**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers**

On July 25, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Entergy Corporation (the Company") elected R. Lewis Ropp to the Board, effective August 15, 2025, to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). The Board also determined that Mr. Ropp qualifies as an independent director under the New York Stock Exchange rules and the Company's corporate governance guidelines. In connection with the election of Mr. Ropp, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board to 11 members. Mr. Ropp will serve on the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance Committee.

Mr. Ropp, 66, is a retired Senior Managing Director and Senior Equity Partner of Barrow Hanley Global Investors, a diversified investment management firm ("Barrow Hanley"), where he served as a Lead Equity Portfolio Manager involved in strategy, new business development, marketing, and client service, from October 2001 until June 2024. During his time at Barrow Hanley, Mr. Ropp also served as a member of the Executive Committee from 2017 to 2024. Prior to joining Barrow Hanley, Mr. Ropp was a research analyst covering exploration and production companies at Howard, Weil, Labouisse, Freidrichs, Inc., from 1998 to 1999, and at Frost Securities, Inc., from 1999 to 2001, where he served as a managing director. Mr. Ropp began his career in 1981 in the oil and gas industry as an operations manager at The Hargett Companies (later acquired by Weatherford, Inc.) and subsequently held positions as an associate project engineer at Baker Hughes Company and process team leader at Shell Oil Company from 1990 to 1997 where he oversaw field development, evaluation, well stimulation and workover, economics, and completion design. Mr. Ropp has served on the board of directors of Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation, a publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company, and as a member of its audit committee since January 2025.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Ropp and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director of the Company. In connection with his appointment and service on the Board, Mr. Ropp will be entitled to receive the same compensation as all other non-employee directors of the Company, including receiving a pro rata portion of such compensation for the period from the effective date of his election through the date of the Annual Meeting.
