Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 16, 2011, The Williams Companies, Inc. ("Williams") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved pursuing a plan to separate Williams’ businesses into two separate publicly traded corporations. The plan calls for a separation of Williams exploration and production business through an initial public offering in 2011 of up to 20 percent of a corporation holding that business ("New E&P") and, in 2012, a spin-off to Williams’ shareholders of its remaining interest in New E&P. A wholly owned subsidiary of Williams currently owns approximately 69 percent of the outstanding ordinary shares of Apco Oil and Gas International Inc. ("Apco"). Williams’ press release indicated that New E&P would include Williams’ interest in Apco. A copy of Williams’ press release is furnished herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
The press release is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure. The information furnished is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
