Communities received $9.3M from Alliant Energy in 2024
Alliant Energy and the company's charitable foundation, along with the company's employees and retirees, collectively contributed nearly $9.3 million and over 80,000 volunteer hours to various causes and nonprofits in 2024.
'The passion Alliant Energy has for customers can be directly seen through the work of our Foundation and the volunteerism of our employees,' said Aimee Davis, Alliant Energy Foundation board chair. 'In 2024 we partnered with food banks to offer programs to combat rural hunger and reached a major milestone in our goal to plant 1 million trees. I'm proud of the creative ways we worked to make things better for the communities we serve.'
The Alliant Energy Foundation's giving and volunteer efforts focused on four areas: Community safety and engagement, environmental stewardship, workforce readiness and hunger and housing.
Community safety and engagement: Improvements for emergency services and over $55,000 in safety grants covered 37 communities for many first response organizations including police and fire departments as they received vital new or upgraded equipment. Support was also provided to initiatives that bring communities together such as special events like fairs and building playgrounds.
Environmental stewardship: Alliant Energy reached the halfway milestone last year in its goal to plant a million trees by the end of 2030. Since July 2021, the company has helped plant over 551,000 trees in Iowa and Wisconsin.
Workforce readiness: To aid in the development of a solid workforce and attract future employees, the company worked to create accessible paths for students through a variety of scholarship opportunities. Over 100 students received scholarships with contributions totaling more than $103,000 to offset tuition costs and student loans.
Hunger and housing: In partnership with local food banks, the Rural Hunger Initiative is a collaborative effort to combat challenges surrounding food insecurity in rural communities. The initiative provided $1 million over two years to combat hunger across Iowa and Wisconsin. Two programs were launched with food bank partners in Iowa. One focuses on school pantries. The other develops partnership agreements to bring fresh proteins like beef and pork from agricultural partners to hungry neighbors.
'Each day we provide support to critical programs and our partners who work to improve the communities we serve across Iowa and Wisconsin,' said Andy Kitslaar, executive director of the Alliant Energy Foundation. 'Beyond grant support, our focus on employee volunteerism creates a direct impact on our neighbors. We are proud of the opportunities we provided to serve customers and build stronger communities last year.'

Alliant Energy Prices Offering of $500 Million of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028
MADISON, Wis., May 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alliant Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: LNT) announced the pricing of its offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.250% convertible senior notes due 2028 in a private placement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Alliant Energy also granted each of the initial purchasers of the convertible notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period from, and including, the date on which the convertible notes are first issued, up to an additional $75 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes. The sale of the convertible notes is expected to close on May 15, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Alliant Energy expects that the net proceeds from the convertible notes will be approximately $493.0 million (or $567.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional convertible notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by Alliant Energy. Alliant Energy intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the convertible notes for the repayment or refinancing of debt, to reduce outstanding commercial paper or for general corporate purposes. The convertible notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Alliant Energy, and will mature on May 30, 2028, unless earlier converted or repurchased in accordance with their terms. The convertible notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.250% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, beginning on November 30, 2025. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2028, the convertible notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only under certain conditions. On or after March 1, 2028, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the convertible notes may convert all or any portion of their convertible notes at their option at any time at the conversion rate then in effect, irrespective of these conditions. Alliant Energy will settle conversions of the convertible notes by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes being converted. The conversion rate for the convertible notes will initially be 13.1773 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $75.89 per share of common stock). The initial conversion price of the convertible notes represents a premium of approximately 27.5% over the last reported sale price of Alliant Energy's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 12, 2025. The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. Alliant Energy may not redeem the convertible notes prior to the maturity date. If Alliant Energy undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture that will govern the convertible notes), subject to certain conditions, holders of the convertible notes may require Alliant Energy to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their convertible notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (as defined in the indenture that will govern the convertible notes). In addition, if certain fundamental changes occur, Alliant Energy may be required, in certain circumstances, to increase the conversion rate for any convertible notes converted in connection with such fundamental changes by a specified number of shares of its common stock. The offering is being made to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Any offers of the convertible notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. None of the convertible notes or any shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes have been or are expected to be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
