricted stock expected to be awarded under the PEP for performance periods ending after 2023, no longer have market targets. Additional information concerning stock-based compensation under the PEP is contained in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Restricted stock under the PEP refers to awards of stock subject to vesting, performance, or market conditions rather than to shares with contractual post-vesting restrictions. Generally, the awards vest ratably over three years from the grant date of the award. However, awards with performance or market conditions vest upon satisfaction of those conditions. In addition, plan provisions provide that upon retirement, participants become 100% vested in certain stock awards. The vesting period for awards of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board is one-year.

The stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards without performance or market conditions to participants that are retirement eligible on the grant date is recognized immediately at the grant date and is not amortized. Compensation expense for other such awards is amortized over the shorter of the requisite vesting period or the period until the participant becomes retirement eligible. Compensation expense for performance-based shares is recognized ratably over the performance period as required service is provided and is adjusted periodically to reflect the level of achievement expected to be attained. Compensation expense related to market-based shares is recognized ratably over the measurement period, regardless of the actual level of achievement, provided the employees meet their service requirements. At March 31, 2022, PNMR had unrecognized expense related to stock awards of $6.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over an average of 2.0 years.

The grant date fair value for restricted stock and stock awards with internal Company performance targets is determined based on the market price of PNMR common stock on the date of the agreements reduced by the present value of future dividends that will not be received prior to vesting. The grant date fair value is applied to the total number of shares that are anticipated to vest, although the number of performance shares that ultimately vest cannot be determined until after the performance periods end. The grant date fair value of stock awards with market targets were determined using Monte Carlo simulation models, which provide grant date fair values that include an expectation of the number of shares to vest at the end of the measurement period.

(9)   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 or enter into term loan 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 PNMR 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 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Financing Activities

On April 27, 2022, TNMP entered into an agreement (the "TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement") with institutional investors for the sale of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of TNMP first mortgage bonds (the "TNMP 2022 Bonds") offered in private placement transactions. TNMP will issue the first series of $65.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds on May 12, 2022, at a 4.13% interest rate, due May 12, 2052 and the second series of $95.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds will be issued on or before July 28, 2022, at a 3.81% interest rate, due July 28, 2032. The proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes. The TNMP 2022 Bonds are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds. The terms of the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a change of control, TNMP will be required to offer to prepay the TNMP 2022 Bonds at par. However, the definition of change of control in the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds will not be triggered by the close of the Merger. TNMP has the right to redeem any or all of the TNMP 2022 Bonds prior to their maturity, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium.

On May 18, 2021, PNMR entered into a $1.0 billion delayed-draw term loan agreement (the “PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan”), among PNMR, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. In 2021, PNMR drew $900.0 million to repay and terminate existing indebtedness as discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On January 24, 2022, PNMR drew the remaining $100.0 million available.

On March 9, 2018, PNMR issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% SUNs (the “PNMR 2018 SUNs”), which matured on March 9, 2021. On December 22, 2020, PNMR entered into the $300.0 million PNMR 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan with a January 2022 maturity and drew $80.0 million to refinance existing indebtedness and for other corporate purposes. On March 9, 2021, PNMR utilized the remaining $220.0 million of capacity under the PNMR 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan to repay an equivalent amount of the PNMR 2018 SUNs. The remaining $80.0 million repayment of the PNMR 2018 SUNs was funded through borrowings under the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility. The PNMR 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan was prepaid without penalty in May 2021 with proceeds from the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan.

At March 31, 2022, variable interest rates were 1.29% on the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan that matures in May 2023 and 1.28% on the PNM 2021 Term Loan that matures in December 2022.

Short-term Debt and Liquidity

Currently, the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $300.0 million and the PNM Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $400.0 million. Both facilities currently expire on October 31, 2023 and contain options to be extended through October 2024, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. PNM also has the $40.0 million PNM 2017 New Mexico Credit Facility that expires on December 12, 2022. The TNMP Revolving Credit Facility has a financing capacity of $75.0 million secured by $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds. On March 11, 2022, the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity to September 23, 2024, replace the LIBOR benchmark with SOFR, include two one-year extension options, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders, and incorporate an accordion feature that would allow TNMP to increase the size of the revolver to $100.0 million subject to certain conditions. PNMR Development had a $40.0 million revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2022. On May 18, 2021, the PNMR Development Revolving Credit Facility was terminated. Variable interest rates under the PNMR and PNM facilities are based on LIBOR but contain provisions which allow for the replacement of LIBOR with other widely accepted interest rates.

Additional information on debt maturities is contained in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

(10)   Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

PNMR and its subsidiaries maintain qualified defined benefit pension plans, postretirement benefit plans providing medical and dental benefits, and executive retirement programs (collectively, the “PNM Plans” and “TNMP Plans”). PNMR maintains the legal obligation for the benefits owed to participants under these plans. The periodic costs or income of the PNM Plans and TNMP Plans are included in regulated rates to the extent attributable to regulated operations. The Company presents the service cost component of its net periodic benefit costs in administrative and general expenses and the non-service costs components in other income (deductions), net of amounts capitalized or deferred to regulatory assets and liabilities, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. PNM and TNMP receive a regulated return on the amounts funded for pension and OPEB plans in excess of accumulated periodic cost or income to the extent included in retail rates (a “prepaid pension asset”).

Additional information concerning pension and OPEB plans is contained in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Annual net periodic benefit cost for the plans is actuarially determined using the methods and assumptions set forth in that note and is recognized ratably throughout the year. Differences between TNMP's annual net periodic costs (income) and amounts included in its regulated rates are deferred to regulatory assets or liabilities, for recovery or refund in future rate proceedings.

PNM did not make any contributions to its pension plan trust in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and does not anticipate making any contributions to the pension plan in 2022 through 2026 based on current law, funding requirements, and estimates of portfolio performance. Funding assumptions were developed using a discount rate of 2.9%. Actual amounts to be funded in the future will be dependent on the actuarial assumptions at that time, including the appropriate discount rate. PNM may make additional contributions at its discretion. PNM did not make any cash contributions to the OPEB trust in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, however, a portion of the disbursements attributable to the OPEB trust are paid by PNM and are therefore considered to be contributions to the OPEB plan. Payments by PNM on behalf of the PNM OPEB plan were $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. These payments are expected to total $3.2 million in 2022 and $11.9 million for 2023-2026. Disbursements under the executive retirement program, which are funded by PNM and considered to be contributions to the plan, were $0.4 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and are expected to total $1.3 million during 2022 and $4.7 million for 2023-2026.

the period 2022-2026. Disbursements under the executive retirement program, which are funded by TNMP and considered to be contributions to the plan, were zero in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and are expected to total $0.1 million during 2022 and $0.3 million in 2023-2026.

(11)   Commitments and Contingencies

Overview
There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and periodically participates in the investigation and remediation of various sites. In addition, the Company periodically enters into financial commitments in connection with its business operations. Also, the Company is involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings in the normal course of its business. See Note 12. It is not possible at this time for the Company to determine fully the effect of all litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

With respect to some of the items listed below, the Company has determined that a loss is not probable or that, to the extent probable, cannot be reasonably estimated. In some cases, the Company is not able to predict with any degree of certainty the range of possible loss that could be incurred. The Company assesses legal and regulatory matters based on current information and makes judgments concerning their potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of any damages sought, and the probability of success. Such judgments are made with the understanding that the outcome of any litigation, investigation, or other legal proceeding is inherently uncertain. The Company records liabilities for matters where it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The actual outcomes of the items listed below could ultimately differ from the judgments made and the differences could be material. The Company cannot make any assurances that the amount of reserves or potential insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover the cash obligations that might be incurred as a result of litigation or regulatory proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed, the Company does not expect that any known lawsuits, environmental costs, and commitments will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Additional information concerning commitments and contingencies is contained in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Commitments and Contingencies Related to the Environment

Nuclear Spent Fuel and Waste Disposal

Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with the DOE that require the DOE to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste Policy Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE announced that it would not be able to open the repository by 1998 and sought to excuse its performance of these requirements. In November 1997, the DC Circuit issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay but refused to order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOE’s delay, a number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other PVNGS owners, including PNM), filed damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims. The lawsuits filed by APS alleged that damages were incurred due to DOE’s continuing failure to remove spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste from PVNGS. In August 2014, APS and the DOE entered into a settlement agreement that establishes a process for the payment of claims for costs incurred through December 31, 2019. In July 2020, APS accepted the DOE's extension of the settlement agreement for recovery of costs incurred through December 31, 2022. Under the settlement agreement, APS must submit claims annually for payment of allowable costs. PNM records estimated claims on a quarterly basis. The benefit from the claims is passed through to customers under the FPPAC to the extent applicable to NMPRC regulated operations.

PNM estimates that it will incur approximately $59.6 million (in 2019 dollars) for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at PVNGS during the term of the operating licenses. PNM accrues these costs as a component of fuel expense as the nuclear fuel is consumed. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PNM had a liability for interim storage costs of $12.4 million and $13.0 million, which is included in other deferred credits.

PVNGS has sufficient capacity at its on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (“ISFSI”) to store all of the nuclear fuel that will be irradiated during the initial operating license period, which ends in December 2027.  Additionally, PVNGS has sufficient capacity at its on-site ISFSI to store a portion of the fuel that will be irradiated during the period of

extended operation, which ends in November 2047.  If uncertainties regarding the U.S. government’s obligation to accept and store spent fuel are not favorably resolved, APS will evaluate alternative storage solutions that may obviate the need to expand the ISFSI to accommodate all of the fuel that will be irradiated during the period of extended operation.

The Energy Transition Act

In 2019, the Governor signed into New Mexico state law Senate Bill 489, known as the Energy Transition Act (“ETA”). The ETA became effective as of June 14, 2019 and sets a statewide standard that requires investor-owned electric utilities to have specified percentages of their electric-generating portfolios be from renewable and zero-carbon generating resources. The ETA amends the REA and requires utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. The ETA also amends sections of the REA to allow for the recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA requires the NMPRC to review and approve utilities’ annual renewable portfolio plans to ensure compliance with the RPS. The ETA also directs the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board to adopt standards of performance that limit CO2 emissions to no more than 1,100 lbs. per MWh beginning January 1, 2023 for new or existing coal-fired EGUs with original installed capacities exceeding 300 MW.

The ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fuel generation resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources through certain provisions relating to the abandonment of coal-fired generating facilities. These provisions include the use of energy transition bonds, which are designed to be highly rated bonds that can be issued to finance certain costs of abandoning coal-fired facilities that are retired prior to January 1, 2023 for facilities operated by a “qualifying utility,” or prior to January 1, 2032 for facilities that are not operated by a qualifying utility. The amount of energy transition bonds that can be issued to recover abandonment costs is limited to the lesser of $375.0 million or 150% of the undepreciated investment of the facility as of the abandonment date. Proceeds provided by energy transition bonds must be used only for purposes related to providing utility service to customers and to pay energy transition costs (as defined by the ETA). These costs may include plant decommissioning and coal mine reclamation costs provided those costs have not previously been recovered from customers or disallowed by the NMPRC or by a court order. Proceeds from energy transition bonds may also be used to fund severances for employees of the retired facility and related coal mine and to promote economic development, education and job training in areas impacted by the retirement of the coal-fired facilities. Energy transition bonds must be issued under a NMPRC-approved financing order, are secured by “energy transition property,” are non-recourse to the issuing utility, and repaid by a non-bypassable charge paid by all customers of the issuing utility. These customer charges are subject to an adjustment mechanism designed to provide for timely and complete payment of principal and interest due under the energy transition bonds.

The ETA also provides that utilities must obtain NMPRC approval of competitively procured replacement resources that shall be evaluated based on their cost, economic development opportunity, ability to provide jobs with comparable pay and benefits to those lost upon retirement of the facility, and that do not exceed emissions thresholds specified in the ETA. In determining whether to approve replacement resources, the NMPRC must give preference to resources with the least environmental impacts, those with higher ratios of capital costs to fuel costs, and those located in the school district of the abandoned facility. The ETA also provides for the procurement of energy storage facilities and gives utilities discretion to maintain, control, and operate these systems to ensure reliable and efficient service.

The ETA will have a significant impact on PNM’s future generation portfolio, including PNM’s planned retirement of SJGS in 2022 and the planned Four Corners exit in 2024. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA or the outcome of its pending and potential future generating resource abandonment and replacement resource filings with the NMPRC. See additional discussion in Note 12 of PNM’s SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment Applications.

The Clean Air Act

Regional Haze

In 1999, EPA developed a regional haze program and regional haze rules under the CAA. The rule directs each of the 50 states to address regional haze. Pursuant to the CAA, states are required to establish goals for improving visibility in national parks and wilderness areas (also known as Class I areas) and to develop long-term strategies for reducing emissions of air pollutants that cause visibility impairment in their own states and for preventing degradation in other states. States must establish a series of interim goals to ensure continued progress by adopting a new SIP every ten years. In the first SIP planning period, states were required to conduct BART determinations for certain covered facilities, including utility boilers, built between 1962 and 1977 that have the potential to emit more than 250 tons per year of visibility impairing pollution. If it was

(Unaudited)

demonstrated that the emissions from these sources caused or contributed to visibility impairment in any Class I area, BART must have been installed by the beginning of 2018. For all future SIP planning periods, states must evaluate whether additional emissions reduction measures may be needed to continue making reasonable progress toward natural visibility conditions.

In 2017, EPA published revisions to the regional haze rule in the Federal Register. The new rule delayed the due date for the next cycle of SIPs from 2019 to 2021, altered the planning process that states must employ in determining whether to impose “reasonable progress” emission reduction measures, and gave new authority to federal land managers to seek additional emission reduction measures outside of the states’ planning process. Finally, the rule made several procedural changes to the regional haze program, including changes to the schedule and process for states to file 5-year progress reports. EPA’s new rule was challenged by numerous parties. On January 19, 2018, EPA filed a motion to hold the case in abeyance in light of several letters issued by EPA on January 17, 2018 to grant various petitions for reconsideration of the 2017 rule revisions. EPA’s decision to revisit the 2017 rule is not a determination on the merits of the issues raised in the petitions.

On December 20, 2018, EPA released a new guidance document on tracking visibility progress for the second planning period. EPA is allowing states discretion to develop SIPs that may differ from EPA’s guidance as long as they are consistent with the CAA and other applicable regulations. On August 20, 2019, EPA finalized the draft guidance that was previously released as a companion to the regional haze rule revisions, and EPA clarified that guidance in a memorandum issued on July 8, 2021. SIPs for the second planning period were due in July 2021, which deadline NMED was unable to meet. NMED is currently preparing its SIP for the second compliance period and has notified PNM that it will not be required to submit a regional haze four-factor analysis for SJGS since PNM will retire its share of SJGS in 2022. On April 7, 2022, EPA announced its intent to make findings by August 31, 2022 of the states that have failed to submit regional haze implementation plans for the second planning period and directed states to file their plans by August 15, 2022 to avoid inclusion in that finding. Despite that announcement, on April 13, 2022, four environmental groups sued EPA in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking to compel EPA to issue a finding that 34 states failed to submit regional haze SIPs for the second planning period. NMED’s current timeline indicates the proposed SIP will be submitted between July 2022 and January 2023.

Carbon Dioxide Emissions

On August 3, 2015, EPA established standards to limit CO2 emissions from power plants, including (1) Carbon Pollution Standards for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants; and (2) the Clean Power Plan for existing power plants.

Multiple states, utilities and trade groups filed petitions for review in the DC Circuit to challenge both the Carbon Pollution Standards for new sources and the Clean Power Plan for existing sources in separate cases. Challengers successfully petitioned the US Supreme Court for a stay of the Clean Power Plan. However, before the DC Circuit could issue an opinion regarding either the Carbon Pollution Standards or the Clean Power Plan, the Trump Administration asked that the case be held in abeyance while the rules were re-evaluated, which was granted.

On June 19, 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines. EPA set the Best System of Emissions Reduction ("BSER") for existing coal-fired power plants as heat rate efficiency improvements based on a range of "candidate technologies" that can be applied inside the fence-line of an individual facility. On September 17, 2019, the DC Circuit issued an order that granted motions by various petitioners, including industry groups and EPA, to dismiss the cases challenging the Clean Power Plan as moot due to EPA’s issuance of the ACE Rule.

The ACE Rule was also challenged, and on January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion in American Lung Association and American Public Health Association v. EPA, et al., finding that EPA misinterpreted the CAA when it determined that the language of Section 111 unambiguously barred consideration of emissions reduction options that were not applied at the source. As a result, the court vacated the ACE Rule and remanded the record back to the EPA for further consideration consistent with the court's opinion. While the DC Circuit rejected the ACE Rule, it did not reinstate the Clean Power Plan. EPA filed a motion seeking a partial stay of the mandate as to the repeal of the Clean Power Plan, to ensure the court’s order will not render effective the now out-of-date Clean Power Plan. On February 22, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit granted EPA’s motion, indicating that it would withhold issuance of the mandate with respect to the repeal of the Clean Power Plan until EPA responds to the court’s remand in a new rulemaking action. EPA has commenced the rulemaking process under section 111 to establish new emission guidelines for CO2 emissions from existing power plants. The agency indicates that it plans to publish the draft rule in the summer of 2022 with a final rule in summer of 2023.

Four petitions for writ of certiorari were filed in the US Supreme Court seeking review of the DC Circuit’s January opinion vacating the ACE Rule and the repeal of the Clean Power Plan. The petitioners include (1) West Virginia and 18 other

states that had intervened to defend the ACE Rule, (2) North American Coal Corporation, (3) North Dakota (separately from the other states), and (4) Westmoreland Mining Holdings LLC. On October 29, 2021, the US Supreme Court granted the four petitions for writs of certiorari. Oral arguments in the US Supreme Court were held on February 28, 2022. A decision is expected by the end of June 2022.

The litigation over the Carbon Pollution Standards remains held in abeyance but could be reactivated by the parties upon a determination by the court that the Biden Administration is unlikely to finalize the revisions proposed in 2018 and that reconsideration of the rule has concluded.

On January 27, 2021, President Biden signed an extensive Executive Order aimed at addressing climate change concerns domestically and internationally. The order is intended to build on the initial climate-related actions the Biden Administration took on January 20, 2021. It addresses a wide range of issues, including establishing climate change concerns as an essential element of U.S. foreign and security policy, identifying a process to determine the U.S. INDC under the Paris Agreement, and establishing a Special Presidential Envoy for Climate that will sit on the National Security Council. On April 22, 2021, at the Earth Day Summit, as part of the U.S.’s re-entry into the Paris Agreement, President Biden unveiled the goal to cut U.S. emissions by 50% - 52% from 2005 levels by 2030, nearly double the GHG emissions reduction target set by the Obama Administration. The 2030 goal joins President Biden’s other climate goals which include a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050.

PNM’s review of the GHG emission reductions standards that may occur as a result of legislation or regulation under the Biden Administration and in response to the court's ruling on the ACE Rule is ongoing. PNM cannot predict the impact these standards may have on its operations or a range of the potential costs of compliance, if any.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”)

The CAA requires EPA to set NAAQS for pollutants reasonably anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. EPA has set NAAQS for certain pollutants, including NOx, SO2, ozone, and particulate matter.

NOx Standard – On April 18, 2018, EPA published the final rule to retain the current primary health-based NOx standards of which NO2 is the constituent of greatest concern and is the indicator for the primary NAAQS. EPA concluded that the current 1-hour and annual primary NO2 standards are requisite to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety. The rule became effective on May 18, 2018. PNM maintains compliance with the current NOx NAAQS standards.

SO2 Standard – On February 25, 2019, EPA announced its final decision to retain, without changes, the primary health-based NAAQS for SO2. Specifically, EPA will retain the current 1-hour standard for SO2, which is 75 parts per billion, based on the 3-year average of the 99th percentile of daily maximum 1-hour SO2 concentrations. PNM maintains compliance with the current SO2 NAAQS standards.

On March 26, 2021, EPA published in the Federal Register the initial air quality designations for all remaining areas not yet designated under the 2010 SO2 Primary NAAQS. This is EPA’s fourth and final set of actions to designate areas of the U.S. for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. All areas of New Mexico have been designated attainment/unclassifiable through four rounds of designations by EPA.

Ozone Standard – On October 1, 2015, EPA finalized the new ozone NAAQS and lowered both the primary and secondary 8-hour standard from 75 to 70 parts per billion. With ozone standards becoming more stringent, fossil-fueled generation units will come under increasing pressure to reduce emissions of NOx and volatile organic compounds since these are the pollutants that form ground-level ozone. On July 13, 2020, EPA proposed to retain the existing ozone NAAQS based on a review of the full body of currently available scientific evidence and exposure/risk information. EPA finalized its decision to retain the ozone NAAQS in a notice published on December 31, 2020 making it immediately effective. The Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit on February 25, 2021, challenging the decision to retain the existing ozone standard. In response to lawsuits brought by states and environmental groups, on October 29, 2021, EPA filed a motion in the DC Circuit indicating it will reconsider the 2020 ozone NAAQS standard. EPA expects to complete this review by the end of 2023.

On November 10, 2015, EPA proposed a rule revising its Exceptional Events Rule, which outlines the requirements for excluding air quality data (including ozone data) from regulatory decisions if the data is affected by events outside an area’s control. The proposed rule is important in light of the more stringent ozone NAAQS final rule since western states like New Mexico and Arizona are subject to elevated background ozone transport from natural local sources, such as wildfires and

stratospheric inversions, and transported via winds from distant sources in other regions or countries. EPA finalized the rule on October 3, 2016 and released related guidance in 2018 and 2019 to help implement its new exceptional events policy.

During 2017 and 2018, EPA released rules establishing area designations for ozone. In those rules, San Juan County, New Mexico, where SJGS and Four Corners are located, is designated as attainment/unclassifiable and only a small area in Doña Ana County, New Mexico is designated as marginal non-attainment. Although Afton is located in Doña Ana County, it is not located within the small area designated as non-attainment for the 2015 ozone standard. The rule became effective May 8, 2018.

On November 22, 2019, EPA issued findings that several states, including New Mexico, had failed to submit interstate transport SIPs for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. In response, in December 2019, NMED published the Public Review Draft of the New Mexico 2013 NAAQS Good Neighbor SIP that demonstrates that there are no significant contributions from New Mexico to downwind problems in meeting the federal ozone standard.

NMED has responsibility for bringing the small area in Doña Ana County designated as marginal/non-attainment for ozone into compliance and will look at all sources of NOx and volatile organic compounds. NMED has submitted the required elements for the Sunland Park Ozone Non-attainment Area SIP. This includes a transportation conformity demonstration, a 2017 baseline emissions inventory and emissions statement, and an amendment to the state's Non-attainment Permitting rules at 20.2.79 New Mexico Administrative Code to conform to EPA's SIP Requirements Rule for 2015 Q3 NAAQS (i.e., "implementation rule").

The SIP elements had staggered deadlines and were done in three submissions: (1) the transportation conformity demonstration was completed by the El Paso Metropolitan Planning Organization on behalf of New Mexico in 2019, which is responsible for transportation planning in that area, and the submission received concurrence from EPA and the Federal Highway Administration; (2) the emissions inventory and statement SIP was submitted to EPA in September 2020; and (3) the Non-attainment New Source Review SIP was submitted to EPA on August 10, 2021.

PNM does not believe there will be material impacts to its facilities because of NMED’s non-attainment designation of the small area within Doña Ana County. Until EPA approves attainment designations for the Navajo Nation and releases a proposal to implement the revised ozone NAAQS, PNM is unable to predict what impact the adoption of these standards may have on Four Corners. With respect to EPA's reconsideration of the 2020 decision to retain the 2015 ozone standards, PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

PM Standard – On January 30, 2020, EPA published in the Federal Register a notice announcing the availability of a final Policy Assessment for the Review of the NAAQS for Particulate Matter (the "Final PA"). The final assessment was prepared as part of the review of the primary and secondary PM NAAQS. In the assessment, EPA recommended lowering the primary annual PM 2.5 standard to between 8 µg/m3 and 10 µg/m3. However, on April 30, 2020, EPA published a proposed rule to retain the current standards for PM due to uncertainties in the data relied upon in the Final PA. EPA accepted comments on the proposed rule through June 29, 2020. On December 7, 2020, EPA announced it will retain, without revision, the existing primary (health-based) and secondary (welfare-based) NAAQS for PM, and EPA published a notice of that final action on December 18, 2020, making it immediately effective. On January 14, 2021, several states and New York City filed a petition for review in the DC Circuit, challenging EPA’s final rule retaining the current primary and secondary PM NAAQS. On February 9, 2021, a similar lawsuit was filed by the Center for Biological Diversity in the DC Circuit. On June 10, 2021, EPA announced that it will reconsider the previous administration’s December 2020 decision to retain the current primary and secondary PM NAAQS and on October 8, 2021, EPA announced the release of a new draft policy assessment (the "Draft PA"). Like the Final PA, the Draft PA states that available scientific evidence and technical information indicate that the current standards may not be adequate to protect public health and welfare, as required by the Clean Air Act. EPA anticipates issuing a proposed rule in summer 2022 and a final rule in spring 2023. PNM maintains compliance with the current PM NAAQS standards and cannot predict the impacts of the outcome of future rulemaking.

Cooling Water Intake Structures

In 2014, EPA issued a rule establishing national standards for certain cooling water intake structures at existing power plants and other facilities under the Clean Water Act to protect fish and other aquatic organisms by minimizing impingement mortality (the capture of aquatic wildlife on intake structures or against screens) and entrainment mortality (the capture of fish or shellfish in water flow entering and passing through intake structures).

(Unaudited)

To minimize impingement mortality, the rule provides operators of facilities, such as SJGS and Four Corners, seven options for meeting Best Technology Available (“BTA”) standards for reducing impingement. SJGS has a closed-cycle recirculating cooling system, which is a listed BTA and may also qualify for the “de minimis rate of impingement” based on the design of the intake structure. The permitting authority must establish the BTA for entrainment on a site-specific basis, taking into consideration an array of factors, including endangered species and social costs and benefits. Affected sources must submit source water baseline characterization data to the permitting authority to assist in the determination. Compliance deadlines under the rule are tied to permit renewal and will be subject to a schedule of compliance established by the permitting authority.

The rule is not clear as to how it applies and what the compliance timelines are for facilities like SJGS that have a cooling water intake structure and only a multi-sector general stormwater permit. However, EPA has indicated that it is contemplating a December 31, 2023 compliance deadline. PNM is working with EPA regarding this issue and does not expect material changes as a result of any requirements that may be imposed upon SJGS, particularly given the planned retirement of SJGS in 2022.

On May 23, 2018, several environmental groups sued EPA Region IX in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court over EPA’s failure to timely reissue the Four Corners NPDES permit. The petitioners asked the court to issue a writ of mandamus compelling EPA Region IX to take final action on the pending NPDES permit by a reasonable date. EPA subsequently reissued the NPDES permit on June 12, 2018. The permit did not contain conditions related to the cooling water intake structure rule, as EPA determined that the facility has achieved BTA for both impingement and entrainment by operating a closed-cycle recirculation system. On July 16, 2018, several environmental groups filed a petition for review with EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board ("EAB") concerning the reissued permit. The environmental groups alleged that the permit was reissued in contravention of several requirements under the Clean Water Act and did not contain required provisions concerning certain revised ELG, existing-source regulations governing cooling-water intake structures, and effluent limits for surface seepage and subsurface discharges from coal-ash disposal facilities. On December 19, 2018, EPA withdrew the Four Corners NPDES permit in order to examine issues raised by the environmental groups. Withdrawal of the permit moots the appeal pending before the EAB. EAB thereafter dismissed the environmental groups’ appeal. EPA issued an updated NPDES permit on September 30, 2019. The permit was once again appealed to the EAB and was stayed before the effective date. Oral argument was heard on September 3, 2020. The EAB issued an order denying the petition for review on September 30, 2020. The denial was based on the EAB's determination that the petitioners had failed to demonstrate that review of the permit was warranted on any of the grounds presented in the petition. Thereafter, the Regional Administrator of the EPA signed a Notice of Final Permit Decision, and the NPDES permit was issued on November 9, 2020. The permit became effective December 1, 2020 and will expire on November 30, 2025. On January 22, 2021, the environmental groups filed a petition for review of the EAB's decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The September 2019 permit remains in effect pending this appeal. On March 21, 2022, EPA provided notice in the Federal Register of a proposed settlement agreement with the environmental groups. Under the proposed settlement, the parties would seek to stay the associated case for at least 15 months during which a third-party consultant would spend 12 months sampling discharges from Four Corners and EPA would spend three months completing an analysis. Comments on the proposed settlement were due by April 20, 2022. PNM cannot predict whether the parties will ultimately sign the settlement agreement or whether the analysis to be conducted under the settlement agreement will result in changes to the NPDES permit that will have a material impact on PNM’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Effluent Limitation Guidelines

On June 7, 2013, EPA published proposed revised wastewater ELG establishing technology-based wastewater discharge limitations for fossil fuel-fired electric power plants.  EPA signed the final Steam Electric ELG rule on September 30, 2015. The final rule, which became effective on January 4, 2016, phased in the new, more stringent requirements in the form of effluent limits for arsenic, mercury, selenium, and nitrogen for wastewater discharged from wet scrubber systems and zero discharge of pollutants in ash transport water that must be incorporated into plants’ NPDES permits. The 2015 rule required each plant to comply between 2018 and 2023 depending on when it needs a new or revised NPDES permit.

The Steam Electric ELG rule was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit by numerous parties. On April 12, 2017, EPA signed a notice indicating its intent to reconsider portions of the rule, and on August 22, 2017, the Fifth Circuit issued an order severing the issues under reconsideration and holding the case in abeyance as to those issues. However, the court allowed challenges to other portions of the rule to proceed. On April 12, 2019, the Fifth Circuit granted those challenges and issued an opinion vacating several portions of the rule, specifically those related to legacy wastewater and leachate, for which the court deemed the standards selected by EPA arbitrary and capricious.

On September 18, 2017, EPA published a final rule for postponement of certain compliance dates. The rule postponed the earliest date on which compliance with the ELG for these waste streams would be required from November 1, 2018 until November 1, 2020. On November 22, 2019, EPA published a proposed rule revising the original ELG while maintaining the compliance dates. Comments were due January 21, 2020. On October 13, 2020, EPA published in the Federal Register the final Steam Electric ELG and standards for the Steam Electric Power Generating Point Source Category, revising the final 2015 guidelines for both flue gas desulfurization wastewater and bottom ash transport water. The rule will require compliance with new limits as soon as possible on or after October 13, 2021, but no later than December 31, 2025.

On August 3, 2021, EPA published notice that it will undertake a supplemental rulemaking to revise the ELG after completing its review of the 2020 Reconsideration Rule. As part of this process, EPA will determine whether more stringent limitations and standards are appropriate. EPA intends to publish a proposed rule in the fall of 2022.

Because SJGS is zero discharge for wastewater and is not required to hold a NPDES permit, it is expected that minimal to no requirements will be imposed. Reeves Station discharges cooling tower blowdown to a publicly owned treatment plant and holds an NPDES permit. It is expected that minimal to no requirements will be imposed at Reeves Station.

See "Cooling Water Intake Structures" above for additional discussion of Four Corners' current NPDES permit. Four Corners may be required to change equipment and operating practices affecting boilers and ash handling systems, as well as change its waste disposal techniques during the next NPDES permit renewal in 2023. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters or a range of the potential costs of compliance.

Santa Fe Generating Station

PNM and NMED are parties to agreements under which PNM has installed a remediation system to treat water from a City of Santa Fe municipal supply well and an extraction well to address gasoline contamination in the groundwater at the site of PNM’s former Santa Fe Generating Station and service center. A 2008 NMED site inspection report states that neither the source nor extent of contamination at the site has been determined and that the source may not be the former Santa Fe Generating Station. During 2013 and 2014, PNM and NMED collected additional samples that showed elevated concentrations of nitrate and volatile organic compounds in some of the monitoring wells at the site. In addition, one monitoring well contained free-phase hydrocarbon products. PNM collected a sample of the product for “fingerprint” analysis. The results of this analysis indicated the product was a mixture of older and newer fuels. The presence of newer fuels in the sample suggests the hydrocarbon product likely originated from off-site sources. In December 2015, PNM and NMED entered into a memorandum of understanding to address changing groundwater conditions at the site under which PNM agreed to continue hydrocarbon investigation under the supervision of NMED. Qualified costs are eligible for payment through the New Mexico Corrective Action Fund (“CAF”), which is administered by the NMED Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau. In March 2019, PNM received notice from NMED that an abatement plan for the site is required to address concentrations of previously identified compounds, unrelated to those discussed above, found in the groundwater. NMED approved PNM’s abatement plan proposal, which covers field work and reporting.

Field work related to the investigation under both the CAF and abatement plan requirements was completed in October 2019. Activities and findings associated with the field work were presented in two separate reports and released to stakeholders in early 2020. Subsequent field work was completed in July 2020 and two reports were released supporting PNM’s contention that off-site sources have impacted, and are continuing to impact, the local groundwater in the vicinity of the former Santa Fe Generating Station.

PNM submitted work plans to NMED in January 2021 for review and approval. In December 2021, NMED approved both workplans and work is underway. These activities are expected to be completed by the end of 2022.

The City of Santa Fe has stopped operating its well at the site, which is needed for PNM’s groundwater remediation system to operate. As a result, PNM has stopped performing remediation activities at the site. However, PNM’s monitoring and other abatement activities at the site are ongoing and will continue until the groundwater meets applicable federal and state standards or until the NMED determines remediation is not required, whichever is earlier. PNM is not able to assess the duration of this project or estimate the impact on its obligations if PNM is required to resume groundwater remediation activities at the site. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Coal Combustion Residuals Waste Disposal

CCRs consisting of fly ash, bottom ash, and gypsum generated from coal combustion and emission control equipment at SJGS are currently disposed of in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant. SJGS does not operate any CCR impoundments or landfills. The NMMMD currently regulates mine reclamation activities at the San Juan mine, including placement of CCRs in the surface mine pits, with federal oversight by the OSM. APS disposes of CCRs in ponds and dry storage areas at Four Corners.  Ash management at Four Corners is regulated by EPA and the New Mexico State Engineer’s Office.

EPA’s final coal ash rule, which became effective on October 19, 2015, included a non-hazardous waste determination for coal ash and sets minimum criteria for existing and new CCR landfills and surface impoundments. On December 16, 2016, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (the “WIIN Act”) was signed into law to address critical water infrastructure needs in the U.S. and contains a number of provisions related to the CCR rules. Among other things, the WIIN Act allows, but does not require, states to develop and submit CCR permit programs for EPA approval, provides flexibility for states to incorporate EPA’s final rule for CCRs or develop other criteria that are at least as protective as EPA’s final rule, and requires EPA to approve state permit programs within 180 days of submission by the state. Because states are not required to implement their own CCR permit programs, EPA will implement the permit program in states that choose not to implement a program, subject to Congressional funding. Until permit programs are in effect, EPA has authority to directly enforce the CCR rule. For facilities located within the boundaries of Native American reservations, such as the Navajo Nation where Four Corners is located, EPA is required to develop a federal permit program regardless of appropriated funds.

On July 30, 2018, EPA published a rule that constitutes “Phase One, Part One” of its ongoing reconsideration and revision of the April 17, 2015 CCR rule. The final Phase One, Part One rule includes two types of revisions. The first revision extended the deadline to allow EGUs with unlined impoundments or that fail to meet the uppermost aquifer requirement to continue to receive coal ash until October 31, 2020. This deadline was again extended by subsequent amendments. The rule also authorized a “Participating State Director” or EPA to approve suspension of groundwater monitoring requirements and to issue certifications related to the location restrictions, design criteria, groundwater monitoring, remedy selection and implementation. The rule also modified groundwater protection standards for certain constituents, which include cobalt, molybdenum, lithium, and lead without a maximum contamination level.

On August 14, 2019, EPA published a second round of revisions, which are commonly referred to as the “Phase Two” revisions. Phase Two proposed revisions to reporting and accessibility to public information, the "CCR piles" and "beneficial use" definitions and the requirements for management of CCR piles. EPA has reopened and extended the Phase Two comment period several times. Most recently, on March 12, 2021, EPA reopened the comment period on its prior notice that announced the availability of new information and data pertaining to the Phase Two proposed rule. EPA extended the comment period for an additional 60 days, until May 11, 2021. EPA has not yet finalized provisions in Phase Two related to beneficial use of CCR and CCR piles. This activity is on EPA's long-term agenda, which means EPA has no plans to address these issues in the next 12 months.

Since promulgating its Phase Two proposal, EPA has finalized two other rules addressing various CCR rule provisions. On December 2, 2019, EPA promulgated its proposed Holistic Approach to Closure Part A ("Part A"), which proposed a new deadline of August 31, 2020, for companies to initiate closure of unlined CCR impoundments. In accordance with the DC Circuit Court of Appeals’ vacatur of portions of the CCR Rule, Part A also proposed changing the classification of compacted soil-lined or clay-lined surface impoundments from “lined” to “unlined”. In addition, Part A delineated a process for owners/operators to submit requests for alternative closure deadlines based on lack of alternate disposal capacity. EPA issued the final Part A on August 28, 2020, which became effective on September 28, 2020. This rule finalized the classification of soil-lined and clay-lined surface impoundments as unlined, thus, triggering closure or retrofit requirements for those impoundments. The final Part A also gave operators of unlined impoundments until April 11, 2021 to cease receipt of waste at these units and initiate closure.

On March 3, 2020, EPA issued the proposed Holistic Approach to Closure Part B ("Part B"), which delineated the process for owners/operators to submit alternate liner demonstrations for clay-lined surface impoundments that could otherwise meet applicable requirements. Part B also proposed regulations addressing beneficial use for closure of surface impoundments. On November 12, 2020, EPA issued the final Part B rule, which became effective December 14, 2020. This rule did not include beneficial use of CCR for closure, which EPA explains will be addressed in subsequent rulemaking actions. EPA intends to issue several other rulemakings covering legacy ponds and finalizing parts of previously proposed rules. These proposed rules and final rules are expected in 2022.

On February 20, 2020, EPA published a proposed rule establishing a federal permitting program for the handling of CCR within the boundaries of Native American reservations and in states without their own federally authorized state programs. Permits for units within the boundaries of Native American reservations would be due 18 months after the effective date of the rule. The final rule is expected in October 2022. EPA is coordinating with the affected permits for the three facilities with CCR disposal units located on Native American lands. PNM cannot predict the outcome of EPA’s rule making activity or the outcome of any related litigation, and whether or how such a ruling would affect operations at Four Corners.

The CCR rule does not cover mine placement of coal ash. OSM is expected to publish a proposed rule covering mine placement in the future and will likely be influenced by EPA’s rule and the determination by EPA that CCRs are non-hazardous. PNM cannot predict the outcome of OSM’s proposed rulemaking regarding CCR regulation, including mine placement of CCRs, or whether OSM’s actions will have a material impact on PNM’s operations, financial position, or cash flows. Based upon the requirements of the final Part A CCR rule, PNM conducted a CCR assessment at SJGS and made minor modifications at the plant to ensure that there are no facilities that would be considered impoundments or landfills under the rule. PNM would seek recovery from its retail customers of all CCR costs for jurisdictional assets that are ultimately incurred.

Utilities that own or operate CCR disposal units, such as those at Four Corners, as indicated above, were required to collect sufficient groundwater sampling data to initiate a detection monitoring program.  Four Corners completed the analysis for its CCR disposal units, which identified several units that will need corrective action or will need to cease operations and initiate closure by April 11, 2021. As part of this assessment, Four Corners will continue to gather additional groundwater data and perform remedial evaluations. At this time, PNM does not anticipate its share of the cost to complete these corrective actions to close the CCR disposal units, or to gather and perform remedial evaluations on groundwater at Four Corners, will have a significant impact on its operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Other Commitments and Contingencies
Coal Supply

SJGS

The coal requirements for SJGS are supplied by WSJ LLC. In addition to coal delivered to meet the current needs of SJGS, PNM has prepaid the current San Juan mine owner and operator, WSJ LLC, for certain coal mined but not yet delivered to the plant site. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, prepayments for coal, which are included in prepaid assets, amounted to $10.0 million and $20.4 million. Additional information concerning the coal supply for SJGS is contained in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

In conjunction with the activities undertaken to comply with the CAA for SJGS, PNM and the other owners of SJGS evaluated alternatives for the supply of coal to SJGS. On July 1, 2015, PNM and Westmoreland entered into a new coal supply agreement (the “SJGS CSA”), pursuant to which Westmoreland, through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary SJCC, agreed to supply all of the coal requirements of SJGS through June 30, 2022. PNM and Westmoreland also entered into agreements under which CCR disposal and mine reclamation services for SJGS would be provided. As discussed in Note 6, WSJ LLC assumed the rights and obligations of SJCC under the SJGS CSA and the agreements for CCR disposal and mine reclamation services.

Pricing under the SJGS CSA is primarily fixed, with adjustments to reflect changes in general inflation and takes into account that WSJ LLC has been paid for coal mined but not delivered. Substantially all of PNM's coal costs are passed through the FPPAC. In November 2018, PNM provided notice to Westmoreland that PNM does not intend to extend the term of the SJGS CSA or to negotiate a new coal supply agreement for SJGS, which would have resulted in the current agreement expiring on its own terms on June 30, 2022. On February 17, 2022, PNM and WSJ LLC entered into an amendment to extend the SJGS CSA through September 30, 2022, subject to FERC’s acceptance of amendments to the San Juan Project Participation Agreement. The CSA amendment provides for a fixed price increase of $5.00 per ton, beginning April 1, 2022, which would pass through the FPPAC. FERC accepted the amendments to the participation agreement on March 24, 2022. See additional discussion of PNM’s SJGS Abandonment Application in Note 12.

WSJ LLC notified PNM in July 2021 that it had encountered unfavorable geologic conditions that were impeding longwall progress in the San Juan Mine. On August 17, 2021, WSJ LLC issued a formal notice of non-normal conditions due to WSJ LLC’s inability to maintain a reserve of coal at required levels. WSJ LLC also notified PNM that these geologic complications constituted a force majeure event that was preventing WSJ LLC from satisfying its obligation to maintain required coal inventory levels. Geologic conditions had reportedly improved, and on December 9, 2021, WSJ LLC gave formal notice that they were terminating the potential force majeure conditions. Subsequently, on April 14, 2022, WSJ LLC again

notified PNM that they had encountered similar geologic conditions and once again issued formal notice of a force majeure event. PNM does not know whether reduced levels of coal inventory may continue until normal conditions recur in the longwall panel or whether the period of non-normal conditions will impact full load operations through the remainder of the CSA and PNM's projected system reserve margin for the 2022 summer peak. See additional discussion of PNM’s SJGS Abandonment Application in Note 12.

The SJGS Restructuring Agreement sets forth terms under which PNM acquired the coal inventory, including coal mined but not delivered, of the exiting SJGS participants as of January 1, 2016, and supplied coal to the SJGS exiting participants for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017, and is supplying coal to the SJGS remaining participants over the term of the SJGS CSA. Coal costs under the SJGS CSA are significantly less than under the previous arrangement with SJCC. Since substantially all of PNM’s coal costs are passed through the FPPAC, the benefit of the reduced costs is passed through to PNM’s customers.

In connection with certain mining permits relating to the operation of the San Juan mine, the San Juan mine owner was required to post reclamation bonds of $118.7 million with the NMMMD. In order to facilitate the posting of reclamation bonds by sureties on behalf of the San Juan mine owner, PNMR entered into the WFB LOC Facility under which letters of credit aggregating $30.3 million have been issued. As discussed in Note 6, on March 15, 2019, the assets owned by SJCC were sold to WSJ LLC, a subsidiary of Westmoreland Mining Holdings, LLC. Under the sale agreement, WSJ LLC assumed the rights and obligations of SJCC including obligations to PNMR under the outstanding letters of credit.

Four Corners

APS purchases all of Four Corners’ coal requirements from NTEC, an entity owned by the Navajo Nation, under the Four Corners CSA that expires in 2031. The coal comes from reserves located within the Navajo Nation. The contract provides for pricing adjustments over its term based on economic indices. PNM's share of the coal costs is being recovered through the FPPAC. In connection with the exit of Four Corners, PNM would make payments totaling $75.0 million to NTEC for relief from its obligations under the coal supply agreements for Four Corners after December 31, 2024. PNM is not proposing to recover the $75.0 million from ratepayers and, if approved, would not be recovered through the FPPAC. See Note 12 for additional information on PNM's Four Corners Abandonment Application. See additional discussion of the Four Corners CSA in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

NTEC contracted with Bisti Fuels Company, LLC, a subsidiary of The North American Coal Corporation, for management and operation of the mine. Under the CSA, NTEC has the right, after a specified period, to request approval from the Four Corners owners to replace Bisti Fuels Company as mine manager with NTEC’s internal resources and perform all or some mine management functions. APS granted approval on behalf of the owners on June 16, 2021, subject to certain credit assurance requirements. On June 17, 2021, NTEC notified The North American Coal Corporation that the contract mining agreement between Bisti Fuels Company and NTEC is terminated effective September 30, 2021. NTEC assumed direct operations at Navajo Mine on October 1, 2021.

Coal Mine Reclamation

As indicated under Coal Combustion Residuals Waste Disposal above, SJGS currently disposes of CCRs in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant and Four Corners disposes of CCRs in ponds and dry storage areas. As discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, in conjunction with the proposed shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 and to comply with the BART requirements of the CAA, periodic updates to the coal mine reclamation study were requested by the SJGS participants. These updates have included adjustments to reflect the December 2017 shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3, the terms of the reclamation services agreement with WSJ LLC, and changes to reflect the requirements of the 2015 San Juan mine permit plan.

In late 2020, a mine reclamation cost study was completed for the mine that serves SJGS and in December 2020, PNM remeasured its liability, which resulted in an increase in the overall reclamation costs of $3.6 million, due primarily to higher inflationary factors. As a result, PNM recorded a less than $0.1 million decrease in the liability at December 31, 2020 related to the underground mine and a decrease to the regulatory assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded a $3.6 million increase in the liability associated with the surface mine as regulatory disallowances and restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. PNM’s estimate of the costs necessary to reclaim the mine that serves SJGS is subject to many assumptions, including the timing of reclamation, generally accepted practices at the time reclamation activities occur, and then current inflation and discount rates. PNM cannot predict the ultimate cost to reclaim the mine that

serves SJGS and would seek to recover all costs related to reclaiming the underground mine from its customers but could be exposed to additional loss related to surface mine reclamation.

A coal mine reclamation study for the mine that serves Four Corners was issued in 2019. The study reflected operation of the mine through 2031, the term of the Four Corners CSA. The study resulted in a net increase in PNM’s share of the coal mine reclamation obligation of $0.8 million, which was primarily driven by lower overhead costs offset by an increase driven by a reduction in the discount rate used by PNM to measure the liability during the year ended December 31, 2019. As discussed in Note 12, PNM remains responsible for its share of costs associated with mine reclamation under the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement with NTEC. NTEC and PNM will complete a reclamation study in 2024 providing the final mine reclamation cost estimate on the date of ownership transfer. PNM will make its final reclamation payment to NTEC based on the reclamation study in 2024 and will have no further obligations regarding the mine reclamation after 2024. PNM determined that events and circumstances regarding Four Corners, including the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement with NTEC and the Four Corners Abandonment Application and subsequent appeal of the NMPRC decision, indicated that it is more likely than not that PNM’s share of Four Corners coal mine reclamation obligation would be settled in 2024, rather than 2031. As of December 31, 2020, PNM remeasured its Four Corners coal mine reclamation liability and recorded a decrease to the liability of $2.5 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and a decrease to regulatory disallowances and restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Based on the most recent estimates, PNM’s remaining payments as of March 31, 2022, for mine reclamation, in future dollars, are estimated to be $72.9 million for the surface mines at both SJGS and Four Corners and $34.9 million for the underground mine at SJGS. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, liabilities, in current dollars, of $66.6 million and $67.4 million for surface mine reclamation and $28.3 million and $27.9 million for underground mine reclamation were recorded in other deferred credits.

Under the terms of the SJGS CSA, PNM and the other SJGS owners are obligated to compensate WSJ LLC for all reclamation costs associated with the supply of coal from the San Juan mine. The SJGS owners entered into a reclamation trust funds agreement to provide funding to compensate WSJ LLC for post-term reclamation obligations. As discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as part of the restructuring of SJGS ownership, the SJGS owners negotiated the terms of an amended agreement to fund post-term reclamation obligations under the CSA. The trust funds agreement requires each owner to enter into an individual trust agreement with a financial institution as trustee, create an irrevocable reclamation trust, and periodically deposit funds into the reclamation trust for the owner’s share of the mine reclamation obligation. Deposits, which are based on funding curves, must be made on an annual basis. As part of the restructuring of SJGS ownership discussed above, the SJGS participants agreed to adjusted interim trust funding levels. PNM funded $5.2 million in 2021 and, based on PNM’s reclamation trust fund balance at March 31, 2022, the current funding curves indicate PNM’s required contributions to its reclamation trust fund would be $7.0 million in 2022 and zero in each of 2023 and 2024.

Under the Four Corners CSA, PNM is required to fund its share of estimated final reclamation costs in annual installments into an irrevocable escrow account solely dedicated to the final reclamation cost of the surface mine at Four Corners. PNM contributed $2.2 million in 2021, and anticipates providing additional funding of $2.1 million in each of the years from 2022 through 2024. As discussed above, under the terms of the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement with NTEC, PNM will make its final reclamation payment to NTEC based on the reclamation study in 2024 and will have no further obligations regarding the mine reclamation.

PNM recovers from retail customers reclamation costs associated with the underground mine. However, the NMPRC has capped the amount that can be collected from retail customers for final reclamation of the surface mines at $100.0 million for both SJGS and Four Corners. If future estimates increase the liability for surface mine reclamation, the excess would be expensed at that time. The impacts of changes in New Mexico state law as a result of the enactment of the ETA and regulatory determinations made by the NMPRC may also affect PNM’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See additional discussion regarding PNM’s SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment Applications in Note 12. PNM is currently unable to determine the outcome of these matters or the range of possible impacts.

San Juan County Decommissioning Ordinance

On November 9, 2021, the San Juan County Commission approved the Coal-Fired Electricity Generating Facility Demolition and Remediation Ordinance (“Ordinance 121”), requiring the full demolition of SJGS upon its complete and permanent closure. Ordinance 121 requires the SJGS owners to submit a proposed demolition and remediation plan no later than three months after SJGS is retired. In connection with restructuring of the SJGS ownership on December 31, 2017, PNM

and the other SJGS owners entered into the San Juan Decommissioning and Trust Funds Agreement, which requires PNM to fund its ownership share of final decommissioning costs into an irrevocable trust. Under the agreement, PNM is required to make an initial funding of $14.7 million by December 31, 2022. The amount and timing of additional trust funding is subject to revised decommissioning cost studies, a decision by the current owners to permanently retire SJGS and agreement among the SJGS owners. PNM has posted a surety bond in the amount of $46.0 million in connection with certain environmental decommissioning obligations and must maintain the bond or other financial assurance until those obligations are satisfied. The surety bond only represents a liability if PNM fails to deliver on its contractual liability. For information regarding the impact of Ordinance 121 on PNM’s SJGS decommissioning ARO see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters

Public liability for incidents at nuclear power plants is governed by the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act, which limits the liability of nuclear reactor owners to the amount of insurance available from both commercial sources and an industry-wide retrospective payment plan. In accordance with this act, the PVNGS participants are insured against public liability exposure for a nuclear incident up to $13.5 billion per occurrence. PVNGS maintains the maximum available nuclear liability insurance in the amount of $450 million, which is provided by American Nuclear Insurers. The remaining $13.1 billion is provided through a mandatory industry-wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, PNM could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments. Based on PNM’s 10.2% interest in each of the three PVNGS units, PNM’s maximum potential retrospective premium assessment per incident for all three units is $42.1 million, with a maximum annual payment limitation of $6.2 million, to be adjusted periodically for inflation.

The PVNGS participants maintain insurance for damage to, and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of $2.8 billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination. These coverages are provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (“NEIL”). The primary policy offered by NEIL contains a sublimit of $2.25 billion for non-nuclear property damage. If NEIL’s losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds, PNM is subject to retrospective premium adjustments of $5.4 million for each retrospective premium assessment declared by NEIL’s Board of Directors due to losses. The insurance coverages discussed in this and the previous paragraph are subject to certain policy conditions, sublimits, and exclusions.

Navajo Nation Allottee Matters

In September 2012, 43 landowners filed a notice of appeal with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) appealing a March 2011 decision of the BIA Regional Director regarding renewal of a right-of-way for a PNM transmission line. The landowners claim to be allottees, members of the Navajo Nation, who pursuant to the Dawes Act of 1887, were allotted ownership in land carved out of the Navajo Nation and allege that PNM is a rights-of-way grantee with rights-of-way across the allotted lands and are either in trespass or have paid insufficient fees for the grant of rights-of-way or both.  The allottees generally allege that they were not paid fair market value for the right-of-way, that they were denied the opportunity to make a showing as to their view of fair market value, and thus denied due process. The allottees filed a motion to dismiss their appeal with prejudice, which was granted in April 2014. Subsequent to the dismissal, PNM received a letter from counsel on behalf of what appears to be a subset of the 43 landowner allottees involved in the appeal, notifying PNM that the specified allottees were revoking their consents for renewal of right of way on six specific allotments.  On January 22, 2015, PNM received a letter from the BIA Regional Director identifying ten allotments with rights-of-way renewals that were previously contested. The letter indicated that the renewals were not approved by the BIA because the previous consent obtained by PNM was later revoked, prior to BIA approval, by the majority owners of the allotments. It is the BIA Regional Director’s position that PNM must re-obtain consent from these landowners. On July 13, 2015, PNM filed a condemnation action in the NM District Court regarding the approximately 15.49 acres of land at issue. On September 18, 2015, the allottees filed a separate complaint against PNM for federal trespass. On December 1, 2015, the court ruled that PNM could not condemn two of the five allotments at issue based on the Navajo Nation’s fractional interest in the land. PNM filed a motion for reconsideration of this ruling, which was denied. On March 31, 2016, the Tenth Circuit granted PNM’s petition to appeal the December 1, 2015 ruling. Both matters have been consolidated. Oral argument before the Tenth Circuit was heard on January 17, 2017. On May 26, 2017, the Tenth Circuit affirmed the district court. On July 8, 2017, PNM filed a Motion for Reconsideration en banc with the Tenth Circuit, which was denied. The NM District Court stayed the case based on the Navajo Nation’s acquisition of interests in two additional allotments and the unresolved ownership of the fifth allotment due to the owner’s death. On November 20, 2017, PNM filed its petition for writ of certiorari with the US Supreme Court, which was denied. The underlying litigation continues in the NM District Court. On March 27, 2019, several individual allottees filed a motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of trespass. The Court held a hearing on the motion on June 18, 2019 and took the

motion under advisement. PNM, the allottees and the United States have agreed to a framework for settlement. The parties are preparing the settlement agreement and the stipulated court order. PNM cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Texas Winter Storm

In mid-February 2021, Texas experienced a severe winter storm delivering the coldest temperatures in 100 years for many parts of the state. As a result, the ERCOT market was not able to deliver sufficient generation load to the grid resulting in significant, statewide outages as ERCOT directed transmission operators to curtail thousands of firm load megawatts. TNMP complied with ERCOT directives to curtail the delivery of electricity in its service territory and did not experience significant outages on its system outside of the ERCOT directed curtailments. Various regulatory and governmental entities are conducting, or have announced they may conduct, inquiries, investigations and other reviews of the Texas winter storm event. Entities that have announced that they plan to conduct or are conducting such inquiries, investigations and other reviews include FERC, NERC, Texas Reliability Entity Inc., ERCOT, the Texas Legislature, the Texas Attorney General, the PUCT, and the Galveston County District Attorney. Further, lawsuits have been filed against various market participants relating to the power outages resulting from the Texas winter storm, including TNMP. As a utility operating during the Texas winter storm event, there is a risk TNMP could be named in additional lawsuits in the future. TNMP intends to vigorously defend itself against any claims raised. TNMP deferred bad debt expense from defaulting REPs to a regulatory asset which totaled $0.8 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and will seek recovery in a general rate case. At this time, the Company does not expect significant financial impacts related to this event, however, it cannot predict the outcome of such matters or the impact on the ERCOT market.

(12)   Regulatory and Rate Matters

The Company is involved in various regulatory matters, some of which contain contingencies that are subject to the same uncertainties as those described in Note 11. Additional information concerning regulatory and rate matters is contained in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PNMR

Merger Regulatory Proceedings

On October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR, with PNMR surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. Among other conditions, consummation of the Merger is subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals. Five federal agencies and the PUCT have completed their reviews and approved the Merger, leaving the NMPRC as the only remaining approval necessary for the Merger. The original application before the NMPRC was filed in November 2020. For additional information on the Merger regulatory proceedings see Note 17.

PNM

Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard

As discussed in Note 11, the ETA, enacted on June 14, 2019, amends the REA including removal of diversity requirements and certain customer caps and exemptions relating to the application of the RPS under the REA. The REA provides for streamlined proceedings for approval of utilities’ renewable energy procurement plans, assures that utilities recover costs incurred consistent with approved procurement plans, and requires the NMPRC to establish a RCT for the procurement of renewable resources to prevent excessive costs being added to rates. The ETA sets a RCT of $60 per MWh using an average annual levelized resource cost basis. PNM makes renewable procurements consistent with the NMPRC approved plans and recovers certain renewable procurement costs from customers through the renewable energy rider billed on a KWh basis.

Included in PNM’s approved procurement plans are the following renewable energy resources:

158 MW of PNM-owned solar-PV facilities
A PPA through 2044 for the output of New Mexico Wind, having a current aggregate capacity of 200 MW, and a PPA through 2035 for the output of Red Mesa Wind, having an aggregate capacity of 102 MW
A PPA through 2040 for 140 MW of output from La Joya Wind II
A PPA through 2042 for the output of the Lightning Dock Geothermal facility with a current capacity of 11 MW

Solar distributed generation, aggregating 211.8 MW at March 31, 2022, owned by customers or third parties from whom PNM purchases any net excess output and RECs

The NMPRC has authorized PNM to recover certain renewable procurement costs through a rate rider billed on a per KWh basis. In its 2022 renewable energy procurement plan, which became effective on January 1, 2022, PNM proposed to collect $66.9 million for the year. PNM recorded revenues from the rider of $14.5 million and $15.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Under the renewable rider, if PNM’s earned rate of return on jurisdictional equity in a calendar year, adjusted for items not representative of normal operations, exceeds the NMPRC-approved rate by 0.5%, PNM is required to refund the excess to customers during May through December of the following year. PNM did not exceed such limitation in 2021. The NMPRC currently has an open inquiry docket into the continued use of renewable riders by New Mexico utilities. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of the NMPRC's inquiry.

Energy Efficiency and Load Management

Program Costs and Incentives/Disincentives

The New Mexico Efficient Use of Energy Act (“EUEA”) requires public utilities to achieve specified levels of energy savings and to obtain NMPRC approval to implement energy efficiency and load management programs. The EUEA requires the NMPRC to remove utility disincentives to implementing energy efficiency and load management programs and to provide incentives for such programs. The NMPRC has adopted a rule to implement this Act. PNM’s costs to implement approved programs and incentives are recovered through a rate rider. During the 2019 New Mexico legislative session, the EUEA was amended to, among other things, include a decoupling mechanism for disincentives, preclude a reduction to a utility’s ROE based on approval of disincentive or incentive mechanisms, establish energy savings targets for the period 2021 through 2025, and require that annual program funding be 3% to 5% of an electric utility's annual customer bills excluding gross receipt taxes, franchise and right-of-way access fees, provided that a customer's annual cost not exceed seventy-five thousand dollars.

On April 15, 2021, PNM filed its 2020 Energy Efficiency Annual Report which reconciles the actual 2020 profit incentive collections with the profit incentive authorized by the NMPRC resulting in an additional $0.8 million incentive collected during the remainder of 2021. The additional incentive was authorized for 2020 because annual energy savings for the year exceeded 87 GWh, and was the maximum level of profit incentive allowed under the approved mechanism. PNM began collecting the additional incentive effective May 27, 2021. On April 15, 2022, PNM filed an Advice Notice which reconciles the actual 2021 energy efficiency profit incentive collections with the profit incentive authorized by the NMPRC resulting in an additional $0.3 million incentive to be collected through the energy efficiency rider during the remainder of 2022. The additional incentive was authorized for 2021 because annual energy savings for the year exceeded 94 GWh. PNM will begin collecting the incentive effective May 31, 2022, unless suspended by the NMPRC.

On April 15, 2020, PNM filed an application for energy efficiency and load management programs to be offered in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The proposed program portfolio consists of twelve programs with a total annual budget of $31.4 million in 2021, $31.0 million in 2022, and $29.6 million in 2023. The application also sought approval of an annual base incentive of 7.1% of the portfolio budget if PNM were to achieve energy savings of at least 80 GWh in a year. The proposed incentive, as modified in rebuttal testimony, would increase if PNM is able to achieve savings greater than 94 GWh in a year. On September 17, 2020, the hearing examiner in the case issued a recommended decision recommending that PNM's proposed energy efficiency and load management program be approved. On October 28, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the recommended decision in its entirety.

2020 Decoupling Petition

As discussed above, the legislature amended the EUEA to, among other things, include a decoupling mechanism for disincentives. On May 28, 2020, PNM filed a petition for approval of a rate adjustment mechanism that would decouple the rates of its residential and small power rate classes. Decoupling is a rate design principle that severs the link between the recovery of fixed costs of the utility through volumetric charges. PNM proposed to record the difference between the annual revenue per customer derived from the cost of service approved in the NM 2015 Rate Case and the annual revenue per customer actually recovered from the rate classes beginning on January 1, 2021. If approved, PNM would collect the difference from customers if the revenue per customer from the NM 2015 Rate Case exceeds the actual revenue recovered, or return the difference to customers if the actual revenue per customer recovered exceeds the revenue per customer from the NM 2015 Rate Case. On July 13, 2020, NEE, ABCWUA, the City of Albuquerque, and Bernalillo County filed motions to dismiss the petition

on the grounds that approving PNM’s proposed rate adjustment mechanism outside of a general rate case would result in retroactive ratemaking and piecemeal ratemaking. The motions to dismiss also allege that PNM’s proposed rate adjustment mechanism is inconsistent with the EUEA. Responses to the motions to dismiss were filed on August 7, 2020. On September 16, 2020, ABCWUA, Bernalillo County, CCAE, the City of Albuquerque, NEE, NMAG, NMPRC Staff ("Staff"), and WRA filed testimony. CCAE and WRA supported PNM's petition, but recommended that the rate adjustment mechanism not take effect until new rates are approved in PNM's next general rate case. The other parties filing testimony opposed PNM's petition. On October 2, 2020, PNM requested an order to vacate the public hearing, scheduled to begin October 13, 2020, and staying the proceeding until the NMPRC decides whether to entertain a petition to issue a declaratory order resolving the issues raised in the motions to dismiss. On October 7, 2020, the hearing examiner approved PNM's request to stay the proceeding and vacate the public hearing and required PNM to file a petition for declaratory order by October 30, 2020. On October 30, 2020, PNM filed a petition for declaratory order asking the NMPRC to issue an order finding that full revenue decoupling is authorized by the EUEA. On November 4, 2020, ABCWUA and Bernalillo County jointly filed a competing petition asking the NMPRC to issue a declaratory order on the EUEA’s requirements related to disincentives. On November 24, 2020, the NMAG requested that the NMPRC deny both petitions for declaratory orders and instead address disincentives under the EUEA in a rulemaking. On March 17, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order granting the petitions for declaratory order, commencing a declaratory order proceeding to address the petitions, denying the NMAG’s request to initiate a rulemaking, and appointing a hearing examiner to preside over the declaratory order proceeding. Initial briefs were filed on June 7, 2021 and response briefs were filed on June 28, 2021. Oral arguments were made on July 15, 2021.

On January 14, 2022, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending the NMPRC find that the EUEA does not mandate the NMPRC to authorize or approve a full decoupling mechanism, defining full decoupling as limited to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs. The recommended decision also states that a utility may request approval of a rate adjustment mechanism to remove regulatory disincentives to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs through a stand-alone petition, as part of the utility’s triennial energy efficiency application or a general rate case and that PNM is not otherwise precluded from petitioning for a rate adjustment mechanism prior to its next general rate case. Finally, the recommended decision stated that the EUEA does not permit the NMPRC to reduce a utility’s ROE based on approval of a disincentive removal mechanism founded on removing regulatory disincentives to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs. The recommended decision does not specifically prohibit a downward adjustment to a utility’s capital structure, based on approval of a disincentive removal mechanism. On April 27, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the recommended decision in its entirety. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Integrated Resource Plans

NMPRC rules require that investor-owned utilities file an IRP every three years. The IRP is required to cover a 20-year planning period and contain an action plan covering the first four years of that period.

2020 IRP

NMPRC rules required PNM to file its 2020 IRP in July 2020. On March 16, 2020, PNM filed a motion to extend the deadline to file its 2020 IRP to six months after the NMPRC issues a final order approving a replacement resource portfolio and closes the docket in the bifurcated SJGS Abandonment Application and replacement resource proceedings. On April 8, 2020, the NMPRC approved PNM's motion to extend the deadline to file its 2020 IRP as requested. On January 29, 2021, PNM filed its 2020 IRP addressing the 20-year planning period, from 2020 through 2040. The plan focuses on a carbon-free electricity portfolio by 2040 that would eliminate coal at the end of 2024. This includes replacing the power from San Juan with a mix of approved carbon-free resources and the plan to exit Four Corners at the end of 2024. The plan highlights the need for additional investments in a diverse set of resources, including renewables to supply carbon-free power, energy storage to balance supply and demand, and efficiency and other demand-side resources to mitigate load growth. On May 24, 2021, the hearing examiner issued a procedural schedule and required PNM, upon request, to provide modeling data and assumptions to parties within two weeks. Additionally, PNM was required upon request, to run modeling or provide reasonable access to PNM virtual machines at PNM's expense. The alternative modeling deadline concluded on August 30, 2021 and Staff's recommendation was filed on November 12, 2021. The recommendation found that PNM has met the requirements of the IRP rule, but not the requirements of the NM 2016 Rate Case. On April 6, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order requiring PNM to update its 2020 IRP and to identify material events, including the SJGS extension and replacement resource delays, and the related impact to its plan. On April 27, 2022, PNM responded to the NMPRC order, as required. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Abandonment Applications made under the ETA

As discussed in Note 11, the ETA sets a statewide standard that requires investor-owned electric utilities to have specified percentages of their electric-generating portfolios be from renewable and zero-carbon generating resources. The ETA also provides for a transition from fossil-fuel generation resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources through certain provisions relating to the abandonment of coal-fired generating facilities. These provisions include the use of energy transition bonds, which are designed to be highly rated bonds that can be issued to finance certain costs of abandoning coal-fired facilities that are retired prior to January 1, 2023, for facilities operated by a “qualifying utility,” or prior to January 1, 2032, for facilities that are not operated by the qualifying utility.

SJGS Abandonment Application

On July 1, 2019, PNM filed a Consolidated Application for the Abandonment and Replacement of SJGS and Related Securitized Financing Pursuant to the ETA (the “SJGS Abandonment Application”). The SJGS Abandonment Application sought NMPRC approval to retire PNM’s share of SJGS after the existing coal supply and participation agreements end in June 2022, for approval of replacement resources, and for the issuance of energy transition bonds. PNM's application proposed several replacement resource scenarios. The SJGS Abandonment Application also included a request to issue approximately $361 million of energy transition bonds (the “Securitized Bonds”). PNM’s request for the issuance of Securitized Bonds included approximately $283 million of forecasted undepreciated investments in SJGS at June 30, 2022, an estimated $28.6 million for plant decommissioning and coal mine reclamation costs, approximately $9.6 million in upfront financing costs, and approximately $20.0 million for job training and severance costs for affected employees. Proceeds from the Securitization Bonds would also be used to fund approximately $19.8 million for economic development in the four corners area.

On July 10, 2019, the NMPRC issued an order requiring the SJGS Abandonment Application be considered in two proceedings: one addressing SJGS abandonment and related financing, and the other addressing replacement resources. The NMPRC indicated that PNM's July 1, 2019 filing is responsive to the January 30, 2019 order. Hearings on the abandonment and securitized financing proceedings were held in December 2019 and hearings on replacement resources were held in January 2020.

On February 21, 2020, the hearing examiners issued two recommended decisions recommending approval of PNM’s proposed abandonment of SJGS, subject to approval of replacement resources, and approval of PNM’s proposed financing order to issue Securitized Bonds.  The hearing examiners recommended that PNM be authorized to abandon SJGS by June 30, 2022, and to record regulatory assets for certain other abandonment costs that are not specifically addressed under the provisions of the ETA to preserve its ability to recover the costs in a future general rate case. The hearing examiners recommended that this authority only extend to the deferral of the costs and it not be an approval of any ratemaking treatment. The hearing examiners also recommended PNM be authorized to issue Securitized Bonds of up to $361 million and establish a rate rider to collect non-bypassable customer charges for repayment of the bonds and be subject to bi-annual adjustments (the "Energy Transition Charge"). The hearing examiners recommended an interim rate rider adjustment upon the start date of the Energy Transition Charge to provide immediate credits to customers for the full value of PNM’s revenue requirement related to SJGS until those reductions are reflected in base rates. In addition, the hearing examiners recommended PNM be granted authority to establish regulatory assets to recover costs that PNM will pay prior to the issuance of the Securitized Bonds, including costs associated with the bond issuances as well as for severances, job training, economic development, and workforce training. On April 1, 2020, the NMPRC unanimously approved the hearing examiners' recommended decisions regarding the abandonment of SJGS and the related securitized financing under the ETA.

On April 10, 2020, CFRE and NEE filed a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC's approval of PNM's request to issue securitized financing under the ETA. The NM Supreme Court granted motions to intervene filed by PNM, WRA, CCAE, and the Sierra Club. On May 8, 2020, CFRE and NEE filed a joint statement of issues with the NM Supreme Court which asserted that the NMPRC improperly applied the ETA and that the ETA violates the New Mexico Constitution. On August 17, 2020, the appellants filed a Brief in Chief and on October 5, 2020, PNM, WRA, CCAE, and Sierra Club filed Answer Briefs. On January 10, 2022, the NM Supreme Court issued its decision rejecting CFRE’s and NEE’s constitutional challenges to the ETA and affirmed the NMPRC final order.

In March 2020, PNMR and PNM recorded obligations of $9.4 million and $8.1 million for estimated severances, $8.9 million for obligations to fund severances and other costs of WSJ LLC employees, and to fund $19.8 million to state agencies for economic development and workforce training upon the issuance of the Securitized Bonds. The total amount recorded for these estimates of $36.9 million and $36.0 million is reflected in other current liabilities and as a corresponding deferred regulatory asset on PNMR's and PNM's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2021. In the three

months ended March 31, 2022, PNM paid $8.9 million for obligations to fund severances and other costs of WSJ LLC employees. PNM revised its estimates in the first quarter reflecting other current liabilities of $27.7 million and $26.8 million and deferred regulatory assets of $36.8 million and $35.9 million on PNMR's and PNM's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2022. These estimates may continue to be adjusted in future periods as the Company refines its expectations.

On June 24, 2020, the hearing examiners issued a recommended decision on PNM's request for approval of replacement resources that addressed the entire portfolio of replacement resources, which superseded a previous partial recommended decision issued on March 27, 2020. The hearing examiners concluded that the ultimate selection of a portfolio of replacement resources involves policy considerations that are the province of the NMPRC and stated that they did not intend to make that decision for the NMPRC. On July 29, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order approving resource selection criteria identified in the ETA that would include PPAs for 650 MW of solar and 300 MW of battery storage. The order also granted in part PNM’s request for an extension of time for PNM to file the application to implement the replacement resource portfolio. PNM had 60 days from the date of the order to file an application in a separate docket seeking approval of the proposed final executed contracts, for any replacement resources not in evidence that had been approved by the NMPRC.

On September 28, 2020, PNM filed its application for approval of the final executed contracts for the replacement resources. In addition, PNM provided updated cost estimates of $8.1 million for the SJGS replacement resources, based on the NMPRC authorization to create regulatory assets granted in the abandonment order, which it plans to seek recovery of in a future general rate case. On November 13, 2020, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending approval of a 200 MW solar PPA combined with a 100 MW battery storage agreement and the 100 MW solar PPA combined with a 30 MW battery storage agreement. On December 2, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the recommended decision in its entirety.

Throughout 2021 and continuing into 2022, PNM provided notices of delays and status updates to the NMPRC for the approved SJGS replacement resource projects. All four project developers have notified PNM that completion of the projects will be delayed and no longer available for the 2022 summer peak and some may also not be available for the 2023 summer peak. The delays in the SJGS replacement resources, coupled with the abandonment of SJGS Units 1 and 4 present a risk that PNM will not have sufficient operational resources to meet the 2022 summer peak demand and reliably serve its customers unless PNM is able to place additional generation resources in service. In the second half of 2021, PNM entered into three agreements to purchase power from third parties to minimize potential impacts to customers; the purchase of 85 MW, unit contingent from Four Corners for June through September of 2022; the purchase of 150 MW, firm power in June and September 2022; and the purchase of 40 MW, unit contingent from PVNGS Unit 3 for the full year of 2022. After considering these additional contracts, PNM projected a system reserve margin ranging from 0.9% to (3.4%) during the 2022 summer peak. As a result, on February 17, 2022, PNM filed a Notice and Request for Modification to or Variance from Abandonment Date for SJGS Unit 4 with the NMPRC. The filing provided notice that PNM had obtained agreement from the SJGS owners and WSJ LLC to extend operation of SJGS Unit 4 until September 30, 2022. SJGS Unit 4 will provide 327 MW of capacity and improve PNM’s projected system reserve margin to a range from 17.4% to 9.8%. On February 23, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order finding that PNM did not require NMPRC approval to extend operation of SJGS Unit 4 for an additional three-month period. The NMPRC’s order states that issues regarding the prudence or reasonableness of the decisions made, actions taken by PNM, and recoverability of costs related to the continued operation of SJGS Unit 4, including fuel costs collected through PNM’s FPPAC, shall be subject to review in a future proceeding. On February 25, 2022, the amended San Juan Project Participation Agreement was filed with FERC. On March 18, 2022, PNM filed its Compliance Notice updating its January 26, 2022 Compliance Notice indicating that 65 MW of SJGS Unit 4 owned as a deregulated merchant resource will be available to PNM retail operations on a system contingent basis, which increases PNM's projected system reserve margin to a range from 20.7% to 12.5% during the 2022 summer peak. On March 24, 2022, FERC accepted the amended SJGS participation agreement. Given the non-normal geological condition impeding longwall progress in the San Juan Mine, PNM does not know whether reduced levels of coal inventory may continue to impact full load operations through the remainder of the CSA and the projected system reserve margin for the 2022 summer peak. See Note 11.

On February 28, 2022, WRA and CCAE filed a Joint Motion for Order to Show Cause and Enforce Financing Order and Supporting Brief, which requests that the NMPRC order PNM to show cause why its rates should not be reduced at the time SJGS is abandoned, and to otherwise enforce the NMPRC’s April 1, 2020 final order. On March 14, 2022, PNM filed its response to the Joint Motion to Show Cause refuting the movants' claims that the ETA and April 1, 2020 Financing Order require energy transition bonds be issued at the time of abandonment and that rates be reduced upon abandonment as not being legally supportable. The movants filed joint replies on March 24, 2022. In response, on March 30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an Order appointing hearing examiners to conduct a hearing, if necessary, and to issue a recommended decision to address the

issues raised by the motion. The Order also states that the hearing examiners should endeavor to issue a recommended decision with sufficient time for consideration of exceptions and for the NMPRC to be able to take action prior to June 30, 2022. The hearing examiners issued a procedural order which required PNM to file testimony on April 20, 2022 and scheduled a hearing to begin on May 23, 2022. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Additional information concerning the SJGS Abandonment Application is contained in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Four Corners Abandonment Application

On November 1, 2020, PNM entered into the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement with NTEC, pursuant to which PNM will sell its 13% ownership interest (other than certain transmission assets) in Four Corners to NTEC. The sale is contingent upon NMPRC approval and expected to close by the end of 2024. In connection with the sale, PNM would make payments of $75.0 million to NTEC for relief from its obligations under the coal supply agreement for Four Corners after December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement, PNM will retain its current plant decommissioning and coal mine reclamation obligations. PNM made an initial payment to NTEC of $15.0 million in November 2020, subject to refund with interest upon termination of the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement prior to closing. Under the terms of the Four Corners Purchase and Sale Agreement, upon receipt of the NMPRC approval, PNM would make a final payment of $60.0 million. The initial $15.0 million payment was recorded in other deferred charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On January 8, 2021, PNM filed the Four Corners Abandonment Application, which sought NMPRC approval to exit PNM’s share of Four Corners as of December 31, 2024, and issuance of approximately $300 million of energy transition bonds as provided by the ETA. PNM’s request for the issuance of Securitized Bonds included approximately $272 million of forecasted undepreciated investments in Four Corners at December 31, 2024, an estimated $4.6 million for plant decommissioning costs, an estimated $7.3 million in upfront financing costs, and an estimated $16.5 million in economic development. PNM intends to submit a separate application for NMPRC approval of a replacement resource portfolio following NMPRC action on this application.

On March 15, 2021, PNM filed an amended application and supplemental testimony for the approval of the abandonment and transfer of Four Corners and issuance of a financing order pursuant to the ETA and a motion to withdraw the January 8, 2021 Four Corners Application. The amended application and supplemental testimony provided additional information to support PNM's request to abandon its interest in Four Corners and transfer that interest to NTEC, and also provided additional detail explaining how the proposed sale and abandonment provides a net public benefit.

A hearing began August 31, 2021, briefs were filed October 1, 2021 and response briefs were filed October 13, 2021. On November 12, 2021, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending approval of the Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance of securitized financing. On December 15, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order rejecting the hearing examiners recommended decision and denying approval of the Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance of securitized financing. In its order, the NMPRC concluded that PNM needed to conduct a review of the actual replacement resource portfolio and determined that the record was insufficient to determine the prudence of PNM’s investments in Four Corners. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC decision to deny the application. On January 21, 2022, PNM filed a statement of issues outlining the arguments for appeal asserting, among other things, that the NMPRC misinterpreted and improperly applied the ETA in concluding that the NMPRC needed to review the actual replacement resource portfolio before authorizing abandonment and that the NMPRC improperly deferred the issue of prudence with respect to certain of PNM’s investments in Four Corners, where other parties were given the opportunity to present evidence and failed to demonstrate PNM was imprudent in its decisions. On March 24, 2022, PNM filed its Brief in Chief and answer briefs are due from the NMPRC on May 9, 2022.

GAAP requires a loss be recognized when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2022, PNM evaluated the NMPRC order in the Four Corners Abandonment Application and determined it was reasonably possible that PNM would be successful in recovery of its undepreciated investment in a future proceeding. Therefore, no loss has been recorded.

The financial impact of an early exit of Four Corners and the NMPRC approval process are influenced by many factors outside of PNM’s control, including the overall political and economic conditions of New Mexico. See additional discussion of the ETA in Note 11. PNM cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application

On April 2, 2021, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC requesting approval for the decertification and abandonment of 114 MW of leased PVNGS capacity, sale and transfer of related assets, and approval to procure new resources ("PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application"). As discussed in Note 13, PNM currently controls leased capacity in PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2 under five separate leases ("Leased Interest") that were approved and certificated by the predecessor agency to the NMPRC in the 1980s. Four of the five leases for 104 MW of Leased Interest terminate on January 15, 2023, while the remaining lease for 10 MW of Leased Interest terminates on January 15, 2024. Associated with the Leased Interest are certain PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel that are necessary for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the Leased Interest and integration of the Leased Interest generation to the transmission network. PNM has determined that there will be net benefits to its customers to return the Leased Interest to the lessors in conformity with the leases, sell and transfer the related PNM-owned assets, and to replace the Leased Interest with new resources. In the application PNM requested NMPRC authorization to decertify and abandon its Leased Interest and to create regulatory assets for the associated remaining undepreciated investments with consideration of cost recovery of the undepreciated investments in a future rate case. PNM also sought NMPRC approval to sell and transfer the PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel supply associated with the Leased Interest to SRP, which will be acquiring the Leased Interest from the lessors upon termination of the existing leases. In addition, PNM sought NMPRC approval for a 150 MW solar PPA combined with a 40 MW battery storage agreement, and a stand-alone 100 MW battery storage agreement to replace the Leased Interest. To ensure system reliability and load needs are met in 2023, when a majority of the leases expire, PNM also requested NMPRC approval for a 300 MW solar PPA combined with a 150 MW battery storage agreement. PNM's application sought a six-month regulatory time frame.

On April 21, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order assigning a hearing examiner and stated PNM's request to abandon the Leased Interest does not have any statutory or rule time limitation and the six-month limit in which the NMPRC must issue an order regarding the request for approvals of the solar PPAs and battery storage agreements does not begin until after the NMPRC acts on the abandonment request. The NMPRC's April 21, 2021 order also stated that issues reserved to a separate proceeding in the NM 2015 Rate Case regarding the decision to permanently disallow recovery of certain future decommissioning costs related to PVNGS Units 1 and 2 shall be addressed in this case and PNM shall file testimony addressing the issue. On June 14, 2021 and June 25, 2021, PNM filed supplemental testimony responding to questions provided by the hearing examiner. On June 28, 2021, NEE and CCAE jointly filed a motion to dismiss a portion of the application claiming that since PNM's request to abandon the Leased Interest was filed after PNM had already provided irrevocable notice it would not acquire the Leased Interest, abandonment is no longer required. On July 28, 2021, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision on NEE's and CCAE's joint motion to dismiss, recommending dismissal of PNM's requests for approval to abandon and decertify the Leased Interest; dismissal of PNM's request for approval to sell and transfer the related assets; and dismissal of PNM's request to create regulatory assets for the associated remaining undepreciated investments, but did not preclude PNM seeking recovery of the costs in a general rate case in which the test year period includes the time period in which PNM incurs such costs. The hearing examiner's recommended decision further provides that PNM's request for replacement and system reliability resources and the decision to permanently disallow recovery of certain future decommissioning costs related to PVNGS Units 1 and 2 should remain within the scope of this case.

On August 25, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order granting portions of the July 28, 2021 recommended decision that were not contested related to dismissal of PNM's request for approval to abandon and decertify the Leased Interest and dismissal of PNM's request for approval to sell and transfer the related assets. In addition, the order bifurcated the issue of approval for the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements into a separate docket so it may proceed expeditiously. On September 8, 2021 the NMPRC issued an order on the remaining issues in the recommended decision. The order found that PNM's request for a regulatory asset to record costs associated with obtaining an abandonment order should be dismissed. However, the requests for regulatory assets associated with the remaining undepreciated investments should be addressed at an evidentiary hearing. On September 20, 2021, ABCWUA, Bernalillo County, NEE and the NMAG filed a joint motion to reconsider the September 8, 2021 NMPRC order. Also, on September 20, 2021, PNM filed a motion for rehearing of the September 8, 2021 order stating that certain requirements of the order would lead to compromising PNM's First Amendment rights. On October 6, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order granting the motions for reconsideration and vacated the September 8, 2021 order, without specifically addressing issues raised in the motions.

The hearing on the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements was held on November 12 and 15, 2021 and December 3, 2021 and post-hearing briefing was completed on January 18, 2022. On February 14, 2022, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending the NMPRC approve the 150 MW solar PPA combined with a 40 MW battery storage agreement, the stand-alone 100 MW battery storage agreement, and the 300 MW solar PPA combined with a 150 MW battery storage agreement. On February 16, 2022, the NMPRC adopted an order approving the recommended decision. On

April 15, 2022, PNM made a compliance filing with the NMPRC in which it updated the NMPRC on the status of the PPAs and the battery storage agreements listed above. It has been determined that the projects will not be in commercial operation in time for the 2023 summer peak. PNM is conferring with project developers and is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

In addition to approval by the NMPRC, PNM and SRP received NRC approval for the transfer of the associated possessory licenses at the end of the term of each of the respective leases. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
COVID-19 Regulatory Matters

In March 2020, PNM and other utilities voluntarily implemented a temporary suspension of disconnections and late payment fees for non-payment of utility bills in response to the impacts of COVID-19. On March 18, 2020, the NMPRC conducted an emergency open meeting for the purpose of adopting emergency amendments to its rules governing service to residential customers. The NMPRC’s emergency order was applicable during the duration of the Governor of New Mexico's emergency executive order and allowed for the closure of payment centers, prohibited the discontinuance of a residential customer’s service for non-payment, and suspended the expiration of medical certificates for certain customers. On April 27, 2020, PNM, El Paso Electric Company, New Mexico Gas Company, and Southwestern Public Service Company filed a joint motion with the NMPRC requesting authorization to track costs resulting from each utility's response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The utilities proposed these incremental costs and uncollected customer accounts receivable resulting from COVID-19 during the period March 11, 2020 through December 31, 2020, be recorded as a regulatory asset. On June 24, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order authorizing all public utilities regulated by the NMPRC to create a regulatory asset to defer incremental costs related to COVID-19, including increases to bad debt expense incurred during the period beginning March 11, 2020 through the termination of the Governor of New Mexico’s emergency executive order. The NMPRC order requires public utilities creating regulatory assets to pursue all federal, state, or other subsidies available, to record a regulatory liability for all offsetting cost savings resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and allows PNM to request recovery in future ratemaking proceedings. As a result, PNM had deferred costs related to COVID-19 of $6.8 million and $6.9 million in regulatory assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In addition, PNM has costs savings related to COVID-19 of $0.9 million in regulatory liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Although PNM still intends to seek recovery for the increase in bad debt expense resulting from COVID-19 through a regulatory asset in a future general rate case proceeding, it no longer intends to seek recovery of other incremental costs related to the pandemic.

On February 3, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order finding that the temporary mandatory moratorium on disconnections of residential utility customers would be in effect from the date of the order for 100 days, which ended May 14, 2021. At the end of the moratorium, the 90-day transition period began, which continued the temporary moratorium on disconnections to provide the utilities additional time to assist residential customers with arrearages to enter into installment agreements. On July 14, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order clarifying previous orders that the mandatory requirements of the NMPRC's previous order prohibiting residential disconnects should be voluntarily complied with by investor-owned utilities until August 12, 2021. PNM began disconnections at the end of the transition period.

Transportation Electrification Program

On December 18, 2020, in compliance with New Mexico Statute, PNM filed its PNM 2022-2023 TEP for approval with the NMPRC. PNM’s requested TEP included a budget of approximately $8.4 million with flexibility of 25%. As proposed, up to 25% of the program budget will be dedicated to low and moderate income customers and is based on a model with no company ownership of charging facilities. PNM’s proposed TEP provides incentives through rebates to both residential and non-residential customers towards the purchase of chargers and/or behind-the-meter infrastructure. PNM’s TEP includes a request for a modified rate to add an electric vehicle pilot with a time-of-use option, a new non-residential electric vehicle time-of-use rate pilot without demand charges and implementation of a new rider to collect the actual costs of the TEP. PNM’s application requested NMPRC approval by the end of August 2021 and authority to file a new TEP by the end of June 2023. On August 30, 2021, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision approving, among other things, PNM's budget flexibility proposal, PNM's proposed pilot time-of-use rate and PNM's TEP Rider. On November 10, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order approving PNM's TEP.

The Community Solar Act

On June 18, 2021, Senate Bill 84, known as the Community Solar Act, became effective. The Community Solar Act establishes a program that allows for the development of community solar facilities and provides customers of a qualifying utility with the option of accessing solar energy produced by a community solar facility in accordance with the Community Solar Act. The NMPRC is charged with administering the Community Solar Act program, establishing a total maximum capacity of 200 MW community solar (applicable until November 2024) facilities and allocating proportionally to the New Mexico electric investor-owned utilities and participating cooperatives. As required under the Community Solar Act, the NMPRC opened a docket on May 12, 2021 to adopt rules to establish a community solar program no later than April 1, 2022. On June 15, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order which required utilities provide a notice to all future applicants and to any likely applicants that, until the effective date of the NMPRC's rules in this area the NMPRC's existing interconnection rules and manual remain in place until amended or replaced by the NMPRC, and further, that a place in a utility's applicant queue for interconnection does not and will not provide any advantage for selection as a community solar project. PNM has provided the required notices. On October 27, 2021, the NMPRC adopted an order issuing a NOPR starting the formal process for adoption of rules pursuant to the Community Solar Act. On March 30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an Order that adopted a rule on the administration of the Community Solar Act program. The rule requires utilities to file proposed community solar tariffs with the NMPRC within 60 days from the publication of the rule.

San Juan Generating Station Unit 1 Outage

On June 30, 2021, a cooling tower used for SJGS Unit 1 failed resulting in a unit outage. SJGS Unit 1 was brought back online on July 25, 2021. PNM anticipates the damages to the facility will be reimbursed under an existing property insurance policy that covers SJGS, subject to a deductible of $2.0 million. PNM’s share of the deductible is $1.0 million, reflecting PNM’s 50% ownership interest in SJGS Unit 1. On July 14, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order opening a formal docket and inquiry into the cooling tower incident. PNM has responded to a number of NMPRC questions in the inquiry, including questions about the cause of the cooling tower failure, cost and progress of the cleanup and remediation, whether customers experienced loss of service, how PNM provided power during the outage, safety practices and procedures at SJGS, and the history of inspections on the cooling towers. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Formula Transmission Rates
PNM charges wholesale electric transmission service customers using a formula rate mechanism pursuant to which wholesale transmission service rates are calculated annually in accordance with an approved formula. The formula reflects a ROE of 10% and includes updating cost of service components, including investment in plant and operating expenses, based on information contained in PNM’s annual financial report filed with FERC, as well as including projected large transmission capital projects to be placed into service in the following year. The projections included are subject to true-up in the following year formula rate. Certain items, including changes to return on equity and depreciation rates, require a separate filing to be made with FERC before being included in the formula rate.
On April 21, 2022, FERC instituted a show cause proceeding under Section 206 of the Federal Power Act to investigate the justness and reasonableness of PNM's transmission formula rate protocols. The Order directs PNM, within 60 days to revise its formula rate protocols to provide interested parties the information necessary to understand and evaluate the implementation of the formula rate for both the correctness of inputs and calculations, and the reasonableness and prudence of the costs to be recovered in the formula rate or show cause why it should not be required to do so. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

Unexecuted Transmission Service Agreements (TSAs) with Leeward Renewable Energy

On March 12, 2021, PNM filed four unexecuted TSAs with FERC totaling 145 MW with Leeward. The unexecuted TSAs provide long-term firm, point-to-point transmission service on PNM’s transmission system. The unexecuted TSAs are based on the pro-forma transmission service agreements with certain non-conforming provisions under Attachment A of PNM’s OATT and include PNM’s OATT rate. PNM is filing the unexecuted TSAs at the request of Leeward because the parties have been unable to reach an agreement on the terms and conditions for transmission service. In particular, Leeward believes the rate under the unexecuted TSAs should be an incremental rate while PNM believes the appropriate rate is its OATT rate.

On April 2, 2021, Leeward and Pattern Wind separately protested PNM’s March 12, 2021 filing of four unexecuted TSAs with Leeward. The parties are requesting that FERC direct PNM to apply the same rate to the unexecuted TSAs as the incremental rate assessed to the Western Spirit transmission facilities, inclusive of Leeward’s network upgrades and requested

service, or, in the alternative, initiate hearing and settlement judge procedures to address the unjust and unreasonable application of the FERC’s “higher of” policy. On April 19, 2021, PNM filed a motion for leave to answer and contested the arguments made by Leeward and Pattern Wind. In its response, PNM stated that it disagrees with the parties' pricing scheme because doing so would not recognize all the transmission facilities necessary to provide Leeward service, does not hold PNM's other transmission customers harmless, and is inconsistent with FERC pricing policy and precedent. PNM further explained that the proposal to include its FERC approved embedded rate in the unexecuted TSAs is just and reasonable and should be accepted by FERC. On May 11, 2021, FERC issued an order accepting PNM's four unexecuted TSAs. In the order, FERC stated that it agreed with PNM's pricing scheme and agreed that PNM's proposal to use the OATT rate will ensure that the benefit of Leeward's addition to the system will be spread among other existing system users, rather than simply transferred to Pattern Wind. On June 10, 2021, Pattern Wind and Leeward both filed a request for rehearing of the FERC Order. On September 10, 2021, Leeward filed a petition in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for review of FERC's order accepting PNM's four unexecuted TSAs. On November 15, 2021, FERC issued an order denying the rehearing. On December 3, 2021, Leeward filed an Unopposed Motion for Voluntary Dismissal with the United States District Court for the District of Columbia of its petition for review, which was granted on March 22, 2022. This matter is now concluded.

FERC Compliance

PNM is conducting a comprehensive internal review of its filings with FERC regarding the potential timely filing of certain agreements that contained deviations from PNM’s standard form of service agreement in its OATT and assessing any applicable FERC waivers or refund requirements. Upon completion of the comprehensive review, PNM identified service agreements containing provisions that do not conform to the standard form of agreement on file with FERC. On March 18 and March 21, 2022, PNM filed applications with FERC requesting acceptance of certain agreements as well as rejection of other non-conforming service agreements and further requesting that FERC not assess time-value refunds on the accepted agreements. No parties commented or intervened on PNM's application and FERC action must be taken by May 17 and May 20, 2022. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

TNMP

Transmission Cost of Service Rates

TNMP can update its TCOS rates twice per year to reflect changes in its invested capital although updates are not allowed while a general rate case is in process. Updated rates reflect the addition and retirement of transmission facilities, including appropriate depreciation, federal income tax and other associated taxes, and the approved rate of return on such facilities. The following sets forth TNMP’s recent interim transmission cost rate increases:

Effective DateApproved Increase in Rate BaseAnnual Increase in Revenue
(In millions)
March 12, 2021$112.6 $14.1 
September 20, 2021$41.2 $6.3 
March 25, 2022$95.6 $14.2 

Periodic Distribution Rate Adjustment

PUCT rules permit interim rate adjustments to reflect changes in investments in distribution assets. Distribution utilities may file for a periodic rate adjustment between April 1 and April 8 of each year as long as the electric utility is not earning more than its authorized rate of return using weather-normalized data. Utilities are limited to four periodic interim distribution rate adjustments between general rate cases.

On April 5, 2021, TNMP filed its 2021 DCOS that requested an increase in TNMP annual distribution revenue requirement of $14.0 million based on an increase in rate base of $104.5 million. On July 1, 2021, TNMP reached a unanimous settlement agreement with parties that would authorize TNMP to collect an increase in annual distribution revenues of $13.5 million beginning in September 2021. The ALJ issued an order on July 9, 2021 approving interim rates effective September 1, 2021 that the PUCT approved on September 23, 2021. On April 5, 2022, TNMP filed its 2022 DCOS that requested an increase in TNMP annual distribution revenue requirement of $9.7 million based on an increase in rate base of $100.7 million.

Energy Efficiency

TNMP recovers the costs of its energy efficiency programs through an energy efficiency cost recovery factor (“EECRF”), which includes projected program costs, under and over collected costs from prior years, rate case expenses, and performance bonuses (if programs exceed mandated savings goals). TNMP’s 2020 EECRF filing requested recovery of $5.9 million, including a performance bonus of $1.0 million, and became effective on March 1, 2021. TNMP's 2021 EECRF filing requested recovery of $7.2 million, including a performance bonus of $2.3 million, and became effective March 1, 2022.


COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program

On March 26, 2020, the PUCT issued an order establishing an electricity relief program for electric utilities, REPs, and customers impacted by COVID-19. The program allowed providers to implement a rider to collect unpaid residential retail customer bills and to ensure these customers continued to have electric service. In addition, the program provided transmission and distribution providers access to zero-interest loans from ERCOT. Collectively, ERCOT’s loans could not exceed $15 million. The program had a term of six months unless extended by the PUCT. In a separate order, the PUCT authorized electric utilities to establish a regulatory asset for costs related to COVID-19. These costs included but were not limited to costs related to unpaid accounts.

TNMP filed its rider on March 30, 2020. The rider was effective immediately and established a charge of $0.33 per MWh in accordance with the PUCT's order. Final collections under the rider exceeded unpaid residential retail customer bills and were presented net as a regulatory liability of $0.1 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020. In 2021, TNMP refunded the net regulatory liability through its transmission cost recovery factor. Other COVID-19 related costs of $0.2 million and zero were recorded as a regulatory asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

On August 27, 2020, the PUCT issued an order determining that new enrollments in the program should end on August 31, 2020 and benefits under the program should end on September 30, 2020 to allow eligible customers a minimum of one month of benefits from the program. All requests for reimbursement were made by November 30, 2020. On December 4, 2020, TNMP filed to end collections under the tariff. Final collections under the rider were made on December 11, 2020. On January 14, 2021, TNMP made a final compliance filing for the electricity relief program.

AMS Reconciliation

On July 14, 2021, TNMP filed a request with the PUCT to consider and approve its final reconciliation of the costs spent on the deployment of AMS from April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 of $9.0 million and approve appropriate carrying charges until full collection. On September 13, 2021, the PUCT Staff filed a recommendation for approval of TNMP's application for substantially all costs from April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. On February 10, 2022, the PUCT approved substantially all costs included in TNMP's AMS reconciliation application. TNMP will seek recovery of these costs and associated carrying charges in a future general rate proceeding.

(13)     Lease Commitments

The Company leases office buildings, vehicles, and other equipment. In addition, PNM leases interests in PVNGS Units 1 and 2 and certain rights-of-way agreements are classified as leases. All of the Company's leases with terms in excess of one year are recorded on the balance sheet by recording a present value lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use asset. Operating lease expense is recognized within operating expenses according to the use of the asset on a straight-line basis. Financing lease costs, which are comprised primarily of fleet and office equipment leases commencing after January 1, 2019, are recognized by amortizing the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis and by recording interest expense on the lease liability. Financing lease right-of-use assets amortization is reflected in depreciation and amortization and interest on financing lease liabilities is reflected as interest charges on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

See additional discussion of the Company's leasing activities in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PVNGS

PNM leases interests in Units 1 and 2 of PVNGS. The PVNGS leases were entered into in 1985 and 1986 and initially were scheduled to expire on January 15, 2015 for the four Unit 1 leases and January 15, 2016 for the four Unit 2 leases. Following procedures set forth in the PVNGS leases, PNM notified four of the lessors under the Unit 1 leases and one lessor under the Unit 2 lease that it would elect to renew those leases on the expiration date of the original leases. The four Unit 1 leases now expire on January 15, 2023 and the one Unit 2 lease now expires on January 15, 2024. The annual lease payments during the renewal periods aggregate $16.5 million for PVNGS Unit 1 and $1.6 million for Unit 2.

The terms of each of the extended leases do not provide for additional renewal options beyond their currently scheduled expiration dates. PNM had the option to purchase the assets underlying each of the extended leases at their fair market value or to return the lease interests to the lessors on the expiration dates. On June 11, 2020, PNM provided notice to the lessors and the NMPRC of its intent to return the assets underlying both the PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2 leases upon their expiration in January 2023 and 2024. Although PNM elected to return the assets underlying the extended leases, PNM retains certain obligations related to PVNGS, including costs to decommission the facility. PNM is depreciating its capital improvements related to the extended leases using NMPRC approved rates through the end of the NRC license period for each unit, which expire in June 2045 for Unit 1 and in June 2046 for Unit 2.

On April 5, 2021, PNM and SRP entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement, pursuant to which PNM agreed to sell to SRP certain PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel necessary to the ongoing operation and maintenance of leased capacity in PVNGS Unit 1 and Unit 2, which SRP has agreed to acquire from the lessors upon termination of the existing leases. The proposed transaction between PNM and SRP is subject to receipt by PNM of approval by the NMPRC and PNM and SRP require NRC approval for the transfer of the associated possessory licenses at the end of the term of each of the respective leases. If the proposed transaction is not consummated, PNM may be required to retain all or a portion of its currently leased capacity in PVNGS or be exposed to other claims for damages by the lessors. PNM will seek to recover its undepreciated investments, as well as any other obligations related to PVNGS from NM retail customers. See PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application discussion in Note 12.

PNM is exposed to loss under the PVNGS lease arrangements upon the occurrence of certain events that PNM does not consider reasonably likely to occur. Under certain circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to PVNGS or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), PNM would be required to make specified payments to the lessors and take title to the Leased Interests. If such an event had occurred as of March 31, 2022, amounts due to the lessors under the circumstances described above would be up to $145.0 million, payable on July 15, 2022 in addition to the scheduled lease payments due on that date.

Land Easements and Rights-of-Ways

Many of PNM’s electric transmission and distribution facilities are located on lands that require the grant of rights-of-way from governmental entities, Native American tribes, or private parties. PNM has completed several renewals of rights-of-way, the largest of which is a renewal with the Navajo Nation. PNM is obligated to pay the Navajo Nation annual payments of $6.0 million, subject to adjustment each year based on the Consumer Price Index, through 2029. PNM’s April 2022 payment for the amount due under the Navajo Nation right-of-way lease was $7.8 million, which included amounts due under the Consumer Price Index adjustment. Changes in the Consumer Price Index subsequent to January 1, 2019 are considered variable lease payments.

PNM has other prepaid rights-of-way agreements that are not accounted for as leases or recognized as a component of plant in service. PNM reflects the unamortized balance of these prepayments in other deferred charges on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognizes amortization expense associated with these agreements in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings over their term. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the unamortized balance of these rights-of-ways was $52.6 million and $53.4 million. PNM recognized amortization expense associated with these agreements of $1.0 million and $0.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Fleet Vehicles and Equipment

Fleet vehicle and equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019 are classified as financing leases. Fleet vehicle and equipment leases existing as of December 31, 2018 are classified as operating leases. The Company’s fleet vehicle and equipment lease agreements include non-lease components for insignificant administrative and other costs that are billed

(14)   Income Taxes

In December 2017, comprehensive changes in United States federal income taxes were enacted through legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made many significant modifications to the tax laws, including reducing the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act also eliminated federal bonus depreciation for utilities, limited interest deductibility for non-utility businesses and limited the deductibility of officer compensation. During 2020, the IRS issued final regulations related to certain officer compensation and, in January 2021, issued final regulations on interest deductibility that provide a 10% “de minimis” exception that allows entities with predominantly regulated activities to fully deduct interest expenses. In addition, in 2020, the IRS finalized regulations interpreting Tax Act amendments to depreciation provisions of the IRC that allowed the Company to claim a bonus depreciation deduction on certain construction projects placed in service subsequent to the third quarter of 2017. See additional discussion of the impacts of the Tax Act in Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. Among other things, the CARES Act includes tax provisions that generally loosen restrictions on NOL utilization and business interest deductions, and accelerate refunds of previously generated alternative minimum tax credits. In addition, the CARES Act includes a temporary provision allowing businesses to defer payments to the government for some payroll taxes. In 2020, the Company applied for $5.2 million of accelerated refunds of previously generated alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits and deferred $7.0 million of payments for certain payroll taxes. The Company received the $5.2 million refund of prior AMT credits in June 2021 and paid $3.5 million of payroll taxes in December 2021. The CARES Act provisions related to NOL utilization and business interest deductions are not applicable for the Company.

Beginning February 2018, PNM’s NM 2016 Rate Case reflects the reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate, including amortization of excess deferred federal and state income taxes. In accordance with the order in that case, PNM is returning the protected portion of excess deferred federal income taxes to customers over the average remaining life of plant in service as of December 31, 2017, and the unprotected portion of excess deferred federal income taxes to customers over a period of approximately twenty-three years. Excess deferred state income taxes were returned to customers over a three-year period, which concluded in the first quarter of 2021. The approved settlement in the TNMP 2018 Rate Case includes a reduction in customer rates to reflect the impacts of the Tax Act beginning on January 1, 2019. PNMR, PNM, and TNMP will amortize federal excess deferred income taxes of $23.6 million, $14.4 million, and $9.2 million in 2022. See additional discussion of PNM’s NM 2016 Rate Case and TNMP’s 2018 Rate Case in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The Company makes an estimate of its anticipated effective tax rate for the year as of the end of each quarterly period within its fiscal year. In interim periods, income tax expense is calculated by applying the anticipated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings before income taxes. Certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including excess tax benefits or tax deficiencies related to stock awards and taxes on Merger-related costs are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation. At March 31, 2022, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP estimated their effective income tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2022 would be 13.12%, 14.50%, and 12.37%. The primary difference between the statutory income tax rates and the effective tax rates is the effect of the reduction in income tax expense resulting from the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes.

(16)   Equity Method Investment

As discussed in Note 1 of the Company's 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners created NMRD in September 2017 to pursue the acquisition, development, and ownership of renewable energy generation projects, primarily in the state of New Mexico. As of March 31, 2022, NMRD’s renewable energy capacity in operation was 135.1 MW. PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners each have a 50% ownership interest in NMRD. The investment in NMRD is accounted for using the equity method of accounting because PNMR’s ownership interest results in significant influence, but not control, over NMRD and its operations.

In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, neither PNMR Development nor AEP OnSite Partners made any cash contributions to NMRD for its construction activities. In February 2021, NMRD paid both PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners a dividend of $3.0 million. PNMR Development's cumulative equity in earnings of NMRD as of March 31, 2021 was $2.4 million and is presented as cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The portion of the dividend in excess of PNMR Development's cumulative equity in earnings of NMRD amounting to $0.6 million is presented as cash flows from investing activities.

(17)     Merger

On October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR, with PNMR surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of PNMR common stock at the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $50.30 in cash.

The proposed Merger has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub and approved by PNMR shareholders at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on February 12, 2021.

The Merger Agreement provided that it may be terminated by each of PNMR and Avangrid under certain circumstances, including if the Effective Time shall not have occurred by the January 20, 2022 End Date; however, either PNMR or Avangrid could extend the End Date to April 20, 2022 if all conditions to closing have been satisfied other than the obtaining of all required regulatory approvals. As discussed below, on December 8, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order rejecting the stipulation agreement relating to the Merger. In light of the NMPRC ruling, on January 3, 2022, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into an Amendment to the Merger Agreement pursuant to which PNMR and Avangrid agreed to extend the End Date to April 20, 2023.

The Merger is subject to certain regulatory approvals, including from the NMPRC. The Joint Applicants (PNMR and Avangrid) to the NMPRC application and a number of intervening parties had entered into an amended stipulation and agreement in the Joint Application for approval of Merger pending before the NMPRC. An evidentiary hearing was held in August 2021. On November 1, 2021, a Certification of Stipulation was issued by the hearing examiner, which recommended against approval of the amended stipulation. On December 8, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the Certification of Stipulation, rejecting the amended stipulation reached by the parties. On January 3, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court. On February 2, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed a statement of issues outlining the argument for appeal. On April 7, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed their Brief in Chief with the NM Supreme Court. Answer briefs are due from the NMPRC on June 13, 2022, and response briefs are due July 6, 2022.

With respect to other regulatory proceedings related to the Merger, in 2021 PNMR received clearances for the Merger from the FTC under the HSR Act, CFIUS, the FCC, FERC, the PUCT, and the NRC. As a result of the delay in closing of the

Merger due to the need to obtain NMPRC approval, PNMR and Avangrid were required to make a new filing under the HSR Act and request extensions of approvals previously received from the FCC and NRC. On February 9, 2022, the request for extension was filed with the NRC. On February 24, 2022, the requests for a 180-day extension were granted by the FCC. PNMR and Avangrid expect to make a new filing under the HSR Act later in 2022. No additional approvals are required from CFIUS, FERC or the PUCT.

Consummation of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, the absence of any material adverse effect on PNMR, the receipt of required regulatory approval from the NMPRC, and the agreements relating to the divestiture of Four Corners being in full force and effect and all applicable regulatory filings associated therewith being made. The agreement relating to the divestiture of Four Corners has been entered into and is in full effect and related filings have been made with the NMPRC.

The Merger Agreement provides for certain customary termination rights. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances (including if Avangrid terminates the Merger Agreement due to a change in recommendation of the Board or if PNMR terminates the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and in either case prior to PNMR's shareholder having approved the Merger), PNMR will be required to pay Avangrid a termination fee of $130.0 million. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that (i) if the Merger Agreement is terminated by either party due to a failure of a regulatory closing condition and such failure is the result of Avangrid’s breach of its regulatory covenants or (ii) Avangrid fails to effect the closing when all closing conditions have been satisfied and it is otherwise obligated to do so under the Merger Agreement, then, in either such case, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, Avangrid will be required to pay PNMR a termination fee of $184.0 million as the sole and exclusive remedy. Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances involving a breach of the Merger Agreement, either PNMR or Avangrid will be required to reimburse the other party’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses up to $10.0 million (which amount will be credited toward, and offset against, the payment of any applicable termination fee).

Recent Developments

Merger

On October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR, with PNMR surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of PNMR common stock at the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $50.30 in cash.

On April 7, 2022, PNMR and Avangrid filed their Brief in Chief with the NM Supreme Court. Answer briefs are due from the NMPRC on June 13, 2022, and response briefs are due July 6, 2022.

With respect to other regulatory proceedings related to the Merger, in 2021 PNMR received clearances for the Merger from the FTC under the HSR Act, CFIUS, the FCC, FERC, the PUCT, and the NRC.

regulatory filings associated therewith being made. The agreement relating to the divestiture of Four Corners has been entered into and is in full effect and related filings have been made with the NMPRC.

Financial and Business Objectives
PNMR is focused on achieving three key financial objectives:

Earning authorized returns on regulated businesses
Delivering at or above industry-average earnings and dividend growth
Maintaining investment grade credit ratings

In conjunction with these objectives, PNM and TNMP are dedicated to:

Maintaining strong employee safety, plant performance, and system reliability
Delivering a superior customer experience
Demonstrating environmental stewardship in business operations, including transitioning to an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040
Supporting the communities in their service territories

Earning Authorized Returns on Regulated Businesses

PNMR’s success in accomplishing its financial objectives is highly dependent on two key factors: fair and timely regulatory treatment for its utilities and the utilities’ strong operating performance. The Company has multiple strategies to achieve favorable regulatory treatment, all of which have as their foundation a focus on the basics: safety, operational excellence, and customer satisfaction, while engaging stakeholders to build productive relationships. Both PNM and TNMP seek cost recovery for their investments through general rate cases, periodic cost of service filings, and various rate riders.

Fair and timely rate treatment from regulators is crucial to PNM and TNMP in earning their allowed returns and critical for PNMR to achieve its financial objectives. PNMR believes that earning allowed returns is viewed positively by credit rating agencies and that improvements in the Company’s ratings could lower costs to utility customers.

Additional information about rate filings is provided in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

State Regulation

The rates PNM and TNMP charge customers are subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC, FERC, and the PUCT.

2020 Decoupling Petition – On May 28, 2020, PNM filed a petition for approval of a rate adjustment mechanism that would decouple the rates of its residential and small power rate classes. Decoupling is a rate design principle that severs the link between the recovery of fixed costs of the utility through volumetric charges. If approved, customer bills would not be impacted until January 1, 2022. On October 2, 2020, PNM requested an order to vacate the public hearing and stay the proceeding until the NMPRC decides whether to entertain a petition to issue a declaratory order resolving the issues raised in the motions to dismiss. On October 7, 2020, the hearing examiner approved PNM's request to stay the proceeding and vacate the public hearing and on October 30, 2020 PNM filed a petition for declaratory order asking the NMPRC to issue an order finding that full revenue decoupling is authorized by the EUEA. On March 17, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order granting PNM's petition for declaratory order which commences a proceeding to address petitions. Oral arguments were made on July 15, 2021. On January 14, 2022, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending the NMPRC find that the EUEA does not mandate the NMPRC to authorize or approve a full decoupling mechanism, defining full decoupling as limited to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs. The recommended decision also states that a utility may request approval of a rate adjustment mechanism to remove regulatory disincentives to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs through a stand-alone petition, as part of the utility’s triennial energy efficiency application or a general rate case and that PNM is not otherwise precluded from petitioning for a rate adjustment mechanism prior to its next general rate case. Finally, the recommended decision stated that the EUEA does not permit the NMPRC to reduce a utility’s ROE based on approval of a disincentive removal mechanism founded on removing regulatory disincentives to energy efficiency and load management measures and programs. The recommended decision does not specifically prohibit a downward adjustment to a utility’s capital structure, based on approval of a disincentive removal mechanism. On April 27, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order adopting the recommended decision in its entirety. See Note 12. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application - On April 2, 2021, PNM filed the PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application. In the application PNM requested NMPRC authorization to decertify and abandon its Leased Interest and to create regulatory assets for the associated remaining undepreciated investments with consideration of cost
76

Table of Contents
recovery of the undepreciated investments in a future rate case. PNM also sought NMPRC approval to sell and transfer the PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel supply associated with the Leased Interest to SRP, which will be acquiring the Leased Interest from the lessors upon termination of the existing leases. In addition, PNM sought NMPRC approval for a 150 MW solar PPA combined with a 40 MW battery storage agreement, and a stand-alone 100 MW battery storage agreement to replace the Leased Interest. To ensure system reliability and load needs are met in 2023, when a majority of the leases expire, PNM also requested NMPRC approval for a 300 MW solar PPA combined with a 150 MW battery storage agreement. On August 25, 2021, the NMPRC issued an order confirming PNM requires no further NMPRC authority to abandon the PVNGS Leased Interest and to sell and transfer the PNM-owned assets and nuclear fuel supply associated with the Leased Interest to SRP. The order bifurcated the issue of approval of the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements into a separate docket so it may proceed expeditiously and deferred a ruling on the other issues. On February 16, 2022, the NMPRC approved the two PPAs and three battery storage agreements. On April 15, 2022, PNM made a compliance filing with the NMPRC in which it updated the NMPRC on the status of the PPAs and the battery storage agreements listed above. It has been determined that the projects will not be in commercial operation in time for the 2023 summer peak. PNM is conferring with project developers and is unable to predict the outcome of this matter. For additional information on PNM's Leased Interest and the associated abandonment application see Note 12 and Note 13.

Advanced Metering Currently, TNMP has approximately 262,000 advanced meters across its service territory. Beginning in 2019, the majority of costs associated with TNMP’s AMS program are being recovered through base rates. On July 14, 2021, TNMP filed a request with the PUCT to consider and approve its final reconciliation of the costs spent on the deployment of AMS from April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 of $9.0 million, and approve appropriate carrying charges until full collection. On February 10, 2022, the PUCT approved substantially all costs included in TNMP's AMS reconciliation application. On October 2, 2020, TNMP filed an application with the PUCT for authorization to implement necessary technological upgrades of approximately $46 million to its AMS program by November 2022. On January 14, 2021, the PUCT approved TNMP's application. TNMP will seek recovery of the investment associated with the upgrade in a future general rate proceeding or DCOS filing.

Rate Riders and Interim Rate Relief The PUCT has approved mechanisms that allow TNMP to recover capital invested in transmission and distribution projects without having to file a general rate case. The PUCT also approved rate riders that allow TNMP to recover amounts related to energy efficiency and third-party transmission costs. The NMPRC has approved PNM recovering fuel costs through the FPPAC, as well as rate riders for renewable energy, energy efficiency and the TEP. These mechanisms allow for more timely recovery of investments.

FERC Regulation

Rates PNM charges wholesale transmission customers are subject to traditional rate regulation by FERC. Rates charged to wholesale electric transmission customers, other than customers on the Western Spirit Line described below, are based on a formula rate mechanism pursuant to which rates for wholesale transmission service are calculated annually in accordance with an approved formula. The formula includes updating cost of service components, including investment in plant and operating expenses, based on information contained in PNM’s annual financial report filed with FERC, as well as including projected transmission capital projects to be placed into service in the following year. The projections included are subject to true-up. Certain items, including changes to return on equity and depreciation rates, require a separate filing to be made with FERC before being included in the formula rate.

In May 2019, PNM filed an application with FERC requesting approval to purchase and provide transmission service on the Western Spirit Line. All necessary approvals were obtained. In December 2021, PNM completed the purchase of the Western Spirit Line and service under related transmission service agreements was initiated using an incremental rate that is separate from the formula rate mechanism described above.

Delivering At or Above Industry-Average Earnings and Dividend Growth

PNMR’s financial objective to deliver at or above industry-average earnings and dividend growth enables investors to realize the value of their investment in the Company’s business. Earnings growth is based on ongoing earnings, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes from GAAP earnings certain non-recurring, infrequent, and other items that are not indicative of fundamental changes in the earnings capacity of the Company’s operations. PNMR uses ongoing earnings to evaluate the operations of the Company and to establish goals, including those used for certain aspects of incentive compensation, for management and employees.

PNMR targets a dividend payout ratio in the 50% to 60% range of its ongoing earnings. PNMR expects to provide at or above industry-average dividend growth in the near-term. The Board will continue to evaluate the dividend on an annual basis, considering sustainability and growth, capital planning, and industry standards.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, PNMR has agreed not to declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution, payable in cash, stock, property or otherwise, with respect to any of its equity securities, or make any other

actual, constructive or deemed distribution in respect of any equity securities (except (i) PNMR may continue the declaration and payment of planned regular quarterly cash dividends on PNMR common stock for each quarterly period ended after the date of the Merger Agreement, which for any fiscal quarter in 2022 shall not exceed $0.3475, with usual record and payment dates in accordance with past dividend practice, and (ii) for any cash dividend or cash distribution by a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR to PNMR or another wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR).

The Board approved the following increases in the indicated annual common stock dividend:

Approval DatePercent Increase
December 20206.5%
December 20216.1%

Maintaining Investment Grade Credit Ratings

The Company is committed to maintaining investment grade credit ratings in order to reduce the cost of debt financing and to help ensure access to credit markets, when required. On February 10, 2022, Moody's downgraded TNMP's issuer rating from A3 to Baa1 and changed the outlook from negative to stable. See the subheading Liquidity included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources below for the specific credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. All of the credit ratings issued by both Moody’s and S&P on the Company’s debt continue to be investment grade.

Business Focus

To achieve its business objectives, focus is directed in key areas: Safe, Reliable and Affordable Power; Utility Plant and Strategic Investments; Environmentally Responsible Power; and Customer, Stakeholders, and Community Engagement. The Company works closely with its stakeholders to ensure that resource plans and infrastructure investments benefit from robust public dialogue and balance the diverse needs of our communities. Equally important is the focus of PNMR’s utilities on customer satisfaction and community engagement.

Safe, Reliable, and Affordable Power

Safety is the first priority of our business and a core value of the Company. PNMR utilizes a Safety Management System to provide clear direction, objectives and targets for managing safety performance and minimizing risks and empowers employees to "Be the Reason Everyone Goes Home Safe".

PNMR measures reliability and benchmark performance of PNM and TNMP against other utilities using industry-standard metrics, including System Average Interruption Duration Index ("SAIDI") and System Average Interruption Frequency Index ("SAIFI"). PNM's and TNMP's investment plans include projects designed to support reliability and reduce the amount of time customers are without power.

PNMR and its utilities are aware of the important roles they play in enhancing economic vitality in their service territories. Management believes that maintaining strong and modern electric infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and supporting economic growth. When contemplating expanding or relocating their operations, businesses consider energy affordability and reliability to be important factors. PNM and TNMP strive to balance service affordability with infrastructure investment to maintain a high level of electric reliability and to deliver a safe and superior customer experience. Investing in PNM’s and TNMP’s infrastructure is critical to ensuring reliability and meeting future energy needs. Both utilities have long-established records of providing customers with safe and reliable electric service.

The Company continues to closely monitor developments and has taken and continues to take steps to mitigate the potential risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has assessed and updated its existing business continuity plans in response to the impacts of the pandemic through crisis team meetings and working with other utilities and operators. It has identified its critical workforce, staged backups and limited access to control rooms and critical assets. The Company has worked to protect the safety of its employees using a number of measures, including minimizing exposure to other employees and the public and supporting flexible arrangements for all applicable job functions. The Company is also working with its suppliers to manage the impacts to its supply chain and remains focused on the integrity of its information systems and other technology systems used to run its business. However, the Company cannot predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, its effects on the global, national or local economy, or on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19 and will remain focused on protecting the health and safety of its customers, employees, contractors, and other stakeholders, and on its objective to provide safe, reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible power. As discussed in Note 12, both PNM and TNMP suspended disconnecting certain customers for past due bills, waived late fees during the pandemic, and have been provided regulatory mechanisms to recover these and other costs resulting from COVID-19. See additional discussion below regarding the Company's customer, community, and stakeholder engagement in response to COVID-19.

EIM

On April 1, 2021, PNM joined and began participating in the EIM. The EIM is a real-time wholesale energy trading market operated by the CAISO that enables participating electric utilities to buy and sell energy. The EIM aggregates the variability of electricity generation and load for multiple balancing authority areas and utility jurisdictions. In addition, the EIM facilitates greater integration of renewable resources through the aggregation of flexible resources by capturing diversity benefits from the expanding geographic footprint and the expanded potential uses for those resources. PNM completed a cost-benefit analysis, which indicated participation in the EIM would provide substantial benefits to retail customers. In 2018, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC requesting, among other things, to recover initial capital investments and authorization to establish a regulatory asset to recover other expenses that would be incurred in order to join the EIM. The NMPRC approved the establishment of a regulatory asset but deferred certain rate making issues, including but not limited to issues related to implementation and ongoing EIM costs and savings, the prudence and reasonableness of costs to be included in the regulatory asset, and the period over which costs would be charged to customers until PNM’s next general rate case filing. PNM has experienced an aggregate of $15.8 million in cost savings to customers through participation in the EIM, $3.3 million of which has occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Utility Plant and Strategic Investments

Utility Plant Investments – During the 2020 and 2021 periods, PNM and TNMP together invested $1.6 billion in utility plant, including substations, power plants, nuclear fuel, and transmission and distribution systems. New Mexico’s clean energy future depends on a reliable, resilient, secure grid to deliver an evolving mix of energy resources to customers. PNM has launched a capital initiative, which emphasizes new investments in its transmission and distribution infrastructure with three primary objectives: delivering clean energy, enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing grid resilience. Projects are aimed at advancing the infrastructure beyond its original architecture to a more flexible and redundant system accommodating growing amounts of intermittent and distributed generation resources and integrating evolving technologies that provide long-term customer value. See the subheading Capital Requirements included in the full discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional discussion of the Company’s projected capital requirements.

Strategic Investments – In 2017, PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners created NMRD to pursue the acquisition, development, and ownership of renewable energy generation projects, primarily in the state of New Mexico. Abundant renewable resources, large tracts of affordable land, and strong government and community support make New Mexico a favorable location for renewable generation. New Mexico ranks third in the Nation for energy potential from solar power according to the Nebraska Department of Energy & Energy Sun Index and ranks third in the Nation for land-based wind capacity according to the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. PNMR Development and AEP OnSite Partners each have a 50% ownership interest in NMRD. Through NMRD, PNMR anticipates being able to provide additional renewable generation solutions to customers within and surrounding its regulated jurisdictions through partnering with a subsidiary of one of the United States’ largest electric utilities. As of March 31, 2022, NMRD’s renewable energy capacity in operation was 135.1 MW, which includes 130 MW of solar-PV facilities to supply energy to the Meta data center located within PNM’s service territory, 1.9 MW to supply energy to Columbus Electric Cooperative located in southwest New Mexico, 2.0 MW to supply energy to the Central New Mexico Electric Cooperative, and 1.2 MW of solar-PV facilities to supply energy to the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico. In addition, PNM's February 8, 2021 application with the NMPRC for approval to service the Meta data center includes construction of a 50 MW solar facility owned by NMRD, which is expected to be operational in 2023. NMRD actively explores opportunities for additional renewable projects, including large-scale projects to serve future data centers and other customer needs.

Integrated Resource Plan

NMPRC rules require that investor-owned utilities file an IRP every three years. The IRP is required to cover a 20-year planning period and contain an action plan covering the first four years of that period.

NMPRC rules required PNM to file its 2020 IRP in July 2020. In April 2020, the NMPRC approved PNM's request to extend the deadline to file its 2020 IRP until six months after the NMPRC issues a final order approving replacement resources in PNM’s SJGS Abandonment Application. On January 29, 2021, PNM filed its 2020 IRP. The plan focuses on a carbon-free electricity portfolio by 2040 that would eliminate coal at the end of 2024. This includes replacing the power from San Juan with a mix of approved carbon-free resources and the plan to exit Four Corners at the end of 2024. The plan highlights the need for additional investments in a diverse set of resources, including renewables to supply carbon-free power, energy storage to balance supply and demand, and efficiency and other demand-side resources to mitigate load growth. See additional discussion regarding PNM's 2020 IRP filing in Note 12.

Environmentally Responsible Power
PNMR has a long-standing record of environmental stewardship. PNM’s environmental focus is in three key areas:

Developing strategies to provide reliable and affordable power while transitioning to a 100% emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040
Preparing PNM’s system to meet New Mexico’s increasing renewable energy requirements as cost-effectively as possible
Increasing energy efficiency participation

PNMR’s corporate website (www.pnmresources.com) includes a dedicated section providing key environmental and other sustainability information related to PNM’s and TNMP’s operations and other information that collectively demonstrates the Company’s commitment to ESG principles. This information highlights plans for PNM to be coal-free by 2024 (subject to regulatory approval) and to achieve an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040.

In February 2022 PNM named its first Chief Environmental Officer. The Chief Environmental Officer is responsible for developing and implementing the Company’s business strategy and positions on environmental and sustainability policy issues and is charged with establishing organization-wide policies, strategies, goals, objectives and programs that advance sustainability and ensure compliance with regulations. The role serves as the Company’s primary contact with various regulatory and stakeholder agencies on environmental matters. In addition, the role leads environmental justice work, incorporating impacts to tribal, worker and affected communities and advance ESG reporting.

On September 21, 2020, PNM announced an agreement to partner with Sandia National Laboratories in research and development projects focused on energy resiliency, clean energy, and national security. The partnership demonstrates PNMR's commitment to ESG principles and its support of projects that further its emissions-free generation goals and plans for a reliable, resilient, and secure grid to deliver New Mexico's clean energy future.

The Energy Transition Act (“ETA”)

On June 14, 2019, Senate Bill 489, known as the ETA, became effective. The ETA amends the REA and requires utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 20% by 2020, 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. The ETA also amends sections of the REA to allow for the recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA provides for a transition from fossil-fueled generating resources to renewable and other carbon-free resources by allowing utilities to issue securitized bonds, or “energy transition bonds,” related to the retirement of certain coal-fired generating facilities to qualified investors. See additional discussion of the ETA in Note 11 and in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

PNM expects the ETA will have a significant impact on PNM’s future generation portfolio, including PNM’s planned retirement of SJGS in 2022 and the planned Four Corners exit in 2024. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA on potential future generating resource abandonment and replacement filings with the NMPRC.

SJGS Abandonment Application – As discussed in Note 12, on July 1, 2019, PNM filed a Consolidated Application for the Abandonment and Replacement of SJGS and Related Securitized Financing Pursuant to the ETA (the “SJGS Abandonment Application”). The SJGS Abandonment Application sought NMPRC approval to retire PNM’s share of SJGS in mid-2022, and for approval of replacement resources and the issuance of approximately $361 million of Securitized Bonds as provided by the ETA. The application included several replacement resource scenarios including PNM's recommended replacement scenario, which is consistent with PNM's goal of having a 100% emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040 and would have provided cost savings to customers while preserving system reliability.

The NMPRC issued an order requiring the SJGS Abandonment Application be considered in two proceedings: one addressing SJGS abandonment and related financing and the other addressing replacement resources but did not definitively indicate if the abandonment and financing proceedings would be evaluated under the requirements of the ETA. After several requests for clarification and legal challenges, in January 2020, the NM Supreme Court ruled the NMPRC is required to apply the ETA to all aspects of PNM’s SJGS Abandonment Application, and that any previous NMPRC orders inconsistent with their ruling should be vacated.

In February 2020, the hearing examiners issued two recommended decisions recommending approval of PNM’s proposed abandonment of SJGS, subject to approval of the separate replacement resources proceeding, and approval of PNM’s proposed financing order to issue Securitized Bonds.  The hearing examiners recommended, among other things, that PNM be authorized to abandon SJGS by June 30, 2022, to issue Securitized Bonds of up to $361 million, and to establish the Energy Transition Charge. The hearing examiners recommended an interim rate rider adjustment upon the start date of the Energy
80

Table of Contents
Transition Charge to provide immediate credits to customers for the full value of PNM’s revenue requirement related to SJGS until those reductions are reflected in base rates. In addition, the hearing examiners recommended PNM be granted authority to establish regulatory assets to recover costs that PNM will pay prior to the issuance of the Securitized Bonds, including costs associated with the bond issuances as well as for severances, job training, and economic development funds. On April 1, 2020, the NMPRC unanimously approved the hearing examiners' recommended decisions regarding the abandonment of SJGS and the Securitized Bonds. On April 10, 2020, CFRE and NEE filed a notice of appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC's approval of PNM's request to issue securitized financing under the ETA. On January 10, 2022, the NM Supreme Court issued its decision rejecting CFRE's and NEE's constitutional challenges to the ETA and affirmed the NMPRC's final order.

On June 24, 2020, the hearing examiners issued a second recommended decision on PNM's request for approval of replacement resources that addressed the entire portfolio of replacement resources. On July 29, 2020, the NMPRC issued an order approving resource selection criteria identified in the ETA that include PPA's for 650 MW of solar and 300 MW of battery storage. Throughout 2021 and continuing into 2022, PNM provided notices of delays and status updates to the NMPRC for the approved SJGS replacement resource projects. All four project developers have notified PNM that completion of the projects will be delayed and no longer available for the 2022 summer peak and some may also not be available for the 2023 summer peak. The delays in the SJGS replacement resources, coupled with the abandonment of SJGS Units 1 and 4, present a risk that PNM will have insufficient operational resources to meet the 2022 summer peak to reliably serve its customers. PNM entered into three agreements to purchase power from third parties in the second half of 2021 to minimize potential impacts to customers and on February 17, 2022, PNM provided a notice and request with the NMPRC that PNM had obtained agreement from the SJGS owners and WSJ LLC to extend operation of Unit 4 until September 30, 2022. SJGS Unit 4 is expected to provide 327 MW of capacity and improve PNM’s projected system reserve margin to meet the 2022 summer peak. However, given the most recent force majeure notice described in Note 11, PNM does not know whether reduced levels of coal inventory may continue until normal conditions recur in the longwall panel or whether the period of non-normal conditions will impact full load operations through the remainder of the CSA and the projected system reserve margin for the 2022 summer peak. On February 23, 2022, the NMPRC issued an order finding that PNM did not require NMPRC approval to extend operation of SJGS Unit 4 for an additional three-month period. On March 24, 2022 FERC accepted the amended San Juan Project Participation Agreement, effectively extending the operations of SJGS Unit 4 through September 30, 2022.

On February 28, 2022, WRA and CCAE filed a Joint Motion for Order to Show Cause and Enforce Financing Order and Supporting Brief, which requests that the NMPRC order PNM to show cause why its rates should not be reduced at the time SJGS is abandoned, and to otherwise enforce the NMPRC’s April 1, 2020 final order. On March 14, 2022, PNM filed its response to the Joint Motion to Show Cause refuting the movants' claims that the ETA and April 1, 2020 Financing Order require energy transition bonds be issued at the time of abandonment and that rates be reduced upon abandonment as not being legally supportable. The movants' filed joint replies on March 24, 2022. In response, on March 30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an Order appointing hearing examiners to conduct a hearing, if necessary, and to issue a recommended decision to address the issues raised by the motion. The Order also states that the hearing examiners should endeavor to issue a recommended decision with sufficient time for consideration of exceptions and for the NMPRC to be able to take action prior to June 30, 2022. PNM filed testimony on April 20, 2022 and a hearing is scheduled to begin on May 23, 2022. PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

See additional discussion of the ETA and PNM’s San Juan Abandonment Application in Notes 11 and 12.

Four Corners Abandonment Application - On January 8, 2021, PNM filed the Four Corners Abandonment Application, which seeks NMPRC approval to exit PNM’s 13% share of Four Corners as of December 31, 2024, and issuance of approximately $300 million of energy transition bonds as provided by the ETA. As ordered by the hearing examiner in the case, PNM filed an amended application and testimony on March 15, 2021. The amended application provided additional information to support PNM's request, provided background on the NMPRC's consideration of the prudence of PNM's investment in Four Corners in the NM 2016 Rate Case and explained how the proposed sale and abandonment provides a net public benefit. On December 15, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order denying approval of the Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance of securitized financing. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC decision to deny the application. See additional discussion of the ETA and PNM’s Four Corners Abandonment Application in Notes 11 and 12.

PNM enhanced its plan to exit Four Corners and emphasized its ESG strategy to reduce carbon emissions on March 12, 2021 with an announcement for additional plans for seasonal operations at Four Corners beginning in the fall of 2023, subject to the necessary approvals. The solution for seasonal operations ensures the plant will be available to serve each owners' customer needs during times of peak energy use while minimizing operations during periods of low demand. This approach results in an estimated annual 20 to 25 percent reduction in carbon emissions at the plant and retains jobs and royalty payments for the Navajo Nation.

PNM Solar Direct

In 2019, PNM filed an application with the NMPRC for approval of a program under which qualified governmental and large commercial customers could participate in a voluntary renewable energy procurement program. PNM proposed to recover costs of the program directly from subscribing customers through a rate rider. Under the rider, PNM would procure renewable energy from 50 MW of solar-PV facilities under a 15-year PPA. PNM had fully subscribed the entire output of the 50 MW facilities at the time of the filing. In March 2020, the hearing examiner issued a recommended decision recommending approval of PNM’s application that was subsequently approved by the NMPRC. These facilities are expected to begin commercial operations in the second quarter of 2022.

The Community Solar Act

On June 18, 2021, Senate Bill 84, known as the Community Solar Act, became effective. The Community Solar Act establishes a program that allows for the development of community solar facilities and provides customers of a qualifying utility with the option of accessing solar energy produced by a community solar facility in accordance with the Community Solar Act. The NMPRC is charged with administering the Community Solar Act program, establishing a total maximum capacity of 200 MW community solar facilities (applicable until November 2024) and allocating proportionally to the New Mexico electric investor-owned utilities and participating cooperatives. As required under the Community Solar Act, the NMPRC opened a docket on May 12, 2021, to adopt rules to establish a community solar program no later than April 1, 2022. On March 30, 2022, the NMPRC issued an Order that adopted a rule on the administration of the Community Solar Act program. The rule requires utilities to file proposed community solar tariffs with the NMPRC within 60 days from the publication of the rule. See Note 12.

Electric Vehicles

PNMR is building upon its ESG goal of 100% emissions-free generation by 2040 with plans for additional emissions reductions through the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Growing the number of electric vehicles within the Company's fleet will benefit the environment and lower fuel costs furthering the commitment to ESG principles. Under the commitment, existing fleet vehicles will be replaced as they are retired with an increasing percentage of electric vehicles. The new goals call for 25% of all light duty fleet purchases to be electric by 2025 and 50% to be electric by 2030.

To demonstrate PNMR’s commitment to increase the electrification of vehicles in its service territory, PNM filed a TEP with the NMPRC on December 18, 2020. The TEP supports customer adoption of electric vehicles by focusing on addressing the barriers to electric vehicle adoption and encourage use. PNM’s proposed program budget will be dedicated to low and moderate income customers by providing rebates to both residential and non-residential customers towards the purchase of chargers and/or behind-the-meter infrastructure. On November 10, 2021, the NMPRC issued a final order approving PNM's TEP. See Note 12.

In December 2021, PNM announced that it will be joining the National Electric Highway Coalition, which plans to build fast-charging ports along major U.S. travel corridors. The coalition, with approximately 50 investor-owned electric companies is committed to providing electric vehicle (EV) fast charging ports that will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence throughout the country’s major roadways by the end of 2023.

Other Environmental Matters

Four Corners may be required to comply with environmental rules that affect coal-fired generating units, including regional haze rules and the ETA. On June 19, 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines issued under the CAA Section 111(d). On January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion vacating and remanding the ACE Rule, holding that it was based on a misconstruction of Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, but stayed its mandate for vacatur of the repeal of the Clean Power Plan to ensure that the now-outdated rule would not become effective. The U.S. Supreme Court granted four petitions for certiorari seeking review of the DC Circuit’s decision, and oral arguments in the case were held on February 28, 2022. A decision is expected in June 2022. In addition, on January 27, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring a review of environmental regulations issued under the Trump Administration, which will include a review of the ACE rule.

Renewable Energy

PNM’s renewable procurement strategy includes utility-owned solar capacity, as well as solar, wind and geothermal energy purchased under PPAs. As of March 31, 2022, PNM has 158 MW of utility-owned solar capacity in operation. In addition, PNM purchases power from a customer-owned distributed solar generation program that had an installed capacity of 211.8 MW at March 31, 2022. PNM also owns the 500 KW PNM Prosperity Energy Storage Project. The project was one of the first combinations of battery storage and solar-PV energy in the nation and involved extensive research and development of advanced grid concepts. The facility also was the nation’s first solar storage facility fully integrated into a utility’s power grid.

Table of Contents
PNM also purchases the output from New Mexico Wind, a 200 MW wind facility, and the output of Red Mesa Wind, an existing 102 MW wind energy center. PNM's 2020 renewable energy procurement plan was approved by the NMPRC in January 2020 and includes a PPA to procure 140 MW of renewable energy and RECs from La Joya Wind II that became operational in June 2021. The NMPRC approved the portfolio to replace the planned retirement of SJGS resulting in PNM executing solar PPAs of 650 MW combined with 300 MW of battery storage agreements. In addition, the PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application approved by the NMPRC includes solar PPAs of 450 MW combined with 290 MW of battery storage agreements. The majority of these renewable resources are key means for PNM to meet the RPS and related regulations that require PNM to achieve prescribed levels of energy sales from renewable sources, including those set by the recently enacted ETA, without exceeding cost requirements. See additional discussion of the ETA and PNM’s San Juan Abandonment Application in Notes 11 and 12

As discussed in Strategic Investments above, PNM is currently purchasing the output of 130 MW of solar capacity from NMRD that is used to serve the Meta data center which includes two 25-year PPAs to purchase renewable energy and RECs from an aggregate of approximately 100 MW of capacity from two solar-PV facilities constructed by NMRD to supply power to Meta, Inc. The first 50 MW of these facilities began commercial operations in November 2019 and the second 50 MW facility began commercial operations in July 2020. Additionally, PNM has entered into three separate 25-year PPAs to purchase renewable energy and RECs to be used by PNM to supply additional renewable power to the Meta data center. These PPAs include the purchase of power and RECs from a 50 MW wind project, which was placed in commercial operation in November 2018, a 166 MW wind project which became operational in February 2021, and a 50 MW solar-PV project expected to be operational in 2022. In addition, the NMPRC issued an order that will allow PNM to service the Meta data center for an additional 190 MW of solar PPA combined with 50 MW of battery storage and a 50 MW solar PPA expected to be operational in 2023. See Note 12.

PNM will continue to procure renewable resources while balancing the impact to customers’ electricity costs in order to meet New Mexico’s escalating RPS and carbon-free resource requirements.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency plays a significant role in helping to keep customers’ electricity costs low while meeting their energy needs and is one of the Company’s approaches to supporting environmentally responsible power. PNM’s and TNMP’s energy efficiency and load management portfolios continue to achieve robust results. In 2021, incremental energy saved as a result of new participation in PNM’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs was 107 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 12,689 homes in PNM’s service territory. PNM’s load management and annual energy efficiency programs also help lower peak demand requirements. In 2021, TNMP’s incremental energy saved as a result of new participation in TNMP’s energy efficiency programs is estimated to be approximately 19 GWh. This is equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 2,469 homes in TNMP’s service territory. TNMP’s High-Performance Homes residential new construction energy efficiency program was honored for the sixth year in a row by ENERGY STAR. This recognition includes the program’s fourth straight Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award. For information on PNM's and TNMP's energy efficiency filing with the NMPRC and PUCT see Note 12.

Water Conservation and Solid Waste Reduction

PNM continues its efforts to reduce the amount of fresh water used to make electricity (about 35% more efficient than in 2007). Continued growth in PNM’s fleet of solar and wind energy sources, energy efficiency programs, and innovative uses of gray water and air-cooling technology have contributed to this reduction. Water usage has continued to decline as PNM has substituted less fresh-water-intensive generation resources to replace SJGS Units 2 and 3 starting in 2018, as water consumption at that plant has been reduced by approximately 50%. As the Company moves forward with its mission to achieve 100% carbon-free generation by 2040, it expects that more significant water savings will be gained. PNM has set a goal to reduce freshwater use 80% by 2035 and 90% by 2040 from 2005 levels. Focusing on responsible stewardship of New Mexico’s scarce water resources improves PNM’s water-resilience in the face of persistent drought and ever-increasing demands for water to spur the growth of New Mexico’s economy.

In addition to the above areas of focus, the Company is working to reduce the amount of solid waste going to landfills through increased recycling and reduction of waste. In 2021, 18 of the Company’s 23 facilities met the solid waste diversion goal of a 65% diversion rate. The Company expects to continue to do well in this area in the future.

Customer, Stakeholder, and Community Engagement

Another key element of the Company’s commitment to ESG principles is fostering relationships with its customers, stakeholders, and communities. The Company strives to deliver a superior customer experience. Through outreach, collaboration, and various community-oriented programs, the Company has demonstrated a commitment to building productive relationships with stakeholders, including customers, community partners, regulators, intervenors, legislators, and shareholders. In December 2021, PNMR was named, for the second consecutive year, to Newsweek's list of America's Most Responsible
83

Table of Contents
Companies highlighting companies in areas of ESG. PNM continues to focus its efforts to enhance the customer experience through customer service improvements, including enhanced customer service engagement options, strategic customer outreach, and improved communications. These efforts are supported by market research to understand the varying needs of customers, identifying and establishing valued services and programs, and proactively communicating and engaging with customers. As a result, PNM continues to experience steady performance in customer satisfaction in both the J.D. Power Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction StudySM and its own proprietary relationship surveys. In the 2021 fourth quarter J.D. Power overall customer satisfaction results, PNM outperformed the West Midsize industry average by one point.

The Company has leveraged a number of communications channels and strategic content to better serve and engage its many stakeholders. PNM’s website www.pnm.com, provides the details of major regulatory filings, including general rate requests, as well as the background on PNM’s efforts to maintain reliability, keep prices affordable, and protect the environment. The Company’s website is also a resource for information about PNM’s operations and community outreach efforts, including plans for building a sustainable energy future for New Mexico and to transition to an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040. PNM has also leveraged social media in communications with customers on various topics such as education, outage alerts, safety, customer service, and PNM’s community partnerships in philanthropic projects. As discussed above, PNMR's corporate website, www.pnmresources.com, includes a dedicated section providing additional information regarding the Company’s commitment to ESG principles and other sustainability efforts.

With reliability being the primary role of a transmission and distribution service provider in Texas’ deregulated market, TNMP continues to focus on keeping end-users updated about interruptions and to encourage consumer preparation when severe weather is forecasted. In the third quarter of 2021, TNMP provided a 30-person team in support of another utility that experienced significant damage to their transmission and distribution system as a result of Hurricane Ida. TNMP has been honored by the Edison Electric Institute four times since 2012 for its assistance to out-of-state utilities affected by hurricanes. TNMP has also been honored twice for hurricane response in its own territory.

Local relationships and one-on-one communications remain two of the most valuable ways both PNM and TNMP connect with their stakeholders. Both companies maintain long-standing relationships with governmental representatives and key electricity consumers to ensure that these stakeholders are updated on Company investments and initiatives. Key electricity consumers also have dedicated Company contacts that support their important service needs.

Another demonstration of the Company's commitment to ESG principles is the Company’s tradition of supporting the communities it serves in New Mexico and Texas. This support extends beyond corporate giving and financial donations from the PNM Resources Foundation to also include collaborations on community projects, customer low-income assistance programs, and employee volunteerism. In response to COVID-19, additional efforts were made in each of these areas and exhibit the Company’s core value of caring for its customers and communities.

During the three years ending December 31, 2021, corporate giving contributed $10.4 million to civic, educational, environmental, low income, and economic development organizations. PNMR recognizes its responsibility to support programs and organizations that enrich the quality of life across its service territories and seeks opportunities to further demonstrate its commitment in these areas as needs arise. In response to COVID-19 community needs, PNMR donated to an Emergency Action Fund in partnership with key local agencies to benefit approximately ninety nonprofits and small businesses facing challenges due to lack of technology, shifting service needs, and cancelled fundraising events. Additionally, employee teams have supported first responders and other front-line workers through the delivery of food and other supplies often procured from local businesses struggling during stay-at-home orders. PNM also donated to the Pueblo Relief Fund and delivered personal protective supplies to pueblo areas and tribal nations throughout New Mexico. While its service territory does not include the Navajo Nation, PNM’s operations include generating facilities and employees in this region that has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. In response, employee teams focused efforts to this region and also provided available supplies of personal protective equipment. PNM has also collaborated with the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority Wireless ("NTUAW") to set up wireless “hot spots” throughout the Navajo Nation in areas without internet access to assist first responders and support continued education opportunities amidst school closures. These actions supplement PNM’s continued support for the Navajo Nation. The PNM Navajo Nation Workforce Training Scholarship Program provides support for Navajo tribal members and encourages the pursuit of education and training in existing and emerging jobs in the communities in which they live. In 2019, PNM invested an additional $500,000 into this scholarship program to further assist in the development and education of the Navajo Nation workforce. PNM has invested in paid summer college engineering internship programs for American Indian students available in the greater Albuquerque area, established the PNM Pueblo Education Scholarship Endowment to invest in higher education for Native American Indian students, and supported the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. PNM also continues to partner in the Light up Navajo project, piloted in 2019 and modeled after mutual aid to connect homes without electricity to the power grid. In a more active role in 2021, PNM also partnered with key local organizations to initiate funding for programs focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Another important outreach program is tailored for low-income customers and includes the PNM Good Neighbor Fund to provide customer assistance with their electric utility bills. COVID-19 has increased the needs of these customers along with customers who may not otherwise need to seek assistance. In addition to the suspension of residential customer disconnections
84

Table of Contents
from April 2020 through August 2021 and the expansion of customer payment plans, PNM responded with increased communications through media outlets and customer outreach to connect customers with nonprofit community service providers offering financial assistance, food, clothing, medical programs, and services for seniors. As a result of these communication efforts, 4,147 families in need received emergency assistance through the PNM Good Neighbor Fund during 2021. Additionally, PNM has worked closely with the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration to implement strategies ensuring customers receive rent benefits, including utility bill assistance, from the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (“ERAP”). As a result of these efforts, the ERAP has paid over $6 million in customer arrears since the launch of the program in March 2021.

Additionally, as a part of corporate giving, on October 1, 2020, PNM introduced $2.0 million in funding for new COVID Customer Relief Programs to support income-qualified residential customers and small business customers who have been impacted by the financial challenges created by COVID-19 and have past due electric bills. Qualified customers that pay a portion of their past-due balance can receive assistance toward their remaining balance.

Volunteerism is also an important facet of employee culture, keeping our communities safer, stronger, smarter and more vibrant. In 2021, new programs were launched to provide employees with COVID-safe projects through virtual, hybrid, and limited group gatherings. Employees and nonprofits remained resilient, creative, and innovative and responded to community need and selflessly gave their time and talents to organizations throughout New Mexico and Texas completing 8,741 volunteer hours with nonprofits and other community organizations. Volunteers also participate in a company-wide annual Day of Service at nonprofits across New Mexico and Texas along with participation on a variety of nonprofit boards and independent volunteer activities throughout the year. In addition, the Company facilitated employee and customer Earth Day cleanups across PNM’s service territory resulting in over 2,200 gallons of trash collected.

In addition to the extensive engagement both PNM and TNMP have with nonprofit organizations in their communities, the PNM Resources Foundation provides nearly $1.6 million in grant funding each year across New Mexico and Texas. These grants help nonprofits innovate or sustain programs to grow and develop business, develop and implement environmental programs, and provide educational opportunities. Beginning in 2020, the PNM Resources Foundation is funding grants with a three-year focus on decreasing homelessness, increasing access to affordable housing, reducing carbon emissions, and increasing community safety with an emphasis on COVID-19 programs. As part of this emphasis, $0.5 million is awarded annually to nonprofits in New Mexico and Texas to assist with work being done on the front lines of the pandemic for community safety, with a focus on helping senior citizens and people currently experiencing homelessness during the shelter-in-place directives. The PNM Resources Foundation continued to expand its matching donation program to offer 2-to-1 matching on employee donations made to social justice nonprofits and increased the annual amount of matching donations available to each of its employees. PNM Resources Foundation awarded $0.3 million of additional grants to non-profits supporting TNMP communities following the winter storm in February 2021.

Economic Factors

PNM In the three months ended March 31, 2022, PNM experienced a decrease in weather normalized residential load of 5.0%, more than offset by an increase in weather normalized commercial load of 5.4% compared to 2021, largely returning to pre-COVID-19 levels. In addition, PNM experienced an increase in industrial load of 8.1%.

TNMP In the three months ended March 31, 2022, TNMP experienced an increase in volumetric weather normalized retail load of 1.2% compared to 2021. Weather normalized demand-based load, excluding retail transmission consumers increased 3.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 2021.

Although the Company has experienced signs of recovery from state restrictions related to COVID-19, it is unable to determine the duration or final impacts from COVID-19 as discussed in more detail in Item 1A Risk Factors of the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is also closely monitoring the impacts on the capital markets of other macroeconomic conditions, including actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflationary concerns or other market conditions, and geopolitical activity. The Company has not experienced, nor does it expect significant negative impacts to customer usage at PNM and TNMP resulting from these economic impacts. However, if current economic conditions worsen, the Company may be required to implement additional measures such as reducing or delaying operating and maintenance expenses and planned capital expenditures.

Results of Operations

Net earnings attributable to PNMR were $16.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $17.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted share in 2021. Among other things, earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2022 benefited from higher weather normalized retail load at PNM, higher volumetric and demand-based load at TNMP, colder weather conditions at PNM and TNMP, higher transmission margin at PNM and TNMP, higher distribution rates at TNMP, lower plant maintenance costs at PNM, AMS carrying charges at TNMP, lower interest expense at Corporate and Other, and lower costs related to the Merger at Corporate and Other. These increases were offset by decreased performance on

PNM's NDT and coal mine reclamation investment securities, increased operational and maintenance expense, including higher employee related and outside service expense at PNM and TNMP, increased depreciation and property taxes at PNM and TNMP due to increased plant in service, and higher interest charges at PNM and TNMP. Additional information on factors impacting results of operations for each segment is discussed below under Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

PNMR and PNM have revolving credit facilities with capacities of $300.0 million and $400.0 million that currently expire in October 2023. Both facilities provide for short-term borrowings and letters of credit and can be extended through October 2024, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. In addition, PNM has a $40.0 million revolving credit facility with banks having a significant presence in New Mexico that expires in December 2022, and TNMP has a $75.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in September 2024 and contains two one-year extension options, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. Total availability for PNMR on a consolidated basis was $705.5 million at April 21, 2022. The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. PNMR also has intercompany loan agreements with each of its subsidiaries.

PNMR projects that its consolidated capital requirements, consisting of construction expenditures and dividends, will total $4.8 billion for 2022 - 2026, including amounts expended through March 31, 2022. These construction expenditures include expenditures for PNM’s capital initiative that includes investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver clean energy, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase grid resilience.

To fund capital spending requirements to meet growth that balances earnings goals, credit metrics and liquidity needs, the Company has entered into a number of other financing arrangements. A complete listing of current financing arrangements is contained in Note 9 and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

After considering the effects of these financings and the Company's short-term liquidity position as of April 21, 2022, the Company has consolidated maturities of long-term and short-term debt aggregating approximately $285.6 million through April 2023. In addition to internal cash generation, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing in the form of debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity in order to fund its capital requirements during the 2022-2026 period. The Company currently believes that its internal cash generation, existing credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2022 and April 21, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Segment Information

The following discussion is based on the segment methodology that PNMR’s management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities. See Note 2 for more information on PNMR’s operating segments.

PNM

PNM defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy, which consists primarily of fuel and purchase power costs. PNM believes that utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating operations than electric operating revenues since substantially all fuel and purchase power costs are offset in revenues as those costs are passed through to customers under PNM’s FPPAC. Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be presented and is considered a non-GAAP measure.

TNMP defines utility margin as electric operating revenues less cost of energy, which consists of costs charged by third-party transmission providers. TNMP believes that utility margin provides a more meaningful basis for evaluating operations than electric operating revenues since all third-party transmission costs are passed on to consumers through a transmission cost recovery factor. Utility margin is not a financial measure required to be presented and is considered a non-GAAP measure.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The changes in PNMR’s cash flows from financing activities include:

Short-term borrowings increased $23.3 million in 2022 compared to an increase of $165.5 million in 2021, resulting in a net decrease in cash flows from financing activities of $142.2 million
In 2022, PNMR borrowed the remaining $100.0 million available under the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan

Financing Activities

See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Note 9 for additional information concerning the Company’s financing activities. 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.

The Company’s ability to access the credit and capital markets at a reasonable cost is largely dependent upon its:

Ability to earn a fair return on equity
Results of operations
Ability to obtain required regulatory approvals
Conditions in the financial markets
Credit ratings

The Company is continuing to closely monitor developments and is taking steps to mitigate the potential risks related to COVID-19. The Company is also closely monitoring the impacts on the capital markets of other macroeconomic conditions, including actions by the Federal Reserve to address inflationary concern or other market conditions, and geopolitical activity. The Company currently believes it has adequate liquidity but cannot predict the extent or duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, the effects of any of these macroeconomic conditions on the global, national or local economy, including the Company's ability to access capital in the financial markets, or on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Each of the Company’s revolving credit facilities and term loans contain a single financial covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio. For the PNMR 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
93

Table of Contents
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. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants.

On May 18, 2021, PNMR entered into the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan, among PNMR, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. In 2021, PNMR drew $900.0 million to repay and terminate existing indebtedness as discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K. On January 24, 2022, PNMR drew the remaining $100.0 million available. Draws on the PNMR 2021 Delayed-Draw Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate, which was 1.29% at March 31, 2022, and mature on May 18, 2023.

On April 27, 2022 TNMP entered into the TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement with institutional investors for the sale of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of two series of the TNMP 2022 Bonds offered in private placement transactions. TNMP will issue the first series of $65.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds on May 12, 2022, at a 4.13% interest rate, due May 12, 2052, and the second series of $95.0 million of the TNMP 2022 Bonds will be issued on or before July 28, 2022, at a 3.81% interest rate, due July 28, 2032. The proceeds will be used to repay borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and for other corporate purposes. The TNMP 2022 Bonds are subject to continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds. The terms of the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds include the customary covenants discussed above. In the event of a change of control, TNMP will be required to offer to prepay the TNMP 2022 Bonds at par. However, the definition of change of control in the supplemental indenture governing the TNMP 2022 Bonds will not be triggered by the close of the Merger. TNMP has the right to redeem any or all of the TNMP 2022 Bonds prior to their maturity, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium.

Capital Requirements

PNMR’s total capital requirements consist of construction expenditures, cash dividend requirements for PNMR common stock and PNM preferred stock.

Key activities in PNMR’s current construction program include:

Investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure
Upgrading generation resources and delivering clean energy
Purchasing nuclear fuel

Projected capital requirements, including amounts expended through March 31, 2022, are:
 20222023-2026Total

Total capital requirements$1,015.4 $3,775.2 $4,790.6 

The construction expenditure estimates are under continuing review and subject to ongoing adjustment, as well as to Board review and approval. The construction expenditures above include amounts for PNM’s capital initiative that includes investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to deliver clean energy, enhance customer satisfaction, and increase grid resilience. Not included in the table above are incremental expenditures for new customer growth in New Mexico and Texas, and other transmission and renewable energy expansion in New Mexico. The ability of PNMR to pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon the ability of PNM and TNMP to pay dividends to PNMR. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K for a discussion of regulatory and contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends by PNM and TNMP.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, PNMR met its capital requirements and construction expenditures through cash generated from operations, as well as its liquidity arrangements and the borrowings discussed in Financing Activities above.
In addition to the capital requirements for construction expenditures and dividends, the Company has long-term debt and term loans that must be paid or refinanced at maturity. PNM has $104.5 million of PCRBs that must be refinanced, repriced or redeemed in June 2022 and the PNM 2021 $75.0 million Term Loan matures in December 2022. See Note 9 for additional information about the Company’s long-term debt and equity arrangements. The Company may also enter into new arrangements similar to the existing agreements, borrow under the revolving credit facilities, or issue new long-term debt or equity in the public or private capital markets, or a combination of these sources. The Company has from time to time
94

Table of Contents
refinanced or repurchased portions of its outstanding debt before scheduled maturity. Depending on market conditions, the Company may refinance other debt issuances or make additional debt repurchases in the future.

Liquidity

PNMR’s liquidity arrangements include the $300.0 million PNMR Revolving Credit Facility, the $400.0 million PNM Revolving Credit Facility, and the $75.0 million TNMP Revolving Credit Facility. The PNMR and PNM facilities currently expire in October 2023 but can be extended through October 2024, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. The $75.0 million TNMP Revolving Credit Facility matures in September 2024 and contains two one-year extension options, subject to approval by a majority of the lenders. In addition, the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility contains an accordion feature which allows TNMP to increase the size of the credit facility from $75.0 million to up to $100.0 million, subject to certain conditions. PNM also has the $40.0 million PNM 2017 New Mexico Credit Facility that expires in December 2022. The Company believes the terms and conditions of these facilities are consistent with those of other investment grade revolving credit facilities in the utility industry.  Variable interest rates under the PNMR and PNM facilities are based on LIBOR but contain provisions which allow for the replacement of LIBOR with other widely accepted interest rates. Variable interest rates under the TNMP facility are based on SOFR. The Company expects that it will be able to extend or replace these credit facilities under similar terms and conditions prior to their expirations.

The revolving credit facilities and the PNM 2017 New Mexico Credit Facility provide short-term borrowing capacity. The revolving credit facilities also allow letters of credit to be issued. Letters of credit reduce the available capacity under the facilities. The Company utilizes these credit facilities and cash flows from operations to provide funds for both construction and operational expenditures. The Company’s business is seasonal with more revenues and cash flows from operations being generated in the summer months. In general, the Company relies on the credit facilities to be the initial funding source for construction expenditures. Accordingly, borrowings under the facilities may increase over time. Depending on market and other conditions, the Company will periodically sell long-term debt and use the proceeds to reduce the borrowings under the credit facilities or refinance other debt.

Information regarding the range of borrowings for each facility is as follows:

PNM Revolving Credit Facility$— $18.6 
PNM 2017 New Mexico Credit Facility— —

At March 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rates were 1.70% for the PNM Revolving Credit Facility, 1.25% for the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, and 1.95% for the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility. There were no borrowings outstanding under the PNM 2017 New Mexico Revolving Credit Facility at March 31, 2022.

The Company currently believes that its capital requirements for at least the next twelve months can be met through internal cash generation, existing, extended, or new credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets as discussed above and in Note 9. The Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing to fund its capital requirements and to balance its capital structure during the 2022-2026 period, including interim financing to fund construction of replacement resources prior to the issuance of the Securitized Bonds included in PNM's SJGS Abandonment Application. This could include new debt and/or equity issuances. To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of internal cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to use short-term borrowings under its current and future liquidity arrangements or other short-term loans. Market conditions, such as rising interest rates, may raise the cost of borrowing under the Company's current and future liquidity arrangements or other variable debt. In addition, if market conditions worsen, the Company may not be able to access the capital markets or renew credit facilities when they expire. Should that occur, the Company would seek to improve cash flows by reducing capital expenditures and exploring other available alternatives.

In addition to the above, PNMR has $30.3 million of letters of credit issued under the WFB LOC Facility. See Note 9. The above table excludes intercompany debt. As of April 21, 2022, PNM and PNMR Development had no borrowings from PNMR under their intercompany loan agreements. However, TNMP had $30.2 million in intercompany borrowings from PNMR. PNMR had $6.3 million in intercompany borrowings from PNMR Development. The remaining availability under the revolving credit facilities at any point in time varies based on a number of factors, including the timing of collections of accounts receivables and payments for construction and operating expenditures.

On March 2, 2022, PNMR filed a shelf registration that provides for the issuance of various types of debt and equity securities. The PNMR shelf registration statement expires March 2025. PNM has a shelf registration statement for up to $650.0 million of senior unsecured notes that expires in May 2023.

Other Material Cash Requirements

PNMR, PNM, and TNMP have contractual obligations for long-term debt, minimum lease payments, coal contracts, coal mine reclamation, nuclear decommissioning, SJGS plant decommissioning, pension and retiree medical contributions, and certain other long-term obligations. See MD&A – Other Material Cash Requirements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations

As discussed in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, PNMR, PNM, and TNMP have a number of debt obligations and other contractual commitments that contain contingent provisions. Some of these, if triggered, could affect the liquidity of the Company. In the unlikely event that the contingent requirements were to be triggered, PNMR, PNM, or TNMP could be required to provide security, immediately pay outstanding obligations, or be prevented from drawing on unused capacity under certain credit agreements. The contingent provisions also include contractual increases in the interest rate charged on certain of the Company’s short-term debt obligations in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings. The Company believes its financing arrangements are sufficient to meet the requirements of the contingent provisions. No conditions have occurred that would result in any of the above contingent provisions being implemented.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY
Climate Change Issues

Background

For the past several years, management has identified multiple risks and opportunities related to climate change, including potential environmental regulation, technological innovation, and availability of fuel and water for operations, as among the most significant risks facing the Company. Accordingly, these risks are overseen by the Board in order to facilitate more integrated risk and strategy oversight and planning. Board oversight includes understanding the various challenges and opportunities presented by these risks, including the financial consequences that might result from enacted and potential federal and/or state regulation of GHG; plans to mitigate these risks; and the impacts these risks may have on the Company’s strategy. In addition, the Board approves certain procurements of environmental equipment, grid modernization technologies, and replacement resources.

Management is also responsible for assessing significant risks, developing and executing appropriate responses, and reporting to the Board on the status of risk activities. For example, management periodically updates the Board on the implementation of corporate environmental policy, and the Company’s environmental management systems, including the promotion of energy efficiency programs, and the use of renewable resources.  The Board is also informed of the Company’s practices and procedures to assess the impacts of operations on the environment. The Board considers issues associated with climate change, the Company’s GHG exposures, and the financial consequences that might result from enacted and potential federal and/or state regulation of GHG. Management has published, with Board oversight, a Climate Change Report available at http://www.pnmresources.com/about-us/sustainability-portal.aspx, that details the Company’s efforts to transition to an emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040.

As part of management’s continuing effort to monitor climate-related risks and assess opportunities, the Company has advanced its understanding of climate change by participating in the “2 Degree Scenario” planning conducted as part of the Electric Power Research Institute (“EPRI”) Understanding Climate Scenarios & Goal Setting Activities program. The program
97

Table of Contents
focused on characterizing and analyzing the relationship of individual electric utility company’s carbon emissions and global temperature goals. Activities include analyzing the scientific understanding of global emissions pathways that are consistent with limiting global warming and providing insight to assist companies in developing approaches to climate scenario planning. As PNM expands its sustainability efforts, EPRI’s environmental and climate analysis programs have also been useful in gaining a better understanding of energy and environmental policy and regulations, advanced clean energy technologies, decarbonization trends and climate impacts.

The Company cannot anticipate or predict the potential long-term effects of climate change or climate change related regulation on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Exposures

In 2021, GHG associated with PNM’s interests in its fossil-fueled generating plants included approximately 5.5 million metric tons of CO2, which comprises the vast majority of PNM’s GHG.

As of March 31, 2022, approximately 56% of PNM’s generating capacity, including resources owned, leased, and under PPAs, all of which is located within the U.S., consisted of coal or gas-fired generation that produces GHG. This reflects the retirement of SJGS Units 2 and 3 that occurred in December 2017 and the restructuring of ownership in SJGS Unit 4. These events reduced PNM’s entitlement in SJGS from 783 MW to 562 MW and caused the Company’s output of GHG to decrease when compared to 2017. Many factors affect the amount of GHG emitted, including total electricity sales, plant performance, economic dispatch, and the availability of renewable resources. For example, wind generation performance from PNM’s largest single renewable energy resource, New Mexico Wind, varies each year as a result of highly seasonal wind patterns and annual wind resource variability. Similarly, if PVNGS experienced prolonged outages or if PNM’s entitlement from PVNGS were reduced, PNM might be required to utilize other power supply resources such as gas-fired generation, which could increase GHG.

PNM has several programs underway to reduce or offset GHG from its generation resource portfolio, thereby reducing its exposure to climate change regulation. As described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2021 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, PNM received approval for the December 31, 2017 shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 as part of its strategy to address the regional haze requirements of the CAA. The shutdown of SJGS Units 2 and 3 resulted in a reduction of GHG for the entire station of approximately 54% for 2018, reflecting a reduction of 32% of GHG from the Company’s owned interests in SJGS, below 2005 levels. In 2020, PNM received authorization for a June 2022 abandonment of SJGS Units 1 and 4. On February 17, 2022, PNM notified the Commission that PNM had acquired permission of the SJGS owners and coal mine to temporarily extend operation of SJGS Unit 4 until September 30, 2022. This notification was due to SJGS replacement resources not being available for the summer 2022 peak load. In addition, PNM has filed the Four Corners Abandonment Application with the NMPRC for approval to sell its ownership interest in Four Corners by the end of 2024. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal with the NM Supreme Court, on January 21, 2022, PNM filed its Statement of Issues regarding the appeal and on March 24, 2022, PNM filed its Brief-in-Chief. See additional discussion of the SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment in Note 12. Retiring PNM’s share of SJGS and exiting participation in Four Corners would further reduce PNM’s GHG as those two coal-fired stations represent approximately 86% of PNM's 2020 GHG emissions from generation.

As of March 31, 2022, PNM owned or procured power under PPAs from 957 MW of capacity from renewable generation resources. This is comprised of 158 MW of PNM owned solar as well as wind, solar-PV, and geothermal facilities aggregating to 658 MW, 130 MW, and 11 MW. These agreements currently have expiration dates beginning in January 2035 and extending through June 2045. The NMPRC has approved PNM’s request to enter into additional PPAs for renewable energy for an additional 1,440 MW of energy from solar-PV facilities combined with 640 MW of battery storage agreements with an anticipated 100 MW of solar-PV expected to come online later in 2022. The entire portfolio of replacement resources approved by the NMPRC in PNM’s SJGS Abandonment Application includes replacement of SJGS capacity with the procurement of 650 MW of solar PPAs combined with 300 MW of battery storage agreements and the PVNGS Leased Interest Abandonment Application for solar PPAs of 450 MW combined with 290 MW of battery storage agreements. In addition, the NMPRC issued an order that will allow PNM to service a data center for an additional 190 MW of solar PPA combined with 50 MW of battery storage and a 50 MW solar PPA expected to be operational in 2023. Approval of these renewable energy and battery resources should further reduce any exposure to GHG emissions risk. These estimates are subject to change due to underlying variables, including changes in PNM's generation portfolio, supplier's ability to meet contractual in-service dates and complex relationships between several factors. See additional discussion of these resources in Notes 11 and 12.

PNM also has a customer distributed solar generation program that represented 211.8 MW at March 31, 2022. PNM’s distributed solar programs will generate an estimated 423.6 GWh of emission-free solar energy available this year to offset PNM’s annual production from fossil-fueled electricity generation. PNM has offered its customers a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficiency and load management programs since 2007. PNM’s cumulative savings from these programs was approximately 5,936 GWh of electricity through 2021. Over the next 20 years, PNM projects energy efficiency and load management programs will provide the equivalent of approximately 9,500 GWh of electricity savings, which will avoid at least
98

Table of Contents
1.0 million metric tons of CO2 based upon projected emissions from PNM’s system-wide resources. These estimates are subject to change because of the uncertainty of many of the underlying variables, including changes in PNM’s generation portfolio, demand for electricity, energy efficiency, and complex relationships between those variables.

Because of PNM’s dependence on fossil-fueled generation, legislation or regulation that imposes a limit or cost on GHG could impact the cost at which electricity is produced. While PNM expects to recover any such costs through rates, the timing and outcome of proceedings for cost recovery are uncertain. In addition, to the extent that any additional costs are recovered through rates, customers may reduce their usage, relocate facilities to other areas with lower energy costs, or take other actions that ultimately could adversely impact PNM.

Other Climate Change Risks

PNM’s generating stations are located in the arid southwest. Access to water for cooling for some of these facilities is critical to continued operations. Forecasts for the impacts of climate change on water supply in the southwest range from reduced precipitation to changes in the timing of precipitation. In either case, PNM’s generating facilities requiring water for cooling will need to mitigate the impacts of climate change through adaptive measures. Current measures employed by PNM generating stations such as air cooling, use of grey water, improved reservoir operations, and shortage sharing arrangements with other water users will continue to be important to sustain operations.

PNM’s service areas occasionally experience periodic high winds and severe thunderstorms. TNMP has operations in the Gulf Coast area of Texas, which experiences periodic hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions. In addition to potentially causing physical damage to Company-owned facilities, which disrupts the ability to transmit and/or distribute energy, weather and other events of nature can temporarily reduce customers’ usage and demand for energy. In addition, other events influenced by climate change, such as wildfires, could disrupt Company operations or result in third-party claims against the Company. PNM has enhanced its wildfire prevention efforts and maintains a wildfire mitigation plan; however, PNM remains at risk for wildfires outside of its control and the resulting damages in its service areas.

EPA Regulation

In April 2007, the US Supreme Court held that EPA has the authority to regulate GHG under the CAA.  This decision heightened the importance of this issue for the energy industry.  In December 2009, EPA released its endangerment finding for GHG from new motor vehicles, stating that the atmospheric concentrations of six key greenhouse gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxides, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride) endanger the public health and welfare of current and future generations. In May 2010, EPA released the final Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”) and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule to address GHG from stationary sources under the CAA permitting programs. The purpose of the rule was to “tailor” the applicability of two programs, the PSD construction permit and Title V operating permit programs, to avoid impacting millions of small GHG emitters. On June 23, 2014, the US Supreme Court found EPA lacked authority to “tailor” the CAA’s unambiguous numerical thresholds of 100 or 250 tons per year, and thus held EPA may not require a source to obtain a PSD permit solely on the basis of its potential GHG. However, the court upheld EPA’s authority to apply the PSD program for GHG to “anyway” sources - those sources that are required to comply with the PSD program for other non-GHG pollutants.

On June 25, 2013, then President Obama announced his Climate Action Plan, which outlined how his administration planned to cut GHG in the U.S., prepare the country for the impacts of climate change, and lead international efforts to combat and prepare for global warming. The plan proposed actions that would lead to the reduction of GHG by 17% below 2005 levels by 2020.

On August 3, 2015, EPA responded to the Climate Action Plan by issuing (1) the Carbon Pollution Standards for new, modified, and reconstructed power plants (under Section 111(b)); and (2) the Clean Power Plan for existing power plants (under Section 111(d)).

EPA’s Carbon Pollution Standards for new sources (those constructed after January 8, 2014) established separate standards for gas and coal-fired units deemed achievable through the application of what EPA determined to be the BSER demonstrated for each type of unit efficient natural gas combined cycle technology for gas units, and partial carbon capture and sequestration for coal units. The Clean Power Plan established numeric “emission standards” for existing electric generating units based on emission reduction opportunities that EPA deemed achievable using technical assumptions for three “building blocks”: efficiency improvements at coal-fired EGUs, displacement of affected EGUs with renewable energy, and displacement of coal-fired generation with natural gas-fired generation.

Multiple states, utilities, and trade groups filed petitions for review in the DC Circuit to challenge both the Carbon Pollution Standards for new sources and the Clean Power Plan for existing sources in separate cases, and the challenges successfully petitioned the US Supreme Court for a stay of the Clean Power Plan. However, before the DC Circuit could issue
99

Table of Contents
an opinion regarding either the Carbon Pollution Standards or the Clean Power Plan, President Trump took office and his administration asked the court to hold both cases in abeyance while the rules were re-evaluated, which the court granted.

On June 19, 2019, EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan, promulgated the ACE Rule, and revised the implementing regulations for all emission guidelines issued under CAA Section 111(d). EPA set the BSER for existing coal-fired power plants as heat rate efficiency improvements based on a range of “candidate technologies” to be applied inside the fence-line of an individual facility. The ACE Rule was also challenged and, on January 19, 2021, the DC Circuit issued an opinion in American Lung Association and American Public Health Association v. EPA, et al. finding that EPA misinterpreted the CAA when it determined that the language of section 111 unambiguously barred consideration of emissions reductions options that were not applied at the source. As a result, the court vacated the ACE Rule and remanded the record to EPA for further consideration consistent with the court’s opinion. While the D.C. Circuit rejected the ACE Rule, it did not reinstate the Clean Power Plan. EPA filed a motion seeking a partial stay of the mandate as to the repeal of the Clean Power Plan, to ensure the court’s order will not render effective the now out-of-date Clean Power Plan. On February 22, 2021, the DC Circuit granted EPA’s motion, indicating that it would withhold issuance of the mandate with respect to the repeal of the Clean Power Plan until EPA responds to the court’s remand in a new rulemaking action. EPA has indicated it is developing a proposed rule under CAA Section 111(d) to establish guidelines for CO2 emissions from existing EGUs. EPA expects to publish the draft rule in the summer of 2022. On October 29, 2021, the US Supreme Court granted four petitions for certiorari seeking review of the DC Circuit’s decision vacating the ACE Rule and the repeal of the Clean Power Plan. Oral arguments in the US Supreme Court were held on February 28, 2022. A decision is expected in June 2022. The US Supreme Court’s decision will rule on the extent of EPA’s authority under CAA Section 111(d) to regulate GHGs from existing fossil-fueled EGUs.

The litigation over the Carbon Pollution Standards remains held in abeyance, but could be reactivated by the parties upon a determination by the court that the Biden Administration is unlikely to finalize the revisions proposed in 2018 and that reconsideration of the rule has concluded.

On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis,” which instructs agency heads to review all Trump Administration actions for inconsistency with the Biden Administration’s policy “to listen to the science; to improve public health and protect our environment; to ensure access to clean air and water; to limit exposure to dangerous chemicals and pesticides; to hold polluters accountable, including those who disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income communities; to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; to bolster resilience to the impacts of climate change; to restore and expand our national treasures and monuments; and to prioritize both environmental justice and the creation of the well-paying union jobs necessary to deliver on these goals.” Agency heads were directed to consider suspending, revising or rescinding any action that is inconsistent with the stated policy. Within 30 days of the executive order, agency heads submitted to the United States Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") a preliminary list of those actions being considered for suspension, revision or rescission that would be completed by December 31, 2021, and would be subject to OMB review. Within 90 days of the executive order, agency heads submitted to OMB an updated list of such actions that would be completed by December 31, 2025. EPA is reconsidering the ACE Rule pursuant to this executive order.

Federal Legislation

President Biden has indicated that climate change is a top priority for his administration. A number of legislative proposals to address climate change are already being considered in the Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives, but the thin majority held by the Democrats in the Senate may make enactment of new laws to address climate change difficult. On April 22, 2021, at the Earth Day Summit, as part of the U.S.’s re-entry into the Paris Agreement, President Biden unveiled the goal to cut U.S. emissions by 50% - 52% from 2005 levels by 2030, nearly double the GHG emissions reduction target set by the Obama Administration. The 2030 goal joins President Biden’s other climate goals which include a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and a net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050.

State and Regional Activity

Pursuant to New Mexico law, each utility must submit an IRP to the NMPRC every three years to evaluate renewable energy, energy efficiency, load management, distributed generation, and conventional supply-side resources on a consistent and comparable basis.  The IRP is required to take into consideration risk and uncertainty of fuel supply, price volatility, and costs of anticipated environmental regulations when evaluating resource options to meet supply needs of the utility’s customers.  The NMPRC requires that New Mexico utilities factor a standardized cost of carbon emissions into their IRPs using prices ranging between $8 and $40 per metric ton of CO2 emitted and escalating these costs by 2.5% per year.  Under the NMPRC order, each utility must analyze these standardized prices as projected operating costs.  Reflecting the evolving nature of this issue, the NMPRC order states that these prices may be changed in the future to account for additional information or changed circumstances.  Although these prices may not reflect the costs that ultimately will be incurred, PNM is required to use these prices for purposes of its IRP.  In its 2020 filing for Four Corners Abandonment, PNM analyzed resource portfolio plans for scenarios that assumed Four Corners will operate through 2031 and for scenarios that assumed PNM will exit Four Corners at

the end of 2024. The key findings of the analysis include that exiting Four Corners in 2024 would provide long-term economic benefits to PNM’s customers. See Note 12.

The ETA was signed into New Mexico state law and became effective on June 14, 2019. The ETA, among other things, requires that investor-owned utilities obtain specified percentages of their energy from renewable and carbon-free resources. Prior to the enactment of the ETA, the REA established a mandatory RPS requiring utilities to acquire a renewable energy portfolio equal to 10% of retail electric sales by 2011, 15% by 2015, and 20% by 2020. The ETA amends the REA and requires utilities operating in New Mexico to have renewable portfolios equal to 40% by 2025, 50% by 2030, 80% by 2040, and 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. Under the ETA provisions, PNM will also be required to meet a generation emission standard of no more than 400 lbs. of CO2 per MWh beginning in 2023 and not more than 200 lbs. per MWh beginning in 2032. PNM takes this requirement into account in its resource planning and it is expected that the standards will be met with the approved resource retirements and replacements. The ETA provides for a transition from coal-fired generating resources to carbon-free resources by allowing investor-owned utilities to issue securitized bonds, or “energy transition bonds,” related to the retirement of coal-fired generating facilities to qualified investors. Proceeds from the energy transition bonds must be used only for purposes related to providing utility service to customers and to pay “energy transition costs” (as defined by the ETA). These costs may include coal mine reclamation, plant decommissioning, and other costs that have not yet been charged to customers or disallowed by the NMPRC or by a court order. Proceeds provided by energy transition bonds may also be used to pay for severances for employees of the retired coal-fired generating facility and related coal mine, as well as to pay for job training, education, and economic development. Energy transition bonds must be issued under a NMPRC financing order and are paid by a non-bypassable charge paid by all customers of the issuing utility. The ETA also amends sections of the REA to allow for the recovery of undepreciated investments and decommissioning costs related to qualifying EGUs that the NMPRC has required be removed from retail jurisdictional rates, provided replacement resources to be included in retail rates have lower or zero-carbon emissions. The ETA requires the NMPRC to prioritize replacement resources in a manner intended to mitigate the economic impact to communities affected by these plant retirements. See additional discussion of the ETA in Note 11. PNM expects the ETA will have a significant impact on PNM’s future generation portfolio. In February 2020, the hearing examiners assigned to the SJGS abandonment and financing proceedings issued recommended decisions recommending approval of PNM’s abandonment application and for the issuance of Securitized Bonds consistent with the requirements of the ETA. On April 1, 2020, the NMPRC approved the hearing examiners' recommendation to approve PNM's application to retire its share of SJGS in 2022 and for the issuance of Securitized Bonds. PNM has also requested approval of energy transition bonds for the Four Corners Abandonment costs of that transition away from coal-fired generation. On December 15, 2021, the NMPRC denied approval of the Four Corners Abandonment Application and the corresponding request for issuance of securitized financing. On December 22, 2021, PNM filed a Notice of Appeal with the NM Supreme Court of the NMPRC decision to deny the application. PNM cannot predict the full impact of the ETA or the outcome of the NM Supreme Court decision with respect to the abandonment of Four Corners. See additional discussion of PNM’s SJGS and Four Corners Abandonment Applications in Note 12.

International Accords

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (“UNFCCC”) is an international environmental treaty that was negotiated at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (informally known as the Earth Summit) and entered into force in March 1994.  The objective of the treaty is to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.”  Parties to the UNFCCC, including the U.S., have been meeting annually in Conferences of the Parties (“COP”) to assess progress in meeting the objectives of the UNFCCC. 

On December 12, 2015, the Paris Agreement was finalized during the 2015 COP. The aim of the Paris Agreement is to limit global temperature rise to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The agreement, which was agreed to by approximately 200 parties, requires that countries submit INDCs. INDCs reflect national targets and actions that arise out of national policies and elements relating to oversight, guidance and coordination of actions to reduce emissions by all countries. In November 2014, then President Obama announced the United States’ commitment to reduce GHG, on an economy-wide basis, by 26%-28% from 2005 levels by the year 2025. The U.S. INDC was part of an overall effort by the former administration to have the U.S. achieve economy-wide reductions of around 80% by 2050.  The former administration’s GHG reduction target for the electric utility industry was a key element of its INDC and was based on EPA’s GHG regulations for new, existing, modified, and reconstructed sources at that time. Thresholds for the number of countries necessary to ratify or accede to the Paris Agreement and total global GHG percentage were achieved on October 5, 2016, and the Paris Agreement entered into force on November 4, 2016.  On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. As a result of the President’s notice to the United Nations, the U.S. officially withdrew from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, President Biden signed an instrument that will allow the United States to rejoin the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The instrument was deposited with the United Nations on January 21, 2021, and the United States officially became a party to the Agreement on February 19, 2021.

PNM has calculated GHG reductions that would result from scenarios that assume PNM’s scheduled retirement of its share of the SJGS in 2022 and would exit from Four Corners in either 2024 or 2031 and PNM has set a goal to have a 100%
101

Table of Contents
emissions-free generating portfolio by 2040. While the Company has not conducted an independent 2 Degree Scenario analysis, our commitment to becoming 100% emissions-free by 2040 produces a carbon emissions reduction pathway that tracks within the ranges of climate scenario pathways that are consistent with limiting the global warming average to less than 2 degrees Celsius. In addition, as an investor-owned utility operating in the state of New Mexico, PNM is required to comply with the recently enacted ETA, which requires utilities’ generating portfolio be 100% carbon-free by 2045. The requirements of the ETA and the Company’s goal compare favorably to the U.S. INDC of 50% to 52% carbon emissions reduction by 2030 and the Biden Administration's goal of net-zero carbon emissions economy-wide by 2050. On April 1, 2020, the NMPRC approved PNM’s application to retire its share of SJGS in 2022. PNM filed for abandonment of Four Corners on January 8, 2021. See Note 12.

PNM will continue to monitor the United States’ participation in the Paris Agreement and other parties’ involvement in these types of international accords, but the potential impact that such accords may have on the Company cannot be determined at this time.

Assessment of Legislative/Regulatory Impacts

The Company has assessed, and continues to assess, the impacts of climate change legislation and regulation on its business.  This assessment is ongoing and future changes arising out of the legislative or regulatory process could impact the assessment significantly.  PNM’s assessment includes assumptions regarding specific GHG limits; the timing of implementation of these limits; the possibility of a market-based trading program, including the associated costs and the availability of emission credits or allowances; the development of emission reduction and/or renewable energy technologies; and provisions for cost containment. Moreover, the assessment assumes various market reactions such as the price of coal and gas and regional plant economics.  These assumptions are, at best, preliminary and speculative. However, based upon these assumptions, the enactment of climate change legislation or regulation could, among other things, result in significant compliance costs, including large capital expenditures by PNM, and could jeopardize the economic viability of certain generating facilities. See Notes 11 and 12.  While PNM currently expects the retirement of SJGS in 2022 will provide savings to customers, the ultimate consequences of climate change and environmental regulation could lead to increased costs to customers and affect results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition if the incurred costs are not fully recovered through regulated rates. Higher rates could also contribute to reduced usage of electricity.  PNM’s assessment process is evolving and is too speculative at this time for a meaningful prediction of the long-term financial impact.

Transmission Issues

At any given time, FERC has various notices of inquiry and rulemaking dockets related to transmission issues pending. Such actions may lead to changes in FERC administrative rules or ratemaking policy but have no time frame in which action must be taken or a docket closed with no further action. Further, such notices and rulemaking dockets do not apply strictly to PNM but will have industry-wide effects in that they will apply to all FERC-regulated entities. PNM monitors and often submits comments taking a position in such notices and rulemaking dockets or may join in larger group responses. PNM often cannot determine the full impact of a proposed rule and policy change until the final determination is made by FERC and PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

Financial Reform Legislation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Reform Act”), enacted in July 2010, includes provisions that will require certain over-the-counter derivatives, or swaps, to be centrally cleared and executed through an exchange or other approved trading facility. It also includes provisions related to swap transaction reporting and record keeping and may impose margin requirements on swaps that are not centrally cleared. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has published final rules defining several key terms related to the act and has set compliance dates for various types of market participants. The Dodd-Frank Reform Act provides exemptions from certain requirements, including an exception to the mandatory clearing and swap facility execution requirements for commercial end-users that use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk.  PNM has elected the end-user exception to the mandatory clearing requirement. PNM expects to be in compliance with the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and related rules within the time frames required by the CFTC. However, as a result of implementing and complying with the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and related rules, PNM’s swap activities could be subject to increased costs, including from higher margin requirements. At this time, PNM cannot predict the ultimate impact the Dodd-Frank Reform Act may have on PNM’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or liquidity.

Other Matters

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Company management to select and apply accounting policies that best provide the framework to report the results of operations and financial position for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. The selection and application of those policies requires management to make difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments concerning reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. As a result, there exists the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

As of March 31, 2022, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies disclosed in PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s 2021 Annual Reports on Forms 10-K. The policies disclosed included regulatory accounting, impairments, decommissioning and reclamation costs, pension and other postretirement benefits, accounting for contingencies, and income taxes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company manages the scope of its various forms of market risk through a comprehensive set of policies and procedures with oversight by senior level management through the Risk Management Committee (“RMC”). The Board’s Finance Committee sets the risk limit parameters. The RMC has oversight over the risk control organization. The RMC is assigned responsibility for establishing and enforcing the policies, procedures, and limits and evaluating the risks inherent in proposed transactions on an enterprise-wide basis. The RMC’s responsibilities include:

Establishing policies regarding risk exposure levels and activities in each of the business segments
Approving the types of derivatives entered into for hedging
Reviewing and approving hedging risk activities
Establishing policies regarding counterparty exposure and limits
Authorizing and delegating transaction limits
Reviewing and approving controls and procedures for derivative activities
Reviewing and approving models and assumptions used to calculate mark-to-market and market risk exposure
Proposing risk limits to the Board’s Finance Committee for its approval
Reporting to the Board’s Audit and Finance Committees on these activities

To the extent an open position exists, fluctuating commodity prices, interest rates, equity prices, and economic conditions can impact financial results and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably. As a result, the Company cannot predict with certainty the impact that its risk management decisions may have on its businesses, operating results, or financial position.

Commodity Risk
Information concerning accounting for derivatives and the risks associated with commodity contracts is set forth in Note 7, including a summary of the fair values of mark-to-market energy related derivative contracts included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had no commodity derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments.
105

Table of Contents
Commodity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative are recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the effects of mark-to-market commodity derivative instruments had no impact to PNM's net earnings and $3.7 million and zero of fair value losses have been recorded as a regulatory asset. All of the fair values as of March 31, 2022, were determined based on prices provided by external sources other than actively quoted market prices. The net mark-to-market amounts will settle by 2022.
PNM is exposed to changes in the market prices of electricity and natural gas for the positions in its wholesale portfolio not covered by the FPPAC. The Company manages risks associated with these market fluctuations by utilizing various commodity instruments that may qualify as derivatives, including futures, forwards, options, and swaps. PNM uses such instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in the market prices of electricity and natural gas. PNM also uses such instruments under an NMPRC approved hedging plan to manage fuel and purchased power costs related to customers covered by its FPPAC.
Unusually cold weather in February 2021 resulted in higher than expected natural gas and purchased power costs. PNM mitigated the impacts from the cold weather by securing gas supplies in advance, engaging in market purchases when lower prices were available, and adjusting plant operation of its gas units to minimize reliance on higher-priced gas supplies. PNM estimates the impact of the cold weather conditions in the first quarter of 2021 resulted in approximately $20 million of additional natural gas costs and approximately $8 million in additional purchased power costs. These fuel increases were passed through to customers under the FPPAC.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its retail and wholesale customers, as well as the counterparties to derivative instruments. The Company conducts counterparty risk analysis across business segments and uses a credit management process to assess the financial conditions of counterparties. The following table provides information related to credit exposure by the credit worthiness (credit rating) and concentration of credit risk for wholesale counterparties, all of which will mature in less than two years.

(1)The rating “Investment Grade” is for counterparties, or a guarantor, with a minimum S&P rating of BBB- or Moody’s rating of Baa3. The category “Internal Ratings – Investment Grade” includes those counterparties that are internally rated as investment grade in accordance with the guidelines established in the Company’s credit policy.

(2)The Credit Risk Exposure is the gross credit exposure, including long-term contracts (other than the Tri-State hazard sharing agreement), forward sales, and short-term sales. The gross exposure captures the amounts from receivables/payables for realized transactions, delivered and unbilled revenues, and mark-to-market gains/losses. Gross exposures can be offset according to legally enforceable netting arrangements but are not reduced by posted credit collateral. At March 31, 2022, PNMR held $0.9 million of cash collateral to offset its credit exposure.

Net credit risk for the Company’s largest counterparty as of March 31, 2022, was $3.0 million.

Other investments have no significant counterparty credit risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of PNM’s and TNMP's long-term debt is fixed-rate debt, which does not expose earnings to adverse changes in market interest rates. PNM and TNMP earnings are exposed to adverse changes in market interest rates when long-term debt must be refinanced, repriced or redeemed. PNMR's debt and the revolving credit facilities of PNM and TNMP are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent variable interest rates continue to rise. The Company periodically makes plans to reduce its variable interest rate exposures through various instruments including fixed rate debt and equity, and otherwise expects that it will be able to extend or replace variable rate debt under similar terms and conditions prior to their expirations.
106

Table of Contents
Variable interest rates under the PNMR and PNM facilities are based on LIBOR but contain provisions which allow for the replacement of LIBOR with other widely accepted interest rates. Variable interest rates under the TNMP facility are based on SOFR.

At April 21, 2022, variable rate debt balances and weighted average interest rates were as follows:

The investments held by PNM in trusts for decommissioning and reclamation had an estimated fair value of $431.1 million at March 31, 2022, of which 59.2% were fixed-rate debt securities that subject PNM to risk of loss of fair value with increases in market interest rates. If interest rates were to increase by 50 basis points from their levels at March 31, 2022, the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be 2.0%, or $5.1 million.

PNM does not directly recover or return through rates any losses or gains on the securities, including equity investments discussed below, in the trusts for decommissioning and reclamation. However, the overall performance of these trusts does enter into the periodic determinations of expense and funding levels, which are factored into the rate making process to the extent applicable to regulated operations. The NMPRC ruled in the NM 2015 Rate Case that PNM would not be able to include future contributions made by PNM for decommissioning of PVNGS to the extent applicable to certain capacity purchased and leased by PNM in rates charged to retail customers. The NM Supreme Court ruled that the NMPRC’s decision to disallow recovery of such future contributions for decommissioning denied PNM due process and remanded the matter back to the NMPRC for further proceedings. PNM is at risk for shortfalls in funding of obligations due to investment losses, including those from the equity market risks discussed below, to the extent not ultimately recovered through rates charged to customers.

Equity Market Risk

The investments held by PNM in trusts for decommissioning and reclamation include certain equity securities at March 31, 2022. These equity securities expose PNM to losses in fair value should the market values of the underlying securities decline. Equity securities comprised 37.6% of the securities held by the trusts as of March 31, 2022. A hypothetical 10% decrease in equity prices would reduce the fair values of these funds by $16.2 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There have been no changes in each of PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, each of PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes with regard to the Risk Factors disclosed in PNMR's, PNM's, and TNMP's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as set forth below.

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our business.

Interest rates may increase in the future. As a result, interest rates on future credit facilities and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. In addition, because we use both fixed and variable rate debt, we are exposed to market risk due to the floating interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our results of operations, cash flows and financial position could be affected adversely by significant fluctuations in interest rates from current levels.

The financial performance of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP may be adversely affected if power plants, other generation resources and transmission and distribution systems do not operate reliably and efficiently.

The Company’s financial performance depends on the successful operation of PNM’s generation assets, as well as the transmission and distribution systems of PNM and TNMP. PNM’s recent abandonment applications for SJGS and Four Corners will increase PNM’s dependency on other generation resources, including renewable resources, gas-fired facilities, and PVNGS, and will reduce PNM’s flexibility in managing those resources. Unscheduled or longer than expected maintenance outages, breakdown or failure of equipment or processes due to aging infrastructure, inability to install or operate renewable resources, temporary or permanent shutdowns to achieve environmental compliance, other performance problems with the generation assets, unfavorable geologic conditions, severe weather conditions, accidents and other catastrophic events, acts of war or terrorism, cybersecurity attacks, wildfires, disruptions in the supply, quality, and delivery of fuel and water supplies, and other factors could result in PNM’s load requirements being larger than available system generation capacity. Unplanned outages of generating units, extensions of scheduled outages and delays in replacement resources occur from time to time and are an inherent risk of the Company’s business. If these were to occur, PNM would be required to purchase electricity in either the wholesale market or spot market at the then-current market price. There can be no assurance that sufficient electricity would be available at reasonable prices, or available at all. The failure of transmission or distribution facilities may also affect PNM’s and TNMP’s ability to deliver power. These potential generation, distribution, and transmission problems, and any service interruptions related to them, could result in lost revenues and additional costs.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

April 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement

On April 27, 2022, TNMP entered into the TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement with the institutional investors party thereto for the sale of $160.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP 2022 Bonds offered in a private placement transaction. Under the TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement, TNMP has agreed to issue (i) on May 12, 2022, $65,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.13% First Mortgage Bonds, due May 12, 2052, Series 2022A (the “2022A Bonds”) and (ii)
108


on or before July 28, 2022, $95,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.81% First Mortgage Bonds, due July 28, 2032, Series 2022C (the “2022C Bonds” and, together with the 2022A Bonds, the “TNMP 2022 Bonds”). The issuance of the TNMP 2022 Bonds is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including continuing compliance with the representations, warranties and covenants of the TNMP Bond Purchase Agreement. TNMP will use the proceeds from the TNMP 2022 Bonds for the repayment of existing debt (including revolving credit facility borrowings), to fund capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

The TNMP 2022 Bonds will be secured by a first mortgage on substantially all of TNMP’s property, subject to excepted encumbrances, reservations, contracts, and other exceptions. The TNMP 2022 Bonds will be issued pursuant to TNMP’s First Mortgage Indenture dated as of March 23, 2009 (the “First Mortgage Indenture”), between TNMP and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as ultimate successor to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee, as previously supplemented and amended and as to be further supplemented by a fifteenth supplemental indenture to be dated on May 12, 2022 (providing for the issuance of the 2022A Bonds), and a seventeenth supplemental indenture to be dated on or before July 28, 2022 (providing for the issuance of the 2022C Bonds). A copy of the First Mortgage Indenture was filed by TNMP as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2009. A copy of the forms of the fifteenth and seventeenth supplemental indentures pursuant to which the TNMP 2022 Bonds will be issued are included as schedules to the TNMP Bond Purchase Agreement.

The terms of the TNMP 2022 Bonds will include customary covenants, including a covenant that requires the maintenance of a debt-to-capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 65%, customary events of default, a cross-default provision, and a change-of-control provision. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the fifteenth and seventeenth supplemental indentures, other than in connection with the pending Merger between PNM Resources, Inc. and Avangrid), TNMP will be required to offer to prepay the TNMP 2022 Bonds at par. TNMP will have the right to redeem any or all of the TNMP 2022 Bonds prior to their respective maturities, subject to payment of a customary make-whole premium.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the TNMP 2022 Bond Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.9 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

The TNMP 2022 Bonds are not registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements and applicable state laws. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to purchase the TNMP 2022 Bonds or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Exhibit 10.1
2022 Director Compensation Summary

Non-employee directors of PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) receive their annual retainer in the form of cash and stock-based compensation as determined by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”). At the March 1, 2022 Board meeting, the Board approved the following changes to director compensation for 2022: increasing 1) the annual cash retainer from $$90,000 $95,000; 2) the market value of the annual award of restricted stock rights from $120,000 to $125,000; 3) the Lead Director fee from $25,000 to $30,000; 4) the Compensation Committee Chair retainer from $12,500 to $15,000; and 5) the Finance and Nominating Committee Chairs retainers from $10,000 to $12,500. Thus, the 2022 annual retainer for non-employee directors is as follows:


Annual Retainer:
 An annual cash retainer of $95,000 paid in quarterly installments and restricted stock rights* with a grant date market value of $125,000 awarded on the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Lead Director Fee: $30,000 paid in quarterly installments
Audit and Ethics Committee Chair Retainer:
 

$15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Compensation and Human Resources Committee Chair Retainer: 


$15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Finance Committee Chair Retainer:
 $12,500 paid in quarterly installments
Nominating and Governance Committee Chair Retainer:
 

$12,500 paid in quarterly installments
Supplemental Meeting Fees:
$1,500 payable for and after each meeting of a particular committee or the full Board, as the case may be, attended by a committee member or non-employee director, respectively, in excess of eight committee or full Board meetings annually


Directors are also reimbursed for any Board-related expenses, such as travel expenses incurred to attend Board and Board committee meetings and director educational programs. Further, directors are indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and indemnification agreements between the Company and each director. No retirement or other benefit plans are available to directors.

* The amount of the annual award of restricted stock rights is determined by dividing $125,000 by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of the grant. Restricted stock rights granted under the Company’s Performance Equity Plan vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to vesting acceleration upon certain events, including disability. The directors may defer receipt of vested restricted stock rights granted on and after May 2018 to the earlier of (1) the five-year anniversary of termination of service with the Board or (2) a date certain or termination of service anniversary selected by the director. These awards are typically made at the annual meeting of directors, unless the meeting occurs during a black-out period for trading in the Company's securities as specified in the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. As set forth under the Company’s Equity Compensation Awards Policy, under those circumstances, the Board will either (a) schedule a special meeting after the expiration of the black-out period, (b) make awards pursuant to a unanimous written consent executed after the expiration of the black-out period, or (c) pre-approve the equity awards with an effective date after the expiration of the black-out period. The date of the awards is the date on which the Board approves the awards, unless (i) the approval date is a non-trading day, in which case the date is the immediately preceding trading date or (ii) in the case of pre-approval during a black-out period, in which case the grant date is the first trading date after the expiration of the black-out period. The PEP limits the maximum amount of shares that may be granted to any non-employee director during any calendar year to no more than 15,000 shares.

Exhibit 10.2

PNM RESOURCES, INC.
2022 OFFICER ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN


Introduction

PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “PNMR”) has adopted this 2022 Officer Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the purpose of providing annual cash-based incentive awards (each an “Award”) to eligible Officers (as defined below).

Capitalized terms that are used, but not defined, in this Plan document shall have the meanings given to them in the PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Performance Equity Plan (the “PEP”).

Eligibility

All Officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the term “Officer” means any employee who: (1) has the title of Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, Vice President or higher; and (2) who is in salary grade H18 or higher.

Award Determinations in General

Awards are based on: (1) the Incentive Earnings Per Share (“Incentive EPS”) levels (as described below and as set forth in Table 1 of Attachment A) for the Performance Period; (2) the weighting between Corporate and Business Area Goals (as set forth in Table 2 of Attachment A); and (3) Award levels (as set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A) achieved during the Performance Period. For purposes of the Plan, the “Performance Period” means the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

An Officer’s Award will equal the Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool as described below. If, however, the Officer’s share of the appropriate Performance Award Pool as described below is less than the Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool, the Officer will receive the smaller amount.

An Officer’s share of the Incentive EPS Award Pool or the Performance Award Pool (each, an “Award Pool”), as applicable, will be based upon the amount potentially payable to the Officer for the attained level of performance (Threshold, Target or Maximum, as determined in accordance with Table 3 of Attachment A), as compared to the aggregate amounts potentially payable for the attained level of performance to all of the Officers who are entitled to share in that Award Pool. In determining the amount potentially payable to an Officer, the Officer’s base salary will be determined as of December 31, 2022. In no event will the amount payable to an Officer exceed the indicated percentage of the Officer’s base salary for the attained performance level set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A. In addition, in no event will the amount payable to one Officer be increased due to a decrease in the amount payable to any other Officer.




Incentive EPS Award Pool

In order for any Awards to be payable to eligible Officers, the Company must achieve the Threshold Incentive EPS level set forth in Table 1 of Attachment A. If the Company does not achieve the Threshold Incentive EPS level (calculated before any charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan), no Awards are payable under the Plan to any Officer. If the Company achieves the Threshold Incentive EPS level (calculated before any charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan), but the charges for amounts due pursuant to this Plan reduce the Incentive EPS to an amount below the Threshold Incentive EPS level, the Threshold level Incentive EPS Award Pool shall be reduced by the amount necessary to assure that the Incentive EPS is equal to the Threshold Incentive EPS level, unless the Committee, in the exercise of its discretion concludes that no Awards should be payable.

If the Threshold, Target or Maximum Incentive EPS levels set forth in Table 1 of Attachment A are achieved, the aggregate potential Awards payable to the Officers at that level of performance (e.g., the aggregate level of Awards payable at Threshold, Target or Maximum set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A) will make up the “Incentive EPS Award Pool.” If the actual Incentive EPS exceeds the minimum level for a performance level by at least $0.01, but is less than the maximum level for that performance level (e.g., if the actual Incentive EPS exceeds $2.50 but is less than $2.55), the Incentive EPS Award Pool will be increased by using straight-line interpolation between the size of the Incentive EPS Award Pool based on the attained level (e.g., Threshold) and the size of the Incentive EPS Award Pool at the next higher level (e.g., Target). The Committee has the discretion to increase the Incentive EPS Award Pool by a lesser amount than would otherwise apply under straight-line interpolation. The Incentive EPS Award Pool is capped by the aggregate Maximum Awards set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A for all eligible Officers.

Performance Award Pool

A Corporate Goals Scorecard and Business Area Goals Scorecard listing each performance measure established by the Committee will be maintained by the PNMR Services Company Human Resources Department. As set forth in Table 2 of Attachment A, the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Officers (the Executive Vice President and the Senior Vice Presidents) are measured 100% on the Corporate Goals Scorecard. Vice Presidents are measured 60% on the Corporate Goals Scorecard and 40% on the Business Area Goals Scorecard.

The “Performance Award Pool” for each Business Area is the amount that could be paid in the aggregate to the Vice Presidents assigned to that Business Area based on performance alone, determined by using the following multi-step process:

a)Select the scorecard results from the appropriate Corporate Goals Scorecard and Business Area Goals Scorecard;

b)Then multiply each result by the appropriate weighting for the scorecard as set forth in Table 2 of Attachment A;

c)Then multiply the total Vice President salaries for that Business Area by the Target Award Level as set forth in Table 3 of Attachment A;
    2


d)Then multiply the result of each scorecard (Step b), expressed as a percentage of Target, by the aggregate base salaries of the Vice Presidents included in that Business Area (Step c); and

e)Sum the results for the Vice President participants.

The Performance Award Pool for the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Officers will be constructed by using the same process but will be based solely upon the Corporate Goals Scorecard.

Award Approval and Payout Timing

In early 2023, management will review the level of Awards, if any, and will provide the final Awards calculation to the Committee. The Committee will review the level of Awards and the Awards calculation and will approve the Awards for all Officers, other than the Chief Executive Officer. The independent directors of the Board will approve the Chief Executive Officer’s Award. To the extent Awards are payable under the Plan, the Company will make the payment on or before March 15, 2023 in a single lump sum cash payment, subject to applicable withholding.

The Committee shall retain the authority to adjust the Incentive EPS Award Pool and the Performance Award Pool, to adjust the level of attainment of the Incentive EPS or Corporate Goals and Business Area Goals Scorecards or to otherwise increase or decrease the amount payable with respect to any Award made pursuant to this Plan.

Provisions for a Change in Control

If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period and the Officer remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate at the end of the Performance Period, the Officer may be entitled to receive an Award for the Performance Period as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. If the Plan is modified after the occurrence of a Change in Control in a manner that has the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise payable under the Plan, an Officer who remains employed by the Company or an Affiliate at the end of the Performance Period will receive, at a minimum, an Award equal to 50% of the Maximum Award available under this Plan for the Performance Period.

If an Officer terminates employment with the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Period due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, the Officer may be entitled to receive a special payment pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. Officer Retention Plan in lieu of any payments under this Plan.

Pro-rata Awards for Partial Service Periods

In certain circumstances (as set forth below) Officers may or may not be eligible for a pro-rata Award under the Plan.

The following Officers are not eligible for any Award, including a pro-rata Award:

Officers who terminate employment with the Company or an Affiliate on or before the date on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period for any reason other than death,
    3


Impaction, Retirement or Disability. As noted above, Officers who terminate employment with the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Period due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination may be entitled to receive a special payment pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. Officer Retention Plan in lieu of any payments under this Plan.

Officers who elect voluntary separation or Retirement in lieu of termination for performance or misconduct.

The following Officers may be eligible for a pro-rata Award:

Officers who are newly hired during the Performance Period and are employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the day on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period.

Employees or Officers who are promoted, transferred or demoted during the Performance Period and are employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the day on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period. An employee or Officer who is promoted, transferred or demoted during the Performance Period and subsequently terminates employment due to death, Impaction, Retirement or Disability during the Performance Period will remain eligible for a pro-rata Award.

Officers who are on leave of absence for any full month(s) during the Performance Period and are employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the day on which Awards are distributed for the Performance Period.

Officers who terminate employment with the Company or an Affiliate during the Performance Period due to Impaction, Retirement or Disability.

Officers who die during the Performance Period, in which case the Award will be paid to the spouse of a married Officer or the estate of an unmarried Officer.

If an Officer is eligible for a pro-rata Award, it will be calculated based on the number of full month(s) that the Officer was actively employed at each eligibility level during the Performance Period compared to the number of full months included in the Performance Period. (Note: Only months in which the Officer is actively employed on the payroll on the first and last day of the month will count as a full month.) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Officer is promoted from one eligibility level to another eligibility level in the middle of a month, the Officer shall be treated as being employed at the higher eligibility level for the entire month. If an Officer who is eligible for a pro-rata Award is not employed on December 31, 2022, the pro-rata Award for the eligible Officer will be calculated using the Officer’s base salary on the date of his termination of employment. Any pro-rata Award to which an Officer becomes eligible pursuant to this paragraph will be paid to the Officer in a single lump sum cash payment subject to applicable withholding, on or before March 15, 2023.

Ethics

The purpose of the Plan is to fairly reward performance achievement. Any Officer who manipulates or attempts to manipulate the Plan for personal gain at the expense of customers, shareholders, other employees or the Company or its Affiliates will be subject to disciplinary
    4


action, up to and including termination of employment, and will forfeit and be ineligible to receive any Award under the Plan.

Continuation of Employment

This Plan does not confer upon any Officer any right to continue in the employment of the Company or any Affiliate and does not limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate, in its sole discretion, to terminate the employment of any Officer at any time. This Plan also does not limit any right that the Company or any Affiliate has to terminate the employment of any Officer in accordance with any written employment agreement the Company and Officer may have.

Clawbacks

All Awards issued under this Plan are subject to potential forfeiture or recovery to the fullest extent called for by the Company’s Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, an Officer consents to the Clawback Policy and agrees to be bound by and comply with the Clawback Policy and to return the full amount required by the Clawback Policy.

Amendments

The Committee, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to adjust, amend or suspend the Plan during the Performance Period. The Senior Vice President and General Counsel is hereby authorized to correct any typographical or similar errors in the Plan and any other documents issued in connection with the Plan.

Exhibit 10.3
PNM RESOURCES, INC.
2022 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
Introduction
The 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides eligible Officers of PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “PNMR”) with the opportunity to earn Performance Share Awards (70% of the total opportunity) and time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Awards (30% of the total opportunity). For purposes of the Plan, “Officer” means any Officer of the Company who: (1) has the title of Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, Vice President or higher; and (2) who is in salary grade H18 or higher.

The number of Performance Shares earned by an Officer for the Performance Period (as described below) will depend on the Officer’s position (e.g., Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President or Vice President), the Officer’s base salary and the Company’s level of attainment of an Earnings Growth Goal and a FFO/Debt Ratio Goal, as described below and in Attachment A.

The number of time-vested Restricted Stock Rights granted to an Officer at the end of each Performance Period will depend on the Officer’s position, the Officer’s base salary and the discretion of the Committee.

Performance Period

The Performance Period began on January 1, 2022 and will end on December 31, 2024.

Performance Goals

The number of Performance Shares that an Officer will receive for the Performance Period will depend on the Company’s level of attainment of an Earnings Growth Goal and a FFO/Debt Ratio Goal.

These goals and the corresponding Awards are described in the Performance Goal Table (Attachment A).

Performance Share Award Opportunities

The Company’s level of attainment (Threshold, Target or Maximum) of the Earnings Growth Goal and the FFO/Debt Ratio Goal determines the level of the Officer’s Performance Share Awards.

An Officer’s Performance Share Award opportunities also will vary depending on the Officer’s position and the Officer’s base salary, all as determined in accordance with the Performance Share Award Opportunity Table (Attachment B).

For purposes of determining the number of Performance Shares to which an Officer is entitled at any particular Award level, the value of one Performance Share shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Stock on the relevant Grant Date and the Officer’s base salary shall equal the Officer’s base salary as of the first day of the Performance Period.




Time-Vested Restricted Stock Rights Award Opportunities

After the Performance Period (generally between the next following January 1 and March 15), the Committee will consider whether to grant time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Awards to the participating Officers.

If the Committee, with the approval of the Board, decides to make a time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award to a particular Officer, it must adopt a written resolution to that effect. In the resolution, the Committee will establish the Grant Date for the time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award.

An Officer’s time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award opportunity will vary depending on the Officer’s position and the Officer’s base salary, all as determined in accordance with the attached Time-Vested Restricted Stock Rights Award Opportunity Table (Attachment C). The Committee reserves the discretion to grant an Award that is less than the opportunity set forth in the Time-Vested Restricted Stock Rights Award Opportunity Table or to grant no time-vested Restricted Stock Rights Award to a particular Officer.

For purposes of determining the number of time-vested Restricted Stock Rights to which an Officer will be entitled, the value of one time-vested Restricted Stock Right shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Stock on the Grant Date specified in the Committee’s resolution and the Officer’s base salary shall equal the Officer’s base salary on the Grant Date.

Other Provisions

All of the Awards will be made pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Performance Equity Plan, as amended (the “PEP”) or any successor to the PEP. Any references in the Plan to the PEP shall be deemed to be a reference to the corresponding provisions of any successor to the PEP.

All of the Awards will be subject to the standard Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Attachment D.

The Grant Date for the Performance Share Awards is March 18, 2022.

A full Performance Share Award will be provided to an Officer upon an Officer’s Separation from Service due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination. A prorated Performance Share Award will be provided to an Officer or a “Terminating Officer” under the circumstances described below.

All Officers, including Terminating Officers, shall be entitled to receive a prorated Performance Share Award if the Officer has a Separation from Service in the second half of the Performance Period (in other words, between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024) due to death, Disability, Retirement or Impaction. A prorated Performance Share Award will not be paid to an Officer who incurs a Separation from Service for any of these reasons during the first half of the Performance Period or to an Officer who incurs a Separation from Service for any other reason other than a Qualifying Change in Control Termination prior to the last day of the Performance Period. Solely for purposes of this Plan, a “Terminating Officer” is defined as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Finance; and Senior Vice President and General Counsel (all determined as of the first day of the Performance Period).

    2


Except as set forth below in the “Special Rules for Avangrid Merger” section, the prorated Performance Share Award will be calculated at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance during the Performance Period. The proration will be made based on the number of full months of service completed by the Officer during the Performance Period, using the proration rules described in Section 11.1(a)(iv)(2) of the PEP. The prorated Performance Share Award then will be paid at the same time as Awards are paid to other participants in the Plan.

Except as set forth below in the “Special Rules for Avangrid Merger” section, upon an Officer’s Separation from Service at any time during the Performance Period due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, all Performance Shares will vest at the end of the Performance Period, or such earlier time as determined under the terms of the PEP, based on the level of achievement of the performance goals in accordance with the applicable provisions of the PEP.

If an individual ceases to be an Officer during a Performance Period but remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee may pay a prorated Performance Share Award to the former Officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate as long as the individual was an Officer for at least half of the Performance Period.

If an Officer, including a Terminating Officer, ceases to be an Officer during the Performance Period and subsequently terminates employment due to death, Disability, Retirement or Impaction, the Committee may pay a prorated Performance Share Award to the former Officer, provided the individual was an Officer for at least half of the Performance Period.

If an individual becomes an Officer during a Performance Period or is promoted to a new Officer position during the Performance Period, the Committee may grant a prorated Performance Share Award to the new Officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Performance Share Awards are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards granted pursuant to Section 10 of the PEP. As a result, such Awards are not subject to the requirements of Section 10 of the PEP.

All Awards issued under this Plan are subject to potential forfeiture or recovery to the fullest extent called for by the Company’s Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, an Officer consents to the Clawback Policy and agrees to be bound by and comply with the Clawback Policy and to return the full amount required by the Clawback Policy.

Earnings Growth3
If the Company’s Earnings Growth on the last day of the Performance Period places it in the Threshold, Target or Maximum Level range for the Performance Period, the Officer will be entitled to receive 75% of the Threshold, Target or Maximum Award as determined in accordance with the Performance Share Award Opportunity Table.

FFO/Debt Ratio4
If the Company’s FFO/Debt Ratio on the last day of the Performance Period places it in the Threshold, Target or Maximum Level range for the Performance Period, the Officer will be entitled to receive 25% of the Threshold, Target or Maximum Award as determined in accordance with the Performance Share Award Opportunity Table.

______________________________
1 If the Company’s Earnings Growth or FFO/Debt Ratio falls between two Award levels (e.g., the Threshold Level and the Target Level shown in the Performance Goal Table), the number of Performance Shares to which an Officer is entitled will be interpolated between the two Award levels in accordance with uniform procedures prescribed by the Committee.
2 In no event will an Officer receive more than the Maximum Award for an Officer of his or her level as listed in the Performance Share Award Opportunity Table.
3 Earnings Growth, for the Performance Period, will be calculated by measuring the compounded annual growth rate by dividing the Earnings Per Share (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2024 by the Earnings Per Share (as defined below) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The resulting earnings growth multiple will then be multiplied to the 1/3 power and subtract 1. The calculation would be as follows: [(2024 Earnings Per Share/2019 Earnings Per Share) ^ (1/3)] -1.
Earnings Per Share for the above calculation equals PNMR’s diluted EPS for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2022 and 2024 calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for PNMR adjusted to exclude the following items: (1) mark-to-market impact of economic hedges, (2) regulatory disallowances, (3) net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, (4) gains or losses on reacquired debt, (5) goodwill or other asset impairments, (6) impacts of acquisition and disposition activities, including but not limited to pension expense or income associated with Public Service Company of New Mexico’s (“PNM”) former gas utility operations, (7) impact of the Company’s adoption of an accounting pronouncement or the Company’s adoption of a change in accounting pronouncement on or after March 18, 2022, (8) the loss, impairment, or write-up of any deferred tax asset or liability that was earned and recognized in a prior tax year, but that must be revalued in the current year, (9) judgments entered or settlements reached in litigation or other

4 The FFO/Debt Goal equals PNMR’s funds from operations for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 divided by PNMR’s total debt outstanding (including any long-term leases and unfunded pension plan obligations, excluding any outstanding debt associated with securitization) as of December 31, 2024. Funds from operations are equal to the amount of PNMR’s net cash flow from operating activities (as reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows) as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for PNMR adjusted by the following items: (1) including amounts attributable to principal payments on imputed debt from long-term leases, (2) excluding changes in PNMR’s working capital, including bad debt expense, (3) excluding the impacts of any consolidation required by the Variable Interest Entities accounting rules and regulations, (4) subtracting the amount of capitalized interest, (5) excluding impacts on material changes to the federal and state tax rate, (6) excluding any contributions to the PNMR or TNMP qualified pension plans, (7) excluding cash invested in cloud computing projects that are treated as operating cash flows, (8) excluding impacts of securitization, and (9) impacts of acquisition activities. The calculation is intended to be consistent with Moody’s calculation of FFO/Debt (which Moody’s refers to as “CFO Pre-WC/Debt”) and includes any other adjustments be consistent with Moody’s methodology as of March 18, 2022.

Re:    Amendment to the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Dear Chuck:

On March 30, 2020, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was amended for all employees on two occasions and by letter agreement dated December 17, 2020 solely with respect to your benefits (the “Plan”). The Plan was adopted pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Performance Equity Plan (the “PEP”). As the Company’s Executive Vice President, Corporate Development and Finance, you are an eligible participant in the Plan and may be entitled to certain Performance Share Awards, depending on the achievement of the performance metrics during the Performance Period.
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 20, 2020, by and among Avangrid, Inc., NM Green Holdings, Inc. and PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”), which was subsequently amended on January 3, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). In light of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission’s December 8, 2021 ruling and the amended Merger Agreement, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to amend the Plan to restore the provision of Performance Shares under the Plan upon your Retirement.
Pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2022, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows effective as of March 1, 2022:
1.The Amendment to the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was entered between the Company and Charles Eldred on December 17, 2020 is hereby rescinded.
2.Solely as it pertains to Charles Eldred, the fourth bullet point (out of 11 bullet points in the Section) under the “Other Provisions” Section of the First Amendment to the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
A full Performance Share Award will be provided to Mr. Eldred if he becomes Disabled during the Performance Period or if he has a Separation from Service during the Performance Period due to death, Retirement, or Impaction. Mr. Eldred will not be entitled to receive an Award under the Plan if he incurs a Separation from Service prior to the last day of the Performance Period for any reason other than as set forth

in this paragraph or due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination.
3.Solely as it pertains to Charles Eldred, the sixth bullet point (out of 11 bullet points in the Section) under the “Other Provisions” Section of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, Mr. Eldred shall be entitled to a full (rather than a prorated) Performance Share Award, calculated at the end of the Performance Period based on actual performance during the Performance Period, if he becomes Disabled or has a Separation from Service due to death, Retirement or Impaction at any time during the Performance Period.
4.Solely as it pertains to Charles Eldred, the eighth bullet point (out of 11 bullet points in the Section) under the “Other Provisions” Section of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
If an individual ceases to be an Officer during a Performance Period but remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee may pay a prorated Performance Share Award to the former Officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate as long as the individual was an Officer for at least half of the Performance Period. If Mr. Eldred ceases to be an Officer during the Performance Period and subsequently becomes Disabled or terminates employment due to death, Retirement, or Impaction, the Committee may pay a full Performance Share Award to Mr. Eldred.
5.Solely as it pertains to Charles Eldred, Section 1(b) (Performance Share Awards – Separation from Service; Forfeiture) of Attachment D (2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Terms and Conditions) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(b)    Separation from Service; Forfeiture. Unless Mr. Eldred qualifies for a full Award as described in the Plan due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, Disability, or as the result of a Separation from Service due to death, Retirement, or Impaction, or as otherwise described in the Plan, Mr. Eldred’s Award will be forfeited upon his Separation from Service prior to the end of the Performance Period.

Performance Shares shall be canceled and forfeited immediately, regardless of whether Mr. Eldred elects Retirement.
6.Solely as it pertains to Charles Eldred, Section 1(c) (Performance Share Awards – Form and Timing of Delivery of Stock) of Attachment D (2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Terms and Conditions) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

All of the Performance Shares awarded and vested pursuant to the Plan will be paid in Stock on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Performance Period ends (in other words, by March 15, 2023). The Performance Shares granted under this Plan are intended to fit within the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code.

Re:    Amendment to the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Dear Pat:

On March 30, 2020, PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was amended for all employees on two occasions and by letter agreement dated December 17, 2020 solely with respect to your benefits (the “Plan”). The Plan was adopted pursuant to the PNM Resources, Inc. 2014 Performance Equity Plan (the “PEP”). As the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, you are an eligible participant in the Plan and may be entitled to certain Performance Share Awards, depending on the achievement of the performance metrics during the Performance Period.
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 20, 2020, by and among Avangrid, Inc., NM Green Holdings, Inc. and PNM Resources, Inc. (the “Company”), which was subsequently amended on January 3, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”). In light of the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission’s December 8, 2021 ruling and the amended Merger Agreement, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to amend the Plan to restore the provision of Performance Shares under the Plan upon your Retirement.
Pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 1, 2022, the Company hereby amends the Plan as follows effective as of March 1, 2022:
1.The Amendment to the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was entered between the Company and Patricia K. Collawn on December 17, 2020 is hereby rescinded.
2.Solely as it pertains to Patricia K. Collawn, the fourth bullet point (out of 11 bullet points in the Section) under the “Other Provisions” Section of the First Amendment to the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
A prorated Performance Share Award will be provided to an Officer who becomes Disabled during the second half of the Performance Period or who has a Separation from Service in the second half of the Performance Period due to death, Retirement, or Impaction. A prorated Performance Share Award will not be paid to an Officer who becomes Disabled or incurs a Separation from Service for any of these reasons

during the first half of the Performance Period. If an Officer incurs a Separation from Service prior to the last day of the Performance Period for any reason other than as set forth in this paragraph or due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, the Officer will not be entitled to receive an Award.
3.Solely as it pertains to Patricia K. Collawn, the eighth bullet point (out of 11 bullet points in the Section) under the “Other Provisions” Section of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
If an individual ceases to be an Officer during a Performance Period but remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee may pay a prorated Performance Share Award to the former Officer on such terms and conditions as the Committee deems to be appropriate as long as the individual was an Officer for at least half of the Performance Period. If an individual ceases to be an Officer during the Performance Period and subsequently becomes Disabled or terminates employment due to death, Impaction, or Retirement, the Committee may pay a prorated Performance Share Award to the former Officer, provided the individual was an Officer for at least half of the Performance Period.
4.Solely as it pertains to Patricia K. Collawn, Section 1(b) (Performance Share Awards – Separation from Service; Forfeiture) of Attachment D (2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan Terms and Conditions) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(b)    Separation from Service; Forfeiture. Unless an Officer qualifies for a full or prorated Award as described in the Plan due to a Qualifying Change in Control Termination, Disability during the second half of the Performance Period or as the result of a Separation from Service during the second half of the Performance Period due to death, Impaction, or Retirement, or as otherwise described in the Plan, the Officer’s Award will be forfeited upon the Officer’s Separation from Service prior to the end of the Performance Period. If the Company terminates an Officer’s employment for Cause during or following the expiration of the Performance Period, all vested and unvested Performance Shares shall be canceled and forfeited immediately, regardless of whether the Officer elects Retirement.

In addition, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will not solicit business for or in connection with a Competing Business from any individual or entity which may have been solicited by Executive on behalf of Company.

“Company Customer” shall include (1) any current customer of Company; (2) any former customer of Company whose business with Company ceased less than six months before the date of such solicitation; or (3) any prospective customer of Company which Executive was involved in soliciting or which Executive was aware that Company was soliciting. “Company Customer” also shall include, in addition to the corporate or entity customer itself, the individual representative of the corporate or entity customer and his or her successor or equivalent within the organizational subdivision of the corporate or entity customer on behalf of which he or she patronized Company, any organizational subdivision of the corporate or entity customer on behalf of which such individual representative has patronized Company, and any organizational subdivision of the corporate or entity customer referred to Executive by such individual representative.
3.NON-SOLICITATION OF COMPANY EMPLOYEES. Executive acknowledges that Company has a legitimate protectable interest in maintaining a stable and undisrupted workforce. Executive agrees that for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or on behalf of any other person, entity, or organization, and whether through Executive’s own efforts or through the efforts of another person or entity employ, solicit for employment, or otherwise seek to employ or retain any employees of the Company who were employed with the Company at any time in the six months prior to Executive’s termination of employment from the Company (“Company Employee”), or in any way assist or facilitate any such employment, solicitation, or retention effort.

The right to an injunction shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy available to Company for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.
Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the provisions of the Restrictive Covenants contained herein are reasonable as to time and geographical area and do not place any unreasonable burden upon Executive, (2) the general public will not be harmed as a result of enforcement of these Restrictive Covenants, and (3) Executive understands and hereby agrees to each and every term and condition of the Restrictive Covenants set forth in this Agreement.

Such proprietary information includes, without limitation, any written, oral, electronic or any other form of information including the following: (1) past, present and future customer lists, consultant lists, and customer information as compiled by Company, including proposals for services, pricing, customer contact information, customer lists, sale and contract terms and conditions, contract expirations, and other compiled customer information; (2) Company’s own internal practices, procedures, and strategies; (3) Company’s financial condition and financial results of operation; (4) credit information and technical environments concerning Company or Company’s clients; (5) supply of material information, including sources and costs; (6) information in any form relating to Trade Secrets (as defined below), Intellectual Property (as defined below), confidential information, ideas, designs, products, descriptions, parts, test data, reports, recommendations, the Company’s research and development, strategic planning, finance, marketing, and promotional activities and strategies, whether now existing, or planned, developed, or made available anytime in the future to the Company; (7) acquisition plans and other strategic plans; (8) all information which is designated as confidential, which the Executive has a reasonable basis to consider confidential or which is treated by the Company as confidential, including confidential or proprietary information from third parties, Company Customers, or Company vendors; and (9) any and all information that has independent economic value to the Company, that is not generally known to and not readily ascertainable by proper means by an individual or entity who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use (all of the foregoing shall be deemed “Proprietary Information” for purposes of this Agreement).

Executive acknowledges and agrees that all Intellectual Property, whether the same is derived from the use of Proprietary Information or otherwise developed or conceived of by Executive, shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of Company.

The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any other Financing Agreement to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, Bonds directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.
SECTION 13.    REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.
This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at either Closing (except the Bonds themselves) and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 13 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Bonds from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
SECTION 14.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
For the purposes of this Section 14, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser, as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser, any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, or any Person from whom such disclosure would, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, violate a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any Subsidiary, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Person from whom such disclosure would, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, violate a duty of confidentiality to the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Bonds); (ii) its auditors, financial
    -18-

Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement
advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 14; (iii) any other holder of any Bond; (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Bond or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 14); (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 14); (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser; (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio; or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser; (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process; (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party; or (z) if an Event of Default or Bond Repurchase Event has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine, such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Bonds, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Purchaser or Holder is compelled to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to clause (viii)(w) (except where disclosure of the purchase of the Bonds is to be made to any supervisory or regulatory body during the normal course of its exercise of its regulatory or supervisory function over such Purchaser and consistent with such Purchaser’s usual practice), (viii)(x) or (viii)(y) of the preceding sentence, such Purchaser or Holder shall, so long as no Default, Event of Default or Bond Repurchase Event has occurred and is continuing, use its reasonable best efforts to give the Company prompt notice of such pending disclosure and, to the extent practicable, the opportunity to seek a protective order or to pursue such further legal action as may be necessary to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall require any holder of Bonds to take any action that would cause it to be in violation of any law, rule, regulation, court or regulatory authority order, subpoena or other legal process. Each holder of a Bond, by its acceptance of a Bond, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to, the benefits of this Section 14 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Bond of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying this Section 14.
In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Bond is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 14, this Section 14 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Company, this Section 14 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.
The obligations under this Section 14 will survive the payment or transfer of any Bond, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreement, and the termination of this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement.

Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement
SECTION 15.    SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.
Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Bonds that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 15), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Bonds then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 15), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Bonds under this Agreement.
SECTION 16.    MISCELLANEOUS.
    Section 16.1.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Bond) whether so expressed or not.
    Section 16.2.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
    Section 16.3.    Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
    Section 16.4.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement and the documents delivered in connection with this Agreement (other than the Bonds). Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement and such other documents (other than
    -20-

Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement
the Bonds) by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the other documents (other than the Bonds) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Company, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Purchaser shall request manually signed counterpart signatures to this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable.
    Section 16.5.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
    Section 16.6.    Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Bonds. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
    (b)    The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Bonds in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 16.6(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 16.7 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.
    (c)    Nothing in this Section 16.6 shall affect the right of any holder of a Bond to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Bonds may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
    -21-

Texas-New Mexico Power Company        Bond Purchase Agreement
    (d)    THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BONDS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

Any 2022 Bond paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no 2022 Bond shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any 2022 Bond.
Section 2.04    Purchase of Bonds. The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding 2022 Bonds except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the 2022 Bonds in accordance with this [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture and the 2022 Bonds or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company pro rata to the Holders of all 2022 Bonds at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each Holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least ten (10) Business Days. If the Holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining Holders of 2022 Bonds of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by Holders of 2022 Bonds of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining Holder at least five (5) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all 2022 Bonds acquired by it or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of 2022 Bonds pursuant to this
-12-


[Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture and no 2022 Bonds may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such 2022 Bonds.
Section 2.05    Make-Whole Amount.
Make-Whole Amount means, with respect to any 2022 Bond, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such 2022 Bond over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero; provided further that the Make-Whole Amount shall equal zero if such prepayment occurs on or after [November 12, 2051]/[April 28, 2032]. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
Called Principal means, with respect to any 2022 Bond, the principal of such 2022 Bond that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.
Discounted Value means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2022 Bond, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the 2022 Bonds is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
Reinvestment Yield means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2022 Bond, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the 2022 Bond.
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2022 Bond, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a
-13-


term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable 2022 Bond.
Remaining Average Life means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2022 Bond, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the 2022 Bonds, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.
Settlement Date means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2022 Bond, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.07 or is declared to be due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Original Indenture.
Section 2.06    Change in Control.
(a)Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within thirty (30) Business Days after the occurrence of any Change in Control, give written notice (the Change in Control Notice) of such Change in Control to each Holder of 2022 Bonds, with a copy to the Trustee. Such Change in Control Notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay the 2022 Bonds as described in Section 2.06(b) hereof and shall be accompanied by the certificate described in Section 2.06(e).
(b)Offer to Prepay Bonds. The offer to prepay 2022 Bonds contemplated by Section 2.06(a) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 2.06, all, but not less than all, the 2022 Bonds held by each Holder (in this case only, “Holder” in respect of any 2022 Bond registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date (which shall be a Business Day) specified in such Change in Control Notice (the Proposed Prepayment Date). Such date shall be not fewer than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice.
(c)Acceptance; Rejection. Any Holder of 2022 Bonds may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 2.06 by causing a notice of such acceptance or
-14-


rejection to be delivered to the Company not fewer than then ten (10) days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a Holder of 2022 Bonds to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such Holder.
(d)Prepayment. Prepayment of the 2022 Bonds to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be at one-hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the 2022 Bonds together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon but without any Make-Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.
(e)Company Certificate. Each Change in Control Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.06(a) shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer and dated the date of delivery of the Change in Control Notice, stating:  (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 2.06; (iii) the principal amount of each 2022 Bond offered to be prepaid (which shall be one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal balance of each such 2022 Bond); (iv) the amount of accrued interest that would be due and payable on each 2022 Bond offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this Section 2.06 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of notice have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, a general description of the events that resulted in, and date of occurrence of, the Change in Control.
Section 2.07    Bond Repurchase Event.
On the Bond Repurchase Date, the Company shall repurchase (the Bond Repurchase Requirement) the 2022 Bonds for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal amount of 2022 Bonds then Outstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the Bond Repurchase Date with respect to such principal amount (the Bond Repurchase Amount). On the Bond Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Bond Repurchase Amount and the Trustee shall pay such amount as soon as practicable after receipt thereof to the Holders of 2022 Bonds. Payment of a Bond Repurchase Amount shall be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the principal of, and Make-Whole Amount, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2022 Bonds.
The Company’s obligation to satisfy a Bond Repurchase Requirement shall be mandatory upon the occurrence of a Bond Repurchase Event.
Any 2022 Bonds surrendered to the Trustee in connection with a Bond Repurchase Requirement shall promptly be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.09 of the Original Indenture.

For purposes of the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture and this Security, the term “interest” shall be deemed to include interest provided for in the first and second immediately preceding sentences.

Principal of, and Make-Whole Amount (if any) and interest on this Security are payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in Phoenix, Arizona, as Paying Agent for the Company; provided however, that the Company may at any time, by notice to the Holder of this Security, change the place of payment so long as the place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such city or the principal Corporate Trust Office of a bank or trust company in such city and further provided that if the Holder of this Security shall have specified by written notice to the Company an address and reasonable method for such payment pursuant to and in compliance with Section 2.09(b) of the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall make such payment at the address and by the reasonable method set forth in such written notice.
This Security is subject to (1) prepayment at the option of the Company in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, (2) prepayment in whole at the option of the Holder hereof in connection with a Change in Control and (3) mandatory repurchase in whole upon the occurrence of a Bond Repurchase Event, in each case at the times, in the amounts and upon the terms specified in Sections 2.03, 2.06 and 2.07, respectively, of the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (herein called the “First Mortgage Bonds”), unlimited in aggregate principal amount, of the series hereinafter specified, all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by an indenture, dated as of March 23, 2009, executed by the Company to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (ultimate successor as trustee to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”) (said indenture being herein called the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto (including the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture hereinafter referred to) reference is hereby made for a description of the properties mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the registered owners of the First Mortgage Bonds and of the Trustee in respect thereto, and the terms and conditions upon which the First Mortgage Bonds are, and are to be, secured, and for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the First Mortgage Bonds and of the terms upon which the First Mortgage Bonds are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. To the extent permitted by, and as provided in, the Indenture, modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any indenture supplemental thereto, and of the rights and obligations of the Company and of the Holders of the First Mortgage Bonds may be made, in certain cases without the consent of the Holders of the First Mortgage Bonds, as set forth in Section 14.01 of the Indenture, and otherwise with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of not less than a majority in amount of the First Mortgage Bonds entitled to vote then outstanding, at a meeting of Holders of the First Mortgage Bonds called and held as provided in the Indenture, or by an affirmative vote of not less than a majority in amount of the First Mortgage Bonds of any series entitled to vote then outstanding and affected by such modifications or alterations, in case one or more but less than all of the series of First Mortgage Bonds then outstanding under the Indenture are so affected; provided, however, that no such modifications or alterations shall be made which will affect the terms of payment of the principal of, or interest on, this Security, which are unconditional. The First Mortgage Bonds may be issued in series, for various principal sums, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. This Security is one of a series designated as [“4.13% First Mortgage Bonds, due May 12, 2052, Series 2022A”]/[“3.81% First Mortgage Bonds, due July 28, 2032, Series 2022C”]of the Company, issued under and secured by the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto and described in an indenture supplemental thereto (herein called the “[Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of [May 12]/[July 28], 2022, executed by the Company to the Trustee.
The Company, at its option, may redeem all, or from time to time, any part of the First Mortgage Bonds of this series on not less than ten (10) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid as provided in the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of the principal amount so prepaid plus the Make-Whole Amount as defined in the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture and upon the other terms and conditions therein and in the Indenture provided.

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of the First Mortgage Bonds of this series.
In case an Event of Default shall occur, the principal of all the First Mortgage Bonds at any such time Outstanding under the Indenture may be declared or may become due and payable, upon the conditions and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The Indenture provides that such declaration may in certain events be waived by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the First Mortgage Bonds outstanding. In the event of any declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the First Mortgage Bonds, the amount due and payable on this Security (and for all outstanding First Mortgage Bonds of this series) shall consist of the unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in Section 2.05 of the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture), which Make-Whole Amount shall be determined as of the date of such declaration.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or the interest on, this Security, or for any claim based hereon or on the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, or against any stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, of the Company, as such, or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, whether for amounts unpaid on stock subscriptions or by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability, whether at common law, in equity, by any constitution, statute or otherwise, of incorporators, stockholders, directors or officers being released by every owner hereof by the acceptance of this First Mortgage Bond and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, and being likewise released by the terms of the Indenture.
This Security is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by duly authorized attorney, on the books of the Company to be kept for that purpose as provided for in the Indenture upon surrender and cancellation of this Security and on presentation of a duly executed written instrument of transfer, and thereupon a new Security of the same series of First Mortgage Bonds, of the same aggregate principal amount and in authorized denominations will be issued to the transferee or transferees in exchange therefor; and this Security, with or without others of like series, may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new First Mortgage Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate principal amount; all upon payment of the charges and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.
A-7


This Security shall be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Indenture and the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture.
This Security shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (including without limitation Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law or any successor to such statute), except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act would be applicable were the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and except to the extent that the law of any other jurisdiction shall mandatorily govern the creation, perfection, priority or enforcement of the Lien of the Indenture, as supplemented and amended by all indentures supplemental thereto (including the [Fifteenth]/[Seventeenth] Supplemental Indenture), or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property.
