any other distributions (except for payments required pursuant to the terms of intercompany indebtedness) to us or to otherwise pay amounts due with respect to the Senior Notes or to make specific funds available for such payments. Various financing
arrangements, charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.&nbsp;Specifically, the NMPRC has placed certain
restrictions on the ability of PNM to pay dividends to us, including that PNM cannot pay dividends that cause its debt rating to fall below investment grade. The NMPRC has also restricted PNM from paying dividends in any year, as determined on a
rolling four-quarter basis, in excess of net earnings without prior NMPRC approval. PNM is permitted to pay dividends to us from prior equity contributions made by us. Additionally, PNM has various financial covenants that limit the transfer of
assets, through dividends or other means and the Federal Power Act imposes certain restrictions on dividends paid by public utilities, including that dividends cannot be paid from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">paid-in</FONT> capital. See

or indirectly (&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). The rules applicable to DTC and its Direct and Indirect Participants are on file with the SEC. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Purchases of the Senior Notes under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, who will receive a credit for the Senior Notes on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each
actual purchaser of each note (&#147;Beneficial Owner&#148;) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants&#146; records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners
are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers
of ownership interests in the Senior Notes are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership
interests in the Senior Notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Senior Notes is discontinued. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">To
facilitate subsequent transfers, all Senior Notes deposited by Direct Participants with the Trustee on behalf of DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other name as may be requested by an
authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Senior Notes with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial
Owners of the Senior Notes; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Senior Notes are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain
responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Conveyance of notices and other communications
by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all the Senior Notes

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Senior Notes unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC&#146;s MMI
Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the Company as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose
accounts the Senior Notes are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Payments of
redemption proceeds, principal of and interest on the Senior Notes will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146;
accounts, upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Company or its agent on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners
will be governed by standing instructions </FONT></P>

allow, and any such dealers may reallow, a concession to certain other dealers not to exceed 0.15% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes. After the initial offering of the Senior Notes, the offering prices and other selling terms may from time

of the Senior Notes, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Senior Notes. Specifically, the underwriters may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in
the Senior Notes for the underwriters. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of the Senior Notes, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the Senior Notes in the open market. Finally, the underwriters may reclaim selling
concessions allowed to a dealer for distributing the Senior Notes in the offering, if they repurchase previously distributed Senior Notes in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities
may stabilize or maintain the market price for the Senior Notes above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. </FONT></P>

under an indenture dated as of March&nbsp;15, 2005 between us and MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Union Bank, N.A.) (ultimate successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as trustee (the &#145;&#145;Trustee&#146;&#146;). This indenture, as it
may be amended and supplemented from time to time, is referred to in this prospectus as the &#145;&#145;Indenture.&#146;&#146; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have
summarized selected provisions of the Indenture below. You should read this summary together with the Indenture, any supplemental indentures or other documents establishing the debt securities for a complete understanding of the provisions that may
be important to you. The following description of the debt securities and the Indenture is qualified by reference to the Indenture, which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
References to certain sections in parentheses below are references to sections of the Indenture. Whenever particular provisions or defined terms in the Indenture are referred to under this &#145;&#145;Description of Debt Securities,&#146;&#146; such
provisions or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein. The Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. You should refer to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 for provisions that apply to the debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is no requirement under the Indenture that our future issuances of debt securities be issued exclusively under the Indenture and we will
be free to employ other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those included in the Indenture or applicable to one or more issuances of debt securities in connection with future issuances of other debt securities.
Nonetheless, the debt securities registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will only be issued either pursuant to the Indenture or pursuant to an indenture (or a form thereof) that is filed with the SEC in
connection with the offering of the debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture provides that the applicable debt securities will be issued in one or
more series, may be issued at various times, may have differing maturity dates and may bear interest at differing rates. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, we may reopen a series,
without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series for issuances of additional debt securities of that series. Unless otherwise described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Indenture does not limit the aggregate
amount of debt, including secured debt, we or our subsidiaries may incur. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture does not currently contain any restriction on the
payment of dividends or any financial covenants. However, the supplemental indenture for any series of debt securities may contain such restrictions. The prospectus supplement related to such debt securities will describe such restrictions and the
protections, if any, that such restrictions provide the holders of the debt securities in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving us that may adversely affect the holders of the debt securities. </P>

direct unsecured general obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsubordinated debt. As of December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2017, PNMR, exclusive of its subsidiaries, had $565.7&nbsp;million of outstanding short-term and long-term debt that
would have ranked equally with the debt securities. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a holding company and derive substantially all of our income from our operating
subsidiaries. As a result, our cash flows and consequent ability to service our debt, including the debt securities, are dependent upon the earnings of our subsidiaries and distribution of those earnings to us and other payments or distributions of
funds by our subsidiaries to us, including payments of principal and interest under intercompany indebtedness. Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any
dividends or make any other distributions (except for payments required pursuant to the terms of intercompany indebtedness) to us or to otherwise pay amounts due with respect to the debt securities or to make specific funds available for such
payments. Various financing arrangements, charter provisions and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The debt securities
will be effectively subordinated to the claims of all creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries. In the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization of the business of one of our subsidiaries,
creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the debt securities. As of December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2017, our subsidiary PNM had $11.5&nbsp;million aggregate stated
value of cumulative preferred stock outstanding and $1,705.7&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of short-term and long-term debt outstanding, all of which was unsecured. As of December&nbsp;31, 2017, our subsidiary TNMP had $465.5&nbsp;million
