Item 8.01. Other Events.
On
June 28, 2007, Williams Partners L.P. (the
Partnership), through its subsidiary Williams Partners
Operating LLC (OLLC), closed on the acquisition of an additional 20% limited
liability company interest in Discovery Producer Services LLC
(Discovery) for aggregate consideration of $78 million
pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement
with Williams Energy, L.L.C., Williams Energy Services, LLC, and
OLLC. This transaction was effective July
1, 2007.
Because
this additional 20% interest in Discovery was purchased from an
affiliate of The Williams Companies, Inc. at the
time of acquisition, the transaction was between entities under common control, and has been accounted for
at historical cost. Accordingly, the Partnerships consolidated financial statements and notes have been
restated to reflect the combined historical results of its investment in Discovery throughout the periods
presented. The Partnerships restated financial statements and notes are filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto
and are incorporated herein by reference.

current report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto (with the
exception of the supplemental unaudited balance sheet of Williams Partners GP LLC as of June 30, 2007) are being filed as supplements to the

Commission. Except as required, the information in this current report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto
have not been updated and are not intended to provide supplemental financial or other information with
respect to any period subsequent to March 31, 2007. To update such information, please read the
