**FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

In this combined report and from time to time, Entergy Corporation and the Registrant Subsidiaries each makes statements as a registrant concerning its expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, and future events or performance. Such statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may," "will," "could," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "goal," "commitment," "expect," "estimate," "continue," "potential," "plan," "predict," "forecast," and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the only means to identify these statements. Although each of these registrants believes that these forward-looking statements and the underlying assumptions are reasonable, it cannot provide assurance that they will prove correct. Any forward-looking statement is based on information current as of the date of this combined report and speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, each registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including (a) those factors discussed or incorporated by reference in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Form 10-K and in this report, (b) those factors discussed or incorporated by reference in Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis in the Form 10-K and in this report, and (c) the following factors (in addition to others described elsewhere in this combined report and in subsequent filings with the SEC):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resolution of pending and future rate cases and related litigation, formula rate proceedings and related negotiations, including various performance-based rate discussions, Entergy's utility supply plan, and recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, as well as delays in cost recovery resulting from these proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulatory and operating challenges and uncertainties and economic risks associated with the Utility operating companies' participation in MISO, including the benefits of continued MISO participation, the effect of current or projected MISO market rules, market design and market and system conditions in the MISO markets, the allocation of MISO system transmission upgrade costs, delays in developing or interconnecting new generation or other resources or other adverse effects arising from the volume of requests in the MISO transmission interconnection queue, which delays or other adverse effects may be exacerbated by significant current and expected load growth, the MISO-wide base rate of return on equity allowed or any MISO-related charges and credits required by the FERC, and the effect of planning decisions that MISO makes with respect to future transmission investments by the Utility operating companies (including, in each case, as it relates to new generation or transmission projects designed to serve the increased load growth of new large-scale data centers and other large customers);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in utility regulation, including, with respect to retail and wholesale competition and special rules supporting service to large-scale data centers, the ability to recover net utility assets and other potential stranded costs, including those capital investments associated with unrealized customer growth expectations (including data center customers), and the application of more stringent return on equity criteria, transmission reliability requirements, or market power criteria by the FERC or the U.S. Department of Justice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the regulation or regulatory oversight of Entergy's nuclear generating facilities, nuclear materials and fuel, and the effects of new or existing safety or environmental concerns regarding nuclear power plants and fuel;

**ENTERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

Entergy operates primarily through a single reportable segment, Utility. The Utility segment includes the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electric power in portions of Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana, including the City of New Orleans; and included operation of a small natural gas distribution business in portions of Louisiana through June 30, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025. See Note 7 to the financial statements herein for discussion of and financial information regarding Entergy's reportable segment.

**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**

In January 2026, portions of Entergy's service territory experienced the effects of Winter Storm Fern, including prolonged freezing temperatures, heavy ice accumulations, and wind, which caused severe damage to Entergy's infrastructure. Entergy's current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $480 million, including approximately $400 million in capital costs and approximately $80 million in non-capital costs. The impacts were primarily at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi. There are well-established mechanisms and precedent for addressing these catastrophic events and providing the process for regulatory review of storm costs for prudence and for recovery of prudently incurred storm costs in accordance with applicable regulatory and legal principles.

The severe weather event also affected the market for natural gas due to the effects of severe cold on the gas supply system and increased demand for gas to support electricity loads. Natural gas purchases in January 2026 for Entergy were $483 million, including $74 million for Entergy Arkansas, $256 million for Entergy Louisiana, $85 million for Entergy Mississippi, $20 million for Entergy New Orleans, and $48 million for Entergy Texas. This compares to natural gas purchases in January 2025 for Entergy of $207 million, including $25 million for Entergy Arkansas, $115 million for Entergy Louisiana, $28 million for Entergy Mississippi, $4 million for Entergy New Orleans, and $35 million for Entergy Texas. The Utility operating companies each have fuel recovery mechanisms in place to recover their natural gas costs. With the potential effect of the higher natural gas costs on customers, the Utility operating companies plan to work with their retail regulators to recover these costs in a manner that mitigates the effects on customer bills. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel cost recovery at the Utility operating companies.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The Utility operating companies' results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Entergy Arkansas's formula rate plan rates effective January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in Entergy Louisiana's resilience plan cost recovery rider effective March 2025 and March 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in Entergy Mississippi's formula rate plan rates resulting from an increase in interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in Entergy Texas's distribution cost recovery factor rider effective June 2025 and December 2025.

See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the regulatory proceedings discussed above.

The return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, substantially offset by an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the data center, primary metals, and transportation industries.

The effect of sale of natural gas distribution businesses variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans following the sale of the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025. The decrease in natural gas operating revenues is substantially offset in net income by the absence of operating expenses related to the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses following the sale. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025.

Total electric energy sales for Utility for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 8057 | 8784 | (8) |
| Commercial | 6230 | 6243 |  |
| Industrial | 15895 | 13833 | 15 |
| Governmental | 555 | 560 | (1) |
| Total retail | 30737 | 29420 | 4 |
| Sales for resale | 2789 | 1634 | 71 |

<u>Other Income Statement Items</u>

Utility

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased slightly comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025 primarily due to a decrease of $17 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds and a decrease of $12 million in loss provisions. The decrease was substantially offset by an increase of $13 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to increased contract labor costs and an increase of $11 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in first quarter 2025.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service, an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates at Entergy Arkansas and Entergy Louisiana effective January 2026, and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates at Entergy Louisiana effective September 2025 in accordance with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Louisiana global stipulated settlement agreement.

Entergy records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.

Other income increased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2026.

Interest expense increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Arkansas of $300 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances by Entergy Arkansas of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances by Entergy Louisiana of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Mississippi of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance by Entergy Texas of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $8 million in carrying costs on customer advances, including customer advances for construction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $8 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.

The increase was partially offset by the repayment by Entergy Louisiana of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026.

Parent and Other

Asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges includes an $18 million non-cash impairment charge recognized in first quarter 2026 related to the sale of the non-utility operations businesses' interest in the Independence power plant in April 2026.

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuances of junior subordinated debentures totaling $1.3 billion in November 2025.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was 18.3% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 21.6% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction.

**<u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for discussion of income tax legislation and regulation.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy's capital structure, capital spending plans and other uses of capital, and sources of capital.

**Capital Structure and Resources**

Entergy's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Corporation is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 65.9% | 64.3% |
| Effect of excluding securitization bonds | (0.2%) | (0.2%) |
| Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 65.8% | 64.1% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (1.2%) | (1.5%) |
| Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 63.2% | 62.6% |

---

(a)Calculation excludes the Texas securitization bonds, which are non-recourse to Entergy Texas.

As of March 31, 2026, 20.7% of the debt outstanding is at the parent company, Entergy Corporation, and 79.3% is at the Utility segment. Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of notes payable and commercial paper, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt, equity, and subsidiaries' preferred stock without sinking fund. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capital ratio excluding securitization bonds and net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds are non-GAAP measures. Entergy uses the debt to capital ratios excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes they provide useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy's financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy also uses the net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Entergy Corporation has in place a credit facility that has a borrowing capacity of $3 billion and expires in June 2030. The facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $20 million of the total borrowing capacity of the credit facility. The commitment fee is currently 0.225% of the undrawn commitment amount. Commitment fees and interest rates on loans under the credit facility can fluctuate depending on the senior unsecured debt ratings of Entergy Corporation. Although there were no borrowings under the facility for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the estimated interest rate as of March 31, 2026 that would have been applied to outstanding borrowings under the facility was 5.27%. The following is a summary of the amounts outstanding and capacity available under the credit facility as of March 31, 2026:

---

Entergy Corporation's credit facility includes a covenant requiring Entergy to maintain a consolidated debt ratio, as defined, of 65% or less of its total capitalization. The calculation of this debt ratio under Entergy Corporation's credit facility is different than the calculation of the debt to capital ratio above. Entergy is currently in compliance with the covenant and expects to remain in compliance with this covenant. If Entergy fails to meet this ratio, or if Entergy Corporation or one of the Registrant Subsidiaries (except Entergy New Orleans and System Energy) defaults on other indebtedness or is in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, an acceleration of the Entergy Corporation credit facility's maturity date may occur. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the Entergy Corporation credit facility and discussion of the Registrant Subsidiaries' credit facilities.

Entergy Corporation has a commercial paper program with a Board-approved program limit of $2 billion. As of March 31, 2026, Entergy Corporation had $1,367 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted-average interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 3.95%.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, Entergy's sources to meet its capital requirements and to fund potential investments include, among other things, debt and equity issuances in the capital markets. In addition to other planned debt issuances by the Registrant Subsidiaries and Entergy Corporation, borrowings under new or existing credit facilities and Entergy Corporation's commercial paper program, and the planned equity issuances discussed below, Entergy Corporation currently expects to issue $3 billion in junior subordinated debentures through 2029.

<u>Equity Issuances and Equity Distribution Program</u>

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u> - Sources of Capital -** <u>Equity Issuances and Equity Distribution Program</u>" in the Form 10-K and Note 3 to the financial statements herein for discussion of equity issuances, the equity distribution program, and equity forward sale agreements. The following are updates to that discussion.

In February 2026, Entergy Corporation physically settled a portion of its obligations under certain of its then-outstanding forward sale agreements under its at the market equity distribution program for cash proceeds of $346 million.

Entergy Corporation currently expects to issue approximately $6.6 billion of equity through 2029, which it may issue under its at the market equity distribution program or otherwise, with approximately $1.9 billion already settled or contracted under forward sale agreements as of March 31, 2026. See Note 3 to the financial statements herein and Note 7 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the forward sale agreements.

The updated capital plan for 2026-2029 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects, primarily related to resources identified in Entergy Louisiana's application filed with the LPSC in March 2026 as discussed below in "Entergy Louisiana Additional Generation and Transmission Resources". The capital plan includes amounts Entergy plans to spend on routine capital projects that are necessary to support reliability of its service, equipment, or systems and to support normal customer growth. In addition to routine capital projects, the capital plan also includes amounts Entergy plans to spend on non-routine capital investments for which Entergy is either contractually obligated, has Board approval, or otherwise expects to make to satisfy regulatory or legal requirements. Amounts include the following types of construction and capital investments:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify the Utility operating companies' portfolios, as well as to support customer growth, including Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, Arkansas Cypress Solar, Segno Solar, Votaw Solar, Bogalusa West Solar, Cypress Harvest Solar, Franklin Farms Power Station Units 1 and 2, Waterford 5 Power Station, Cottonwood Power Station, Westlake Power Station, Richland Parish Units 1-4, Pointe Coupee Units 1-3, Delta Blues Advanced Power Station, Delta Solar, Penton Solar, Traceview Advanced Power Station, Vicksburg Advanced Power Station, Orange County Advanced Power Station, Lone Star Power Station, Legend Power Station, and potential construction of additional generation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• investments in the Utility nuclear fleet;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting renewables expansion and customer growth; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience through projects focused on asset renewals and enhancements and grid stability.

The planned construction and capital investments amounts above exclude investments expected to be funded with customer advances for construction.

<u>Renewables</u>

Entergy Arkansas Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas's White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar

facility and Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas's cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

Cypress Harvest Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification for the Cypress Harvest Solar facility, a 200 MW solar facility to be located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. In March 2026 the LPSC staff filed an affidavit attesting that the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility meets the applicable parameters for Entergy Louisiana's expedited certification process and recommending that the LPSC grant certification. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to grant the requested approval and certification. The facility is expected to be in service by 2028.

<u>Other Generation and Transmission</u>

Jefferson Power Station

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Jefferson Power Station, an approximately 754 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in Jefferson County, Arkansas. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In January 2026 the APSC issued its order finding that Entergy Arkansas had demonstrated a need for the resource but had not met its burden with respect to supporting the prudence of the costs to construct the resource. The APSC acknowledged that the costs would be greater if Entergy Arkansas waited to pursue the resource. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to proceed with Jefferson Power Station as a strategic investment with estimated costs set at a benchmark, which the APSC erroneously believed reflected the current cost estimate but was, in fact, $90 million below the cost presented. In its January 2026 order, the APSC also approved Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the costs of constructing Jefferson Power Station through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. Additionally, in its January 2026 order, the APSC found that Entergy Arkansas should conduct all-source competitive solicitations for future generation additions, with limited exceptions where Entergy Arkansas believes that a specific solicitation should be restricted to a certain resource and provides a detailed explanation to the APSC supporting this belief, which the APSC later confirmed in its March 2026 order that this is a narrow exception. In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed for rehearing seeking to correct the benchmark. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order denying Entergy Arkansas's petition and maintained the benchmark, although costs over the benchmark were not found to be disallowed. Also in its March 2026 order, the APSC ordered Entergy Arkansas to submit a draft of an all-source request for proposals within thirty days of the order, which Entergy Arkansas filed in April 2026. Also in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of its construction costs, as required by the APSC order. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas's cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including Jefferson Power Station, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates.

Entergy Louisiana Additional Generation and Transmission Resources

See the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana's October 2024 application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement was previously executed.

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

In March 2026, Entergy Louisiana entered into an electric service agreement with Evest LLC (Evest), a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., in connection with establishing service to a second new data center to be developed by Evest in north Louisiana. The obligations pursuant to the agreement will commence following construction of certain transmission facilities needed to serve Evest, and the effectiveness of the agreement is conditioned upon receipt of required governmental approvals, including approval from the LPSC. Also in March 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC for certification to construct seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 5,278 MW at a total cost of approximately $12.9 billion, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, and three battery energy storage systems, including two that will be co-located with solar resources at the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility in Iberville Parish and the Bogalusa West Solar Facility in Washington Parish. The application also seeks approval to construct a new 500 kV transmission line, from West Fork Creek to St. Landry, estimated to cost $1.4 billion, and other related transmission facilities. Four of the new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources are to be located near the customer site in north Louisiana (Richland Parish Units 1-4), while the remaining three units will be located near the existing Big Cajun site in Pointe Coupee Parish (Pointe Coupee Units 1-3). The seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources have various estimated in-service dates in 2030 and 2031. The application also requests certain approvals related to a corporate sustainability agreement with the new customer. The corporate sustainability agreement contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 2,500 MW of new renewable and energy storage resources, agreements involving nuclear-related efforts and contributions to bill assistance and other programs for low-income residents. Entergy Louisiana anticipates recovering the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The application is pending before the LPSC. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to direct the administrative hearings division to adopt a procedural schedule that would allow for LPSC consideration of the matter at its December 2026 meeting, and also to have the administrative hearings division serve as a hearing examiner and compile a record for the LPSC to consider without the issuance of a formal recommendation from the ALJ.

The electric service agreement and related contracts contain provisions that protect Entergy Louisiana's current customers in a manner consistent with the LPSC's Lightning Initiative and Entergy Louisiana's Fair Share Plus guidelines, which the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana, respectively, developed in response to increased investment in large data centers in Louisiana. The protections include terms requiring the customer to pay Entergy Louisiana's incremental costs to serve the customer, including through contributions in aid of construction, other advanced payments and minimum monthly bills. The agreements also include specified financial obligations in the event that Evest terminates the contracts early, restructures the project, or in the event of default. These specified financial obligations would be based on Entergy Louisiana's unrecovered incremental costs to serve Evest at the time of such an event. Evest's obligations under the electric service agreement and related contracts are secured by various forms of collateral, including a guaranty from Meta Platforms, Inc.

Finally, the electric service agreement also includes provisions relating to Entergy Louisiana's performance obligations, including the timely construction of the facilities supporting service to Evest, audit rights for the construction costs supported by Evest, and service standards during the term of the electric service agreement. Entergy Louisiana's failure to meet one or more of these performance obligations could result in specified financial and/or non-financial penalties. Such penalties would vary based on the nature and severity of the failure, including the potential termination of the electric service agreement.

Babel - Webre 500 kV Transmission Project

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a 500 kV transmission project that includes the construction of a new 147-mile Babel to Webre 500 kV transmission line, the reconstruction of the Webre 500 kV switching station in Louisiana, and coordination with Entergy Texas on the construction of an approximately 4-mile 500 kV transmission line in Texas. The project was approved by MISO in the 2025 MISO Transmission Expansion

Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification to construct two 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine generators, the Waterford 6 Power Station and the Westlake Power Station, to be located at Entergy Louisiana's existing Waterford site near Killona, Louisiana and existing Roy S. Nelson site in Westlake, Louisiana, respectively. In its application, Entergy Louisiana noted the estimated costs are approximately $2,027 million for the Waterford 6 Power Station and $2,091 million for the Westlake Power Station. As described in the application, Entergy Louisiana is considering a third-party financing approach for the Waterford 6 Power Station. Entergy Louisiana asked that the LPSC consider the requests in the application at or before its December 2026 meeting. A procedural schedule has been set with hearings scheduled in October and November 2026. The estimated in-service dates for the Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station are July 2030 and October 2030, respectively.

Entergy Mississippi Additional Generation and Transmission Resources

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in March 2024, Entergy Mississippi executed a large customer supply and service agreement to serve two data center campuses located in Madison County, Mississippi in which Amazon Web Services is investing. In February 2025, Entergy Mississippi executed a large customer supply and service agreement to serve a data center campus located in Warren County, Mississippi in which Amazon Web Services is investing. In April 2026, Amazon Web Services announced the expansion of the data center campuses located in Madison County, Mississippi. The February 2025 agreement will serve this expansion. Also, in April 2026, Entergy Mississippi executed a large customer supply and service agreement to serve a data center campus located in Hinds County, Mississippi in which Amazon Web Services is investing. Consistent with Entergy Mississippi's Fair Share Plus guidelines, the large customer supply and service agreements are structured to ensure that the customer pays its incremental cost to serve and includes protections in the event of early termination.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $293 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase of $294 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $263 million in customer advances and $31 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction, and higher collections from Utility customers. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $711 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $408 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending by Entergy Arkansas on the Ironwood Power Station project and the Jefferson Power Station project, by Entergy Louisiana on the Richland Parish Power Station Units 1 and 2 project, the Waterford 5 Power Station project, and the Waterford 6 Power Station project, and by Entergy Mississippi on the Traceview Advanced Power Station project; partially offset by lower spending by Entergy Texas on the Orange County Advanced Power Station project in 2026 and lower spending on the Legend Power Station project as a result of the sale of assets related to the in-process project in December 2025. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Texas build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $136 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $65 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending by Entergy Louisiana on the Amite South transmission projects, increased spending on various other transmission projects, and higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in the Utility service area in 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $62 million in nuclear fuel purchases due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• payments to storm reserve escrow accounts of $3 million in 2026 compared to net receipts from storm reserve escrow accounts of $39 million in 2025.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $128 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $1,407 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• long-term debt activity providing approximately $2,391 million of cash in 2026 compared to providing approximately $1,595 million of cash in 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $346 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in forward contracts under the at the market equity distribution program in 2026. There were no issuances of common stock under the at the market equity distribution program in 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $322 million in net issuances of commercial paper in 2026 as compared to 2025.

**<u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of market and credit risk sensitive instruments. The following are updates to that discussion.

Some of the agreements to sell the power produced by Entergy's non-utility operations business contain provisions that require an Entergy subsidiary to provide credit support to secure its obligations under such agreements. The primary form of credit support used to satisfy these requirements is an Entergy Corporation guarantee. Cash and letters of credit are also acceptable forms of credit support. At March 31, 2026, based on power prices at that time, Entergy had $10 million of posted cash collateral.

In addition to the ability to post cash collateral, each of the Utility operating companies has uncommitted standby letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO and for other purposes. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for discussion of these letter of credit facilities. As of March 31, 2026, Entergy Arkansas had $37 million of posted cash collateral, Entergy Louisiana had $67 million of posted cash collateral, and Entergy New Orleans had $5 million of posted cash collateral.

**<u>Nuclear Matters</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>Nuclear Matters</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of nuclear matters. The following is an update to that discussion.

**NRC Reactor Oversight Process**

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. All of the nuclear generating plants owned and operated by Entergy's Utility business are currently in Column 1.

In March 2026 the NRC issued an inspection report for Grand Gulf, in which it identified a preliminary "white" finding with "low safety significance" related to one of Grand Gulf's emergency diesel generators. The NRC is continuing its evaluation of the issue and is expected to complete its determination during second quarter 2026. If the NRC's review results in a final white finding, Grand Gulf would be placed in Column 2 and would remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.

**<u>Exclusivity Agreement with Major Vendor</u>**

See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding Entergy's exclusivity agreement with a major vendor. The following is an update to that discussion.

As discussed in the Form 10-K, Entergy entered into an exclusivity agreement with a major vendor to manufacture power island equipment (PIE) and combustion turbines (CT) for combustion turbine generator set frames larger than 400 MWs. The agreement was amended in first quarter 2026, updating the minimum order of 21 sets of PIE and two CTs to a minimum order of 24 sets of PIE and two CTs during that time period, of which 10 sets of PIE and two CT slots have been fulfilled.

**Fuel and purchased power cost recovery**

<u>Entergy Arkansas</u>

Energy Cost Recovery Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $0.01333 per kWh to $0.01508 per kWh. The primary reason for the rate increase was an under-recovered balance as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2025. Based on circumstances related to ANO 2's refueling outage, Entergy Arkansas made an adjustment to projected energy costs to phase-in the rate increase gradually. The redetermined rate of $0.01508 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2026 through the normal operation of the tariff.

<u>Entergy Louisiana</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2025 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana's purchased gas adjustment clause filings (for Entergy Louisiana's gas operations). The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana's purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from January 2023 through June 2025. The LPSC staff issued its audit report in March 2026, and although certain internal record keeping recommendations were made, the LPSC staff did not recommend any disallowances. The next step is for the LPSC to issue its final report, but there is no deadline or timing requirement associated with the issuance of the final report.

In February 2026, Entergy Louisiana, in its monthly filing to update its fuel adjustment clause, requested to defer approximately $141.9 million of fuel costs incurred in January 2026 that were primarily attributable to the effects of Winter Storm Fern, consistent with the LPSC's general order approved at its February 2026 meeting

permitting temporary modifications to the LPSC's fuel adjustment clause general order. The filing proposes to defer the recovery of these fuel costs over a four-month period from March 2026 through June 2026 to mitigate the customer bill impacts of these fuel costs.

In April 2026 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana's fuel adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana's fuel adjustment clause for the period from 2023 through 2025.

**<u>Retail Rate Proceedings</u>**

See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for information regarding retail rate proceedings involving the Utility operating companies. The following are updates to that discussion.

**Filings with the APSC (Entergy Arkansas)**

<u>Retail Rates</u>

2026 Base Rate Case

In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a general change in rates, charges, and tariffs. The filing requested a base rate increase to recover a base rate revenue deficiency of $44.6 million and notified the APSC of Entergy Arkansas's intent to implement a forward test year formula rate plan pursuant to Arkansas legislation passed in 2015. The primary drivers of the revenue deficiency were increased depreciation expense and the impact of net capital additions. Additionally, the filing requested a 9.90% return on common equity and increased depreciation rates as the result of a depreciation study. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order suspending the proposed rates and tariffs filed by Entergy Arkansas and will establish a procedural schedule by subsequent order.

Generating Arkansas Jobs Act Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its first annual update to the strategic investment recovery rider, requesting recovery of $110.4 million of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission strategic investments related to Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, and the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility. The revised rates are requested to be effective for bills rendered on the first billing cycle of June 2026. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony arguing that the APSC had not issued an order designating Ironwood Power Station as a strategic investment and that related costs should therefore be removed from the annual update. Also in April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony asserting that the APSC general staff's position is contrary to the plain language of the statute, which includes an exception for facilities like Ironwood Power Station that were certified by the APSC within a certain timeframe. A hearing was held in April 2026.

Production Tax Credit Tariff

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, in January 2026 the APSC opened a docket to investigate the sale of Entergy Arkansas's nuclear production tax credits and the appropriate ratemaking treatment of production tax credits for all of Entergy Arkansas's eligible resources, including how the proceeds of any sales should flow through to customers. As directed by the APSC, in February 2026, Entergy Arkansas submitted a compliance filing to the APSC verifying the status of the solar production tax credits. The filing also verified that the net proceeds from the sale of the nuclear production tax credits were recorded in FERC accounts that are accruing a return for customers' benefit at a rate that is above the customer deposit rate. Subsequently, in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony setting forth its proposal for the solar production tax credits. Specifically, Entergy Arkansas requested the same ratemaking treatment for all of the solar facilities that the APSC already approved for Walnut Bend (i.e., the total net monetized proceeds from production tax credits expected to be

Notes to Financial Statements

generated over the first ten years of a solar facility's operation are estimated and then amortized over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically 30 years). Additionally, consistent with prior orders for these resources, the deferred tax asset balances associated with both the production tax credits and the tax gross-up of the regulatory liability will be recognized as a reduction to the overall accumulated deferred income tax liability balance in Entergy Arkansas's calculation of its weighted average cost of capital providing a return on the unamortized balance for the benefit of customers. Further, Entergy Arkansas proposes to flow the benefits of the solar production tax credits to customers through Entergy Arkansas's formula rate plan, effective with the formula rate plan rates that will go into effect January 1, 2027. Entergy Arkansas's proposal would result in the benefits of the production tax credits being passed through to customers, if approved, as reductions in revenue requirement evenly over the life of the assets, rather than only during the 10-year period in which the production tax credits are generated. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony proposing an amortization period of no more than 15 years for the monetized proceeds for the tax credits associated with the West Memphis Solar and Driver Solar facilities. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 2026.

<u>Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas's White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility and Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas's cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

Resilience Plan Cost Recovery Rider

In December 2022, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a public interest finding regarding Phase I of Entergy Louisiana's Future Ready resilience plan and approval of a rider mechanism to recover the program's costs. Phase I in the December 2022 application reflected the first five years of a ten-year resilience plan and included investment of approximately $5 billion, including hardening investment, transmission dead-end structures, enhanced vegetation management, and telecommunications improvement. In April 2024 the LPSC approved a framework which includes an initial five-year resilience plan providing for an investment of approximately $1.9 billion with cost recovery via a forward-looking rider with semi-annual true-ups. The plan is subject to specified reporting requirements and includes a performance review of the hardened assets. The LPSC order approving the framework does not include any restrictions on Entergy Louisiana's ability to file applications for approval of additional investments in resilience.

In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $40.4 million, or $38.9 million in incremental annual revenues from Entergy Louisiana's first semi-annual filing in July 2024, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2025 through August 2025. In February 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In July 2025, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $50.2 million, or $9.8 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of September 2025 through February 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana's true-up filing included an under-recovery totaling $5.6 million to be implemented in the January 2026 semi-annual filing. In August 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In January 2026, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $101.8 million, or $51.6 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2026 through August 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana's true-up filing included an over-recovery totaling $16.6 million to be implemented in the July 2026 semi-annual filing.

2026 Formula Rate Plan Filing

In February 2026, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2026 test year filing and 2025 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi's earned return on rate base for the historical 2025 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2026 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2026 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2025 look-back filing compared actual 2025 results to the approved benchmark return on rate base and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues, although Entergy Mississippi proposes to adjust interim rates by $293 thousand to reflect one outside-the-bandwidth change, a true-up of demand side management costs. A final order is expected in second quarter 2026.

2026 Formula Rate Plan Filing

In April 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing. The 2025 evaluation report produced an earned return on equity of 7.55% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in an increase in rates of $16.6 million. The increase in rates is driven, in part, by an increase in plant in service, as well as the cost of known and measurable capital additions. The increase is also driven by a decrease in total revenues due to a decline in kWh sales. The filing is subject to a 75-day review and discovery period followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed items, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve such disputes. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2026 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.

Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas's retail customers approximately $30.3 million annually, or $20.6 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas's then-effective TCRF rider based on its capital invested in transmission between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2026 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas's as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 6, 2026.

Generation Cost Recovery Rider

In March 2026, Entergy Texas filed an application to establish a generation cost recovery rider to begin recovering a return of and on its capital investment in the Orange County Advanced Power Station. The proposed generation cost recovery rider, which includes Entergy Texas's capital invested in generation for the Orange County Advanced Power Station through December 31, 2025, is designed to collect approximately $150.4 million annually from Entergy Texas's retail customers. By statute, the proposed generation cost recovery rider rates are to become effective when the Orange County Advanced Power Station is placed into service, which is expected in third quarter 2026.

The restricted stock awards and restricted stock units were made effective on January 29, 2026, and were valued at $96.03 per share, which was the closing price of Entergy Corporation's common stock on the grant date.

The restricted stock units do not have voting rights and are not considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy prior to vesting. One-third of the restricted stock units will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date and are paid in the form of shares of Entergy. Dividend equivalents accrue on the restricted stock units and are converted to additional restricted stock units, which are subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying restricted stock units.

The performance units represent the value of, and are settled with, one share of Entergy Corporation common stock at the end of the three-year performance period, plus dividends accrued during the performance period on the number of performance units earned. For the 2026-2028 performance period, performance will be measured based eighty percent on relative total shareholder return, ten percent on an environmental stewardship achievement measure, and ten percent on a reliability achievement measure.

Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity. All of Entergy's goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

**<u>Registrant Subsidiaries</u>**

Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, and Entergy Texas each has one operating and reportable segment, an integrated utility business which includes the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power; and included operation of a small natural gas distribution business at each of Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans through June 30, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025. System Energy has one operating and reportable segment, which is an electricity generation business. Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries' operations are managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results. All segment financial information for the Registrant Subsidiaries is as reported on the respective financial statements for each of the Registrant Subsidiaries.

**NOTE 8. RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

**Market Risk**

In the normal course of business, Entergy is exposed to a number of market risks. Market risk is the potential loss that Entergy may incur as a result of changes in the market or fair value of a particular commodity or instrument. All financial and commodity-related instruments, including derivatives, are subject to market risk including commodity price risk, equity price, and interest rate risk. Entergy uses derivatives primarily to mitigate

Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Financial Statements

commodity price risk associated with the price of fuel and to mitigate interest rate exposure related to certain financing agreements.

The Utility has limited exposure to the effects of market risk because it operates primarily under cost-based rate regulation. To the extent approved by their retail regulators, the Utility operating companies use commodity and financial instruments to hedge the exposure to price volatility inherent in their purchased power, fuel, and gas purchased for resale costs, that are recovered from customers.

**<u>Derivatives</u>**

Entergy designates a significant portion of its derivative instruments as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their physical settlement provisions, including power purchase and sales agreements, fuel purchase agreements, and capacity contracts. Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for designation as normal purchase/normal sale transactions due to their financial settlement provisions. See further discussion below regarding the accounting for these derivative instruments.

In 2025, Entergy Texas entered into interest rate swaps, accounted for as derivatives, to manage interest rate risks associated with Entergy Texas's build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for further discussion of the build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station. These interest rate swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. Interest will be calculated as the sum of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus the blended spreads per the build-to-suit lease arrangement, compounded monthly, with one cash settlement per year over the approximate two year construction period. The notional volume of the hedge was calculated based on the expected costs for the Legend Power Station at the time Entergy Texas entered into the interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swaps are recognized each period, with gains and losses deferred as a regulatory asset or liability. The interest rate swaps run through January 31, 2028. The total notional volume is up to $1.1 billion for Entergy Texas as of March 31, 2026. Credit support for the swaps are covered by master agreements that do not require Entergy Texas to provide collateral based on mark-to-market values, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to requests for collateral.

Entergy manages fuel price volatility for Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi through the purchase of natural gas swaps that financially settle against either the average Henry Hub Gas Daily prices or the NYMEX Henry Hub. These swaps are marked-to-market through fuel expense with offsetting regulatory assets or liabilities. All benefits or costs of the program are recorded in fuel costs. The notional volumes of these swaps are based on a portion of projected annual exposure to gas price volatility for electric generation at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Mississippi. The maximum length of time over which Entergy has executed natural gas swaps as of March 31, 2026 is seven months for Entergy Mississippi. The total volume of natural gas swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2026 is 12,505,900 MMBtu for Entergy and Entergy Mississippi. As of March 31, 2026, Entergy Louisiana had no outstanding natural gas swaps. Credit support for these natural gas swaps is covered by master agreements that do not require Entergy to provide collateral based on mark-to-market value, but do carry adequate assurance language that may lead to requests for collateral. Prior to the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business, Entergy also managed fuel price volatility related to projected winter purchases for gas distribution at Entergy New Orleans through the purchase of natural gas swaps. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution businesses on July 1, 2025.

During the second quarter 2025, Entergy participated in the annual financial transmission rights auction process for the MISO planning year of June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026. Financial transmission rights are derivative instruments that represent economic hedges of future congestion charges that will be incurred in serving Entergy's customer load. They are not designated as hedging instruments. Entergy initially records financial transmission rights at their estimated fair value and subsequently adjusts the carrying value to their estimated fair value at the end of each accounting period prior to settlement. Unrealized gains or losses on financial transmission

rights held by the non-utility operations are included in operating revenues. The Utility operating companies recognize regulatory liabilities or assets for unrealized gains or losses on financial transmission rights. The total volume of financial transmission rights outstanding as of March 31, 2026 is 18,455 GWh for Entergy, including 3,947 GWh for Entergy Arkansas, 9,828 GWh for Entergy Louisiana, 1,981 GWh for Entergy Mississippi, 661 GWh for Entergy New Orleans, and 2,038 GWh for Entergy Texas. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by the Utility operating companies is covered by cash and/or letters of credit issued by each Utility operating company as required by MISO. No cash was required to be posted for financial transmission rights exposure for the Utility operating companies as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Letters of credit posted with MISO covered the financial transmission rights exposure for Entergy Arkansas and Entergy Mississippi as of March 31, 2026 and for Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy Texas as of December 31, 2025. Credit support for financial transmission rights held by Entergy's non-utility operations business may also be covered by cash and/or letters of credit. No cash or letters of credit were required to be posted for financial transmission rights exposure for the non-utility operations business as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**<u>Fair Values</u>**

The estimated fair values of Entergy's financial instruments and derivatives are determined using historical prices, bid prices, market quotes, and financial modeling. Considerable judgment is required in developing the estimates of fair value. Therefore, estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Entergy could realize in a current market exchange. Gains or losses realized on financial instruments are reflected in future rates and

Notes to Financial Statements

therefore do not affect net income. Entergy considers the carrying amounts of most financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Accounting standards define fair value as an exit price, or the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable market participants at the date of measurement. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries use assumptions or market input data that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at fair value. The inputs can be readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. Entergy and the Registrant Subsidiaries endeavor to use the best available information to determine fair value.

Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy establishes the highest priority for unadjusted market quotes in an active market for the identical asset or liability and the lowest priority for unobservable inputs.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of individually owned common stocks, cash equivalents (temporary cash investments, securitization recovery trust account, and escrow accounts), debt instruments, and gas swaps traded on exchanges with active markets. Cash equivalents includes all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are, either directly or indirectly, observable for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Assets are valued based on prices derived by independent third parties that use inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Prices are reviewed and can be challenged with the independent parties and/or overridden by Entergy if it is believed such would be more reflective of fair value. Level 2 inputs include the following:

–quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

–quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

–inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or

–inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 2 consists primarily of individually-owned debt instruments, gas swaps, and interest rate swaps valued using observable inputs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are pricing inputs that are generally less observable or unobservable from objective sources. These inputs are used with internally developed methodologies to produce management's best estimate of fair value for the asset or liability. Level 3 consists primarily of financial transmission rights.

The values of financial transmission rights are based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of congestion costs in MISO between applicable generation and load pricing nodes based on the 50th percentile of historical prices. They are classified as Level 3 assets and liabilities. The valuations of these assets and liabilities are performed by the Office of Corporate Risk Oversight. The values are calculated internally and verified against the data published by MISO. Entergy's Accounting group reviews these valuations for reasonableness, with the assistance of others within the organization with knowledge of the various inputs and assumptions used in the

**NOTE 9. DECOMMISSIONING TRUST FUNDS (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy)**

The NRC requires certain of the Utility operating companies and System Energy to maintain nuclear decommissioning trusts to fund the costs of decommissioning ANO 1 and 2, River Bend, Waterford 3, and Grand Gulf. Entergy's nuclear decommissioning trust funds invest in equity securities, fixed-rate debt securities, and cash and cash equivalents.

Entergy records decommissioning trust funds on the balance sheet at their fair value. Because of the ability of the Registrant Subsidiaries to recover decommissioning costs in rates and in accordance with the regulatory treatment for decommissioning trust funds, for unrealized gains/(losses) on investment securities, the Registrant Subsidiaries record an offsetting amount in other regulatory liabilities/assets. For the 30% interest in River Bend formerly owned by Cajun, Entergy Louisiana records an offsetting amount in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets of Entergy and Entergy Louisiana for the unrealized trust earnings not currently expected to be needed to decommission the plant. Generally, Entergy records gains and losses on its debt and equity securities using the specific identification method to determine the cost basis of its securities.

The unrealized gains/(losses) recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 on equity securities still held as of March 31, 2026 were $185 million. The equity securities are generally held in funds that are designed to approximate or somewhat exceed the return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. A relatively small percentage of the equity securities are held in funds that are designed to approximate or somewhat exceed the return of the Wilshire 4500 Index. The debt securities are generally held in individual government and credit issuances.

Notes to Financial Statements

**NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

See "**<u>Income Tax Audits</u>**" and "**<u>Other Tax Matters</u>**" in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of income tax audits, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and other income tax matters involving Entergy. The following are updates to that discussion.

**<u>Other Tax Matters</u>**

**Inflation Reduction Act of 2022**

In April 2026 the LPSC issued an order approving an agreement between Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff regarding the monetization of the 2025 nuclear production tax credits. The order allows Entergy Louisiana to retain the net proceeds of the monetized credits while the associated tax position remains uncertain. While retaining these proceeds, Entergy Louisiana will accrue carrying charges to its customers at its weighted average cost of capital. The order further provides that customers will be responsible for any associated costs should the IRS reduce some or all of the value of the nuclear production tax credits transferred to third parties. Once the IRS makes a final determination affirming the value of the credits or the audit period expires without a disallowance, Entergy Louisiana will commence flowing the net proceeds of the nuclear production tax credits, including carrying charges, to its customers. This treatment is consistent with the approach previously approved for the 2024 nuclear production tax credits, as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K.

In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, and System Energy entered into an agreement with a third-party purchaser to transfer in third quarter 2026 certain nuclear production tax credits for cash, including a reasonable discount, prior to the filing of Entergy's 2025 federal income tax return. The monetized value of these credits, net of applicable expenses, is expected to be addressed in retail rates in accordance with applicable regulatory mechanisms.

**<u>Amortization of Tax Gross-up on Customer Advances</u>**

Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction, were $22.8 million for Entergy, $1.4 million for Entergy Arkansas, $14.7 million for Entergy Louisiana, $6.2 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $0.5 million for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction, were $15.5 million for Entergy, $1.1 million for Entergy Arkansas, $6.5 million for Entergy Louisiana, $6.1 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $1.9 million for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances is included in miscellaneous – net in other income in the income statement.

**NOTE 11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy)**

(a)Sales for resale includes day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO. These sales represent financially binding commitments for the sale of physical energy the next day. These sales are adjusted to actual power generated and delivered in the real time market. Given the short duration of these transactions, Entergy does not consider them to be derivatives subject to fair value adjustments and includes them as part of customer revenues.

(b)Other electric revenues consist primarily of transmission and ancillary services provided to participants of an ISO-administered market, unbilled revenue, and the return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments.

(c)Other Utility revenues include occasional sales of inventory, alternative revenue programs, provisions for revenue subject to refund, late fees, and amounts resulting from other operating activities.

(d)Other revenues include the sale of electric power and capacity to wholesale customers, day-ahead sales of energy in a market administered by an ISO, and operation and management services fees.

**Electric Revenues**

See Note 19 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of electric revenues. The following is an update to that discussion.

Most of Entergy's contracts are on demand, with customer bills that vary each month based on an approved tariff and usage. Certain retail customers, primarily large industrial customers from various industries, have electric service agreements that require a fixed amount of consideration to be paid through the end of a contract term longer than one year. As of March 31, 2026, the amount of revenues related to this fixed consideration that Entergy expects to recognize over the remaining contract terms, extending through 2048, was $8,031 million for Entergy, including $4,400 million for Entergy Arkansas, $848 million for Entergy Louisiana, $2,577 million for Entergy Mississippi, and $206 million for Entergy Texas. These contracts also require variable payments based on the actual amount of energy service, which are recognized as revenue as Entergy has the right to bill the customer for services performed.

See the "**<u>Market and Credit Risk Sensitive Instruments</u>**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis.

**Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

<u>Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

As of March 31, 2026, evaluations were performed under the supervision and with the participation of Entergy Corporation, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Mississippi, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Texas, and System Energy (each individually a "Registrant" and collectively the "Registrants") management, including their respective Principal Executive Officers (PEO) and Principal Financial Officers (PFO). The evaluations assessed the effectiveness of the Registrants' disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluations, each PEO and PFO has concluded that, as to the Registrant or Registrants for which they serve as PEO or PFO, the Registrant's or Registrants' disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by each Registrant in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and that the Registrant's or Registrants' disclosure controls and procedures are also effective in reasonably assuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's or Registrants' management, including their respective PEOs and PFOs, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

<u>Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u>

Under the supervision and with the participation of each Registrant's management, including its respective PEO and PFO, each Registrant evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and found no change that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

**ENTERGY ARKANSAS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**

See the "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Arkansas's current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $50 million, including approximately $40 million in capital costs and approximately $10 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Arkansas were $74 million in January 2026 compared to $25 million in January 2025.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income decreased $3.8 million primarily due to higher interest expense and lower volume/weather, partially offset by higher retail electric price.

**Operating Revenues**

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the three months ended March 31, 2026 to the three months ended March 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $613.5 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 21.8 |
| Retail electric price | 22.5 |
| Volume/weather | (11.5) |
| **2026 operating revenues** | **$646.3** |

---

Entergy Arkansas's results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates effective January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2025 formula rate plan filing.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales, a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage, and a decrease in commercial usage, partially offset by an increase in industrial usage. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the primary metals and technology industries.

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Arkansas's operating revenues.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $6.9 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs and increased contract labor costs, partially offset by a decrease of $6.2 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments and millage rate increases.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service and an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026.

Entergy Arkansas records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.

Other income increased primarily due to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of decommissioning trust funds in first quarter 2026.

Interest expense increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $300 million of 5.45% Series mortgage bonds in May 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $3.8 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was 17.6% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, and book

and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 21% for the first quarter 2025. The accrual for state income taxes was offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess state accumulated deferred income taxes as a result of tax rate changes.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

**Cash Flow**

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $577485 | $55060 |

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers and the receipt of $48.7 million in advance payments related to customer agreements in first quarter 2026. The increase was substantially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $257.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $128.0 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Ironwood Power Station project and the Jefferson Power Station project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $31.8 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to increased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net purchases of $50.2 million in 2026 compared to net proceeds of $12.3 million in 2025 as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel

reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity.

Increases in Entergy Arkansas's receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas's receivable from the money pool increased $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries' dependence on external short-term borrowings.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Entergy Arkansas's financing activities provided $457.8 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to using $45.8 million of cash for three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the following activity:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances of $500 million of 5.75% Series mortgage bonds and $500 million of 4.95% Series mortgage bonds, each in January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net long-term borrowings of $45.4 million in 2026 compared to net repayments of $17.1 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity's credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $40.5 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $600 million of 3.5% Series mortgage bonds in February 2026.

Decreases in Entergy Arkansas's payable to the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Arkansas's payable to the money pool decreased $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

**Capital Structure**

Entergy Arkansas's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Arkansas is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 55.2% | 53.7% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.6%) | (1.3%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 52.6% | 52.4% |

---

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Arkansas uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Arkansas's financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Arkansas also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Arkansas's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Arkansas's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.

Entergy Arkansas has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. Entergy Arkansas also has a $25 million credit facility scheduled to expire in April 2028. The $300 million credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $5 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were no cash borrowings under either credit facility and no letters of credit outstanding under the $300 million credit facility. In addition, Entergy Arkansas is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2026, $89.6 million in letters of credit were outstanding under Entergy Arkansas's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

The Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $80 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2026, there were $59.1 million in loans outstanding under the credit facility for the Entergy Arkansas nuclear fuel company variable interest entity. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility.

<u>Jefferson Power Station</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in August 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of Jefferson Power Station, an approximately 754 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine facility to be located in Jefferson County, Arkansas. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In January 2026 the APSC issued its order finding that Entergy Arkansas had demonstrated a need for the resource but had not met its burden with respect to supporting the prudence of the costs to construct the resource. The APSC acknowledged that the costs would be greater if Entergy Arkansas waited to pursue the resource. The APSC authorized Entergy Arkansas to proceed with Jefferson Power Station as a strategic investment with estimated costs set at a benchmark, which the APSC erroneously believed reflected the current cost estimate but was, in fact, $90 million below the cost presented. In its January 2026 order, the APSC also approved Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the costs of constructing Jefferson Power Station through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. Additionally, in its January 2026 order, the APSC found that Entergy Arkansas should conduct all-source competitive solicitations for future generation additions, with limited exceptions where Entergy Arkansas believes that a specific solicitation should be restricted to a certain resource and provides a detailed explanation to the APSC supporting this belief, which the APSC later confirmed in its March 2026 order that this is a narrow exception. In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed for rehearing seeking to correct the benchmark. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order denying Entergy Arkansas's petition and maintained the benchmark, although costs over the benchmark were not found to be disallowed. Also in its March 2026 order, the APSC ordered Entergy Arkansas to submit a draft of an all-source request for proposals within thirty days of the order, which Entergy Arkansas filed in April 2026. Also in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness

of its construction costs, as required by the APSC order. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas's cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including Jefferson Power Station, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates.

<u>Special Rate Contract and Arkansas Cypress Solar</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in September 2025, Entergy Arkansas filed an application with the APSC seeking a certificate of environmental compatibility and public need for the construction and operation of the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, a planned 600 MW solar photovoltaic array with a 350 MW battery energy storage system and associated transmission facilities interconnecting at Entergy Arkansas's White Bluff substation. The estimated cost of the project is $1,602 million. In March 2026 the APSC approved the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility and Entergy Arkansas's recovery of the costs of the facility through the Generating Arkansas Jobs Act rider. The APSC also ordered implementation of an independent monitor to oversee costs. In April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC its proposal for an independent monitor to oversee the reasonableness of costs. In April 2026 the APSC issued an order consolidating Entergy Arkansas's cost independent monitor proposals for three pending resources, including the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility, into a single docket and directing parties with full intervention status to respond to the proposals and recommend independent monitor candidates. The facility is expected to be in service by the end of 2028.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.

**Retail Rates**

<u>2026 Base Rate Case</u>

In February 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed with the APSC a general change in rates, charges, and tariffs. The filing requested a base rate increase to recover a base rate revenue deficiency of $44.6 million and notified the APSC of Entergy Arkansas's intent to implement a forward test year formula rate plan pursuant to Arkansas legislation passed in 2015. The primary drivers of the revenue deficiency were increased depreciation expense and the impact of net capital additions. Additionally, the filing requested a 9.90% return on common equity and increased depreciation rates as the result of a depreciation study. In March 2026 the APSC issued an order suspending the proposed rates and tariffs filed by Entergy Arkansas and will establish a procedural schedule by subsequent order.

<u>Generating Arkansas Jobs Act Rider</u>

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its first annual update to the strategic investment recovery rider, requesting recovery of $110.4 million of financing costs during construction of generation and transmission strategic investments related to Ironwood Power Station, Jefferson Power Station, and the Arkansas Cypress Solar facility. The revised rates are requested to be effective for bills rendered on the first billing cycle of June 2026. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony arguing that the APSC had not issued an order designating Ironwood Power Station as a strategic investment and that related costs should therefore be removed from the annual update. Also in April 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony asserting that the APSC general staff's position is contrary to the plain language of the statute, which includes an exception for facilities like Ironwood Power Station that were certified by the APSC within a certain timeframe. A hearing was held in April 2026.

<u>Production Tax Credit Tariff</u>

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K, in January 2026 the APSC opened a docket to investigate the sale of Entergy Arkansas's nuclear production tax credits and the appropriate ratemaking treatment of production tax credits for all of Entergy Arkansas's eligible resources, including how the proceeds of any sales should flow through to customers. As directed by the APSC, in February 2026, Entergy Arkansas submitted a compliance filing to the APSC verifying the status of the solar production tax credits. The filing also verified that the net proceeds from the sale of the nuclear production tax credits were recorded in FERC accounts that are accruing a return for customers' benefit at a rate that is above the customer deposit rate. Subsequently, in March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed testimony setting forth its proposal for the solar production tax credits. Specifically, Entergy Arkansas requested the same ratemaking treatment for all of the solar facilities that the APSC already approved for Walnut Bend (i.e., the total net monetized proceeds from production tax credits expected to be generated over the first ten years of a solar facility's operation are estimated and then amortized over the expected useful life of the asset, which is typically 30 years). Additionally, consistent with prior orders for these resources, the deferred tax asset balances associated with both the production tax credits and the tax gross-up of the regulatory liability will be recognized as a reduction to the overall accumulated deferred income tax liability balance in Entergy Arkansas's calculation of its weighted average cost of capital providing a return on the unamortized balance for the benefit of customers. Further, Entergy Arkansas proposes to flow the benefits of the solar production tax credits to customers through Entergy Arkansas's formula rate plan, effective with the formula rate plan rates that will go into effect January 1, 2027. Entergy Arkansas's proposal would result in the benefits of the production tax credits being passed through to customers, if approved, as reductions in revenue requirement evenly over the life of the assets, rather than only during the 10-year period in which the production tax credits are generated. In April 2026 the APSC general staff filed testimony proposing an amortization period of no more than 15 years for the monetized proceeds for the tax credits associated with the West Memphis Solar and Driver Solar facilities. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for July 2026.

**Energy Cost Recovery Rider**

In March 2026, Entergy Arkansas filed its annual redetermination of its energy cost rate pursuant to the energy cost recovery rider, which reflected an increase in the rate from $0.01333 per kWh to $0.01508 per kWh. The primary reason for the rate increase was an under-recovered balance as a result of higher natural gas prices in 2025. Based on circumstances related to ANO 2's refueling outage, Entergy Arkansas made an adjustment to projected energy costs to phase-in the rate increase gradually. The redetermined rate of $0.01508 per kWh became effective with the first billing cycle in April 2026 through the normal operation of the tariff.

**ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**

See the "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Louisiana's current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $250 million, including approximately $215 million in capital costs and approximately $35 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Louisiana were $256 million in January 2026 compared to $115 million in January 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of fuel cost recovery at Entergy Louisiana.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income increased $21.7 million primarily due to a higher return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments, higher retail electric price, higher volume/weather, and higher other income. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense, higher depreciation and amortization expenses, and higher taxes other than income taxes.

**Operating Revenues**

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $1301.5 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 114.4 |
| Return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments | 17.6 |
| Retail electric price | 10.7 |
| Volume/weather | 9.5 |
| Effect of sale of natural gas distribution business | (29.6) |
| **2026 operating revenues** | **$1424.1** |

---

Entergy Louisiana's results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

The return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4de6789223a64a1d9606ed88687de69c_7)</u>

Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to increases in the resilience plan cost recovery rider effective March 2025 and March 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein for discussion of the resilience plan cost recovery rider filings.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage, partially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the petroleum refining, solar technology, and agricultural chemicals industries, partially offset by a decrease in demand from large industrial customers in the chlor-alkali and industrial gases industries. The increase in industrial usage is also primarily due to an increase in demand from co-generation customers.

The effect of sale of natural gas distribution business variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy Louisiana natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Louisiana for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 2946 | 3169 | (7) |
| Commercial | 2434 | 2432 |  |
| Industrial | 9202 | 8533 | 8 |
| Governmental | 184 | 195 | (6) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total retail | 14766 | 14329 | 3 |
| Sales for resale: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Associated companies | 1398 | 1448 | (3) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-associated companies | 333 | 228 | 46 |
| Total | 16497 | 16005 | 3 |

---

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Louisiana's operating revenues.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased slightly primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $5.2 million in compensation and benefits costs primarily due to a revision to estimated incentive-based compensation expense in first quarter 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $3.1 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to a higher scope of work performed in 2026 as compared to 2025 and increased contract labor costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• several individually insignificant items.

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $6.1 million in loss provisions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.4 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed during plant outages in 2026 as compared to 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $4.0 million in insurance expenses primarily due to higher nuclear insurance refunds.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Taxes other than income taxes increased primarily due to increases in ad valorem taxes resulting from higher assessments.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased primarily due to additions to plant in service, an increase in FERC jurisdictional depreciation rates effective January 2026, and an increase in nuclear depreciation rates effective September 2025 in accordance with the global stipulated settlement agreement approved by the LPSC in August 2024. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the global stipulated settlement agreement.

Entergy Louisiana records a regulatory charge or credit for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and nuclear decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue.

Other income increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in decommissioning trust fund activity, including portfolio rebalancing of the River Bend decommissioning trust fund in first quarter 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $6.5 million in the amortization of tax gross-up on customer advances, including customer advances for construction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase in the allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2026.

The increase was offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in affiliated dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitizations. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the storm cost securitizations.

Interest expense increased primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $9.8 million in carrying costs on customer advances, including customer advances for construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $4.1 million in carrying costs in first quarter 2026 on retained net proceeds from the monetization of nuclear production tax credits.

The increase was partially offset by the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was 15.5% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 17.5% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the book and tax differences related to the non-taxable income distributions earned on preferred membership interests, book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $1239010 | $392245 |

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $87.1 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $80.6 million in customer advances and $6.5 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• higher collections from customers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $17.9 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.

The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $252.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $260.5 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Richland Parish Power Station Units 1 and 2 project, the Waterford 5 Power Station project, and the Waterford 6 Power Station project;

Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $100.3 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased investment in the resilience of the transmission system and higher spending on the Amite South transmission projects and on various other transmission projects in 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $64.6 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the receipt of $33.5 million from the storm reserve escrow account in first quarter 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of the storm reserve funds.

The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $100.5 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various nuclear projects in 2026 and a decrease in cash used of $118.2 million as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, materials and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $616 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuances of $750 million of 5.65% Series mortgage bonds and $750 million of 4.90% Series mortgage bonds, each in February 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $190 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment, prior to maturity, of $110 million of 3.78% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $36.3 million in common equity distributions paid in 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Louisiana's capital structure. No common equity distributions were paid in 2026.

The increase was partially offset by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $750 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in January 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the repayment of $250 million of 4.44% Series mortgage bonds in January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net repayments of $21.3 million in 2026 compared to net long-term borrowings of $100 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entities' credit facilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $93.6 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.

See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

**Capital Structure**

Entergy Louisiana's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Louisiana is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31,<br>2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 48.7% | 46.6% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.8%) | (2.0%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 45.9% | 44.6% |

---

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Louisiana uses the debt to capital ratio in

analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana's financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Louisiana also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Louisiana's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Louisiana's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

**Uses and Sources of Capital**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Louisiana's uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

Following are the current annual amounts of Entergy Louisiana's planned construction and other capital investments.

The updated capital plan for 2026-2029 reflects incremental capital investments for potential generation projects, primarily related to resources identified in Entergy Louisiana's application filed with the LPSC in March 2026 as discussed below in "Additional Generation and Transmission Resources". In addition to routine capital spending to maintain operations, the capital plan for Entergy Louisiana includes investments in generation projects to modernize, decarbonize, expand, and diversify Entergy Louisiana's portfolio, as well as to support customer growth, including Segno Solar, Votaw Solar, Bogalusa West Solar, Cypress Harvest Solar, Franklin Farms Power Station Units 1 and 2, Waterford 5 Power Station, Cottonwood Power Station, Westlake Power Station, Richland Parish Units 1-4, Pointe Coupee Units 1-3, and other new generation resources; investments in River Bend and Waterford 3; distribution and Utility support spending to improve reliability, resilience, and customer experience; transmission spending to improve reliability and resilience while also supporting customer growth and renewables expansion; and other investments. The planned construction and capital investments amounts above exclude investments expected to be funded with customer advances for construction.

Entergy Louisiana's receivables from the money pool were as follows:

See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facilities.

<u>Renewables</u>

Cypress Harvest Solar

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification for the Cypress Harvest Solar facility, a 200 MW solar facility to be located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. In March 2026 the LPSC staff filed an affidavit attesting that the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility meets the applicable parameters for Entergy Louisiana's expedited certification process and recommending that the LPSC grant certification. At its April 2026 meeting, the LPSC voted to grant the requested approval and certification. The facility is expected to be in service by 2028.

<u>Other Generation and Transmission</u>

Additional Generation and Transmission Resources

See the Form 10-K for discussion of Entergy Louisiana's October 2024 application with the LPSC seeking approval of a variety of generation and transmission resources proposed in connection with establishing service to a new data center to be developed by a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. in north Louisiana, for which an electric service agreement was previously executed.

In March 2026, Entergy Louisiana entered into an electric service agreement with Evest LLC (Evest), a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., in connection with establishing service to a second new data center to be developed by Evest in north Louisiana. The obligations pursuant to the agreement will commence following construction of certain transmission facilities needed to serve Evest, and the effectiveness of the agreement is conditioned upon receipt of required governmental approvals, including approval from the LPSC. Also in March 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC for certification to construct seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources totaling 5,278 MW at a total cost of approximately $12.9 billion, each of which will be enabled for future carbon capture and storage, and three battery energy storage systems, including two that will be co-located with solar resources at the Cypress Harvest Solar Facility in Iberville Parish and the Bogalusa West Solar Facility in Washington Parish. The application also seeks approval to construct a new 500 kV transmission line, from West Fork Creek to St. Landry, estimated to cost $1.4 billion, and other related transmission facilities. Four of the new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources are to be located near the customer site in north Louisiana (Richland Parish Units 1-4), while the remaining three units will be located near the existing Big Cajun site in Pointe Coupee Parish (Pointe Coupee Units 1-3). The seven new combined cycle combustion turbine generation resources have various estimated in-service dates in 2030 and 2031. The application also requests certain approvals related to a corporate sustainability agreement with the new customer. The corporate sustainability agreement contemplates the new customer contributing to the costs of the future addition of 2,500 MW of new renewable and energy storage resources, agreements involving nuclear-related efforts and contributions to bill assistance and other programs for low-income residents. Entergy Louisiana anticipates recovering the incremental cost to serve the customer through direct financial contributions from the customer and the revenues it expects to earn under the electric service agreement. The application is pending before the LPSC. At its April 2026

meeting, the LPSC voted to direct the administrative hearings division to adopt a procedural schedule that would allow for LPSC consideration of the matter at its December 2026 meeting, and also to have the administrative hearings division serve as a hearing examiner and compile a record for the LPSC to consider without the issuance of a formal recommendation from the ALJ.

The electric service agreement and related contracts contain provisions that protect Entergy Louisiana's current customers in a manner consistent with the LPSC's Lightning Initiative and Entergy Louisiana's Fair Share Plus guidelines, which the LPSC and Entergy Louisiana, respectively, developed in response to increased investment in large data centers in Louisiana. The protections include terms requiring the customer to pay Entergy Louisiana's incremental costs to serve the customer, including through contributions in aid of construction, other advanced payments and minimum monthly bills. The agreements also include specified financial obligations in the event that Evest terminates the contracts early, restructures the project, or in the event of default. These specified financial obligations would be based on Entergy Louisiana's unrecovered incremental costs to serve Evest at the time of such an event. Evest's obligations under the electric service agreement and related contracts are secured by various forms of collateral, including a guaranty from Meta Platforms, Inc.

Finally, the electric service agreement also includes provisions relating to Entergy Louisiana's performance obligations, including the timely construction of the facilities supporting service to Evest, audit rights for the construction costs supported by Evest, and service standards during the term of the electric service agreement. Entergy Louisiana's failure to meet one or more of these performance obligations could result in specified financial and/or non-financial penalties. Such penalties would vary based on the nature and severity of the failure, including the potential termination of the electric service agreement.

Babel - Webre 500 kV Transmission Project

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in December 2025, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a 500 kV transmission project that includes the construction of a new 147-mile Babel to Webre 500 kV transmission line, the reconstruction of the Webre 500 kV switching station in Louisiana, and coordination with Entergy Texas on the construction of an approximately 4-mile 500 kV transmission line in Texas. The project was approved by MISO in the 2025 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan and has an estimated cost of $1,238 million and an estimated in-service date of August 2029. A procedural schedule has been set with a hearing scheduled for September 2026. Discovery is ongoing.

Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in February 2026, Entergy Louisiana filed an application seeking LPSC approval and certification to construct two 754 MW combined cycle combustion turbine generators, the Waterford 6 Power Station and the Westlake Power Station, to be located at Entergy Louisiana's existing Waterford site near Killona, Louisiana and existing Roy S. Nelson site in Westlake, Louisiana, respectively. In its application, Entergy Louisiana noted the estimated costs are approximately $2,027 million for the Waterford 6 Power Station and $2,091 million for the Westlake Power Station. As described in the application, Entergy Louisiana is considering a third-party financing approach for the Waterford 6 Power Station. Entergy Louisiana asked that the LPSC consider the requests in the application at or before its December 2026 meeting. A procedural schedule has been set with hearings scheduled in October and November 2026. The estimated in-service dates for the Waterford 6 Power Station and Westlake Power Station are July 2030 and October 2030, respectively.

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel Cost Recovery</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.

**Retail Rates**

<u>Resilience Plan Cost Recovery Rider</u>

In December 2022, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC seeking a public interest finding regarding Phase I of Entergy Louisiana's Future Ready resilience plan and approval of a rider mechanism to recover the program's costs. Phase I in the December 2022 application reflected the first five years of a ten-year resilience plan and included investment of approximately $5 billion, including hardening investment, transmission dead-end structures, enhanced vegetation management, and telecommunications improvement. In April 2024 the LPSC approved a framework which includes an initial five-year resilience plan providing for an investment of approximately $1.9 billion with cost recovery via a forward-looking rider with semi-annual true-ups. The plan is subject to specified reporting requirements and includes a performance review of the hardened assets. The LPSC order approving the framework does not include any restrictions on Entergy Louisiana's ability to file applications for approval of additional investments in resilience.

In January 2025, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $40.4 million, or $38.9 million in incremental annual revenues from Entergy Louisiana's first semi-annual filing in July 2024, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2025 through August 2025. In February 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In July 2025, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $50.2 million, or $9.8 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of September 2025 through February 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana's true-up filing included an under-recovery totaling $5.6 million to be implemented in the January 2026 semi-annual filing. In August 2025 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

In January 2026, Entergy Louisiana's semi-annual filing sought to collect from Entergy Louisiana's retail customers approximately $101.8 million, or $51.6 million in incremental annual revenues, for projects expected to be placed in service during the rate-effective period of March 2026 through August 2026. Additionally, Entergy Louisiana's true-up filing included an over-recovery totaling $16.6 million to be implemented in the July 2026 semi-annual filing. In February 2026 the LPSC staff reviewed the filed rider rates and identified no material issues.

**Fuel and purchased power cost recovery**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in June 2025 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana's purchased gas adjustment clause filings (for Entergy Louisiana's gas operations). The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana's purchased gas adjustment clause for the period from January 2023 through June 2025. The LPSC staff issued its audit report in March 2026, and although certain internal record keeping recommendations were made, the LPSC staff did not recommend any disallowances. The next step is for the LPSC to issue its final report, but there is no deadline or timing requirement associated with the issuance of the final report.

In February 2026, Entergy Louisiana, in its monthly filing to update its fuel adjustment clause, requested to defer approximately $141.9 million of fuel costs incurred in January 2026 that were primarily attributable to the effects of Winter Storm Fern, consistent with the LPSC's general order approved at its February 2026 meeting

permitting temporary modifications to the LPSC's fuel adjustment clause general order. The filing proposes to defer the recovery of these fuel costs over a four-month period from March 2026 through June 2026 to mitigate the customer bill impacts of these fuel costs.

In April 2026 the LPSC staff provided notice of an audit of Entergy Louisiana's fuel adjustment clause filings. The audit includes a review of the reasonableness of charges flowed through Entergy Louisiana's fuel adjustment clause for the period from 2023 through 2025.

**ENTERGY MISSISSIPPI, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**

See the "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of Winter Storm Fern. Entergy Mississippi's current estimate for the cost of mobilizing crews and restoring power is approximately $175 million, including approximately $140 million in capital costs and approximately $35 million in non-capital costs. Natural gas purchases for Entergy Mississippi were $85 million in January 2026 compared to $28 million in January 2025.

The "Mississippi 2026 Severe Winter Storm Electric Utility Customer Relief and Electric Utility System Restoration Act" passed in Mississippi legislation in April 2026. This legislation provides that the MPSC may issue an electric utility financing order authorizing the issuance of system restoration bonds, the proceeds of which shall be used to securitize the system restoration costs and storm damage reserve levels of those utilities affected by Winter Storm Fern. The legislation requires that an electric utility affected by the storm must first petition the MPSC for such a financing order that complies with the requirements outlined in the legislation. The legislation states that any system restoration bonds issued under a financing order will not be considered debt of the electric utility. These bonds will only be backed by the system restoration property specified in the financing order. Entergy Mississippi plans to file for storm cost recovery under this legislation in third quarter 2026.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income increased $37.5 million primarily due to a regulatory charge, recorded in the first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance, higher retail electric price, and a higher return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments. The increase was partially offset by higher interest expense.

**Operating Revenues**

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $423.7 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 75.2 |
| Retail electric price | 13.9 |
| Return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments | 12.5 |
| Volume/weather | 0.1 |
| **2026 operating revenues** | **$525.4** |

---

Entergy Mississippi's results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

Entergy Mississippi, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan rates resulting from an increase in interim facilities rate adjustment revenues effective January 2026. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the interim facilities rate adjustment filing.

The return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments variance represents the revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on investment in construction work in progress for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred.

The volume/weather variance is insignificant and primarily due to an increase in industrial usage, substantially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the data center industry.

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Mississippi for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 1219 | 1311 | (7) |
| Commercial | 983 | 1002 | (2) |
| Industrial | 1004 | 526 | 91 |
| Governmental | 88 | 89 | (1) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total retail | 3294 | 2928 | 13 |
| Sales for resale: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-associated companies | 1244 | 694 | 79 |
| Total | 4538 | 3622 | 25 |

---

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Mississippi's operating revenues.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $2.4 million in power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation maintenance costs and increased contract labor costs and several individually insignificant items.

Other regulatory charges (credits) – net includes a regulatory charge of $21 million, recorded in first quarter 2025, to reflect an adjustment to the grid modernization over/under recovery deferral balance.

Other income increased primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million in interest earned on money pool investments.

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuances of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 24.6% for the first quarter 2026 and 24.1% for the first quarter 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the first quarter 2026 and the first quarter 2025 versus the

federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

**<u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for discussion of income tax legislation and regulation.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

**Cash Flow**

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| | (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) |
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $341484 | $155693 |
| Net cash provided by (used in): |  |  |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investing activities | (592936) | (432064) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financing activities | 995781 | 754423 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | 741546 | 442464 |
| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $1083030 | $598157 |

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $218.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase of $158.5 million in receipts of advance payments related to customer agreements, including $133.8 million in customer advances and $24.7 million in tax gross-up on customer advances for construction, and higher collections from customers. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $160.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $117.0 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending on the Traceview Advanced Power Station project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $59.6 million in capital expenditures related to storm restoration primarily due to Winter Storm Fern. See "**<u>Winter Storm Fern</u>**" above for discussion of storm restoration efforts in 2026; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $26.0 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to higher capital expenditures as a result of increased development in Entergy Mississippi's service area in 2026.

The increase was partially offset by money pool activity.

Increases in Entergy Mississippi's receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Mississippi's receivable from the money pool increased $55.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $94.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an

intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries' dependence on external short-term borrowings.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities increased $241.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $650 million of 5.05% Series mortgage bonds in March 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $135.5 million in capital contributions received from Entergy Corporation in first quarter 2026 as compared to first quarter 2025 in order to maintain Entergy Mississippi's capital structure; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $54.9 million in net customer advances for construction related to transmission, distribution, and generator interconnection agreements.

The increase was partially offset by the issuance of $600 million of 5.80% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

**Capital Structure**

Entergy Mississippi's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Mississippi is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026, partially offset by a capital contribution of $198 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31,<br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 53.1% | 50.5% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (8.7%) | (2.9%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 44.4% | 47.6% |

---

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy Mississippi uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi's financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy Mississippi uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Mississippi's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Mississippi's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

<u>2026 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

In February 2026, Entergy Mississippi submitted its formula rate plan 2026 test year filing and 2025 look-back filing showing Entergy Mississippi's earned return on rate base for the historical 2025 calendar year to be within the formula rate plan bandwidth and projected earned return for the 2026 calendar year to also be within the formula rate plan bandwidth. The 2026 test year filing resulted in an earned return on rate base of 7.64% and reflected no change in formula rate plan revenues. The 2025 look-back filing compared actual 2025 results to the

**ENTERGY NEW ORLEANS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income decreased $5.7 million primarily due to the net effect of decreased natural gas revenues and expenses resulting from the sale of Entergy New Orleans's natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025, lower volume/weather, and lower retail electric price, partially offset by lower interest expense. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

**Operating Revenues**

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $181.1 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 39.0 |
| Effect of sale of natural gas distribution business | (42.1) |
| Volume/weather | (3.9) |
| Retail electric price | (2.4) |
| **2026 operating revenues** | **$171.7** |

---

Entergy New Orleans's results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

The effect of sale of natural gas distribution business variance represents the decrease in operating revenues resulting from the absence of natural gas revenues following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to a decrease in weather-adjusted residential usage, a decrease in commercial usage, and the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to a decrease in formula rate plan rates effective September 2025 in accordance with the terms of the 2025 formula rate plan filing. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the formula rate plan filing.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Total electric energy sales for Entergy New Orleans for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 495 | 534 | (7) |
| Commercial | 437 | 439 |  |
| Industrial | 88 | 72 | 22 |
| Governmental | 174 | 174 |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total retail | 1194 | 1219 | (2) |
| Sales for resale: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-associated companies | 465 | 97 | 379 |
| Total | 1659 | 1316 | 26 |

---

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy New Orleans's operating revenues.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease of $2.8 million in gas operations expenses resulting from the absence of expenses following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025 and a decrease of $1.1 million in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work performed, including during plant outages, in 2026 as compared to 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Taxes other than income taxes decreased primarily due to decreases in local franchise fees as a result of lower retail revenues in 2026 as compared to 2025, including the absence of natural gas revenues in 2026 following the sale of Entergy New Orleans's natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased primarily due to the absence of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with natural gas plant in service following the sale of the natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025. See Note 14 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the sale of the Entergy New Orleans natural gas distribution business on July 1, 2025.

Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease of $3.1 million in carrying costs on regulatory liability balances.

<u>Income Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rate was (1.6%) for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items and the amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 23.6% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $68970 | $13926 |

---

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Entergy New Orleans's operating activities used $3.7 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to providing $2.6 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors, lower collections from customers, and lower fuel and purchased power payments. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025 and cash collateral of $5.0 million posted in 2026 to support Entergy New Orleans's obligations to MISO.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Entergy New Orleans's financing activities used $0.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to providing $1.4 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the repayment, at maturity, of $78 million of 3.00% Series mortgage bonds in March 2025 and proceeds received in March 2025 from an $80 million unsecured term loan. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

Entergy New Orleans, LLC and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

**Capital Structure**

Entergy New Orleans's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, <br>2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 51.8% | 52.1% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.8%) | (4.6%) |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 49.0% | 47.5% |

---

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings, finance lease obligations, long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion, and the long-term payable due to an associated company. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. Entergy New Orleans uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans's financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Entergy New Orleans also uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy New Orleans's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy New Orleans's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

**Uses and Sources of Capital**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy New Orleans's uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

Entergy New Orleans's receivables from the money pool were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **March 31, <br>2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** | **March 31, <br>2025** | **December 31, <br>2024** |
| (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) |
| $5279 | $9009 | $2549 | $3146 |

---

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.

Entergy New Orleans has a credit facility in the amount of $25 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $10 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were no cash borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy New Orleans is a party to an uncommitted letter of credit facility as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2026, a $0.5 million letter of credit was outstanding under Entergy New Orleans's uncommitted letter of credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>State and Local Rate Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation. The following are updates to that discussion.

**Retail Rates**

<u>2026 Formula Rate Plan Filing</u>

In April 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council its formula rate plan 2025 test year filing. The 2025 evaluation report produced an earned return on equity of 7.55% compared to the authorized return on equity of 9.35%. Without adjustments, this would result in an increase in rates of $16.6 million. The increase in rates is driven, in part, by an increase in plant in service, as well as the cost of known and measurable capital additions. The increase is also driven by a decrease in total revenues due to a decline in kWh sales. The filing is subject to a 75-day review and discovery period followed by a 25-day period to resolve any disputes among the parties. For any disputed items, the City Council would set a procedural schedule to resolve such disputes. Resulting rates will be effective with the first billing cycle of September 2026 pursuant to the formula rate plan tariff.

**Distributed Energy Resource Program**

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2024 the City Council opened a docket to evaluate potential opportunities to increase the availability of distributed energy resources, battery storage, and related facilities in New Orleans. In December 2025 the City Council issued a resolution establishing a distributed energy resources program to be implemented and operated under the existing Energy Smart program, with $28 million in customer incentives available through credits funded by the settlement between System Energy and the City Council. In March 2026, Entergy New Orleans submitted to the City Council a proposed battery storage implementation plan for new residential and commercial battery systems that would phase such implementation over a three-year period beginning in 2026, with those systems participating in Energy Smart for seven additional years, as required by the City Council. Program costs will be offset by credits from the System Energy settlement, with no incremental impact on customer rates. An intervenor in the proceeding has challenged the plan submitted by Entergy New Orleans and seeks additional incentives for customers, including accelerated use of the credits. See "**<u>Complaints Against System Energy</u> - System Energy Settlement with the City Council**" in Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the System Energy settlement with the City Council.

**ENTERGY TEXAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income increased $6.6 million primarily due to higher retail electric price partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses.

**Operating Revenues**

Following is an analysis of the change in operating revenues comparing the first quarter 2026 to the first quarter 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **Amount** |
| | (In Millions) |
| 2025 operating revenues | $441.9 |
| Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income | 48.7 |
| Retail electric price | 11.9 |
| Volume/weather | 1.0 |
| **2026 operating revenues** | **$503.5** |

---

Entergy Texas's results include revenues from rate mechanisms designed to recover fuel, purchased power, and other costs such that the revenues and expenses associated with these items generally offset and do not affect net income. "Fuel, rider, and other revenues that do not significantly affect net income" includes the revenue variance associated with these items.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to increases in the distribution cost recovery factor rider effective June 2025 and December 2025. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the distribution cost recovery factor rider filings.

The volume/weather variance is primarily due to an increase in industrial usage substantially offset by the effect of less favorable weather on residential sales. The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the transportation and agricultural and other chemicals industries, and an increase in demand from co-generation customers.

Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

Total electric energy sales for Entergy Texas for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2026** | **2025** | **% Change** |
| | (GWh) | (GWh) | |
| Residential | 1432 | 1559 | (8) |
| Commercial | 1137 | 1110 | 2 |
| Industrial | 2540 | 2160 | 18 |
| Governmental | 68 | 63 | 8 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total retail | 5177 | 4892 | 6 |
| Sales for resale: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-associated companies | 132 | 52 | 154 |
| Total | 5309 | 4944 | 7 |

---

See Note 12 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of Entergy Texas's operating revenues.

**Other Income Statement Variances**

Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to an increase of $0.7 million in legal expenses associated with various regulatory proceedings and several individually insignificant items.

<u>I</u><u>ncome Taxes</u>

The effective income tax rates were 16.3% for the first quarter 2026 and 15.6% for the first quarter 2025. The differences in the effective income tax rates for the first quarter 2026 and the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% were primarily due to book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

**<u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Income Tax Legislation and Regulation</u>**" in the Form 10-K for discussion of income tax legislation and regulation.

**<u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

**Cash Flow**

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers and the timing of recovery of fuel and purchased power costs. The increase was partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments and the timing of payments to vendors. See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased $172.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $84.4 million in transmission construction expenditures primarily due to decreased spending on various transmission projects in 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $77.3 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to lower spending on the Orange County Advanced Power Station project in 2026 and lower spending on the Legend Power Station project as a result of the sale of assets related to the in-process project in December 2025. See Note 8 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the Entergy Texas build-to-suit lease arrangement for the Legend Power Station; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• money pool activity.

Increases in Entergy Texas's receivable from the money pool are a use of cash flow, and Entergy Texas's receivable from the money pool increased $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to increasing by $36.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The money pool is an intercompany cash management program that makes possible intercompany borrowing and lending arrangements, and the money pool and other borrowing arrangements are designed to reduce the Registrant Subsidiaries' dependence on external short-term borrowings.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by financing activities decreased $135.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the issuance of $500 million of 5.25% Series mortgage bonds in February 2025, partially offset by a capital contribution of $365 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026 in order to maintain Entergy Texas's capital structure and in anticipation of various capital expenditures. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein and Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for more details on long-term debt.

Entergy Texas, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

**Capital Structure**

Entergy Texas's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The decrease in the debt to capital ratio for Entergy Texas is primarily due to a capital contribution of $365 million received from Entergy Corporation in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 48.2% | 50.9% |
| Effect of excluding securitization bonds | (1.4%) | (1.4%) |
| Debt to capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 46.8% | 49.5% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | (2.9%) | (1.9%) |
| Net debt to net capital, excluding securitization bonds (non-GAAP) (a) | 43.9% | 47.6% |

---

(a)Calculation excludes the securitization bonds, which are non-recourse to Entergy Texas.

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of finance lease obligations and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. The debt to capital ratio excluding securitization bonds and net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds are non-GAAP measures. Entergy Texas uses the debt to capital ratios excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes they provide useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Texas's financial condition because the securitization bonds are non-recourse to Entergy Texas, as more fully described in Note 5 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K. Entergy Texas also uses the net debt to net capital ratio excluding securitization bonds in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating Entergy Texas's financial condition because net debt indicates Entergy Texas's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

**Uses and Sources of Capital**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of Entergy Texas's uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

Entergy Texas's receivables from the money pool were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** | **March 31, 2025** | **December 31, <br>2024** |
| (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) | (In Thousands) |
| $33216 | $22467 | $54681 | $18504 |

---

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.

Entergy Texas has a credit facility in the amount of $300 million scheduled to expire in June 2030. The credit facility includes fronting commitments for the issuance of letters of credit against $25 million of the borrowing capacity of the facility. As of March 31, 2026, there were no cash borrowings and $1.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility. In addition, Entergy Texas is a party to two uncommitted letter of credit facilities as a means to post collateral to support its obligations to MISO. As of March 31, 2026, $104.4 million in letters of credit were outstanding under one of Entergy Texas's uncommitted letter of credit facilities. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the credit facilities.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

**<u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>State and Local Rate Regulation and Fuel-Cost Recovery</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of state and local rate regulation and fuel-cost recovery. The following are updates to that discussion.

**Retail Rates**

<u>Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF) Rider</u>

In April 2026, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its DCRF rider. The proposed rider is designed to collect from Entergy Texas's retail customers approximately $112.5 million annually, or $20.4 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas's currently effective DCRF rider based on its capital invested in distribution between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025.

<u>Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF) Rider</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in October 2025, Entergy Texas filed with the PUCT a request to amend its TCRF rider. The amended rider was designed to collect from Entergy Texas's retail customers approximately $30.3 million annually, or $20.6 million in incremental annual revenues beyond Entergy Texas's then-effective TCRF rider based on its capital invested in transmission between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and changes in other transmission charges. In April 2026 the PUCT approved the TCRF rider, consistent with Entergy Texas's as-filed request, and rates became effective for usage on and after April 6, 2026.

<u>Generation Cost Recovery Rider</u>

In March 2026, Entergy Texas filed an application to establish a generation cost recovery rider to begin recovering a return of and on its capital investment in the Orange County Advanced Power Station. The proposed generation cost recovery rider, which includes Entergy Texas's capital invested in generation for the Orange County Advanced Power Station through December 31, 2025, is designed to collect approximately $150.4 million annually from Entergy Texas's retail customers. By statute, the proposed generation cost recovery rider rates are to become effective when the Orange County Advanced Power Station is placed into service, which is expected in third quarter 2026.

**SYSTEM ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.**

**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

System Energy's principal asset consists of an ownership interest and a leasehold interest in Grand Gulf. The capacity and energy from its 90% interest is sold under the Unit Power Sales Agreement to its only three customers, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Mississippi, and Entergy New Orleans. System Energy's operating revenues are derived from the allocation of the capacity, energy, and related costs associated with its 90% interest in Grand Gulf pursuant to the Unit Power Sales Agreement. Payments under the Unit Power Sales Agreement are System Energy's only source of operating revenues.

**<u>Results of Operations</u>**

**Net Income**

Net income remained relatively flat, decreasing by $0.4 million, for the first quarter 2026 compared to the first quarter 2025.

**Income Taxes**

The effective income tax rate was 15.9% for the first quarter 2026. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2026 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to book and tax differences related to utility plant items and book and tax differences related to the allowance for equity funds used during construction, partially offset by the accrual for state income taxes.

The effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the first quarter 2025. The difference in the effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2025 versus the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the accrual for state income taxes, partially offset by book and tax differences related to utility plant items.

Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis

<u>Operating Activities</u>

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to higher collections from customers, partially offset by an increase of $17.9 million in spending on nuclear refueling outage costs in 2026 as compared to 2025.

<u>Investing Activities</u>

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $150.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to net purchases of $106.3 million in 2026 compared to net proceeds of $11.6 million in 2025 as a result of fluctuations in nuclear fuel activity due to variations from year to year in the timing and pricing of fuel reload requirements, material and services deliveries, and the timing of cash payments during the nuclear fuel cycle and an increase of $33.6 million in nuclear construction expenditures primarily due to higher spending in 2026 on Grand Gulf outage projects and upgrades.

<u>Financing Activities</u>

System Energy's financing activities provided $104.3 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to using $49 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to the following activity:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the issuance of $80 million of 5.28% Series L notes by the System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity in January 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• net long-term borrowings of $24.9 million in 2026 compared to net repayments of $13.8 million in 2025 on the nuclear fuel company variable interest entity's credit facility; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the payment of $35 million in common stock dividends and distributions in 2025 in order to maintain System Energy's capital structure. No common stock dividends or distributions were paid in 2026.

**Capital Structure**

System Energy's debt to capital ratio is shown in the following table. The increase in the debt to capital ratio for System Energy is primarily due to the net issuance of long-term debt in 2026.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, <br>2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** |
| Debt to capital | 54.9% | 53.1% |
| Effect of subtracting cash | —% | —% |
| Net debt to net capital (non-GAAP) | 54.9% | 53.1% |

---

Net debt consists of debt less cash and cash equivalents. Debt consists of short-term borrowings and long-term debt, including the currently maturing portion. Capital consists of debt and common equity. Net capital consists of capital less cash and cash equivalents. System Energy uses the debt to capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating System Energy's financial condition. The net debt to net capital ratio is a non-GAAP measure. System Energy uses the net debt to net capital ratio in analyzing its financial condition and believes it provides useful information to its investors and creditors in evaluating System Energy's financial condition because net debt indicates System Energy's outstanding debt position that could not be readily satisfied by cash and cash equivalents on hand.

**Uses and Sources of Capital**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of System Energy's uses and sources of capital. The following are updates to the information provided in the Form 10-K.

System Energy's receivables from or (payables to) the money pool were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **March 31, <br>2026** | **December 31, <br>2025** | **March 31, <br>2025** | **December 31,<br>2024** |

See Note 4 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a description of the money pool.

The System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity has a credit facility in the amount of $120 million scheduled to expire in June 2027. As of March 31, 2026, $61.3 million in loans were outstanding under the System Energy nuclear fuel company variable interest entity credit facility. See Note 4 to the financial statements herein for additional discussion of the variable interest entity credit facility.

**<u>Federal Regulation</u>**

See the "**<u>Rate, Cost-recovery, and Other Regulation</u>** - **Federal Regulation**" section of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries Management's Financial Discussion and Analysis in the Form 10-K and Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of federal regulation.

**<u>Nuclear Matters</u>**

See "**MANAGEMENT'S FINANCIAL DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS – <u>Nuclear Matters</u>**" in the Form 10-K for a discussion of nuclear matters. The following is an update to that discussion.

**Nuclear Reactor Oversight Process**

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. Grand Gulf is currently in Column 1.

In March 2026 the NRC issued an inspection report for Grand Gulf, in which it identified a preliminary "white" finding with "low safety significance" related to one of Grand Gulf's emergency diesel generators. The NRC is continuing its evaluation of the issue and is expected to complete its determination during second quarter 2026. If the NRC's review results in a final white finding, Grand Gulf would be placed in Column 2 and would remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.

In accordance with Entergy's stock-based compensation plans, Entergy periodically grants stock options to key employees, which may be exercised to obtain shares of Entergy's common stock. According to the plans, these shares can be newly issued shares, treasury stock, or shares purchased on the open market. Entergy's management has been authorized by the Board to repurchase on the open market shares up to an amount sufficient to fund the exercise of grants under the plans. In addition to this authority, the Board has authorized share repurchase programs to enable opportunistic purchases in response to market conditions. In October 2010 the Board granted authority for a $500 million share repurchase program. The amount of share repurchases under these programs may vary as a result of material changes in business results or capital spending or new investment opportunities. In addition, in the first quarter 2026, Entergy withheld 88,415 shares of its common stock at $93.19 per share, 72,452 shares of its common stock at $94.97 per share, 217,131 shares of its common stock at $95.67 per share, 56,436 shares of its common stock at $97.96 per share to pay income taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock granted and payout of performance units as part of its long-term incentive program.

(1)See Note 12 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for additional discussion of the stock-based compensation plans.

(2)Maximum amount of shares that may yet be repurchased relates only to the $500 million share repurchase program plan and does not include an estimate of the amount of shares that may be purchased to fund the exercise of grants under the stock-based compensation plans.

**<u>Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry</u>**

The following is an update to the "**Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry**" section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

<u>NRC Reactor Oversight Process</u>

The NRC's Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC's inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: "licensee response column," or Column 1, "regulatory response column," or Column 2, "degraded cornerstone column," or Column 3, "multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column," or Column 4, and "unacceptable performance," or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4de6789223a64a1d9606ed88687de69c_7)</u>

associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. All of the nuclear generating plants owned and operated by Entergy's Utility business are currently in Column 1.

In March 2026 the NRC issued an inspection report for Grand Gulf, in which it identified a preliminary "white" finding with "low safety significance" related to one of Grand Gulf's emergency diesel generators. The NRC is continuing its evaluation of the issue and is expected to complete its determination during second quarter 2026. If the NRC's review results in a final white finding, Grand Gulf would be placed in Column 2 and would remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.

**<u>Environmental Regulation</u>**

The following is an update to the "**Environmental Regulation**" section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

<u>Coal Combustion Residuals</u>

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in April 2015 the EPA published the final coal combustion residuals (CCR) rule (2015 CCR Rule) regulating CCRs destined for disposal in landfills or surface impoundments as non-hazardous wastes regulated under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle D. The final regulations created new compliance requirements including modified storage, new notification and reporting practices, product disposal considerations, and CCR unit closure criteria but excluded CCRs that are beneficially reused in certain processes. Entergy believes that on-site disposal options will be available at its facilities, to the extent needed.

In May 2024 the EPA finalized a rule (2024 CCR Rule) establishing management standards for legacy CCR surface impoundments (i.e., inactive surface impoundments at inactive power plants) and establishing a new class of units referred to as CCR management units (CCRMUs) (i.e., non-containerized CCR located at a regulated CCR facility). CCR utilized in roadbeds and embankments is excluded from the CCRMU definition. Entergy does not have any legacy impoundments; however, the definition of CCRMUs includes on-site areas where CCR was beneficially used. This is contrary to the 2015 CCR Rule which exempted beneficial uses that met certain criteria. Under this expanded rule, all facilities were required to identify and delineate any CCRMU greater than one ton and submit a facility evaluation report by February 2026. Any potential requirements for corrective action or operational changes under the 2015 CCR Rule and the 2024 CCR Rule continue to be assessed. Notably, ongoing litigation has resulted in the EPA's continuing review of the rules. In February 2026, as part of its stated deregulatory agenda, the EPA finalized a rule extending various deadlines, including the facility evaluation report Parts 1 and 2 deadlines by one year, until February 2027 and February 2028, respectively. Additional deregulatory rulemaking is expected in 2026.

**Stock Option Agreement- Alternative Retirement Vesting ("<u>Agreement</u>")** 

**Under the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan**

The Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors ("<u>Committee</u>") of Entergy Corporation has agreed to grant you ("<u>you</u>" or "<u>Grantee</u>"), pursuant to the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>"), a nonstatutory stock option (the "<u>Option</u>") to purchase that number of Shares set forth on the Stock Option Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "<u>Grant Notice</u>") at the Exercise Price set forth as the award price on the Grant Notice, subject to the Plan and the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Grant Date; Acknowledgement and Acceptance</u>. This Option grant is effective as of the award date set forth on the Grant Notice (the "<u>Grant Date</u>"), contingent upon your acceptance of this Option in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Grant Notice. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to your electronically acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions and the terms of the Plan in the manner and at the time set forth on the Grant Notice. If you do not timely acknowledge and accept this Agreement in accordance with the Grant Notice, the Company shall be entitled to unilaterally cancel and render void this Agreement and the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Option Term</u>. The term of the Option (the "<u>Option Term</u>") shall commence on the Grant Date and, unless the Option is previously terminated pursuant to the Plan or this Agreement, shall terminate upon the expiration of ten years from the Grant Date. Unless earlier terminated or forfeited, upon expiration of the Option Term, all of your rights under the Plan and this Agreement with respect to the Option shall terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Vesting</u>. The Option shall vest and become exercisable as to one-third (1/3) of the Shares subject to the Option on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date (each such anniversary a "<u>Vesting Date</u>"), subject to the terms of Section 5 and the Plan; provided, that in order for the portion of the Option to vest that is scheduled to become vested on each such Vesting Date, through each such Vesting Date you comply with Section 9 of this Agreement and you remain either (a) a continuous full-time regular employee of a System Company or (b) a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the phased retirement program under the Entergy System Policies & Procedures Phased Retirement - Pre-Separation Policy (the "<u>Phased Retirement Program</u>"), unless otherwise provided in Section 5 of this Agreement. There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date set forth above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Option Exercise</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Method of Exercise</u>. You may exercise the vested portion of the Option by one of the methods approved by the Committee in connection with the grant of this Option. You can determine the permissible methods of exercise by contacting the recordkeeper with the contact information made available to you from time to time. You will be required to choose from one of the payment methods made available by the Committee for exercising the Options, which method shall also

------

provide for the payment by you of all applicable income tax and employment tax amounts required to be withheld in connection with such exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Limitations on Sale</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4(a) above or in the general description of exercise alternatives, as a Participant with System Management Level ("<u>ML</u>") 1-4 status ("<u>ML 1-4 Participant</u>"), you must maintain the applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level reflected in the chart below, which level is expressed as a multiple of your base salary and is based on your <u>ML</u>.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>System Management Level</u> | <u>Common Stock Ownership Target Level</u> |
| ML1 | 6 times base salary |
| ML2 | 3 times base salary |
| ML3 | 2 times base salary |
| ML4 | 1 times base salary |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These ownership multiples may be satisfied through any shares of Common Stock held by you, including, but not limited to, Restricted Shares on which restrictions have not yet lifted and shares of Common Stock held in tax-qualified 401(k) plans. Until you achieve your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, you must continue to retain at least that number of Shares equal to 75% of your After-Tax Net Profit (as defined below) from the exercise of the Option divided by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the exercise date, rounded down to the nearest whole number, until the earlier of (a) achieving and maintaining your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, or (b) your termination of full-time employment (or part-time employment under the Phased Retirement Program) with all System Companies.

For purposes of this Section 4, "<u>After-Tax Net Profit</u>" means the total Fair Market Value of the Shares that you elect to acquire by exercise under this Option, determined as of the date of exercise, minus the total of (i) the Exercise Price for these Shares, and (ii) the amount of all applicable federal, state and local income tax, employment tax, other tax withholding and other fees that must be withheld in connection with the exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Option</u>. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or the Plan, if your full-time System Company employment or part-time System Company employment under the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable, should terminate prior to the expiration of ten years from the Grant Date, you, or your designated beneficiary or heirs, as applicable, shall have only the following periods of time ("<u>Remaining Exercise Period</u>"), as specified below, and such additional periods of time, if any, that the Committee may designate in its sole discretion, to exercise the Option, to the extent vested at the time your employment terminates:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you die while actively employed with a System Company, any unvested portion of the Option will immediately vest, and the Remaining Exercise Period for your designated beneficiary or heirs, as applicable, shall end on the earlier of (i) the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the date of your death or (ii) the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your employment terminates due to Disability, any unvested portion of the Option shall immediately vest, and the Remaining Exercise Period shall end on the earlier of (i) the fifth

------

(5<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the date of such termination of employment or (ii) the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you Retire (as defined below) before you have attained age 60 and completed at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service (as defined below), any unvested portion of the Option shall continue to vest pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof after you Retire as if your System Company employment had continued through each applicable Vesting Date, and the Remaining Exercise Period shall end on the earlier of (i) the fifth (5<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the date you Retire or (ii) the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date. If you Retire on or after the date you have attained age 60 and completed at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service, any unvested portion of the Option shall continue to vest pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof after you Retire as if your System Company employment had continued through each applicable Vesting Date, and the Remaining Exercise Period shall end on the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date. For purposes of this subsection 5(c), "<u>Retire</u>" means you incur a separation from service with all System Companies and at the time of such separation from service either (A) you are eligible to commence retirement benefits under a final average pay defined benefit pension formula under a System Company-sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan, (B) you have attained age 65, or (C) you have attained age 55 with at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service; and "<u>Vesting Service</u>" means vesting service under the System Company sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan in which you actively participate or, if none, under the System Company sponsored qualified defined contribution pension plan in which you actively participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if your employment with your System Company employer terminates for Cause, or the Committee or its delegee determines that you engaged in an activity that would constitute Cause, then both the vested and unvested portions of the Option shall immediately terminate, and the Exercise Period shall immediately end.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If your full-time System Company employment or part-time System Company employment under the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable, terminates for any other reason not set forth in Subsections 5(a), (b), (c) or (d) above, any unvested portion of the Option will terminate, and the Remaining Exercise Period for the vested portion of the Option shall end on the earlier of (i) the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Grant Date or (ii) the date that is ninety (90) days following your last date of System Company employment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided below for an employee on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, if you are approved by your System Company employer for a leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) for reasons other than Disability or you are a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the Phased Retirement Program, your Option, to the extent not fully vested, will continue to vest while you remain on the approved leave of absence or during such participation in the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable, upon each anniversary of the Grant Date in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 hereof. If your System Company employment terminates during such approved leave period, the Remaining Exercise Period for your vested Option, if any, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Subsections 5(a) through (e) above, depending upon the reason for such termination. If you are on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, you will not be considered under the Plan or this Agreement to be a full-time or eligible part-time System Company employee under the Phased Retirement Program during the extended leave of absence bridge

------

period, and your System Company employment will be considered terminated for purposes of vesting in Options under this Agreement as of the commencement of your extended leave of absence bridge period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Accelerated Change in Control Vesting</u>. Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 3 or 5 hereof to the contrary, in the event that (A) a Change in Control occurs and (B) either (i) outstanding Options are not assumed or substituted in connection therewith as described in Section 12(b) of the Plan, or (ii) outstanding Options are so assumed or substituted in connection therewith and your employment or service is terminated by your System Company employer without Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control, then the Options shall immediately become fully vested and the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 9(b), (c) and (d) of this Agreement shall cease to apply as of the date of the Change in Control, if subclause (i) applies, or as of the applicable termination date, if subclause (ii) applies, and any such vested and exercisable Option may be exercised within the remaining term of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Entergy Policies.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Hedging Policy</u>. Pursuant to the Entergy Corporation Policy Relating to Hedging, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on December 3, 2010, and as in effect on the date hereof, officers, directors and employees are prohibited from entering into hedging or monetization transactions involving Common Stock so they continue to own Common Stock with the full risks and rewards of ownership, thereby ensuring continued alignment of their objectives with the Company's other shareholders. Participation in any hedging transaction with respect to Common Stock (including Options) is prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Recoupment Policy; Dodd-Frank; Payment in Error</u>. The Option and any Shares received upon exercise thereof are subject to forfeiture and recovery by the Company pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation (i) any policy that the Company has adopted or may adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, including the Entergy System Policy Regarding Recoupment of Certain Compensation, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2023, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof ("Recoupment Policy"), (ii) the Entergy System Discretionary Recoupment Policy Regarding Detrimental Conduct ("Detrimental Conduct Policy"), as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on January 26, 2024, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) pursuant to the Recoupment Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of certain incentive compensation from "executive officers," as defined in the Recoupment Policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws; or there is a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation, regardless of whether the Company's financial statements are restated; or the Board determines that an executive officer engaged in fraud resulting in either a restatement of the Company's financial statements or a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation whether or not the financial statements were restated, and (B) pursuant to the Detrimental Conduct Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of incentive compensation from any ML 1-4 officer who engages in certain detrimental conduct, including commission of a felony or other crime that affects the officer's ability to perform their duties; fraud in contravention of the officer's duties to the enterprise; unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of an Entergy System company or material violation of a material written Entergy System company policy or material agreement between the officer and an Entergy System company in either case that results in, or could have resulted in, termination for Cause or

------

that results in significant financial or operational loss, or significant reputational harm to the Company; and any other conduct that the officer knew or should have known could result in termination for Cause (regardless of whether it does) and that results in significant financial or operational loss or significant reputational harm to the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that a payment is made to you (whether in cash, stock or other property) in error that exceeds the amount to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, including without limitation pursuant to Section 28 of the Plan (such excess amount, an "<u>Excess Payment</u>"), you will repay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to recoup from you such Excess Payment by notifying you in writing of the nature and amount of such Excess Payment together with (i) demand for direct repayment to the Company by you in the amount of such Excess Payment or (ii) reduction of any amount(s) owed to you by the Company or any other System Company by the amount of the Excess Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Insider Trading Policy</u>. All ML 1-4 Participants are considered "Restricted Employees" under the Entergy System Insider Trading Policy. As a Restricted Employee, you may trade in Entergy Corporation securities only during an open window period (and only if you are not in possession of material, non-public information). Generally, window periods begin on the second business day after the quarterly earnings release and end at the close of trading on the 15th day of the third month of the Company's fiscal quarter or, if such day is not a trading day, on the last preceding trading day. In addition, if you are a Restricted Employee, the Insider Trading Policy requires that you pre-clear all transactions involving Entergy Corporation securities with Entergy Corporation's Office of the General Counsel. All exercises of the Option and transactions in the underlying Common Stock must be made in compliance with the Insider Trading Policy as in effect at such time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Option Nontransferable</u>. This Option may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, hypothecated or disposed of by you (or your designated beneficiary) other than by will or laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio. During your lifetime, this Option may be exercised only by you or your guardian or legal representative, if applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants</u>. In consideration of the grant to you of the Option set forth herein, you hereby agree to the following restrictive covenants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Confidential Information</u>. You acknowledge that the System Companies have unique methods and processes for the generation, transmission and distribution and sale of energy and energy-related products, which give the System Companies a competitive advantage, including strategic and non-public plans for their products, geographic and customer markets, and for marketing, distributing and selling their products. You further acknowledge that you have held a position of confidence and trust with respect to the System Companies and that you have and will acquire additional detailed knowledge of the System Companies' unique and confidential methods of doing business and plans for the future. You acknowledge that the System Companies are expending and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money and effort to develop effective business and regulatory strategies, methodologies and technology. You also acknowledge that the System Companies have a compelling business interest in protecting the System Companies' Confidential Information (as defined below) and that the System Companies would be seriously and irreparably damaged by the improper disclosure of Confidential Information. You therefore agree that, during your employment or other service with any System Company and at all times thereafter, you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the System Companies and, other than as authorized in writing by the General Counsel of the Company or as required by law, or in the proper performance of your duties and responsibilities, or as otherwise provided in this

------

Section 9, you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, or use, any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the furtherance of your responsibilities to any System Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Confidential Information</u>" means information that is not generally known by persons outside the System Companies and could not easily be determined or learned by someone outside the System Companies, including without limitation, any and all information and knowledge, whether or not explicitly designated as confidential and whether or not reduced to writing, regarding the System Companies' business, including, without limitation, (i) the generation, transmission, brokering, marketing, distribution, sale and delivery of electric power or natural gas (through regulated utilities or otherwise), (ii) the System Companies' ownership, development, management or operation of power plants and power generation facilities (including, without limitation, nuclear power plants), and the provision of operations and management services (including, without limitation, decommissioning services) with respect to power plants, and the sale of the electric power produced by the System Companies' operating plants to wholesale customers, (iii) the System Companies' proprietary methods and methodology, technical data, trade secrets, know-how, research and development information, product plans, customer lists, specific information relating to products, services and customers or prospective customers (including, but not limited to, customers or prospective customers of any System Company with whom you became or become acquainted during your relationship with any System Company), books and records of any System Company, corporate, regulatory, customer and strategic relationships, suppliers, markets, computer software, computer software development, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs, drawings, technical information, source codes, engineering information, hardware configuration information, and matters of a business nature such as information regarding marketing, costs, pricing, finances, financial models and projections, billings, new or existing business or economic development plans, initiatives, and opportunities, or any other similar business information made available to you prior to or during your employment with a System Company or otherwise in connection with your relationship with any System Company and (iv) any attorney-client privileged information of a System Company. Confidential Information shall also include non-public information concerning any director, officer, employee, shareholder, or partner of any System Company. You agree that your obligation not to disclose or use Confidential Information, and your obligation, detailed below in this Section 9, to return and not to retain materials and tangible property, upon your termination of employment with all System Companies, shall also extend to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of and suppliers to the System Companies and to other third parties, in each case who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to you or to any System Company during your employment with any System Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Competition</u>. You agree that (i) at all times during the period of your employment or service with any System Company employer, and (ii) for one (1) year following the termination for any reason of your employment by or service with your last System Company employer ((i) and (ii) collectively, as applicable, the "<u>Non-Compete Period</u>"), you will not engage in Competing Employment. For purposes of this Section 9, "<u>Competing Employment</u>" means working for, providing services to or otherwise directly or indirectly assisting (whether or not for compensation) any person, entity or business which directly or indirectly competes with any part of the System Company business, and such employment or services involve products, services and business activities that are the same as or similar to those you provided to a System Company, or as to which you had access to Confidential Information while employed by any System Company or, with respect to that part of the Non-Compete Period described in subsection 9(b)(ii), in the two years preceding your termination of employment or service with all System Companies. You agree that it is reasonable for the restriction contained in this paragraph to apply in each and every county, province, state, city, parish or other political subdivision or territory of the United States in which any System Company engages in any business activity, or otherwise distributes, licenses or sells its products or services, including, without limitation, Arkansas,

------

District of Columbia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and any other state in which any System Company engages in business at any time and, with respect to the State of Louisiana, means the following Parishes: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Grant, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, La Salle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, Point Coupee, Red River, Richland, Sabine, Saint Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, Saint James, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Landry, Saint Martin, Saint Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Union, Vermilion, Vernon, Washington, Webster, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll, West Feliciana and Winn (collectively, the "<u>Restricted Territory</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated by any System Company employer without Cause, the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 9(b) shall apply only for as long as the System Company employer continues to pay you, in accordance with the System Company employer's regular payroll practices and schedule, your bi-weekly base salary in effect on the effective date of the termination of your employment, less any applicable tax withholdings and ordinary deductions (such payments, the "<u>Non-Compete Payments</u>"), but in no such event for longer than the Non-Compete Period. In any instance where a System Company employer has the right to elect to make Non-Compete Payments, such System Company employer must notify you in writing of such election, and the duration for which it elects to make Non-Compete Payments, within ten (10) business days following the termination of your employment from all System Company employment. If the System Company Employer elects to make the Non-Compete Payments for less than the full Non-Compete Period, you shall be free to join a competitor after you cease receiving the Non-Compete Payments. For purposes of clarity, in the event of your termination for Cause or voluntary resignation, you shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9(b) without any requirement that any System Company employer pay you any Non-Compete Payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference</u>. You agree that, until the later of the end of the Non-Compete Period or the last day you are scheduled to receive cash severance payments from your System Company employer pursuant to any severance plan or other agreement, except in the good faith performance of your duties to the System Companies, you shall not, other than as authorized in writing by the General Counsel of the Company: (i) directly or indirectly, solicit or seek to hire or identify for potential hiring (whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person, entity or organization) any person who is at that time (or was during the prior six (6) months) an employee or consultant of any System Company, or (ii) within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly solicit the trade, business or patronage of any clients, customers or vendors or prospective clients, customers or vendors of any System Company to provide competing products or services or advise, or assist such clients, customers or vendors or prospective clients, customers or vendors to in any way modify their relationship with any System Company. This Section 9 (c) shall not be violated by general advertising not targeted at the forgoing persons or entities. The non-solicitation covenant in subsection 9(c)(i) shall not apply to solicitation of persons involuntarily terminated from System Company employment and shall only apply to persons (A) who reported directly or indirectly to you; (B) with whom you had material contact while at a System Company; or (C) about whom or which you possessed (1) information regarding quality of performance while they were employed by or performing services for a System Company, which information you would not otherwise have except for the position you held with a System Company, or (2) Confidential Information. You further agree that while you are employed by any System Company and thereafter until the later of the end of the Non-Compete Period or the last day you are scheduled to receive cash severance payments from your System Company, you will not, directly or indirectly, induce or encourage any third party, including any provider of goods or services to any System Company, to terminate or diminish its business relationship with any System Company; nor will you take any other action that could, directly or indirectly, be detrimental to any System Company's relationships with its

providers of goods or services or other business affiliates or that could otherwise interfere with any System Company's business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. You agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will not at any time (whether during or after your employment or service with any System Company), other than in the proper performance of your duties, publish or communicate to any person or entity any "Disparaging" (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning any System Company or, to the extent related to their service to any System Company, any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, or attorneys. "<u>Disparaging</u>" remarks, comments or statements are those that are intended to, or could be construed in a manner so as to, impugn, discredit, injure or impair the business, reputation, character, honesty, integrity, judgment, morality or business acumen or abilities of the individual or entity being disparaged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>System Company Property</u>. All tangible materials, equipment, devices, documents, copies of documents, data compilations (in whatever form), software programs, and electronically created or stored materials that you receive or create in the course of employment with a System Company are and shall remain the property of the System Company and you shall immediately return (and/or cooperate in the supervised deletion of) such property to your System Company employer upon the termination of your employment, for whatever reason. The obligation to return property and documents extends to anything received or made during and as a result of employment by a System Company, regardless of whether it was received from a System Company or a third party, such as an actual or potential vendor or customer, and regardless of whether a document contains Confidential Information. The only documents not subject to the obligation to return are documents directly relating to your compensation and benefits, such as your pay stubs and benefit plan information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Violation of the Restrictive Covenant Section</u>. In the event that you violate any provision of this Section 9, the time periods set forth in those paragraphs shall be extended for the period of time you remain in violation of the provisions, to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law. The provisions of Section 9(a) – (e) hereof are, and shall be construed as, independent covenants, and no claimed or actual breach of any contractual or legal duty by any System Company shall excuse or terminate your obligations hereunder or preclude any System Company from obtaining injunctive relief for your violation, or threatened violation, of any of those provisions. You also agree to indemnify and hold the System Companies harmless from any and all losses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred to enforce this Agreement) suffered by any System Company as a result of any violation or threatened violation of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in addition to any other remedies available to the System Companies set forth in Section 9(i) below), provided that a System Company is found to be the prevailing party in any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restrictive Covenants Contained in Other Agreements</u>. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that you are or become subject to any other agreement with a System Company that contains restrictive covenants different from the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, the restrictive covenants set forth in such other agreement shall supplement, and shall not replace, the restrictive covenants herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exclusions</u>. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 9 or in this Agreement to the contrary:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The restrictive covenants in this Section 9 are not intended to restrict you from cooperating with any investigation or proceeding initiated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("<u>NRC</u>") or any other federal or state regulatory agency. Further, you may make disclosure (A) to exercise your rights as a whistleblower under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 21F-17(a), or any other federal or state law providing whistleblower rights; (B) to the extent necessary when providing safety-related or other information to the NRC on matters within the NRC's regulatory jurisdiction; (C) when participating in "protected activities," as defined in Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 and in 10 C.F.R. Part 50.7; (D) when engaging in activities protected by the National Labor Relations Act or any similar federal or state law; or (E) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency or administrative or legislative body with jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. With the exception of Confidential Information subject to the attorney-client privilege, you shall have no obligation to seek prior approval of any System Company or to inform any System Company of such disclosure. This Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate, without notice to any System Company, with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, or to collect a reward in connection with any whistleblower information provided to a government agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Defend Trade Secrets Act Immunity Notice.* Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, non-compliance with the disclosure provisions of this Agreement shall not subject you to criminal or civil liability under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a System Company trade secret: (A) in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney in confidence solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that any complaint or document containing the trade secret is filed under seal; or (C) to an attorney representing you in a lawsuit for retaliation by any System Company for reporting a suspected violation of law or to use the trade secret information in that court proceeding, provided that any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All applicable laws with regard to restrictive covenants (including those of the State of California) are incorporated by reference herein and shall be treated as a part of this Section 9. Accordingly, in the event of an inconsistency between any provision of this Section 9 and an applicable legal requirement, the applicable legal requirement shall apply and this Section 9 shall be interpreted to require only such restrictions as are permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Enforcement</u>. You hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 9 are reasonable with respect to their scope, duration, and geographical area. You further agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 9 do not and would not unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. If any court or other tribunal determines that any term or provision of Section 9 is overbroad or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, you and the Company hereby agree that such court or tribunal shall have the power and obligation to narrow or otherwise reform the unenforceable term or provision, including to delete, replace, or add specific words or phrases, but only to the narrowest extent necessary to render the provision valid and enforceable (provided that in no event shall the length of any restrictive covenant or its scope be extended or expanded), and this Agreement shall be fully enforceable as so modified. Your agreement to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement and the Company's agreement to grant the Award are mutually dependent consideration.

------

Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if (i) the enforceability of any material restriction applicable to you as provided for in this Section 9 is challenged and found unenforceable by a court or other tribunal or (ii) you breach any of the provisions of Section 9, then the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and, to the extent that you have exercised the Option in whole or in part, recover from you an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such exercise on the date of such exercise of the Option, less the aggregate exercise price thereof. This provision shall be construed as a return of consideration or ill-gotten gains due to the failure of your promises and consideration under the Agreement, and not as a liquidated damages clause. In addition, in the event of the Company's termination of this Agreement, you shall immediately forfeit all un-exercised Options. You further hereby agree that, in the event of a breach by you of any of the provisions of Sections 9(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company or a System Company may, in addition to and without prejudice to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and without having to demonstrate that money damages would be inadequate. You acknowledge (i) that you have carefully read this Agreement and have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Agreement, and you are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information of the System Companies and their relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners and (ii) that you are informed in writing hereby that you have a right to the advice of legal counsel and should consult with an attorney of your choice with regard to this Agreement, and you have been provided ample opportunity to seek out and consult with such counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Third Party Beneficiaries; Survival of Restrictive Covenants</u>. For purposes of this Section 9, "<u>Company</u>" shall include Entergy and all other System Companies. You and the Company agree that each System Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 9, and further agree that each System Company is entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 9 in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the terms of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force according to their respective terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Duty to Notify Prospective Employers of Restrictive Covenants</u>. In the twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment with your last System Company employer, in the event you seek or obtain employment or another business affiliation with any person or entity other than a System Company, you agree to notify the Company in writing, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, but in no event less than two weeks prior to your proposed commencement of employment, of the details of such employment or business affiliation. You also agree to show these restrictive covenant provisions to any prospective employer, and you consent to any System Company showing these provisions to any third party believed by a System Company to be a prospective or actual employer of you, or a receiver of services from you, and to insisting on your compliance with these terms. Your obligations under this Section 9(k) will expire on that date which is twelve months after the end of your employment with all System Companies (or, if later, the last date as of which you are scheduled to receive separation payments from any System Company pursuant to a severance plan or other agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Validity</u>. Except as specifically provided in Section 9(i) of this Agreement, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The Company will use the "net shares method" to satisfy any tax withholding obligation in respect of the Option, which means the Company will reduce the number of Shares otherwise payable to you upon exercise of the Option by the number of Shares with a value necessary to cover up to the maximum amount of such obligation in any applicable jurisdiction. In no event shall the Company or any other System Company have any liability to you for your individual income tax liability, for withholding or failing to withhold taxes, or for remitting or failing to remit taxes with respect to your income, including without limitation, in the event that you are subject to penalty tax or premium interest tax pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law/Court Proceedings</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state. Any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or with respect to this Agreement, its enforcement, breach, or interpretation, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and you and the Company hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and its appellate court, whether or not located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding. You and the Company hereby irrevocably waive (i) any objections which each may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, (ii) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) any right to a jury trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incorporation of Plan</u>. The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. Any capitalized term which is not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. If any terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly, unless the Plan allows for such modification of the Plan's terms by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendments</u>. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

Neither you nor any of your successors in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares subject to the Option until either (i) such Shares are credited to a separate book entry account in your name; or (ii) the date of issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)The RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) shall vest as to one-third (1/3) of the RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) on each of the first three (3) anniversaries of the Grant Date (each such anniversary a "<u>Vesting Date")</u>; provided, that in order for the RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) to vest that are scheduled to become vested on each such Vesting Date, through each such Vesting Date, (A) you comply with Section 10 of this Agreement, and (B) you remain either (I) a continuous full-time regular employee of a System Company or (II) a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the phased retirement program under the Entergy System Policies & Procedures Phased Retirement - Pre-Separation Policy (the "<u>Phased Retirement Program</u>") (hereinafter, the "<u>Vesting Criteria</u>").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)Unless solely attributable to your becoming a participant in the Phased Retirement Program, upon your termination of continuous full-time regular employment to become a part-time employee, or upon your demotion to a position below ML 6, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)If your System Company employment is terminated by you or by your System Company employer for any reason or no reason (including with or without Cause), or you otherwise fail to satisfy the Vesting Criteria, you shall forfeit all unvested RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)There shall be no proportionate or partial vesting in the periods prior to each Vesting Date, and all vesting shall occur only on the appropriate Vesting Date, provided you satisfy the Vesting Criteria through such Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Subsection 2(a) to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern to the extent applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If, prior to a Vesting Date, your employment terminates due to death or incurring a Disability while actively employed as an eligible System Company employee in accordance with the requirements set forth in Subsection 2(a)(i)(B)(I) and you have continuously satisfied the Vesting Criteria through the date of the termination of your employment due to your death or Disability, then you shall immediately vest in all unvested RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are demoted to a position below ML 6 and you thereafter remain a regular, full-time System Company employee until the immediately following Vesting Date, then you shall remain eligible to vest, upon such Vesting Date, in a pro-rated portion of the RSUs that are scheduled to become vested on such immediately following Vesting Date (and attributable Dividend Equivalents), which pro-rated vested portion of the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents shall be determined by multiplying (A) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days between (x) the immediately preceding Vesting Date or, if no Vesting Date has yet occurred, the Grant Date and (y) the date of your demotion, and the denominator of which shall be 365, times (B) that number of RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) that are scheduled to become vested on the immediately following Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided below for an employee on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, if you are on a leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) approved by your System Company employer for reasons other than Disability or you are a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the Phased Retirement Program, you will be treated, solely for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement, as continuing to satisfy the requirements of Subsection 2(a)(i)(B) while on such approved leave of absence or during such participation in the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable. If your System Company employment terminates during such approved leave of absence, the remaining provisions of this Section 2 shall apply as if you were actively employed by your System Company employer immediately prior to such termination event. If you are on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Plan Pay No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, you will not be considered under the Plan or this Agreement to be a full-time employee or part-time System Company employee under the Phased Retirement Program during the extended leave of absence bridge period, and your System Company employment will be considered terminated for purposes of vesting in the RSUs under this Agreement as of the commencement of your extended leave of absence bridge period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)Subject to the terms of this Agreement and Section 5 of the Plan, in the event that (A) a Change in Control occurs and (B) either (1) outstanding RSUs are not assumed or substituted in connection therewith as described in Section 12(b) of the Plan, or (2) outstanding RSUs are so assumed or substituted in connection therewith and your employment or service is terminated by your System Company employer without Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control, then you shall

------

immediately vest in all unvested RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) as of the date of the Change in Control, if subclause (B)(1) applies, or as of the applicable termination date, if subclause (B)(2) applies (whichever date so applies, the "<u>CIC Vesting Date</u>"), and the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 10(b), (c) and (d) of this Agreement shall cease to apply as of the CIC Vesting Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the time and form of any payment of any Shares to which you may be entitled pursuant to this Subsection 2(b)(iv) are subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 22 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)If you Retire (as defined below) on or after the date you have attained age 60 and completed at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service (as defined below), you shall continue to vest after you Retire in the RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in Subsection 2(a)(i) of this Agreement as if your System Company employment had continued through each applicable Vesting Date; provided you continue to satisfy the vesting criterion of Subsection 2(a)(i)(A) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Subsection 2(b)(v), "<u>Retire</u>" means you incur a separation from service with all System Companies and at the time of such separation from service either (A) you are eligible to commence retirement benefits under a final average pay defined benefit pension formula under a System Company-sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan, (B) you have attained age 65, or (C) you have attained age 55 with at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service; and "<u>Vesting Service</u>" means vesting service under the System Company sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan in which you actively participate or, if none, under the System Company sponsored qualified defined contribution pension plan in which you actively participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Share Issuance</u>. Upon your vesting in all or a portion of the RSUs, a separate book entry account in your name shall be credited with a number of Shares (less that number of Shares necessary to satisfy any tax withholding obligation under the net shares method described in Section 5) equal to the number of RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) in which you vest. Upon the crediting of vested Shares to a book entry account, such vested Shares shall be free of all restrictions except any that may be imposed by law, and you may treat the Shares in the same manner as all other shares of Common Stock owned by you, subject to the provisions of Section 4 below. All Participants with ML 1-4 status ("<u>ML 1-4 Participants</u>") are considered "Restricted Employees" under Entergy Corporation's Insider Trading Policy and, as such, may trade in Entergy Corporation securities only during an open window period (and only if not in possession of material, non-public information). Generally, window periods begin on the second business day after the quarterly earnings release and end at the close of trading on the 15th day of the third month of the Company's fiscal quarter or, if such day is not a trading day, on the last preceding trading day. In addition, if you are a Restricted Employee, the Insider Trading Policy requires that you pre-clear all transactions involving Entergy Corporation securities with Entergy Corporation's Office of the General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Common Stock Ownership Guidelines</u>. If you are an ML 1-4 Participant, you must maintain the applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level in the chart below, which is expressed as a multiple of your base salary and dependent on your ML.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| <u>System Management Level</u> | <u>Common Stock Ownership Target Level</u> |
| ML1 | 6 times base salary |
| ML2 | 3 times base salary |
| ML3 | 2 times base salary |
| ML4 | 1 times base salary |

---

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

These ownership multiples may be satisfied through any shares of Common Stock held by you, including, but not limited to, those Shares credited to your personal account upon the vesting of the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents and shares of Common Stock held in tax-qualified 401(k) plans, as well as by those Shares underlying unvested RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents. Until you achieve your multiple of base salary ownership position, upon your vesting in the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents, you must continue to retain the book entry Shares credited to your account upon the vesting of such RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents until the earlier of (a) achieving and maintaining your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, or (b) your termination of full-time employment with all System Companies. Once you have achieved and maintain your Common Stock Ownership Target Level, you are no longer bound to hold the Shares credited to your personal account upon the vesting of the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents. However, you are still subject to the trading restrictions and pre-clearance requirements in transacting in these Shares described in Section 3 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The Company shall use the "net shares method" to satisfy any tax withholding obligation, which means the Company shall reduce the number of Shares otherwise payable to you in respect of RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents in which you vest by the number of Shares with a value necessary to cover up to the maximum amount of such obligation in any applicable jurisdiction. In no event shall the Company or any other System Company have any liability to you for your individual income tax liability, for withholding or failing to withhold taxes, or for remitting or failing to remit taxes with respect to your income, including without limitation, in the event that you are subject to penalty tax or premium interest tax pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>No Fractional Shares</u>. Any fractional Shares to be distributed shall be settled in cash and applied to satisfy tax withholding requirements based on their Fair Market Value. The Company will not deliver any fractional Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Rights as a Shareholder</u>. Neither you nor any of your successors in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents. However, you will have rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares that are credited to a book entry account in your name upon your vesting in RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>RSUs Nontransferable</u>. None of the RSUs or attributable Dividend Equivalents shall be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, hypothecated or disposed of by you (or your designated beneficiary) other than by will or laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported transfer shall be null and void ab initio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Entergy Policies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Hedging Policy</u>. Pursuant to the Entergy Corporation Policy Relating to Hedging, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on December 3, 2010, and as in effect on the date hereof, officers, directors and employees are prohibited from entering into hedging or monetization transactions involving Common Stock so they continue to own Common Stock with the full risks and rewards of ownership, thereby ensuring continued alignment of their objectives with the Company's other shareholders. Participation in any hedging transaction with respect to Common Stock (including Common Stock underlying RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents) is prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Recoupment Policy; Dodd-Frank; Payment in Error</u>. The RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents are subject to forfeiture and recovery by the Company pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation (i) any policy that the Company has adopted or may adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, including the Entergy System Policy Regarding Recoupment of Certain Compensation, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2023, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof ("Recoupment Policy"), (ii) the Entergy System Discretionary Recoupment Policy Regarding Detrimental Conduct ("Detrimental Conduct Policy"), as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on January 26, 2024, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) pursuant to the Recoupment Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of certain incentive compensation from "executive officers," as defined in the Recoupment Policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws; or there is a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation, regardless of whether the Company's financial statements are restated; or the Board determines that an executive officer engaged in fraud resulting in either a restatement of the Company's financial statements or a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation whether or not the financial statements were restated, and (B) pursuant to the Detrimental Conduct Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of incentive compensation from any ML 1-4 officer who engages in certain detrimental conduct, including commission of a felony or other crime that affects the officer's ability to perform their duties; fraud in contravention of the officer's duties to the enterprise; unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of an Entergy System company or material violation of a material written Entergy System company policy or material agreement between the officer and an Entergy System company in either case that results in, or could have resulted in, termination for Cause or that results in significant financial or operational loss, or significant reputational harm to the Company; and any other conduct that the officer knew or should have known could result in termination for Cause (regardless of whether it does) and that results in significant financial or operational loss or significant reputational harm to the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that a payment is made to you (whether in cash, stock or other property) in error that exceeds the amount to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, including without limitation pursuant to Section 28 of the Plan (such excess amount, an "<u>Excess Payment</u>"), you will repay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to recoup from you such Excess Payment by notifying you in writing of the nature and amount of such Excess Payment together with (i) demand for direct repayment to the Company by you in the amount of such Excess Payment or (ii) reduction of any amount(s) owed to you by the Company or any other System Company by the amount of the Excess Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenants</u>. In consideration of the grant to you of the RSUs set forth herein, you hereby agree to the following restrictive covenants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Confidential Information</u>. You acknowledge that the System Companies have unique methods and processes for the generation, transmission and distribution and sale of energy and energy-related products, which give the System Companies a competitive advantage, including strategic and non-public plans for their products, geographic and customer markets, and for marketing, distributing and selling their products. You further acknowledge that you have held a position of confidence and trust with respect to the System Companies and that you have and will acquire additional detailed knowledge of the System Companies' unique and confidential methods of doing business and plans for the future. You acknowledge that the System Companies are expending and will continue to expend substantial

------

amounts of time, money and effort to develop effective business and regulatory strategies, methodologies and technology. You also acknowledge that the System Companies have a compelling business interest in protecting the System Companies' Confidential Information (as defined below) and that the System Companies would be seriously and irreparably damaged by the improper disclosure of Confidential Information. You therefore agree that, during your employment or other service with any System Company and at all times thereafter, you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the System Companies and, other than as authorized in writing by the General Counsel of the Company or as required by law, or in the proper performance of your duties and responsibilities, or as otherwise provided in this Section 10, you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, or use, any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the furtherance of your responsibilities to any System Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Confidential Information</u>" means information that is not generally known by persons outside the System Companies and could not easily be determined or learned by someone outside the System Companies, including without limitation, any and all information and knowledge, whether or not explicitly designated as confidential and whether or not reduced to writing, regarding the System Companies' business, including, without limitation, (i) the generation, transmission, brokering, marketing, distribution, sale and delivery of electric power or natural gas (through regulated utilities or otherwise), (ii) the System Companies' ownership, development, management or operation of power plants and power generation facilities (including, without limitation, nuclear power plants), and the provision of operations and management services (including, without limitation, decommissioning services) with respect to power plants, and the sale of the electric power produced by the System Companies' operating plants to wholesale customers, (iii) the System Companies' proprietary methods and methodology, technical data, trade secrets, know-how, research and development information, product plans, customer lists, specific information relating to products, services and customers or prospective customers (including, but not limited to, customers or prospective customers of any System Company with whom you became or become acquainted during your relationship with any System Company), books and records of any System Company, corporate, regulatory, customer and strategic relationships, suppliers, markets, computer software, computer software development, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs, drawings, technical information, source codes, engineering information, hardware configuration information, and matters of a business nature such as information regarding marketing, costs, pricing, finances, financial models and projections, billings, new or existing business or economic development plans, initiatives, and opportunities, or any other similar business information made available to you prior to or during your employment with a System Company or otherwise in connection with your relationship with any System Company and (iv) any attorney-client privileged information of a System Company. Confidential Information shall also include non-public information concerning any director, officer, employee, shareholder, or partner of any System Company. You agree that your obligation not to disclose or use Confidential Information, and your obligation, detailed below in this Section 10, to return and not to retain materials and tangible property, upon your termination of employment with all System Companies, shall also extend to such types of information, materials and tangible property of customers of and suppliers to the System Companies and to other third parties, in each case who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to you or to any System Company during your employment with any System Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Competition</u>. You agree that (i) at all times during the period of your employment or service with any System Company employer, and (ii) if you are an ML 1-4 Participant immediately prior to your date of termination then for one (1) year following the termination for any reason of your employment by or service with your last System Company employer ((i) and (ii) collectively, as applicable, the "<u>Non-Compete Period</u>"), you will not engage in Competing Employment. For purposes of this Section 10, "<u>Competing Employment</u>" means working for, providing services to or otherwise directly or indirectly assisting (whether or not for compensation) any person, entity or business

------

which directly or indirectly competes with any part of the System Company business, and such employment or services involve products, services and business activities that are the same as or similar to those you provided to a System Company, or as to which you had access to Confidential Information while employed by any System Company or, with respect to that part of the Non-Compete Period described in Subsection 10(b)(ii), in the two years preceding your termination of employment or service with all System Companies. You agree that it is reasonable for the restriction contained in this paragraph to apply in each and every county, province, state, city, parish or other political subdivision or territory of the United States in which any System Company engages in any business activity, or otherwise distributes, licenses or sells its products or services, including, without limitation, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and any other state in which any System Company engages in business at any time and, with respect to the State of Louisiana, means the following Parishes: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Grant, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, La Salle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, Point Coupee, Red River, Richland, Sabine, Saint Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, Saint James, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Landry, Saint Martin, Saint Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Union, Vermilion, Vernon, Washington, Webster, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll, West Feliciana and Winn (collectively, the "<u>Restricted Territory</u>"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated by any System Company employer without Cause, the covenant not to compete set forth in this Section 10(b) shall apply only for as long as the System Company employer continues to pay you, in accordance with the System Company employer's regular payroll practices and schedule, your bi-weekly base salary in effect on the effective date of the termination of your employment, less any applicable tax withholdings and ordinary deductions (such payments, the "<u>Non-Compete Payments</u>"), but in no such event for longer than the Non-Compete Period. In any instance where a System Company employer has the right to elect to make Non-Compete Payments, such System Company employer must notify you in writing of such election, and the duration for which it elects to make Non-Compete Payments, within ten (10) business days following the termination of your employment from all System Company employment. If the System Company Employer elects to make the Non-Compete Payments for less than the full Non-Compete Period, you shall be free to join a competitor after you cease receiving the Non-Compete Payments. For purposes of clarity, in the event of your termination for Cause or voluntary resignation, you shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 10(b) without any requirement that any System Company employer pay you any Non-Compete Payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Solicitation; Non-Interference</u>. You agree that, until the later of the end of the Non-Compete Period or the last day you are scheduled to receive cash severance payments from your System Company employer pursuant to any severance plan or other agreement, except in the good faith performance of your duties to the System Companies, you shall not, other than as authorized in writing by the General Counsel of the Company: (i) directly or indirectly, solicit or seek to hire or identify for potential hiring (whether on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person, entity or organization) any person who is at that time (or was during the prior six (6) months) an employee or consultant of any System Company, or (ii) within the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly solicit the trade, business or patronage of any clients, customers or vendors or prospective clients, customers or vendors of any System Company to provide competing products or services or advise, or assist such clients, customers or vendors or prospective clients, customers or vendors to in any way modify their relationship with any System Company. This Section 10(c) shall not be violated by general advertising not targeted at the forgoing persons or entities. The non-solicitation covenant in Subsection 10(c)(i) shall not apply to solicitation of persons involuntarily terminated from System Company employment and shall only apply to persons (A) who reported directly or indirectly to you; (B) with whom you had material contact while

------

at a System Company; or (C) about whom or which you possessed (1) information regarding quality of performance while they were employed by or performing services for a System Company, which information you would not otherwise have except for the position you held with a System Company, or (2) Confidential Information. You further agree that while you are employed by any System Company and thereafter until the later of the end of the Non-Compete Period or the last day you are scheduled to receive cash severance payments from your System Company, you will not, directly or indirectly, induce or encourage any third party, including any provider of goods or services to any System Company, to terminate or diminish its business relationship with any System Company; nor will you take any other action that could, directly or indirectly, be detrimental to any System Company's relationships with its providers of goods or services or other business affiliates or that could otherwise interfere with any System Company's business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. You agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will not at any time (whether during or after your employment or service with any System Company), other than in the proper performance of your duties, publish or communicate to any person or entity any "Disparaging" (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning any System Company or, to the extent related to their service to any System Company, any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, or attorneys. "<u>Disparaging</u>" remarks, comments or statements are those that are intended to, or could be construed in a manner so as to, impugn, discredit, injure or impair the business, reputation, character, honesty, integrity, judgment, morality or business acumen or abilities of the individual or entity being disparaged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>System Company Property</u>. All tangible materials, equipment, devices, documents, copies of documents, data compilations (in whatever form), software programs, and electronically created or stored materials that you receive or create in the course of employment with a System Company are and shall remain the property of the System Company and you shall immediately return (and/or cooperate in the supervised deletion of) such property to your System Company employer upon the termination of your employment, for whatever reason. The obligation to return property and documents extends to anything received or made during and as a result of employment by a System Company, regardless of whether it was received from a System Company or a third party, such as an actual or potential vendor or customer, and regardless of whether a document contains Confidential Information. The only documents not subject to the obligation to return are documents directly relating to your compensation and benefits, such as your pay stubs and benefit plan information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Violation of the Restrictive Covenant Section</u>. In the event that you violate any provision of this Section 10, the time periods set forth in those paragraphs shall be extended for the period of time you remain in violation of the provisions, to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law. The provisions of Sections 10(a) – (e) hereof are, and shall be construed as, independent covenants, and no claimed or actual breach of any contractual or legal duty by any System Company shall excuse or terminate your obligations hereunder or preclude any System Company from obtaining injunctive relief for your violation, or threatened violation, of any of those provisions. You also agree to indemnify and hold the System Companies harmless from any and all losses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred to enforce this Agreement) suffered by any System Company as a result of any violation or threatened violation of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in addition to any other remedies available to the System Companies set forth in Section 10(i) below), provided that a System Company is found to be the prevailing party in any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exclusions</u>. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 10 or in this Agreement to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The restrictive covenants in this Section 10 are not intended to restrict you from cooperating with any investigation or proceeding initiated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("<u>NRC</u>") or any other federal or state regulatory agency. Further, you may make disclosure (A) to exercise your rights as a whistleblower under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 21F-17(a), or any other federal or state law providing whistleblower rights; (B) to the extent necessary when providing safety-related or other information to the NRC on matters within the NRC's regulatory jurisdiction; (C) when participating in "protected activities," as defined in Section 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 and in 10 C.F.R. Part 50.7; (D) when engaging in activities protected by the National Labor Relations Act or any similar federal or state law; or (E) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency or administrative or legislative body with jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. With the exception of Confidential Information subject to the attorney-client privilege, you shall have no obligation to seek prior approval of any System Company or to inform any System Company of such disclosure. This Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate, without notice to any System Company, with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, or to collect a reward in connection with any whistleblower information provided to a government agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Defend Trade Secrets Act Immunity Notice*. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, non-compliance with the disclosure provisions of this Agreement shall not subject you to criminal or civil liability under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a System Company trade secret: (A) in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney in confidence solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that any complaint or document containing the trade secret is filed under seal; or (C) to an attorney representing you in a lawsuit for retaliation by any System Company for reporting a suspected violation of law or to use the trade secret information in that court proceeding, provided that any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All applicable laws with regard to restrictive covenants (including those of the State of California) are incorporated by reference herein and shall be treated as a part of this Section 10. Accordingly, in the event of an inconsistency between any provision of this Section 10 and an applicable legal requirement, the applicable legal requirement shall apply and this Section 10 shall be interpreted to require only such restrictions as are permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restrictive Covenants Contained in Other Agreements</u>. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that you are or become subject to any other agreement with a System Company that contains restrictive covenants different from the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, the restrictive covenants set forth in such other agreement shall supplement, and shall not replace, the restrictive covenants herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Enforcement</u>. You hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 10 are reasonable with respect to their scope, duration, and geographical area. You further agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 10 do not and would not unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. If any court or other tribunal determines that any term or

------

provision of Section 10 is overbroad or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, you and the Company hereby agree that such court or tribunal shall have the power and obligation to narrow or otherwise reform the unenforceable term or provision, including to delete, replace, or add specific words or phrases, but only to the narrowest extent necessary to render the provision valid and enforceable (provided that in no event shall the length of any restrictive covenant or its scope be extended or expanded), and this Agreement shall be fully enforceable as so modified. Your agreement to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement and the Company's agreement to grant the Award are mutually dependent consideration. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if (A) the enforceability of any material restriction applicable to you as provided for in this Section 10 is challenged and found unenforceable by a court or other tribunal or (B) you breach any of the provisions of Section 10, then the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and recover from you all Shares paid to you pursuant to this Agreement and, if you have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of any Common Stock paid to you pursuant to this Agreement in respect of RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents in which you have vested, an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date on which you vested in the RSUs and attributable Dividend Equivalents. This provision shall be construed as a return of consideration or ill-gotten gains due to the failure of your promises and consideration under the Agreement, and not as a liquidated damages clause. In addition, in the event of the Company's termination of this Agreement, you shall immediately forfeit all unvested RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents). You further hereby agree that, in the event of a breach by you of any of the provisions of Sections 10(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company or a System Company may, in addition to and without prejudice to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and without having to demonstrate that money damages would be inadequate. You acknowledge (i) that you have carefully read this Agreement and have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Agreement, and you are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information of the System Companies and their relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners and (ii) that you are informed in writing hereby that you have a right to the advice of legal counsel and should consult with an attorney of your choice with regard to this Agreement, and you have been provided ample opportunity to seek out and consult with such counsel.

For purposes of this Section 10, "<u>Company</u>" shall include Entergy and all other System Companies. You and the Company agree that each System Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 10, and further agree that each System Company is entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 10 in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the terms of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force according to their respective terms.

In the twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment as an ML 1-4 employee with your last System Company employer, in the event you seek or obtain employment or another business affiliation with any person or entity other than a System Company, you agree to notify the Company in writing, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, but in no event less than two weeks prior to your proposed commencement of employment, of the details of such employment or business affiliation. You also agree to show these restrictive covenant provisions to any prospective employer, and you consent to any System Company showing these provisions to any third party believed by a System Company to be a prospective

Your obligations under this Section 10(k) will expire on that date which is twelve months after the end of your employment with all System Companies (or, if later, the last date as of which you are scheduled to receive separation payments from any System Company pursuant to a severance plan or other agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Validity</u>. Except as specifically provided in Section 10(i) of this Agreement, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law/Court Proceedings</u>. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state. Any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or with respect to this Agreement, its enforcement, breach, or interpretation, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and you and the Company hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and its appellate court, whether or not located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding. You and the Company hereby irrevocably waive (i) any objections which each may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, (ii) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) any right to a jury trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Incorporation of Plan</u>. The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the RSUs (and attributable Dividend Equivalents) and this Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. If any terms of this Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern unless the Plan allows for such modification by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agreement Not a Contract of Employment</u>. Your employment with your System Company employer shall remain at-will. Neither the Plan, the granting of the RSUs, the Grant Notice,

------

this Agreement nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that you have a right to continue as an employee of any System Company for any period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <u>Authority of the Committee</u>. The Committee shall have full authority and discretion to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan, the Grant Notice, and this Agreement. The determination of the Committee as to any such matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Code Section 409A Limitations</u>. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, all provisions of the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and, if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Code Section 409A or final regulations issued thereunder. Specifically, the terms "termination" and "termination of employment" shall be applied in a manner consistent with the definition of "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. A right of any System Company, if any, to offset or otherwise reduce any sums that may be due or become payable by any System Company to you by any overpayment or indebtedness of yours shall be subject to limitations imposed by Code Section 409A. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the Code Section 409A deferral election rules and the exclusion from Code Section 409A for certain short-term deferral amounts. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be excludible from the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the maximum possible extent, either as (i) short-term deferral amounts (e.g., amounts payable no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the taxable year of your System Company employer in which such RSUs are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), or (ii) under the exclusion for involuntary separation pay provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). To the extent that deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A becomes payable under this Agreement to you at a time when you are a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), any such payments shall be delayed by six months to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan or this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Breach; Waiver</u>. If Grantee fails to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement or the Plan, Grantee shall not be entitled to the Award, as Company may determine in its sole discretion. Any term or provision of this Agreement may only be waived by a System Company. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if it is in writing signed by an authorized Company officer. The failure of any System Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any System Company thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Headings</u>. The titles and headings of the sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form part of this Agreement, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

**2026 - 2028 Performance Unit Agreement – Alternative Retirement Vesting ("<u>Agreement</u>")** 

**Under the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan**

Pursuant to the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>"), you ("you" or "Grantee") are eligible to participate at a target Achievement Level (as defined below) of that number of performance units (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the "<u>Target Performance Units</u>") (based upon an Achievement Level of 100%) set forth under the heading "Total Granted" on the Performance Unit Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "<u>Grant Notice</u>") for the performance period commencing January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028 (the "<u>Performance Period</u>"), subject to the terms of the Plan and to the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Effective Date of Agreement; Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Performance Units.</u> This Agreement is effective as of the Award Date set forth on the Grant Notice, contingent upon your acceptance of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Grant Notice. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to your electronically acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions and the terms of the Plan in the manner and at the time set forth on the Grant Notice. If you do not timely acknowledge and accept this Agreement in accordance with the Grant Notice, the Company shall be entitled to unilaterally cancel and render void this Agreement and the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Achievement Levels.</u> The Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board (the "<u>Committee</u>") shall determine the total achievement level attained by the Company for the Performance Period (the "<u>Total Achievement Level</u>"), which shall be based (i) eighty percent (80%) on TSR Achievement Level (as defined below); (ii) ten percent (10%) on an Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level (as defined below); and (iii) ten percent (10%) on a Reliability Achievement Level (as defined below). The weighted average of the three performance measures will determine the Total Achievement Level and overall payout for the Performance Period. For these purposes, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Total Achievement Level shall be determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.The "<u>TSR Achievement Level</u>" shall be determined by comparing the Company's "total shareholder return" for the Performance Period ("<u>Company TSR</u>") to that of the peer group companies comprising the Philadelphia Electric Utilities Index as of October 31, 2025 (the "<u>Peer Group</u>"). For this purpose, subject to the terms of the Plan, "total shareholder return" shall be determined in accordance with Company administrative practice based on the changes in the stock price and dividends over the course of the Performance Period. The possible TSR Achievement Levels for the Performance Period shall be determined as follows: for bottom quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the fourth or bottom quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level is zero percent; for third quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the third quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level shall be determined by interpolating between index median (100% TSR Achievement Level) and the performance of the Peer Group company at the top of the fourth quartile, starting at 25% TSR Achievement Level; for second quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the second quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level shall be determined by interpolating between the performance of the Peer Group Company at the bottom of the top quartile (200% TSR Achievement Level) and index median (100% TSR Achievement Level); and for top quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the first or top quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level is 200%.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The "<u>Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level"</u> shall be based (i) sixty percent (60%) on System Company performance with respect to a climate resilience measure (the "<u>Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level</u>") as described below, relative to "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting; and (ii) forty percent (40%) on System Company performance with respect to generation of carbon emission-free electricity (the "<u>Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>"), as described below, relative to "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting.

The "<u>Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level</u>" is based on the total number of primary poles of Entergy System operating companies that have been hardened as of the end of the Performance Period as compared to the total primary pole count of the Entergy System operating companies as of the beginning of the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage (the "<u>Hardened Primary Poles Percentage</u>"), which percentage shall be compared to the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Levels established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting as "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum." For a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage less than the Minimum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is zero, (B) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage equal to the Minimum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 25%, (C) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage equal to the Target, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 100%, (D) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than or equal to the Maximum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 200%, (E) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (F) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum.

The "<u>Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>" is determined by comparing the Entergy System Companies' cumulative electricity delivered to the grid over the Performance Period from owned assets and through power purchase agreements derived exclusively from sources that do not emit greenhouse gases during their production of electricity ("<u>Carbon Free Generation</u>"), to the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Levels established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting as "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum." For Carbon Free Generation less than the Minimum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is zero. For Carbon-Free Generation equal to the Minimum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 25%. For Carbon-Free Generation equal to the Target, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 100%. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than or equal to the Maximum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 200%. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be multiplied by a Carbon Management Modifier between 0.91 and 1.09, based on System Company level of achievement with respect to two equally weighted carbon management objectives established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting to produce the "<u>Modified Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>"; provided the Committee in its discretion may elect not to apply a Carbon Management Modifier if it determines that no economic or technically viable carbon management options were available to customers during the Performance Period.

------

The final Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level for the Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of (A) sixty percent (60%) of the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level for the Performance Period and (B) forty percent (40%) of the Modified Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level for the Performance Period. Subject to the terms of the Plan and such adjustments as set forth in this Section 2, these determinations shall be made by the Committee in accordance with Company administrative practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The "<u>Reliability Achievement Level"</u> is comprised of the Entergy System operating companies' combined reliability performance with respect to System Average Interruption Duration Index ("<u>SAIDI</u>") and System Average Interruption Frequency Index ("<u>SAIFI"</u>) for the Performance Period, with SAIDI and SAIFI equally weighted. The percentage improvement in SAIDI (the "<u>SAIDI Percentage Improvement</u>") and SAIFI (the "<u>SAIFI Percentage Improvement</u>"), as compared to yearend 2025 performance, shall be calculated for SAIDI and SAIFI for each year of the Performance Period and shall be compared to the "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting for each year of the Performance Period to determine the "<u>SAIDI Achievement Level"</u> and "<u>SAIFI Achievement Level</u>," respectively, for each year of the Performance Period. (A) For a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year less than the Minimum for that year, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is zero, (B) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Minimum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 25%, (C) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Target, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 100%, (D) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than or equal to the Maximum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 200%, (E) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (F) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The "<u>Overall SAIDI Achievement Level"</u> for the Performance Period shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the SAIDI Achievement Level for each of the three years of the Performance Period. (I) For a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year less than the Minimum for that year, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is zero, (II) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Minimum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 25%, (III) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Target, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 100%, (IV) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than or equal to the Maximum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 200%, (V) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (VI) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The "<u>Overall SAIFI Achievement Level"</u> for the Performance Period shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the SAIFI Achievement Level for each of the three years of the Performance Period. The Reliability Achievement Level for the Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Overall SAIDI Achievement Level and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Overall SAIFI Achievement Level.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Total Achievement Level shall be equal to the sum of (1),(2) and (3), where (1) is equal to 80% of the TSR Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.a., (2) is equal to 10% of the Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.b., and (3) is equal to 10% of the Reliability Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.c, provided that the Total Achievement Level shall not exceed 200%. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Total Achievement

------

Level shall be adjusted for such items as the Committee may determine in its discretion during or after the Performance Period (but in any event before any delivery of Shares hereunder), whether resulting in an increase or decrease (including to zero (0)) in the number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder, considering management accountability and business rationale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Performance Units Earned.</u> The actual number of performance units awarded to you under this Agreement, if any (the "<u>Performance Units</u>"), shall be calculated by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period by multiplying the Target Performance Units by the percentage of the Total Achievement Level, determined as described in Section 2. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, to earn Performance Units you must (i) remain a full-time employee of a System Company for the entire Performance Period; (ii) maintain a System Management Level ("ML") 1-4 role (an "<u>Eligible Role</u>"), resulting in an award opportunity dependent on your specific ML role ("<u>Eligibility Level</u>"); and (iii) comply with Section 10 of this Agreement.

Except as provided below for an employee on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, if you are approved by your System Company employer for a leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) for reasons other than Disability or you are a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the phased retirement program under the Entergy System Policies & Procedures Phased Retirement – Pre-Separation Policy (the "<u>Phased Retirement Program</u>"), you will continue to be treated for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement as a full-time employee of a System Company while you are on such approved leave of absence or during such participation in the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable. If you are on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program offered pursuant to Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, you will not be considered under the Plan or this Agreement to be a full-time employee during the extended leave of absence bridge period or a part-time System Company employee under the Phased Retirement Program during the extended leave of absence bridge period, and your System Company employment will be considered terminated for purposes of vesting in Awards under this Agreement as of the commencement of your extended leave of absence bridge period.

If you have completed a minimum of twelve months of full-time employment in an Eligible Role during the Performance Period and you Retire (as defined below) before you have attained age 60 and completed at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service (as defined below), you will be eligible for a prorated portion of the applicable Achievement Level of Performance Units, based on your full months of participation and your Eligibility Level(s) during the Performance Period. If you have completed a minimum of twelve months of full-time employment in an Eligible Role during the Performance Period and you Retire on or after the date you have attained age 60 and completed at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service, you will continue to vest in the Performance Units after you Retire as if your System Company employment had continued through the end of the Performance Period and you will be eligible for the applicable Achievement Level of Performance Units, based on your Eligibility Level(s) during the Performance Period. For purposes of this paragraph, "<u>Retire</u>" means you incur a separation from service with all System Companies and at the time of such separation from service either (A) you are eligible to commence retirement benefits under a final average pay defined benefit pension formula under a System Company sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan, (B) you have attained age 65, or (C) you have attained age 55 with at least ten (10) years of Vesting Service; and "<u>Vesting Service</u>" means vesting service under the System Company sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan in which you actively participate or, if none, under the System Company sponsored qualified defined contribution pension plan in which you actively participate. If your employment terminates due to your incurring a Disability or you die during the Performance Period, you (or your Beneficiary or heirs) will be eligible for

------

a prorated portion of the applicable Achievement Level of Performance Units, based on your full months of full-time employment prior to your Disability or death and your Eligibility Level(s) during the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, during the Performance Period (x) your employment is terminated for Cause or (y) the Committee or its delegee determines that you engaged in an activity that would constitute Cause, then you shall not be entitled to receive any Performance Units pursuant to this Agreement.

Regardless of eligibility, you shall not be entitled to receipt of nor vest in any Performance Units and/or any dividends that have accrued on any Performance Units unless and until the Talent and Compensation Committee has certified the Achievement Level after the close of the Performance Period.

If you are promoted during the Performance Period, then the number of Target Performance Units set forth on the Grant Notice shall be adjusted (but not downward) to reflect the number of full months during the Performance Period for which you were eligible hereunder in each Eligibility Level, and the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect the number of full months you earned Performance Units at each Eligibility Level.

If you are demoted during the Performance Period, but you remain in an Eligible Role following such demotion, then the number of Target Performance Units set forth on the Grant Notice shall be adjusted (but not upward) to reflect the number of full months during the Performance Period for which you were eligible hereunder in each Eligibility Level, and the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect the number of full months you earned Performance Units at each Eligibility Level.

If any change to an Eligibility Level is effective on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you with respect to the transition month in accordance with this Section 3 will be determined based on your prior Eligibility Level.

If you are demoted to a position that is not an Eligible Role or you are otherwise no longer in an Eligible Role during the Performance Period, but remain employed on a regular full-time basis by a System Company for the duration of the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect only the number of full months you were employed in an Eligible Role in accordance with your Eligibility Level(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Accelerated Change in Control Vesting.</u> Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.in the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs and (ii) either (x) outstanding Target Performance Units are not assumed or substituted in connection therewith as described in Section 12(b) of the Plan, or (y) outstanding Target Performance Units are so assumed or substituted in connection therewith and your employment or service is terminated by your System Company employer without Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control (the date on which (x) or (y) occurs, the "<u>CIC Vesting Date</u>"), then (A) the Committee shall calculate the Achievement Level for the Performance Period during which the CIC Vesting Date occurs treating the CIC Vesting Date as if it were the last day of the Performance Period (the "<u>CIC Achievement Level</u>") and you shall immediately become fully vested in that number of Performance Units calculated by multiplying the Adjusted Target Performance Units (as defined below) by the percentage of the Company's attained Achievement Level that is the greater of Target Achievement Level or CIC Achievement Level and (B) the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 10.b., 10.c., and 10.d. of this Agreement shall cease to apply as of the CIC Vesting Date.

------

In the event of accelerated vesting as described in this Section 4.a., but subject to the conditions and limitations described herein and subject to Section 5 of the Plan, the Company shall pay you a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with this Section 4.a. no later than sixty (60) days after the CIC Vesting Date; provided, that if such 60-day period straddles two of your taxable years, the payment shall be made in the later year. "<u>Adjusted Target Performance Units</u>" means that number of units calculated by multiplying the Target Performance Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Performance Period up to and including the CIC Vesting Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the time and form of any payments to which you may be entitled pursuant to this Section 4 are subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 22 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Dividend Equivalents.</u> If you are awarded Performance Units pursuant to this Agreement, you will also be awarded the dividend equivalents attributable to such awarded Performance Units for the time you were a Participant in an Eligible Role and at the Eligibility Level underlying such Performance Units ("<u>Dividend Equivalents</u>"). The Dividend Equivalents with respect to each awarded Performance Unit will be equal to only the dividends paid with respect to a Share for the period of your participation in the Plan at an Eligible Role during the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Settlement of Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Committee determines the number of Performance Units, if any, to be awarded to you under this Agreement and no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> following the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Units are no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Company shall issue to you, after withholding all applicable income tax and employment tax amounts required to be withheld in connection with such payment in accordance with Section 6.d. of this Agreement: (i) one Share for each Performance Unit so determined to be awarded, and (ii) an additional number of Shares determined by dividing the total Dividend Equivalents with respect to such awarded Performance Units by the closing share price of a Share on the last trading date of the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Dividend Equivalents are awarded with respect to Performance Units that are payable pursuant to Section 4.a., the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of such Dividend Equivalents shall be calculated treating the CIC Vesting Date as the last day of the Performance Period and shall be issued no later than sixty (60) days after the CIC Vesting Date; provided, that if such 60-day period straddles two of your taxable years, such Shares shall be issued in the later year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Shares (including any Dividend Equivalents that are settled in Shares) shall be credited to a separate book entry account in your name, and such vested Shares shall be free of all restrictions except any that may be imposed by law. Upon the crediting of vested Shares to a book entry account, you may treat the Shares in the same manner as all other shares of Common Stock owned by you, subject to the provisions of Section 6.c. below. All ML 1-4 Participants are considered Restricted Employees under Entergy's Insider Trading Policy and, as such, may trade in Entergy Corporation securities only during an open window period (and only if not in possession of material, non-public information). Generally, window periods begin on the second business day after the quarterly earnings release and end at the close of trading on the 15th day of the third month of the Company's fiscal quarter or, if such day is not a trading day, on the last preceding trading day. In addition, if you are a Restricted Employee, the Insider Trading Policy requires that you pre-clear all transactions involving Entergy securities with Entergy Corporation's Office of the General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.<u>Share Ownership Guidelines</u>. All ML 1-4 Participants must maintain the applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level in the chart below, which is expressed as a multiple of your base salary and depends on your management level.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>System Management Level</u>** | **<u>Common Stock Ownership Target Level</u>** |
| ML 1 | 6 times base salary |
| ML 2 | 3 times base salary |
| ML 3 | 2 times base salary |
| ML 4 | 1 times base salary |

---

These ownership multiples may be satisfied through any shares of Common Stock held by you, including, but not limited to, those Shares earned with respect to this Performance Period, Restricted Shares on which restrictions have not yet lifted, and shares of Common Stock held in tax-qualified 401(k) plans. You must continue to retain the book entry Shares issued to you pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) achieving and maintaining your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, or (ii) your termination of full-time employment with all System Companies. Once you have achieved and maintain your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, you are no longer bound to hold the Shares earned with respect to this Performance Period in book entry. However, you are still subject to the trading restrictions and pre-clearance requirements in transacting in these Shares described in Section 6.b. of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.<u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The Company shall use the "net shares method" to satisfy any tax withholding obligation in respect of any payment under this Agreement, which means the Company will reduce the number of earned Shares otherwise payable to you by the amount necessary to cover up to the maximum amount of such obligation in any applicable jurisdiction. In no event shall the Company or any other System Company have any liability to you for your individual income tax liability, for withholding or failing to withhold taxes, or for remitting or failing to remit taxes with respect to your income, including without limitation, in the event that you are subject to penalty tax or premium interest tax pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.<u>No Fractional Shares</u>. Any fractional Share to be distributed shall be settled in cash and applied to satisfy tax withholding requirements. The Company will not deliver any fractional Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Agreement.</u> Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, this Agreement (other than the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 10) and your Target Performance Units award opportunity shall terminate and be forfeited on the date on which your full-time System Company employment terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Performance Units Nontransferable.</u> Your Target Performance Units award opportunity and any Performance Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, hypothecated or disposed of by you (or your beneficiary) other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Entergy Policies.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.<u>Hedging Policy</u>. Pursuant to the Entergy Corporation Policy Relating to Hedging, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on December 3, 2010, and as in effect on the date hereof, officers, directors and employees are prohibited from entering into hedging or monetization

------

transactions involving Common Stock so they continue to own Common Stock with the full risks and rewards of ownership, thereby ensuring continued alignment of their objectives with the Company's other shareholders. Participation in any hedging transaction with respect to Common Stock (including Target Performance Units or Performance Units) is prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.<u>Recoupment Policy; Dodd-Frank; Payment in Error</u>. The Performance Units (and Shares issued in payment of Performance Units) are subject to forfeiture and recovery by the Company pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation (i) any policy that the Company has adopted or may adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, including the Entergy System Policy Regarding Recoupment of Certain Compensation, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2023, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof ("<u>Recoupment Policy</u>"), (ii) the Entergy System Discretionary Recoupment Policy Regarding Detrimental Conduct ("<u>Detrimental Conduct Policy</u>"), as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on January 26, 2024, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) pursuant to the Recoupment Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of certain incentive compensation from "executive officers," as defined in the Recoupment Policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws; or there is a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation, regardless of whether the Company's financial statements are restated; or the Board determines that an executive officer engaged in fraud resulting in either a restatement of the Company's financial statements or a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation whether or not the financial statements were restated, and (B) pursuant to the Detrimental Conduct Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of incentive compensation from any ML 1-4 officer who engages in certain detrimental conduct, including commission of a felony or other crime that affects the officer's ability to perform their duties; fraud in contravention of the officer's duties to the enterprise; unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of an Entergy System company or material violation of a material written Entergy System company policy or material agreement between the officer and an Entergy System company in either case that results in, or could have resulted in, termination for Cause or that results in significant financial or operational loss, or significant reputational harm to the Company; and any other conduct that the officer knew or should have known could result in termination for Cause (regardless of whether it does) and that results in significant financial or operational loss or significant reputational harm to the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that a payment is made to you (whether in cash, stock or other property) in error that exceeds the amount to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, including without limitation pursuant to Section 28 of the Plan (such excess amount, an "<u>Excess Payment</u>"), you will repay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to recoup from you such Excess Payment by notifying you in writing of the nature and amount of such Excess Payment together with (i) demand for direct repayment to the Company by you in the amount of such Excess Payment or (ii) reduction of any amount(s) owed to you by the Company or any other System Company by the amount of the Excess Payment.

In consideration of the grant to you of the Target Performance Units award opportunity set forth herein and any Performance Units awarded to you pursuant to this Agreement, you hereby agree to the following restrictive covenants:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.<u>Confidential Information</u>. You acknowledge that the System Companies have unique methods and processes for the generation, transmission and distribution and sale of energy and

------

energy-related products, which give the System Companies a competitive advantage, including strategic and non-public plans for their products, geographic and customer markets, and for marketing, distributing and selling their products. You further acknowledge that you have held a position of confidence and trust with respect to the System Companies and that you have and will acquire additional detailed knowledge of the System Companies' unique and confidential methods of doing business and plans for the future. You acknowledge that the System Companies are expending and will continue to expend substantial amounts of time, money and effort to develop effective business and regulatory strategies, methodologies and technology. You also acknowledge that the System Companies have a compelling business interest in protecting the System Companies' Confidential Information (as defined below) and that the System Companies would be seriously and irreparably damaged by the improper disclosure of Confidential Information. You therefore agree that, during your employment or other service with any System Company and at all times thereafter, you will hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the System Companies and, other than as authorized in writing by the General Counsel of the Company or as required by law or in the proper performance of your duties and responsibilities, or as otherwise provided in this Section 10, you will not disclose, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity, or use, any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the furtherance of your responsibilities to any System Company. For purposes of this Agreement, "<u>Confidential Information</u>" means information that is not generally known by persons outside the System Companies and could not easily be determined or learned by someone outside the System Companies, including without limitation, any and all information and knowledge, whether or not explicitly designated as confidential and whether or not reduced to writing, regarding the System Companies' business, including, without limitation, (i) the generation, transmission, brokering, marketing, distribution, sale and delivery of electric power or natural gas (through regulated utilities or otherwise), (ii) the System Companies' ownership, development, management or operation of power plants and power generation facilities (including, without limitation, nuclear power plants), and the provision of operations and management services (including, without limitation, decommissioning services) with respect to power plants, and the sale of the electric power produced by the System Companies' operating plants to wholesale customers, (iii) the System Companies' proprietary methods and methodology, technical data, trade secrets, know-how, research and development information, product plans, customer lists, specific information relating to products, services and customers or prospective customers (including, but not limited to, customers or prospective customers of any System Company with whom you became or become acquainted during your relationship with any System Company), books and records of any System Company, corporate, regulatory, customer and strategic relationships, suppliers, markets, computer software, computer software development, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs, drawings, technical information, source codes, engineering information, hardware configuration information, and matters of a business nature such as information regarding marketing, costs, pricing, finances, financial models and projections, billings, new or existing business or economic development plans, initiatives, and opportunities, or any other similar business information made available to you prior to or during your employment with a System Company or otherwise in connection with your relationship with any System Company and (iv) any attorney-client privileged information of a System Company. Confidential Information shall also include non-public information concerning any director, officer, employee, shareholder, or partner of any System Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.<u>Non-Competition</u>. You agree that (i) at all times during the period of your employment or service with any System Company employer, and (ii) for one (1) year following the termination for any reason of your employment by or service with your last System Company employer ((i) and (ii) collectively, as applicable, the "<u>Non-Compete Period</u>"), you will not engage in Competing Employment. For purposes of this Section 10, "<u>Competing Employment</u>" means working for, providing services to or otherwise directly or indirectly assisting (whether or not for compensation) any person, entity or business which directly or indirectly competes with any part of the System Company business, and such employment or services involve products, services and business activities that are the same as or similar to those you provided to a System Company, or as to which you had access to Confidential Information while employed by any System Company or, with respect to that part of the Non-Compete Period described in subsection 10(b)(ii), in the two years preceding your termination of employment or service with all System Companies. You agree that it is reasonable for the restriction contained in this paragraph to apply in each and every county, province, state, city, parish or other political subdivision or territory of the United States in which any System Company engages in any business activity, or otherwise distributes, licenses or sells its products or services, including, without limitation, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and any other state in which any System Company engages in business at any time and, with respect to the State of Louisiana, means the following Parishes: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cameron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Grant, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, La Salle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, Point Coupee, Red River, Richland, Sabine, Saint Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, Saint James, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Landry, Saint Martin, Saint Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Union, Vermilion, Vernon, Washington, Webster, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll, West Feliciana and Winn (collectively, the "<u>Restricted Territory</u>").

In any instance where a System Company employer has the right to elect to make Non-Compete Payments, such System Company employer must notify you in writing of such election, and the duration for which it elects to make Non-Compete Payments, within ten (10) business days following the termination of your employment from all System Company employment. If the System Company Employer elects to make the Non-Compete Payments for less than the full Non-Compete Period, you shall be free to join a competitor after you cease receiving the Non-Compete Payments. For purposes of clarity, in the event of your termination for Cause or voluntary resignation, you shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 10.b. without any requirement that any System Company employer pay you any Non-Compete Payments.

The non-solicitation covenant in subsection 10(c)(i) shall not apply to solicitation of persons involuntarily terminated from System Company employment and shall only apply to persons (A) who reported directly or indirectly to you; (B) with whom you had material contact while at a System Company; or (C) about whom or which you possessed (1) information regarding quality of performance while they were employed by or performing services for a System Company, which information you would not otherwise have except for the position you held with a System Company, or (2) Confidential Information. You further agree that while you are employed by any System Company and thereafter until the later of the end of the Non-Compete Period or the last day you are scheduled to receive cash severance payments from your System Company, you will not, directly or indirectly, induce or encourage any third party, including any provider of goods or services to any System Company, to terminate or diminish its business relationship with any System Company; nor will you take any other action that could, directly or indirectly, be detrimental to any System Company's relationships with its providers of goods or services or other business affiliates or that could otherwise interfere with any System Company's business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.<u>Non-Disparagement</u>. You agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you will not at any time (whether during or after your employment or service with any System Company), other than in the proper performance of your duties, publish or communicate to any person or entity any "Disparaging" (as defined below) remarks, comments or statements concerning any System Company or, to the extent related to their service to any System Company, any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, or attorneys. "<u>Disparaging</u>" remarks, comments or statements are those that are intended to, or could be construed in a manner so as to, impugn, discredit, injure or impair the business, reputation, character, honesty, integrity, judgment, morality or business acumen or abilities of the individual or entity being disparaged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.<u>System Company Property</u>. All tangible materials, equipment, devices, documents, copies of documents, data compilations (in whatever form), software programs, and electronically created or stored materials that you receive or create in the course of employment with a System Company are and shall remain the property of the System Company and you shall immediately return (and/or cooperate in the supervised deletion of) such property to your System Company employer upon the termination of your employment, for whatever reason. The obligation to return property and documents extends to anything received or made during and as a result of employment by a System Company, regardless of whether it was received from a System Company or a third party, such as an actual or potential vendor or customer, and regardless of whether a document contains Confidential Information. The only documents not subject to the obligation to return are documents directly relating to your compensation and benefits, such as your pay stubs and benefit plan information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.<u>Violation of the Restrictive Covenant Section</u>. In the event that you violate any provision of this Section 10, the time periods set forth in those paragraphs shall be extended for the period of time you remain in violation of the provisions, to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law. The provisions of Sections 10.a. through 10.e. hereof are, and shall be construed as, independent covenants, and no claimed or actual breach of any contractual or legal duty by any System Company shall excuse or terminate your obligations hereunder or preclude any System Company from obtaining injunctive relief for your violation, or threatened violation, of any of those provisions. You also agree to indemnify and hold the System Companies harmless from any and all losses (including, but not limited to, reasonable

------

attorney's fees and other expenses incurred to enforce this Agreement) suffered by any System Company as a result of any violation or threatened violation of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in addition to any other remedies available to the System Companies set forth in Section 10.i. below), provided that a System Company is found to be the prevailing party in any such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;g.<u>Exclusions</u>. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 10 or in this Agreement to the contrary:

Part 50.7; (D) when engaging in activities protected by the National Labor Relations Act or any similar federal or state law; or (E) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency or administrative or legislative body with jurisdiction to order you to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. With the exception of Confidential Information subject to the attorney-client privilege, you shall have no obligation to seek prior approval of any System Company or to inform any System Company of such disclosure. This Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate, without notice to any System Company, with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, or to collect a reward in connection with any whistleblower information provided to a government agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Defend Trade Secrets Act Immunity Notice.* Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, non-compliance with the disclosure provisions of this Agreement shall not subject you to criminal or civil liability under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a System Company trade secret: (A) in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney in confidence solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that any complaint or document containing the trade secret is filed under seal; or (C) to an attorney representing you in a lawsuit for retaliation by any System Company for reporting a suspected violation of law or to use the trade secret information in that court proceeding, provided that any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All applicable laws with regard to restrictive covenants (including those of the State of California) are incorporated by reference herein and shall be treated as a part of this Section 10. Accordingly, in the event of an inconsistency between any provision of this Section 10 and an applicable legal requirement, the applicable legal requirement shall apply and this Section 10 shall be interpreted to require only such restrictions as are permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.<u>Restrictive Covenants Contained in Other Agreements</u>. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that you are or become subject to any other agreement with a System Company that contains restrictive covenants different from the restrictive

covenants contained in this Agreement, the restrictive covenants set forth in such other agreement shall supplement, and shall not replace, the restrictive covenants herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.<u>Enforcement</u>. You hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 10 are reasonable with respect to their scope, duration, and geographical area. You further agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 10 do not and would not unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. If any court or other tribunal determines that any term or provision of Section 10 is overbroad or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, you and the Company hereby agree that such court or tribunal shall have the power and obligation to narrow or otherwise reform the unenforceable term or provision, including to delete, replace, or add specific words or phrases, but only to the narrowest extent necessary to render the provision valid and enforceable (provided that in no event shall the length of any restrictive covenant or its scope be extended or expanded), and this Agreement shall be fully enforceable as so modified. Your agreement to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement and the Company's agreement to grant the Award are mutually dependent consideration. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if (i) the enforceability of any material restriction applicable to you as provided for in this Section 10 is challenged and found unenforceable by a court or other tribunal or (ii) you breach any of the provisions of Section 10, then the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and recover from you all Shares paid to you pursuant to this Agreement and if you have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of any Shares paid to you pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date such Shares were paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. This provision shall be construed as a return of consideration or ill-gotten gains due to the failure of your promises and consideration under the Agreement, and not as a liquidated damages clause. In addition, in the event of the Company's termination of this Agreement, you shall immediately forfeit all unvested Target Performance Units and your Target Performance Units award opportunity under this Agreement. You further hereby agree that, in the event of a breach by you of any of the provisions of Sections 10.a., 10.b., 10.c., 10.d., or 10.e., monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company or a System Company may, in addition to and without prejudice to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and without having to demonstrate that money damages would be inadequate. You acknowledge (i) that you have carefully read this Agreement and have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Agreement, and you are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information of the System Companies and their relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners and (ii) that you are informed in writing hereby that you have a right to the advice of legal counsel and should consult with an attorney of your choice with regard to this Agreement, and you have been provided ample opportunity to seek out and consult with such counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.<u>Third Party Beneficiaries; Survival of Restrictive Covenants</u>. For purposes of this Section 10, "<u>Company</u>" shall include Entergy and all other System Companies. You and the Company agree that each System Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 10, and further agree that each System Company is entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 10 in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force according to their respective terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.<u>Duty to Notify Prospective Employers of Restrictive Covenants</u>. In the twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment with your last System Company employer, in the event you seek or obtain employment or another business affiliation with any person or entity other than a System Company, you agree to notify the Company in writing, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, but in no event less than two weeks prior to your proposed commencement of employment, of the details of such employment or business affiliation. You also agree to show these restrictive covenant provisions to any prospective employer, and you consent to any System Company showing these provisions to any third party believed by a System Company to be a prospective or actual employer of you, or a receiver of services from you, and to insisting on your compliance with these terms. Your obligations under this Section 10.k. will expire on that date which is twelve months after the end of your employment with all System Companies (or, if later, the last date as of which you are scheduled to receive separation payments from any System Company pursuant to a severance plan or other agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l.<u>Validity</u>. Except as specifically provided in Section 10.i. of this Agreement, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or with respect to this Agreement, its enforcement, breach, or interpretation, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and you and the Company hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and its appellate court, whether or not located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding. You and the Company hereby irrevocably waive (i) any objections which each may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, (ii) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) any right to a jury trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incorporation of Plan.</u> The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Target Performance Units, your Target Performance Units award opportunity under this Agreement, any Performance Units (and any Dividend Equivalents) awarded pursuant to this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agreement Not a Contract of Employment.</u> Your employment with your System Company employer shall remain at will. Neither the Plan, the granting of the Target Performance Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, the Grant Notice, this Agreement nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that you have a right to continue as an employee of any System Company for any period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Authority of the Committee.</u> The Committee shall have full authority and discretion to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan, the Grant Notice, and this Agreement. The determination of the Committee as to any such matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Code Section 409A Limitations.</u> Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, all provisions of the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and, if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Code Section 409A or final regulations issued thereunder. Specifically, the terms "termination" and "termination of employment" shall be applied in a manner consistent with the definition of "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. A right of any System Company, if any, to offset or otherwise reduce any sums that may be due or become payable by any System Company to you by any overpayment or indebtedness of yours shall be subject to limitations imposed by Code Section 409A. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the Code Section 409A deferral election rules and the exclusion from Code Section 409A for certain short-term deferral amounts. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be excludible from the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the maximum possible extent, either as (i) short-term deferral amounts (e.g., amounts payable no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the taxable year of your System Company employer in which such Performance Units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), or (ii) under the exclusion for involuntary separation pay provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). To the extent that deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A becomes payable under this Agreement to you at a time when you are a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), any such payments shall be delayed by six months to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan or

If Grantee fails to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement or the Plan, Grantee shall not be entitled to the Award, as Company may determine in its sole discretion. Any term or provision of this Agreement may only be waived by a System Company. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if it is in writing signed by an authorized Company officer. The failure of any System Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any System Company thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

**2026 - 2028 Performance Unit Agreement ("<u>Agreement</u>")** 

**Under the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan**

Pursuant to the 2019 Entergy Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "<u>Plan</u>"), you ("you" or "Grantee") are eligible to participate at a target Achievement Level (as defined below) of that number of performance units (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the "<u>Target Performance Units</u>") (based upon an Achievement Level of 100%) set forth under the heading "Total Granted" on the Performance Unit Grant Notice to which this Agreement is attached (the "<u>Grant Notice</u>") for the performance period commencing January 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028 (the "<u>Performance Period</u>"), subject to the terms of the Plan and to the following terms and conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Effective Date of Agreement; Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Performance Units.</u> This Agreement is effective as of the Award Date set forth on the Grant Notice, contingent upon your acceptance of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Grant Notice. The effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to your electronically acknowledging and accepting this Agreement and all of its terms and conditions and the terms of the Plan in the manner and at the time set forth on the Grant Notice. If you do not timely acknowledge and accept this Agreement in accordance with the Grant Notice, the Company shall be entitled to unilaterally cancel and render void this Agreement and the Grant Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Achievement Levels.</u> The Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board (the "<u>Committee</u>") shall determine the total achievement level attained by the Company for the Performance Period (the "<u>Total Achievement Level</u>"), which shall be based (i) eighty percent (80%) on TSR Achievement Level (as defined below); (ii) ten percent (10%) on an Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level (as defined below); and (iii) ten percent (10%) on a Reliability Achievement Level (as defined below). The weighted average of the three performance measures will determine the Total Achievement Level and overall payout for the Performance Period. For these purposes, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Total Achievement Level shall be determined as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.The "<u>TSR Achievement Level</u>" shall be determined by comparing the Company's "total shareholder return" for the Performance Period ("<u>Company TSR</u>") to that of the peer group companies comprising the Philadelphia Electric Utilities Index as of October 31, 2025 (the "<u>Peer Group</u>"). For this purpose, subject to the terms of the Plan, "total shareholder return" shall be determined in accordance with Company administrative practice based on the changes in the stock price and dividends over the course of the Performance Period. The possible TSR Achievement Levels for the Performance Period shall be determined as follows: for bottom quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the fourth or bottom quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level is zero percent; for third quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the third quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level shall be determined by interpolating between index median (100% TSR Achievement Level) and the performance of the Peer Group company at the top of the fourth quartile, starting at 25% TSR Achievement Level; for second quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the second quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level shall be determined by interpolating between the performance of the Peer Group Company at the bottom of the top quartile (200% TSR Achievement Level) and index median (100% TSR Achievement Level); and for top quartile performance (where Company TSR is in the first or top quartile of Peer Group TSR), the TSR Achievement Level is 200%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The "<u>Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level"</u> shall be based (i) sixty percent (60%) on System Company performance with respect to a climate resilience measure (the "<u>Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level</u>") as described below, relative to "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting; and (ii) forty percent (40%) on System Company performance with respect to generation of carbon emission-free electricity (the "<u>Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>"), as described below, relative to "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting.

The "<u>Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level</u>" is based on the total number of primary poles of Entergy System operating companies that have been hardened as of the end of the Performance Period as compared to the total primary pole count of the Entergy System operating companies as of the beginning of the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage (the "<u>Hardened Primary Poles Percentage</u>"), which percentage shall be compared to the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Levels established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting as "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum." For a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage less than the Minimum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is zero, (B) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage equal to the Minimum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 25%, (C) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage equal to the Target, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 100%, (D) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than or equal to the Maximum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level is 200%, (E) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (F) for a Hardened Primary Poles Percentage greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum.

The "<u>Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>" is determined by comparing the Entergy System Companies' cumulative electricity delivered to the grid over the Performance Period from owned assets and through power purchase agreements derived exclusively from sources that do not emit greenhouse gases during their production of electricity ("<u>Carbon Free Generation</u>"), to the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Levels established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting as "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum." For Carbon Free Generation less than the Minimum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is zero. For Carbon-Free Generation equal to the Minimum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 25%. For Carbon-Free Generation equal to the Target, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 100%. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than or equal to the Maximum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level is 200%. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target. For Carbon-Free Generation greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level shall be multiplied by a Carbon Management Modifier between 0.91 and 1.09, based on System Company level of achievement with respect to two equally weighted carbon management objectives established by the Committee for the Performance Period at its December 4, 2025 meeting to produce the "<u>Modified Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level</u>"; provided the Committee in its discretion may elect not to apply a Carbon Management Modifier if it determines that no economic or technically viable carbon management options were available to customers during the Performance Period.

------

The final Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level for the Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of (A) sixty percent (60%) of the Climate Resilience Measure Achievement Level for the Performance Period and (B) forty percent (40%) of the Modified Carbon-Free Generation Measure Achievement Level for the Performance Period. Subject to the terms of the Plan and such adjustments as set forth in this Section 2, these determinations shall be made by the Committee in accordance with Company administrative practice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The "<u>Reliability Achievement Level"</u> is comprised of the Entergy System operating companies' combined reliability performance with respect to System Average Interruption Duration Index ("<u>SAIDI</u>") and System Average Interruption Frequency Index ("<u>SAIFI"</u>) for the Performance Period, with SAIDI and SAIFI equally weighted. The percentage improvement in SAIDI (the "<u>SAIDI Percentage Improvement</u>") and SAIFI (the "<u>SAIFI Percentage Improvement</u>"), as compared to yearend 2025 performance, shall be calculated for SAIDI and SAIFI for each year of the Performance Period and shall be compared to the "Target," "Minimum," and "Maximum" values established by the Committee at its December 4, 2025 meeting for each year of the Performance Period to determine the "<u>SAIDI Achievement Level"</u> and "<u>SAIFI Achievement Level</u>," respectively, for each year of the Performance Period. (A) For a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year less than the Minimum for that year, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is zero, (B) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Minimum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 25%, (C) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Target, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 100%, (D) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than or equal to the Maximum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year is 200%, (E) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (F) for a SAIDI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the SAIDI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The "<u>Overall SAIDI Achievement Level"</u> for the Performance Period shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the SAIDI Achievement Level for each of the three years of the Performance Period. (I) For a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year less than the Minimum for that year, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is zero, (II) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Minimum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 25%, (III) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year equal to the Target, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 100%, (IV) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than or equal to the Maximum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year is 200%, (V) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Minimum and less than the Target, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Minimum and the Target and (VI) for a SAIFI Percentage Improvement for a year greater than the Target and less than the Maximum, the SAIFI Achievement Level for that year shall be determined by straight line interpolation between the Target and the Maximum. The "<u>Overall SAIFI Achievement Level"</u> for the Performance Period shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the SAIFI Achievement Level for each of the three years of the Performance Period. The Reliability Achievement Level for the Performance Period shall be equal to the sum of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Overall SAIDI Achievement Level and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the Overall SAIFI Achievement Level.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Total Achievement Level shall be equal to the sum of (1),(2) and (3), where (1) is equal to 80% of the TSR Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.a., (2) is equal to 10% of the Environmental Stewardship Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.b., and (3) is equal to 10% of the Reliability Achievement Level, as calculated in Section 2.c, provided that the Total Achievement Level shall not exceed 200%. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Total Achievement

------

Level shall be adjusted for such items as the Committee may determine in its discretion during or after the Performance Period (but in any event before any delivery of Shares hereunder), whether resulting in an increase or decrease (including to zero (0)) in the number of Shares otherwise deliverable hereunder, considering management accountability and business rationale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Performance Units Earned.</u> The actual number of performance units awarded to you under this Agreement, if any (the "<u>Performance Units</u>"), shall be calculated by the Committee at the end of the Performance Period by multiplying the Target Performance Units by the percentage of the Total Achievement Level, determined as described in Section 2. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, to earn Performance Units you must (i) remain a full-time employee of a System Company for the entire Performance Period, (ii) maintain a System Management Level ("ML") 1-4 role (an "<u>Eligible Role</u>"), resulting in an award opportunity dependent on your specific ML role ("<u>Eligibility Level</u>"); and (iii) comply with Section 10 of this Agreement.

Except as provided below for an employee on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program under the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or the Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, if you are approved by your System Company employer for a leave of absence (whether paid or unpaid) for reasons other than Disability or you are a continuous part-time regular System Company employee participating in the phased retirement program under the Entergy System Policies & Procedures Phased Retirement – Pre-Separation Policy (the "<u>Phased Retirement Program</u>"), you will continue to be treated for purposes of the Plan and this Agreement as a full-time employee of a System Company while you are on such approved leave of absence or during such participation in the Phased Retirement Program, as applicable. If you are on an extended leave of absence bridge to retirement under an approved severance program offered pursuant to Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 537 or Entergy System Severance Pay Plan No. 538, you will not be considered under the Plan or this Agreement to be a full-time employee during the extended leave of absence bridge period or a part-time System Company employee under the Phased Retirement Program during the extended leave of absence bridge period, and your System Company employment will be considered terminated for purposes of vesting in Awards under this Agreement as of the commencement of your extended leave of absence bridge period.

If you have completed a minimum of twelve months of full-time employment in an Eligible Role during the Performance Period and you Retire, you will be eligible for a prorated portion of the applicable Achievement Level of Performance Units, based on your full months of participation and your Eligibility Level(s) during the Performance Period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, you will have "<u>Retired</u>" if you incur a separation from service with all System Companies and at the time of such separation from service, either (A) you are eligible to commence retirement benefits under a final average pay defined benefit pension formula under a System Company-sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan, (B) you have attained age 65, or (C) you have attained age 55 with at least ten (10) years of service with System Companies that is considered vesting service under the System Company-sponsored qualified defined benefit pension plan in which you actively participate or, if none, the System Company-sponsored qualified defined contribution pension plan in which you actively participate. If your employment terminates due to your incurring a Disability or you die during the Performance Period, you (or your Beneficiary or heirs) will be eligible for a prorated portion of the applicable Achievement Level of Performance Units, based on your full months of full-time employment prior to your Disability or death and your Eligibility Level(s) during the Performance Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, during the Performance Period (x) your employment is terminated for Cause or (y) the Committee or its delegee determines that you engaged in an activity that would constitute Cause, then you shall not be entitled to receive any Performance Units pursuant to this Agreement.

------

Regardless of eligibility, you shall not be entitled to receipt of nor vest in any Performance Units and/or any dividends that have accrued on any Performance Units unless and until the Talent and Compensation Committee has certified the Achievement Level after the close of the Performance Period.

If you are promoted during the Performance Period, then the number of Target Performance Units set forth on the Grant Notice shall be adjusted (but not downward) to reflect the number of full months during the Performance Period for which you were eligible hereunder in each Eligibility Level, and the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect the number of full months you earned Performance Units at each Eligibility Level.

If you are demoted during the Performance Period, but you remain in an Eligible Role following such demotion, then the number of Target Performance Units set forth on the Grant Notice shall be adjusted (but not upward) to reflect the number of full months during the Performance Period for which you were eligible hereunder in each Eligibility Level, and the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect the number of full months you earned Performance Units at each Eligibility Level.

If any change to an Eligibility Level is effective on a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you with respect to the transition month in accordance with this Section 3 will be determined based on your prior Eligibility Level.

If you are demoted to a position that is not an Eligible Role or you are otherwise no longer in an Eligible Role during the Performance Period, but remain employed on a regular full-time basis by a System Company for the duration of the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units, if any, awarded to you will be prorated to reflect only the number of full months you were employed in an Eligible Role in accordance with your Eligibility Level(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Accelerated Change in Control Vesting.</u> Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.in the event that (i) a Change in Control occurs and (ii) either (x) outstanding Target Performance Units are not assumed or substituted in connection therewith as described in Section 12(b) of the Plan, or (y) outstanding Target Performance Units are so assumed or substituted in connection therewith and your employment or service is terminated by your System Company employer without Cause or by you for Good Reason on or after the effective date of the Change in Control but prior to twenty-four (24) months following the Change in Control (the date on which (x) or (y) occurs, the "<u>CIC Vesting Date</u>"), then (A) the Committee shall calculate the Achievement Level for the Performance Period during which the CIC Vesting Date occurs treating the CIC Vesting Date as if it were the last day of the Performance Period (the "<u>CIC Achievement Level</u>") and you shall immediately become fully vested in that number of Performance Units calculated by multiplying the Adjusted Target Performance Units (as defined below) by the percentage of the Company's attained Achievement Level that is the greater of Target Achievement Level or CIC Achievement Level and (B) the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 10.b., 10.c., and 10.d. of this Agreement shall cease to apply as of the CIC Vesting Date. In the event of accelerated vesting as described in this Section 4.a., but subject to the conditions and limitations described herein and subject to Section 5 of the Plan, the Company shall pay you a number of Shares equal to the number of Performance Units that vest in accordance with this Section 4.a. no later than sixty (60) days after the CIC Vesting Date; provided, that if such 60-day period straddles two of your taxable years, the payment shall be made in the later year. "<u>Adjusted Target Performance Units</u>" means that number of units calculated by multiplying the Target Performance Units by a fraction, the numerator

------

of which is the number of days in the Performance Period up to and including the CIC Vesting Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the time and form of any payments to which you may be entitled pursuant to this Section 4 are subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in Section 22 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Dividend Equivalents.</u> If you are awarded Performance Units pursuant to this Agreement, you will also be awarded the dividend equivalents attributable to such awarded Performance Units for the time you were a Participant in an Eligible Role and at the Eligibility Level underlying such Performance Units ("<u>Dividend Equivalents</u>"). The Dividend Equivalents with respect to each awarded Performance Unit will be equal to only the dividends paid with respect to a Share for the period of your participation in the Plan at an Eligible Role during the Performance Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Settlement of Performance Units and Dividend Equivalents.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.As soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Committee determines the number of Performance Units, if any, to be awarded to you under this Agreement and no later than March 15<sup>th</sup> following the end of the calendar year in which the Performance Units are no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Company shall issue to you, after withholding all applicable income tax and employment tax amounts required to be withheld in connection with such payment in accordance with Section 6.d. of this Agreement: (i) one Share for each Performance Unit so determined to be awarded, and (ii) an additional number of Shares determined by dividing the total Dividend Equivalents with respect to such awarded Performance Units by the closing share price of a Share on the last trading date of the Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Dividend Equivalents are awarded with respect to Performance Units that are payable pursuant to Section 4.a., the number of Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 6 in respect of such Dividend Equivalents shall be calculated treating the CIC Vesting Date as the last day of the Performance Period and shall be issued no later than sixty (60) days after the CIC Vesting Date; provided, that if such 60-day period straddles two of your taxable years, such Shares shall be issued in the later year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.Shares (including any Dividend Equivalents that are settled in Shares) shall be credited to a separate book entry account in your name, and such vested Shares shall be free of all restrictions except any that may be imposed by law. Upon the crediting of vested Shares to a book entry account, you may treat the Shares in the same manner as all other shares of Common Stock owned by you, subject to the provisions of Section 6.c. below. All ML 1-4 Participants are considered Restricted Employees under Entergy's Insider Trading Policy and, as such, may trade in Entergy Corporation securities only during an open window period (and only if not in possession of material, non-public information). Generally, window periods begin on the second business day after the quarterly earnings release and end at the close of trading on the 15th day of the third month of the Company's fiscal quarter or, if such day is not a trading day, on the last preceding trading day. In addition, if you are a Restricted Employee, the Insider Trading Policy requires that you pre-clear all transactions involving Entergy securities with Entergy Corporation's Office of the General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.<u>Share Ownership Guidelines</u>. All ML 1-4 Participants must maintain the applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level in the chart below, which is expressed as a multiple of your base salary and depends on your management level.

------

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **<u>System Management Level</u>** | **<u>Common Stock Ownership Target Level</u>** |
| ML 1 | 6 times base salary |
| ML 2 | 3 times base salary |
| ML 3 | 2 times base salary |
| ML 4 | 1 times base salary |

---

These ownership multiples may be satisfied through any shares of Common Stock held by you, including, but not limited to, those Shares earned with respect to this Performance Period, Restricted Shares on which restrictions have not yet lifted, and shares of Common Stock held in tax-qualified 401(k) plans. You must continue to retain the book entry Shares issued to you pursuant to this Agreement until the earlier of (i) achieving and maintaining your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, or (ii) your termination of full-time employment with all System Companies. Once you have achieved and maintain your applicable Common Stock Ownership Target Level, you are no longer bound to hold the Shares earned with respect to this Performance Period in book entry. However, you are still subject to the trading restrictions and pre-clearance requirements in transacting in these Shares described in Section 6.b. of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d.<u>Withholding Taxes</u>. The Company shall use the "net shares method" to satisfy any tax withholding obligation in respect of any payment under this Agreement, which means the Company will reduce the number of earned Shares otherwise payable to you by the amount necessary to cover up to the maximum amount of such obligation in any applicable jurisdiction. In no event shall the Company or any other System Company have any liability to you for your individual income tax liability, for withholding or failing to withhold taxes, or for remitting or failing to remit taxes with respect to your income, including without limitation, in the event that you are subject to penalty tax or premium interest tax pursuant to Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.<u>No Fractional Shares</u>. Any fractional Share to be distributed shall be settled in cash and applied to satisfy tax withholding requirements. The Company will not deliver any fractional Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Agreement.</u> Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Plan, this Agreement (other than the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 10) and your Target Performance Units award opportunity shall terminate and be forfeited on the date on which your full-time System Company employment terminates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Performance Units Nontransferable.</u> Your Target Performance Units award opportunity and any Performance Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement may not be sold, exchanged, pledged, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, hypothecated or disposed of by you (or your beneficiary) other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Entergy Policies.</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.<u>Hedging Policy</u>. Pursuant to the Entergy Corporation Policy Relating to Hedging, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on December 3, 2010, and as in effect on the date hereof, officers, directors and employees are prohibited from entering into hedging or monetization transactions involving Common Stock so they continue to own Common Stock with the full risks and rewards of ownership, thereby ensuring continued alignment of their objectives with the Company's other shareholders. Participation in any hedging transaction with respect to Common Stock (including Target Performance Units or Performance Units) is prohibited.

The Performance Units (and Shares issued in payment of Performance Units) are subject to forfeiture and recovery by the Company pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation (i) any policy that the Company has adopted or may adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, including the Entergy System Policy Regarding Recoupment of Certain Compensation, as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on October 27, 2023, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof ("<u>Recoupment Policy</u>"), (ii) the Entergy System Discretionary Recoupment Policy Regarding Detrimental Conduct ("<u>Detrimental Conduct Policy</u>"), as adopted by the Board at its meeting held on January 26, 2024, as may have been amended and as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) as otherwise required by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) pursuant to the Recoupment Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of certain incentive compensation from "executive officers," as defined in the Recoupment Policy, if the Company is required to restate its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws; or there is a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation, regardless of whether the Company's financial statements are restated; or the Board determines that an executive officer engaged in fraud resulting in either a restatement of the Company's financial statements or a material miscalculation of a performance measure relative to incentive compensation whether or not the financial statements were restated, and (B) pursuant to the Detrimental Conduct Policy, the Company is allowed to seek reimbursement of incentive compensation from any ML 1-4 officer who engages in certain detrimental conduct, including commission of a felony or other crime that affects the officer's ability to perform their duties; fraud in contravention of the officer's duties to the enterprise; unauthorized disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of an Entergy System company or material violation of a material written Entergy System company policy or material agreement between the officer and an Entergy System company in either case that results in, or could have resulted in, termination for Cause or that results in significant financial or operational loss, or significant reputational harm to the Company; and any other conduct that the officer knew or should have known could result in termination for Cause (regardless of whether it does) and that results in significant financial or operational loss or significant reputational harm to the Company. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that a payment is made to you (whether in cash, stock or other property) in error that exceeds the amount to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan, including without limitation pursuant to Section 28 of the Plan (such excess amount, an "<u>Excess Payment</u>"), you will repay to the Company, and the Company shall have the right to recoup from you such Excess Payment by notifying you in writing of the nature and amount of such Excess Payment together with (i) demand for direct repayment to the Company by you in the amount of such Excess Payment or (ii) reduction of any amount(s) owed to you by the Company or any other System Company by the amount of the Excess Payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;e.<u>System Company Property</u>. All tangible materials, equipment, devices, documents, copies of documents, data compilations (in whatever form), software programs, and electronically created or stored materials that you receive or create in the course of employment with a System Company are and shall remain the property of the System Company and you shall immediately return (and/or cooperate in the supervised deletion of) such property to your System Company employer upon the termination of your employment, for whatever reason. The obligation to return property and documents extends to anything received or made during and as a result of employment by a System Company, regardless of whether it was received from a System Company or a third party, such as an actual or potential vendor or customer, and regardless of whether a document contains Confidential Information. The only documents not subject to the obligation to return are documents directly relating to your compensation and benefits, such as your pay stubs and benefit plan information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;f.<u>Violation of the Restrictive Covenant Section</u>. In the event that you violate any provision of this Section 10, the time periods set forth in those paragraphs shall be extended for the period of time you remain in violation of the provisions, to the greatest extent allowed by applicable law. The provisions of Sections 10.a. through 10.e. hereof are, and shall be construed as, independent covenants, and no claimed or actual breach of any contractual or legal duty by any System Company shall excuse or terminate your obligations hereunder or preclude any System Company from obtaining injunctive relief for your violation, or threatened violation, of any of those provisions. You also agree to indemnify and hold the System Companies harmless from any and all losses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses incurred to enforce this Agreement) suffered by any System Company as a result of any violation or threatened violation of any of your representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings set forth in this Agreement (in addition to any other remedies available to the System Companies set forth in Section 10.i. below), provided that a System Company is found to be the prevailing party in any such action.

With the exception of Confidential Information subject to the attorney-client privilege, you shall have no obligation to seek prior approval of any System Company or to inform any System Company of such disclosure. This Agreement does not limit your ability to communicate, without notice to any System Company, with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, or to collect a reward in connection with any whistleblower information provided to a government agency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Defend Trade Secrets Act Immunity Notice.* Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, non-compliance with the disclosure provisions of this Agreement shall not subject you to criminal or civil liability under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a System Company trade secret: (A) in confidence to a Federal, State or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney in confidence solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided that any complaint or document containing the trade secret is filed under seal; or (C) to an attorney representing you in a lawsuit for retaliation by any System Company for reporting a suspected violation of law or to use the trade secret information in that court proceeding, provided that any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All applicable laws with regard to restrictive covenants (including those of the State of California) are incorporated by reference herein and shall be treated as a part of this Section 10. Accordingly, in the event of an inconsistency between any provision of this Section 10 and an applicable legal requirement, the applicable legal requirement shall apply and this Section 10 shall be interpreted to require only such restrictions as are permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;h.<u>Restrictive Covenants Contained in Other Agreements</u>. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that you are or become subject to any other agreement with a System Company that contains restrictive covenants different from the restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement, the restrictive covenants set forth in such other agreement shall supplement, and shall not replace, the restrictive covenants herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.<u>Enforcement</u>. You hereby agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 10 are reasonable with respect to their scope, duration, and geographical area. You further agree and acknowledge that the restrictions contained in Section 10 do not and would not unreasonably impose limitations on your ability to earn a living. If any court or other tribunal determines that any term or

------

provision of Section 10 is overbroad or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, you and the Company hereby agree that such court or tribunal shall have the power and obligation to narrow or otherwise reform the unenforceable term or provision, including to delete, replace, or add specific words or phrases, but only to the narrowest extent necessary to render the provision valid and enforceable (provided that in no event shall the length of any restrictive covenant or its scope be extended or expanded), and this Agreement shall be fully enforceable as so modified. Your agreement to the restrictions provided for in this Agreement and the Company's agreement to grant the Award are mutually dependent consideration. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if (i) the enforceability of any material restriction applicable to you as provided for in this Section 10 is challenged and found unenforceable by a court or other tribunal or (ii) you breach any of the provisions of Section 10, then the Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and recover from you all Shares paid to you pursuant to this Agreement and if you have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of any Shares paid to you pursuant to this Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Shares on the date such Shares were paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. This provision shall be construed as a return of consideration or ill-gotten gains due to the failure of your promises and consideration under the Agreement, and not as a liquidated damages clause. In addition, in the event of the Company's termination of this Agreement, you shall immediately forfeit all unvested Target Performance Units and your Target Performance Units award opportunity under this Agreement. You further hereby agree that, in the event of a breach by you of any of the provisions of Sections 10.a., 10.b., 10.c., 10.d., or 10.e., monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Company or a System Company may, in addition to and without prejudice to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages and without having to demonstrate that money damages would be inadequate. You acknowledge (i) that you have carefully read this Agreement and have given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon you by this Agreement, and you are in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of the Confidential Information of the System Companies and their relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners and (ii) that you are informed in writing hereby that you have a right to the advice of legal counsel and should consult with an attorney of your choice with regard to this Agreement, and you have been provided ample opportunity to seek out and consult with such counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;j.<u>Third Party Beneficiaries; Survival of Restrictive Covenants</u>. For purposes of this Section 10, "<u>Company</u>" shall include Entergy and all other System Companies. You and the Company agree that each System Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 10, and further agree that each System Company is entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 10 in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force according to their respective terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;k.<u>Duty to Notify Prospective Employers of Restrictive Covenants</u>. In the twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment with your last System Company employer, in the event you seek or obtain employment or another business affiliation with any person or entity other than a System Company, you agree to notify the Company in writing, as far in advance as is reasonably practicable, but in no event less than two weeks prior to your proposed commencement of employment, of the details of such employment or business affiliation. You also agree to show these restrictive covenant provisions to any prospective employer, and you consent to any System Company showing these provisions to any third party believed by a System Company to be a prospective or actual employer of

------

you, or a receiver of services from you, and to insisting on your compliance with these terms. Your obligations under this Section 10.k. will expire on that date which is twelve months after the end of your employment with all System Companies (or, if later, the last date as of which you are scheduled to receive separation payments from any System Company pursuant to a severance plan or other agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;l.<u>Validity</u>. Except as specifically provided in Section 10.i. of this Agreement, the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law/Court Proceedings.</u> This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law of such state. Any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or with respect to this Agreement, its enforcement, breach, or interpretation, shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, and you and the Company hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and its appellate court, whether or not located in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any such suit, action, or proceeding. You and the Company hereby irrevocably waive (i) any objections which each may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, County of New Castle, (ii) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iii) any right to a jury trial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Incorporation of Plan.</u> The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, and the Target Performance Units, your Target Performance Units award opportunity under this Agreement, any Performance Units (and any Dividend Equivalents) awarded pursuant to this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amendment provisions thereof, and to such rules, regulations and interpretations relating to the Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in effect from time to time. Any capitalized term that is not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly, unless the Plan allows for such modification of the Plan's terms by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Amendments.</u> This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rights as a Shareholder.</u> Neither you nor any of your successors in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Target Performance Units, your Target Performance Units award opportunity under this Agreement, Performance Units awarded pursuant to this Agreement, or Dividend Equivalents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered personally or by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, if to you, to your last known address filed in the personnel records of the System Companies, and if to the Company, to the address set forth below, or thereafter to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon actual receipt thereof:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agreement Not a Contract of Employment.</u> Your employment with your System Company employer shall remain at will. Neither the Plan, the granting of the Target Performance Units and/or Dividend Equivalents, the Grant Notice, this Agreement nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that you have a right to continue as an employee of any System Company for any period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Authority of the Committee.</u> The Committee shall have full authority and discretion to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan, the Grant Notice, and this Agreement. The determination of the Committee as to any such matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and conclusive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compliance with Code Section 409A Limitations.</u> Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, all provisions of the Grant Notice and this Agreement shall be construed, administered and interpreted to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, and, if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Code Section 409A or final regulations issued thereunder. Specifically, the terms "termination" and "termination of employment" shall be applied in a manner consistent with the definition of "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A. A right of any System Company, if any, to offset or otherwise reduce any sums that may be due or become payable by any System Company to you by any overpayment or indebtedness of yours shall be subject to limitations imposed by Code Section 409A. For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation for purposes of applying the Code Section 409A deferral election rules and the exclusion from Code Section 409A for certain short-term deferral amounts. Amounts payable under this Agreement shall be excludible from the requirements of Code Section 409A, to the maximum possible extent, either as (i) short-term deferral amounts (e.g., amounts payable no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the taxable year of your System Company employer in which such Performance Units are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture), or (ii) under the exclusion for involuntary separation pay provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). To the extent that deferred compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A becomes payable under this Agreement to you at a time when you are a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), any such payments shall be delayed by six months to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in the Plan or this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Code Section 409A from applying to any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Breach; Waiver</u>. If Grantee fails to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement or the Plan, Grantee shall not be entitled to the Award, as Company may determine in its sole discretion. Any term or provision of this Agreement may only be waived by a System Company. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently given for the purposes of this Agreement if it is in writing signed by an authorized Company officer. The failure of any System Company to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any System Company thereafter to enforce

------

each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Headings</u>. The titles and headings of the sections in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form part of this Agreement, and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Electronic Signature</u>. Electronic signature of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by hand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement (including the Plan) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior undertakings and agreements between the Company and its Affiliates and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Prospectus</u>. This Agreement constitutes part of a prospectus covering Securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The remaining documents constituting the prospectus are available on Entergy Corporation's intranet under Our Company, Human Resources, Money & Finances, Compensation, Equity https://entergy.sharepoint.com/sites/myhra/myBenefits/Pages/Compensation.aspx.
