Mr. Frederickson retired in January 2008 from ConocoPhillips, an energy company located in Houston, Texas, where he served as Executive Vice President, Planning, Strategy and Corporate Affairs. Mr. Frederickson joined Conoco Inc. (“Conoco”) in 1978 and held various positions in the United States and Europe, with diverse responsibilities including refining and marketing and midstream operations, upstream strategy and portfolio management, business development, and mergers and acquisitions. Following the announcement of the merger of Conoco and Phillips Petroleum Company in 2001, Mr. Frederickson was named integration lead to coordinate the merger transition and in 2002 was named Executive Vice President, Commercial, of ConocoPhillips. Mr. Frederickson currently serves as a board member of Williams Partners L.P., formerly Access Midstream Partners L.P., a natural gas pipeline company, and is a member of its Audit and Conflicts Committees.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Frederickson and any other person pursuant to which he was elected as a director of the Company.
