counterparty, in respect of 3,717,502 shares of our common stock. In connection with the forward sale agreement between us and the forward counterparty, the forward counterparty or its affiliates are, at our request, borrowing from third parties and
selling to the underwriter an aggregate of 3,717,502 shares of our common stock that will be delivered in this offering. If in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, the forward counterparty is unable to borrow and deliver for sale on
the anticipated closing date the number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement, or the forward counterparty would be unable to borrow, at a stock loan rate not greater than a specified rate, and deliver for sale on the
anticipated closing date such number of shares of our common stock, or if certain other conditions to the forward counterparty&#146;s obligations have not been satisfied, then we will issue and sell directly to the underwriter a number of shares of
our common stock equal to the number of shares that the forward counterparty does not borrow and deliver. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:8pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will not initially receive any
proceeds from the sale of 3,717,502 shares of our common stock sold by the forward counterparty to the underwriter, except in certain circumstances described in this prospectus supplement, including the last sentence of the previous paragraph. We
expect to settle the forward sale agreement and receive proceeds, subject to certain adjustments, from the sale of those shares of common stock assuming one or more future physical settlements of the forward sale agreement no later than
December&nbsp;31, 2020. Although we expect to settle the forward sale agreement entirely by the full physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, we may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a
portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreement. If we elect to cash settle or net share settle the forward sale agreement, we may not receive any proceeds from the issuance of shares, and we will instead receive or pay cash (in the case
of cash settlement) or receive or deliver shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement). See &#147;Underwriting (Conflict of Interest)&#148; for a description of the forward sale agreement. </P>

agreement is physically settled on the effective date of the forward sale agreement based upon the initial forward sale price of $52.235 (which is the price at which the underwriter has agreed to buy the shares of common stock offered hereby). The

<TD>Before any issuance of shares of our common stock upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement, we expect that the shares issuable upon settlement of the forward sale agreement will be reflected in our diluted earnings per
share calculation using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of our common stock used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares that would be
issued upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price of our common stock during the applicable reporting period)
using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). Consequently, prior to physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement and subject to the
occurrence of certain events, we anticipate there will be no dilutive effect on our earnings per share except during periods when the average market price of shares of our common stock is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price, which is
initially $52.235 per share (which is the price at which the underwriter agrees to buy the shares of our common stock offered hereby), subject to increase or decrease based on the federal funds rate less a spread, and subject to price adjustment and
other provisions of the forward sale agreement, including a decrease based on amounts related to expected dividends on our common stock on each of certain dates specified in the forward sale agreement and if the cost to the forward counterparty of
borrowing a number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement exceeds a specified amount. However, if we decide to physically settle or net share settle the forward sale agreement, delivery of shares of our common stock to
the forward counterparty on any such physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement would result in dilution to our earnings per share. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

<TD>All of the proceeds of this offering (excluding proceeds paid to us with respect to any shares of common stock that we sell to the underwriter in lieu of the forward counterparty selling our common shares to the underwriter) will be paid to the
forward counterparty. As a result, Barclays Bank PLC, an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc., will receive more than 5% of the net proceeds of this offering, not including underwriting compensation. Accordingly, Barclays Capital Inc. is deemed to
have a &#147;conflict of interest&#148; within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., and this offering will be conducted in accordance with Rule 5121. Pursuant to that rule, the appointment of a
&#147;qualified independent underwriter&#148; is not required in connection with this offering, as the shares of our common stock have a &#147;bona fide public market&#148; (as defined in FINRA Rule 5121). See &#147;Underwriting (Conflict of

(i)&nbsp;it or its affiliate is unable to borrow and deliver for sale on the anticipated closing date of the offering the full number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement, or (ii)&nbsp;it or its affiliate is unable to
borrow, at a stock loan rate not greater than a specified rate, and deliver for sale on the anticipated closing date of the offering the full number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement, then the number of shares of
our common stock to which the forward sale agreement relates will be reduced to the number that the forward counterparty can so borrow and deliver, which may be zero. In the event that the number of shares of our common stock to which the forward
sale agreement relates is so reduced, the commitment of the underwriter to purchase shares of our common stock from the forward counterparty and the forward counterparty&#146;s obligation to borrow such shares for delivery and sale to the
underwriter, as described above, will be replaced with the commitment to purchase from us and our corresponding obligation to issue directly to the underwriter, all or such portion of the number of shares of our common stock not borrowed and
delivered by the forward counterparty. In such event, we or the underwriter will have the right to postpone the closing date for up to two business days to effect any necessary changes to the documents or arrangements in connection with such
closing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will receive an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the borrowed shares of our common stock sold in this

sale agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The forward sale agreement provides for settlement on a settlement date or dates to be specified at our discretion, but
which we expect to occur on or prior to December&nbsp;31, 2020. On a settlement date or dates, if we decide to physically settle the forward sale agreement, we will issue shares of our common stock to the forward counterparty at the then-applicable
forward sale price. The forward sale price will initially be $52.235&nbsp;per share, which is the price at which the underwriter has agreed to buy the shares of common stock offered hereby. The forward sale agreement provide that the initial forward
sale price will be subject to adjustment based on a floating interest rate factor equal to the federal funds rate less a spread, and will be subject to decrease on each of certain dates specified in the forward sale agreement by amounts related to
expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the forward sale agreement. The forward sale price will also be subject to decrease if the cost to the forward counterparty of borrowing a number of shares of our common stock
underlying the forward sale agreement exceeds a specified amount. If the federal funds rate is less than the spread on any day, the interest rate factor will result in a daily reduction of the forward sale price. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Before any issuance of shares of our common stock upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement, we expect that the
shares issuable upon settlement of the forward sale agreement will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share calculation using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of our common stock used in calculating diluted
earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares of common stock that could be
purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price of our common stock during the applicable reporting period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the
reporting period). Consequently, prior to physical or net share settlement of the forward sale agreement and subject to the occurrence of certain events, we anticipate there will be no dilutive effect on our earnings per share except during periods
when the average market price of shares of our common stock is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price, which is initially $52.235 per share (which is the price at which the underwriter agrees to buy the shares of our common stock offered
hereby), subject to increase or decrease based on the federal funds rate less a spread, and subject to price adjustment and other provisions of the forward sale agreement, including a decrease based on amounts related to expected dividends on our
common stock on each of certain dates specified in the forward sale agreement and if the cost to the forward counterparty of borrowing a number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement exceeds a specified amount. However,

common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of shares of common stock than the underwriter is required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created
by short sales. The underwriter may close out any short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common
stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriter creates a short position, it will purchase shares in the open market to cover the position. </P>

may be required to repay the underwriting discount received by it. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the

with applicable law. Our ability to pay dividends is dependent upon a number of factors, including the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends. Our utility subsidiaries each have restrictions on the payment of dividends on their common stock
based on the regulatory restrictions applicable to them, and IPL has restrictions on the payment of dividends on its common stock based on the terms of its outstanding preferred stock. </P>

Bylaw Provisions.&#148; Shareowners have no cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of shares entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting power are able to elect all of the directors to be elected. Our board of directors is

rights may be redeemed at a price of $0.001 per right until a party acquires 15% or more of our common stock and, after that time, may be exchanged for one share of our common stock per right until a party acquires 50% or more of our common stock.
The rights expire on December&nbsp;11, 2018, subject to extension. Under the rights agreement, our board of directors may reduce the thresholds applicable to the rights from 15% to not less than 10%. The rights do not have voting or dividend rights

threatened change of control of our company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;196.795(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes provides that no person may take, hold or
acquire, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a public utility holding company, such as us, without the approval of the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, or the PSCW. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;180.1150 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that the voting power of shares of public Wisconsin corporations,
such as us, held by any person or persons acting as a group in excess of 20% of the corporation&#146;s voting power is limited to 10% of the full voting power of those shares, unless full voting power of those shares has been restored pursuant to a
vote of shareowners. Sections 180.1140 to 180.1144 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law contain some limitations and special voting provisions applicable to specified business combinations involving Wisconsin corporations, such as us, and a
significant shareowner, unless the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the purchase of shares that causes the shareowner to become a significant shareowner before such purchase occurs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similarly, Sections 180.1130 to 180.1133 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law contain special voting provisions applicable to some
business combinations, unless specified minimum price and procedural requirements are met. Following commencement of a takeover offer, Section&nbsp;180.1134 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law imposes special voting requirements on share
repurchases effected at a premium to the market and on asset sales by the corporation, unless, as it relates to the potential sale of assets, the corporation has at least three independent directors and a majority of the independent directors vote
not to have the provision apply to the corporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, our amended and restated bylaws establish a procedure that shareowners
seeking to call a special meeting of shareowners must satisfy. This procedure involves notice to us, the receipt by us of written demands for a special meeting from holders of 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, a
review of the validity of such demands by an independent inspector appointed by us and the fixing of the record and meeting dates by our board of directors. In addition, shareowners demanding such a special meeting must deliver to us a written
agreement to pay the costs incurred by us in holding a special meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing the proxy materials for our solicitation of proxies for use at such meeting, in the event such shareowners are unsuccessful in their
proxy solicitation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our amended and restated bylaws also provide our board of directors with discretion in postponing shareowner
meetings, including, within certain limits, special meetings of shareowners. Additionally, our chairman or board of directors (acting by resolution) may adjourn a shareowner meeting at any time prior to the transaction of business at such meeting,
within certain limits. Our amended and restated bylaws also contain strict time deadlines and procedures applicable to shareowners seeking to nominate a person for election as a director or to otherwise bring business before a meeting. </P>

global securities on behalf of their participants through customers&#146; securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositories, which are Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of Euroclear, and Citibank, N.A.,
as depository of Clearstream. All interests in the global securities, including those held through Euroclear or Clearstream, may be subject to the procedures and requirements of DTC. Those interests held through Euroclear or Clearstream may also be

physical delivery of those securities in the form of a certificate. For that reason, it may not be possible to transfer interests in a global security to those persons. In addition, because DTC can act only on behalf of its participants, who in turn
act on behalf of persons who hold interests through participants, the ability of a person having an interest in a global security to pledge or transfer that interest to persons or entities that do not participate in DTC&#146;s system, or otherwise
to take actions in respect of that interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of that interest. </P>

global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive the notes in the form of a physical certificate and will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the applicable indenture or under the notes,
and may not be entitled to give the trustee directions, instructions or approvals. For that reason, each holder owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on DTC&#146;s procedures and, if that holder is not a direct or indirect
participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which that holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of notes under the applicable indenture or the global security. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC&#146;s records relating to the notes or relating to

global security, DTC will credit participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their beneficial interests in the global security as shown in DTC&#146;s records. We also expect that payments by DTC&#146;s participants to
owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of
nominees for such customers. DTC&#146;s participants will be responsible for those payments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised us that it will take any

methods of sale. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain the terms of the transaction, name or names of any underwriters, dealers, agents and the respective amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by them, the initial public
offering price of the securities, and the applicable agent&#146;s commission, dealer&#146;s purchase price or underwriter&#146;s discount. Any selling shareowners, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed
to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. Additionally, because selling shareowners may be deemed to be &#147;underwriters&#148; within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;2(11) of the Securities Act, selling shareowners may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. </P>

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment or to sell securities on a continuing basis. Agents may receive compensation
in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us. Agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of the securities for whom they sell as principals. Each particular agent will receive compensation in amounts negotiated in
connection with the sale, which might be in excess of customary commissions. Any such agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold. Accordingly, any commission,
discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. We have not entered into any agreements, understandings or
arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no special selling arrangements between any broker-dealer or other person and us. No period of time has been

which this prospectus is being delivered, such securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at fixed public offering prices
or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of sale. Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more underwriters. If any underwriter
or underwriters are utilized in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to
purchase all such securities if they purchase any of them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this
prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities, and any selling shareowner will sell shares of our common stock to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such
dealer at the time of resale. Transactions through brokers or dealers may include block trades in which brokers or dealers will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell as principal to facilitate the transaction or in cross
trades, in which the same broker or dealer acts as agent on both sides of the trade. Any such dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.

prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions and by issuing securities not covered by this prospectus but convertible into, exchangeable for or representing beneficial interests in securities covered by this prospectus, or the return

any selling shareowner or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us or any selling shareowner in settlement of those transactions to close out any related open

close out such short positions. Certain selling shareowners may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery of shares to the broker-dealer. The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer such
shares pursuant to this prospectus. Certain selling shareowners also may loan or pledge shares, and the borrower or pledgee may sell or otherwise transfer the shares so loaned or pledged pursuant to this prospectus. Such borrower or pledgee also may
transfer those shares to investors in our securities or the selling shareowner&#146;s securities or in connection with the offering of other securities not covered by this prospectus. </P>

agent will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving shares and might be in excess of customary commissions. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us or any selling shareowner may arrange for other

stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a
