Dow Jones
05 Nov 2024
   -- advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency 
      or that improve electricity's competitive position relative to natural 
      gas; 
 
   -- population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the 
      markets we serve in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, and economic conditions 
      in these areas; 
 
   -- acts of nature and naturally occurring disasters; 
 
   -- political unrest and the potential effects of threatened or actual 
      terrorism and war; 
 
   -- the sufficiency of insurance coverage to cover losses; 
 
   -- the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments; 
 
   -- changes in accounting standards; 
 
   -- changes in corporate governance standards; 
 
   -- existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls; 
 
   -- our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and the ONE 
      Gas Credit Agreement, a violation of which, if not cured in a timely 
      manner, could trigger a default of our obligations; 
 
   -- our ability to attract and retain talented employees, management and 
      directors, and shortage of skilled-labor; 
 
   -- unexpected increases in the costs of providing health care benefits, 
      along with pension and postemployment health care benefits, as well as 
      declines in the discount rates on, declines in the market value of the 
      debt and equity securities of, and increases in funding requirements for, 
      our defined benefit plans; and 
 
   -- our ability to successfully complete merger, acquisition or divestiture 
      plans, regulatory or other limitations imposed as a result of a merger, 
      acquisition or divestiture, and the success of the business following a 
      merger, acquisition or divestiture. 

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results. These and other risks are described in greater detail in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Other than as required under securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or change in circumstances, expectations or otherwise.
