Financing Activities

On March 6, 2013, TNMP commenced an offer to exchange any and all of TNMP's $265.5 million aggregate principal amount outstanding 9.50% First Mortgage Bonds, due 2019, Series 2009A, for a new series of 6.95% First Mortgage Bonds, due 2043, Series 2013A, and up to $140 in cash for each $1,000 of bonds exchanged. Settlement of the exchange offer occurred on April 3, 2013. Upon settlement, TNMP issued $93.2 million of 6.95% First Mortgage Bonds and paid an aggregate of $13.0 million in cash in exchange for $93.2 million of 9.50% First Mortgage Bonds, in addition to payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanged bonds. The exchange will result in the recording of a $23.2 million premium on the 6.95% First Mortgage Bonds reflecting the contractual interest rate being in excess of the market rate of interest on the date of the exchange. A regulatory asset will be recorded to offset the premium, as well as the cash consideration paid in the exchange.
