Williams Cos. agreed to pay nearly $6 billion in cash to expand its ownership of Access Midstream Partners, a move aimed at increasing the energy company's presence in major shale areas.
Under the deal, Williams would acquire the remaining 50% of the privately held general-partner interests in Access Midstream that it didn't already own as well as 55.1 million limited-partner units, giving Williams 50% of the limited-partner interests.
Williams is buying the stakes from Global Infrastructure Partners II for $5.995 billion. At the close of trading Friday, the 55.1 million limited-partner units had a market value of $3.6 billion.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter. Following the close, Williams plans to increase its third-quarter dividend by 32% to 56 cents.
Access Midstream Partners has more than 8.3 million acres in major shale and unconventional producing areas, including the Marcellus, Utica, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Barnett, Mid-continent and Niobrara.
