The following brief description of the Plan is provided for general information purposes only.  More complete information regarding the Plan is provided in the plan document and summary plan description, which have been made available to all eligible Plan participants (participants).  The Plan is administered by the Alliant Energy Corporation Benefit Plans Committee (the Committee) and the Plan sponsor is Alliant Energy Corporate Services, Inc. (a direct subsidiary of Alliant Energy Corporation).  The Committee reserves the right to terminate, amend or modify the Plan if future conditions warrant such action.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Generally, all employees of Alliant Energy Corporation and its participating subsidiaries (the Company) may participate in the Plan, except as provided in the Plan.  Eligible employees aged 18 and over may participate (i) immediately following 30 consecutive days of service with respect to employee deferral contributions and Company matching contributions and (ii) immediately with respect to Company basic contributions. An initial automatic 8% pre-tax deferral contribution rate has been applied to newly hired full-time eligible employees, unless the employee made a contrary election within 30 days of the automatic enrollment notice.  Participant contributions are invested in an age appropriate target date fund until changed at the participant&#8217;s discretion.  The Plan also applies an automatic deferral increase for non-bargaining and certain bargaining unit employees contributing less than a 10% deferral contribution rate.  The employees&#8217; deferral contribution rate will automatically increase by 1% each year until they reach a 10% deferral contribution rate.  Employees have the option of opting out of the automatic deferral increase.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">An Employee Stock Ownership Plan is in place within the Plan.

Automatic distributions from the Plan will be made upon termination of employment (by retirement, death, disability or otherwise) if the participant&#8217;s account balance is less than $5,000.  Beneficiaries of deceased employees can remain in the Plan.  If a withdrawing participant&#8217;s account balance is less than $5,000, and the participant does not make an election to either have the account paid as a direct rollover or as a cash payment, the distribution will be paid as a direct rollover to an individual retirement account established for the participant.  If a withdrawing participant&#8217;s account balance exceeds $5,000, the participant may elect to defer payment until he or she is age 72.  Distributions can be either in the form of a lump sum, partial distribution or substantially equal monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments.  The unpaid portion of all loans made to the participant, including accrued interest, will be deducted from the amount of the participant account to be distributed.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.  Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value
