Public offering priceUnderwriting discount Proceeds to Entergy Corporation, before expenses(1) (1)We expect to receive net proceeds, before expenses, from the sale of our common stock of approximately $2.132billion ($2.451billion if the underwriters’ option to purchaseadditional shares of our common stock is exercised in full, as described in detail below) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which we expect to occur on orprior to April30, 2028. For purposes of calculating the estimated net proceeds to us, we have assumed that the forward sale agreements are fully physically settled based on the initialforward sale price of $110.74 per share, which is equal to the public offering price per share less the underwriting discount shown above. The forward sale price is subject toadjustment pursuant to the forward sale agreements, and the actual proceeds, if any, will be calculated as described in this prospectus supplement. Although we expect to settle theforward sale agreements entirely by the full physical delivery of shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers in exchange for cash proceeds, we may elect cash settlement ornet share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under one or more forward sale agreements, in which case we may receive no cash proceeds or substantially less cashproceeds than is reflected in the above table upon settlement, or we may be required to deliver cash or shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers. See “Underwriting(Conflicts of Interest)—Forward Sale Agreements” for a description of the forward sale agreements. We have granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30days from the date of this prospectus supplement to purchase up to an additional 2,887,168shares of our common stockat a price of $110.74 per share. If such option is exercised, we may, in our sole discretion, enter into additional forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers in
