| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The information previously provided in response to Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
The information provided in Item 4 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The information previously provided in response to Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On May 16, 2018, WPZ and WPZ GP LLC (“WPZ General Partner” and, together with WPZ, the “WPZ Parties”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WMB and its direct wholly owned subsidiary SCMS LLC (“Merger Sub”, and together with WMB, the “WMB Parties”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into WPZ, with WPZ being the surviving entity (the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding Common Unit that is held by a unitholder other than WMB and any entities that are partially or wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by WMB, including Merger Sub, Williams Gas Pipeline and WPZ (such units, the “WPZ Public Common Units”), will be converted into the right to receive 1.494 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable WMB common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “WMB Common Stock”), provided that if the record date for the regular quarterly cash dividend on the WMB Common Stock that is paid or payable during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018 occurs prior to the closing of the Merger, then each of the WPZ Public Common Units will be converted into the right to receive 1.513 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable WMB Common Stock. All Common Units, other than the WPZ Public Common Units, will remain outstanding following the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Merger will occur no earlier than the day following the record date for the regular quarterly cash distribution on the Common Units that is paid or payable during the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018.
The Board of Directors of WMB (the “WMB Board”) has (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, are in the best interests of WMB and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of WMB (the “Charter Amendment’) and, subject to and contingent upon the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment, the issuance of WMB Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “WMB Stock Issuance”) and (iii) resolved to submit the Charter Amendment and the WMB Stock Issuance to a vote of WMB’s stockholders and recommend approval of the adoption of the Charter Amendment and the approval of the WMB Stock Issuance (together, the “WMB Proposals”) at a special meeting of WMB stockholders (the “WMB Stockholder Meeting”).
The conflicts committee (the “WPZ Conflicts Committee”) of the board of directors of WPZ General Partner (the “WPZ Board”) has, by unanimous vote, in good faith approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, determined that they are in the best interests of WPZ and the holders of WPZ Public Common Units, and resolved to approve and recommend the approval of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, to the WPZ Board. Based upon such approval, the WPZ Board has unanimously approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote of holders of Common Units and authorized the holders of Common Units to act by written consent.
Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Units; (ii) the absence of legal injunctions or impediments prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the WMB Stock Issuance; (iv) approval of the listing on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, of the WMB Common Stock to be issued in the Merger; (v) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power present
| CUSIP No. 96949L 105 | Page 6 of 12 |
at the WMB Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof to approve the WMB Stock Issuance; and (vi) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of WMB Common Stock entitled to vote to approve the Charter Amendment.
Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2018, by and between WPZ and Williams Gas Pipeline (the “Support Agreement”), Williams Gas Pipeline, which as of May 15, 2018 beneficially owned 702,218,502 Common Units and 18,442,649 Class B Units representing approximately 73.8% of the outstanding Common Units, has agreed to deliver a written consent adopting and approving in all respects the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger (the “WGP Written Consent”). The delivery of the WGP Written Consent (or, if applicable, vote) by Williams Gas Pipeline with respect to the Common Units it owns will be sufficient to adopt the Merger Agreement and thereby approve the Merger with respect to WPZ unitholders.
The Merger Agreement also contains (i) customary representations and warranties of the WMB Parties and the WPZ Parties, and (ii) covenants of the WMB Parties and the WPZ Parties with respect to, among other things, certain actions taken prior to the closing of the Merger, cooperation with respect to regulatory issues and access to each other’s information.
The Merger Agreement also provides that prior to, but not after, the approval by the WMB stockholders of the WMB Proposals, the WMB Board may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify its recommendation that the WMB stockholders approve the WMB Proposals as result of (i) an unsolicited Parent Designated Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or (ii) an Intervening Event (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case, if the WMB Board determines that the failure to make such a change of recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the WMB Board to the WMB stockholders under applicable law, subject to complying with certain notice and other specified conditions, including giving WPZ the opportunity to propose revisions to the terms of the Merger Agreement during a match right period and the payment of a termination fee in connection with termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions granting both WMB and WPZ the right to terminate the Merger Agreement for certain reasons, including, among others, if: (i) the Merger is not completed on or before December 31, 2018 (the “Termination Date”); (ii) any governmental authority has issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the enactment of any statute, rule, regulation, decree or executive order) enjoining or prohibiting consummation of the Merger; or (iii) under certain conditions, there has been a material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in the Merger Agreement by a party to the Merger Agreement that is not cured by the Termination Date. The Merger Agreement further provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, WMB may be required to either (1) pay WPZ a termination fee of up to $410 million or (2) reimburse WPZ for its transaction expenses in an amount not to exceed $10 million.
The Merger Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual or financial information about WMB, WPZ, the other parties to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of WMB, WPZ, the other parties to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by WMB and WPZ. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the companies and the Merger that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the joint proxy/consent solicitation statement/prospectus that the parties will be filing in connection with the Merger, as well as in the other filings that each of WMB and WPZ make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and Support Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 2.1 to WMB’s Current Report on Form 8-K (file No. 001-04174) filed with the SEC on May 17, 2018 and Exhibit 99.2 to WPZ’s Current Report on Form 8-K (file No. 001-34831) filed with the SEC on May 17, 2018, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
