==========================================================================
Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
dated as of June 5, 1992 as amended (the "Agreement"), between
Entergy Corporation ("Entergy") and Gulf States Utilities Company
(the "Company"), all of the outstanding shares of common stock of
the Company have been acquired on December 31, 1993, by Entergy-GSU
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation the name of which has been
changed to Entergy Corporation, in exchange for cash and shares of
common stock of Entergy Corporation. As a consequence, there will
be no further issuance of the Company's common stock.
By virtue of Registration Statement No. 2-76551 for the
Company's Employee Thrift Plan filed on March 10, 1982, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8, the Company
registered 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance to
participants in the Employees Thrift Plan. As of this date,
194,872 of those shares remain authorized but unissued. As a
result of consummation of the reorganization pursuant to the
Agreement, the Company hereby files this Post-Effective Amendment
No. 11 and requests deregistration of the 194,872 shares of the
Company's common stock previously registered for the Thrift Plan.
Nothing contained herein will affect the continuing registration of
participations in the Plan by the Company's employees pursuant to
the Registration Statement.
