Pension Termination

In December 2015, the Company announced the termination of the EQT Corporation Retirement Plan for Employees (Retirement Plan) effective December 31, 2015, subject to regulatory approval. On March 2, 2016, the IRS issued a favorable determination letter for the termination of the Retirement Plan. On June 28, 2016, the Company purchased annuities from, and transferred the Retirement Plan assets and liabilities to, American General Life Insurance Company (AGL). As a result, the Company reclassified actuarial loss remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss of approximately $9.4 million to earnings and approximately $5.1 million to a regulatory asset that will be amortized for rate recovery purposes over a period of 16 years. In connection with the purchase of annuities, the Company made a cash payment of approximately $5.4 million to fully fund the Retirement Plan upon liquidation during the second quarter of 2016.
