SHAREHOLDER ALERT 525 0 Kommentare Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses in Excess of $100,000 Investing in Williams Partners L.P. to Contact the Firm Before Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - April 05, 2016) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Williams Partners L.P. ("Williams" or the "Company") (NYSE: WPZ) of the May 6, 2016 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma on behalf of all those who purchased Williams securities between May 13, 2015 and June 19, 2015 (the "Class Period"). The case, Erber v. Williams Companies, Inc., The et al, No. 4:16-cv-00131 was filed on March 7, 2015, and has been assigned to Judge James H. Payne and Magistrate Judge Frank H. McCarthy.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the Company's parent, Williams Companies, Inc., was considering alternative strategic dealings with Energy Transfer Equity L.P that would require Williams Companies, Inc. to terminate its previously, publicly announced merger dealings with the Company.

Specifically, on May 13, 2015, the Company made public an agreement according to which its parent, Williams Companies, Inc., would purchase all publicly-held Williams common units. However, on June 22, 2015, Energy Transfer Equity L.P. publicly disclosed the details of its months-long pursuit of Williams Companies, Inc., along with the merger-termination requirement between Williams Companies, Inc. and the Company.

After the announcement, Williams's share price fell from a closing price of $53.14 per share on June 19, 2015 to a closing price of $49.10 per share on June 22, 2015 -- a $4.04 or a 7.6% drop.
