Convertible notes can be converted April 1-June 30, 2026 at $44.37/share, but holders receive illiquid non-convertible notes for principal plus stock for excess value—company warns these will likely trade below par given current 7% market rates vs. 5.75% coupon.

high
Pending Blackstone merger at $61.25/share (38% above conversion price) would trigger superior make-whole rights: noteholders could convert for all-cash at merger price (~$1,378 per $1,000 note) within 35 days of deal closing, avoiding illiquid securities.

medium
Conversion triggered because TXNM stock exceeded 130% of $44.37 conversion price for 20+ trading days in Q1 2026, opening quarterly window per indenture terms; conversion rate is 22.5382 shares per $1,000 principal.

Unusual settlement mechanics create economic disincentive to convert now: holders receive less-liquid 5.75% non-convertible junior subordinated notes for principal amount rather than typical cash or freely-trading stock.

Summary
TXNM Energy notified holders of its $1 billion in convertible notes that they can convert during the April-June 2026 quarter at $44.37 per share. However, the company's unusual settlement structure creates a trap for unwary investors: converters receive illiquid non-convertible notes for the principal amount, which TXNM explicitly warns will likely trade below par given current market rates.
The company recently issued 7% notes while these carry only a 5.75% coupon, signaling an expected discount. The critical context is TXNM's pending acquisition by Blackstone Infrastructure Partners at $61.25 per share—38% above the conversion price.
If that merger closes, noteholders gain superior "make-whole" conversion rights allowing them to convert for all-cash at the merger price, yielding roughly $1,378 per $1,000 note versus receiving discounted illiquid securities now. The merger remains subject to regulatory approvals. Retail holders of these notes should not convert during the Q2 window unless they need immediate liquidity. Instead, watch for merger approval announcements from state utility commissions and FERC. If the Blackstone deal closes, the make-whole provision delivers far better economics than converting now into securities the company itself warns will trade at a loss.

As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2025, the Company, Troy ParentCo, LLC (the “Parent”), and Troy Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure Partners L.P. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock of the Company ... will, at the effective time of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive $61.25 in cash, without interest.
TXNM has a pending merger with Blackstone Infrastructure Partners at $61.25 per share in cash, significantly above the $44.37 conversion price. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. If the merger closes, it will trigger a make-whole fundamental change allowing noteholders to convert for cash at the merger price rather than receiving the less-liquid non-convertible notes.

If consummated, the Merger will constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” with respect to the Convertible Notes, and holders will be entitled to surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of the Merger until 35 trading days after the effective date of the Merger (or, if the Company gives notice after the effective date of the Merger, until 35 trading days after the date the Company gives notice). In such a case, (i) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes will be solely cash in an amount equal to the conversion rate in effect on the conversion date (subject to potential increase as provided in the Convertible Notes Indenture), multiplied by the price paid per share of common stock in the Merger and (ii) and the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying cash to converting holders on the second business day immediately following the conversion date.
If the Blackstone merger closes, noteholders get superior conversion rights: they can convert for all-cash consideration based on the $61.25 merger price (rather than receiving illiquid non-convertible notes) within 35 trading days after the merger. This would result in approximately $1,378 in cash per $1,000 principal amount (22.5382 shares × $61.25), a substantial premium to par.
