Order</I></FONT>: A market order is a request to sell shares promptly at the current market price. Market order sales are only available
at www.computershare.com/investor or by calling the plan administrator directly at (800) 558-9663. Market order sale requests received
at www.computershare.com/investor or by telephone will be placed promptly upon receipt during market hours (normally 9:30 a.m.&nbsp;to
4:00 p.m.&nbsp;Eastern Time). Any orders received after 4:00 p.m.&nbsp;Eastern time will be placed promptly on the next day the market
is open. Depending on the number of shares being sold and current trading volume in the shares, a market order may only be partially
filled or not filled at all on the trading day in which it is placed, in which case the order, or remainder of the order, as applicable,
will be cancelled at the end of such day. To determine if your shares were sold, you should check your account online at www.computershare.com/investor
or call the plan administrator directly at (800) 558-9663. If your market order sale was not filled and you still want the shares sold,
you will need to re-enter the sale request. The price shall be the market price of the sale obtained by the plan administrator's broker,
less service and processing fees.</P>

Order</I></FONT>: A batch order is an accumulation of all sale requests for a security submitted together as a collective request. Batch
orders are submitted on each market day, assuming there are sale requests to be processed. Sale instructions for batch orders received
by the plan administrator will be processed no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received (except where
deferral is required under applicable federal or state laws or regulations), assuming the applicable market is open for trading and sufficient
market liquidity exists. All sales requests received in writing will be submitted as batch order sales. The plan administrator will cause
your shares to be sold on the open market within five business days of receipt of your request. To maximize cost savings for batch order
sales requests, the plan administrator may combine each selling participant's shares with those of other selling participants. In every
case of a batch order sale, the price to each selling participant shall be the weighted average price obtained by the plan administrator's
broker for each aggregate order placed by the plan administrator and executed by the broker, less service and processing fees.</P>

next day the market is open). Depending on the number of securities being sold and the current trading volume in the securities, such
an order may only be partially filled, in which case the remainder of the order will be cancelled. The order may be cancelled by the

current trading volume in the securities, sales may be executed in multiple transactions and over more than one day. If an order trades
for more than one day during which the market is open, a separate fee will be charged for each such day. The order (or any unexecuted
portion thereof) is automatically cancelled if the trading price is not met by the end of the order period. The order may be cancelled
by the applicable stock exchange, by the plan administrator at its sole discretion or, if the plan administrator&rsquo;s broker has not

referred to as &quot;FATCA,&quot; may be subject to 30% withholding on all applicable U.S. sourced income, including dividends, which
is applied in lieu of Chapter 3 withholding. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: left; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Under current U.S. federal
income 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 20%, 15% or 0% depending on the individual&rsquo;s tax bracket (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&nbsp;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)&nbsp;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% (0% 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>
