prospectus. Terms used in this summary have the meanings given to them in the Plan. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>The Plan amends and restates in its entirety
our prior Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Current participants will automatically continue to participate in the Plan, as set forth in &#147;Information about the Plan.&#148; </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Purpose of Plan </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The purpose of the Plan
is to provide a cost-free and convenient way for our shareholders to invest all or a portion of their cash dividends in additional shares of our Common Stock. The Plan also provides us with a means of raising additional capital through the direct
sale of our Common Stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Eligibility and Enrollment </B></P>

submitting a completed <I>Account Authorization Form </I>by mail. You may participate directly in the Plan only if you hold our Common Stock in your own name. If you hold shares through a brokerage or other account, you may participate directly in
the Plan by having your shares transferred into your own name or you may arrange to have your broker or other custodian participate on your behalf. In order to participate in the Plan, you must elect to reinvest a minimum of 10% of the dividends (if
any) paid on shares held in the Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not own any shares of our Common Stock, you can participate in the Plan by making an
initial optional cash investment in our Common Stock of at least $250 plus the $10 enrollment fee by check, one time online investment or by automatic withdrawals from your account at a U.S. or Canadian financial institution as long as the funds are
in U.S. dollars. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ONEOK reserves the right to exclude from participation in the Plan persons who utilize the Plan to engage in short-term

Current shareholders can invest a minimum of $25 and a maximum of $10,000 in any month. Purchases may be made by check, one time online investment or by automatic withdrawals from your account at a U.S. or Canadian financial institution as long as
the funds are in U.S. dollars. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">New investors can buy their first shares directly through the Plan. The minimum initial cash investment is

trading days ending on either the dividend payment date during any month in which we pay a cash dividend or the 15th day of any month in which we do not pay a cash dividend (or if either date is not a trading day, then the first trading day
immediately preceding such date). On each of the ten Purchase Dates, EQ will pay a price equal to 100% (subject to change as provided below) of the average of the daily high and low sales prices for a share of our Common Stock reported by the New
York Stock Exchange computed to four decimal places. Purchases by EQ during the pricing period may be subject to a minimum price, as more fully described below. </P>

purpose of the Plan is to provide our shareholders and other investors with a convenient and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">low-cost</FONT> method of purchasing shares of Common Stock and reinvesting all or a portion of their cash dividends in
additional shares of Common Stock. The Plan allows current shareholders and interested new investors the opportunity to invest cash dividends and optional cash investments in additional shares of our Common Stock without payment of any processing
fee or service fee. To the extent additional shares are purchased directly from us, the Plan also provides us a means of raising additional capital through the direct sale of shares of Common Stock. The Plan is primarily intended for the benefit of
long-term investors, and not for the benefit of individuals or institutions who engage in short-term trading activities that could cause aberrations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale
of newly-issued shares of Common Stock or treasury stock for one or more of the following, depending upon circumstances at the time of such sales: repayment of indebtedness, investments in assets, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

for participants, processes purchasing of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, keeps records of the accounts of participants, sends regular reports of account activity to participants and performs other duties relating to the Plan. Shares
purchased for each participant under the Plan will be credited to that participant&#146;s account maintained by EQ, unless and until a participant submits a written request for the issuance of a stock certificate for all or part of the shares or
requests the sale of all or part of the shares. EQ also serves as dividend disbursement agent, transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock. EQ reserves the right to resign at any time upon reasonable notice to us. </P>

generally will consist of one to 15 consecutive trading days, unless the pricing period is extended as described below. On each trading day, we will generally apply an equal portion of the amount approved for investment pursuant to a Large Cash
Purchase request to the purchase of shares of Common Stock, subject to the qualifications described below. Each day in the pricing period on which shares of Common Stock are purchased is referred to as a &#147;Purchase Date.&#148; The price for

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may establish for each pricing period a minimum, or &#147;threshold,&#148; price
applicable to purchases made pursuant to a Large Cash Purchase request (a &#147;Minimum Waiver Price&#148;). We will make this determination in our discretion after a review of, among other factors, current market conditions, the level of
participation in the Plan and our current and projected capital needs. We will notify an investor of the establishment of a threshold price at the time the Large Cash Purchase request has been approved. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If established for any pricing period, the threshold price will be stated as a dollar amount which the composite volume weighted average price
of shares of Common Stock, rounded to four decimal places, as traded during regular New York Stock Exchange hours, must equal or exceed for each trading day of such pricing period (not adjusted for discounts, if any) in order for such trading day to
be considered a Purchase Date. Except as provided below, any trading day for which such volume weighted average price is less than the applicable threshold price will not be considered a Purchase Date, and no funds will be invested in shares of
Common Stock on that date. Funds that are not invested will be returned without interest, as described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will return, without

any trading day during a pricing period or extension, as applicable. Any such uninvested funds will be returned within five business days after the last day of the applicable pricing period, as it may be extended. The amount returned will be based
on the number of days on which the threshold price was not satisfied or no trades were reported on the composite exchanges compared to the total number of days in the pricing period or extended pricing period, as applicable. For example, the amount
returned for a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">ten-day</FONT> pricing period will equal <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-tenth</FONT> of the total amount of your proposed Large Cash Purchase investment for each trading day on which the
threshold price is not satisfied or shares of Common Stock are not traded on the composite exchanges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The establishment of the Minimum
Waiver Price and the possible return of a portion of the investment applies only to optional cash investments in excess of $10,000 per month made pursuant to a granted waiver. Setting a Minimum Waiver Price for a pricing period will not affect the
setting of a Minimum Waiver Price for any other pricing period. We may waive our right to set a Minimum Waiver Price for any particular month. </P>

Administrator together with instructions to deposit the certificate(s). The certificate(s) will show as surrendered with the corresponding credit to Plan shares. The transaction will appear on the Plan account statement, and shares will be held by
the Plan Administrator in its name or nominee name. These shares will be held until the participant sells, withdraws or terminates participation in the Plan. Because the participant bears the risk of loss in sending stock certificate(s), it is
recommended that the participant sends them registered, insured for at least 5% of the current market value and request a return receipt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>17. Can I

certificated shares you may deposit for safekeeping, will be credited to your account. EQ will report the number of shares (including fractional shares) credited to your account as soon as administratively possible after each purchase. You may
obtain a certificate for all or any portion of the whole shares credited to your account at any time by sending in a written request to EQ. Any remaining whole or fractional shares will continue to be credited to your account. If you request a
certificate for all shares credited to your account, a certificate will be issued for the whole shares and a cash payment will be made for any remaining fractional share. That cash payment will be based upon the then-current market price of our
Common Stock, less any service fee, any applicable processing fee and any other costs of sale. Withdrawal of shares in the form of a certificate in no way affects dividend reinvestment or payment of cash dividends on those shares. </P>

the shares of Common Stock are traded. Depending on the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold and current trading volume, sale transactions may be completed in multiple transactions and over the course of more than one day. All sales are
subject to market conditions, system availability, restrictions and other factors. The actual sale date, time or price received for any shares sold through the Plan cannot be guaranteed. </P>

executed in multiple transactions and may be traded on more than one day. The order or any unexecuted portion will be automatically canceled if the price is not met by the end of the order period. The order may also be canceled by the applicable

participant requests net proceeds to be automatically deposited to a checking or savings account, the participant must provide a voided blank check for a checking account or blank savings deposit slip for a savings account. If the participant is
unable to provide a voided check or deposit slip, the participant&#146;s written request must have the participant&#146;s signature(s) medallion guaranteed by an eligible financial institution for direct deposit. Requests for automatic deposit of

participant who wishes to sell shares currently held in certificate form may send them in for deposit to the Plan Administrator and then proceed with the sale. To sell shares through a broker of their choice, the participant may request the broker
to transfer shares electronically from the Plan account to the participant&#146;s brokerage account. Alternatively, a stock certificate can be requested in writing that the participant can deliver to their broker. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is believed by us to be an accurate summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan as of
the date of this prospectus. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This summary of U.S. federal income tax consequences is for general information, is not legal advice and
does not reflect the tax consequences of every possible situation that could result from participation in the Plan. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), U.S. Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder (the &#147;Treasury Regulations&#148;), and administrative rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change. This summary does not apply to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> participants, except as specifically indicated below under &#147;Withholding,&#148; and is limited to participants who hold shares of Common Stock as capital assets (generally, property that is held
as an investment). Further, this summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may affect participants in light of their particular circumstances, or to participants subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income
tax law. It also does not address any U.S. federal estate or gift tax consequences, any state, local or foreign tax consequences or the Medicare tax on net investment income. You should consult your own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences of participation in the Plan in light of your own particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividend
Reinvestment </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, with respect to cash dividends paid by us and reinvested under the Plan, you will be treated for U.S.
federal income tax purposes as though you actually received a distribution in cash that will be treated as dividend income to you to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax
principles. If shares of Common Stock are purchased by EQ directly from us with reinvested dividends, you generally will be treated as having received a distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock purchased with the
reinvested dividends on the applicable Purchase Date. The shares of Common Stock acquired directly from us by dividend reinvestment should have a tax basis for determining gain or loss equal to the fair market value of the shares on the applicable
Purchase Date. With respect to reinvested dividends used to purchase shares in open market transactions, you generally will be treated as having received a distribution equal to the cash dividend used to purchase those shares and your allocable
portion of any processing fee paid by us with respect to shares purchased for your account. The tax basis for any shares of Common Stock purchased in open market transactions with reinvested dividends should be equal to the weighted average purchase
price of all shares purchased for the applicable Purchase Date increased by your allocable portion of any processing fee paid by us with respect to shares purchased for your account. See Question 14. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Optional Cash Investments </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you make optional cash investments to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan, any discount provided by the Plan for such investment
will be treated as a distribution taxable to you as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. The amount treated as a distribution will be the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired on the
applicable Purchase Date over the purchase price paid by you for the shares purchased. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The amount of any discount provided by the Plan on
a purchase of shares of Common Stock will be treated and accounted for as a distribution, irrespective of whether you are participating in dividend reinvestment under the Plan. You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the appropriate tax
treatment of any optional cash investment to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Plan in which a discount is provided to you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Shares
of Common Stock acquired with optional cash investments should have a tax basis equal to the amount paid for the shares. If shares of Common Stock acquired by optional cash investments are purchased at a discount, the tax basis of the shares should
be the fair market value of the shares purchased with an optional cash investment. If shares of Common Stock are purchased in open market transactions with optional cash investments you make under the Plan, your basis will be increased by your
allocable portion of any processing fee paid by us with respect to shares purchased for your account. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If shares of Common Stock are
purchased in open market transactions with optional cash investments you make under the Plan, you will also realize a distribution to the extent of an allocated portion of any processing fees paid by us with respect to shares purchased. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Withholding </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The dividends reinvested and the proceeds of the sale of shares under the Plan may be subject to U.S. federal backup withholding in certain
circumstances. EQ will furnish necessary forms and instructions concerning the application of backup withholding rules. Any amounts required to be withheld under these rules will be deducted from the dividends reinvested and/or proceeds of any sale
of shares, and the remaining amount reinvested or paid. In the case of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> participants who are subject to U.S. tax withholding, EQ will reinvest dividends less the amount of tax required to be withheld
and make any other withholdings required by applicable rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code
(such Sections commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or &#147;FATCA&#148;) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> entities.
Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Common Stock paid to a &#147;foreign financial
institution&#148; or a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-financial</FONT> foreign entity&#148; (each as defined in the Code), unless (i)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations,
(ii)&nbsp;the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity either certifies it does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each
substantial United States owner or (iii)&nbsp;the foreign financial institution or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial
institution, and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i)&nbsp;above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by
certain &#147;specified United States persons&#148; or &#147;United States owned foreign entities&#148; (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant
foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends on
Common Stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross
proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If
withholding is required under these rules, the appropriate amount of tax will be deducted from dividends and from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock, and only the remaining amount will be reinvested or paid. Prospective participants should
consult with their own tax advisors regarding FATCA and the application of these requirements to an investment in Common Stock acquired through the Plan. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Sale of Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you
receive a cash payment for the sale of shares credited to your account, there may be gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and your tax basis in the shares sold. In general, any gain or loss will be a capital
gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the shares for more than one year. The holding period for shares of Common Stock purchased under the Plan will begin the day after the date the shares are acquired regardless
of the source of purchase. Consequently, shares of Common Stock acquired at different times will have different holding periods. Long-term capital gain of an individual is generally taxed at favorable rates. The deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations. You should consult with your own tax advisor to determine the specific tax consequences of any particular sale of shares to be made and the treatment of any fractional shares of Common Stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Tax Information Reporting </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The dividends paid to you as a shareholder, and any processing fees paid by us on your behalf, as described above, will be reported on the
appropriate IRS forms, which will be sent to you and the Internal Revenue Service following the end of the year of payment. Shares of Common Stock sold through EQ will be reported on IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1099-B,</FONT> which
will be sent to you and the Internal Revenue Service following the end of the year of the sale. Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1099-B</FONT> will state the amount of the sale proceeds and the tax basis of shares sold. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Plan qualifies as a dividend reinvestment plan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">1.1012-1(e)(6)(i),</FONT> which enables participants to use the &#147;average basis method&#148; in certain circumstances (as discussed below) when determining the tax basis of any shares sold. As a result, in order
to participate in the Plan, you must elect to reinvest a minimum of 10% of the dividends (if any) paid on shares held in the Plan. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Plan assumes that each participant will use the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-in,</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-out</FONT> &#147;FIFO&#148; method when determining the tax basis of any shares sold. Participants may designate
their preference for a different method of determining the tax basis of shares sold by identifying this preference in writing to EQ. Participants may designate their preference for &#147;specific identification&#148; cost basis at any time or may
designate their preference for the average basis method effective for sales occurring after the election. Federal tax regulations require the FIFO tax lot selection method after the average cost basis election has been made. If a participant chooses
to receive a dividend in cash, or reinvest less than 10% of a dividend, the participant is not eligible to utilize the average basis method for sale of shares through the Plan. Participants should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the
tax consequences of participation in the Plan and determination of the tax basis of any shares sold. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the Plan, we may be requested to approve optional cash investments in excess of the allowable maximum amounts pursuant to requests
for waiver on behalf of participants that may be engaged in the securities business. In deciding whether to approve such a request, we will consider relevant factors including, but not limited to, whether the Plan is then acquiring newly issued
shares of Common Stock or acquiring shares through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, our need for additional funds, the attractiveness of obtaining those funds by the sale of Common Stock under the Plan in comparison to
other sources of funds, the purchase price likely to apply to any sale of Common Stock, the participant submitting the request, including the extent and nature of the participant&#146;s prior participation in the Plan and the number of shares of
Common Stock held of record by the participant, the aggregate number of requests for waiver that have been submitted by all participants and federal and state securities laws. </P>

positions, under certain circumstances, may be participating in a distribution of securities that would require compliance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and may be considered to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act. We
will not extend to any person any rights or privileges other than those to which it would be entitled as a participant, nor will we enter into any agreement with any person regarding their purchase of shares or any resale or distribution of shares.
We may, however, approve requests for optional cash investments by them in excess of allowable maximum limitations. If requests are submitted for an aggregate amount in excess of the amount we are willing to accept, we may honor requests in order of
receipt, pro rata or by any other method which we determine to be appropriate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will be responsible for all fees, commissions or
expenses in connection with the Plan, except for the initial, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-time</FONT> enrollment fee (currently $10.00) and that, if you direct EQ to sell shares of Common Stock credited to your account, EQ will deduct from
the sales proceeds any applicable service fee (currently $15.00 per sale transaction for Batch Orders), any applicable processing fee (currently $0.10 per share sold) and any other costs of sale (currently $5.00 for net sale proceeds via direct
deposits). These fees may change at any time without notice to you. You will also be responsible for any fees, commissions and expenses associated with sales of any fractional shares you own. </P>

shares of Common Stock or treasury stock for one or more of the following, depending upon circumstances at the time of such sales: repayment of indebtedness, investments in assets, working capital, and general corporate purposes. Pending those uses,
we may temporarily invest the net proceeds in short-term investments consistent with our investment policies. </P>

indemnification agreements provide that ONEOK is obligated to indemnify the specified director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law. The agreements provide that, upon request by a director or officer, ONEOK is obligated to advance
expenses for defense of a claim made against the director or officer. The obligation of ONEOK to indemnify the director or officer is subject to applicable law and the determination by a &#147;reviewing party&#148; selected by the board of directors
that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification. In addition, the agreements obligate ONEOK to indemnify the specified officer or director to the extent of ONEOK&#146;s recoveries under insurance policies regardless of whether the
director or officer is ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification. The agreements also provide for partial indemnification if a portion of a claim for indemnification is not allowed by the reviewing party appointed by the board of
directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ONEOK provides liability insurance for its directors and officers which provides for coverage against loss from claims made
