WEC Energy Group, Inc. (WEC) – Form 4 insider filing
Director Cristina A. Garcia-Thomas reported the acquisition of 217.77 phantom stock units on 07/08/2025 at a reference price of $103.32 per unit. The transaction was executed through the company’s Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP), meaning cash director fees were deferred and converted one-for-one into phantom units that mirror WEC common stock performance. Following the transaction, Garcia-Thomas now holds 8,126.4183 phantom stock units (direct ownership).
No open-market purchases or sales of common shares were reported; the filing reflects an administrative, exemption-qualified transaction under Rules 16b-3(d) and 16a-11. Phantom units are settled in accordance with DDCP terms and do not immediately increase the public share float. While the dollar value of the newly acquired units (~$22.5 k) is modest relative to WEC’s market capitalization, continued accumulation signals ongoing alignment of director compensation with shareholder value.
WEC Energy Group, Inc. (WEC) filed a Form 4 reporting that director Thomas K. Lane acquired 362.95 phantom stock units on 07/08/2025. The reference price quoted for the accrual is $103.32 per unit, bringing Lane’s total holdings to 14,594.3388 phantom units.
The units were received through the company’s Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP) as a deferral of board fees and dividend reinvestment, qualifying for exemption under Rule 16b-3(d) and Rule 16a-11. Each phantom unit is convertible one-for-one into WEC common shares and will be settled according to DDCP terms. Because the acquisition is a routine, cash-less, non-market transaction, it signals limited incremental insight into insider sentiment or the company’s near-term fundamentals.
Form 4 filing highlights: On 07/08/2025, WEC Energy Group (WEC) independent director Mary Ellen Stanek elected to defer a portion of her board fees into 347.7932 phantom stock units under the Company’s Director’s Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP).
Key transaction details:
- Transaction code: A (exempt acquisition).
- Security: Phantom stock units convertible 1-for-1 into common stock upon settlement.
- Reference price disclosed: $103.32 per underlying share.
- Units acquired: 347.7932; post-transaction balance: 49,579.5041 units held directly.
Interpretation: The incremental award is routine, non-cash compensation that tracks WEC’s share price and does not immediately dilute existing shareholders. With WEC’s share count above 300 million, the additional units represent less than 0.0001 % of shares outstanding—financially immaterial but directionally positive for governance alignment. No open-market purchase or sale of common stock occurred, so market impact is expected to be negligible.
