Item 5.   Other Events

 

On October 3, 2003, ONEOK, Inc. announced it has learned that some information it had furnished industry publications was inaccurate. This was discovered as a result of an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It should be noted that many energy industry companies routinely report transaction information to industry publications, but ONEOK ceased providing such pricing information in 2002.

 

In January 2003, the company received a subpoena from the CFTC requesting information regarding trading and information provided by the company to energy industry publications. ONEOK is fully cooperating with the CFTC in its investigation and will continue its own internal review.
