Introductory Note

On October 1, 2015, the businesses formerly conducted by Entergy Louisiana, LLC (Old Entergy Louisiana) and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC (Old Entergy Gulf States Louisiana) were combined into a single public utility (Business Combination).

In order to effect the Business Combination, under the Texas Business Organizations Code (TXBOC), Old Entergy Louisiana allocated substantially all of its assets to a new subsidiary, Entergy Louisiana Power, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (New Entergy Louisiana), and New Entergy Louisiana assumed the liabilities of Old Entergy Louisiana, in a transaction regarded as a merger under the TXBOC. Under the TXBOC, Old Entergy Gulf States Louisiana allocated substantially all of its assets to a new subsidiary (New Entergy Gulf States Louisiana) and New Entergy Gulf States Louisiana assumed the liabilities of Old Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, in a transaction regarded as a merger under the TXBOC. New Entergy Gulf States Louisiana then merged into New Entergy Louisiana with New Entergy Louisiana surviving the merger. Thereupon, Old Entergy Louisiana changed its name from “Entergy Louisiana, LLC” to “EL Investment Company, LLC” and New Entergy Louisiana changed its name from “Entergy Louisiana Power, LLC” to “Entergy Louisiana, LLC”.

With the completion of the Business Combination, New Entergy Louisiana holds substantially all of the assets, and has assumed the liabilities, of Old Entergy Louisiana and Old Entergy Gulf States Louisiana.

Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, the series of outstanding debt securities that Old Entergy Louisiana had registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are deemed registered by New Entergy Louisiana under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act by operation of Exchange Act Rule 12g-3(a) and New Entergy Louisiana is subject to the reporting and other applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.
