Item 5.   Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

In accordance with Entergy's stock option plans, the company
periodically grants stock options to employees, which they may, from
time to time, exercise to obtain shares of Entergy common stock. In
order to reduce the increase in outstanding common shares caused by
option exercises, Entergy plans to purchase up to 10 million shares of
its common stock over the next two years on a discretionary basis
through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions.
