April 6 (Reuters) - Williams Companies Inc (NYSE:WMB) WMB.N has sued
Energy Transfer Equity LP ETE.N to block a private preferred
share offering disclosed last month, saying it was a breach of
their merger agreement.
The offering provides certain Energy Transfer investors
preferential treatment on its distributions, Williams said in a
statement.
Williams also said it was suing Kelcy Warren, chairman of
the general partner of Energy Transfer.
