Equity Distribution Program In January 2021, Entergy entered into an equity distribution sales agreement with several counterparties establishing an at the market equity distribution program, pursuant to which Entergy may offer and sell from time to time shares of its common stock. The sales agreement provides that, in addition to the issuance and sale of shares of Entergy common stock, Entergy may enter into forward sale agreements for the sale of its common stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock sold under this sales agreement and under any forward sale agreement may not exceed an aggregate gross sales price of $2 billion. As of June 30, 2023, shares at an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $1,126 million have been sold under the at the market equity distribution program. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no shares of common stock issued under the at the market equity distribution program. In March 2022, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 1,538,010 shares of common stock. No amounts were recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occurred in November 2022. The forward sale agreement required Entergy to, at its election prior to September 29, 2023, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 1,538,010 shares of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially approximately $108.14 per share) or (ii) net settle the transaction in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. The forward sale price was subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 1,538,010 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $168 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $1.7 million, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. In June 2022, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 2,124,086 shares of common stock. No amounts were recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occurred in November 2022. The forward sale agreement required Entergy to, at its election prior to December 29, 2023, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 2,124,086 shares of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially approximately $116.94 per share) or (ii) net settle the transaction in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. The forward sale price was subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 2,124,086 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $250.9 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $2.5 million, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. In November 2022, Entergy physically settled its obligations under the then-outstanding forward sale agreements by delivering 7,688,419 shares of common stock in exchange for cash proceeds of $853.3 million. See Note 7 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the common stock issued and forward sale agreements settled under the at the market equity distribution program. In June 2023, Entergy entered into forward sale agreements for 102,995 and 365,307 shares of common stock. No amounts have been or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offerings until settlements of the equity forward sale agreements occur. The forward sale agreements require Entergy to, at its election prior to May 31, 2024 or June 28, 2024, respectively, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 102,995 and 365,307 shares, respectively, of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially approximately $101.36 and $101.39 per share, respectively) or (ii) net settle the transaction in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. Each forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 102,995 and 365,307 shares, respectively, of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $10.5 million and $37.4 million, respectively. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, will be determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Entergy’s common stock is higher than the average forward sales price. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 468,302 shares and 956,989 shares, respectively, under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 1,538,010 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $168 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $1.7 million, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. In June 2022, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 2,124,086 shares of common stock. No amounts were recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occurred in November 2022.

In June 2023, Entergy entered into forward sale agreements for 102,995 and 365,307 shares of common stock. No amounts have been or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offerings until settlements of the equity forward sale agreements occur. The forward sale agreements require Entergy to, at its election prior to May 31, 2024 or June 28, 2024, respectively, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 102,995 and 365,307 shares, respectively, of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially approximately $101.36 and $101.39 per share, respectively) or (ii) net settle the transaction in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. Each forward sale price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other fixed amounts specified in the agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 102,995 and 365,307 shares, respectively, of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $10.5 million and $37.4 million, respectively. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares. Until settlement of the forward sale agreements, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, will be determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Entergy’s common stock is higher than the average forward sales price. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 468,302 shares and 956,989 shares, respectively, under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
