Explanatory Note: The EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan, as successor in interest to the EQT Corporation Savings and Protection Plan, filed a Form 15 on January 2, 2013 to reflect the suspension of the EQT Corporation Savings and Protection Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a result of its merger into the EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan (formerly known as the Equitable Resources, Inc. Employee Savings Plan), with the EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan being the surviving and continuing plan.
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Form 15 is to clarify that EQT Corporation’s duty to file reports under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), never ceased and continues with respect to its common stock, no par value per share, and that EQT Corporation’s common stock remains registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan, as successor in interest to the EQT Corporation Savings and Protection Plan, has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
