provide you with a general description of the securities EQT may offer from time to time under our shelf registration statement. In this prospectus
supplement, we provide you with specific information about the notes that EQT is selling in this offering. Both this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus include important information about us, EQT's debt securities and other information you should know before investing. This
prospectus supplement also adds, updates and changes information contained in the accompanying prospectus. To the extent that any statement that we
make in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the statements made in the accompanying prospectus, the statements made in the accompanying
prospectus are deemed modified or superseded by the statements made in this prospectus supplement. You should read both this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus as well as additional information described under "Where You Can Find More Information" on page S-69 of this
prospectus supplement before investing in the notes.
You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or provided in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus or any free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us. Neither we nor the underwriters have authorized anyone to provide
you with additional or different information. If anyone provided you with additional or different information, you should not rely on it.
Neither we nor the underwriters are making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You
should assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by
reference is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed
since those dates.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Disclosures in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain certain forward-
looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking and
usually identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "would," "will," "may," "forecast," "approximate," "expect," "project,"
"intend," "plan," "believe" and other words of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial matters. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the
documents incorporated by reference include the matters discussed in the sections captioned "Outlook" in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and EQT's Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, and the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and
anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT and its subsidiaries, including guidance regarding the Company's strategy to develop its
Marcellus, Utica, Upper Devonian and other reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number, type, feet of pay and location of wells to be
drilled and the availability of capital to complete these plans and programs); production sales volumes (including liquids volumes) and growth rates;
gathering and transmission volumes; infrastructure programs (including the timing, cost and capacity of the gathering and transmission expansion
projects); the cost, capacity, timing of

regulatory approval, and anticipated in-service date of the Mountain Valley Pipeline project; technology (including drilling and completion techniques);
monetization transactions, including asset sales, joint ventures or other transactions involving the Company's assets; acquisition transactions; the
Company's ability to complete, the timing of, and the Company's financing of the funds required for, the Rice Merger (as defined below); natural gas

projected capital expenditures and capital contributions; the amount and timing of any repurchases under the Company's share repurchase authorization;
liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; hedging strategy; the effects of government regulation and litigation;
and tax position. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated
by reference involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on
current expectations and assumptions about future events. While EQT considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are
inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and
beyond the Company's control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Company's business and
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, "Risk Factors", and elsewhere in EQT's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as updated by Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in EQT's subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company does not intend to correct or update
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation, and not its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to "we," "us," "our," and the "Company" refer
collectively to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to "Appalachian Basin" refer to the area of the United States composed
of those portions of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia that lie in the Appalachian Mountains; "BBtu" refer to billion
British thermal units; "Bcfe" refer to billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalents, with one barrel of natural gas liquids (NGLs) and crude oil being
equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas; "Mcfe" refer to thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalents, with one barrel of NGLs and crude oil
being equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas; and "Tcfe" refer to trillion cubic feet of natural gas equivalents, with one barrel of NGLs and crude
oil being equivalent to 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas.
Our Company
The Company conducts its business through three business segments: EQT Production, EQT Gathering and EQT Transmission. EQT Production is
the largest natural gas producer in the Appalachian Basin, based on average daily sales volumes, with 13.5 Tcfe of proved natural gas, NGLs and crude
oil reserves across approximately 3.6 million gross acres, including approximately 790,000 gross acres in the Marcellus play, as of December 31, 2016.
EQT Gathering and EQT Transmission provide gathering, transmission and storage services for the Company's produced gas, as well as for independent
third parties across the Appalachian Basin, through EQT's ownership and control of EQT Midstream Partners, LP (EQM) (NYSE: EQM), a publicly
traded limited partnership formed by EQT to own, operate, acquire and develop midstream assets in the Appalachian Basin.
In 2015, EQT formed EQT GP Holdings, LP (EQGP) (NYSE: EQGP), a Delaware limited partnership, to own EQT's partnership interests,
including the incentive distribution rights (IDRs), in EQM. As of June 30, 2017, EQT owned the entire non-economic general partner interest and
239,715,000 common units, which represented a 90.1% limited partner interest, in EQGP. As of June 30, 2017, EQGP's only cash-generating assets
were the following EQM partnership interests: 21,811,643 EQM common units, representing a 26.6% limited partner interest in EQM; 1,443,015 EQM
general partner units, representing a 1.8% general partner interest in EQM; and all of EQM's IDRs, which entitle EQGP to receive 48.0% of all
incremental cash distributed in a quarter after $0.5250 has been distributed in respect of each common unit and general partner unit of EQM for that
quarter. EQT is the ultimate parent company of EQGP and EQM.
Due to EQT's ownership and control of EQGP and EQM, the results of EQGP and EQM are both consolidated in EQT's financial statements. EQT
records the noncontrolling interests of the public limited partners of EQGP and EQM in its financial statements.
As of June 30, 2017, EQT was the largest natural gas producer in the Appalachian Basin and the fourth largest producer in the United States based
on average daily sales volumes. Significant events in 2016 and the first half of 2017 for the Company include:

Express Pipeline. The OVC is certificated to provide approximately 850 BBtu per day of transmission capacity with an aggregate

BBtu per day of firm transmission capacity on the OVC.

Recent Developments
Rice Merger
On June 19, 2017, EQT and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Rice Merger Agreement) with
Rice, which provides for the Rice Merger. If the Rice Merger is completed, each share of the common stock of Rice issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the Rice Merger (other than shares excluded by the Rice Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive
0.37 of a share of the common stock of EQT and $5.30 in cash (the Merger Consideration). In connection with the closing of the Rice Merger, EQT also
intends to extinguish approximately $1.9 billion of net debt and preferred equity of Rice and its subsidiaries (based on anticipated balances as of
October 31, 2017) through the redemption, satisfaction and discharge or other retirement of Rice's 6.25% Senior Notes due 2022 and 7.25% Senior
Notes due 2023, the prepayment, termination or other retirement of the senior secured credit facilities of Rice and Rice Midstream Holdings LLC (Rice
Midstream Holdings) and the redemption of Rice Midstream Holdings' outstanding Series B preferred equity interest (collectively, the Rice
Refinancings) and will assume other assets and liabilities of Rice.

Bridge Facility
On June 19, 2017, in connection with its entry into the Rice Merger Agreement, EQT also entered into a commitment letter with Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. (Citi), pursuant to which Citi and its affiliates committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, up to $1.4 billion
of senior unsecured bridge loans (the Bridge Facility), the proceeds of which may be used to pay the cash portion of the Merger Consideration, to
refinance certain existing indebtedness of EQT, Rice and their respective subsidiaries, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Rice Merger
and related transactions. On July 14, 2017, EQT entered into a joinder letter pursuant to which 16 additional banks assumed a portion of Citi's
commitment under the Bridge Facility. We intend to issue the notes in this offering in lieu of borrowing under the Bridge Facility.

On September 13, 2017, EQT announced that, immediately upon the closing of the Rice Merger, it will establish a committee of the EQT board of
directors to evaluate options for addressing EQT's sum-of-the-parts discount. The committee will be led by Stephen A. Thorington and include select

obligations from time to time outstanding.

The notes will be effectively subordinated to any of EQT's existing and
future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that debt, and
structurally subordinated to all existing and any future debt and any other
liabilities of EQT's subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2017, EQT had
approximately $3.3 billion outstanding indebtedness with which the notes
will rank pari passu.

Further Issues
EQT may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or consent of
the holders, issue additional debt securities of the same tenor, coupon and
other terms of a series of notes. Any such additional notes, together with the
notes of such series offered hereby, will constitute a single series of notes of
such series under the applicable Indenture (as defined herein); provided, that
any such additional notes that are not fungible with the notes of such series
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN
and/or other identifying number, if applicable, than the notes of such series.
