*Included in Long-Term Debt as of December 31, 2012 and 2009, is $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Series A Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 as these debt securities are reflected as long-term debt on Wisconsin Energy's Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The adjusted presentation attributes $250 million of the Junior Notes to Common Equity and $250 million to Long-Term Debt.  We believe this presentation is consistent with the 50% or greater equity credit the majority of rating agencies currently attribute to the Junior Notes.
