WEC insider ownership: who sold, why, and what they still hold

Who	Shares	Price	% of total stake	Total stake after	Trade date	Filed

What stands out

Gale Klappa (12% of holdings) sold $3.8M of stock with no disclosed trading plan. The filings don't state a reason.Largest such sale, Feb 17, 2026

Three insiders sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Gale Klappa (sold 33K, 12% of starting holdings; 35K added), Scott Lauber (sold 8.1K, 13% of starting holdings; 22K added) and Joshua Erickson (sold 100, 1.1% of starting holdings; 640 added).Gale Klappa: largest sale, Feb 17, 2026 · Scott Lauber: largest sale, Feb 9, 2026 · Joshua Erickson: largest sale, Nov 7, 2025

Percentages cover 20 of 23 officers and directors. Left out: Glen Tellock (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Daniel Krueger and Mary Straka (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Who sold, and how much of their stake

Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.

Common questions

Is the WEC Energy Group CEO selling stock?

Yes. Scott Lauber sold 8.1K shares ($895K, 13% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, none of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are WEC Energy Group insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any WEC Energy Group insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did WEC Energy Group insiders sell?

About 8.8% overall. As a group they ended with more shares than they started with. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

Reconciliation: minor difference of 57 shares. Footnote reports an exempt acquisition without its size; amount derived from the balance change.

22 of 23 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (3 exactly, 19 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 20 of 23 officers and directors. Left out: Glen Tellock (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Daniel Krueger and Mary Straka (most of their shares vested during the period, so a percentage would mislead). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$5.9M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $5.9M across 51,279 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

No plan disclosed · $5.9M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $3.8M of it is Gale Klappa. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Scott Lauber, Feb 9, 2026

Taxes

9,223 shares ($981K) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Sources and methodology1,354 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,354 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for WEC Energy Group (SEC CIK 783325) from Jul 1, 2003 to Sep 3, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 1 filing was left out because WEC Energy Group filed them as an owner of another company's stock.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before Mar 1, 2011 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 9 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
