Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 30, 2011, Apco Oil and Gas International Inc. (the Company) issued 20,301,592 of the
Companys Class A Shares, par value $.01 per share (the Class A Shares) to Williams Global Energy
(Cayman) Limited (Williams Global Energy) in exchange for an equal number of the Companys
ordinary shares (the Ordinary Shares). No other consideration was paid in connection with the
exchange. This exchange occurred as part of the recapitalization of the Company as outlined in the
Companys Definitive Proxy Statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on June 1, 2011. The Class A Shares will automatically convert into the Companys Ordinary Shares
in the event that neither The Williams Companies, Inc., the indirect owner of 100 percent of
Williams Global Energy, nor WPX Energy, Inc., another wholly-owned subsidiary of The Williams
Companies, Inc., beneficially owns, separately or in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, at
least 50 percent of the aggregate outstanding Class A Shares and Ordinary Shares of the Company.
The issuance of the Class A Shares in this transaction was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the
Securities Act, which exempts exchanges of securities by an issuer exclusively with its existing
security holders in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given
directly or indirectly for solicitation of the exchange.
