Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
             Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
             Certain Officers.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2020 and dated as of May 6, 2020.

As previously disclosed, David J. Lesar and Barry T. Smitherman were appointed to the Board of Directors (the "Board") of CenterPoint Energy, Inc. (the "Company") on May 6, 2020. On June 4, 2020, at the recommendation of the Board's Governance Committee, the Board approved an initial stock award under the CenterPoint Energy, Inc. Stock Plan for Outside Directors, as amended (the "Plan"), to Messrs. Lesar and Smitherman each valued at $150,000 in connection with the commencement of their service as directors of the Board, which is consistent with the annual stock award under the Plan valued at $150,000 received by each of the Company's non-employee directors serving on the Board on May 1, 2020. The number of shares awarded to each of Messrs. Lesar and Smitherman was determined by dividing the cash value by the fair market value of the common stock of the Company on the grant date of June 4, 2020, resulting in a stock award to each of Messrs. Lesar and Smitherman of 8,310 shares of common stock of the Company. The stock awards immediately fully vested upon grant.
