Corporate Developments at WEC Energy Group, Inc.

On July 9 2026, WEC Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed three Form 4 reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each filing documents a change in beneficial ownership arising from the acquisition of phantom stock units by the Company’s directors. The directors involved—Lane Thomas K., Mary Ellen Stanek, and Danny L. Cunningham—received the units under the Company’s Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan.

Nature of the Transactions

  • Phantom Stock Units: The units were granted in exchange for deferred director fees, as stipulated by the terms of the Plan.
  • Settlement and Features: The units are to be settled in accordance with the Plan’s provisions, which include a dividend‑reinvestment feature that may alter future holdings.
  • Effective Date: The transaction dates for all three units are July 8 2026, with the Form 4 filings made on July 9 2026.

Each Form 4 lists the number of phantom units received and the resulting ownership position expressed in terms of the underlying common stock shares that the units represent. The filings confirm that the transactions were exempt from Section 16(b) reporting requirements, qualifying under Rule 16b‑3(d), and that the phantom units constitute indirect ownership for the directors.

Corporate Information

The filings include the Company’s registered corporate address, registration details, and business contact information but contain no commentary on financial performance or market activity. The focus remains strictly on the directors’ receipt of phantom stock units and the corresponding change in their beneficial ownership.

This disclosure reflects the Company’s ongoing practice of using deferred compensation instruments to align executive incentives with shareholder interests. While the documents do not provide insight into broader strategic initiatives or financial results, they illustrate the regulatory framework governing insider ownership changes and the use of phantom equity as a tool for executive remuneration.
