Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced, on May 10, 2021, EQT Corporation
(EQT) entered into a Purchase Agreement with BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several initial
purchasers named in Schedule 1 thereto, relating to the issuance and sale (the Offering) of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount
of its 3.125% senior notes due 2026 (the 2026 Notes) and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.625% senior notes due 2031
(the 2031 Notes and, together with the 2026 Notes, the Notes).
On May 17, 2021, EQT completed the Offering. The
2026 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 18, 2008 (the Original Indenture), as supplemented by a Second Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of June 30, 2008 (the Second Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Original Indenture, the Base Indenture),
and as further supplemented by a Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 17, 2021 (the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture); and the
2031 Notes were issued pursuant to the Base Indenture, as supplemented by a Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 17, 2021
(the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture), in each case between EQT (or its predecessor) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.
The 2026 Notes will mature on May 15, 2026 and
accrue interest at a rate of 3.125% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15,
2021. The 2031 Notes will mature on May 15, 2031 and accrue interest at a rate of 3.625% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and
November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2021.
The Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Twelfth
Supplemental Indenture and the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture (collectively, the Indenture), contains covenants that limit EQT’s
ability to, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, incur certain debt secured by liens and engage in certain
sale and leaseback transactions, and limits EQT’s ability to enter into certain consolidations, mergers or sales other than for
cash or leases of its assets substantially as an entirety to another entity or to purchase the assets of another entity substantially
as an entirety.
The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and
the Notes are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Indenture, the Second Supplemental
Indenture, the Twelfth Supplemental Indenture, the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, the form of the 2026 Notes and the form of the 2031
Notes, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, respectively, and are incorporated into this Item
1.01 by reference.
