Explanation of responses
- F1The performance shares were earned as of December 31, 2014 for the 2012-2014 performance period, as determined effective February 26, 2015.
- F2Represents shares withheld by PNM Resources, Inc. to satisfy the tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the settlement of the performance share award described in (1) above. The company utilizes a modified "share withholding" approach in connection with settling awards of performance shares, in which it (i) withholds (in cash) the amount required to satisfy the tax withholding obligations and remits such amount to the relevant tax authorities, and (ii) directs a designated broker to purchase on the open market the number of shares of the company's common stock that can be acquired with the after-tax value of the performance share award at the prevailing market price. Only these "net shares" are delivered to the recipient of the performance share award.
- F3Represents the portions of previous awards of restricted stock rights that vested effective March 5 and 6, 2015.
- F4Represents shares withheld by PNM Resources, Inc. to satisfy the tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of the restricted stock rights referenced in (3) above. The company utilizes a modified "share withholding" approach in connection with settling awards of restricted stock rights upon vesting, in which it (i) withholds (in cash) the amount required to satisfy the tax withholding obligations and remits such amount to the relevant tax authorities, and (ii) directs a designated broker to purchase on the open market the number of shares of the company's common stock that can be acquired with the after-tax value of the vested restricted stock rights award at the prevailing market price. Only these "net shares" are delivered to the recipient of the award.
- F5Each restricted stock right represents a contingent right to receive one share of PNM Resources, Inc. common stock.
- F6The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments, beginning on March 4, 2016. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person on the applicable vesting dates (or, if the company is in a blackout period under its insider trading policy on any vesting date, at a later date after such blackout period ends).
