What was the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing was to publicly disclose the completion of ONEOK Inc.'s two-for-one stock split, as required by regulations, ensuring all investors have access to this material information.

How does a two-for-one stock split affect my investment?

A two-for-one stock split effectively doubles the number of shares you own, while the price per share is halved. The total market value of your investment should remain the same immediately after the split, assuming no other market factors influence the stock price.

Will I receive physical stock certificates for the new shares?

Typically, stock splits are handled electronically through brokerage accounts. Shareholders usually see the increased number of shares reflected in their accounts automatically, and physical certificates are generally no longer issued for these types of adjustments.
