Why It Matters
This transaction increases Entergy Arkansas’s long-term fixed-rate debt by $1.0 billion and extends the company’s debt maturity profile out to 2056. For investors, that means higher fixed interest obligations over the terms of the bonds (4.95% and 5.75%) and potential impacts on leverage and interest expense going forward. The filing does not specify the use of proceeds. The 8-K was signed by Barrett E. Green, Vice President and Treasurer, on January 8, 2026.
