The following is a press release issued by the Company on January 22, 2002 and
is being filed herewith under Item 5.
PNM Plans to Retire Transmission Line Debt
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., January 22, 2002 - Public Service Company of New Mexico, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PNM Resources (NYSE:PNM) today asked regulators for
authority to enter into a transaction that would cause the retirement of $27.0
million of Secured Facility Bonds due 2012 (CUSIP No. 268536AB5).
The proposed transaction will reduce PNM's long-term debt and give the company
majority ownership of the 216-mile long Eastern Interconnection Project (EIP)
line, which connects PNM and the Western U.S. with the West Texas electrical
grid.
PNM entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement in 1985 that allowed the company
to levelize the EIP's cost to PNM and its customers over the lease period. The
proposal presented to the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission today would
result in the redemption on April 1, 2002 of the Secured Facility Bonds at a
price of $1054.30 per $1000 principal plus accrued interest to April 1, 2002.
PNM has asked the New Mexico commission, as well as the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, to approve the
transaction by March 12, 2002.
PNM Resources is an energy holding company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Its
principal subsidiary is Public Service Company of New Mexico, which provides
electric power and natural gas utility services to more than 1.3 million people
in New Mexico. The company also sells power on the wholesale market in the
Western U.S. PNM Resources stock is traded primarily on the NYSE under the
symbol PNM.
