Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed February 11, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Alliant Energy Corporation, Interstate Power and Light Company and Wisconsin Power and Light Company filed this Form 8-K on February 11, 2025 to report two executive leadership changes, both approved by the Boards of Directors on February 7, 2025 and effective March 2, 2025.
The filing is a personnel announcement under Item 5.02 and does not report financial results, guidance, or transaction details. Dylan Syse, age 39, was appointed Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of the three Companies. He has served as Assistant Controller since 2021, previously held Manager roles in accounting and reporting from 2018 to 2021, and has worked in various accounting roles since joining the Companies in 2013.
His compensation will consist of a salary and participation in the standard short-term and long-term incentive plans. The filing states there are no other arrangements or understandings tied to his appointment and no family relationships with any director or executive officer.
Benjamin Bilitz, the current Chief Accounting Officer and Controller, was appointed Treasurer of the Companies in the same action, also effective March 2, 2025. Because Bilitz is moving into the Treasurer role while Syse assumes the Chief Accounting Officer and Controller position, the change is an internal succession within the finance and accounting function.
