INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Principles
Our Board is elected by shareholders to oversee management to assure we optimize long-term shareholder value by operating in an ethical and forthright manner and responsibly addressing the concerns of our various constituencies. In recognition of the importance of governance to the proper management of the Company, the Board adopted a consolidated Corporate Governance Principles document so that investors, employees, customers, regulators, and the community may be aware of the policies followed by the Company. These principles have been approved by the full Board after analysis of policy considerations and peer benchmarks. With the goal of incorporating evolving best corporate governance principles, the Board requires the Nominating Committee to review the principles at least annually and recommend changes from time to time for consideration and adoption by the full Board. The Corporate Governance Principles document can be found on PNM Resources’ website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics, Do the Right Thing: Principles of Business Conduct, which applies to all directors, officers (including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer), and employees. Do the Right Thing is available on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx, and also available in print to any shareholder who requests it by writing to the Ethics and Governance Department, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Avenue SW, MS-1285, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289. We post any amendments to or waivers from our code of ethics requiring disclosure under applicable rules with respect to any of the Company’s executive officers and directors, within four business days of such amendment or waiver on our website at www.pnmresources.com. We have also adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct providing our suppliers with a resource setting out our expectations for our business relationships. The Supplier Code of Conduct is available on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.

Concerns relating to financial statement disclosures, accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters, or other matters involving violations of law are handled in accordance with the complaint procedures adopted by the Audit Committee. These procedures are posted on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx. We have established an anonymous, confidential hotline through which employees and others may report concerns about our business practices.
Director Independence
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Principles, the Board has affirmatively determined that all current directors and the director nominees are independent of PNM Resources and its management with the exception of Patricia K. Collawn. Ms. Collawn is considered an inside director because of her employment as the CEO of the Company.
In determining the independence of the non-employee members of the Board, the Board examined all direct and indirect relationships of these non-employee directors with the Company and determined that all such relationships complied with the specific independence criteria under applicable law and regulations, including the NYSE listing standards. In addition, the only direct or indirect relationships between PNM Resources and each current non-employee director nominee consist of service on the Board or a Board committee and being a shareholder or a retail utility customer of the Company.
Majority Voting for Directors
Our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide for the annual election of directors. As discussed under Question 12 on page 80, each director must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election.
Our Corporate Governance Principles also provide that any nominee in an uncontested election who does not receive the required affirmative majority vote must promptly submit his or her resignation for consideration by the Nominating Committee, which shall make a recommendation to the full Board within a reasonable period of time. The director whose resignation is under consideration will abstain from participating in the Nominating Committee’s recommendation and the Board’s decision on this matter. If a resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director may continue to serve. Directors added to the Board during the course of the year will stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders.
In addition to the annual election of directors, the Board’s accountability to shareholders is enhanced by:
•the rigorous nomination process conducted by the Nominating Committee (which includes consideration of director candidates proposed by shareholders as described further on page 15); and
•the Board’s policy that a substantial majority of the Board be independent and that the Audit, Compensation and HC and Nominating Committees consist entirely of independent directors and the Finance Committee shall be composed entirely of non-employee directors, a majority of whom are independent.
Director Service Policy
Our Director Service Policy set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles provides that directors will not serve more than 12 years on the Board absent certain conditions. The policy requires directors serving more than 12 years, employee directors who leave the Company and directors who undergo a significant change in their business or professional career to submit resignations to the Board for acceptance at such time as the Board deems appropriate. Term limits for Directors can be found on page 7 of the Corporate Governance Principles, available on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.
Succession Planning
Our Nominating Committee regularly assesses whether the composition of the Board reflects the knowledge, skills, expertise, and diversity appropriate to oversee the management of our Company.
Nominations Policy for Directors
Our Board recognizes that the contribution of the Board depends not only on the character and capabilities of the directors individually, but also on their collective strengths. Our Nominating Committee recognizes the importance of recruiting a well-balanced board, which reflects the interests of our shareholders, customers, employees, regulators and the communities we serve. The Nominating Committee does consider the diversity of the Board (including age, ethnicity, geographic representation, gender, experience, and education) in identifying nominees for a balanced board with varied expertise relevant to our electric
7

energy business. For example, our current members reflect the Board’s successful efforts to recruit female (4), African-American (1) and Hispanic (1) nominees, as well as candidates from Texas (2) and New Mexico (1) (to reflect the geographic market of our utility subsidiaries, PNM and TNMP). Two candidates joined the Board in 2019 with significant environmental, climate change and sustainability expertise highly relevant to transforming to a cleaner energy portfolio and enhancing the reliability and resiliency of the grid. The Board’s gender diversity has been recognized by 50/50 Women on Boards, a leading global education and advocacy campaign driving the movement toward gender and diversity on corporate boards, as having a balanced board.
Shareholder Recommendations of Directors
Any shareholder may recommend potential nominees to the Nominating Committee for consideration for membership on the Board. Recommendations can be made by sending a written statement of the qualifications of the recommended individual to the Corporate Secretary, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Ave. SW, MS-1245, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289. As discussed on page 15, the Nominating Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders on the same basis as it evaluates other candidates.
Proxy Access
Our bylaws permit any shareholder (or group of no more than 20 shareholders) owning three percent or more of our common stock, continuously for at least three years, to nominate up to an aggregate limit of one candidate or 20 percent of our Board (whichever is greater) for inclusion in the proxy statement. For the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders notice of such nominees must be received no earlier than November 23, 2024 and no later than the close of business on December 23, 2024. Notice should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Ave. SW, MS-1245, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289. Requirements for such nominations and nominees are detailed in our bylaws, which are available on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.
Board Leadership Structure and Lead Director
We believe the Company and our shareholders are best served by a Board that has the flexibility to establish a leadership structure that fits the needs of the Company at a particular point in time. Under our Corporate Governance Principles and bylaws, the Board has the authority to combine or separate the positions of Chair and CEO, as well as to determine whether, if the positions are separated, the Chair should be an employee, non-employee, or an independent director. The Board has separated the two offices on four occasions since the 1980s.
The Board believes the most effective leadership structure for the Company at this time is one with a combined Chair and CEO coupled with an independent lead director. The Chair is Patricia K. Collawn, our CEO. Combining the roles of Chair and CEO: (1) enhances the Board’s ability to provide strategic direction and communicate clearly and effectively with management; and (2) avoids creating a structure that would effectively duplicate the work of our lead director. Ms. Collawn’s knowledge of our utilities and of the significant risks, challenges, and opportunities for our industry, including climate change, technological innovation, cybersecurity, and regulatory outcomes, makes her best suited to serve as Chair and CEO and provide strong, unified leadership for PNM Resources. As Chair, Ms. Collawn also brings contemporary industry insights to the Board as a result of her previous leadership role in leading industry organizations, such as EPRI and EEI, both of which are instrumental in addressing policy, operational, and technological issues facing the utility industry.
The position of lead director and role of our Board committees (comprised entirely of independent directors) are designed to promote strong, independent oversight of our management and affairs. Our lead director, Norman P. Becker, performs the following functions:
•approves Board meeting agendas and information sent to the Board;
•approves meeting schedules to ensure sufficient time for discussion of all agenda items;
•chairs all meetings of the independent directors, including executive sessions of the independent directors, and presides at all meetings of the Board in the absence of the Chair;
•works with committee chairs to ensure coordinated coverage of Board responsibilities;
•ensures the Board is organized properly and functions effectively and independent of management;
•in consultation with the Board, is authorized to retain independent advisors and consultants on behalf of the Board;
•facilitates the annual self-evaluation of the Board and Board committees;
•serves as a liaison for communications between (1) management and the independent directors, and (2) the Board, our shareholders, and other interested parties; and
•performs such other duties as the Board may from time to time delegate.
8

The lead director is elected by the independent directors, who review the role and functions of the lead director on an annual basis. The lead independent director received an annual retainer of $30,000, in addition to his ordinary director compensation, for the additional services the lead director provides.
The lead director, with the above described duties, facilitates independent oversight of management. The balance of the lead director and combined Chair and CEO positions ensures that the Board receives the information, experience and direction to effectively govern. The Board established this leadership structure because the Board believes it is effective, efficient, appropriate to PNM Resources’ size and complexity, and represents a cost-effective allocation of responsibilities.
The Board has also determined that the cost and efficiency benefits of its leadership structure do not result in control over both management and corporate governance being overly invested in one person. The Board is confident that, as currently constituted, it will provide ample counterbalance to a combined Chair and CEO and that it continues to provide suitable independent oversight of management. The independent directors on the Board are all accomplished professionals possessing substantial relevant experience to oversee our regulated utility businesses. The independent directors meet in separate sessions, excluding management, at each regular meeting of the Board. Any director has the right to submit items to be heard at any Board meeting. Finally, the independent directors outnumber the one non-independent director, the combined Chair and CEO, by a large majority.
Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Our management is responsible for managing risk and bringing to the Board’s attention the most significant risks facing the Company. The Board has oversight responsibility for the processes established to identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor these risks. In addition, the Board integrates these processes with its ongoing strategic oversight responsibilities. Board oversight includes consideration of the various challenges and opportunities presented by the Company’s risks, plans to mitigate the risks, and the impact these risks may have on our strategy.
Throughout the year, the Board reviews information regarding the potential significant risks facing the Company. Each significant strategic risk is overseen by the full Board in order to facilitate more effective integrated risk and strategy oversight. For many years, management has identified and reported to the full Board on multiple risks and opportunities related to climate change, including potential environmental regulation, transformation of PNM’s generation portfolio, technological innovation, and the wider power sector transformation. In addition, the full Board approves certain Company investments in environmental equipment and grid modernization technologies. In contemplating new investments and against a backdrop of a transforming and increasingly interconnected industry, the Board also considers risks related to cybersecurity. Other significant risks overseen by the full Board include safety, customer experience, and personnel and infrastructure security.
The Board also allocates responsibility for oversight of other risks among the committees of the Board. For example, the Finance Committee reviews and recommends to the full Board decisions regarding capital structure and oversees our management of risks associated with capital availability, liquidity, and costs thereof. In addition, the Finance Committee monitors the execution of our energy supply, sales, and hedging programs. The Audit Committee plays a central role in overseeing the integrity of our financial statements and reviewing and approving the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors. Additionally, the Board has adopted a Cyber Risk Policy, which can be found on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx, and provided for Audit Committee oversight of management’s efforts to identify and mitigate cyber risk. While the full Board annually reviews the CEO succession planning process, the Nominating Committee oversees risks related to succession planning for the Board, and the Compensation and HC Committee oversees risks related to succession planning for Company officers. In addition, the Compensation and HC Committee considers risks related to the attraction and retention of talent and to the design of compensation programs and arrangements. In doing so, the Compensation and HC Committee monitors the design and administration of our overall incentive programs to ensure that they incentivize strong individual and group performance and include appropriate safeguards to avoid unintended or excessive risk-taking by our employees.
In executing its risk oversight duties, the Board can and does access extensive internal and external expertise regarding our challenges and opportunities, including those related to climate change and cybersecurity. For instance, the Board’s Chair, Ms. Collawn, previously served on the board of EPRI, a non-profit research institute engaged in researching innovative technologies and policy matters for the power industry. We are actively involved in multiple EPRI programs and have representatives on various committees of EEI focused on environmental risks and technological innovation. Such active participation in industry groups and programs has supported the development of a robust internal Environmental Management System throughout the Company. The foundation of the Environmental Management System is a screening process that allows for the review of PNM and TNMP jobs and projects before work begins to ensure protection and preservation of the environment. The Environmental Management System is supported by the Company’s Environmental Services Department’s environmental engineers, air quality
9

and natural scientists, biologists and archaeologists who prepare and oversee implementation of measures that minimize and mitigate the environmental impacts of electric utility operations.
The Board believes that its current leadership structure (i.e., combining the Chair and CEO roles, coupled with an independent lead director) enhances its ability to effectively oversee risk management. Ms. Collawn’s expertise makes her uniquely qualified to lead the Board in developing and monitoring the strategic direction of the Company. Meanwhile, the lead director, appointed by our independent directors to provide independent Board leadership, has clearly defined responsibilities designed to provide independent oversight of management on behalf of shareholders and to prevent conflicts of interest.
Communication with the Board
Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board or with a specific director may do so by writing to the Board or to the particular director and delivering the communication in person or mailing it to: Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Avenue SW, MS-1245, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289. All shareholder communications will be relayed to the Board or an appropriate committee of the Board. If the shareholder desires to communicate a concern directly with the Board without initial review by the Corporate Secretary, the concern should be submitted in writing, in a sealed envelope addressed to the Board, in care of the Corporate Secretary, with a notation indicating that it is to be opened only by the Board. The Corporate Secretary shall promptly forward the unopened envelope to the Board. From time to time, the Board may change the process for shareholder communications with the Board or its members. Please refer to our website www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance.aspx for any changes in this process.
Shareholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate directly with the lead independent director or with the non-management or independent directors as a group may do so by writing to Lead Independent Director, c/o Corporate Secretary, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Avenue SW, MS-1245, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289.
Shareholder Engagement
Investor Relations and Shareholder Services engages with institutional and retail investors, as well as the broader investment community. In addition to public events, the Company proactively looks to engage with its top shareholders identified through public filings annually, at a minimum, to discuss and gain feedback on strategic direction, financial targets, key developments and governance items. The Company experienced significant changes to its shareholder base over the course of the previously proposed Merger and following its termination, potentially impacting shareholder voting results. Engagement with new and previous shareholders continues to be welcomed and proactively initiated. Investors wishing to engage with the Company may reach out to Investor Relations and Shareholder Services at 505-241-2868.
Director Education
Our Corporate Governance Principles encourage all directors to participate in director continuing education programs. In addition, management monitors and reports to the directors significant corporate governance initiatives. The directors also receive continuing education through presentations at Board or committee meetings on insights into aspects of the Company’s business, developments in corporate governance, and legal or regulatory requirements that affect the business.
Related Person Transaction Policy
Our “Policy and Procedure Governing Related Party Transactions” is posted on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance/governance-documents.aspx. The policy provides that all transactions with executive officers, directors, director nominees or greater than 5% shareholders, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing (collectively referred to as “related persons”), where the aggregate amount involved is expected to exceed $120,000 per year, are subject to pre-approval or ratification by the Nominating Committee, or by the Board or another committee in the normal fulfillment of their respective charters and responsibilities. In determining whether to approve such transactions, the Nominating Committee will consider, among other factors, the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; the availability of other sources of comparable products or services; whether the terms are no less favorable than terms generally available in unaffiliated transactions under like circumstances; the benefit to the Company; and the aggregate value of the transaction at issue. Since January 1, 2023, we have not participated, and have no current plans to participate, in any transactions in which any related person has a material interest that would be subject to pre-approval under this policy or otherwise be reportable under applicable SEC rules.

Equity Compensation Awards Policy
The Board adopted the Equity Compensation Awards Policy to govern the granting of all forms of equity compensation. The policy provides that equity compensation awards shall only be made in compliance with the PEP and applicable laws and regulations. The PEP prohibits option repricing, incorporates, as a general rule, a “double trigger” vesting rule in connection with a change in control, and contains a “clawback” provision subjecting all awards issued under the PEP to potential forfeiture or recovery to the fullest extent called for by any clawback policy that may be adopted by the Company. For additional information on the Clawback Policy adopted in 2023, see Clawback Policy below and on page 53. The Equity Compensation Awards Policy provides that equity compensation awards are prospective only and sets forth additional good governance procedures for making equity awards when the regular schedule for the grant of equity compensation falls within a black-out period for trading in our securities under PNM Resources’ Insider Trading Policy. The Equity Compensation Awards Policy is available on our website at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.
Political Contributions, Lobbying and Governmental Communication Policies
We support an open and transparent political process and are committed to ensuring our actions reflect the Company’s strong ethical standards. We voluntarily report information related to our efforts in the “Public Policy” section of our Sustainability Report available at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/esg-reporting-and-disclosures/esg_reporting_library.aspx. In addition, our policies on communications with regulatory agencies are set forth in our Do The Right Thing: Principles of Business Conduct available at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.
Insider Trading Policy Includes No Hedging or Pledging
The Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits all employees, officers, and directors from engaging in short sales of Company securities and states that speculative trading in Company stock is considered improper and inappropriate. In addition, the policy prohibits all directors, officers, and employees from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sales contracts, or transactions that allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her Company securities. Further, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all directors and executive officers, including our NEOs, from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.
Clawback Policy
Under the Clawback Policy adopted in August 2023, and described more fully on page 53 of this proxy statement, incentive compensation awarded to all Officers is subject to recoupment if (1) an accounting restatement occurs due to material noncompliance by the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws or (2) any improper conduct by a current or former Section 16 officer or any other current or former PNMR Officer who receives any incentive compensation. In addition, (1) the PEP provides that all unvested and unpaid awards are subject to forfeiture for conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, and (2) the LTIPs and AIPs provide that a recipient will forfeit unvested and unpaid incentive compensation awards issued under the PEP for any manipulation or attempted manipulation of the performance results for personal gain at the expense of customers, shareholders, other employees or the Company.
Sustainability
We are committed to integrating sustainability into our everyday actions to help create enduring value for our shareholders, customers, and employees and the communities we serve. At PNM Resources, the term “sustainability” encompasses a broad range of important actions. It starts with our responsibility to deliver safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy to our customers and focuses on the following areas: advancement of cleaner sources of energy, including renewable energy, resulting in the significant reduction of CO 2 emissions; natural resource conservation and protection; energy efficiency; economic development and improving the quality of life in our communities; and corporate governance. Information about these activities, including details on the significant efforts PNM has made and continues to make to reduce its GHG emissions and water usage, and transform its generation portfolio to a carbon-free portfolio in accordance with the Energy Transition Act, is available in our Sustainability Report available at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/esg-reporting-and-disclosures/esg_reporting_library.aspx.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BOARD AND BOARD COMMITTEES
Board Meetings
The Chair of the Board presides at all meetings of the shareholders and of the full Board. As discussed on page 8 under “Board Leadership Structure and Lead Director,” the lead independent director chairs meetings of the independent directors and assumes other duties designed to support the Board’s independent oversight of management. The lead independent director is nominated and approved by the independent directors annually. The independent directors meet at each regular Board meeting without management present and will meet more often as the need arises. Norman P. Becker has served as the lead independent director since January 1, 2021.
In 2023, the Board met ten times, holding five regularly scheduled meetings and five specially called meeting. During 2023, all incumbent directors attended 90% of the total number of meetings of the Board and of the committees of the Board on which they served.
Directors are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and, as stated in the Corporate Governance Principles, are responsible for attending all director meetings and for reviewing materials provided in advance of each meeting. Directors are expected to actively participate in Board meetings and meetings of the committees of the Board on which they serve. All directors serving at such time attended the 2023 annual meeting held on May 9, 2023.
Board Committees and their Functions
The Board has four current standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation and HC Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Nominating Committee. All committee members are independent directors.
Each committee has a written charter that addresses the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

A shareholder wishing to nominate a candidate should forward the candidate’s name and a detailed description of the candidate’s qualifications, appropriate biographical information, and signed consent to serve to the Secretary of the Company, taking into consideration the criteria for new directors: • directors should be individuals of the highest character and integrity and have inquiring minds, vision, the ability to work well with others, and exercise good judgment; • directors should be free of any conflict of interest which would violate any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director; • directors should possess substantial and significant experience which would be of particular importance to the Company in the performance of the duties of a director; • directors should have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director; • directors should have the capacity and desire to represent the balanced, best interests of the shareholders as a whole and not primarily a special interest group or constituency; and • each director’s ownership interest should increase over time, consistent with the stock ownership guidelines and applicable insider trading restrictions, so that an appropriate amount of stock is accumulated. General Board attributes and director qualifications can also be found on page 3 of the current Corporate Governance Principles document posted at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance-documents.aspx. In addition, please see the answer to Question 27 on page 83 for information on how to submit a shareholder proposal for nomination of a director candidate in accordance with our bylaws and applicable SEC rules. As described on page 7 under Nominations Policy for Directors, the Board also considers diversity in identifying nominees for a well-balanced board with varied experience relevant to our electric energy business (and to date, has successfully recruited 7 female and/or minority candidates on our 10 member Board, including our female Chair).

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Elements of Director Compensation
The Nominating Committee recommends non-employee director compensation levels and stock ownership guidelines for review and approval by the full Board. Ms. Collawn, our Chair and CEO, is the only salaried employee serving on the Board and she receives no additional compensation for her Board service.
The general policy of the Board is to provide a reasonable director compensation package that will attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors. The Nominating Committee reviews and compares the form and amount of director compensation on an annual basis to consider trends in director compensation and to recommend a total compensation amount that approximates the median of non-employee director compensation in similarly situated utility and energy companies, such as the PNMR Peer Group described on page 51 of this proxy statement.
As discussed in the 2023 proxy statement, director compensation was increased for 2023 based on a July 2022 analysis prepared by Pay Governance showing that, despite an increase in 2022 director compensation, the total compensation levels were below the median of the PNMR Peer Group and the S&P 400 MidCap Utilities Index. Following discussion and review of the Pay Governance analysis and recommendations, in August 2022, the Nominating Committee recommended and the Board approved making the following changes to director compensation for 2023: increasing the (1) annual cash retainer from $95,000 to $100,000, (2) market value of the annual award of restricted stock rights from $125,000 to $130,000, and (3) the Finance and Nominating Committees chair retainers from $12,500 to $15,000. Thus, the 2023 annual compensation for non-employee directors consisted of the following cash and stock-based compensation:

Annual Retainer (Cash and Equity): | $100,000 in cash paid in quarterly installments Restricted stock rights(1) with a market value of $130,000(2)
Lead Director Retainer: | $30,000 paid in quarterly installments
Audit Committee Chair Retainer: | $15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Compensation and HC Committee Chair Retainer: | $15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Finance Committee Chair Retainer: | $15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Nominating Committee Chair Retainer: | $15,000 paid in quarterly installments
Supplemental Meeting Fees: | $1,500 - payable for and after each meeting of a particular committee or the Board, as the case may be, attended by a committee member or non-employee director, in excess of eight committee or full Board meetings annually.

(1) Restricted stock rights granted under the PEP for the 2023 annual retainer vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to vesting acceleration upon certain events, including disability. These awards are typically made at our annual meeting of directors which follows our Annual Meeting, 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 heading “Equity Compensation Awards Policy,” in this proxy statement, 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 grant 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 grant date is the immediately preceding trading date or (ii) pre-approval occurs 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.
(2) The amount of restricted stock rights is determined by dividing $130,000 by the closing price of our stock on the NYSE on the day of the grant. Thus, 2,700 restricted stock rights were granted on May 9, 2023 to each non-employee director, based on the closing price on that date of $48.15 per share.
In addition, all directors are reimbursed for any Board-related expenses, such as travel expenses incurred to attend Board and Committee meetings and director education programs sponsored by educational and other institutions. Further, directors are indemnified by PNMR to the fullest extent permitted by law pursuant to our bylaws and indemnification agreements between the Company and each director. In December 2017, we adopted a program that allows directors to defer receipt of vested restricted stock rights awards 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. No retirement or other benefit plans are available to directors.

In August 2023, Pay Governance presented the Nominating Committee an analysis of director compensation that showed, despite the increase in 2023 director compensation, current total compensation levels were slightly below the median of both the PNMR Peer Group and the S&P 400 MidCap Utilities Index. Following discussion and review of the Pay Governance analysis and recommendations, in August 2023, the Nominating Committee recommended and the Board approved the following changes to director compensation for 2024 to better align with peer median: increasing the (1) annual cash retainer from $100,000 to $105,000, and (2) market value of the annual award of restricted stock rights from $130,000 to $135,000.
Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines for Directors
The Board believes directors should be shareholders and have a financial stake in the Company to help align director financial interests with the financial interests of our longer term shareholders. The Board requires directors to attain a significant level of Company stock ownership over a reasonable period of time.
The Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending Board compensation levels and stock ownership and retention guidelines to the Board for approval. The current stock ownership guidelines provide that non-employee directors will hold an amount of shares (including unvested restricted stock rights) equal to five times the annual cash retainer within a reasonable period of time. In addition, each director is required to hold 100% of all vested restricted stock rights until his or her holdings exceed five times the annual cash retainer (sales of a portion of vested stock sufficient to satisfy related tax obligations are permitted). Further, directors must hold all restricted stock right awards for a period of six months after termination of Board service or until the director achieves the holding requirements. We believe these holding guidelines are appropriate because they continue to approximate the holding requirements of the PNMR Peer Group. All of the directors have met or we believe will meet in the applicable time frame their holding requirements under the guidelines. Similar stock ownership guidelines have been developed for executive officers and are discussed on page 54.
The guidelines are reviewed periodically for any appropriate changes as described on page 7 of the Corporate Governance Principles document available on PNM Resources’ website at www.p nmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx.

(3) Represents the grant date fair value of $48.15 per restricted stock right calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 of the 2,700 restricted stock rights awarded under the PEP to each non-employee director on May 9, 2023. The assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of restricted stock rights are set forth in Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements in PNMR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the non-employee directors listed on the table above had 2,700 outstanding restricted stock rights that will vest in May 2024. As discussed above, directors may elect to defer receipt of vested restricted stock awards granted on and after May 2018. The actual value that a director may realize on the payment of vested restricted stock rights will depend on the market price of our common stock at the date of settlement and ultimately, the value received by the director on the sale of stock.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires PNM Resources’ executive officers and directors to file certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC within two business days of a transaction. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of such filings on file with the SEC and written representations from the Company’s executive officers and directors, we believe all executive officers’ and directors’ applicable filing requirements were met.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECT AS DIRECTORS THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT
(PROPOSAL 1 on your Proxy Card)
General Information
Each of the director nominees presented below was recommended by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board for election as directors to serve for a one-year term that expires at the annual meeting in 2025 and until their successors are elected and qualified.
Eight nominees are current members of the Board who were elected by the shareholders at the 2023 annual meeting and are standing for re-election. The two remaining nominees were nominated by the Board to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Donald K. Schwanz as of the Annual Meeting on June 4, 2024, and for succession planning purposes. Mr. Schwanz will complete his current term and will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting on June 4, 2024. We sincerely acknowledge Mr. Schwanz’ dedication, engagement and contributions to the Company during his tenure. The Director Service Policy, adopted by the Board and set forth in the Corporate Governance Principles document, provides that, ordinarily, a director will not serve for more than 12 years on the Board. Alan J. Fohrer has served as a director for 12 years. The Board is recommending that Mr. Fohrer be elected to serve an additional one-year term to provide continuity. Mr. Fohrer has submitted a written resignation to the Board for acceptance at such time as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable. There is no current expectation that the resignation would be accepted by the Board within the one-year term.
The Nominating Committee recommended that the Board nominate Steven C. Maestas and Lillian J. Montoya to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Mr. Schwanz and for succession planning purposes. The Nominating Committee retained SpencerStuart to provide assistance in identifying candidates for consideration as new directors. SpencerStuart recommended Steven C. Maestas and Lillian J. Montoya for Board consideration as director candidates. The Nominating Committee interviewed both candidates and, upon the its recommendation, the full Board approved the nominations for election to the Board.
Each of the nominees has consented to being nominated and to serve if elected. We do not know of any reason why any nominee would be unable to serve. However, should any nominee become unable to serve for any reason, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, or the Board may reduce the size of the Board.
All of the director nominees are independent directors, except Ms. Collawn, our Chair and CEO. As shown by the following biographies, each nominee has valuable skills and experiences that, taken together, provide us with the variety and depth of knowledge and judgment necessary to provide effective oversight of our electric utility and related businesses.
Below each nominee’s biography, we have included an assessment of the skills and experience of each such nominee. We have also included a chart that covers the assessment for the full Board after the biographies below. The noted age of each director is as of March 20, 2024.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2024
(PROPOSAL 2 on your Proxy Card)
The Board is recommending that the shareholders ratify the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024. The Audit Committee has performed its annual evaluation of the quality and cost of services provided by KPMG and an assessment of auditor independence. The Audit Committee reported to the Board complete satisfaction with the services provided by KPMG and recommended that KPMG be selected as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024. The Board agrees with the Audit Committee’s recommendations, as described in the Audit Committee Report contained in this proxy statement.
In determining whether to recommend to the full Board the reappointment of KPMG as our independent auditor, the Audit Committee annually considers several factors including:
•the length of time KPMG has been engaged;
•the firm’s independence and objectivity;
•KPMG’s capability and expertise in handling our electric utility businesses, including the expertise and capability of the lead audit partner;
•historical and recent performance, including the extent and quality of KPMG’s communications with the Audit Committee, and the results of a management survey of KPMG’s overall performance;
•data related to audit quality and performance, including recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board inspection reports on the firm; and
•the appropriateness of KPMG’s fees.
In accordance with SEC rules, independent audit partners are subject to rotation requirements limiting their number of consecutive years of service to our Company to no more than five.
We are not required to have shareholders ratify the selection of KPMG as our independent auditor but are doing so because we believe it is a matter of good corporate governance. Representatives of KPMG will be available at the Annual Meeting where they will have the opportunity to make statements and respond to appropriate questions by shareholders. If shareholders fail to ratify the appointment of KPMG, the Audit Committee will consider other auditors for 2025. Because of the difficulty in making any substitution of auditors so long after the beginning of the current year, the appointment of KPMG as independent registered public accounting firm for 2024 will stand even if shareholders fail to ratify our selection unless the Audit Committee determines there is a compelling reason for a change. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interest of PNM Resources and our shareholders.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP
as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024.

AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT
The primary function of our Audit and Ethics Committee (“Audit Committee”) is oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process, public financial reports, internal accounting and financial controls, and the independent audit of the annual consolidated financial statements. Our Audit Committee acts under a charter, which can be found on the PNM Resources web site at www.pnmresources.com/esg-commitment/governance/governance-documents.aspx. We review the adequacy of the charter at least annually. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent as required by the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Three current members are audit committee financial experts under SEC rules. We held five meetings in 2023 with KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023, with one meeting at which we reviewed extensive reports and had discussions with KPMG and other members of management.
In carrying out our responsibilities, we look to management and the independent auditors. The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements and for maintaining effective internal controls. Management is also responsible for assessing and maintaining the effectiveness of internal controls over the financial reporting process in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 requirements. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s annual financial statements and expressing an opinion as to whether such financial statements are fairly stated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the independent auditors are responsible for auditing the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The independent auditors perform their responsibilities in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
In performing our oversight function, we reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and KPMG. Management and KPMG informed us that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. We discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. We discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the independent auditors with the Committee under the rules and standards adopted by the PCAOB, including critical accounting matters addressed during the audit. In addition, we reviewed and discussed management’s report on internal controls over financial reporting and the related audit performed by KPMG which confirmed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
We received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with us concerning independence, and we discussed with KPMG the accounting firm’s independence.
We discussed with the Company’s internal auditors and KPMG the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We met with the internal auditors and the independent auditors at each regularly scheduled meeting, both with and without management present. Discussions included the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
We have also assessed the performance of KPMG and have appointed KPMG to audit the Company’s financial statements for 2024, subject to shareholder ratification of that appointment.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, reliance on management and KPMG, and subject to the limitations of our role described above, we recommended to the Board the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR FEES
Audit Fees for 2023 and 2022
The following table represents aggregate fees billed to the Company for fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by KPMG, our principal independent registered public accounting firm.

Fees | Fiscal Year Ended (in thousands) ($)
2023 | 2022
Audit Fees | 2,546 | 2,452
Audit-related Fees | 802 | 525
Tax Fees | — | —
All Other Fees | — | —
Total Fees | 3,348 | 2,977
Audit Fees are primarily for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in our 10-Q filings and the annual Sarbanes-Oxley Audit, and statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include services provided in connection with financing arrangements, the previously proposed Merger that has since been terminated, and other agreed upon procedures. All fees have been approved by the Audit Committee. The reported aggregate fees billed for professional services include travel related expenses to perform the services and applicable gross receipts taxes.

The Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm selected to audit the Company’s financial statements to obtain the approval of the Audit Committee before performing any non-audit services permitted by applicable law so that the Audit Committee may determine whether the provision of such services is compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. Thus, the Audit Committee preapproves all audit services and all permitted non-audit services performed by the principal accounting firm.

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
(PROPOSAL 3 on your Proxy Card)
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on the following advisory resolution (commonly referred to as Say-on-Pay):
“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Annual Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, the compensation tables and the accompanying footnotes and narratives within the Executive Compensation section of the proxy statement).”
Background on Proposal
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, shareholders are being given the opportunity to vote at the Annual Meeting on this advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our NEOs.
As described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which begins on page 39, we believe attracting, motivating and retaining talented executives is critical to the achievement of our financial and strategic objectives. Our executive compensation program is designed with that premise in mind. Our basic philosophy is that our NEOs should be paid for performance, as determined by a combination of corporate performance measures and individual performance. For a comprehensive description of our executive compensation program, philosophy and objectives, including the specific elements of executive compensation that comprised the program in 2023, please refer to the CD&A. The 2023 NEO Compensation Information, including the Summary Compensation Table and other executive compensation tables (and accompanying narrative disclosures) that follow the CD&A, beginning on page 56, provide additional information about the compensation that we paid to our NEOs in 2023.
Section 14A also requires that, at least once every six years, shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on an advisory basis regarding the frequency (i.e., annually, every two years, or every three years) of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs. At the 2023 annual meeting, the shareholders indicated a preference for holding Say-on-Pay advisory votes on an annual basis as recommended by the Board. Thus, the advisory vote in Proposal 3 reflects the approved annual frequency.
Effects of Advisory Say-on-Pay Vote
Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to our NEOs and will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation and HC Committee. However, the Compensation and HC Committee will consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions. The next shareholder advisory vote on compensation of our NEOs is expected to occur at the 2025 annual meeting.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of the
advisory resolution set forth above approving the compensation of our named executive officers.

Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be issued for such minimum consideration as authorized by the Board of Directors.”
Purpose of the Proposed Amendment
The Company has not increased the number of authorized shares of common stock in over 20 years. The Company’s business is capital intensive, requiring significant resources to fund operating expenses, capital project expenditures, scheduled debt maturities and interest payments, and dividend payments on its common stock. The Company projects that its consolidated capital requirements, consisting of construction expenditures and dividends, will total $6.1 billion for 2024-2028. 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 issue new equity in order to fund its capital requirements during the 2024-2028 period.
The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to provide the Company greater flexibility in considering and planning for future business needs, such as raising additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, convertible debt securities or other equity-linked securities; potential strategic transactions; stock dividends; stock splits; grants of equity incentives to employees (subject to future shareholder approvals under equity plans); as well as for other general corporate purposes. Approval of this amendment by shareholders at the Annual
36

Meeting will enable the Company to take timely advantage of market conditions and other opportunities that become available to the Company without the expense and delay of arranging for a special meeting of shareholders in the future.
If the proposed amendment is adopted, the Company will be permitted to issue the authorized shares without further shareholder approval, except to the extent otherwise required by law, by a securities exchange on which the common stock is listed at the time, or by our Restated Articles of Incorporation. The NYSE, on which the common stock is now listed, currently requires stockholder approval as a prerequisite to listing shares in certain instances, including acquisition transactions where the issuance could increase the number of outstanding shares by 20% or more. Other than the potential debt and equity financings described above and the routine practices of issuing shares pursuant to employee stock plans and employee equity incentive awards, the Company has no current plans, agreements, proposals, or arrangements with respect to the issuance of any additional shares of common stock authorized upon approval of the proposed amendment.
Possible Effects of the Proposed Amendment
The additional shares of common stock for which authorization is sought would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding. These do not include preemptive rights with respect to the future issuance of any additional shares of common stock. Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock. Therefore, while the adoption of the amendment would not have an immediate dilutive effect on the ownership interest in the Company of existing shareholders, any future issuances of additional common stock or other securities convertible into common stock in the future could dilute the respective percentage ownership interest and voting rights attributable to present shareholders and could have a negative effect on the market price of the common stock.
Anti-takeover Considerations
The proposed amendment could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect or delay or prevent a change in control of the Company by providing the Company the capability to engage in actions that would be dilutive to a potential acquirer, pursue alternative transactions or otherwise increase the potential cost to acquire control of the Company. For example, without further shareholder approval, the Company could issue shares of common stock in a public or private sale, merger or similar transaction, which would increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby diluting the interest of a party seeking to take over the Company or gain control of the Board. Thus, while the Company currently has no intent to employ the additional authorized shares of common stock as an anti-takeover device, the proposed amendment may have the effect of discouraging future unsolicited takeover attempts. The Board is not aware of any such attempt to take control of the Company.
If approved by the shareholders, the proposed amendment will become effective upon the delivery of the articles of amendment of our Restated Articles of Incorporation to the New Mexico Secretary of State, unless disapproved by the New Mexico Secretary of State.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the amendment to
our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

PROPOSAL 5: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE OUR NAME TO TXNM ENERGY, INC.
(PROPOSAL 5 on your Proxy Card)
The Board has approved, and is recommending that the shareholders approve, an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from PNM Resources, Inc. to TXNM Energy, Inc.
This new name encompasses our utilities in both Texas and New Mexico by combining the recognized abbreviations of both states. This combination reflects the evolution of the Company and changing composition of our business footprint, as the sustained high growth rate of system demand in our Texas service territory has diversified our consolidated rate base to be nearly evenly split between New Mexico and Texas.
While TXNM Energy, Inc. will be our parent company name, our primary operating subsidiaries intend to continue to use the names Public Service Company of New Mexico, Texas-New Mexico Power Company and TNP Enterprises, Inc. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to change our name. The name change will not have any effect on the rights of our existing shareholders.
Proposed Amendment
We are asking shareholders to approve the following resolution seeking authority and approval to amend the Restated Articles of Incorporation as follows:
RESOLVED, that the proposed amendment to PNMR’s Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from “PNM Resources, Inc.” to “TXNM Energy, Inc.” is hereby approved.
If the proposed amendment is approved, Article I of the Restated Articles of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:
“ARTICLE I
Name
The name of the Corporation is TXNM Energy, Inc.”
Possible Effects of the Proposed Amendment
Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “PNM.” If the amendment is approved and the name change becomes effective, our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE. We expect that our common stock will begin trading under a new NYSE symbol, “TXNM”, which we have already reserved, at the time we effect our name change.
If the name change becomes effective, the rights of shareholders holding certificated shares under currently outstanding stock certificates and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged. The name change will not affect the validity or transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates nor will shareholders be required to exchange outstanding stock certificates for new stock certificates as a result of the name change. After the name change, all newly issued and transferred shares will be held in direct registration accounts and, together with uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts, will bear the name “TXNM Energy, Inc.”
If the name change is not approved, the proposed amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation will not be made and the name of the Company and our ticker symbol for trading our common stock on the NYSE will remain unchanged. In making this recommendation, our Board is retaining the ability to, without further vote by our shareholders, delay or abandon the proposed name change at any time if the Board concludes that such action would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.
If approved by the shareholders, the proposed amendment will become effective upon the delivery of the articles of amendment of the Restated Articles of Incorporation to the New Mexico Secretary of State, unless disapproved by the New Mexico Secretary of State. Upon approval of this proposal and the filing of the articles of amendment with the New Mexico Secretary of State, the Board will amend our Bylaws to replace any references to “PNM Resources, Inc.” with “TXNM Energy, Inc.”
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from PNM Resources, Inc. to TXNM Energy, Inc.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following CD&A should be read together with the SCT and other tables that are presented beginning on page 56. Please note that this CD&A contains information about our corporate goals. We have included this information for the limited purpose of enabling investors and other readers of this CD&A to better understand our executive compensation philosophy, policies, programs, practices and results. This information should not be understood to represent our management’s estimates, of our future results or other guidance, and we specifically caution investors and other readers not to apply this information to other contexts.
This CD&A informs our shareholders about our compensation philosophy and decision-making process. It also explains the compensation-related actions taken, and factors considered, with respect to 2023 compensation for the NEOs. Based on 2023 positions and compensation levels, our NEOs are:
•Patricia K. Collawn, Chair and CEO
•Joseph D. Tarry, President and COO
•Patrick V. Apodaca, SVP, General Counsel and Secretary
•Elisabeth A. Eden, SVP, CFO and Treasurer
•Ronald N. Darnell, SVP, Public Policy (retired July 10, 2023)
The Compensation and HC Committee is composed entirely of independent directors and is responsible for approving and overseeing our executive compensation philosophy, policies, programs and practices. The Compensation and HC Committee also reviews and approves the Company’s succession plans for our CEO and other senior Officers, reviews and monitors the Company’s Affirmative Action and other diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, and oversees various other aspects of managing the Company’s human capital in coordination with our management team.
OVERVIEW
Merger Update
From the time we entered into the Merger Agreement with Avangrid in 2020 through the termination of the Merger Agreement on December 31, 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee has sought to hold true to our pay for performance philosophy while managing our compensation programs against additional complexities and costs to the Company associated with the anticipated closing of the transaction. Merger-related efforts required substantial time and effort toward planning for integration, seeking regulatory approval, negotiating an extension of the Merger Agreement and appealing the NMPRC’s decision to the New Mexico Supreme Court. Throughout this time, the leadership team continued to deliver exceptional results on behalf of shareholders, generating another year of record earnings and increasing shareholder dividends.
Impacts of the Merger and Resulting Termination of the Merger on Executive Compensation Philosophy and Program
The Merger Agreement was entered into on October 20, 2020, with an acquisition price of $50.30 per share of common stock. At that time, neither Avangrid nor the Company expected the protracted regulatory approval process and hurdles that ultimately had to be navigated. Both Avangrid and the Company expected the Merger to close, and to close substantially sooner than its ultimate termination on December 31, 2023. Moreover, pursuant to the contractual terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company was subject to many customary, yet restrictive, covenants in regards to executive compensation during the pendency of the Merger. During the initial stages of the Merger, Ms. Collawn, Mr. Apodaca (both of whom were slated to be terminated upon the Merger close), and Mr. Tarry did not receive retention agreements or additional compensation. In an effort to mitigate the impact of Section 280G of the Tax Code, Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca did not participate in the 2021 AIP and instead each received, in December 2020, a one-time cash lump sum payment at their target AIP levels in lieu of their participation in the 2021 AIP. In early 2022, in order to incentivize Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca to remain with the Company and to reward their efforts relating to the Merger, the Company approved a one-time bonus to Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca, with such amount being comparable to the amount that, when added to the cash payment they received in December 2020, approximated the amount that they would have received had they participated in the 2021 AIP.
Announcement of the Merger immediately increased the PNM Resources’ stock price near the stated acquisition price and limited management’s ability to impact the stock price. As market and industry valuations increased in response to federal
39

stimulus measures and the introduction of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, PNM Resources’ stock traded within a narrow range of the acquisition price for more than a year. Following the denial of the Merger by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission in December 2021, PNM Resources’ stock began to trade lower and indicate sensitivity to the prospect of denial of regulatory approval.
As the Company and Avangrid moved through an extended regulatory approval process and factors impacting industry valuations changed significantly, including interest rates, uncertainty grew about the ultimate consummation of the Merger. As we entered and progressed through 2023, the New Mexico Supreme Court rejected a motion to remand the case to the NMPRC for rehearing and instead heard oral arguments on the Merger in September 2023. In light of the growing uncertainties and as a result of these developments and the continued delay in meeting the conditions for the closing of the Merger, following the oral arguments and pending the court’s ruling, the Compensation and HC Committee and the Board determined that it practically needed to revisit certain aspects of the Company’s executive compensation program. As a result, in early December 2023, to incentivize and stabilize our senior leadership team through two potential scenarios: (i) an expected to be continuing lengthy appeals process to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to complete the Merger or (ii) abandonment of the Merger and continuation of PNM Resources as a stand-alone company, the Company entered into retention agreements with Ms. Collawn, Mr. Tarry, and Mr. Apodaca.
As time progressed towards the Merger expiration date of December 31, 2023, without a ruling from the New Mexico Supreme Court or the announcement of an agreement between the Company and Avangrid to extend the expiration of the Merger, market confidence of the Merger waned, and PNM Resources’ stock price further underperformed.
In the wake of the termination of the Merger, the stability of leadership in the near term has become an important factor in ensuring a continuity in senior management and organizational cohesion, repositioning the Company’s business for a stand-alone future, and for reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders and other stakeholders.
With the goal of ensuring stability of the Company senior leadership, following the termination of the Merger, as the Company navigates through the turbulence of the recent termination of the Merger towards a stand-alone future, the December 2023 retention agreements to help support that stability. In February 2024, the Company also approved annual and long-term incentive compensation plans consistent with its compensation philosophy, which is grounded in pay for performance. Consistent with LTIPs prior to 2022, the Company restored TSR as a performance metric to align executive compensation with shareholder value.
Throughout this time, the Compensation and HC Committee believed these actions and benefits were appropriate and necessary. The Compensation and HC Committee further believed that our compensation levels remained modest and generally aligned with the median levels of our peer group.
Following the termination of the Merger, the Company is committed to repositioning the Company’s business for a stand-alone future and our compensation actions further reflect this strategic goal. This includes ensuring that our current leadership team remains focused on executing our strategic and financial objectives, managing day-to-day operations efficiently, and safeguarding shareholder value during this period of transition following the termination of the Merger.

2023 Performance and Resulting Performance-Based Compensation
Our 2023 performance demonstrates continued alignment of our strategic goals with an executive compensation strategy grounded in pay for performance. As the holding company of two electric utilities operating in New Mexico (PNM) and Texas (TNMP), our short-term and long-term incentive compensation performance goals are aligned with our focus on creating an environment where employees can succeed; engaging and earning the trust of our customers and stakeholders; always striving for operational excellence; creating value for our shareholders and transforming our portfolio for a sustainable future.
In conjunction with these objectives, we remain focused on three financial goals:
•Earning authorized returns on our regulated businesses
•Delivering at or above industry-average earnings and dividend growth
•Maintaining investment grade credit ratings
AIP Performance for 2023
The three weighted performance measures for the 2023 AIP were: Incentive EPS (60%), reliability (20%) and customer satisfaction (20%). These three AIP metrics aligned with our strategic goal of earning authorized returns on regulated businesses while delivering reliable and superior utility services to our customers. NEOs received annual cash incentive awards at 144% of target because the Company achieved:
•Maximum performance of 2023 Incentive EPS at $2.82 per share;
•Between threshold and target performance of the reliability metric;
•Below threshold performance of the New Mexico-based customer satisfaction metric; and
•Maximum performance of the Texas-based customer satisfaction metric.
As in previous years, the 2023 AIP specifies that no awards would be made unless the Compensation and HC Committee determined that the Company achieved the applicable threshold level of performance for Incentive EPS. Incentive EPS is a non-GAAP performance metric designed to measure the financial performance of the Company’s core business by making certain adjustments as reflected in the definition of Incentive EPS as explained in the Glossary of Terms Used in this Proxy and as discussed on page 54 under Adjustments for Certain Items.
For additional information about the AIP performance metrics and 2023 results, see NEO Incentive Goals and Results on page 59 and the Cash Compensation-Annual Incentive Awards section of Elements of Executive Compensation on page 47.
LTIP Performance for 2021-2023 under the 2021 LTIP
Long-term incentive awards under the LTIPs are delivered 70% in PSs and 30% in RSAs. PS awards are tied to three-year performance goals and RSAs are granted following the end of the performance period and then vest over a three-year period to promote an appropriate focus on creating sustainable shareholder value. The weighted performance metrics for the 2021 LTIP were: Earnings Growth (50%), relative TSR (25%) and FFO/Debt Ratio (25%). Earnings Growth and relative TSR metrics encourage our executives to deliver at or above industry-average earnings and dividend growth for our shareholders in a sustainable manner while the FFO/Debt metric promotes maintaining solid investment grade ratings. For the 2021 LTIP, NEOs received PS awards at 113% of target because the Company achieved:
•Maximum performance of Earnings Growth, which was 7.3% over 2021-2023, compared to a target performance of 5.0%;
•Below threshold performance of relative TSR, which ranked the Company at the 13 th percentile of other utilities included in the EEI Utilities Index, compared to a target performance goal of 50 th percentile; and
•Threshold performance of the FFO/Debt Ratio, a metric relating to investment grade ratings, which was 13% for 2023, compared to a target performance of 14%.
For additional information on the 2021 LTIP performance metrics and 2021-2023 results, see NEO Incentive Goals and Results on page 59, Equity Compensation-Long-Term Incentive Awards section of Elements of Executive Compensation on page 48, and Adjustments for Certain Items on page 54.

Return to Shareholders
The Company is committed to achieving financial results that consistently provide a positive return to shareholders over time. In accordance with SEC requirements, the Company prepares a performance graph each year for inclusion in the materials provided to shareholders. The performance graph below is provided because of its relevance to the Company’s performance and is also being provided with the annual shareholder letter from our Chair and CEO. The performance graph illustrates how a $100 investment in the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2018 would have grown to $116.36 by December 29, 2023, with all dividends reinvested. The chart also compares the TSR on the Company’s common stock to the same investment in the S&P 500 Index and the EEI Peer Index. The S&P 500 Index is provided for general comparison purposes, as it is in the annual performance graph, but it is not used by the Compensation and HC Committee for any compensation decisions, benchmarking or determination of incentive awards. Beginning with the 2019 LTIP, the PS awards were earned based on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the EEI Peer Index. In light of the contemplated Merger, the Company did not use TSR as a performance measure for the 2022 or 2023 LTIPs. For further discussion of the LTIP, please refer to the Equity Compensation-Long-Term Incentive Awards section of Elements of Executive Compensation. Please note that the performance graph is not intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of our common stock.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our long-term success depends upon our ability to provide safe, reliable, affordable, environmentally responsible and sustainable energy and services to our customers and invest wisely for present and future shareholder returns. Achievement of these outcomes depends upon our success in attracting, motivating and retaining highly talented professionals.
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate our Officers to support the overall objective of enhancing shareholder value. Our compensation philosophy is designed to:
•Attract and retain highly qualified, motivated and experienced executives,
•Provide total compensation opportunities that are market competitive and reflect the size of our Company,
•Pay our NEOs for performance based on corporate and business area measures,
•Link corporate compensation goals to the interests of our shareholders, and
•Recognize and reward outstanding Company and individual performance.
The Company’s compensation strategy is grounded in pay for performance, which is reflected in the way we have structured base pay, short-term incentives and long-term incentives. This philosophy applies to all employees, with a more significant level of variability and compensation at risk for Officers. As illustrated below, the TDC target opportunity for NEOs primarily comprises short-term and long-term incentive compensation that is “at risk.” These charts illustrate the mix of pay opportunity
42

for 2023 for our CEO and the weighted average opportunity for our other NEOs, in each case assuming these NEOs were paid under our incentive compensation plans at the target level for 2023. These amounts do not include the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the Retention Agreements, discussed beginning on page 47, as they were non-recurring components of their 2023 compensation.
The Compensation and HC Committee also considers other factors in determining the compensation of our NEOs, such as their respective qualifications, experience, expertise, performance and results of their business area, as well as the market competitiveness of the compensation opportunity. The relative importance of these factors may vary from year to year and from NEO to NEO. As a result, the Compensation and HC Committee evaluates each component of pay in the context of each NEO’s total compensation.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PRACTICES & RESULTS
The Compensation and HC Committee strives to ensure that we compensate our NEOs consistent with shareholder interests. Highlights of our practices to sustain good governance alignment with shareholder interests include the following:
What We Do
•Pay for Performance – PNMR’s pay for performance philosophy is emphasized through the use of variable compensation. Generally, a significant portion of executive pay is considered “at risk” and is based on actual Company performance against both short-term and long-term performance goals. TDC varies depending on the Company’s achievement of financial and non-financial objectives and long-term incentive compensation is designed to closely align with shareholders’ interests.
•Independent Compensation and HC Committee – The Compensation and HC Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. Year-end results and related performance-based pay are reviewed and approved by the Compensation and HC Committee for the NEOs while the independent members of the Board review and approve the CEO’s compensation.
•Independent Compensation Consultant – The Compensation and HC Committee uses an independent compensation consultant, Pay Governance, to regularly review and evaluate the Company’s compensation plans and programs. This includes a periodic review of the PNMR Peer Group and regular briefings regarding key trends and pending regulations. Pay Governance only provides services to the Board and its committees. No other services are provided to the Company by Pay Governance.
•Capped Incentive Award Payout – Awards are capped at a maximum payout under both our AIP and LTIPs.
•Reasonable Change in Control Severance Provisions (Retention Plan) – We have maintained change in control provisions for our executives that we believe are reasonable and customary. The change in control provisions provide for benefits under the Retention Plan only if a change in control actually occurs and the executive’s employment is terminated (i.e., double trigger). More discussion appears in the Payments Made Upon a Change in Control section of 2023 NEO Compensation Information.
•“Double Trigger” Change in Control Severance Benefits – The PEP generally provides for double trigger vesting following a change in control. More discussion appears in the Payments Made Upon a Change in Control section of 2023 NEO Compensation Information.
•Clawback Provisions – The PEP and/or related award documents provide that (1) all unvested and unpaid awards are subject to forfeiture for conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company and (2) the LTIPs and AIPs provide that a recipient will forfeit unvested and unpaid incentive compensation awards issued under the PEP for
43

any manipulation or attempted manipulation of the performance results for personal gain at the expense of customers, shareholders, other employees or the Company. In addition, under the Company’s Clawback Policy, amended as of December 1, 2023 and described more fully on pages 11 and 53 of this proxy statement, incentive compensation awarded to Officers is subject to recoupment in the event of certain accounting restatements or if the Officer engaged in improper conduct.
•Hiring and Retention of High-Achieving Executives – The Compensation and HC Committee balances objectives of performance and retention to ensure that high-achieving, marketable executives remain motivated and committed to the Company.
•Tally Sheets – The Compensation and HC Committee reviews tally sheets of compensation, which includes retirement and other benefits, for our NEOs prior to making annual executive compensation decisions.
•Mitigation of Undue Risk – Management and the Compensation and HC Committee evaluate, through an annual risk assessment process, whether the Company’s compensation programs for employees, including NEOs, create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Based on the risk analysis undertaken in 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee does not believe that the Company’s compensation programs, policies and practices create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Examples of the features that assist in mitigating risk include the Clawback Policy, the PEP forfeiture provisions noted above and the Company’s stock ownership holding guidelines. More discussion appears in the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight section on page 9.
•Conservative Perquisites – Perquisites for our Officers are modest and serve a reasonable business purpose.
•Equity Ownership Holding Guidelines – The Compensation and HC Committee believes that rewarding the NEOs with equity compensation supports retention and helps align management with the best interests of our shareholders, our customers and the Company. Therefore, the Company has stock ownership holding guidelines, the Equity Ownership Guidelines for PNM Resources, Inc. Officers (the “Equity Ownership Guidelines for PNMR Officers”), for all NEOs requiring that they hold from three (3) to five (5) times base salary in PNMR shares depending on the NEO’s position. See the Equity Ownership Holding Guidelines section of Additional Information.
•Minimal Dilution – As the Company’s practice is to only use shares that are acquired on the open market to satisfy awards under the PEP, our equity compensation practices result in minimal dilution. More discussion appears in the Equity Compensation section of Elements of Executive Compensation.
What We Don’t Do
•No employment contracts with our CEO or other NEOs.
•No individual change in control agreements with our CEO or other NEOs.
•No discounted stock options or SARs.
•No excise tax gross-ups.
•No repricing of stock options or SARs without prior shareholder approval.
•No share recycling of stock options or SARs.
•No evergreen provisions within the PEP.
•No dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested RSAs or unearned PSs.
•No hedging or monetization transactions (such as zero-cost collars and forward sales contracts, which would allow for locking in much of the value of Company securities) permitted by Officers, directors or employees.
•No short sales of Company securities by any Officer, director or employee.
•No pledging of Company securities by our executive officers, including NEOs, or directors.
Results of 2023 Say-on-Pay Shareholder Advisory Vote
Our shareholders cast an advisory Say-on-Pay vote on executive compensation at the May 2023 annual meeting. The holders of 96.0% of the shares, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the 2023 annual meeting, approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs disclosed in our 2023 proxy statement. The Compensation and HC Committee reviewed the outcome of the 2023 Say-on-Pay advisory vote and considered it to be strong approval by our shareholders. Therefore, the Compensation and HC Committee determined that significant changes to our executive compensation programs were not warranted and accordingly our current compensation philosophy remains consistent with the prior year. At our 2024 Annual Meeting, shareholders will again have the opportunity to cast an advisory Say-on-Pay vote regarding the compensation of our NEOs, as disclosed in this CD&A and the accompanying tables.
44

The Compensation and HC Committee continues to review our executive compensation practices and policies at regular intervals to ensure alignment with competitive pay practices and in response to other factors such as the contemplated Merger with Avangrid. Furthermore, we continue to engage with our shareholders on a variety of topics, including executive compensation. The Compensation and HC Committee considers shareholder feedback in making its compensation decisions.
ELEMENTS OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Our executive compensation program is generally designed to maintain an appropriate and competitive balance between fixed pay (base salary) and variable pay or “at risk” incentives (annual and long-term incentives) under our AIP and LTIP, respectively. The program typically consists of three core elements that comprise TDC – base salary, AIP and LTIP awards that are targeted around the median level of compensation paid to executive officers of similar companies in the 2023 Benchmark Data (as described in the Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant section of Administration and Resources). The annual and long-term incentives are structured to reward the achievement of strategic, financial and operational performance goals. As the NEO with the highest level of responsibility, the CEO generally has the greatest variability in TDC. The targeted level of each element of compensation is independently set at approximately the market median range and then appropriate adjustments are made based on each NEO’s performance, experience and strategic role to the Company. If the Compensation and HC Committee increases an NEO’s base salary, it also considers the resulting impact on annual and long-term performance-based incentive compensation levels and benefits. Following is a summary of compensation and benefits provided to our Officers.

Compensation Component | Key Characteristics | Purpose
Base Salary | •Fixed amount of cash compensation based on an Officer’s role, experience and responsibilities | •Compensate Officers for scope of responsibilities, previous experience, individual performance and business area performance •Provide base compensation at a level consistent with our compensation philosophy
AIP | •Variable annual cash incentive based on corporate performance metrics with threshold, target and maximum opportunities for each Officer. Incentive EPS threshold must be achieved to receive any incentives and awards are capped at a maximum of two-times the target bonus amount | •Reward and motivate Officers for achieving annual financial and operating goals across the organization •Link annual pay with annual performance
LTIP | •Awards are a combination of PSs and RSAs. PS awards represent variable compensation incentive based on long-term corporate performance metrics, typically with a three-year performance period and generally granted annually. Amounts actually earned will vary based on corporate performance and the Officer’s position | •Reward Officers for achieving long-term business objectives by tying incentives to long-term performance (PSs) •Align the interests of the Officers and the shareholders (PSs and RSAs) •Enhance retention of Officers
Deferred Compensation and Retirement Benefits | •A broad-based 401(k) retirement plan and a non-qualified supplemental retirement savings plan •A frozen defined benefit plan for employees hired prior to January 1, 1998 | •Enhance recruitment and retention by aligning benefits with competitive market practices •Provide for future retirement of Officers

45

Compensation Component | Key Characteristics | Purpose
Supplemental Benefits & Perquisites | •Generally limited to perquisites such as additional officer life insurance, long term disability, executive physicals, financial planning and the ECP. The ECP is limited to $23,000 for the CEO and President and COO, and $18,000 for the EVP and SVPs | •Align with market practices to provide reasonable supplemental benefits
Potential Severance Benefits and Change in Control | •These amounts are payable only if employment is terminated under certain conditions (i.e., double trigger) | •Support the objective assessment and execution of potential changes to the Company’s strategy and structure by our Officers •Enhance retention of management by reducing concerns about employment continuity
Merger-Related Arrangements | •Special RSAs designed to require continued employment for a period of time •Special cash bonuses to incentivize continued employment and/or past performance | •Special retention agreements to certain NEOs to incentivize them to remain employed during the pending decision relating to the contemplated Merger and for a transition period beyond termination of the Merger.

Below are detailed descriptions of components of our executive compensation program as well as certain changes made to our 2023 and 2024 executive compensation plans and programs to (i) further align the structure of the program with shareholders’ interests and current market practices and conditions and (ii) implement certain special arrangements that were previously anticipated prior to the recent termination of the Merger.
Cash Compensation
Base Salary
Base salary is the fixed component of compensation paid to each NEO for effectively discharging the duties and responsibilities of his or her position. An NEO’s base salary is determined by considering a variety of factors including, but not limited to:
•Scope of responsibilities,
•Previous experience,
•Individual performance,
•Base salaries for comparable NEOs within the PNMR Peer Group,
•Base salaries as reported in compensation surveys, such as the WTW General Industry Executive Survey Report - U.S., and
•Recommendations from our independent executive compensation consultant, Pay Governance.
Annually, the Compensation and HC Committee considers all of these factors in recommending the base salary of the CEO (which is approved by the independent members of the Board) and in setting the base salary of all other NEOs. Salary adjustments, if any, are based on the median of base salaries revealed by benchmarking comparable positions, described in the Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant section of Administration and Resources, as well as the Company’s performance, internal pay equity among the Officers and the Compensation and HC Committee’s evaluation of the individual NEO’s performance. Performance is primarily measured on the basis of corporate and individual performance, with applicable goals and objectives being established at the beginning of each year.
At its February 2023 meeting, after reviewing the 2023 Benchmark Data, recommendations from management and Pay Governance, and considering the Company’s performance and strategic objectives, as well as each NEO’s performance in 2022, the Compensation and HC Committee approved increases in base salaries, effective March 2023, for certain of the NEOs, with the independent members of the Board approving an increase for our CEO. The following sets forth our CEO and other NEO’s base salaries in 2022 and as increased in 2023.

Annual Incentive Awards
The AIP provides annual cash incentives to reward the NEOs for the achievement of annual financial and operating goals and to reinforce the Company’s pay for performance philosophy. Our philosophy is to set the AIP award opportunities at the approximate median for NEOs in comparable positions based on a benchmarking analysis, which for 2023 consisted of the 2023 Benchmark Data. The table below shows the 2023 AIP target award opportunity as compared to the 2022 AIP target award opportunity.
NEO ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARD OPPORTUNITY

Position | 2022 Target Opportunity 1 | 2023 Target Opportunity 1
Patricia K. Collawn | 115% | 115%
Joseph D. Tarry | 70% | 70%
Patrick V. Apodaca | 55% | 55%
Elisabeth A. Eden | 60% | 60%
Ronald N. Darnell | 55% | 55%
1 As a percentage of Base Salary. The threshold opportunity is half of the target opportunity and the maximum opportunity is two times the target opportunity.

The 2023 financial and operating performance goals and performance results are illustrated on page 59. The Compensation and HC Committee considers the target performance goals to be rigorous, but reasonably achievable. Maximum performance levels are designed to be difficult to achieve.
The Compensation and HC Committee approved the 2023 AIP for the performance period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The performance metrics are: Incentive EPS (weighted 60%), reliability (weighted 20%) and customer satisfaction (weighted 20%). The reliability metric is designed to promote system reliability for customers by including a performance goal that measures the duration of interruptions on the electric system. We continue to focus on customer satisfaction by aligning operations and programs to improve the customer experience and to better serve our customers’ evolving needs in a rapidly changing energy landscape, which we believe ultimately benefits the Company and our shareholders.
For 2023, the Company and individual NEOs achieved maximum performance results for the Incentive EPS performance goal. The customer satisfaction performance goal comprises two measurements: the PNM Research and Polling Survey, which was achieved at the below threshold level, and TNMP Retail Energy Provider (REP) Satisfaction: which was achieved at the maximum level. The reliability performance goal was achieved at between the threshold and target levels. See page 59 for the Corporate Scorecard table in the NEO Incentive Goals and Results section.
No AIP award is paid if the performance for the Incentive EPS is below threshold level (even if reliability and customer satisfaction metrics are above threshold) and annual incentive awards are capped at the maximum opportunity, 200% of target. Straight-line interpolation determines the bonus payout for performance that falls between threshold and target or between target and maximum levels. For 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee did not exercise its discretion to increase or decrease awards to any NEO.
Retention Agreements
On December 5, 2023, the Board (and the independent directors of the Board, in the case of Ms. Collawn) approved Employee Retention Agreements with Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca to address the unique circumstances surrounding the Merger. On
47

December 4, 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee approved an Employee Retention Agreement with Mr. Tarry. The Retention Agreements were intended to incentivize the NEOs to continue their employment during the pending decision relating to the Merger as the Company determined that continuity in leadership would be crucial to maintaining operational stability and shareholder value during the continued uncertainty surrounding the Merger. Pursuant to Ms. Collawn’s Retention Agreement, she received a retention bonus that included a payment of $375,000 in December 2023 and an award of 26,766 restricted stock rights if she remains employed through the award’s vesting date, which is the earliest of (1) 24 months from the grant date, (2) the closing of the Merger, or (3) six months following the date on which the Company or Avangrid decides to abandon the Merger. Pursuant to Mr. Apodaca’s Retention Agreement, he received a retention bonus that included a payment of $125,000 in December 2023 and an award of 8,922 restricted stock rights if he remains employed through the award’s vesting date, which is the earliest of (1) 24 months from the grant date, (2) the closing of the Merger, or (3) six months following the date on which the Company or Avangrid decides to abandon the Merger. In light of certain restrictions under the Merger agreement, Mr. Tarry’s Retention Agreement was structured to provide for a retention bonus of $1,000,000, with 25% of such retention bonus paid in December 2023, 25% of such retention bonus payable in December 2024, and 50% of such retention bonus payable in December 2025, provided that Mr. Tarry remains employed through the applicable vesting dates and provided further that the Compensation and HC Committee may elect to convert Mr. Tarry’s retention bonus, or any portion thereof, into restricted stock rights at any time before the applicable vesting date pursuant to the terms of his Retention Agreement. Following the termination of the Merger, in April 2024, to better align Mr. Tarry’s incentives with shareholders, the Compensation and HC Committee converted Mr. Tarry’s unvested cash retention bonus into restricted stock rights of equivalent value, subject to the same vesting and payment schedule. In the event that an executive’s employment ends prior to a vesting date applicable to his or her retention bonus, depending on the circumstances of his or her departure, the executive may be entitled to receive his or her retention bonus in accordance with the terms and conditions of the executive’s Retention Agreement. The Retention Agreements were approved to address the specific needs of the Company surrounding the pendency and uncertainty of the Merger. Given these unique circumstances, the Company does not anticipate providing for further retention benefits.
Equity Compensation
The Company has not used newly issued shares or treasury shares to satisfy any equity awards granted under the PEP. Because the Company’s past and current practice is to only use shares acquired on the open market to satisfy awards of earned PSs and vested RSAs, the vesting of these awards does not increase the number of shares outstanding and does not have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. However, the awards are considered to be dilutive securities in the computation of earnings per share during the period from granting of the award until the awards are earned or become vested. The dilutive impact of these awards on earnings per share has not been significant.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
Consistent with past years, for 2023, long-term incentive awards under the LTIPs are delivered 70% in PSs and 30% in RSAs. For these years, the LTIPs have had the same award mix of 70% PSs (earned at the end of the respective three-year performance period) and 30% RSAs (discretionary awards based on each NEO’s position and base salary that are granted at the end of the respective three-year performance period and then vest equally over a three-year period thereafter). The 2021 LTIP award opportunities were benchmarked to the median of comparable positions in the 2021 Benchmark Data described in our 2022 proxy statement and the 2023 LTIP award opportunities were benchmarked to the median of the 2023 Benchmark Data.
The PSs awarded under the LTIPs are tied to three-year performance measures designed to support long-term goals. For 2022 and 2023, we used the two following performance metrics for the LTIP PS awards:
•Earnings Growth (targets are determined by the Board based on the Company’s long-range operating plan), and
•FFO/Debt Ratio (targets are determined by the Board based on the Company’s long-range operating plan).
From 2015 through 2021, we also used relative TSR as a metric. The Compensation and HC Committee had elected to suspend use of relative TSR as a metric in the LTIP given the contemplated Merger. As described in 2024 Compensation Actions, for 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee reintroduced relative TSR as a performance metric.
Together, these LTIP performance measures are designed to align our NEOs’ and other Officers’ interests with the long-term interests of the Company and our shareholders by tying incentives to earnings growth and credit metric objectives. For additional information on the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures of Earnings Growth and FFO/Debt Ratio, please see the Glossary of terms Used in this Prox y beginning on page ii and Adjustments for Certain Items on page 54.
48

The LTIP payout timeline demonstrates the long-term orientation of these plans. Individual opportunities under each LTIP are established in year one, earned over the three-year performance period, with PSs generally delivered early in year four and RSAs generally granted early in year four and vesting over a three-year period, following the grant date.
Settlement of 2021 LTIP Awards for the Performance Period 2021-2023
The NEOs earned PS awards under the 2021 LTIP at 113% of target, based on achieving Earnings Growth at the maximum level (weighted at 50%), relative TSR at the below threshold level (weighted at 25%) and FFO/Debt Ratio at the threshold level (weighted at 25%). The FFO/Debt Ratio performance metric excludes, among other things, the impact of acquisition activities. Performance results and related PSs received by the NEOs in March 2024, under the 2021 LTIP, were reviewed and approved by the Compensation and HC Committee and the independent members of the Board at its meeting in March 2024. The RSAs (that vest equally over a three-year period) were granted in February 2024. More detail can be found on page 59 in the Summary of Executive Compensation-Long-Term Incentive Awards section of 2023 NEO Compensation Information.
2023 LTIP Award Opportunities for the Performance Period 2023-2025
In February 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee approved the 2023 LTIP for the three-year performance period of 2023-2025; incentives, if earned, are anticipated to be awarded in early 2026. The 2023 LTIP reflects a continued focus on Earnings Growth. The PS award opportunities under the 2023 LTIP are based on Earnings Growth (weighted at 50%) and FFO/Debt Ratio (weighted at 50%). The 2023 LTIP target PS award opportunities for NEOs are shown in the table below. The PS and RSA opportunities, including the threshold, target and maximum levels determined by the Compensation and HC Committee for Earnings Growth and FFO/Debt Ratio under the 2023 LTIP, are set forth under the Summary of Executive Compensation-Long-Term Incentive Awards section of 2023 NEO Compensation Information on page 59.
In March 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee and Board amended the 2023 LTIP to provide for full (rather than pro-rata) earned PS award payments upon an NEO’s qualifying change in control termination, which is consistent with the Company’s past practices. In addition, the Company further amended the 2023 LTIP with respect to Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca to provide for a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards under the same conditions as other NEOs; namely, by providing for a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards upon termination of employment due to retirement, which is consistent with the Company’s past practices and the terms of the 2023 LTIP for the remaining NEOs.

1 As a percentage of base salary for the time period in which the NEO serves in the applicable position. The total target opportunity is comprised of a mix of 70% PSs and 30% RSAs. For PSs only, the threshold opportunity is half of the target opportunity and the maximum opportunity is two times the target opportunity. Such award opportunities were determined based on the NEO’s respective position and base salary. 2 Effective May 21, 2022, Mr. Tarry was promoted to President and COO of the Company from his prior position as SVP and CFO. In connection with his promotion, Mr. Tarry’s target award opportunity under the 2022 LTIP increased from 150% to 165%. Such increases are only applicable for the portion of 2022 during which he served as President and COO. 3 Effective May 21, 2022, Ms. Eden was promoted to SVP, CFO and Treasurer of the Company from her prior position as Vice President and Treasurer. In connection with her promotion, Ms. Eden’s target award opportunity under the 2022 LTIP increased from 50% to 85%, applicable for the portion of the year during which she served as SVP, CFO and Treasurer.

Deferred Compensation and Retirement Benefits
Our NEOs participate in the Company’s RSP (a broad-based 401(k) plan) and a non-qualified supplemental deferred compensation plan, the ESP II – which runs side-by-side with the RSP. Mr. Tarry also participates in the ERP, a traditional defined benefit plan, which was frozen to employees hired on or after January 1, 1998. These programs are described in more detail beginning on page 64.
Supplemental Benefits and Perquisites
In order to attract and retain key executive talent in an increasingly competitive marketplace, the Company provides its NEOs reasonable supplemental benefits as a part of their overall compensation and benefits. The 2023 supplemental benefits include: company-paid life insurance for NEOs, long term disability insurance, executive physicals, financial planning and the ECP. For Ms. Collawn, the Company also provides home security. The supplemental benefits are set forth in footnote 5 of the SCT on page 57.
Potential Severance Benefits
The Company offers severance benefits to the NEOs to mitigate the possible difficulty they may have finding comparable employment, within a reasonable period of time, following a separation from service. Under our Severance Plan, benefits are only payable if the NEO’s position is eliminated through no fault of his or her own. The Severance Plan and related benefits are described in more detail on page 68.
Potential Change in Control Benefits
The Company also recognizes, as is the case with many publicly-held companies, the possibility of a change in control. A change in control, combined with the uncertainty and the questions that it may raise, may potentially result in the departure of key management to the detriment of the Company and our shareholders. This could also impact the Company’s ability to continue to provide efficient and reliable utility services to our customers. The Company and the Compensation and HC Committee have determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Company’s key management to their assigned duties and to pursuing corporate transaction activity that is in the best interests of our customers and shareholders and to facilitate recruitment of future employees in the face of potentially challenging circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company. The Company and the Compensation and HC Committee have also concluded that it is appropriate to provide competitive and fair compensation and benefits to employees terminated under these circumstances through our Retention Plan.
The Retention Plan provides the NEOs with benefits if their employment is terminated, under certain circumstances, within 24 months following a change in control of the Company. The purpose of our Retention Plan is to better align the NEOs’ interests with the interests of our shareholders and to provide the NEOs with reasonable protection from loss of employment resulting from a change in control. The provision of benefits pursuant to the Retention Plan also facilitates our recruitment and retention of talented NEOs by providing reasonable and expected protections. Our Retention Plan and change in control benefits are described in more detail beginning on page 68.
ADMINISTRATION AND RESOURCES
Roles of the Compensation and HC Committee, Board of Directors and Executive Officers
Pursuant to its role as assigned by the Board, the Compensation and HC Committee is primarily responsible for the design and administration of our executive compensation program. Additionally, our Board, our NEOs and an independent compensation consultant play important roles. The Compensation and HC Committee establishes and periodically reviews all elements of our executive compensation program. The ultimate responsibility for determining the level of compensation paid to each of the NEOs, other than the CEO, resides with the Compensation and HC Committee. For the CEO, the Compensation and HC Committee makes a recommendation to our independent directors of the Board (a group that includes, but is not limited to, the members of the Compensation and HC Committee) regarding the level of the CEO’s compensation and the final decision is made by the independent directors. The Board, based on the recommendations of the Compensation and HC Committee, approves all equity compensation plans and equity awards for Officers. In setting (or recommending in the case of the CEO) specific compensation levels, the Compensation and HC Committee considers the CEO’s evaluation of the NEOs and the self-evaluation prepared by the CEO. The independent members of the Board take into consideration their evaluation of the CEO’s performance when approving or setting the CEO specific compensation levels. The CEO recommends corporate-level
50

performance goals to the Compensation and HC Committee for approval. The CEO provides regular input to the Compensation and HC Committee with respect to the overall structure of the executive compensation program, including how the program effectively aligns with the Company’s strategic objectives. However, the final decision related to the executive compensation program rests with the Compensation and HC Committee, with approval of the independent members of the Board, for all Officer equity plans, Officer equity awards and CEO compensation.
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation and HC Committee selects and retains an independent compensation consultant (at the Company’s expense) whose services include: providing peer group and market compensation data, providing information on trends and regulatory issues affecting executive pay, performing competitive market analysis, recommending compensation program and plan changes and recommending Officer compensation structure and levels. In May 2013, the Compensation and HC Committee selected Pay Governance to be its independent compensation consultant pursuant to the Compensation and HC Committee’s Policy Governing Fees and Services for Executive Compensation Consultants. Prior to engaging Pay Governance, and then on an annual basis, most recently at its December 2023 meeting, the Compensation and HC Committee evaluated Pay Governance’s independence as its compensation consultant by considering each of the independence factors specified by the NYSE and the SEC. Based on the evaluation, the Compensation and HC Committee determined that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Pay Governance from independently advising the Compensation and HC Committee. On occasion, the independent compensation consultant provides information to the members of management, but all its services are provided and performed at the request of and pursuant to instructions provided by the Compensation and HC Committee or the Nominating Committee. None of the NEOs are present during the Compensation and HC Committee’s discussions with the independent consultant regarding his or her individual compensation. During 2023, no services were provided to the Company by Pay Governance, other than the services that are described in this proxy statement.
The Compensation and HC Committee strives to provide target compensation opportunities that are at the median TDC of the appropriate benchmark group of companies, which reflect the market within which PNMR competes for executive talent. Information referenced in 2022 to assist in setting 2023 compensation levels was obtained and analyzed as follows:
•Management engaged WTW to perform a competitive assessment of the Company’s executive compensation program, including compensation opportunity levels for the CEO and other NEOs (the “WTW study”). Pay Governance reviewed the approach and the findings of the WTW study.
•The WTW study compared our NEO compensation to (1) market data for the PNMR Peer Group described below and (2) market data from the companies (listed in Appendix A) comprising the WTW 2022 General Industry Executive Survey Report - U.S. of general industry companies with data regressed to companies similarly sized to PNMR.
•For corporate-function roles, such as those of our NEOs, talent may be recruited by or lost to companies that are similar in size to the Company, which may or may not be in the utility/energy sector. Therefore, to determine overall market compensation levels, the benchmark analysis used the 2023 Benchmark Data.
•The median compensation levels of the 2023 Benchmark Data were the primary reference points used by the Compensation and HC Committee to evaluate the competitiveness of executive compensation. The Compensation and HC Committee used these figures to benchmark base salary, TCC and TDC paid to the NEOs (both individually and as a group) to similar types and elements of compensation paid to executives holding comparable positions in the marketplace.
PNMR Peer Group
Our peer group has been consistent from year to year and adjusted as needed for changes in the peer group due to mergers and acquisitions. The PNMR Peer Group was developed to reflect similarly sized utility companies that reflect the competitive market in which we might compete for talent. Prior to setting compensation levels for 2023, the Compensation and HC Committee determined that the PNMR Peer Group continued to be an appropriate peer group, based on the following criteria:
51

1. | Ownership structure (publicly-traded),
2. | Business focus (electric or natural gas utility and multi-utility companies),
3. | Size (between one-third and three times the Company’s size in terms of revenues),
4. | Organizational complexity,
5. | Operational characteristics (such as nuclear generation ownership, multi-state regulated utilities), and
6. | Likely competition for executive talent.

The following table lists the companies that comprised the PNMR Peer Group used in the 2022 Benchmark Data to set 2023 compensation levels.
PNMR PEER GROUP

ALLETE, Inc. | IDACORP, Inc. | ONE Gas, Inc.
Alliant Energy Corporation | MDU Resources Group, Inc. | Pinnacle West Capital Corporation
Avista Corporation | New Jersey Resources Corporation | Portland General Electric Company
Black Hills Corporation | NorthWestern Energy Group, Inc. * | Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc.
Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. | OGE Energy Corporation |
* NorthWestern Corporation changed their name to NorthWestern Energy Group in connection with their transition to a holding company structure

2024 COMPENSATION ACTIONS
In February 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee approved the following 2024 compensation actions. The Compensation and HC Committee increased the annual base salaries payable to our NEOs (with the independent directors approving the base salary increase for our CEO), effective March 16, 2024. The base salary increases were based on corporate and individual performance and on the current median base salaries for the corresponding executive positions in the 2024 Benchmark Data. The 2024 base salary increases are as follows: Ms. Collawn from $1,088,250 to $1,164,428; Mr. Tarry from $540,350 to $578,175; Mr. Apodaca from $412,983 to $429,503; and Ms. Eden from $401,250 to $421,313.
As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 6, 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee also approved the 2024 AIP. The 2024 AIP includes a financial goal of Incentive EPS (weighted 60%) and two operational goals, customer satisfaction (weighted 20%) and reliability (weighted 20%). No incentive award under the 2024 AIP will be paid if performance for the Incentive EPS goal is below the threshold level and incentive awards, if earned, will be capped at the maximum opportunity. Straight-line interpolation will determine the incentive award payout for performance that falls between threshold and target or target and maximum levels.
The Compensation and HC Committee and the Board also approved the 2024 LTIP. The 2024 LTIP award mix is comprised of 70% PSs and 30% RSAs. The PS awards pursuant to the 2024 LTIP for the three-year performance period of 2024-2026 aligns with our pay for performance objectives as well as industry trends and market practices. The PSs under the 2024 LTIP is based on three performance measures: Earnings Growth (targets are determined by the Board based on the Company’s long-range operating plan); FFO/Debt Ratio (targets are determined by the Board based on the Company’s long-range operating plan); and relative TSR weighted 50%, 25% and 25%, respectively. Each of the Earnings Growth, relative TSR and FFO/Debt Ratio performance measures for the 2024 LTIP has a threshold, target and maximum award opportunity. The RSAs issuable pursuant to the 2024 LTIP may be awarded in early 2027, following the end of the performance period, and any awarded RSAs will vest over three years thereafter, subject to the Officers continuing employment on the date the RSAs are granted.
Consistent with the 2021 LTIP, in February 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee approved an award of RSAs under the 2021 LTIP at the end of the three-year performance period in the following amounts: Ms. Collawn 25,727 shares; Mr. Tarry 7,268 shares; Mr. Apodaca 2,861 shares; and Ms. Eden 2,780 shares. These RSAs will vest over a three-year period through March 7, 2027.
On March 1, 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee and Board amended the 2023 LTIP to provide for full (rather than pro-rata) earned PS award payments upon an NEO’s qualifying change in control termination. In addition, the Company further
52

amended the 2023 LTIP with respect to Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca to provide for a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards under the same conditions as other NEOs - namely, by providing for a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards upon termination of employment due to retirement, which is consistent with past practice and the terms of the 2023 LTIP for the remaining NEOs.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Corporate Governance
The Company and the Compensation and HC Committee continue to monitor corporate governance best practices and give consideration to incorporating them into our compensation processes and policies, as appropriate.
Sustainability
The Company’s sustainability programs are described on page 11 of this proxy statement. The Board and the Compensation and HC Committee believe that the Company’s compensation program and corporate governance requirements motivate our NEOs to operate the Company’s businesses in a sustainable manner that balances the interests of our customers and our other stakeholders while creating long-term value for shareholders. The Board and the Compensation and HC Committee also believe that our current compensation program, which emphasizes incentive-driven pay earned over the long-term based on PNM Resources’ stock and earnings performance and credit metric objectives, creates a strong incentive for the NEOs to operate the Company’s business in a sustainable manner. Our share price and earnings performance and financial strength are likely to be enhanced by our utility subsidiaries delivering sustainable, diverse and affordable power in ways that protect the environment, ensure reliability and increase the use of renewable energy.
Clawback Policy
In August 2023 to comply with the recently effective NYSE rules, the Board approved an updated Clawback Policy that became effective as of December 1, 2023. The Clawback Policy applies to PNMR’s current and former Section 16 officers and any other current or former Officer of PNMR who receives any incentive compensation (each a “Covered Individual”). The policy applies to all incentive compensation, including any AIP awards and equity-based compensation. Clawback under the policy is triggered by (1) an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws (a “Restatement”) or (2) any improper conduct by a Covered Individual. If a Restatement occurs, the Company will recover the difference between the amount of incentive compensation paid to the Covered Individual and the amount that should have been paid to such Covered Individual in the absence of the Restatement. If a Covered Individual engages in improper conduct, the Company may recover the full amount of any incentive compensation that is attributable or relates to the period during which the improper conduct occurred. Any clawback that is triggered by the NYSE rules shall be handled in accordance with such rules.
Insider Trading Policy; No Hedging or Pledging of Company Stock
As discussed on page 11 of this proxy statement, the Company’s Insider Trading Policy prohibits all Officers, directors and employees from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions that allow a person to lock in much of the value of his or her Company securities, such as zero-cost collars and forward sales contracts. Further, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits all directors and executive officers, including the NEOs, from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.
Double Trigger Vesting Following a Change in Control
The PEP includes, as a general rule, double trigger vesting following a change in control. Double trigger vesting results only if an NEO is terminated without cause or is constructively terminated following a change in control. See Payments Made Upon a Change in Control section of 2023 NEO Compensation Information beginning on page 68.
CEO and Officer Succession Planning
The Board, including the members of the Compensation and HC Committee, reviews the CEO and Officer succession planning on an annual basis. The succession planning process is designed to ensure that internal candidates are identified and developed well before the position may need to be filled. The succession planning process addresses both short-term and long-term potential succession needs.
53

Equity Ownership Holding Guidelines
To maintain alignment between our NEOs and shareholders, the Company continues to provide equity-based compensation and has adopted ownership holding guidelines, the Equity Ownership Guidelines for PNMR Officers, as amended. The ownership holding guidelines provide that each NEO should own PNMR equity having a value equal to a specified multiple of the NEO’s base salary. The multiples range from three (3) to five (5) times base salary, depending upon the position of the NEO. The ownership holding guidelines also require that each NEO retain 100% of any equity he or she receives under our PEP (after withholding to satisfy tax obligations) until he or she has achieved the applicable guideline multiple, including after subsequently falling below the applicable guideline multiple.
The Compensation and HC Committee believes these guidelines further align the interests of NEOs with the interests of shareholders by ensuring that the NEOs maintain a significant long-term stake in the Company and are subject to the risks of equity ownership. All equity that the Officer holds either directly or indirectly, including any unvested RSAs, any earned PSs, any investment in the PNM Resources, Inc. Common Stock Fund held in the RSP and any hypothetical investment in the PNM Resources, Inc. Common Stock Fund held in the ESP II, count toward compliance with the ownership holding guidelines. The Compensation and HC Committee reviews compliance with the ownership holding requirements on an annual basis for all NEOs and did so most recently at its February 2024 meeting. As of December 29, 2023, the NEO equity ownership holdings were as noted below:
2023 EQUITY OWNERSHIP HOLDING GUIDELINES

NEO | Holding Requirement as a multiple of base salary* | Actual Holdings as a multiple of base salary*
P. K. Collawn | 5X | 31.5X
J. D. Tarry | 3X | 2.5X
P. V. Apodaca | 3X | 10.0X
E. A. Eden | 3X | 2.0X
R. N. Darnell | 3X | 5.7X
* Based on 12/29/2023 closing price on the NYSE of $41.60 and the NEO’s 2023 base salary.

As of December 29, 2023, three of the NEOs exceeded the applicable holding requirements. Given Mr. Tarry’s and Ms. Eden’s tenures as NEOs, and the equity retention requirements for LTIP award shares, the Compensation and HC Committee believes Mr. Tarry and Ms. Eden are making reasonable progress towards achieving the holding guidelines. The current holdings of each NEO are shown on page 19.
Impact of Tax and Accounting Requirements
The Compensation and HC Committee evaluates costs and cash flow implications of compensation to maximize financial efficiencies. Since the repeal of the performance-based exception to the deduction limit in the Tax Code, deductibility is no longer a significant factor in determining executive compensation. In 2023, we paid compensation for our NEOs of approximately $5.3 million that may not be deductible for tax purposes.
Adjustments for Certain Items
Consistent with past practice and based on criteria determined at the beginning of the performance period, the Compensation and HC Committee may, subject to compliance with an applicable plan or award agreement(s) as well as applicable law or regulations, adjust the performance measures underlying certain incentive compensation awards to eliminate the effects of certain items. The adjustments are intended to ensure that award payments are based on the underlying performance of the Company’s core business and are not artificially inflated or deflated due to such effects in the award year. The adjustments made for 2023 award calculations for Incentive EPS, Earnings Growth and the FFO/Debt Ratio are reflected in the definitions as set forth in the Glossary of Terms Used in this Proxy. These defined terms are used solely for measuring performance for compensation purposes and should not be considered earnings guidance by the Company.

(1) 2023 salary amounts include cash compensation earned by each NEO during 2023, and in the case of Mr. Darnell, included payment of unused Paid Time Off upon his retirement. This also includes any amounts earned in 2023 but contributed into the RSP and the ESP II. For amounts deferred pursuant to the ESP II, see the 2023 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table.
(2) Represents the grant date fair value of all stock awards calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. For 2023, the amount indicated is the aggregate grant date fair value of all grants of (A) RSAs granted on February 28, 2023 (shown as RSA in the GPBA Table) and (B) PS awards (shown as PS in the GPBA Table), based on the target level of performance, which the Company considered the probable outcome on the grant date. The assumptions used in determining the grant date fair value of stock awards are set forth in Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The actual cash value that the NEO may realize on the vesting of the RSAs or PSs will depend on the number of shares that ultimately vest, the market price of our common stock at the date of vesting, and ultimately, the value received by the employee on the sale of the stock. RSAs vest over a three-year period beginning on March 7th following the first anniversary of the grant date. The following table shows the grant date fair value of all 2023 stock awards assuming maximum performance of the 2023 LTIP PSs (shown as PS in the GPBA Table) and the actual RSA awards shown in the GPBA Table. As discussed above, the amount reflected in column (e) of the SCT assumes target performance of PS awards. Both column (e) of the SCT and the following table also include the grant date fair value of the actual RSA awards.

P. V. Apodaca | 917,923 |
E. A. Eden | 541,805 |
R. N. Darnell | 463,443 |

(3) Column (g) of the SCT for 2023 reflects the actual amount of annual incentive cash awards earned in 2023 under the 2023 AIP (shown as AIP awards in the GPBA Table).
(4) There are no above-market or preferential rate earnings to report for the ESP II. Only Mr. Tarry participates in the ERP and is eligible for post-retirement medical benefits.
(5) The following table reflects the types and dollar amounts of perquisites, additional compensation and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs during 2023. For purposes of computing the dollar amounts of the items listed below, we used the actual out-of-pocket costs to the Company of providing the perquisite or other personal benefit to the NEOs. The NEOs paid any taxes associated with these benefits without reimbursement from the Company.
(6) The Company executed retention agreements with Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca effective December 5, 2023 and with Mr. Tarry effective December 4, 2023. The agreements included cash payments in 2023 of $375,000, $125,000 and $250,000, respectively. For additional details, please refer to the Retention Agreements section of the Elements of Executive Compensation beginning on page 47.
(7) The Company entered into a retention agreement with Ms. Eden effective October 20, 2020. Per the agreement, Ms. Eden was paid $70,000 at the attainment of the first retention date, January 15, 2023.
(8) Mr. Darnell retired from the Company July 10, 2023.

Annual Incentive Awards
The objective of the 2023 AIP was to motivate the eligible NEOs to achieve certain performance goals tied to the Company’s financial and operational results. In order to ensure that awards were funded by the Company’s earnings, no awards were to be made under the 2023 AIP unless the Company achieved Incentive EPS of at least $2.65. Maximum awards were to be made at Incentive EPS levels of $2.82 or higher. In 2023, the Company’s Incentive EPS for the eligible NEOs was $2.82 resulting in achievement of maximum performance level. The Company achieved between threshold and target performance level for the reliability goal. Customer Satisfaction is comprised of two measurements, the PNM Research and Polling Survey, achieved at the below threshold performance level, and TNMP REP Satisfaction, achieved at the maximum performance level. See the performance results noted on the corporate scorecard below.
The 2023 AIP plan goals were established for the participating NEOs in order to achieve alignment with the corporate strategy of the Company. A more detailed description of each listed NEO’s award opportunities and performance goals under the 2023 AIP, as well as the actual awards approved in February 2024, are set forth below.

NEO Incentive Goals and Results
CORPORATE SCORECARD

Goal | Weight | Threshold 50% | Target 100% | Maximum 200% | 2023 Results | Weighted Results
PNMR Incentive EPS | 60% of Scorecard | ≥$2.65/share | ≥$2.72/share | ≥$2.82/share | $2.82/share (200% of target award level) 1 | 120%
Customer Satisfaction (measured by PNM Research and Polling Survey) (weighted average score) | 15% of Scorecard | 7.6 | 7.7 | 8.0 | 7.3 (0% of target award level) | 0%
Customer Satisfaction (measured by TNMP REP Satisfaction) (weighted average score) | 5% of Scorecard | 3.7 | 3.9 | 4.3 | 4.4 (200% of target award level) | 10%
Reliability (measured by PNM & TNMP SAIDI) (weighted respectively, 70% - 30%) | 20% of Scorecard | 107 | 102 | 94 | 105 (68% of target award level) | 14%
Aggregate Performance Results |  |  |  | 144%

1 $2.82/share performance results in a 200% multiplier for the Incentive EPS goal. When the 60% weighting is applied, this results in a 120% weighted score.
Under the 2023 AIP, Ms. Collawn was eligible to receive a target award level of 115% of her base salary as of December 31, 2023. Based on Ms. Collawn’s aggregate performance results, she received an award equal to 166% of her base salary.
Under the 2023 AIP, Mr. Tarry was eligible to receive a target award level of 70% of his base salary as of December 31, 2023. Based on Mr. Tarry’s aggregate performance results, he received an award equal to 101% of his base salary.
Under the 2023 AIP, Ms. Eden was eligible to receive a target award level of 60% of her base salary as of December 31, 2023. Based on Ms. Eden’s aggregate performance results, she received an award equal to 86% of her base salary.
Under the 2023 AIP, Mr. Apodaca and Mr. Darnell were eligible to receive a target level award of 55% of each of their base salaries as of December 31, 2023. Based on the aggregate performance results, each received an award equal to 79% of their base salary, which in the case of Mr. Darnell was prorated based on his retirement from the Company on July 10, 2023.
Long-Term Incentive Awards
2023 LTIP Goals for the Performance Period 2023-2025
Consistent with our pay for performance philosophy, 70% of the NEO’s total 2023 long-term incentive compensation opportunities are dependent upon the Company’s achievement of two performance goals (Earnings Growth and FFO/Debt Ratio) over the 2023-2025 performance period. No PSs (shown as PS in the GPBA Table) will be earned by or paid to our NEOs if actual performance over the 2023-2025 performance period is below the threshold levels set forth in the following table. The remaining 30% of the total 2023 long-term incentive opportunities for NEOs is comprised of RSAs (shown as RSA in the GPBA Table) that will be awarded by the Compensation and HC Committee at the end of the performance period, subject to the Officer’s continuing employment on the date the RSAs are awarded. The RSAs will vest over a three-year period thereafter. Generally, a PS award will not be paid to an Officer who separates from service in the first half of the performance period for any reason other than a qualifying change in control termination. After the first half of the performance period, a prorated PS award will be paid to an NEO who separates from service due to death, disability, impaction or retirement, which will be calculated based on actual performance and the number of full months of service completed by the Officer during the performance period. On March 1, 2024, the Compensation and HC Committee and
59

Board amended the 2023 LTIP to provide for full (rather than pro-rata) earned PS award payments upon an NEO’s qualifying change in control termination. In addition, the Company further amended the 2023 LTIP with respect to Ms. Collawn and Mr. Apodaca to provide a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards under the same conditions as other NEOs, namely by providing for a pro-rata payment of the earned PS awards upon termination of employment due to retirement.
2023 LTIP PS AWARDS PERFORMANCE GOAL TABLE

Corporate Goal | Weight | Threshold | Target | Maximum
Earnings Growth | 50% | ≥ 2.0% | ≥ 3.0% | ≥ 5.0%
FFO/Debt Ratio | 50% | ≥13% | ≥14% | ≥16%

LTIP Awards Earned for the Performance Period 2021-2023
In 2021, the Compensation and HC Committee approved the 2021 LTIP for the three-year performance period of 2021-2023. Information regarding the threshold, target and maximum performance targets for the 2021-2023 performance period under the 2021 LTIP for Earnings Growth, relative TSR (relative to the EEI Index) and FFO/Debt Ratio and the actual 2021-2023 performance results are set forth in the table following.
EARNINGS GROWTH, TSR, AND FFO/DEBT RATIO ACHIEVEMENT
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 FOR PERFORMANCE PERIOD 2021-2023

Corporate Goal | Weight | Threshold | Target | Maximum | 2021-2023 Actual Results | Weighted Results
Earnings Growth | 50% | ≥ 3.0% | ≥ 5.0% | ≥ 7.0% | 7.3% | 100%
Relative TSR | 25% | > 35 th percentile | > 50 th percentile | > 90 th percentile | 13.1 st percentile | 0%
FFO/Debt Ratio | 25% | ≥13.0% | ≥14.0% | ≥16.0% | 13.0% | 13%
Aggregate Performance Results |  |  |  | 113%

The amount of PS awards payable at threshold, target and maximum performance was set forth in the GPBA Table in the 2022 proxy statement. In February 2024, the PS awards for the 2021-2023 performance period were determined to be earned at 113% of target, based on the above actual aggregate performance results for the 2021-2023 performance period. Actual result and weighted result include adjustments to exclude acquisition activities from the FFO/Debt ratio discussed on page 49.

Retirement Benefits
Tax-Qualified Retirement Plans Available to all Eligible Employees
The retirement benefits under the tax-qualified plans for NEOs are the same as those available for other eligible employees of the Company. The RSP is a 401(k) plan that allows before-tax and after-tax contributions by employees and Company-matching and age-based contributions. The age-based contributions provide for varying contribution rates, from 3% to 10%, depending on the employee’s age, with the highest contribution rate applying to those employees who are 55 or older. Employees direct their own investments in the RSP. The RSP includes a Roth 401(k) feature, which allows an employee to make post-tax contributions that do not reduce the employee’s current taxable income. Withdrawals and other distributions from the Roth 401(k) feature are generally tax free.
Age-based contributions are made regardless of whether the employee defers compensation into the RSP. All of the Company’s contributions to the RSP are in cash, not shares of common stock. Employees may invest in shares of PNM Resources common stock by allocating up to 20% of their respective RSP account balances into a Company stock fund, which is one of 24 investment options under the RSP. All contributions made under the RSP vest immediately.
The RSP results in individual participant balances that reflect a combination of: (1) the employee deferring a portion of cash compensation; (2) annual matching contributions made on behalf of the employee; (3) the age-based contributions made on behalf of the employee in an amount ranging from 3% to 10% of eligible compensation; (4) the annual contributions and deferred amounts being invested at the direction of the employee (the same investment choices are available to all employees); and (5) as in (4), the continuing reinvestment of the investment returns until the accounts are paid out. This means that similarly situated employees, including the NEOs, may have materially different account balances because of a combination of factors including: the number of years they have participated in the RSP, the amount of money contributed, or compensation deferred, at the election of the employee from year to year and the investments chosen by the employee. The RSP does not guarantee minimum returns or above-market returns and an employee’s returns are dependent upon actual investment results.
The ERP is a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan. The ERP provides retirement income based on the employee’s highest three-year average pay as of 1997, social security covered compensation and the length of service upon separation.
Compensation consists of base salary and includes any amount voluntarily deferred under the RSP.
64

Generally, compensation for these purposes does not include bonuses, payments for accrued vacation, or overtime pay. The ERP was closed to new employees hired on or after January 1, 1998. Prior to January 1, 1998, employees who had at least one year of service and who had attained the age of 21 were eligible to become participants. The ERP was amended as of January 1, 1998, to limit an employee’s credited service to the credited service earned as of December 31, 1997, plus a limited amount of future service. The amount of credited service after December 31, 1997 is based on the employee’s age and years of credited service as of December 31, 1997, but all credited service accruals ceased as of January 1, 2008. Participants in the ERP continue to accrue “total service,” which is the service measure used for purposes of determining an employee’s vesting and eligibility for early and other retirement benefits. An employee’s earnings used for ERP benefit calculations were frozen as of December 31, 1997.
The maximum number of years generally taken into account for purposes of calculating benefits is 32.5. Under limited circumstances, an employee working beyond age 62 could earn an additional 3% retirement benefit. Service begins accumulating from the date of hire and vesting occurs after five years of total service.
Pension Benefits Table
The table below shows the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits payable to the NEO who is a participant under the ERP using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in our financial statements. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 regarding the valuation method and material assumptions applied in quantifying the present value of the ERP benefits.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
Non-Tax Qualified Retirement Plans
The Tax Code imposes a limitation on the amount of compensation that can be considered when determining the amount of the matching contributions and age-based contributions to the RSP. The Tax Code also limits the maximum amount that can be contributed by any participant as well as employer contributions and other amounts that can be allocated to any participant’s account.
Our current non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the ESP II, addresses these Tax Code limitations by providing Officers the opportunity to supplement their retirement savings and to receive the full employer contributions that would be available in the absence of the limitations imposed by the Tax Code. The ESP II runs side-by-side with the RSP.
For plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2014, matching credits under the ESP II are limited only to a participant that has “excess compensation,” which is compensation in excess of the limit imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Tax Code ($330,000 in 2023) for the relevant plan year. The matching credit is in an amount equal to 75% of the participant’s supplemental deferrals, provided that the matching credit shall not exceed an amount equal to 75% of the first 6% of excess compensation. A participant shall be eligible to receive a matching credit under the ESP II only if such participant has met the service requirements necessary to receive RSP matching contributions for that plan year. Additionally, when a participant reaches the annual compensation limit under the Tax Code in the RSP, our age-based contribution continues to the ESP II.
The ESP II also provides for supplemental target contributions that are set to achieve competitive retirement pay replacement ratios of between 40% and 55% of pre-retirement income depending on years of service and age at retirement. All NEOs have attained their targeted retirement pay replacement ratios and the Company is no longer making supplemental target contributions to the ESP II. For participants, like Mr. Tarry and Ms. Eden, who became eligible to receive a supplemental target contribution on or after January 1, 2016, the supplemental target contribution is based on market conditions as of the date that the eligible Officer was hired or first became eligible for a supplemental target contribution. Based on current market conditions, neither Mr. Tarry nor Ms. Eden is eligible to receive a supplemental target contribution under the ESP II.
65

Additionally, the Compensation and HC Committee may elect to make discretionary credits or discretionary contributions to the ESP II for a participant during a plan year in any amount, and on such terms and conditions, as the Compensation and HC Committee deems appropriate.
Upon enrollment in the ESP II, participants make an election regarding the form of their distribution. They may elect to receive a lump sum payment or installment payments. For distribution elections made after December 31, 2014, the ESP II Plan distribution options no longer include annuities and installment payments are limited to five or ten years.
Participants become entitled to a distribution under the ESP II upon their separation from service, death, disability or upon a specified date elected by the participant, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Tax Code. Effective for amounts credited to participant accounts for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, the specified date distribution option is not available. Participants also may elect to have the portion of their account that is hypothetically invested in a Company stock fund distributed in shares of our common stock in lieu of cash. ESP II amounts are subject to the same vesting and investment provisions as under the RSP, with the exception of the supplemental credit account under the ESP II, which has a two-year vesting requirement that may be accelerated. Participants’ accounts in the ESP II are unfunded obligations, including the increases and decreases based on “investment” of the balances reflected as hypothetical returns equal to the actual returns of investments designated by a participant or the Company. Unless the participant elected to receive amounts credited prior to January 1, 2015 on a specified date, benefits payable under the ESP II will be paid, as a general rule, within 90 days of the participant’s separation from service, death or disability, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Tax Code. Participants hypothetically invest their deferrals and employer contributions in the ESP II in the same investment options as are available under the RSP. Participants may change their investment selections on a daily basis. The following table shows the funds available under the RSP and their annual rate of return for the calendar year ending December 31, 2023, as reported by the administrator of the RSP.

As a general rule, supplemental contributions to the ESP II vest after two years or the first of the following to occur: (1) the Officer attaining age 55 with two years of service, (2) the Officer’s normal retirement date, (3) the Officer’s disability, or (4) the Officer’s death. All NEOs are fully vested in their supplemental target contributions to the ESP II. Any unvested supplemental target contribution is also subject to accelerated vesting and payment upon certain termination events discussed below under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
As discussed on page 50 under Potential Change in Control Benefits, we believe that our executive officers are important for our success and it is important to align their interests with our shareholders in the event of a change in control by providing reasonable change in control benefits. The table beginning on page 70 illustrates the amounts payable to each of the NEOs in the event of a termination of his or her employment, whether voluntary or involuntary. Also included are additional payments in connection with his or her retirement, death, disability or involuntary termination following a change in control. The amounts shown: (1) assume a termination effective as of December 31, 2023, (2) are based on the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2023, as reported on the NYSE ($41.60), and (3) are estimates of the amounts that would be paid to each NEO based upon the amounts earned through the end of 2023. The precise amount actually due to any NEO upon his or her termination can only be determined at the time of the termination.
Payments Made Upon Termination
The table below does not include the following amounts earned through the assumed termination date of December 31, 2023: (1) base salary (disclosed in column (c) of the SCT), (2) accrued but unused paid time off, (3) amounts contributed by the NEO and vested amounts contributed by the Company under the RSP (our 401(k) plan available to all our employees) and ESP II (the year-end vested ESP II account balances are set forth above in the 2023 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table), (4) retirement benefits under the ERP (the present value of the accumulated benefits are set forth above in the Pension Benefits 2023 table), and (5) outstanding vested stock options and RSAs that were vested and delivered on or before December 31, 2023. If an NEO is terminated for “cause,” vested and unexercised stock options and any undelivered vested RSAs or PSs are forfeited. The 2023 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation table shows that there were no unvested Company contributions to the NEOs ESP II accounts as of December 31, 2023 and so the table below does not address the termination events that would result in accelerated vesting or forfeiture of any such unvested ESP II amounts.
Additional Payments Made Upon Retirement
In addition to the amounts described above, upon an NEO’s termination of employment because of retirement (upon the occurrence of a certain age and/or service conditions as defined in the relevant plan), all of his or her outstanding RSAs granted under the PEP will immediately vest. Further, the Officer will be eligible to receive a pro-rata portion of his or her PS awards, granted under the applicable LTIP, if the Officer separates from service in the second half of the performance period and the relevant performance goals are attained at the end of the performance period. As of December 31, 2023, all of our NEOs are retirement eligible under the PEP.
Additional Payments Made Upon Death or Disability
In addition to the amounts described above, if an NEO dies or becomes disabled, he or she will receive payments under our basic and supplemental life, accidental death and dismemberment and disability programs that are generally available to all employees. Additionally, if an NEO dies, his or her beneficiary will receive payments under the management life insurance and, if applicable, officer life insurance.
Severance Payments
In addition to the amounts described above, if we terminate the employment of an NEO because we eliminate his or her position, the table beginning on page 70 reflects the amounts payable under our Severance Plan. This plan covers all non-union employees (including the NEOs) who satisfy the Severance Plan’s service requirement and whose positions are eliminated. Members of the Officer group (which includes all NEOs) are eligible, upon signing a customary release agreement, for a lump sum severance payment equal to 14 months of base salary plus one additional week of base salary for each year of service. The severance benefit is capped so as to not exceed the lump sum severance payment at a level equal to what an Officer would receive under the Retention Plan. Members of the Officer group also are eligible to receive reimbursement for placement assistance expenses (up to 5% of base salary) and continuation of certain insurance benefits and health care benefits for up to 12 months. If an individual receives benefits under a Retention Plan as discussed below in the Payments Made Upon a Change in Control section, severance benefits are not available under the Severance Plan.
Payments Made Upon a Change in Control
In addition to the amounts described above (other than the severance pay), if an NEO’s employment is terminated within 24 months in connection with a change in control, either by us without cause or by the NEO due to a constructive termination, the NEO will receive additional payments and benefits (including special severance benefits) under the Retention Plan, which
68

covers all of the Officers, including the NEOs. Benefits are only payable if the Officer is not retained or immediately re-employed (“double trigger”) by the successor company following a change in control and if the termination is (1) by the Company for reasons other than cause, death or disability, or (2) by the Officer due to constructive termination. The Officer must sign a customary release agreement to receive benefits. All Officers, including the NEOs, would receive the benefits provided under the Retention Plan as highlighted below. The amounts shown are estimates of amounts that would be payable to the NEOs based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur, including assumptions described in this proxy statement. Some of the assumptions are based on information not currently available and, as a result, the actual amounts received by an NEO may differ materially from the amounts shown in the following table.
The benefits include:
•A lump sum severance payment equal to two times current eligible compensation for the NEOs;
•Eligible compensation includes base salary, any cash award paid as a merit increase in lieu of base salary and the average of the AIP awards for the three calendar years immediately preceding;
•A pro-rata award of the NEO’s annual incentive based on the target award available under the applicable plan for the relevant performance period, unless the NEO received or will receive an AIP payment for the calendar year in which the NEO’s employment is terminated;
•Medical, dental, vision, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance benefits for a period of 24 months that are substantially similar to those received by the NEO immediately prior to termination of employment;
•NEOs must sign a restrictive covenant agreement not to compete in order to participate in the Retention Plan. If an NEO signs a restrictive covenant agreement, the NEO will be compensated for the period of time during which the restrictions are in effect. If the NEO does not sign the agreement in a timely manner, then the NEO(s) will not be entitled to any benefits under the Retention Plan. All eligible NEOs have signed the required restrictive covenant agreements. As such, the period of time covered for which an NEO will be compensated for the restrictive covenant, in the case of a change in control, is an amount equal to the NEO’s eligible compensation paid over a 12-month period; and
•Reimbursement of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred as a result of termination of employment.
The Company does not provide a gross up for excise taxes and utilizes the “best net” approach.
The Company also sponsors certain other plans in which the NEOs participate that contain provisions that are triggered by a change in control.
The PEP contains double trigger vesting following a change in control. Upon a qualifying change in control termination (which requires a termination of employment by the Company for any reason other than cause, death, disability or a termination by an Officer due to constructive termination), all outstanding, unvested stock option awards, and all RSA awards will vest. Under the 2021 and 2022 LTIPs each NEO will receive a full PS award subject to the attainment of the relevant performance goals. The 2023 LTIP provides that each NEO will receive a pro-rata PS award subject to the attainment of the relevant performance goals. The 2023 LTIP was amended on March 1, 2024 to provide for a full PS award upon a qualifying change in control termination.
A summary of the material provisions of the definition of “Change in Control” contained in the Retention Plan and related plans are as follows:
1.Subject to certain exceptions, any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock;
2.During any consecutive two-year period, the following individuals cease, for any reason, to constitute a majority of the Board: (i) directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period and (ii) any new directors whose election by the Board or nomination for election by our shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were elected at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, but not including any such new directors designated by a person who entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in parts 1, 3 or 4 of this definition summary;
3.Our shareholders approve a merger or consolidation with another company, corporation or subsidiary that is not affiliated with us immediately before the change in control, unless the merger or consolidation results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation continuing to represent at
69

least 60% of the Company’s combined voting power of such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
4.The adoption of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or any agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
No change in control will be deemed to have occurred until all required regulatory approvals are obtained and the transaction that would otherwise be considered to be a change in control closes.
The following table summarizes the value of the termination payments and benefits that the NEO would have received if he or she had terminated employment on December 31, 2023, under the circumstances shown, and based on the terms of the relevant plans as of December 31, 2023. The table excludes amounts which are generally available to all our employees, such as (1) amounts accrued through December 31, 2023 that would be paid in the normal course of continued employment, such as accrued but unpaid salary and (2) vested account balances under the RSP.

CEO Pay Ratio
Under rules issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, which apply to most publicly-traded companies, PNM Resources is required to disclose the ratio between our CEO’s pay and the pay of our median employee. Our CEO pay ratio is calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our payroll records and methodologies described below. The SEC rules for identifying median compensation allow companies to use a variety of methodologies. Therefore, the CEO pay ratios reported by other publicly-traded companies may not be comparable to our CEO pay ratio.
As previously disclosed, each Officer’s compensation is based on several factors, including an annual assessment of whether our compensation programs and levels are competitive. That assessment process includes benchmarking and is described in more detail beginning on page 45 of this proxy statement. Our Officers’ compensation is also more variable, and includes more “at-risk” elements of compensation, as compared to the compensation of our median employee, because our Officers’ compensation depends more heavily on the actual performance of the Company. These variability and “at-risk” factors are especially relevant in the case of our CEO, whose compensation is significantly more dependent on the Company’s actual
72

performance than is the compensation of our median employee. As a result, our CEO pay ratio may vary over time and will tend to be relatively higher when the Company performs at a high level.
We determined our CEO pay ratio for 2023 using the following steps:
1. The Company defined the relevant employee population, which included all employees of PNM Resources, Inc. and its affiliates as of December 31, 2023.
2. The Company identified its median employee for purposes of calculating the CEO pay ratio using a consistently applied compensation measure of actual total cash compensation, inclusive of overtime and differentials, paid in 2023 to each member of the employee population.
3. The CEO pay ratio was determined by comparing the total CEO 2023 compensation reported in the SCT on page 56 to the total compensation paid to the median employee of $132,160 (which consisted of, as applicable, base salary, overtime and differentials, bonuses, cash incentive awards, equity grants, benefits from applicable defined benefit plan and post-retirement medical plans, qualified and non-qualified retirement benefit contributions, executive physicals, life insurance premiums, long term disability premiums, ECP amounts, payments for personal security and other compensation payments.) For further detail regarding the elements of the total CEO 2023 compensation, see the SCT on page 56.
Based on the process and calculations described above, our CEO pay ratio for 2023 was 58:1, meaning that our CEO’s total compensation for 2023 was approximately 58 times the total compensation paid to our median employee in 2023.
Pay Versus Performance
Under rules issued pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, PNM Resources is providing the following information about the relationships between executive compensation actually paid and certain measures of financial performance of the Company. SEC rules prescribed the disclosure included in this section, and the information does not necessarily align with how the Company or the Compensation and HC Committee view the link between the Company’s performance and its NEOs’ pay. See Executive Compensation-Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 39 for additional information about our pay for performance and how the Company aligns executive compensation with its performance.

Incentive EPS is defined as corporate diluted earnings per share, excluding certain terms that do not factor into ongoing earnings. For 2023, Incentive EPS of $2.82 equals net earnings attributable to PNMR per common stock share (as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022) of $1.02 adjusted to exclude: (1) $(0.29) per share attributable to the net change in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities; (2) $2.09 per share attributable to regulatory disallowances and restructuring costs; (3) $0.02 per share attributable to pension expense related to previously disposed of gas distribution business; (4) $(0.01) per share attributable to Merger related costs; and (5) $(0.01) per share attributable to San Juan Generating Station retirement income tax adjustments.
(9) The Total Shareholder Return values for 2021 and 2020 reported herein differ from those included in our 2023 proxy statement, which were incorrectly stated as $105 and $95, respectively.
(10) The Peer Group Total Shareholder Return values for 2022 and 2021 reported herein differ from those included in our 2023 proxy statement, which were incorrectly stated as $115 and $115, respectively.
Descriptions of Relationships of Information Presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table
Compensation Actually Paid and TSR
Compensation actually paid is generally aligned with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the period presented because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid comprises equity-based compensation.
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Earnings
Although the Company does not use net earnings as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program, net earnings is similar to Incentive EPS, which the Company uses to determine awards under the AIP.

Compensation Actually Paid and Incentive EPS
While the Company uses multiple financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Incentive EPS is the financial performance measure that represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs, for the most recently completed year, to the Company’s performance.
Most Important Performance Measures
Listed below are the financial and non-financial performance measures that represent the most important performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs, for 2023, to the Company’s performance:

Most Important Performance Measures

| (a) | (b) | (c)
Plan Category | Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (#) | Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights ($) | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (#)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders | 635,941 (1) | 43.10 (1) | 2,117,538

The 2014 PEP has a fungible design that charges the authorized pool (5) shares for each full value award. On May 9, 2023, the Board approved the 2023 PEP, which replaced the 2014 PEP. The 2023 PEP does not have a fungible design. Following the approval of the 2023 PEP, no new awards may be made under the 2014 PEP. The 2023 PEP authorized 2,500,000 shares including the number of shares that were authorized but unissued under the 2014 PEP. As of December 31, 2023, 2,442,712 shares remain available for future issuance. (2) Under the ESP II (as referenced under the Non-Tax Qualified Retirement Plans section on page 65), a participant may choose to invest his or her accounts in one or more of several hypothetical investment funds, including the PNM Resources, Inc. Common Stock Fund, which provides for returns based on a hypothetical investment in shares of common stock of PNM Resources. A participant who chooses to invest in the PNM Resources, Inc. Common Stock Fund may elect to settle that portion of his or her account in either common stock or cash. As reflected above in column (a), as of December 31, 2023, a total of 102,178 phantom shares of PNM Resources’ common stock were allocated to participants in the ESP II.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING
1. Why did I receive these proxy materials?
You are receiving these materials because you owned shares of our common stock as of April 15, 2024, and are therefore eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting.
After reading the proxy statement, please promptly vote by telephone or internet or by signing and returning the proxy card so that we can be assured of having a quorum present at the meeting and your shares may be voted in accordance with your wishes. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.
2. What is included in these proxy materials?
These proxy materials include:
•Notice of Annual Meeting;
•Our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting;
•Our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our consolidated financial statements; and
•A shareholder letter from Patricia K. Collawn, our Chair and CEO, and a stock performance graph.
If you requested printed versions of these materials by mail, these materials also include the proxy card for the Annual Meeting. Proxy materials are available at: www.proxyvote.com and www.pnmresources.com/asm/annual-proxy.cfm.
3. Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding internet availability of proxy materials instead of printed proxy materials?
Most shareholders received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a full set of printed proxy materials. The Notice provides access to proxy materials in a fast and efficient manner via the internet. This reduces the amount of paper necessary to produce these materials, as well as costs associated with mailing these materials to shareholders.
On [April XX, 2024], (1) we began mailing to our shareholders either (a) the Notice (which indicates how to access our proxy materials on the internet), or (b) a printed copy of our proxy materials, and (2) posted our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice.
All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. The Notice includes instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or how to request proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email for this meeting and on an ongoing basis. Pursuant to applicable law, beneficial owners of shares held in the RSP (our 401(k) plan for employees) will automatically receive paper copies of the proxy materials by mail instead of the Notice. In addition, shareholders who previously requested printed proxy materials or electronic materials on an ongoing basis will receive the materials in the format requested.
4. How may I obtain copies of the Annual Report on Form 10-K?
As stated above and reflected in the Notice, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024), together with other proxy materials, were made available to shareholders beginning on [April XX, 2024]. Copies of the Annual Report on Form 10‑K are available without charge upon written request to Lisa Goodman, Executive Director, Investor Relations and Shareholder Services, PNM Resources, Inc., 414 Silver Avenue SW, MS-0905, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289, or electronically at www.pnmresources.com/investors.aspx. You may also obtain our SEC filings through the internet at www.pnmresources.com/investors.aspx or www.sec.go v.
5. Who may vote at the Annual Meeting?
You may vote all of the shares of our common stock that you own at the close of business on the record date of April 15, 2024. On the record date, PNM Resources had 90,200,384 shares of common stock outstanding that are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. You may cast one vote for each share of common stock held by you on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting.

7. Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting or will other matters be voted on?
As of the date of this proxy statement, we are unaware of any matter (other than the above five proposals) that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented for consideration at the meeting, including consideration of a motion to adjourn the meeting to another time or place, the proxy committee will vote on the matter in accordance with its judgment. Shareholders attending the meeting will directly vote on any such matters. If for any unseen reason any of our nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the proxy committee will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be recommended by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board.
8. How do I vote my shares?
For your convenience, we have established four easy methods for voting shares held in your name:

By Internet: | Access www.proxyvote.com and follow the instructions. (You will need the control number on your Notice or on the requested paper proxy card to vote your shares.) Shareholders voting through the Internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies that must be paid by the shareholder.
By Telephone: | For automated telephone voting, call 1-800-690-6903 (toll free) from any touch-tone telephone and follow the instructions. (You will need the control number on your Notice or on the requested paper proxy card to vote your shares.)
By Mail: | Request delivery of the proxy statement and proxy card by mail and then simply return your executed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
During the Meeting: | You can attend and cast your vote at the Annual Meeting. For admission and in person voting requirements, please see Question 19 below.

Your shares will be voted in the manner you indicate. The telephone and internet voting systems are available 24 hours a day. They will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 3, 2024. Please note that the voting deadline is earlier for voting shares held in our RSP, as described below under Question 15 on page 81.
9. What is a proxy?
A proxy is your legal designation of another person (the “proxy”) to vote on your behalf. By voting by telephone or the internet, or by completing and mailing a printed proxy card, you are giving the proxy committee appointed by the Board (consisting of S. M. Gutierrez, J. A. Hughes, M. T. Mullarkey) the authority to vote your shares in the manner you indicate. If you are a shareholder of record and sign and return your proxy card without indicating how you want your shares to be voted,
79

or if you vote by telephone or internet in accordance with the Board of Directors’ voting recommendations, the proxy committee will vote your shares as follows:
•FOR the election of the director nominees named in the proxy statement;
•FOR ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024;
•FOR the resolution approving the compensation of our NEOs, on an advisory basis, as disclosed in this proxy statement;
•FOR the resolution approving an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock; and
•FOR the resolution approving an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to change our name to TXNM Energy, Inc.
If you hold your shares in “street name” and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, a “broker non-vote” will result with respect to Proposals 1, and 3-5. More information about the implications of holding your shares in street name and broker non-votes is set forth in answers to Questions 12-13 and 16-18 below.
10. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. Any subsequent vote by any means will change your prior vote. The last vote received before the Annual Meeting will be the one counted. You may also revoke your proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
11. What constitutes a quorum and why is a quorum required?
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to conduct business at the Annual Meeting. If at least a majority of all of the PNM Resources common stock outstanding on the record date is represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy (by voting by telephone or on the internet or by properly submitting a proxy card or voting instruction form by mail), a quorum will exist. Abstentions, withheld votes, and broker non-votes will be counted as present for quorum purposes.
12. What vote is required to approve each proposal?
The existence of a quorum and the following votes are required for approval of each proposal at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal | Affirmative Vote Requirement | Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes (See Questions 16-18 below)
PROPOSAL 1 Elect as directors the director nominees named in the proxy statement | Majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter | Votes may be cast for or against each director nominee. Abstentions have the effect of a vote against the nominee, while broker non-votes will not be counted in calculating voting results.
PROPOSAL 2 Ratify appointment of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024 | Majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter | Abstentions have the effect of a vote against the matter. Brokers may vote your “street name” shares on this routine matter without your instructions.
PROPOSAL 3 Approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs | Majority of shares present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote on the matter | Abstentions have the effect of a vote against the matter, while broker non-votes will not be counted in calculating voting results.
PROPOSAL 4 Approve an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock | Majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter | Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of a vote against the matter.
PROPOSAL 5 Approve an amendment to our Restated Articles of Incorporation to change our name to TXNM Energy, Inc. | Majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter | Abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of a vote against the matter.

80

13. What is the difference between a “shareholder of record” and a “street name” holder?
These terms describe how your shares are held. If your shares are registered directly in your name with Computershare, the Company’s transfer agent, you are a “shareholder of record” with respect to those shares and the Notice was sent directly to you by PNM Resources.
If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, trust or other nominee as a custodian, you are a “street name” holder and the Notice would have been forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, you must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.
14. Why did I receive more than one proxy card or notice?
You will receive multiple proxy cards or Notices if you hold your shares in different ways (e.g., joint tenancy, trusts, custodial accounts) or in multiple accounts. Each Notice and proxy card that you receive will contain a specific “control number” with the relevant information to vote the specific shares at issue. Note that the proxy card or Notice for shares registered in your name will include any shares you may hold in the PNMR Direct Plan, a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan. If your shares are held by a broker (i.e., in “street name”), you will receive a Notice on how to obtain your proxy materials and vote from your broker. You should vote according to the instructions on each Notice you receive and vote on, sign and return each proxy card you receive.
15. How do I vote my RSP shares?
If you participate in the RSP, our 401(k) plan for our employees, and shares have been allocated to your account under the PNMR Stock Fund investment option, you will receive the following materials by mail:
•the proxy materials; and
•a separate vote authorization form and voting instructions for these RSP shares from the PNMR Corporate Investment Committee.
Please use the RSP vote authorization form to vote your RSP shares by telephone, internet or mail. To allow sufficient time for the record holder of the RSP shares, The Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company, to vote these shares, your voting instructions must be received by May 31, 2024.
16. What happens if I don’t give my broker voting instructions for my “street name” shares?
You will receive proxy materials directly from your broker if your shares are not registered in your name, but are held by your broker as your “street name” shares. If you do not give your broker voting instructions, your brokerage firm may only vote your “street name” shares on certain “routine” matters. When a brokerage firm votes its customers’ unvoted shares on routine matters, these shares are counted to determine if a quorum exists to conduct business at the meeting. Ratification of the appointment of KPMG as independent registered public accounting firm for 2024 is considered the only routine matter for which brokerage firms may vote your shares without your voting instructions.
17. What is a broker non-vote?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker is not permitted under NYSE rules to vote on a “non-routine” matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and no instruction is given. “Non-routine” matters include the election of directors, actions relating to equity compensation plans, and actions relating to executive compensation (including Say-on-Pay shareholder advisory votes). Thus, your “street name” shares cannot be voted on Proposals 1, and 3-5 without receipt of your voting instructions.
We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker. This ensures that your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes on all matters at the Annual Meeting.
18. How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated?
As discussed in Questions 11 and 12, abstentions are deemed as present at the Annual Meeting, are counted for quorum purposes and will have the same effect as a vote against matters requiring a majority of shares present and entitled to vote on
81

the matter, or requiring a majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter. Broker non-votes, if any, while counted for general quorum purposes, are not deemed to be present with respect to any matter for which a broker does not have authority to vote and so do not have any effect on proposals which require a majority of shares present and entitled to vote on the matter, but will have the same effect as a vote against matters requiring a majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter.
19. Who may attend the Annual Meeting?
Attendance is limited to shareholders of record or their legal proxy holder and beneficial owners as of April 15, 2024, and invited guests of the Company. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee, please bring an account statement or letter from the nominee indicating that you are the beneficial owner of the shares as of April 15, 2024. An authorized proxy must present proof that he or she is an authorized proxy of a shareholder. In all cases, government-issued photo identification is also required. Banners, signs, or attire considered inappropriate and potentially disruptive to the meeting will not be allowed. All attendees will be subject to a security search for safety and security reasons. A map of the meeting location and parking directions are contained on the back of this proxy statement. Rules of the meeting will be printed on the back of the agenda that will be given to you at the meeting. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation with these rules.
You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting if your shares are registered in your name. If you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in “street name”, and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.
20. Will seating be limited at the 2024 Annual Meeting?
Yes. Seating will be limited and shareholders will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission will begin 45 minutes before the start of the meeting.
21. Will shareholders be given the opportunity to ask questions at the 2024 Annual Meeting?
Yes. The Chair will answer questions asked by shareholders during a designated portion of the meeting. Shareholders must direct questions and comments to the Chair and limit their remarks to matters that relate directly to the business of the meeting. For rules of conduct, please refer to materials that will be provided to you at the meeting.
22. May I listen to the Annual Meeting by Webcast?
Yes. Shareholders may listen to the Annual Meeting by webcast at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/pnm2024.
While any member of the public may listen to the Annual Meeting by webcast, only verified shareholders will be able to submit questions via the webcast to a moderator during the meeting. New Mexico law does not allow shareholders who do not attend the meeting in person to vote during the Annual Meeting. Thus, shareholders who listen to the Annual Meeting by webcast will be unable to vote during the Annual Meeting, so please vote before the Annual Meeting if you are unable to attend the meeting in person.
23. Can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?
If you are a “shareholder of record,” you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must obtain a proxy from your broker, banker, trustee or nominee, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.
24. Who pays the cost of this proxy solicitation?
This proxy is being solicited on behalf of PNM Resources’ Board of Directors. This solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made in person, by telephone or via the internet. We have hired Georgeson, Inc. (“Georgeson”) to assist in the solicitation for an estimated fee of $14,500 plus any out-of-pocket expenses. PNM Resources will pay all costs related to solicitation. Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. is tabulating the vote and providing the webcast hosting services for listening to the Annual Meeting.
82

25. Is this proxy statement the only way that proxies are being solicited?
No. As stated above, we have retained Georgeson to aid in the solicitation of proxies. In addition to mailing these proxy materials, certain directors, officers, or employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, e-mail, or personal contact. They will not be specifically compensated for doing so.
26 Where can I find voting results of the Annual Meeting?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspectors of election and published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the date of the Annual Meeting. Such results will also be published on our website at www.pnmresources.com.

Holders of our common stock may submit proposals or director nominations for consideration at our 2025 annual meeting as follows:

Please note that the notice requirement under SEC Rule 14a-19 is in addition to the applicable notice requirements under the advance notice provisions of our bylaws described above.
28. What is “householding”?
If you and one or more shareholders share the same address, it is possible that only one copy of the Notice or one copy of the proxy materials, as applicable, was delivered to your address. This is known as “householding.” We will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice or, if you requested a printed version by mail, the proxy materials, to you if you call or write us at our principal executive offices at PNM Resources, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations and Shareholder Services, 414 Silver Avenue SW, MS-0905, Albuquerque, NM 87102-3289; telephone: (505) 241-2700.
