(1) On November 13, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 19, 2017 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Rice Energy Inc. ("Rice"), EQT Corporation ("EQT") and Eagle Merger Sub I, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into Rice (the "Merger"), with Rice (now EQT RE, LLC ("EQT RE")) continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of EQT. This Form 3 is being filed jointly by EQT, EQT Investments Holdings, LLC ("Investments Holdings"), and EQT Production Company ("EQT Production") in connection with the closing of the Merger. EQT directly owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Investments Holdings. Investments Holdings directly owns 100% of the common stock of EQT Production. EQT Production directly owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of EQT RE. EQT RE indirectly owns interests in Rice Midstream Partners LP (the "Issuer").
(2) (cont. from footnote 1) EQT, Investments Holdings, and EQT Production may therefore be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer owned directly by EQT RE through its subsidiaries.
(3) The Subordinated Units have no expiration date and will convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis at the end of the "subordination period" described in the Issuer's Prospectus (File No. 333-199932) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2014.
