Filing individual terminated se
rvice with the Company on May 15, 2003.  Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Equity Awards Program within the Equity Ownership Plan, the filing individual's 911 phantom units in this program were distributed as follows:  60% of the units were converted to common shares as reflected on Table I (547 shares) and 40% of the units were paid in cash and used to pay tax withholding (364 units).  These sales are exempt from Section 16(b) under Rule 16b-3.</footnote><footnote id="F2">Filing individual terminated his employment on May 15, 2003.  As provided in the Company's Equity Ownership Plan, he had previously deferred his gain from Stock-for-Stock option exercises into phantom units held in a brokerage account.  Upon termination of employment, the value of all phantom units in his brokerage account must be immediately distributed in cash.  The value of the phantom units is based on the closing price on the day of termination.  Note:  Filing individual had a balance of 1,259 Entergy shares in his Savings Plan a
s of March 31, 2003.</footnote></footnotes><ownerSignature><signatureName>Christopher T. Screen for Geoffrey D. Roberts</signatureName><signatureDate>2003-05-21</signatureDate></ownerSignature></ownershipDocument>
