EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-213335, 333-213335-01, 333-213335-02, 333-213335-03, 333-213335-04, 333-213335-05 and 333-213335-06) (the “Registration Statement”) initially filed on August 26, 2016 by Entergy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Entergy”), Entergy Arkansas, Inc., an Arkansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“EAI”), Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and a majority-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“ELL”), Entergy Mississippi, Inc., a Mississippi corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“EMI”), Entergy New Orleans, Inc., a Louisiana corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“ENOI”), Entergy Texas, Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“ETI”), and System Energy Resources, Inc., an Arkansas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy (“SERI”), and immediately declared effective upon filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, is being filed solely to deregister the unsold first mortgage bonds of ENOI.

Pursuant to the Registration Statement, ENOI registered an unspecified aggregate initial offering of its first mortgage bonds. ENOI’s offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement have been terminated. In accordance with an undertaking made by ENOI in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remained unsold at the termination of the offering, ENOI hereby removes from registration any of its first mortgage bonds registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the filing date of this Post-Effective Amendment.

This Post-Effective Amendment is separately filed by Entergy, EAI, ELL, EMI, ENOI, ETI and SERI on a combined basis. As to each registrant, the Registration Statement consists solely of the prospectus of such registrant (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) other than ENOI, which is deregistering its unsold first mortgage bonds, and the information set forth in Part II of the Registration Statement that is applicable to such registrant. No registrant makes any representation as to the information relating to the other registrants, except to the extent that such information is included in the portion of the Registration Statement relating to such registrant.
