EQT CORPORATION

49,599,796 Shares of Common Stock

This prospectus relates to the offering and resale by the selling shareholders identified herein (the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 49,599,796 shares (the “offered shares”) of common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), of EQT Corporation (“EQT”), from time to time in amounts, at prices and on terms that will be determined at the time of the applicable offering. EQT is not selling any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus, and EQT will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the offered shares.

The Selling Shareholders may offer and sell the offered shares to or through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents, or directly to purchasers, on a continuous or delayed basis. The price at which the Selling Shareholders may sell the offered shares will be determined by the prevailing market for the offered shares or in negotiated transactions that may be at prices other than prevailing market prices. See “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the offered shares.

The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trades under the symbol “EQT.” On August 21, 2023, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock was $44.57 per share.

Investing in the Common Stock involves risks. You should carefully read and consider the risk factors included in EQT’s periodic reports and other information that EQT files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) before you invest in EQT’s securities. See “Risk Factors” on page 3.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is August 22, 2023.

iii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

warranties by the Company, which should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate. The representations and warranties were made only as of the date of the relevant agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in such agreement and are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, these representations and warranties alone may not describe the actual state of affairs as of the date they were made or at any other time.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the information included in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking and are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “may,” “forecast,” “approximate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words of similar meaning, or the negative thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, or contained in any accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference therein, include or may include the expectations of our plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance, including guidance regarding our strategy to develop our reserves; drilling plans and programs, including availability of capital to complete these plans and programs; total resource potential and drilling inventory duration; projected production and sales volume and growth rates; natural gas prices; changes in basis and the impact of commodity prices on our business; potential future impairments of our assets; projected well costs and capital expenditures; infrastructure programs; the cost, capacity and timing of obtaining regulatory approvals; our ability to successfully implement and execute our operational, organizational, technological and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives, and achieve the anticipated results of such initiatives; projected gathering and compression rates; potential or pending acquisitions or other strategic transactions and the timing thereof; our ability to achieve the intended operational, financial and strategic benefits from any recently consummated, pending or potential acquisition or other strategic transaction, including the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition (as defined herein); the amount and timing of any repayments, redemptions or repurchases of Common Stock or EQT’s outstanding debt securities or other debt instruments; our ability to retire our debt and the timing of such retirements, if any; the projected amount and timing of dividends; projected cash flows and free cash flow and the timing thereof; liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; our ability to maintain or improve our credit ratings, leverage levels and financial profile; our hedging strategy and projected margin posting obligations; the effects of litigation, government regulation and tax position; and the expected impact of changes to tax laws.

The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, or contained in any accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference therein, involve or may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by us. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatility of commodity prices; the costs and results of drilling and operations; uncertainties about estimates of reserves, identification of drilling locations and the ability to add proved reserves in the future; the assumptions underlying production forecasts; the quality of technical data; our ability to appropriately allocate capital and other resources among our strategic opportunities; access to and cost of capital, including as a result of rising interest rates and other economic uncertainties; our hedging and other financial contracts; inherent hazards and risks normally incidental to drilling for, producing, transporting and storing natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and oil; cyber security risks and acts of sabotage; availability and cost of drilling rigs, completion services, equipment, supplies, personnel, oilfield

services and sand and water required to execute our exploration and development plans, including as a result of inflationary pressures; risks associated with operating primarily in the Appalachian Basin and obtaining a substantial amount of our midstream services from Equitrans Midstream Corporation; the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof; government regulations or actions, including regulations pertaining to methane and other greenhouse gas emissions; negative public perception of the fossil fuels industry; increased consumer demand for alternatives to natural gas; environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change; and disruptions to our business due to acquisitions and other significant transactions, including the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. These and other risks and uncertainties are described under Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in EQT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in other documents EQT subsequently files from time to time with the SEC. In addition, we may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially adverse impact on us.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and except as required by law, EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

SUMMARY

Our Company

We are a natural gas production company with operations focused in the Marcellus and Utica Shales of the Appalachian Basin. Based on average daily sales volume, we are the largest producer of natural gas in the United States. As of December 31, 2022, we had 25.0 trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalents of proved natural gas, NGLs and crude oil reserves across approximately 2.0 million gross acres, including approximately 1.8 million gross acres in the Marcellus play.

We are committed to responsibly developing our world-class asset base and being the operator of choice for all stakeholders. By promoting a culture that prioritizes operational efficiency, technology and sustainability, we seek to continuously improve the way we produce environmentally responsible, reliable low-cost energy. We measure sustainability through our best-in-class team and culture, ESG-focused operations, substantial inventory of core drilling locations and strong balance sheet. We believe that the scale and contiguity of our acreage position differentiates us from our Appalachian Basin peers and that our evolution into a modern, digitally-enabled exploration and production business enhances our strategic advantage.

Our operational strategy focuses on the successful execution of combo-development projects. Combo-development refers to the development of several multi-well pads in tandem. Combo-development generates value across all levels of the reserves development process by maximizing operational and capital efficiencies. In the drilling stage, rigs spend more time drilling and less time transitioning to new sites. Advanced planning, a prerequisite to pursuing combo-development, facilitates the delivery of bulk hydraulic fracturing sand and piped fresh and recycled water (as opposed to truck-transported water), and provides the ability to continuously meet completions supply needs and the use of environmentally friendly technologies. Operational efficiencies realized from combo-development are passed on to our service providers, which reduces overall contract rates.

The benefits of combo-development extend beyond financial gains to include environmental and social interests. We have developed an integrated ESG program that interplays with our combo-development-driven operational strategy. Core tenets of our ESG program include investing in technology and human capital; improving data collection, analysis and reporting; and engaging with stakeholders to understand, and align our actions with, their needs and expectations. Combo-development, when compared to similar production from non-combo-development operations, translates into fewer trucks on the road, decreased fuel usage, shorter periods of noise pollution, fewer areas impacted by midstream pipeline construction and shortened duration of site operations, all of which fosters a greater focus on safety, environmental protection and social responsibility.

We believe that combo-development projects are key to delivering sustainably low well costs and higher returns on invested capital. Our business model has been developed to enable us to generate sustainable free cash flow and correspondingly, we have implemented a robust capital allocation strategy directed at responsibly developing our assets while also returning capital to our shareholders through a combination of dividends, strategic share repurchases, and debt retirements. We are also focused on maintaining investment grade credit metrics, which allows us to capture a lower cost of capital and further enhance shareholder returns.

We believe that our proprietary digital work environment, in conjunction with the size and contiguity of our asset base, uniquely position us to execute on a multi-year inventory of combo-development projects in our core acreage position. Our operational strategy employs this differentiation to advance our mission of being the operator of choice for all stakeholders, while simultaneously helping to address energy security and affordability both domestically and globally.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Common Stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in EQT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as those risk factors contained in any document that EQT files with the SEC after the date of this prospectus that is incorporated by reference herein or that may be included in any applicable prospectus supplement, before making a decision to invest in the Common Stock. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Such risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial could cause the market or trading price of the Common Stock to decline, or may otherwise materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition, and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the offered shares by the Selling Shareholders. All shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the Selling Shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

References to the “Selling Shareholders” in this prospectus mean the individuals and the entities listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the offered shares as a result of a transfer not involving a public sale.

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the Selling Shareholders of up to 49,599,796 shares of Common Stock, which were issued by EQT to the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers as partial consideration for the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. On August 22, 2023, pursuant to the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement, we acquired the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Assets through our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of Tug Hill Midco and XcL Midco in exchange for approximately $2.4 billion in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments following the closing, and 49,599,796 shares of Common Stock.

Upon consummation of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement, EQT, the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers and certain affiliates and transferees thereof who received the Stock Consideration from the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers (together with their permitted assignees, the “Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holders”) entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, subject to certain requirements and exceptions, EQT is required to file with the SEC, no later than three business days following the closing of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, a registration statement on Form S-3 to permit the public resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holders from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective until all of the Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities or the earlier termination of the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to its terms. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to satisfy such obligation under the Registration Rights Agreement. Furthermore, under the Registration Rights Agreement, certain of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holders have certain underwritten offering demand rights and piggyback rights with respect to certain underwritten offerings conducted by EQT for its own account or for the account of other shareholders of EQT. The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification and contribution obligations of EQT for the benefit of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holders and vice versa (provided, however, that the indemnification and contribution obligation of each Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holder is limited to the net proceeds received by such Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to an offering made in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement), in each case, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the Selling Shareholders, the number of shares of Common Stock that each Selling Shareholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Selling Shareholder before and after the offering. Solely for purposes of the table below, we have assumed that the Selling Shareholders will sell all of the offered shares and will make no other purchases or sales of Common Stock.

The Selling Shareholders, subject to any then-applicable limitation imposed by judgment, order, writ or decree of any government or government instrumentality having jurisdiction over such Selling Shareholder, may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the offered shares or interests therein:

•

on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or U.S. inter-dealer system of a registered national securities association on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

•

an over-the-counter sale or distribution;

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•

one or more underwritten offerings;

•

block trades in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses in which the same broker acts as agent on both sides;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

an exchange distribution and/or secondary distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•

privately negotiated transactions;

•

short sales, whether through a broker-dealer or themselves;

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•

through the distributions of the shares by any Selling Shareholder to its partners, members, employees or directors;

•

in option transactions; and

•

in any combination of the above or by any other legally available means available to and requested by the Selling Shareholders.

A Selling Shareholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some of the shares of Common Stock owned by it and, if the Selling Shareholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Shareholders to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. In connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock or interests therein, a Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which

TABLE OF CONTENTS

may in turn engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. A Selling Shareholder may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. A Selling Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or one or more derivative securities that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the offered shares, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). A Selling Shareholder also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders also may resell a portion of the offered shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of shares of Common Stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares of Common Stock may constitute underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with EQT and the Selling Shareholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of Common Stock to be sold, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters and any applicable discounts, commissions, concessions or other compensation with respect to a particular offering will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

To facilitate the offering of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Common Stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option(s), if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the Common Stock by bidding for or purchasing shares of Common Stock in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

(1)

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, EQT will pay the Registration Expenses, which are generally the fees and expenses associated with the registration and sale of the offered shares by the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream RRA Holders, except underwriting fees, discounts or commissions, any out-of-pocket expenses (other than fees and expenses incurred in connection with complying with state securities or blue sky laws) of the Selling Shareholders or the fees and disbursements of any underwriter.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

EQT is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Under Sections 1741 and 1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (“PBCL”), a business corporation has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or representative of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of a threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification only covers expenses and excludes judgments and amounts paid in settlement with respect to such action or proceeding, and no indemnification can be made for expenses if such person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, a court determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court deems proper.

In addition, PBCL Section 1744 provides that, unless ordered by a court, any indemnification referred to above shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made:

(1)

by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action or proceeding;

(2)

if such a quorum is not obtainable, or if obtainable and a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

II-1

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(3)

by the shareholders.

Notwithstanding the above, PBCL Section 1743 provides that to the extent that a director, officer or representative of a business corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Further, PBCL Section 1745 provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer, director or representative of a business corporation in defending any such action or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer, director or representative to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

Also, PBCL Section 1746 provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the foregoing provisions are not exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and that indemnification may be granted under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise for any action taken or any failure to take any action and may be made whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person under any other provision of law and whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation; provided, however, that no indemnification may be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Article IV of EQT’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provides that directors and officers of EQT shall be indemnified as of right to the fullest extent not prohibited by law in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise) arising out of their service to EQT or to another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of EQT; provided, however, that EQT will not indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such director or officer (other than a proceeding to enforce such person’s rights to indemnification under Article IV of the Bylaws) unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by EQT’s board of directors.

PBCL Section 1747 permits a business corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or representative of another corporation or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions described above.

Article IV of the Bylaws provides that EQT may purchase and maintain insurance to protect EQT and its directors, officers, agents or employees against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in respect of the service of such person, whether or not EQT would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability by law or under the provisions of Article IV of the Bylaws.

EQT maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering its directors and officers with respect to liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, which they may incur in connection with their serving as such. Under this insurance, EQT may receive reimbursement for amounts as to which the directors and officers are indemnified by EQT under the indemnification provisions of the Bylaws described above. Such insurance also provides certain additional coverage for the directors and officers against certain liabilities even though such liabilities may not be covered by the indemnification provisions of the Bylaws.

As permitted by PBCL Section 1713, EQT’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), and the Bylaws provide that no director shall be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken, or failure to take any action, unless the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office under Subchapter B, ”Fiduciary Duty” of Chapter 17 of the PBCL and such

II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

director’s breach of duty or failure to perform constituted self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The PBCL states that this exculpation from liability does not apply to the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to any criminal statute or the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to federal, state or local law. It is uncertain whether this provision will control with respect to liabilities imposed upon directors by federal law, including federal securities laws. PBCL Section 1715(d) creates a presumption, subject to exceptions, that a director acted in the best interests of the corporation. PBCL Section 1712, in defining the standard of care a director owes to the corporation, provides that a director stands in a fiduciary relation to the corporation and must perform his duties as a director or as a member of any committee of the board of directors in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances.

EQT also has indemnification agreements with all of its executive officers and directors (collectively, the “Indemnitees”). These agreements provide that the Indemnitees will be protected as promised in the Bylaws (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Bylaws or any change in the composition of EQT’s board of directors or an acquisition transaction relating to EQT) and advanced expenses to the fullest extent of the law and as set forth in the indemnification agreements. These agreements also provide, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of the Indemnitees under EQT’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies. The indemnification agreements, among other things and subject to certain limitations, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all reasonable expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, and any and all liability and loss, including judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, incurred or paid by the Indemnitees in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether or not by or in the right of EQT or otherwise, in which the Indemnitees are, were, or at any time become parties, or are threatened to be made parties or are involved by reason of the fact that the Indemnitees are or were directors or officers of EQT or are or were serving at EQT’s request as directors, officers, employees, trustees or representatives of another corporation or enterprise.

The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of the PBCL, the Articles and the Bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete.

Item 16. Exhibits.

A list of exhibits filed herewith is contained in the Exhibit Index that immediately precedes the signature page to this registration statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

II-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i)

Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)

Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

II-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
