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. Initially, the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold under this sales agreement and under any forward sale agreement could not exceed an aggregate gross sales price of $1 billion. In May 2022, Entergy increased by $1 billion the aggregate gross sales price authorized under the at the market equity distribution program. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $884 million has been sold under the at the market equity distribution program. See Note 7 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for discussion of the common stock issued and unsettled forward sale agreements entered into during 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no shares of common stock issued under the at the market equity distribution program. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Entergy Corporation issued 265,468 shares of common stock under the at the market equity distribution program. The net sales proceeds from these shares totaled $26.8 million, which includes the gross sales price of $28.2 million received by Entergy Corporation less $1.1 million of general issuance costs and $0.3 million of aggregate compensation to the agents with respect to such sales.

In June 2022, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 2,124,086 shares of common stock. No amounts have or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occur. The forward sale agreement requires 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 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 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 March 2022, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 1,538,010 shares of common stock. No amounts have or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occur. The forward sale agreement requires 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 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 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 2021, Entergy entered into a forward sale agreement for 416,853 shares of common stock. No amounts have or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occur. The forward sale agreement requires Entergy to, at its election prior to September 30, 2022, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 416,853 shares of its common stock to the investment bank in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially $106.87 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 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 agreement, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 416,853 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled $45 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $0.5 million, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy Corporation did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares.

Until settlement of the forward sale agreement, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreement, 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, 2022, approximately 1 million shares under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Treasury Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Entergy Corporation issued 763,847 shares of its previously repurchased common stock to satisfy stock option exercises, vesting of shares of restricted stock, and other stock-based awards.  Entergy Corporation did not repurchase any of its common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The forward sale agreement requires Entergy to, at its election prior to September 30, 2022, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 416,853 shares of its common stock to the investment bank in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement (initially $106.87 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 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 agreement, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 416,853 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled $45 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy paid the forward sellers fees of approximately $0.5 million, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy Corporation did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares.

Until settlement of the forward sale agreement, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreement, 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, 2022, approximately 1 million shares under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Treasury Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Entergy Corporation issued 763,847 shares of its previously repurchased common stock to satisfy stock option exercises, vesting of shares of restricted stock, and other stock-based awards.  Entergy Corporation did not repurchase any of its common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Retained Earnings

On July 29, 2022, Entergy Corporation’s Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $1.01 per share, payable on September 1, 2022 to holders of record as of August 11, 2022.

Initially, the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold under this sales agreement and under any forward sale agreement could not exceed an aggregate gross sales price of $1 billion. In May 2022, Entergy increased by $1 billion the aggregate gross sales price authorized under the at the market equity distribution program. As of June 30, 2022, an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $884 million has been sold under the at the market equity distribution program.

No amounts have or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlements of the equity forward sale agreement occur. The forward sale agreement requires 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 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.

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.

The 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, approximately 1 million shares under the forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
