Dear Fellow Shareholder:
We have previously mailed you proxy materials for the ONE Gas, Inc. Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 21, 2020.
According to our latest records we have not yet received your vote. The Annual Meeting is now only a short time away and your vote is important. Please vote your shares via the internet or by telephone following the instructions on the enclosed Voting Instruction Form or sign and return your Voting Instruction Form today in order to make sure that your shares will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your desires.
If you hold your shares in the name of a brokerage firm, your broker cannot vote your shares on several of the proposals unless your broker receives your specific instructions.
Your board of directors recommends that you vote:
| (1) | FOR the election of eight director nominees named in the proxy statement to serve on our board for a one-year term; |
| (2) | FOR the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020; and |
| (3) | FOR the advisory proposal to approve our executive compensation. |
In the event that your proxy materials have been misplaced, we are enclosing for your use a duplicate Voting Instruction Form and return envelope.
Please follow the telephone or internet voting instructions on your Voting Form or sign and date the enclosed Voting Instruction Form and vote your shares today. In the event that two voting forms are received from you, the one bearing the latest date will be counted, as it automatically revokes all prior votes.
We are actively monitoring the public health and travel concerns relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the annual meeting of shareholders in person, we will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting, which may include a change in venue or holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. Please monitor the Company’s website at www.onegas.com under the Investors tab for updated information. If you are planning to attend the meeting, please check the website one week prior to the meeting date.
Thank you for voting and for your continued support.
| Sincerely, |
|
| John W. Gibson, |
| Chairman of the Board |
