Voluntary Disclosure of Other Events |

On December 5, 2005, Oklahoma Natural Gas Company, a division of ONEOK, Inc., announced that customers will receive a credit on their December gas bills. The company will distribute $6,937,327 to more than 800,000 customers throughout its service territory. All residential customers will receive a credit of $8.40 in December. The credit represents Oklahoma Natural Gas Company's fulfillment of commitments it made in 2002 to modify its gas purchasing practices to reduce reliance on certain supply contracts that are used to secure supply during time of high demand and some of the fees associated with that method of acquiring gas for customers. The company also expanded its use of natural gas from storage and increased the volumes it purchases through fixed-price contracts months in advance of winter consumption. This December's credit brings to nearly $34 million the amount of savings realized by Oklahoma Natural Gas customers through a reduction in gas cost expense and other credits since 2002.
