On November 15, 2010, Integrys Energy Group, Inc. (the “Company”) sold $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.170% Senior Notes Due November 1, 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) in a public offering through Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Mizuho Securities USA Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc.  The Senior Notes are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-158218).  In connection with the offering and sale of the Senior Notes, final versions of the following are filed herewith:  (1) the Underwriting Agreement, dated November 9, 2010, by and among the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, for themselves and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein; (2) the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2010, by and between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, creating the Senior Notes, including the form of note; (3) the new Replacement Capital Covenant, dated as of December 1, 2010 (the “New RCC”), whereby the Company covenants for the benefit of holders of a designated series of the Company’s long-term indebtedness that ranks senior to the Company’s 6.11% Junior Subordinated Notes Due 2066 (the “Junior Subordinated Notes”) that it will not redeem or repurchase the Junior Subordinated Notes on or before December 1, 2036, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 360 days prior to the date of that redemption or repurchase the Company has received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying securities that have equity-like characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of the Junior Subordinated Notes; and (4) an Amendment to the Replacement Capital Covenant, dated as of December 1, 2010 (the “Amendment”), which amends the terms of the Replacement Capital Covenant, dated as of December 1, 2006, by the Company in favor of and for the benefit of certain debtholders (the “Existing RCC”) to delete those covenants (Sections 2 and 3 thereof) that currently restrict the Company’s ability to redeem or repurchase the Junior Subordinated Notes without the issuance of certain replacement capital securities.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Senior Notes, the New RCC, the Amendment, the Existing RCC and other documents relating to this transaction do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of these securities and documents, forms or copies of which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
