On February 25, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Entergy Corporation (the Company”) elected M. Elise Hyland to the Board, effective March 4, 2019. Ms. Hyland was elected to serve until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and will be included among the nominees for election by the shareholders at that meeting.

In connection with the election of Ms. Hyland, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board to 10 members, also effective March 4, 2019.

Prior to her retirement in 2018, Ms. Hyland, 59, served as Senior Vice President of EQT Corporation and Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of EQT Midstream Services, LLC.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Hyland and any other person pursuant to which she was elected as a director of the Company.
