Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
    
On November 4, 2011, PNM Resources, Inc. (“PNMR”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with Cascade Investment, L.L.C. (“Cascade”) under which PNMR will purchase from Cascade the lesser of (i) 7,019,550 shares of its common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $156,525,490 divided by the purchase price per share (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The Sale and Purchase Agreement provides that the Common Stock will be purchased at a price per share equal to the product of (a) 0.98 and (b) the arithmetic mean of the volume weighted average price on each trading day in the period beginning October 27, 2011 and ending November 9, 2011. The repurchase of the Common Stock is anticipated to close on November 10, 2011. In the event that the volume weighted average price on any trading day in the period beginning October 27, 2011 and ending November 9, 2011, inclusive, is less than $14.1811 per share, Cascade will have the option not to close the transaction. Similarly, in the event that the volume weighted average price on any trading day in the period beginning October 27, 2011 and ending November 9, 2011, inclusive, is greater than $21.2717 per share, PNMR will have the option not to close the transaction. Any repurchased shares will become authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

The foregoing description of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
