a broker and, therefore, will not accept your instructions to sell on a particular day or at a specific price. The plan is designed
for the long-term investor and does not afford you the same flexibility as an account with a stockbroker in this respect. If you
prefer to have control over the exact price and timing of your sale, you will need to request a stock certificate from the plan
administrator for the number of whole shares you wish to sell and conduct that transaction through your stockbroker. Once you have
the stock certificate in your possession, you can sell the WEC Energy Group stock represented thereby through a broker at a price
and on the date you select. The plan administrator will mail your certificate to you by insured, first-class mail within five business
days of your request. If you choose to sell through a broker after obtaining your stock certificate, all brokerage fees are your
responsibility.</P>

tax law the maximum rate of U.S. federal income tax imposed on most dividends received by individuals (known as &ldquo;Qualified
Dividends&rdquo;) is reduced from the higher marginal income tax rates to 20% (15% or 0% for individuals in the lower tax brackets)
(the &ldquo;Reduced Rate&rdquo;). In order to be eligible for the Reduced Rate, an individual shareholder must own WEC Energy Group
common stock for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. A special loss rule
applies if you receive an &ldquo;extraordinary dividend&rdquo; with respect to WEC Energy Group common stock which is entitled
to the Reduced Rate. If you receive, with respect to any share of WEC Energy Group stock, Qualified Dividend income from one or
more dividends which are extraordinary dividends (a dividend which equals or exceeds 10% of your tax basis in that share of stock),
any loss on the subsequent sale or exchange of that share will, to the extent of such dividends, be treated as long-term capital
loss. Further, dividends entitled to the Reduced Rate are not treated as &ldquo;investment income&rdquo; under section 163(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code, which allows a non-corporate taxpayer to deduct investment interest expense to the extent of his or
her investment income. Dividends on WEC Energy Group shares, however, will be treated as investment income if you elect not to
report the income as a Qualified Dividend. The top individual tax rate on adjusted net capital gains associated with sales and
exchanges of capital assets is 20% (10% for individuals in the lower tax brackets). You should consult your tax advisor regarding
the specific tax consequences to you from the receipt of dividends or sales proceeds with respect to your stock in the plan.</P>

authorized and will, when issued (as to any such Shares which are original issuance or treasury shares) and paid for in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Company.</P>
