Subject: Message From Pierce Norton and Jesse Arenivas – Form S-4 Including Preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus Filed

 

To ONEOK and EnLink Employees:

We are pleased to share that we've reached an important step in ONEOK's planned acquisition of the remaining publicly held common units in EnLink Midstream, LLC. On December 9, 2024, ONEOK filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which includes a preliminary proxy statement of EnLink and a preliminary prospectus of ONEOK. The Form S-4 will register with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) the shares of ONEOK common stock to be received by EnLink unitholders as merger consideration. After an SEC comment period, ONEOK and EnLink expect to submit definitive filings, which would include details about the EnLink unitholder special meeting to approve the transaction.

We invite you to review this overview of our integration planning process, which now includes a snapshot of the key milestones expected before closing of the acquisition, as well as information about the phased approach to integration.

While the acquisition proceeds through the required processes, our joint integration planning team will continue to meet regularly to plan for the integration of EnLink. We encourage you to continue submitting questions to our dedicated inboxes at IntegrationQuestions@oneok.com for ONEOK employees and Questions@enlink.com for EnLink employees. Our respective integration hubs on ONEOK Online and EnSite also continue to house all information about integration.

This is an important time for ONEOK and EnLink. Thank you for remaining focused on maintaining uninterrupted business operations as we continue to navigate this process. As always, stay safe.

Sincerely, 

Pierce Norton

President and CEO of ONEOK

Chairman of the EnLink Midstream Board of Directors

Jesse Arenivas

President and CEO of EnLink Midstream
