(NYSE: MMP), a Delaware limited partnership (“Magellan”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Magellan (the “Merger”), with Magellan continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of ONEOK.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report that address activities, events or developments that ONEOK or Magellan expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “create,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “guidance,” “look,” “goal,” “future,” “build,” “focus,” “continue,” “strive,” “allow” or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed transaction between ONEOK and Magellan (the “Proposed Transaction”), the expected closing of the Proposed Transaction and the timing thereof and as adjusted descriptions of the post-Transaction company and its operations, strategies and plans, integration, debt levels and leverage ratio, capital expenditures, cash flows and anticipated uses thereof, synergies, opportunities and anticipated future performance, including maintaining current ONEOK management, enhancements to investment-grade credit profile, an expected accretion to earnings and free cash flow, dividend payments and potential share repurchases, increase in value of tax attributes and expected impact on EBITDA. Information adjusted for the Proposed Transaction should not be considered a forecast of future results. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this report. These include the risk that ONEOK’s and Magellan’s businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that cost savings, synergies and growth from the Proposed Transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect; the possibility that shareholders of ONEOK may not approve the issuance of new shares of ONEOK common stock in the Proposed Transaction or that shareholders of ONEOK or unitholders of Magellan may not approve the Proposed Transaction; the risk that a condition to closing of the Proposed Transaction may not be satisfied, that either party may terminate the Merger Agreement or that the closing of the Proposed Transaction might be delayed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Proposed Transaction; the risk the parties do not receive regulatory approval of the Proposed Transaction; the occurrence of any other event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction; the risk that ONEOK may not be able to secure the debt financing necessary to fund the cash consideration required for the Proposed Transaction; the risk that changes in ONEOK’s capital structure and governance could have adverse effects on the market value of its securities; the ability of ONEOK and Magellan to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on ONEOK’s and Magellan’s operating results and business generally; the risk the Proposed Transaction could distract management from ongoing business operations or cause ONEOK and/or Magellan to incur substantial costs; the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed transaction; the risk that ONEOK may be unable to reduce expenses or access financing or liquidity; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, any related economic downturn and any related substantial decline in commodity prices; the risk of changes in governmental regulations or enforcement practices, especially with respect to environmental, health and safety matters; and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond ONEOK’s or Magellan’s control, including those detailed in ONEOK’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on ONEOK’s website at www.oneok.com and on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov, and those detailed in Magellan’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10- Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on Magellan’s website at www.magellanlp.com and on the website of the SEC. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that ONEOK and Magellan believe to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither ONEOK nor Magellan undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
On May 14, 2023, ONEOK, Inc. (“ONEOK”), Otter Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”) and Magellan Midstream Partners L.P. (“Magellan”) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides that Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of ONEOK, will merge with and into Magellan, with Magellan surviving the merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ONEOK (the “merger”). If the merger is completed, Magellan unitholders will receive, for each common unit of Magellan (each, a “Magellan Unit”) that they own as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), a combination of (i) $25.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.667 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of common stock of ONEOK, par value $0.01 per share (the “ONEOK Common Stock”) (the “Equity Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).
The merger is anticipated to close during the third quarter of 2023. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) have been prepared from the respective historical consolidated financial statements of ONEOK and Magellan and have been adjusted to reflect the completion of the merger. The Pro Forma Financial Statements and the notes thereto have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effects of the merger in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No 33-10786 replaced the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present in the notes the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Other transactions that are expected to occur as a result of the merger and considered material are included in the Pro Forma Financial Statements as “Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments.” ONEOK has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and only presents Transaction Accounting Adjustments and Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the Pro Forma Financial Statements and notes thereto. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income (the “Pro Forma Statement(s) of Income”) for the year ended December 31, 2022, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are presented as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) is presented as if the merger had been completed on June 30, 2023.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:
| ● | The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ONEOK included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023; |
| ● | The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Magellan included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023; |
| ● | The audited consolidated financial statements of ONEOK included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022; and | |
| ● | The audited consolidated financial statements of Magellan included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 |
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared to reflect adjustments to ONEOK’s historical consolidated financial information that are directly attributable to the merger and factually supportable. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect the following:
Transaction Accounting Adjustments
| ● | The merger, using the acquisition method of accounting, with ONEOK as the accounting acquirer and each Magellan Unit converted into Equity Consideration and Cash Consideration; |
| ● | The first special distribution expected to be made by Magellan, as defined in the Merger Agreement; |
| ● | The estimate of liabilities and expenses directly attributable to the merger; |
| ● | Adjustment of depreciation and amortization related to the step up of depreciable assets to estimated fair value; |
| ● | Elimination of historical transactions between ONEOK and Magellan that would be treated as intercompany transactions after the merger; |
| ● | Application of ONEOK’s statutory tax rate to Magellan’s historical pre-tax income; and |
| ● | Certain reclassifications to conform Magellan’s and ONEOK’s historical consolidated financial information. |
Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments
| ● | ONEOK’s estimated debt financing related to funding the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, including related fees; and |
| ● | Estimated compensation costs expected to result from the post-merger alignment of ONEOK and Magellan. |
The acquisition method of accounting requires fair values to be estimated and determined for the Merger Consideration, as well as the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by ONEOK upon completing the merger, based on the application of the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, “Business Combinations.” As of the date of the Current Report on Form 8-K to which this exhibit forms a part, ONEOK has used currently available information to determine preliminary fair value estimates for the Merger Consideration and its allocation to the Magellan assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Until the merger is completed, ONEOK and Magellan are limited in their ability to share certain information. Therefore, ONEOK estimated the fair value of Magellan’s assets and liabilities based on reviews of Magellan’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), preliminary valuation studies, allowed discussions with Magellan’s management and Magellan GP, LLC (“Magellan GP”) and other due diligence procedures. The assumptions and estimates used to make the preliminary pro forma adjustments are described in the notes accompanying the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
Upon completing the merger, ONEOK will determine the value of the Merger Consideration using the ONEOK Common Stock closing price and Magellan Units outstanding on the merger’s closing date. Additionally, after completing the merger, ONEOK will identify the Magellan assets acquired and liabilities assumed and make final determinations of their fair values using relevant information available at that time. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments with respect to the merger are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. Any increases or decreases in the Merger Consideration and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon completion of the final valuations may be materially different from the information presented in the Pro Forma Financial Statements. Additionally, compensation costs triggered by change in control provisions related to Magellan employees, which are included as Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments, could differ materially from ONEOK’s preliminary estimates, as ONEOK’s post-integration activities develop.
The Pro Forma Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have occurred had the merger occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of the combined company following the merger. ONEOK’s actual financial position and results of operations following completion of the merger may differ materially from these Pro Forma Financial Statements.
As ONEOK has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments, the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Statements exclude projected synergies expected to be achieved as a result of the merger, as well as any associated costs that may be required to achieve the identified synergies, excluding estimated severance and accelerated vesting of equity awards as described in Note C, (k) and (m) adjustments. Further, the Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect the effect of any regulatory actions that may impact the results of the combined company following the merger.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| A. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The ONEOK and Magellan historical financial information have been derived from each respective company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain historical consolidated financial information has been reclassified to conform Magellan’s and ONEOK’s financial statement presentation. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of ONEOK and Magellan.
The Pro Forma Balance Sheet is presented as if the merger had been completed on June 30, 2023. The Pro Forma Statements of Income are presented as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2022.
The merger and related adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on currently available information. All material adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the Pro Forma Financial Statements, in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to represent what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the transactions had actually occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of ONEOK’s future financial position or results of operations. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions and estimates reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Statements.
Upon completion of the merger, ONEOK will perform a comprehensive review of Magellan’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, ONEOK may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, which when conformed, could have a material impact on the Pro Forma Financial Statements. With the information currently available, ONEOK has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Magellan’s historical consolidated financial information to the accounting policies used by ONEOK. As a result, the Pro Forma Financial Statements presented assume there are no differences in accounting policies. However, as discussed in Note C, certain reclassifications have been made to conform Magellan’s and ONEOK’s historical consolidated financial statement presentation.
ONEOK’s historical consolidated financial information included in the Pro Forma Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, includes a non-recurring operational gain of $779 million ($600 million, net of taxes) related to the receipt of insurance proceeds following a fire that occurred in 2022 at ONEOK’s 210 MBbl/d Medford, Oklahoma, natural gas liquids fractionation facility. The gain is recorded within other operating (income) expense, net and is further discussed in ONEOK’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

| B. | PRELIMINARY ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING |
As the accounting acquirer, ONEOK will account for the merger using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The allocation of the preliminary purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based upon ONEOK management’s estimates and assumptions using currently available information. The purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on ONEOK’s financial position and results of operations may be subject to change as ONEOK monitors and interprets the impact that new information may have on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final valuation could differ materially from the preliminary valuation used in the Transaction Accounting Adjustments. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including, but not limited to changes in the estimated fair value of the Equity Consideration issued to Magellan unitholders and changes in the estimated fair value of Magellan’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the merger’s closing date, as management obtains additional information regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary purchase accounting has not assumed any differences between assigned book values and tax bases of Magellan’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Further refinements of ONEOK’s fair values estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for financial reporting and ONEOK’s tax basis reporting could result in material changes to the preliminary purchase accounting. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are not separately discussed within the Pro Forma Financial Statements and related notes have been assumed to be their June 30, 2023 carrying amounts. After completing the merger, ONEOK expects to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, within the measurement period of ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”
The following tables present the preliminary Merger Consideration and preliminary purchase price allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger (millions of dollars and shares/units, except per share/unit data):
| Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation | ||||
| Merger Consideration | ||||
| Magellan public common units outstanding (1) | 202 | |||
| Cash consideration per Magellan Unit (2) | $ | 25.00 | ||
| Cash portion of Merger Consideration | $ | 5,052 | ||
| Magellan public common units outstanding (1) | 202 | |||
| ONEOK Exchange Ratio per Magellan Unit (2) | 0.667 | |||
| Shares of ONEOK Common Stock assumed to be issued | 135 | |||
| ONEOK Common Stock closing price as of July 21, 2023 | $ | 66.49 | ||
| Fair value of equity portion of Merger Consideration | $ | 8,963 | ||
| Fair value of Magellan replacement equity awards (3) | $ | 53 | ||
| Total Merger Consideration (excluding debt assumed) | $ | 14,068 | ||
| (1) | Reflects Magellan public common units outstanding as of July 21, 2023. |
| (2) | Reflects the cash payment amount per Magellan Unit and the exchange ratio per Magellan Unit to be received by the holders of Magellan public common units. |
| (3) | Reflects the fair value of Magellan’s equity awards attributable to employee pre-combination service, which is included in the consideration transferred. The fair value of Magellan’s equity awards after their conversion into ONEOK equity awards attributable to post-combination service will be recognized as expense over the post-combination service period. ONEOK approximated the fair value of Magellan’s equity awards attributable to pre-combination service utilizing information obtained during the due diligence process. |

| Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation | ||||
| Assets acquired: | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 78 | ||
| Accounts receivables, net | 205 | |||
| Inventories | 330 | |||
| Other current assets | 74 | |||
| Net property, plant and equipment | 11,300 | |||
| Investments in unconsolidated affiliates | 1,506 | |||
| Net intangible assets | 1,075 | |||
| Other assets | 117 | |||
| Total assets acquired | 14,685 | |||
| Liabilities assumed: | ||||
| Accounts payable | 138 | |||
| Other current liabilities | 543 | |||
| Long-term debt, excluding current maturities | 4,176 | |||
| Other deferred credits and liabilities | 250 | |||
| Total liabilities assumed | 5,107 | |||
| Total identifiable net assets | 9,578 | |||
| Goodwill | 4,490 | |||
| Total estimated Merger Consideration | $ | 14,068 | ||
From May 12, 2023, the last trading date prior to the initial public announcement of the merger to July 21, 2023, the preliminary value of the Merger Consideration to be issued increased by approximately $373 million, as a result of the increase in the share price for ONEOK Common Stock from $63.72 to $66.49. The final value of Merger Consideration will be determined based on the actual number of shares of ONEOK Common Stock issued and the market price of ONEOK Common Stock at the closing date of the merger. A 10 percent increase or decrease in the closing price of ONEOK Common Stock, as compared to the July 21, 2023 closing price of $66.49, would increase or decrease the Merger Consideration by approximately $896 million, assuming all other factors are held constant.

| C. | PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS |
The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect reclassifications to conform ONEOK’s and Magellan’s financial statement presentations. Adjustments included in the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments” column reflect the impact of the merger. Adjustments included in the “Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments” column reflect financing associated with the merger and estimated compensation costs projected to occur subsequent to the merger. Both of these columns include an estimated tax impact of the pro forma adjustments.
(a) The following reclassifications have been made to conform Magellan’s and ONEOK’s financial statement presentations:
Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023:
| ● | To reclassify $35 million of other accounts receivable to accounts receivables, net; |
| ● | To reclassify $314 million of NGLs and natural gas in storage to inventories; |
| ● | To reclassify $6 million of commodity derivative contracts, net, $16 million of commodity derivative deposits and $10 million of assets held for sale to other current assets; |
| ● | To reclassify $50 million of goodwill and $40 million of other intangibles to goodwill and net intangible assets; |
| ● | To reclassify $8 million of long-term receivables and $95 million of right of use assets to other assets; |
| ● | To reclassify $54 million of accrued payroll and benefits, $94 million of deferred revenue and $13 million of commodity derivative contracts, net to other current liabilities; |
| ● | To reclassify $210 million of accrued product liabilities to commodity imbalance; and |
| ● | To reclassify $92 million of long-term pension and benefits to other deferred credits. |
Pro Forma Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023:
| ● | To reclassify $957 million of transportation and terminals revenues and $11 million of affiliate management fee revenue to services; |
| ● | To reclassify $779 million of product sales revenue to commodity sales; |
| ● | To reclassify $616 million of cost of product sales and $53 million of operating costs, representing fuel and power costs, to cost of sales and fuel; |
| ● | To reclassify $201 million of operating costs and $130 million of general and administrative to operations and maintenance; |
| ● | To reclassify $42 million of earnings of non-controlled entities included in operating income to equity in net earnings from investments, below operating income; |
10
| ● | To reclassify $50 million of operating costs and $5 million of general and administrative costs to general taxes; |
| ● | To reclassify $1 million of gain on disposition of assets and $3 million of interest income to other income (expense), net; and |
| ● | To reclassify $1 million of interest capitalized to interest expense, net of capitalized interest. |
Pro Forma Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022:
| ● | To reclassify $1,302 million of product sales revenue to commodity sales; |
| ● | To reclassify $1,876 million of transportation and terminals revenues and $22 million of affiliate management fee revenue to services; |
| ● | To reclassify $1,119 million of cost of product sales and $105 million of operating costs, representing fuel and power costs, to cost of sales and fuel; |
| ● | To reclassify $391 million of operating costs and $234 million of general and administrative costs to operations and maintenance; |
| ● | To reclassify $96 million of operating costs and $7 million of general and administrative costs to general taxes; |
| ● | To reclassify $148 million of earnings of non-controlled entities included in operating income to equity in net earnings from investments, below operating income; |
| ● | To reclassify $1 million of gain on disposition of assets and $1 million of interest income to other income (expense), net; and |
| ● | To reclassify $2 million of interest capitalized to interest expense, net of capitalized interest. |
(b) These adjustments reflect the adjustment to book value for the preliminary estimated fair value of $14.1 billion in total Merger Consideration allocated to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:
| ● | Net property, plant and equipment: a $5.474 billion increase to Magellan’s net book value. |
| ● | Investments in unconsolidated affiliates: a $647 million increase to Magellan’s book value. |
11
| ● | Goodwill and net intangible assets: a $5.475 billion net increase, attributable to the removal of Magellan’s historical goodwill and other intangible balances of $90 million and the increase resulting from acquired intangible assets and goodwill resulting from the merger. This results in goodwill attributable to the merger of $4.490 billion and intangible assets of $1.075 billion. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, ONEOK identified intangible assets related to contract-based customer relationships. These preliminary estimates of fair value may differ materially from final amounts calculated after completing a detailed valuation analysis. |
| ● | Long-term debt: a net $808 million decrease to Magellan’s book value associated with their assumed debt. This includes the removal of Magellan’s historical balances for debt issuance costs and net unamortized debt premium, as well as the reduction associated with remeasuring Magellan’s debt to fair value. ONEOK utilized publicly traded prices for Magellan’s debt as of July 21, 2023, to estimate the fair value of the assumed debt. |
(c) Reflects a decrease in cash related to the $5.052 billion cash portion of Merger Consideration and a $50 million decrease related to the first special distribution, as defined in the Merger Agreement, expected to be paid by Magellan to Magellan unitholders prior to the close of the merger.
(d) Reflects an increase in cash and long-term debt related to the assumption that the existing $5.25 billion senior unsecured bridge facility will be unused and replaced by issuance of an equal amount of new senior unsecured notes used to finance the Cash Consideration, less $52 million of associated debt issuance costs from the new senior unsecured notes.
(e) Reflects the estimated accrual of non-recurring transaction costs of $112 million ($86 million, net of tax) related to the merger, including fees paid for financial advisory, legal and other professional services, which have not yet been incurred. The accrual is reflected in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet as an increase to other current liabilities and a decrease to retained earnings as well as deferred income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, ONEOK’s historical statement of income includes $9 million of non-recurring transaction costs.
(f) Reflects the increase in shares of ONEOK common stock and additional paid-in capital resulting from the issuance of ONEOK common stock to Magellan unitholders to effect the merger as well as the increase resulting from the estimated fair value of Magellan’s equity awards attributable to employee pre-combination service. See Note B for discussion of assumptions.
(g) Reflects the elimination of Magellan’s historical equity balances in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting.
(h) Reflects the remaining amortization of non-recurring fees of $12 million ($9 million, net of tax) associated with a 364-day fully committed bridge facility. The $12 million is reflected ONEOK’s historical balance sheet as of June 30, 2023, with $9 million amortized into interest expense within historical results. Remaining amortization is reflected in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, as a decrease to other current assets, a decrease to retained earnings and deferred income taxes, and an increase in interest expense in the Pro Forma Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022, as fully amortized debt issuance costs.
(i) Reflects the elimination of historical transactions between ONEOK and Magellan that would be treated as intercompany transactions after the merger.
12
(j) Reflects the increase to depreciation expense of $39 million and $73 million in the Pro Forma Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, resulting from the increase in the basis of Magellan’s property, plant and equipment. ONEOK utilized a preliminary estimated useful life of 38 years and the straight line method to amortize the increase in basis. The estimated useful life is based on ONEOK’s preliminary expectation of the assets’ useful lives, which was informed by Magellan’s publicly available information.
(k) Reflects a non-recurring post-combination expense of $33 million ($25 million, net of tax) consisting of cash severance benefits estimated to result from the post-merger alignment of ONEOK and Magellan. Such benefits are required upon both a change in control and a change in employment status, as defined by Magellan’s severance plans. The amount is accrued in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet as an increase to other current liabilities, a decrease to retained earnings and deferred income taxes, and is reflected in operations and maintenance in the Pro Forma Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(l) Reflects the adjustment for additional compensation expense resulting from the conversion of Magellan’s equity awards to ONEOK equity awards at the closing date. These awards will vest in shares of ONEOK Common Stock subsequent to the merger. The Pro Forma Statements of Income for six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, include adjustments for $3 million and $7 million of additional expense, respectively. The adjustment is attributable to ONEOK’s preliminary estimate of the difference between Magellan’s historical share-based compensation expense included in Magellan’s historical results and the estimated share-based compensation expense related to the fair value of the replacement awards issued as part of the merger. The estimated excess in fair value of the replacement share-based awards is recognized ratably over post-combination service periods presented, utilizing the term of Magellan’s vesting period. ONEOK estimated the preliminary fair value of the awards primarily utilizing a combination of publicly available information and due diligence information available to ONEOK. The preparation of a valuation study to determine the appropriate fair value of share-based awards has not yet been completed and any resulting change in the fair value would have a direct impact to this expense.
(m) Reflects a non-recurring expense of $84 million ($65 million, net of tax) attributable to ONEOK’s preliminary estimate of accelerated vesting in the replacement awards, triggered by both the change in control and terminations resulting from the post-merger alignment of ONEOK and Magellan. These accelerated awards are payable in cash. This amount is included within operations and maintenance in the Pro Forma Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022, and as an increase to other current liabilities and a decrease to retained earnings and deferred income taxes in the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. ONEOK estimated the preliminary fair value of the awards primarily utilizing a combination of publicly available information and due diligence information available to ONEOK. The preparation of a valuation study to determine the appropriate fair value of share-based awards has not yet been completed and any resulting change in the fair value would have a direct impact to this expense.
(n) Reflects a net increase to interest expense of $11 million and $21 million in the Pro Forma Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, primarily related to the amortization of the discount resulting from the fair value remeasurement of Magellan’s debt.
(o) Reflects the tax effect of Magellan’s historical pre-tax income at ONEOK’s blended federal and state statutory rate of 23%.
13
(p) Reflects an increase to interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, of $163 million and $326 million in the Pro Forma Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, associated with the anticipated issuance of new senior fixed-rate notes used to fund the cash portion of consideration. The increased interest expense relates to the anticipated issuance of new senior unsecured notes and assumes issuance occurred on January 1, 2022. Interest expense is estimated using an assumed weighted average interest rate of 6.14%, which is based on current indicative new issue credit spreads to applicable U.S. Treasury yields.
(q) Reflects adjustment related to the amortization of equity method basis differences for Magellan’s investments in unconsolidated affiliates. ONEOK has preliminarily assessed that basis differences are attributable to property, plant and equipment and contract-based customer relationship intangible assets and utilized a preliminary useful life of 38 years to amortize the basis differences.
(r) Reflects the tax effect of the Transaction Accounting Adjustments and Other Transaction Accounting Adjustments at the blended federal and state statutory rate of 23%.
(s) Reflects the increase in amortization expense of $13 million and $25 million in the Pro Forma Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, resulting from the recognized intangible assets acquired. ONEOK utilized the straight line method of amortization for purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Statements and an estimated useful life of 38 years. Assuming the fair value of the recognized intangible assets is held constant, utilizing an estimate useful life of 30 years would increase amortization expense by $4 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. An estimated useful life of 20 years would increase amortization expense by $13 million and $26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
