Awards under Entergy’s plans generally vest over three years. Stock Options Entergy granted 611,700 stock options during the first quarter 2014 with a weighted-average fair value of $8.71 per option. At June 30, 2014, there are 8,895,078 stock options outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $81.10.

The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding was $8.8 million as of June 30, 2014.

Other Equity Plans In January 2014 the Board approved and Entergy granted 352,600 restricted stock awards and 226,792 long-term incentive awards under the 2011 Equity Ownership and Long-term Cash Incentive Plan. The restricted stock awards were made effective as of January 30, 2014 and were valued at $63.17 per share, which was the closing price of Entergy’s common stock on that date. One-third of the restricted stock awards will vest upon each anniversary of the grant date. The long-term incentive awards are granted in the form of performance units, which are equal to the cash value of shares of Entergy Corporation at the end of the performance period, which is the last day of the year. The performance units were made effective as of January 30, 2014 and were valued at $67.16 per share. Entergy considers various factors, primarily market conditions, in determining the value of the performance units. Shares of the restricted stock awards have the same dividend and voting rights as other common stock, are considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the 3-year vesting period. Shares of the performance units have the same dividend rights as other common stock, are considered issued and outstanding shares of Entergy upon vesting, and are expensed ratably over the 3-year vesting period.
