EXPLANATORY NOTE

WEC Energy Group, Inc. ("WEC Energy") and Wisconsin Electric Power Company ("Wisconsin Electric") are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A to their Current Report on Form 8-K, which was originally filed on February 25, 2016 (the "Original 8-K") to report several changes to each company’s executive leadership team, for the sole purpose of disclosing the compensation arrangements of certain of these executive officers. Except for the foregoing, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Original 8-K in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.


ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

As reported in the Original 8-K, effective April 1, 2016, Scott J. Lauber has been named Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of WEC Energy and Wisconsin Electric; and effective May 1, 2016, J. Kevin Fletcher has been named President of WEC Energy’s Wisconsin segment.

In recognition of Mr. Lauber’s new position, the compensation committee of WEC Energy’s board of directors set his annual base salary at $376,165 and his target award under the company's short-term performance plan at 75% of base salary. At the same time, the compensation committee set Mr. Fletcher’s annual base salary at $420,000 and his target award under the company's short-term performance plan at 70% of base salary.
