Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR: Shareholders approved the merger, indicating shareholder support and clearing a key legal and closing milestone.

The shareholder approval of the Agreement and Plan of Merger is a material corporate action that typically satisfies a primary closing condition for a negotiated acquisition. With roughly 88.6% of shares represented at the meeting, participation was high, and the company explicitly reported no notices of intent to seek dissenter's rights, which reduces potential procedural hold-ups under New Mexico law. The filing does not disclose the exact vote split or remaining closing conditions, so timing and other closing contingencies remain unspecified in this document.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: The vote outcome reflects affirmative governance action; procedural details are noted but some voting specifics are omitted.

From a governance perspective, the filing documents fulfillment of a fundamental shareholder approval requirement for the proposed transaction. The company highlighted that abstentions count as votes against under state law and that no dissenter's-rights notices were received, which simplifies post-approval procedures. The proxy materials are referenced for a detailed discussion; however, this 8-K does not provide the precise tally of for/against/abstain votes or any director-level resignations or related governance changes, so some governance implications remain unreported here.

Item 5.07.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On August 28, 2025, TXNM Energy, Inc. (“TXNM”) held a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, TXNM’s shareholders voted on the following proposals set forth in TXNM’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 21, 2025, as supplemented and amended by the definitive additional materials filed with the SEC on August 19, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”), relating to the proposed acquisition of TXNM by affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure Partners L.P.

As of the close of business on July 17, 2025, the record date for the Special Meeting, TXNM had a total of 105,378,979 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, of which 93,339,040 shares were represented at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy.

TXNM did not receive notice that any shareholder intended to seek dissenter’s rights, which a shareholder who wanted to pursue dissenter’s rights was required to do by New Mexico corporation law.

Set forth below are the final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of TXNM’s shareholders at the Special Meeting. Under state law abstentions have the effect of a vote against the matter. A detailed discussion of each of these proposals can be found in the Proxy Statement.

Proposal 1: Merger Proposal

TXNM’s shareholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 18, 2025, by and among TXNM, Troy ParentCo LLC, and Troy Merger Sub Inc. (the “Merger Agreement”), by the vote indicated below:

Votes For						Votes Against						Abstentions						Broker Non-Votes
92,921,678						347,430						69,932						0

Proposal 2: Advisory Vote on Merger-Related Compensation

TXNM’s shareholders approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation arrangements for TXNM’s named executive officers in connection with the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, by the vote indicated below:

Votes For						Votes Against						Abstentions						Broker Non-Votes
86,771,502						6,326,255						241,283						0

In connection with the Special Meeting, TXNM also solicited proxies with respect to Proposal 3 to approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Agreement. As there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement, the adjournment proposal was rendered moot and was not presented at the Special Meeting.
