Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 2, 2007, we announced that we had entered into an agreement to sell our North System and our 50% ownership interest in the Heartland Pipeline Company (collectively known as the North System) to ONEOK Partners, L.P. for approximately $300 million in cash. The North System consists of an approximately 1,600-mile interstate common carrier pipeline system that delivers natural gas liquids and refined petroleum products from south central Kansas to the Chicago area. Also included in the sale are eight propane truck-loading terminals, located at various points in three states along the pipeline system, and one multi-product terminal complex located in Morris, Illinois. All of the assets are included in our Products Pipelines business segment.

This transaction closed in the fourth quarter of 2007. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we accounted for the North System business as a discontinued operation whereby the financial results of the North System have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in the attached report. A copy of our revised financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, including selected financial data as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
