THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS






Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Plan Participants and the Plan Administrator of
The Williams Investment Plus Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The Williams Investment Plus Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Supplemental Schedule Required by ERISA

The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2022, (referred to as the “supplemental schedule”), has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The information in the supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures
1


included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022


Note 1--Description of plan

The information included below regarding The Williams Investment Plus Plan (the “Plan”) provides only a general description of the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document, as amended and restated, and Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan maintained for the benefit of substantially all employees of The Williams Companies, Inc., and its participating subsidiaries (collectively, “Williams” or “Employer”) as provided in the Plan. A small amount of the Plan is an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) and includes shares of Williams common stock held in the Transtock and Williams Companies Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“WESOP”) Accounts, as defined in the Plan.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in Section 404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2550.404c-1, and the fiduciaries of the Plan may be relieved of liability for any losses that are the direct and necessary result of investment instructions given by a participant or beneficiary.

Administration

The Administrative Committee is the Plan administrator. The Investment Committee has the responsibility to monitor the performance of the trustee, investment funds and investment managers, and select, remove, and replace the trustee, any investment fund and any investment manager. The Benefits Committee has the authority and responsibility to determine whether to override the terms of the Plan which require the availability of common stock issued by The Williams Companies, Inc. The Benefits Committee, in its settlor capacity, may amend the Plan, provided it is a nonmaterial amendment as detailed in the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (“FMTC”) is the trustee and record keeper. Additionally, Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., provides certain other record keeping services for the Plan.

Contributions

Each eligible participant has contribution accounts consisting primarily of, as applicable, pre-tax, Roth, catchup, rollover, and employer contribution accounts. Certain participants may also have additional contribution accounts, as applicable.

5

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

Each eligible employee participant may contribute from 1 percent to a maximum of 50 percent of their eligible compensation per pay period on a pre-tax and/or Roth basis. The maximum pre-tax and/or Roth contribution percentage for Highly Compensated Employees is subject to periodic adjustment in order to meet discrimination testing requirements and certain annual maximum statutory limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The Employer will contribute an amount equal to 100 percent of each participant’s contribution per pay period up to a maximum of 6 percent of their eligible compensation. In addition, the Plan allows for discretionary Employer contributions. No such discretionary Employer contributions were made in 2022.

Additionally, eligible active employees who are not eligible to receive compensation credits under Williams’ defined benefit pension plan are eligible to receive a 4.5 percent Employer Fixed Annual Contribution made by Williams. The Employer Fixed Annual Contribution is made after the end of each Plan year and included in Contribution receivable on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Eligible employees generally must be an active employee at year end to receive this contribution, with exceptions for retirement, disability, death, divestiture, and reduction in force.

The Plan also includes an automatic enrollment feature. Eligible participants who do not make an affirmative election to contribute or an affirmative election not to contribute within 60 days of hire are automatically enrolled in the Plan. If automatically enrolled, 3 percent of the participant’s eligible compensation is withheld on a pre-tax basis and invested in the default investment option designated by the Investment Committee. The participant has the right to change the contribution percentage, elect to discontinue contributions to the Plan, or make investment changes at any time.

Participants may elect to invest in various investment options subject to certain restrictions and provided they allocate their contribution in multiples of 1 percent. Investment options include common/collective trusts, common stocks including common stocks held within separately managed accounts, mutual funds, and a self-directed brokerage fund. A participant may change their investment election at any time. Participants may also exchange or rebalance any investment in their Plan account in accordance with the Plan’s investment provisions.

The Plan does not allow participants’ contributions, including employer and employee contributions, loan payments, and rollovers to be made or invested in shares of Williams common stock. A small amount of Williams common stock continues to be held in the Transtock and WESOP Accounts within the Plan’s Legacy WMB Stock Fund. Dividend payments on Williams common stock not passed through to the participant continue to be reinvested in additional shares of Williams common stock until the participant elects to receive such dividends in cash.

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

Vesting

Participants have a nonforfeitable vested interest in the current fair value of the assets purchased with their contributions. Eligible participants become 20 percent vested in the employer contributions made on their behalf after one year of service as defined by the Plan. Such vesting increases an additional 20 percent for each year of service, and participants become 100 percent vested upon five years of service. In addition, a participant may become totally vested in their account by reason of their death, total and permanent disability, attainment of age 65, eligibility to receive early retirement benefits under a pension plan of Williams, reduction in work force, complete discontinuance of employer contributions, or termination or partial termination of the Plan. Upon certain sales of assets or companies, participants that have an involuntary termination of employment as a result of such sale are also 100 percent vested.

Employer contributions that are not vested at the time a participant withdraws from the Plan by reason of termination of employment, other than permanent job elimination or permanent reduction in work force, are used for certain items as specified in the Plan document, including the reduction of future employer contributions and payment of Plan expenses. During 2022, employer contributions were reduced by $1,016,386 from forfeited nonvested accounts.

Distributions and in-service withdrawals

Participants are entitled to receive the vested portion of their account when they cease to be an employee of Williams for any reason including retirement. Upon termination of service, a participant has distribution options available as outlined in the Plan.

Generally, the payment of benefits under the Plan shall be made in cash. However, with respect to amounts held in the Plan’s Legacy WMB Stock Fund, the participant may request payment of benefits under the Plan in common stock held within the fund.

Eligible employee participants may request a partial withdrawal from the Plan of their rollover contribution accounts and a portion, as defined in the Plan document, of their Prior Plans After-Tax Account. Eligible employee participants may make two such withdrawals during any Plan year and are not suspended from participation in the Plan following such a withdrawal. Outstanding loans will reduce the amount available for partial withdrawals.

Eligible participants who have completed two years of service and who are employees may request an additional in-service withdrawal from the Plan. The amount available for this withdrawal is calculated as defined in the Plan, but in no event shall it exceed the vested portion of the participant’s Employer Matching Contribution Account, Employer Cash Contribution Account, and the balance of the After-Tax Account. Outstanding loans will reduce the amount available for additional in-service withdrawals. Upon electing an additional in-service withdrawal, a participant is suspended from participation in the Plan for three months. Only one such withdrawal may be made every 12 months.
7

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

A participant who is at least age 59½ may request a post-59½ withdrawal from the Plan. The withdrawal can include the vested portion of certain of the participant’s employer and employee contribution accounts. Outstanding loans will reduce the amount available for post-59½ withdrawals. Such withdrawal may be requested at any time and does not cause the participant to be suspended from the Plan.

An eligible employee participant who has a balance in a WESOP Account or Transtock Account may withdraw such balance at any time. Such withdrawal does not cause the participant to be suspended from the Plan.

Withdrawals from an eligible employee participant’s Pre-Tax Account and Roth Account before age 59½ may be made if the participant has suffered a financial hardship condition, as defined in the Plan. Such withdrawal does not cause the participant to be suspended from the Plan.

A participant who is under age 59½ and is totally and permanently disabled, as defined in the Plan, may make a withdrawal from the eligible amounts in their Pre-Tax Account and Roth Account or request a full distribution from the Plan.

Participant loans

The Plan permits eligible employee participants to obtain up to two loans from their account balances within specified limitations. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the aggregate of the highest outstanding balances of such loans during the immediately preceding 12-month period, or 50 percent of their vested balance. Loan terms may not exceed 58 months unless the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the loan term may not exceed 25 years. Periodic principal and interest payments are reinvested according to the participant’s current investment election on file. The interest rate is equal to the prime rate of interest plus one percentage point or such other rate as the Administrative Committee shall specify. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. If the participant’s employment is terminated, the participant may continue to make principal and interest payments subject to certain limitations. Participants may make additional partial payments of the loan at any time and in such form as required by the record keeper.

Other
Each participant has their own individual account. Contributions and investment earnings are recorded to individual participant accounts. Plan investments are valued daily. The fair value per share of each fund is multiplied by the number of shares of the fund held in the participant’s account to arrive at their account balance.

8

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

Net investment income (loss), including the net change in fair value of investments, on assets held in allocated accounts is applied to the individual participant accounts based on each participant’s account balances.

The ESOP allows for the election of dividend pass-through, which are cash dividends paid directly to participants, for the dividends received on the shares of Williams common stock held within the Plan’s ESOP.

While the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Williams Board of Directors has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it may do so, in its settlor capacity, at any time. In the event of any Plan termination, assets of the Plan will be distributed in accordance with the Plan document.

Note 2--Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of accounting

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. However, benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

Notes receivable from participants

Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any estimated accrued and unpaid interest. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced, and a withdrawal is recorded. Thus, no allowance for credit losses is required or recorded.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Plan’s Administrative Committee to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, accompanying notes, and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and participants’ account balances.

9

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

Investment valuation and income recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A discussion of fair value measurements is included in Note 3.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis, which may result in amounts due to or from brokers related to unsettled trades. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net increase (decrease) in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

Contributions

Participant contributions are recorded when Williams makes payroll deductions from eligible Plan participants. Employer contributions are accrued in the period in which they become obligations of Williams.

Administrative expenses

Certain administrative expenses of the Plan, including audit and legal fees, are paid by Williams.

Note 3--Fair value measurements

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Fair value balances are classified based on the observability of those inputs. The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Plan’s Level 1 investments primarily consist of mutual funds, common stocks, and money market funds that are traded on U.S. exchanges, as well as interest-bearing cash. The Plan’s Level 2 investments primarily consist of common stocks traded on foreign exchanges, certificates of deposit, and government and corporate bonds. The Plan’s Level 3 investments primarily consist of private placement common stocks that are not traded on an exchange.

The fair values of common stocks traded on U.S. exchanges and exchange-traded funds within the self-directed brokerage fund are derived from quoted market prices as of the close of business on the last business day of the Plan year. The fair value of common stocks traded on foreign exchanges are also derived from quoted market prices as of the close of business on an active foreign exchange on the last business day of the Plan year. The valuation requires

THE WILLIAMS INVESTMENT PLUS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022

translation of the foreign currency to U.S. dollars, and the foreign exchange rate used in the translation is considered an observable input to the valuation. Shares of money market funds and mutual funds are valued at fair value based on published market prices as of the close of business on the last business day of the Plan year, which represent the net asset values (“NAV”) of the shares held by the Plan. The carrying value of interest-bearing cash approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of this investment. The units of the common/collective trusts are valued at fair value using the NAV practical expedient as determined by the issuer based on the current fair values of the underlying assets of the fund (see Note 4). There have been no significant changes in the preceding valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The valuation methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, with the exception of the common/collective trusts measured at fair value using the NAV practical expedient. The combined fair value for the common/collective trusts is provided to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Note 4--Common/collective trusts

The Plan holds investments in several common/collective trusts that invest primarily in mutual funds, fixed income securities, and international equity securities. These common/collective trusts have no unfunded commitments. Generally, participant-directed redemptions occur daily. In some cases, FMTC may require up to ten days to settle these redemptions. However, FMTC may require additional notice for redemptions directed by a plan sponsor.

Additionally, the Plan holds investments in the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II Fund (“MIP II Fund”), a common/collective trust, which is managed by FMTC as trustee (“MIP II Fund Trustee”). Participant-directed withdrawals of MIP II Fund units may be made on any business day. Participant-directed exchanges to another investment option may be made on any business day as long as the exchange is not directed into a competing fund (money market funds or certain other types of fixed income funds). Transferred amounts must be held in a noncompeting investment option for 90 days before subsequent transfers to a competing fund may occur. Withdrawals directed by a plan sponsor must be preceded by 12-months written notice to the MIP II Fund Trustee. The MIP II Fund Trustee may in its discretion complete any such plan-level withdrawals before the expiration of such 12-month period. Additionally, the MIP II Fund Trustee may defer completing a withdrawal directed by a participant or plan sponsor where doing so might adversely affect the MIP II Fund portfolio. The MIP II Fund Trustee shall make the payments available as quickly as cash flows and prudent portfolio management permit.

Note 5--Transactions with parties-in-interest

Certain investments held by the Plan are managed by the trustee. Additionally, certain investments held within the Plan are in Williams common stock. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

Note 6--Tax status and federal income taxes

The Plan has received a determination letter from the IRS dated July 24, 2015, stating that the Plan, as amended, is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan has been further amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualified status. The Plan administrator has indicated it will take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain the Plan’s compliance with the Code.

Plan management is required by generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement impact of a tax position must be recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on its technical merits, to be

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit payments that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, but not yet paid as of that date.

Note 8--Subsequent event

On February 14, 2023, Williams acquired 100 percent of MountainWest Pipelines Holding Company (“MountainWest”). MountainWest sponsored a defined contribution plan, MountainWest Pipelines 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (“MWP 401(k)”). The MWP 401(k) plan was terminated effective February 13, 2023. Former employees of MountainWest became Williams employees eligible for plan participation effective February 14, 2023, and were credited with prior service for vesting purposes under the Plan.
