Introduction
This Amendment No. 14 amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission) on October 23, 1987 (as amended, the Schedule
13D) by The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams) and certain other entities. This
Schedule 13D relates to the ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share (the Shares) of
Apco Oil and Gas International Inc. (formerly known as Apco Argentina Inc.), a Cayman Islands
company (the Issuer). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in
the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged.
|
|
|
Item 2. |
|
Identity and Background. |
The information previously provided in response to Item 2 is hereby amended and restated by
replacing the text thereof in its entirety with the following:
(a) This Schedule 13D is filed by (i) Williams, a Delaware corporation, and (ii) Williams
Global Energy (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands company (Global Energy, and, together
with Williams, the Reporting Persons).
Global Energy is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Williams. Accordingly, the Reporting
Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.
(b) The principal address of Williams is One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74172-0172.
The principal address of Global Energy is Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Cayman
Islands, KY1-1104.
(c) The principal business of Williams is to find, produce, gather, process and transport
natural gas. The principal business of Global Energy is to hold Shares of the Issuer and other
entities.
(d) (e) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons has (i) been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor (ii) been a
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a
result of which was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) Not applicable.
In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information

Item 4. |
|
Purpose of Transaction. |
The information previously provided in response to Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented
by adding the following at the end thereof:
On February 16, 2011, Williams announced its intention to pursue a plan to separate Williams
businesses into two stand-alone, publicly traded corporations. Williams currently plans to
contribute the ownership of its natural gas exploration and production assets, including all Shares
of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by Williams, to a new diversified exploration and
production company (New E&P). Williams would then separate New E&P via an initial public
offering of up to 20 percent of its interest in New E&P, followed by a tax-free spinoff to Williams
shareholders of its remaining interest.
The separation plan will be subject to customary regulatory approvals, the receipt of a tax
opinion from counsel and/or Internal Revenue Service rulings, the execution of intercompany
agreements, finalization of the capital structure of the two corporations, final approval of the
Williams board and other customary matters. There can be no assurance as to the timing of the
separation plan or that the transaction terms announced by Williams will result in any changes to
Williams current structure or to the ownership of the Shares that are currently owned by Williams.
|
|
|
Item 5. |
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
The information previously provided in response to Item 5 is hereby amended and restated by
replacing the text thereof in its entirety with the following:
(a) (1) Global Energy is the record owner of 20,301,592 Shares, which based on calculations
made in accordance with Rule 13d-3, represents 69.0% of the outstanding Shares.
(2) Williams, as indirect 100% owner of Global Energy, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3, be deemed
to beneficially own 20,301,592 Shares, which based on calculations made in accordance with Rule
13d-3, represents 69.0% of the outstanding Shares.
(3) See Schedule 1 for the aggregate number and percentage of Shares beneficially owned by
the Listed Persons.
(b) The information set forth in Items 7 through 11 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated
herein by reference. See Schedule 1 for the information applicable to the Listed Persons.

receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
Shares reported on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5. See Schedule 1 for the
information applicable to the Listed Persons. Except for the foregoing, no other person is known
by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons or, to the Reporting Persons knowledge, the Listed Persons.
