TULSA, Okla., Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC ("Transco"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ), announced that it has priced its previously announced $375 million offering of senior notes due 2041. The notes, scheduled to be delivered on Aug 12, 2011, were priced with a 5.40-percent coupon and at an offering price of 99.338 percent of par, with a yield to investors of 5.445 percent.

Transco intends to use $300 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repay its $300 million of 7-percent notes due 2011, upon their maturity on Aug. 15.  The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
