Business Wire
Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) today announced a regular
quarterly cash distribution of $0.85 per unit for its common
unitholders. The distribution is consistent with the prior
quarter.
The board of directors of the partnership's general partner has
approved the quarterly cash distribution, which is payable on Nov.
11, 2016, to common unitholders of record at the close of business
on Nov. 4, 2016.
This announcement is intended to be a qualified notice to
nominees under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b)(4) and (d).
The partnership’s distributions to foreign investors, which are
attributable to income that is effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business, are subject to withholding under U.S. law. In
light of the uncertainty at the time of making distributions
regarding the portion of any distribution that is attributable to
income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or
business, we treat all of our distributions as attributable to U.S.
operations. Accordingly, the entire amount of the partnership's
distributions to foreign investors is subject to federal income tax
withholding at the highest effective tax rate. Nominees, and not
Williams Partners L.P., are treated as withholding agents
responsible for withholding on the distributions received by them
on behalf of foreign investors.
