Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2025, TXNM Energy, Inc., a New Mexico corporation (“TXNM”), Troy ParentCo, LLC (the “Parent”), and Troy Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into TXNM, with TXNM surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, TXNM and Troy TopCo LP (“Purchaser”), a Delaware limited partnership, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 18, 2025 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to purchase 8 million newly issued shares of TXNM’s common stock at a price of $50.00 per share, representing an aggregate investment of $400 million (the “PIPE Transaction”). The PIPE Transaction closed in June 2025 and was intended to provide equity financing to support TXNM’s operations during the period preceding consummation of the Merger. Parent, Merger Sub and Purchaser are affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure Partners L.P.
On August 25, 2025, TXNM, Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), Parent, and certain of their affiliates (the “Merger Parties”) filed a joint merger application with the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (the “NMPRC”) seeking approval of the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Application”). On February 6, 2026, a motion and brief for order was filed, directing the Merger Parties to show cause and for other relief in the pending Merger Application. The motion alleged that the PIPE Transaction violated the New Mexico Public Utility Act because the Merger Parties did not receive prior approval of the PIPE Transaction from the NMPRC. After public hearings and briefings on the Merger and PIPE Transaction, on July 2, 2026, the NMPRC issued a final order (the “Final Order”) declaring that (i) the PIPE Transaction was undertaken for the purpose of the Merger and therefore without prior NMPRC authorization in violation of New Mexico law, (ii) the PIPE Transaction is void and of no effect, (iii) the Merger Parties, within 45 days of the effective date of the Order, must file a compliance report demonstrating how the Merger Parties have effectuated the statutory consequence of the violation (i.e., all actions taken to unwind, reverse, replace, terminate, or otherwise effectuate the void status of the PIPE Transaction), including measures to ensure that New Mexico ratepayers are held harmless from all resulting costs and impacts, (iv) NMPRC Utility Staff and all parties may review the compliance filing and may respond within thirty (30) days of its filing, and (v) a penalty of $100,000 be paid by each of TXNM, Parent and Purchaser (an aggregate penalty of $300,000). Additionally, the hearing examiners stayed the procedural schedule for the Merger Application pending review of the compliance report.
