Yes. I do.

Perhaps it is due to the fact they were in the middle of an auction?

Maybe once it's figured out and if they remain as they currently are, they will announce a div?

What is interesting is that the history for declaration has long passed. They declared Aug 21st in 2013 and 2014.... and 2015 they have gone silent?

Odd indeed.

Looks like they pay late September, so that's in our favor. There is plenty of time to declare and still pay out in this month keeping with the schedule.

Williams Increases Quarterly Dividend to $0.64 per Share or $2.56 Annualized

Today : Saturday 12 September 2015

Williams' (NYSE: WMB) board of directors has approved a regular dividend of $0.64 on the company’s common stock, payable September 30, 2015, to holders of record at the close of business September 24, 2015.

The new amount is an increase of $0.08, or 14 percent, from the third-quarter 2014 dividend and an increase of $0.05, or 8.5 percent, from the previous quarter. The increase is consistent with dividend guidance Williams issued July 29, 2015 as part of its second-quarter earnings announcement.

The process to explore a range of strategic alternatives announced by Williams on June 21, 2015, following receipt of an unsolicited proposal to acquire Williams, is ongoing.

Williams has paid a common stock dividend every quarter since 1974
