As of June 30, 2024, an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $2 billion has been sold under the at the market equity distribution program.

Each 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 applicable agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 284,922 shares and 1,160,415 shares, respectively, of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $29.3 million and $119.2 million, respectively. In connection with the sales of these shares, Entergy Corporation paid the forward seller fees of approximately $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy Corporation did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares.

In May 2024, Entergy Corporation entered into two separate forward sale agreements for 1,278,416 shares and 1,233,235 shares of common stock, respectively. No amounts have been or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offerings until settlements of the equity forward sale agreements occur. The forward sale agreements require Entergy Corporation to, at its election prior to July 31, 2025, either (i) physically settle the transactions by issuing the total of 1,278,416 shares and 1,233,235 shares, respectively, of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the applicable agreement (initially approximately $110.32 and $107.93 per share, respectively) or (ii) net settle the applicable transaction in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of cash or shares. Each 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 applicable agreement. In connection with the forward sale agreements, the forward seller, or its affiliates, borrowed from third parties and sold 1,278,416 shares and 1,233,235 shares, respectively, of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $142.4 million and $134.4 million, respectively. In connection with the sales of these shares, Entergy Corporation paid the forward
seller fees of approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which have not been deducted from the gross sales price. Entergy Corporation did not receive any proceeds from such sales of borrowed shares.

In June 2024, Entergy Corporation entered into a forward sale agreement for 1,070,003 shares of common stock. No amounts have been or will be recorded on Entergy’s balance sheet with respect to the equity offering until settlement of the equity forward sale agreement occurs. The forward sale agreement requires Entergy Corporation to, at its election prior to July 31, 2025, either (i) physically settle the transaction by issuing the total of 1,070,003 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 $106.12 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 1,070,003 shares of Entergy Corporation’s common stock. The gross sales price of these shares totaled approximately $114.5 million. In connection with the sale of these shares, Entergy Corporation paid the forward seller fees of approximately $1.1 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 agreements occurs, earnings per share dilution resulting from the agreements, if any, is determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of Entergy Corporation’s common stock is higher than the average forward sales price. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 1,094,239 shares and 156,101 shares, respectively, under current and then-outstanding forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 1,502,247 and 78,050 shares, respectively, under current and then-outstanding forward sale agreements were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive.
