Supplement
to Proxy Statement
for
2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To Be
Held April 21, 2021
This
supplement (this “Supplement”) provides updated and supplemental information with respect to the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
(the “Annual Meeting”) of EQT Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,”
or “EQT”), to be held on April 21, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time via live webcast, accessible at: www.meetingcenter.io/281736112.
This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement (the “Proxy
Statement”) for the Annual Meeting made available on or about March 2, 2021.
Except as set forth below, this Supplement
does not change the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting or our Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) recommendations
with respect to the proposals, which are described in the Proxy Statement. Except as specifically supplemented or amended by the information
contained in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement continues to apply and should be considered when voting
your shares.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are deeply saddened to inform you that Stephen
A. Thorington passed away unexpectedly on April 17, 2021. Mr. Thorington, age 65, had served as a director of the Company since
2010 and was the Chair of the Audit Committee at the time of his passing. Our Board and management team wish to express our gratitude
and appreciation for Mr. Thorington’s many years of leadership and service to the Company and its shareholders, and we send
our condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Thorington.
Mr. Thorington was a director nominee standing
for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Due to the unexpected nature of Mr. Thorington’s death, which occurred
after we finalized the Proxy Statement, and the limited time until the Annual Meeting, the Board has not designated a substitute nominee
for Mr. Thorington. The Board has determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to reduce the size of
the Board from twelve to eleven directors, and hereby remove Mr. Thorington as a director nominee.
The following other director nominees named in
the Proxy Statement will continue to stand for election at the Annual Meeting:
Ø Lydia I. Beebe
|
Ø Dr. Kathryn J. Jackson
|
Ø Daniel J. Rice IV
|
Ø Philip G. Behrman, Ph.D.
|
Ø John F. McCartney
|
Ø Toby Z. Rice
|
Ø Lee M. Canaan
|
Ø James T. McManus II
|
Ø Hallie A. Vanderhider
|
Ø Janet L. Carrig
|
Ø Anita M. Powers
|
|
The form of proxy card included with the distribution
of the Proxy Statement remains valid; however, any votes cast with respect to Mr. Thorington will be disregarded and not be
counted.
If you have already voted, you do not need to
take any action unless you wish to revoke your proxy or change your vote using the methods described in the Proxy Statement. It is not
necessary for you to re-vote your shares if you have already voted. Proxy cards and voting instruction forms already returned will remain
valid and shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions unless revoked. No votes
received before or after the date of this Supplement will be counted for the election of Mr. Thorington to our Board.
As always, your vote is very important. We urge
you to please vote by Internet, telephone, mobile device, or mail in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Proxy Statement
as soon as possible to ensure your vote is recorded promptly, even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
William E. Jordan
Executive Vice Preident, General Counsel and Corporate
Secretary
