EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On September 12, 1985, the registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-00252) (the “Registration Statement) to register an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the EQT Corporation Employee Savings Plan (formerly known as the Equitable Resources, Inc. Employee Savings Plan) (the “Savings Plan”) and $10,000,000 participation interests in the Savings Plan.  The EQT Corporation Savings and Protection Plan (formerly known as the Equitable Resources, Inc. Savings and Protection Plan) has been merged into 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 the associated participation interests.  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.
