The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A
Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into
possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state
law by the Board of Directors of Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB)
(“Williams” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of
the Company by Energy Transfer Equity.
Under the terms of the transaction, Williams’ shareholders may
elect to receive $43.50 in ETE affiliate Energy Transfer Corp. LP
shares and/or cash for each share of Williams Companies stock they
own, subject to proration. The proposed transaction is valued at
approximately $32.6 billion. The firm’s investigation seeks to
determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of
Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including
whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the
acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible
for the Company’s shares of common stock.

the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn
