Additional information concerning financing activities, including a TNMP cash-flow hedge that establishes a fixed interest rate on a variable rate loan, is contained in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2013 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Financing Activities

On January 8, 2014, PNM entered into a new $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “PNM New Mexico Credit Facility”) by and among PNM, the lenders identified therein, U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and BOKF, NA dba Bank of Albuquerque, as Syndication Agent. The nine participating lenders are all banks that have a significant presence in New Mexico and PNM’s service territory or are headquartered in New Mexico. The PNM New Mexico Credit Facility expires on January 8, 2018 and contains covenants and conditions similar to those in the PNM Revolving Credit Facility.

On March 5, 2014, PNM entered into a new $175.0 million Term Loan Agreement (the “PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement”) among PNM and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Lender and Administrative Agent. On March 5, 2014, PNM used a portion of the funds borrowed under the PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement to repay all amounts outstanding under PNM’s existing $75.0 million PNM Term Loan Agreement. PNM also used the funds to repay other short-term amounts outstanding. The PNM Term Loan Agreement would otherwise have terminated on October 21, 2014. There were no prepayment penalties paid in connection with the termination of the PNM Term Loan Agreement. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement bears interest at a variable rate, which was 1.11% at March 31, 2014, must be repaid on or before September 4, 2015, and is reflected as long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including requirements to not exceed a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio and customary events of default. The PNM 2014 Term Loan Agreement has a cross default provision and a change of control provision.

The existing TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement has an outstanding balance of $50.0 million that must be repaid by June 30, 2014. On December 9, 2013, TNMP entered into an agreement (the “TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement”), which provides that TNMP will issue $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.03% first mortgage bonds, due 2024 (the “Series 2014A Bonds”). The terms of the TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement provide that, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, TNMP will issue the Series 2014A Bonds on or about June 27, 2014. TNMP anticipates using $50.0 million of the proceeds from the issuance to repay the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement at its maturity and using the remaining proceeds to reduce short-term debt under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility and/or TNMP’s intercompany borrowings from PNMR. In accordance with GAAP, borrowings under the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement, which are due on June 30, 2014, are reflected as being long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet since the TNMP 2013 Bond Purchase Agreement demonstrates TNMP’s ability and intent to re-finance the TNMP 2011 Term Loan Agreement on a long-term basis.

Short-term Debt

PNMR has a revolving credit financing capacity of $300.0 million under the PNMR Revolving Credit Facility. PNM has a revolving credit financing capacity of $400.0 million under the PNM Revolving Credit Facility. Both of these facilities currently expire on October 31, 2018. TNMP has a revolving credit financing capacity of $75.0 million under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility that is secured by $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds and matures on September 18, 2018. PNM also has the PNM New Mexico Credit Facility, a $50.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on January 8, 2018. At March 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under any of these facilities and the weighted average interest rate was 1.01% for borrowings outstanding under the twelve-month PNMR Term Loan Agreement, which matures in December 2014. Short-term debt outstanding consisted of:
