___________________________________

**SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT**

**FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS**

**TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 2025**

___________________________________

The following information supplements and amends the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement") of TXNM Energy, Inc., a New Mexico corporation ("TXNM"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on July 21, 2025, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on August 28, 2025, and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Special Meeting"). As previously disclosed, on May 18, 2025, TXNM, Troy ParentCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Troy Merger Sub Inc., a New Mexico corporation and a direct subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into TXNM (the "Merger"), with TXNM surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Blackstone Infrastructure Partners L.P. ("Blackstone Infrastructure"). At the Special Meeting, TXNM shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement as disclosed in the Proxy Statement (the "Merger Proposal"), as well as the other proposals described in the Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to them in the Proxy Statement. This Supplement is being filed with the SEC and first being made available to shareholders on or about August 18, 2025.

**THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROXY STATEMENT.**

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 17, 2025, are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting.

**Demand Letters and Merger Litigation**

From May 19, 2025, through August 18, 2025, several purported shareholders of TXNM have sent demand letters (the "Demand Letters") regarding the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the "Preliminary Proxy Statement") filed by TXNM with the SEC on July 11, 2025, or the Proxy Statement. In addition, on August 4, 2025, a purported individual shareholder of TXNM filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned *Williams v. TXNM,* Index No. 654609/2025 ("*Williams"),* naming as defendants TXNM and each member of the Board of Directors of TXNM (the "Board"). On August 6, 2025, an additional case was filed by a purported individual shareholder of TXNM in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, captioned *Scott v. TXNM*, Index No. 654672/2025 ("*Scott*"). The *Williams* and *Scott* complaints, and any similar subsequently filed actions involving TXNM, the Board or any committee thereof and/or any of TXNM's directors or officers relating directly or indirectly to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Proposal or any related transaction, are referred to as the "Shareholder Actions."

The Demand Letters and the Shareholder Actions generally allege that, among other things, the Proxy Statement is materially incomplete and misleading by failing to disclose purported material information regarding the Merger. The Shareholder Actions assert claims for negligent misrepresentation and concealment, and negligence in violation of New York common law against TXNM and the Board. The Shareholder Actions seek, among other things, an injunction enjoining the shareholder vote until such time, if any, that the Proxy Statement discloses the material information that the complaints claim have been omitted, rescission of the Merger if consummated or awarding actual or punitive damages, costs of the action, including attorneys' fees and experts' fees and expenses, and any such other relief the court may deem just and proper. Based on the same core allegations as the Shareholder Actions, the Demand Letters request that TXNM provide corrective disclosures in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, prior to the shareholder vote in connection with the Merger.

------

TXNM cannot predict the outcome of each Shareholder Action, nor can TXNM predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve each Shareholder Action. It is possible that additional, similar demand letters or complaints may be received or filed or the Shareholder Actions may be amended. Absent new or significantly different allegations, TXNM does not intend to announce the receipt or filing of each additional, similar demand letter, complaint or any amended complaint. Although TXNM cannot predict the outcome of or estimate the possible loss or range of loss from these matters, TXNM and its directors believe that the allegations contained in the Demand Letters and Shareholder Actions are without merit, that no supplemental disclosures are required under applicable law, and that the requested additional disclosures are immaterial.

In order to reduce the risk of the Demand Letters and the Shareholder Actions delaying the Special Meeting or the closing of the Merger, and to minimize the nuisance and expense of defending the Shareholder Actions, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, TXNM is voluntarily making the additional disclosures set forth below that supplement those contained in the Proxy Statement (the "Supplemental Disclosures"). Nothing in this Supplement shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, TXNM specifically denies all allegations in the Demand Letters and the Shareholder Actions, including that any additional disclosure was or is required and that the Supplemental Disclosures are otherwise material. This decision to make the Supplemental Disclosures will not affect the merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Merger or the timing of the Special Meeting. The Supplemental Disclosures are included below and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.

**Supplemental Disclosures**

All paragraph headings and page references refer to the headings and pages in the Proxy Statement before any additions or deletions resulting from this Supplement or any other amendments. Where applicable, the Supplemental Disclosures are identified below by <u>underlined</u> and **bolded** text.

***The section entitled "THE MERGER" is amended and supplemented as follows:***

***The following disclosure is added to the paragraph that crosses over page 35 into page 36 of the Proxy Statement:***

On January 6, 2025, the Board of Directors, in executive session with the management team and Wells Fargo, reviewed industry trends and conditions, management's financial projections, or the Forecasts, and preliminary Valuation and Discussion materials prepared by Wells Fargo. A representative of Troutman Pepper Locke LLP, or Troutman Pepper, TXNM's legal counsel, reviewed with the Board of Directors their fiduciary duty obligations in connection with considering strategic alternatives and other legal and regulatory matters relating to a sale process. The Board of Directors also discussed a potential structure for a transaction to sell TXNM, including interim financing from a buyer to alleviate the need for financing to fund operations during the pendency of a merger process. The Board of Directors further discussed possible counterparties. Following this review, the Board of Directors directed management and Wells Fargo to begin contacting five short-listed infrastructure funds regarding their interest in considering preliminary discussions with TXNM. Considerations in selecting infrastructure funds rather than strategic counterparties, and these five funds in particular, included an evaluation of whether such potential counterparties would have the financial resources to pay the merger consideration without over-leveraging TXNM, their ability to provide interim financing, their access to and competitive cost of capital, their prior experience owning a utility service provider, their track record in securing regulatory approvals, the increased risk that strategic partners may not support local management's focus on growth plans due to competing interests, the potential transactability issues with respect to strategic partners, and the lack of interest of strategic partners in the previous sale process. The Board of Directors noted its view that infrastructure funds could provide advantages to the TXNM stakeholders over a strategic partner, with a greater possibility of local management and headquarters and commitments to stakeholders, including customers and employees. The Board of Directors created a Transaction Review Committee, or TRC, to assist it in the potential sale process, including periodically reviewing next steps and making recommendations to the Board of Directors in connection with the process. **<u>The decision to create the TRC was not made in response to conflicts of interest on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors appointed three independent directors consisting of Norman Becker, the lead director of the Board of Directors, James Hughes and Maureen Mullarkey to the TRC, with Norman Becker being appointed as Chairman of the TRC. The TRC was delegated broad power and authority in connection with reviewing the merger, including, but not limited to, evaluating the advisability of the transaction and examining any and all matters concerning the transaction, identifying, reviewing, considering and/or recommending possible alternatives in the manner of structuring the transaction, approving nonbinding proposals, indications of interest and letters of intent relating to the transaction, updating the Board of Directors as to the status of the transaction and making a recommendation to the Board of Directors concerning the transaction. While the TRC was granted authority to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors concerning the transaction, the TRC was not authorized to reject or veto the transaction.</u>** The Board

------

of Directors also authorized TXNM to engage Wells Fargo to serve as financial advisor with respect to a sale of TXNM.

The discounted cash flow analysis indicated the following implied per share equity value reference range for TXNM common stock:

***The following disclosure is added to the second full paragraph on page 54 of the Proxy Statement:***

The information disclosed in this paragraph regarding relationships of Wells Fargo and fees recognized by it is based upon information provided to TXNM by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo and its affiliates hold, on a proprietary basis, less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of each of TXNM and Blackstone Infrastructure. In the ordinary course of business, Wells Fargo and its affiliates may trade or otherwise effect transactions in the securities or other financial instruments (including bank loans or other obligations) of TXNM, Blackstone Infrastructure and certain of their affiliates for its own account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities or financial instruments. Wells Fargo and its affiliates have adopted policies and procedures designed to preserve the independence of their research and credit analysts whose views may differ from those of the members of the team of investment banking professionals involved in preparing Wells Fargo's opinion.

Readers are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations and estimates. TXNM's business, financial condition, cash flow, and operating results are influenced by many factors, which are often beyond its control, that can cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure of Parent to obtain any equity, debt or other financing necessary to complete the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the pending merger, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the pending merger that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, including in circumstances requiring TXNM to pay a termination fee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility that TXNM's shareholders may not approve the merger agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the proposed merger in a timely manner or at all;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party to acquire our assets or capital stock that could interfere with the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the outcome of any legal proceedings, regulatory proceedings or enforcement matters that may be instituted relating to the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the proposed transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of TXNM to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers and suppliers, and on its operating results and businesses generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the announcement and pendency of the merger, during which TXNM is subject to certain operating restrictions, could have an adverse effect on TXNM's businesses, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the costs incurred to consummate the merger;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the price of TXNM's common stock may fluctuate during the pendency of the proposed transaction and may decline significantly if the proposed transaction is not completed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other risks detailed in TXNM's filings with the SEC, including its most recent Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and in subsequently filed Forms 10-Q and 8-K, the Proxy Statement and in any other documents filed by TXNM with the SEC after the date thereof.

Any such forward-looking statement is qualified by reference to these risks and factors. TXNM cautions against putting undue reliance on forward-looking statements or projecting any future results based on such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the particular statement, and TXNM does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement contained herein.
