business infrastructure associated with its proposed plan to spin-off its Non-Utility Nuclear
business. As a result of the plan to unwind the business infrastructure, Entergy has recorded
expenses in the Non-Utility Nuclear segment, including $25 million in the third quarter 2010, for
the write-off of certain capitalized costs incurred in connection with the planned spin-off
transaction. Other operation and maintenance expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
include the write-off of $58 million of capital costs, primarily for software that will not be
utilized. Interest charges include the write-off in the first quarter 2010 of $39 million of debt
financing costs, primarily incurred for Enexus’s $1.2 billion credit facility. Approximately $12
million of other costs have been incurred in connection with unwinding the planned Non-Utility
Nuclear spin-off transaction, almost entirely in the third quarter 2010. Entergy expects that it
will incur approximately $15 million, after-tax, in additional expenses in unwinding this business,
primarily through the remainder of 2010, including additional write-offs, dis-synergies, and
certain other costs.
