Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On August 19, 2009, Entergy Arkansas, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Arkansas (the “Secretary of State”) its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Restatement”).  The Second Restatement was effective as of August 19, 2009.
 
The Second Restatement consolidated in one document the two amendments made to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “First Restatement”) of the Company subsequent to the filing of the First Restatement with the Secretary of State on November 12, 1999.  The first of those two amendments was filed with the Secretary of State on August 22, 2005.  That first amendment revised paragraph (4) of paragraph (c) of Article FIFTH of the First Restatement to eliminate the necessity of the Company to obtain the vote of the holders of the holders of the $25 Preferred Stock of the Company to amend the unsecured debt issuance limitation of subparagraph (B) of such paragraph (4); at the time of the adoption of that first amendment, no shares of $25 Preferred Stock of the Company were outstanding.  The second of those two amendments was filed with the Secretary of State on March 22, 2006.  That second amendment added to paragraph (c) of Article FIFTH of the First Restatement a new series of shares designated “6.45% Preferred Stock, Cumulative, $25 Par Value.”
 
The Second Restatement also eliminated from paragraph (c) of Article FIFTH of the First Restatement all references to all series of shares that had been redeemed subsequent to the filing of the First Restatement, specifically, the 7.32% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $100 par value; the 7.80% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $100 par value; the 7.40% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $100 par value; the 7.88% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $100 par value; the 9.92% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $25 par value; the 8.52% Preferred Stock, cumulative, $100 par value; and the $1.96 Preferred Stock, Cumulative, $0.01 Par Value (Involuntary Liquidation Value $25).  The Second Restatement is attached hereto as an exhibit and the content of the Second Statement is incorporated herein by reference from such exhibit.
