Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On October 30, 2015, the Board of Directors of Entergy Corporation (“Entergy”) elected Paul D. Hinnenkamp to serve as Entergy’s Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer effective November 1st. Mr. Hinnenkamp, age 54, currently serves as Senior Vice President, Capital Project Management & Technology, a position he has held since April 2015. Previously, Mr. Hinnenkamp served as Vice President, Capital Project Management & Technology from March 2013 to April 2015 and as Vice President, Generation Development & Support from May 2010 to March 2013.

Upon his appointment as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Hinnenkamp’s annual base salary will increase to $430,000 from $356,380. He will continue to be eligible for an annual cash bonus target under Entergy's Annual Incentive Plan equal to 60% of his base salary and to receive awards of performance units, restricted stock and stock options under Entergy’s 2015 Equity Ownership Plan. The grants and awards to be made under this program will be determined in conjunction with Entergy’s normal annual compensation review process. Mr. Hinnenkamp will continue to participate in other compensation and benefit programs made generally available to other senior Entergy executives from time to time. 

In addition, in connection with his appointment as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Hinnenkamp was awarded 9,000 restricted stock units effective April 1, 2016. Contingent on Mr. Hinnenkamp’s continued service as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the restricted stock units will vest in three equal annual installments and will settle in stock at the time of vesting. Each restricted stock unit is the equivalent of one share of Entergy’s common stock.

Also effective November 1st, Mr. Hinnenkamp was elected as a director of Entergy Louisiana, LLC, an Entergy subsidiary (“ELA”), by its sole shareholder, Entergy Utility Holding Company, LLC. Mr. Hinnenkamp will not receive any additional compensation for his service as a director of ELA.
