Astrotech filed a prospectus supplement on August 19, 2026 for an at-the-market offering of up to $50 million of common stock through H.C. Wainwright & Co., replacing the earlier supplement dated June 3, 2026. As of August 19, 2026, the company had sold 258,856 shares for gross proceeds of about $7.9 million under the prior program, and no further sales will be made under it. Because new share sales can dilute existing holders, the filing expands the company's ability to raise equity capital from the market.

Korn Ferry signed an amended and restated credit agreement on August 18, 2026, adding a $600 million senior secured term loan and keeping its $850 million revolving credit facility, both maturing five years from the effective date. The company used the term loan to fully repay its $400 million 4.625% Senior Notes due 2027 and plans to use the remaining proceeds toward its pending acquisition of AMS.

PNM sold $200.0 million of senior unsecured notes, and TNMP issued $150 million of first mortgage bonds in two series. The filing states the proceeds will repay existing and short-term debt, fund capital expenditures and support general corporate purposes, and it says the Blackstone Infrastructure Partners transaction would not trigger a change-in-control obligation under either set of debt.
PNM sold $200.0 million of senior unsecured notes in Series A ($115.0 million, 5.44%, due 2029), Series B ($50.0 million, 5.82%, due 2034) and Series C ($35.0 million, 6.12%, due 2038)
