Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendments to and Restatements of PNMR Credit Agreements
On May 20, 2022, PNM Resources, Inc., a New Mexico corporation (“PNMR”) entered into a $1.0 billion Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan”) amending and restating its $1.0 billion delayed-draw term loan agreement among PNMR, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as Administrative Agent. The PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan is effective as of May 20, 2022. The PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan extends the maturity date to May 18, 2025 and includes other administrative updates. As of the date hereof, PNMR had $1.0 billion outstanding under the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan.
PNMR must pay interest on its borrowing under the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan from time-to-time following funding and must repay all amounts on or before the maturity date.
The PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan includes customary covenants, including a covenant that requires the maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio of less than or equal to 0.70 to 1.00. The PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan also includes customary events of default, a cross default provision, and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, Wells Fargo may declare the obligations outstanding under the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan to be due and payable. Such acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.
As previously disclosed, on October 20, 2020, PNMR, Avangrid, Inc. (“Avangrid”), and NM Green Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into PNMR (the “Merger”), with PNMR surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid. The PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan provides that substantially concurrently with the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, PNMR will assign to Avangrid all of its rights, duties, obligations and liabilities under the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan and Avangrid will assume from PNMR, as its direct and primary obligation, the payment and performance of all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of PNMR under the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan pursuant to an amendment and restatement of the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan in the form of a second amended and restated credit agreement attached to the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan.
The above description of the PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire PNMR Amended and Restated Term Loan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 20, 2022, PNMR entered into a Tenth Amendment to and Restatement of Credit Agreement (the “PNMR Revolver”) amending and restating its $300 million revolving credit agreement, among PNMR, the lenders party thereto (the “PNMR Revolver Lenders”) and Wells Fargo, as Administrative Agent. The PNMR Revolver is effective as of May 20, 2022. The PNMR Revolver now has a maturity date of October 31, 2024, unless the maturity date is extended at the request of PNMR and with the agreement of the PNMR Revolver Lenders, subject to certain terms and conditions, and reflects other administrative updates.
The PNMR Revolver provides PNMR with a revolving credit facility for borrowing up to $300 million and includes customary covenants, including a covenant that requires the maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio of less than or equal to .70 to 1.0. The PNM Revolver also includes customary events of default, and has a cross default provision and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, the administrative agent may, or upon the request and direction of lenders holding a specified percentage of the commitments or loans shall, terminate the obligations of the lenders to make loans under the PNMR Revolver and/or declare the obligations outstanding under the PNMR Revolver to be due and payable. Such termination and acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.

The PNM Revolver is effective as of May 20, 2022. The PNM Revolver now has a maturity date of October 31, 2024, unless the maturity date is extended at the request of PNM and with the agreement of the PNM Revolver Lenders, subject to certain terms and conditions, and reflects other administrative updates.
The PNM Revolver provides PNM with a revolving credit facility for borrowing up to $400 million and includes customary covenants, including a covenant that requires the maintenance of a consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio of less than or equal to .65 to 1.0. The PNM Revolver also includes customary events of default, and has a cross default provision and a change of control provision.
