Item 5. Other Events
On April 17, 2003, PNM Resources' utility subsidiary, Public Service Company of
New Mexico ("PNM"), was served with twenty lawsuits seeking damages for personal
injuries (and one death) allegedly caused by primary exposure to asbestos at
PNM's premises. PNM is one of many defendants named in the lawsuits. PNM was
also served on February 20, 2003, as one of many defendants, with an amended
complaint for wrongful death alleging secondary exposure from asbestos. PNM has
not yet completed a review of the claims filed against it and is unable to
predict the outcome of these lawsuits at this time. Insurance coverage may be
available for some or all of these claims. PNM intends to vigorously defend
against these lawsuits.
