In connection with the offering, Entergy expects to enter into forward sale agreements with each of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Citibank, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC and The Bank of Nova Scotia (the “forward counterparties”) under which Entergy will agree to issue and sell to the forward counterparties an aggregate of $2,175,000,000 of shares of its common stock at an initial forward sale price per share equal to the price per share at which the underwriters purchase the shares in the offering, subject to certain adjustments, upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements.

Settlement of the forward sale agreements is expected to occur on or prior to April 30, 2028. Entergy may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of its rights or obligations under the forward sale agreements.
