Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 27, 2013, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”) entered into a $100 million Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement”) among PNMR, the lender parties (JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Union Bank, N.A.) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement amends and restates the $100 million Term Loan Agreement, entered into on December 14, 2012 (“Term Loan Agreement”), among PNMR and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and lender. A copy of the Term Loan Agreement, which has a maturity date of December 27, 2013, was filed by PNMR as an exhibit to its Form 8-K on December 17, 2012.
The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement adds Union Bank, N.A. as a lender and extends the maturity date to December 26, 2014.
PNMR must pay interest on its borrowing under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement from time to time following funding and must repay all amounts on or before the maturity date.
The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including requirements to not exceed a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement also includes customary events of default. The Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement has a cross default provision and a change of control provision. If an event of default occurs, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request and direction of the lenders holding a specified percentage of the loans shall, declare the obligations outstanding under the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement to be due and payable. Such acceleration will occur automatically in the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy default.
The Administrative Agent and the lenders perform normal banking (including as lenders under PNMR's $300 million unsecured revolving credit facility, dated as of October 31, 2011) and investment banking and advisory services from time to time for PNMR and its affiliates, for which it receives customary fees and expenses.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information required by this item is included in Item 1.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
