Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities (1)

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 2022, Entergy withheld 79,738 shares of its common stock at $110.35 per share, 77,207 shares of its common stock at $111.16 per share, 35,940 shares of its common stock at $111.77 per share, 1,219 shares of its common stock at $109.01 per share, 577 shares of its common stock at $106.62 per share, 232 shares of its common stock at $110.77 per share, 87 shares of its common stock at $109.01 per share, and 82 shares of its common stock at $111.47 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.
