Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On May 17, 2010, Willbros Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Co Merger Sub I, Inc., a Washington corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Ho Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and InfrastruX Group, Inc., a Washington corporation (“InfrastruX”), entered into an Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”), amending the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March, 11, 2010, by and among such parties, to extend the closing date and dates respecting certain termination rights by approximately one month.
     A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 as though fully set forth herein.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On March 11, 2010, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire InfrastruX, a leading national provider of electric power and natural gas transmission and distribution infrastructure services.
     All references in this Item 7.01 and in the exhibits included with this Item 7.01 to “Willbros”, “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Willbros Group, Inc., its consolidated subsidiaries and their predecessors, except where references are on a pro forma basis after giving effect to our acquisition of InfrastruX Group, Inc.
     In connection with the Company’s pending acquisition of InfrastruX and the Company’s previous announcement of the offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien notes due 2016, the Company is providing in exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K updated disclosure relating to the description of the Company’s business on a stand-alone and pro forma basis and updated risk factors. The updated risk factors should be read in conjunction with the risk factors previously set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, under the caption “RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK,” and the risk factor previously set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, entitled “The Company’s pending acquisition of InfrastruX is subject to various risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and market price for its common stock.”
     Also included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K are audited historical consolidated financial statements of InfrastruX for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and unaudited historical consolidated financial statements of InfrastruX for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
