Other Materially Important Events Gulf States Utilities Company and Entergy Corporation As previously discussed in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1995, the labor union contract between Gulf States Utilities Company (GSU) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) expired on June 24, 1995. The labor contract covers approximately 1,900 GSU employees in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana. Negotiators for GSU and the IBEW have been unsuccessful in negotiating a new agreement. A federal mediator was called in on July 9, 1995, to assist the parties in resolving their differences, but the mediation effort was unsuccessful. Subsequently, the IBEW voted to reject GSU's settlement offer and authorized the union leadership to call a strike if necessary. The IBEW employees continue to work without a contract. Further negotiations are scheduled with the IBEW on July 26, 1995, and with the River Bend bargaining unit of the IBEW on July 27, 1995. If a strike should occur, GSU intends to continue its operations with the assistance of management and supervisory personnel and outside contractors.
