Item 8.01 Other Events.

As has been previously reported, Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of PNM Resources, Inc., leases interests in Units 1 and 2 of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (“PVNGS”) under arrangements entered into in 1985 and 1986 that are accounted for as operating leases. On January 13, 2014, PNM provided notices to three Unit 2 lessors, Cypress Verde LLC and Cypress Second PV Partnership (together, “Cypress”) and CGI Capital, Inc. (“CGI”), that PNM would exercise its fair market value purchase option at the end of the original lease terms, January 15, 2016. The closings of the CGI and Cypress purchases by PNM under the respective sale agreements occurred on January 15, 2016, at which time the specified purchase prices aggregating $163.3 million were paid by PNM and the transfer of the leased interests to PNM took place. The funds for the purchases from CGI and Cypress were obtained by PNM from available cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facilities.
