Williams Cos shareholder meeting to be held in November

Williams Cos shareholders on record as of Oct. 7 can vote at the Nov. 23 meeting.

Six Williams Cos directors resigned last week

July 8 (Reuters) – Williams Cos Inc, six of whose directors resigned last week after a failed attempt to oust CEO Alan Armstrong, said on Friday its annual shareholder meeting will be held in November.

Six of the pipeline company’s 13 directors, including Chairman Frank MacInnis, resigned after Energy Transfer Equity walked away from its more than $20 billion deal to buy Williams. Kathleen Cooper has replaced MacInnis as chairman.
