The Entergy Corporation Cash Balance Plan for Non-Bargaining Employees (Non-Bargaining Cash Balance Plan) was merged with and into Non-Bargaining Plan I effective January 1, 2022. Non-bargaining employees whose most recent date of hire was prior to June 30, 2014 participate in a noncontributory final average pay formula that provides pension benefits based on the employee’s credited service and compensation during employment. Non-bargaining employees whose most recent date of hire is after June 30, 2014 and before January 1, 2021 do not participate in a final average pay formula, but instead participate in a cash balance formula. Effective January 1, 2021, the Non-Bargaining Cash Balance Plan was amended to close participation in the plan to those employees whose most recent hire date is after December 31, 2020. Employees hired after this date instead may be eligible to participate in and receive a discretionary employer contribution under an Entergy sponsored tax-qualified defined contribution plan that includes a 401(k) feature.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#ff0000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The assets of the defined benefit qualified pension plans are held in a master trust established by Entergy. Each pension plan has an undivided beneficial interest in each of the investment accounts in the master trust that is maintained by a trustee. Use of the master trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of the pension plans of Entergy Corporation and its Registrant Subsidiaries for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets in the master trust are commingled, the trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the trust level equity in net earnings (loss) and the administrative expenses of the investment accounts in the trust to the various participating pension plans in the trust. The fair value of the trust’s assets is determined by the trustee and certain investment managers. The trustee calculates a daily earnings factor, including realized and unrealized gains or losses, collected and accrued income, and administrative expenses, and allocates earnings to each plan in the master trust on a pro rata basis.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#ff0000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Within each pension plan, Entergy Services’ beneficial interest in the plan assets is maintained by the plan's actuary and is updated quarterly. Assets are increased for investment net income and contributions, and are decreased for benefit payments.

Effective January 1, 2021, certain retired, former non-bargaining employees age 65 and older who are eligible for Entergy-sponsored retiree welfare benefits, and their eligible spouses who are age 65 and older (collectively, Medicare-eligible participants), are eligible to participate in an Entergy-sponsored retiree health plan, and are no longer eligible for retiree coverage under the Entergy Corporation Companies’ Benefits Plus Medical, Dental and Vision Plans. Under the Entergy-sponsored retiree health plan, Medicare-eligible participants are eligible to participate in a health reimbursement arrangement which they may use towards the purchase of various types of qualified insurance offered through a Medicare exchange provider and for other qualified medical expenses.

Generally, the most significant fair value measurements relate to investments in securities in defined benefit plans. LKS uses, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models) and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:107%">LKS classifies fair value measurements within one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy.

The first step requires an entity to determine whether, based on the technical merits supporting a particular tax position, it is more likely than not (greater than a 50% chance) that the tax position will be sustained. This determination assumes that the relevant taxing authority will examine the tax position and is aware of all the relevant facts surrounding the tax position. The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion. The benefit recognized is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of realization, upon settlement, that exceeds 50%. Unrecognized tax benefits are classified as current to the extent management expects to settle an uncertain tax position by payment or receipt of cash within one year of the reporting date. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of issues raised by taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued and may materially impact the financial statements of the Company in future periods. At December 31, 2023, no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits are projected over the next 12 months.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:121%">Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Deferred income taxes reflect the net future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their basis for income tax purposes, as well as the tax effects of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:121%">The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. The need for valuation allowances requires significant management judgment.

Likewise, if the Company determines that they are not able to realize all or part of net deferred tax assets in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances would decrease income by increasing tax expense in the period that such determination is made. The amount of deferred tax assets ultimately realized may differ materially from the estimates utilized in the computation of valuation allowances and may materially impact the financial statements in the future.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">See Note 3 for additional discussion regarding income taxes.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 3 - Income Taxes</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Calibri',sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:400;line-height:121%">LKS’s federal income tax return is included in a United States consolidated income tax return filed by LKS’s parent, PPL.
