Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements

No director or officer of Entergy or any of the Registrant Subsidiaries adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” during the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Retail Rate Regulation

The following is an update to the “Retail Rate Regulation” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

Entergy Louisiana

Fuel and Purchased Power Cost Recovery

As discussed in the Form 10-K, to help stabilize electricity costs, Entergy Louisiana received approval from the LPSC to hedge its exposure to natural gas price volatility through the use of financial instruments. In May 2024, following the conclusion of its five-year hedging program, Entergy Louisiana filed an application with the LPSC for a permanent hedging program. The permanent gas hedging program would also utilize financial hedges for a portion of Entergy Louisiana’s non-industrial natural gas exposure. In May 2026, Entergy Louisiana and the LPSC staff filed a proposed stipulated settlement agreement for LPSC consideration. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the LPSC would find that the proposed permanent gas hedging program was in the public interest and approve the implementation of a rider mechanism to refund the costs and benefits of the hedging program in customer rates. In June 2026 the LPSC approved the proposed settlement. A written order was issued in July 2026.

Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry

The following is an update to the “Regulation of the Nuclear Power Industry” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

NRC Reactor Oversight Process

The NRC’s Reactor Oversight Process is a program to collect information about plant performance, assess the information for its safety significance, and provide for appropriate licensee and NRC response. The NRC evaluates plant performance by analyzing two distinct inputs: inspection findings resulting from the NRC’s inspection program and performance indicators reported by the licensee. The evaluations result in the placement of each plant in one of the NRC’s Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix columns: “licensee response column,” or Column 1, “regulatory response column,” or Column 2, “degraded cornerstone column,” or Column 3, “multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone column,” or Column 4, and “unacceptable performance,” or Column 5. Plants in Column 1 are subject to normal NRC inspection activities. Plants in Column 2, Column 3, or Column 4 are subject to progressively increasing levels of inspection by the NRC with, in general, progressively increasing levels of associated costs. Continued plant operation is not permitted for plants in Column 5. All of the nuclear generating plants owned and operated by Entergy’s Utility business are currently in Column 1, except Grand Gulf, which is in Column 2.

In April 2026 the NRC issued a final significance determination and notice of violation for Grand Gulf, in which it finalized a “white” finding with “low safety significance” related to one of Grand Gulf’s emergency diesel generators, resulting in Grand Gulf’s placement in Column 2, effective first quarter 2026.  Grand Gulf will remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.

In July 2026 the NRC issued an inspection report for River Bend, in which it identified a preliminary “white” finding with “low safety significance” related to one of the service water pumps at River Bend. The NRC is continuing its evaluation of the issue and is expected to complete its determination during third quarter 2026. If

the NRC’s review results in a final “white” finding, River Bend would be placed in Column 2 and would remain in Column 2 until the satisfactory completion of an NRC supplemental inspection.

Environmental Regulation

The following are updates to the “Environmental Regulation” section of Part I, Item 1 of the Form 10-K.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

Revised Fine Particulate (PM2.5) NAAQS

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in March 2024 the EPA issued a final rule which revised the primary annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter, also known as PM2.5, from 12 ug/m3 to 9 ug/m3. Initial attainment/nonattainment designations for areas with available information were required within two years of the rule’s issuance. A coalition of 24 states challenged the 2024 rule in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals; however, that challenge has been held in abeyance pending the agency’s reconsideration of the rule. In November 2025 the EPA filed a motion asking the D.C. Circuit to vacate the agency’s 2024 revision of the PM2.5 NAAQS which lowered the primary standard to 9 ug/m3. In June 2026 the D.C. Circuit denied EPA’s motion to vacate and denied the petitions for review filed by the coalition. As a result the 2024 standard of 9 ug/m3 remains in effect.

Coal Combustion Residuals

As discussed in the Form 10-K, in April 2015 the EPA published the final coal combustion residuals (CCR) rule (2015 CCR Rule) regulating CCRs destined for disposal in landfills or surface impoundments as non-hazardous wastes regulated under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Subtitle D. The final regulations created new compliance requirements including modified storage, new notification and reporting practices, product disposal considerations, and CCR unit closure criteria but excluded CCRs that are beneficially reused in certain processes. Entergy believes that on-site disposal options will be available at its facilities, to the extent needed.

In May 2024 the EPA finalized a rule (2024 CCR Rule) establishing management standards for legacy CCR surface impoundments (i.e., inactive surface impoundments at inactive power plants) and establishing a new class of units referred to as CCR management units (CCRMUs) (i.e., non-containerized CCR located at a regulated CCR facility). CCR utilized in roadbeds and embankments is excluded from the CCRMU definition. Entergy does not have any legacy impoundments; however, the definition of CCRMUs includes on-site areas where CCR was beneficially used. This is contrary to the 2015 CCR Rule which exempted beneficial uses that met certain criteria. Under this expanded rule, all facilities were required to identify and delineate any CCRMU greater than one ton and submit a facility evaluation report by February 2026. Any potential requirements for corrective action or operational changes under the 2015 CCR Rule and the 2024 CCR Rule continue to be assessed. Notably, ongoing litigation has resulted in the EPA’s continuing review of the rules. In February 2026, as part of its stated deregulatory agenda, the EPA finalized a rule extending various deadlines, including the facility evaluation report Parts 1 and 2 deadlines by one year, until February 2027 and February 2028, respectively. In April 2026 the EPA issued a proposed rule amending several provisions of the existing CCR regulations including, among other things, a rescission or alternative revision of the CCRMU requirements, revisions to the legacy CCR surface impoundment provisions, and revisions to the beneficial use definition. Comments were due in June 2026 and final action is expected by the end of 2026.
