Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Williams

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Williams’ management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) of the Exchange Act) (Disclosure Controls) or internal control over financial reporting (Internal Controls) will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Williams monitors the Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls and makes modifications as necessary; Williams’ intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls will be modified as systems change and conditions warrant.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Williams’ Disclosure Controls was performed as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the

participation of management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that these Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Williams purchased Rimrock as part of the Rimrock Asset Purchase on January 31, 2025. Rimrock’s total revenues constituted approximately 1 percent of total revenues as shown in Williams’ consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Rimrock’s total assets constituted approximately 1 percent of total assets as shown in Williams’ consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025. As disclosed in Note 3 – Acquisitions and Divestitures, Williams acquired Crowheart on November 1, 2024, and its total revenues constituted approximately 1 percent of total revenues as shown in Williams’ consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Crowheart’s total assets constituted approximately 1 percent of total assets as shown in Williams’ consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2025. Williams has excluded Rimrock’s and Crowheart’s disclosure controls and procedures that are subsumed by their internal control over financial reporting from the scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Williams’ disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the guidance issued by the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that an assessment of recent business combinations may be omitted from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for 1 year following the acquisition.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the second quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Williams’ Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Transco

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
