ONEOK expects the offering to close on or about Sept. 24, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The 3-year notes, the 5-year notes and the 7-year notes will be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" if the EnLink Transaction is not completed on or before the EnLink Outside Date (as described in the prospectus supplement); prior to the EnLink Outside Date, the EnLink Purchase Agreement is terminated; or ONEOK otherwise notifies the trustee in writing that it will not pursue the consummation of the EnLink Transaction.
