Item 1.   Changes in Control of Registrant.

          A change of control of WICOR, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation ("WICOR"),
occurred on April 26, 2000, upon the  effectiveness of the merger (the "Merger")
of WICOR  with a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  (the  "Acquisition  Subsidiary")  of
Wisconsin Energy  Corporation,  a Wisconsin  corporation  ("Wisconsin  Energy"),
pursuant to which WICOR,  as the surviving  corporation,  became a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated June 27, 1999, as subsequently amended (the "Merger Agreement"),
between WICOR, Wisconsin Energy and Acquisition Subsidiary,  the shareholders of
WICOR received  consideration  valued at $31.50 per share of WICOR common stock.
The Acquisition Subsidiary paid a total of $1,195,004,412 in cash to the holders
of WICOR's  37,936,648 shares of the outstanding  common stock (excluding 38,000
shares of restricted  WICOR common stock issued in February 2000), and Wisconsin
Energy  issued 57,745  shares of its  restricted  common stock to holders of the
38,000 shares of restricted WICOR common stock issued in February 2000. The cash
portion of the merger consideration was loaned to the Acquisition  Subsidiary by
Wisconsin Energy, which raised the funds through the sale of commercial paper.

          As provided in the Merger Agreement, George E. Wardeberg, the Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of WICOR, was elected as a director and appointed as
Vice  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Wisconsin   Energy  upon  the
consummation of the Merger,  and Willie D. Davis, an outside  director of WICOR,
was  also  elected  to  the  Wisconsin   Energy  Board  of  Directors  upon  the
consummation of the Merger.
