Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report (Form 8-K) was filed on March 13, 2009, by PNM Resources, Inc. (PNMR) and its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP). The report discloses material definitive agreements entered into on March 10 and March 11, 2009, regarding amendments to existing credit facilities.
Key Financial Metrics and Agreements
The filing details amendments to two unsecured credit agreements:
- PNMR Credit Agreement: Originally a $600 million facility executed in 2005 and subsequently amended. On March 11, 2009, it was amended via "PNMR Amendment 3" to accommodate proposed future financings by TNMP.
- TNMP Revolving Credit Agreement: Originally a $200 million facility entered into on May 15, 2008. On March 10, 2009, it was amended via "TNMP Amendment 2."
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or current liquidity positions. It focuses exclusively on the structural changes to debt facilities.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the modification of the TNMP Revolving Credit Agreement. Under TNMP Amendment 2, TNMP agreed to reduce the size of this facility from $200 million to $75 million upon the occurrence of certain future financings. Both amendments were executed to facilitate these proposed future financing activities.
