Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously announced, on March 10, 2024, EQT Corporation (“EQT”), Humpty Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (“Merger Sub”), and Humpty Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (“LLC Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Equitrans Midstream Corporation (“Equitrans”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Equitrans (the “First Merger”), with Equitrans surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (the “First Step Surviving Corporation”), and as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the First Step Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into LLC Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with LLC Sub surviving the Second Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT.

In connection with the Merger, EQT filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that also includes a prospectus of EQT and a joint proxy statement of EQT and Equitrans for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meetings of EQT’s shareholders (the “EQT Special Meeting”) and Equitrans’ shareholders to vote upon, among other things, matters necessary to complete the Merger. The Registration Statement was declared effective on June 4, 2024, after which EQT filed a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and Equitrans filed a definitive proxy statement. EQT and Equitrans commenced mailing of the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) to their respective shareholders on or about June 5, 2024.

In connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, three complaints have been filed by purported Equitrans shareholders against Equitrans, EQT and/or members of Equitrans’ board of directors in New York and Pennsylvania state courts. The three complaints (collectively, the “Shareholder Actions”) are captioned as follows: Zalvin v. Equitrans Midstream Corporation, et al., No. 2024-3837 (Pa. C.P. June 20, 2024), Fleming v. Equitrans Midstream Corporation, et al., No. 653358/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. July 2, 2024) and Morgan v. Equitrans Midstream Corporation, et al., No. 653362/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. July 2, 2024). In general, the Shareholder Actions allege that the defendants violated state securities laws, or were negligent in mispresenting or omitting material facts under New York common law or Pennsylvania common law, as applicable, because the Proxy Statement/Prospectus allegedly omits or misstates material information. The Shareholder Actions seek, among other things, injunctive relief preventing the consummation of the Merger, unspecified damages and attorneys’ fees.

In addition to these lawsuits, a number of purported shareholders of Equitrans and EQT have sent demand letters alleging similar deficiencies regarding the disclosures made in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

EQT believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply fully with applicable law and exchange rules, that no further disclosure beyond that already contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is required under applicable law or exchange rules, and that the allegations asserted in the complaints and demand letters are entirely without merit. However, in order to moot these disclosure claims, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Merger, and without admitting any culpability, liability or wrongdoing and without admitting the relevance or materiality of such disclosures, EQT is voluntarily supplementing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the supplemental disclosures set forth below under “Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus Related to Shareholder Actions” (the “Shareholder Actions Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Shareholder Actions Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth therein. To the contrary, EQT specifically denies all allegations in the demand letters and the complaints that any additional disclosure was or is required.

The board of directors of EQT unanimously recommends that EQT shareholders vote “FOR” all three of the EQT proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which are: (i) a proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock, no par value, of EQT (“EQT common stock”) to the holders of common stock, no par value, of Equitrans pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Share Issuance Proposal”); (ii) a proposal to approve an amendment to the Restated Articles of Incorporation of EQT to increase the authorized number of shares of EQT common stock from 640,000,000 shares to 1,280,000,000 shares (the “Articles Amendment Proposal”); and (iii) a proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the EQT Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit solicitation of additional votes or proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Share Issuance Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposal (the “EQT Adjournment Proposal”).

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS RELATED TO SHAREHOLDER ACTIONS

The additional disclosures set forth below supplement and modify the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information set forth in the supplemental disclosures below differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information set forth in the supplemental disclosures below shall supersede or supplement the information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Page references in the below disclosures are to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For clarity, new text within restated disclosures from the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is highlighted with bold, underlined text, while deleted text is bold and stricken-through.

The fourth paragraph after the sub-heading “Selected Precedent Transaction Analysis” on Page 110 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such paragraph as follows:

Barclays then calculated a consolidated implied equity value range of Equitrans by adding the low ends and high ends of the value ranges of the Transmission, Gathering, and Water segments, the Mountain Valley Pipeline, Other, and Henry Hub Upside described above to arrive at a consolidated asset value. Barclays valued Mountain Valley Pipeline based on 100% of Mountain Valley Pipeline’s 2025 “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is EBITDA adjusted for certain nonrecurring and non-cash items, and then adjusted for Mountain Valley Pipeline’s remaining 2024 capital expenditures; Equitrans’ attributed value then was allocated to Equitrans based on its ownership interest in Mountain Valley Pipeline. Barclays then subtracted from the result Equitrans management’s estimate of consolidated net debt and preferred equity, each as of March 31, 2024, and together totaling approximately $8.3 billion. Barclays then divided the resulting consolidated equity value range by the number of approximately 444.8 million fully diluted shares of Equitrans common stock outstanding, as provided by Equitrans management, to derive a range of implied prices per share of Equitrans common stock of $7.50 to $11.00.

The sixth paragraph after the sub-heading “Selected Precedent Transaction Analysis” on Page 110 is hereby revised by amending and restating such paragraph as follows:

As part of its selected precedent transactions analysis, for each of the selected transactions for which public information was available, Barclays calculated and analyzed the EV/EBITDA FY + 1. The results of the selected precedent transactions analysis are summarized below:

The second paragraph after the sub-heading “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on Page 111 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such paragraph as follows:

To calculate the estimated enterprise value range of Equitrans using the discounted cash flow method, Barclays added (i) projected after-tax unlevered free cash flows for 2Q 2024 through calendar year 2028 based on the Equitrans Projections to (ii) the “terminal value” of Equitrans, as of December 31, 2028, and discounted such amount to its present value using a range of selected after-tax discount rates. Specifically, Barclays used an after-tax discount rate range of 9.0% to 11.0%. The after-tax discount rates were based on Barclays’ analysis of the weighted average cost of capital for Equitrans as well as the weighted average cost of capital for the Equitrans selected comparable companies. The after-tax unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the earnings before interest, preferred cash dividend, tax expense, depreciation and amortization and adjusting for non-controlling interest, cash taxes, distributions from the Mountain Valley Pipeline, deferred revenue, changes in net working capital, and capital expenditures. The residual value of Equitrans at the end of the forecast period, or “terminal value,” was estimated by selecting a range of terminal value multiples based on EBITDA for the period ending December 31, 2028, of 8.00x to 9.00x, which was derived by Barclays utilizing its professional judgment and experience and by analyzing the results from the selected comparable company analysis and precedent transaction analysis and applying such range to Equitrans’ 2028 Economic Adjusted EBITDA, which was further adjusted to (x) deduct the Mountain Valley Pipeline’s Adjusted EBITDA excluding the proportionate effects of any non-controlling/minority interests and (y) add distributions received from the Mountain Valley Pipeline, as set out in the Equitrans Projections. Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of Equitrans common stock by subtracting an Equitrans management provided estimate of net debt and preferred equity, each as of March 31, 2024, and together totaling approximately $8.3 billion, from the estimated enterprise value using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the approximately 444.8 million fully diluted number of shares of Equitrans common stock outstanding, as provided by Equitrans management. This analysis implied a range of prices per share of Equitrans common stock of $9.75 to $13.50.

The third paragraph after the sub-heading “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” on Page 112 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such paragraph as follows:

To calculate the estimated enterprise value of EQT using the discounted cash flow method, Barclays added (i) projected after-tax unlevered free cash flows for 2Q 2024 through calendar year 2028 based on the EQT Projections to (ii) the “terminal value” of EQT, as of December 31, 2028, and discounted such amount to its present value using a range of selected after-tax discount rates. Specifically, Barclays used an after-tax discount rate range of 8.0% to 9.0%. The after-tax discount rates were based on Barclays’ analysis of the weighted average cost of capital for EQT as well as the weighted average cost of capital for the EQT selected comparable companies. The after-tax unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the earnings before interest, tax expense, depreciation and amortization and subtracting cash taxes, other income (expense), capital expenditures and adjusting for changes in working capital. The terminal value was estimated by selecting a range of terminal value multiples based on EBITDA for the period ending December 31, 2028, of 4.00x to 5.00x, which was derived by Barclays utilizing its professional judgment and experience and by analyzing the results from the selected comparable company analysis and precedent transaction analysis and applying such range to EQT’s 2028 estimated EBITDA, as set out in the EQT Projections. Barclays then calculated a range of implied prices per share of EQT common stock by subtracting an EQT management estimate of net debt and preferred equity, each as of March 31, 2024, and together totaling approximately $5.0 billion, from the estimated enterprise value using the discounted cash flow method and dividing such amount by the approximately 446.8 million fully diluted number of shares of EQT common stock, as provided by EQT management. This analysis implied a range of prices per share of EQT common stock of $35.00 to $44.25.

The third sentence of the third paragraph after the sub-heading “Net Asset Valuation Analysis” on Page 112 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such sentence as follows:

Specifically, Barclays, utilizing its professional judgment and experience, used a discount rate range of 8.0% to 9.0%.

The second sentence of the first paragraph after the sub-heading “Leveraged Acquisition Analysis” on Page 113 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such sentence as follows:

Based upon its professional judgment and experience and taking into account then-current market conditions, Barclays assumed the following in its analysis: (i) the existing capital structure, as of the date of Barclays’ opinion, (ii) an equity investment that would achieve an internal rate of return of 17.50% to 22.50% on equity invested during a 4.75-year period, and (iii) a projected EBITDA terminal value multiple of 8.00x to 9.00x for such period. Based upon these assumptions, Barclays calculated a range of implied prices per share of Equitrans common stock of $8.00 to $10.50.

The second sentence of the first paragraph after the sub-heading “Equity Research Price Target Analysis” on Page 113 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such sentence as follows:

The range of price targets for Equitrans common stock was $10.00 to $15.00 per share as of March 8, 2024, with a median price target of $11.50 and a mean price target of $11.87, and the range of price targets for EQT common stock was $28.39 to $55.00 per share as of March 8, 2024, with a median price target of $45.00 and a mean price target of $43.22.

The second paragraph after the sub-heading “General” on Page 113 is hereby supplemented by adding the following as a new last sentence:

In addition, the Equitrans Board has been made aware that EQT is currently contemplating an increase in the size of its existing credit facility and, on July 11, 2024, Equitrans consented to Barclays’ potential participation as a lender in such potential increase (pursuant to which Barclays would expect to receive additional fees from EQT if Barclays participates).

The second sentence of the eleventh paragraph after the sub-heading “Opinion of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Financial Advisor to Equitrans” on Page 117 is hereby supplemented by amending and restating such sentence as follows:

No company, business or transaction reviewed is identical or directly comparable to Equitrans, EQT or the Merger nor, except as otherwise disclosed, were individual multiples derived from the selected public companies or selected precedent transactions independently determinative of the results of such analyses, and an evaluation of these analyses is not entirely mathematical; rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading, acquisition or other values of the companies, businesses or transactions reviewed or the results of any particular analysis.

OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

The additional disclosures set forth below supplement and modify the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including the sections titled “Questions and Answers” and “EQT Special Meeting — Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes,” and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information set forth in the supplemental disclosures below differs from information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the information set forth in the supplemental disclosures below shall supersede the information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has informed EQT that it deems the Articles Amendment Proposal and the EQT Adjournment Proposal to be “routine matters.” In accordance with NYSE Rule 452, banks, brokers and other nominees who hold shares of common stock in “street name” for their customers have discretionary authority to vote such shares on “routine matters” but do not have such discretionary authority to vote the shares on “non-routine matters.” Accordingly, if a beneficial owner of shares of EQT common stock held by a bank, broker or other nominee on its behalf in “street name” does not instruct the bank, broker or other nominee how to vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal, the bank, broker or other nominee may nonetheless vote on the Articles Amendment Proposal if it chooses to exercise such discretionary authority. Likewise, if a beneficial owner of shares of EQT common stock held by a bank, broker or other nominee on its behalf in “street name” does not instruct the bank, broker or other nominee how to vote on the EQT Adjournment Proposal, the bank, broker or other nominee may nonetheless vote on the EQT Adjournment Proposal if it chooses to exercise such discretionary authority. However, in the absence of customer instructions, banks, brokers and other nominees may deliver “broker non-votes” in connection with, and shares held in “street name” will not be voted on, the Share Issuance Proposal.

Actual outcomes and results may be materially different from the results stated or implied in such forward-looking statements included in this Report.

Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements in this Report due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the possibility that shareholders of EQT may not approve the issuance of EQT common stock or the amendment to EQT’s charter in connection with the Merger; the possibility that the shareholders of Equitrans may not adopt the Merger Agreement; the risk that required governmental and regulatory approvals may delay the Merger or result in the imposition of conditions that could cause the parties to abandon the Merger; the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Merger in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management’s time from ongoing business operations due to the Merger; the risk that any announcements relating to the Merger could have adverse effects on the market price of EQT common stock or Equitrans common stock; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the Merger; the risk of any litigation relating to the Merger; the risk that the Merger and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of EQT and Equitrans to retain and hire key personnel, on the ability of EQT or Equitrans to attract third-party customers and maintain their relationships with derivatives and joint venture counterparties and on EQT’s and Equitrans’ operating results and businesses generally; the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of EQT and Equitrans, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected; the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve synergies or other anticipated benefits of the Merger or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies or benefits and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected; the volatility in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas; Equitrans’ ability to satisfy the condition in the Merger Agreement relating to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorization regarding in service of the Mountain Valley Pipeline project as of the closing date of the Merger; the effect of future regulatory or legislative actions on EQT and Equitrans or the industry in which they operate, including the risk of new restrictions with respect to oil and natural gas development activities; the risk that the credit ratings of the combined business may be different from what EQT and Equitrans expect; the ability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals and other risks inherent in EQT’s and Equitrans’ businesses; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions; the potential disruption or interruption of EQT’s or Equitrans’ operations due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather, cyber threats, terrorist acts, or other natural or human causes beyond EQT’s or Equitrans’ control; the combined company’s ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent in operating in the global energy industry; and other factors detailed in EQT’s and Equitrans’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond EQT’s and Equitrans’ control. Additional risks or uncertainties that are not currently known to EQT or Equitrans, that EQT or Equitrans currently deem to be immaterial, or that could apply to any company could also cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements in this Report. EQT and Equitrans undertake no obligation to publicly correct or update the forward-looking statements in this Report, in other documents or on their respective websites to reflect new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
