Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously reported on PNM Resources, Inc.’s (“PNMR”) Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 31, 2019 and January 2, 2019, on December 31, 2018, PNMR’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”) submitted a filing to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (“NMPRC”) indicating that PNM expects to retire its share of San Juan Generating Station (“SJGS”) in mid-2022 (subject to NMPRC approval). In its December 31, 2018 filing, PNM indicated that it would have sufficient information by the second quarter of 2019 to submit a consolidated filing to the NMPRC requesting approval for the abandonment of PNM’s share of SJGS and for replacement generation capacity.

On July 1, 2019, PNM filed a consolidated application with the NMPRC requesting approval for the abandonment of SJGS, for procurement of proposed replacement generation resources, and for the authority to issue approximately $361 million of “energy transition bonds” (the “Application”). Under New Mexico state law, energy transition bonds are designed to be highly rated, are secured by “energy transition property,” are non-recourse to the issuing utility, and must be repaid by a non-bypassable charge paid by all PNM customers. These customer charges are subject to an adjustment mechanism designed to provide for timely and complete payment of principal and interest due under the energy transition bonds.

The Application can be found on PNMR’s website ( http://www.pnmresources.com/investors/rates-and-filings.aspx ). Additional information related to the application has been posted on PNMR’s website at ( http://www.pnmresources.com/investors/events-and-presentations.aspx ). The contents of these websites are not otherwise incorporated into this Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific references in such a filing.
