WPL’s Noncontrolling Interest - As of December 31, 2013, WPL, through its ownership interest in WPL Transco, held a 16% ownership interest in ATC. In January 2014, WPL Transco’s operating agreement was amended to allow ATI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Resources, to become a member of WPL Transco in addition to WPL. In 2014, ATI began funding capital contributions that WPL Transco makes to ATC, and ATI is expected to continue to do so in the future. As of June 30, 2014, WPL’s noncontrolling interest reflects ATI’s ownership interest in WPL Transco, which was presented in total equity on WPL’s balance sheet. As a result of ATI funding future capital contributions to ATC, WPL’s ownership interest in WPL Transco is expected to decrease over time and ATI’s ownership interest in WPL Transco is expected to increase over time. WPL Transco’s equity income from ATC and future ATC dividends received by WPL Transco will be allocated between WPL and ATI based on their respective ownership interests at the time the equity income is generated and at the time of the dividend payments. Alliant Energy’s aggregate investment in ATC is not expected to change as a result of WPL Transco’s amended operating agreement.
