On July 25, 2013, we announced that, upon completion of our transaction to separate our natural gas distribution business into a stand-alone, publicly traded company known as ONE Gas, Inc. (ONE Gas), John W. Gibson will step down as chief executive officer and will retire as an employee of ONEOK, Inc. (the Company) and of ONEOK Partners, L.P. (ONEOK Partners). At that time, Mr. Gibson will become non-executive chairman of the board of directors of each of the Company, ONEOK Partners and ONE Gas. In connection with this transaction, the Company and Mr. Gibson have entered into a letter agreement dated as of December 9, 2013 (the Letter Agreement). The Letter Agreement provides that, upon Mr. Gibson’s retirement as chief executive officer, the Company will provide him the following: (i) office space in the BOA Building in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, provided at no cost to Mr. Gibson for an initial term of 5 years, pursuant to a lease agreement between the Company and BOA Building, LLC, which lease may be renewed by Mr. Gibson for up to five one-year renewal periods; (ii) communications, data processing and information technology services and equipment in this office at no cost to Mr. Gibson; (iii) entitlement to all the contents of the office following the expiration of the office lease; and (iv) for so long as the Company has the right to purchase University of Tulsa basketball tickets, the option to purchase two such tickets from the Company at face value.
