1.              Automatic Shelf Registration Statement 333-186988, registering 3,898,156 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issuable under the Company’s Stock Investment Plan, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2013.

 

2.              Automatic Shelf Registration Statement 333-183172, registering an indeterminate principal amount of the Company’s debt securities, shares of Common Stock, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, warrants to purchase common stock, warrants to purchase debt securities, trust preferred securities of certain trusts and guarantees, which was filed with the SEC on August 9, 2012.

 

On June 29, 2015, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 22, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Successor, WEC Acquisition Corp., a Wisconsin corporation (“Initial Merger Sub”), and WEC Energy Group, Inc. (f/k/a Wisconsin Energy Corporation), a Wisconsin corporation and the sole stockholder of the Successor (“Parent”), (i) Initial Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Initial Merger”), with the Company surviving the Initial Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (ii) immediately after the effective time of the Initial Merger, the Company merged with and into the Successor (the “Subsequent Merger”), with the Successor surviving the Subsequent Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Successor has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements.
