Item 5. Other Events
All references in this Form 8-K to we, our, us or similar references mean ONEOK, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Westar Energy, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westar Industries, Inc., (collectively, Westar) have priced a secondary offering of 9.5 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $19.00 per share, which will result in gross offering proceeds to Westar of approximately $180.5 million. We will not receive any proceeds from this offering.
Since Westar will receive in excess of $150 million of total proceeds from the offering, we will repurchase $50 million, or approximately 2.6 million shares of our common stock from Westar at the public offering price of $19.00 per share immediately following closing of the offering.
Of the shares being sold in the Westar public offering, approximately 7.9 million shares will represent our common stock issuable upon conversion of our $0.925 Series D Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Westar. The remaining shares consist of approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock owned by Westar.
As a result of the offering and repurchase transactions, and excluding the shares covered by the underwriters over-allotment option, Westar will beneficially own approximately 15% of our stock, assuming the conversion of the remaining shares of our $0.925 Series D Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
