A prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC to provide updated information or details about securities being offered to the public. In this case, it details the resale of shares by specific securityholders. It's important because it signals to investors that these shares may become available for trading, potentially increasing supply.

The filing does not specify the exact identity of the 'selling securityholders.' They are individuals or entities who already own shares of Williams Companies' common stock and are now seeking to sell them into the public market under the registered offering.
