Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 (Amendment No. 6) filed in this proceeding
on September 18, 2003 is hereby withdrawn. On November 25, 2003, Alliant Energy
Corporation ("Alliant Energy"), a registered holding company under the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (the "Act"), and Alliant Energy
Resources, Inc. ("AER"), its wholly-owned non-utility subsidiary, announced that
AER had completed the initial public offering ("IPO") of substantially all of
the common stock of Whiting Petroleum Corporation ("WPC"), the direct parent of
Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation. As a result of the IPO and concurrent issuance
of common stock by WPC to certain management employees pursuant to its Phantom
Equity Plan, AER now holds only 5.76% of the issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of WPC. AER currently intends to divest its remaining interest in
WPC, subject to market conditions.
Since WPC is no longer a "subsidiary company" of Alliant Energy within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(8) of the Act, the relief requested in Post-Effective
Amendment No. 3 is no longer required. Alliant Energy will continue to count its
proportionate share of WPC's aggregate investment in "energy-related assets" as
of the closing date of the IPO, based on AER's percentage ownership of WPC's
common stock, against the authorized limit on such investments under the
October 3, 2001 order issued in this proceeding.
