EQT ANNOUNCES EARLY RESULTS OF ITS DEBT TENDER OFFER

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) (the Company or EQT) today announced the early results of its previously announced tender offer (the Tender Offer) to purchase for cash up to $250.0 million aggregate principal amount (the Maximum Tender Amount) of its outstanding 3.000% Senior Notes due 2022 (the Notes). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase dated December 29, 2021 (the Offer to Purchase) and remain unchanged.

The aggregate principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 12, 2022 (the Early Tender Date) and the aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Company expects to accept for purchase on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below), as well as certain other terms of the Tender Offer, are set forth in the table below. Withdrawal rights for the Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 12, 2022. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn.

Payment for Notes accepted for purchase is expected to be made on January 14, 2022 (the Early Settlement Date). The Company's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer, (ii) extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer, (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount, or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.

The Company will continue to accept Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date up to the Maximum Tender Amount. The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 27, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such date and time, as it may be extended, the Expiration Date). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date will receive $962.50 per $1,000 principal amount of any such Notes tendered by such holders that are accepted for purchase, which is equal to the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium. Payments for Notes purchased will also include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for the Notes that are tendered following the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date is expected to be January 31, 2022, the second business day after the Expiration Date (the Final Settlement Date). Tendered Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered would cause the Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded.
