Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 9, 2017, The Williams Companies, Inc. (“Williams”) and Donald R. Chappel, its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, determined a plan for Mr. Chappel to retire from Williams, targeting late 2017. When Mr. Chappel retires from Williams, he will also resign as a Director and Chief Financial Officer of WPZ GP LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams and the general partner of Williams Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”). Mr. Chappel’s retirement is not due to any disagreement with Williams, the General Partner, or the Partnership. Williams is initiating a search process to identify Mr. Chappel’s successor, and Williams and Mr. Chappel are coordinating for a well-planned, smooth transition of responsibilities to Mr. Chappel’s successor.
