EXPLANATORY NOTE
On February 28, 1997, the registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-22529) (the “Registration Statement”) to register 150,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the EQT Corporation Savings and Protection Plan (formerly known as the Equitable Resources, Inc. Savings and Protection Plan) (the “Protection Plan”). The Protection Plan has been merged into the EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan (formerly known as the Equitable Resources, Inc. Employee Savings Plan) (the “Savings Plan”), with the Savings Plan being the surviving and continuing plan. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is being filed to deregister any shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Registration Statement as well as any related plan interests registered under the Registration Statement. The Registrant is concurrently filing a new registration statement on Form S-8 to register shares of its Common Stock and related plan interests issuable under the Savings Plan.
