DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement), File No. 333-204193, of EQGP Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership formerly known as EQT GP Holdings, LP (EQGP), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2015. The Registration Statement registered 2,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in EQGP (EQGP Common Units) under the EQT GP Services, LLC 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

On January 10, 2019, Equitrans Midstream Corporation (ETRN) completed the purchase (the Buyout) of all outstanding EQGP Common Units (other than those owned by ETRN and its affiliates) pursuant to the exercise of the limited call right provided for in Section 15.1(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of EQGP, dated as of October 12, 2018. As a result of the Buyout, EQGP became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETRN.

 

As a result of the Buyout, EQGP has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by EQGP in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance and remain unsold at the termination of such offering, EQGP hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 all of such securities registered and remaining unsold under the Registration Statement.
