(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) - PNM Resources' (NYSE: PNM) Texas utility, Texas-New Mexico Power Company (the “Company”) today announced the expiration of an offer to eligible holders to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of the Company's $265,500,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding 9.50% First Mortgage Bonds, due 2019, Series 2009A (the “Existing Bonds”) for a new series of 6.95% First Mortgage Bonds, due 2043, Series 2013A (the “New Bonds”) and cash. The Exchange Offer, which commenced March 6, 2013, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 2, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”).
Based on information provided by the exchange agent to the Company, $93,198,000 principal amount of the Existing Bonds have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date. The Company has accepted all the Existing Bonds validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date.
