Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 25, 2010, Enexus Energy Corporation (“Enexus”), a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation
(“Entergy”), executed Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the $1,200,000,000 Credit Agreement
dated December 23, 2008, by and among the lenders and issuers from time to time party thereto;
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as joint book runners and
joint lead arrangers; BNP Paribas, as administrative agent; The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company
of New York, as collateral agent; and Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd, as syndication agent, as amended
by Amendment No. 1 dated October 1, 2009. The Amendment provides for an alternative consolidated
total leverage ratio in the event of certain outages at an Enexus nuclear plant.
As previously announced, Entergy’s Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation of its
Non-Utility Nuclear business from Entergy into a separate publicly-traded company (the “spin-off”).
The spin-off is expected to be tax-free to Entergy and its shareholders and is subject to certain
conditions precedent, including regulatory approvals and the final approval of the Entergy Board of
Directors.
Enexus will not be permitted to draw down on the $1,200,000,000 amount until certain customary and
transactional conditions are met on or prior to July 1, 2010, including the consummation of the
internal reorganization of Entergy’s Non-Utility Nuclear business prior to the spin-off.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by Amendment No. 2 attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
