Williams' WMB board of directors has approved a regular dividend of $0.25 on the company's common stock, payable Dec. 27, 2011, to holders of record at the close of business on Dec. 9. The new dividend amount is a 25-percent increase over the previous level and is double the amount paid in December 2010.
This dividend increase, which was announced on Sept. 6, is part of Williams' transformation into a premier high-growth, high-dividend energy infrastructure company. Williams expects continued 10 to 15 percent annual dividend increases.
