<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Carnegie, PA, February&nbsp;13, 2019 &#151; Toby Z. Rice and Derek A. Rice, shareholders of EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT), today sent a letter to the Board of
Directors of EQT requesting that it commit to holding the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of EQT Corporation in April as it did every year before 2018. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The letter follows: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Board of Directors </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EQT Corporation </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EQT Plaza </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Members of the Board: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Rice Team is writing to you
today to ask that EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) (&#147;EQT&#148;) hold its 2019 Annual Meeting in April, as the Company has for decades. We are making this request for one simple reason: because it is in the best interests of EQT and all its
stakeholders for shareholders to timely decide EQT&#146;s path forward. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It remains our preference to work with the Board in order to reach a constructive
solution that capitalizes on the unique and proven operational expertise of the Rice Team and helps EQT realize its full potential. However, as we have made clear, should the Board choose an alternate path and decide not to engage with us, we are
ready to nominate highly-qualified director candidates and allow shareholders to vote at the meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Regardless of whether you agree with our views or
our publicly stated plan for the Company, the fact is that further delaying a resolution to this situation benefits no one. EQT needs a clear path forward and the matters facing the Company are urgent. The meeting was only moved to June last year
due to circumstances related to the spinoff of the midstream business, and this scheduling anomaly should not serve as an excuse. As such, shareholders should be able to have their voices heard in April, as they always have been. We know that other
shareholders have publicly and privately shared their support for this view, and we sincerely hope that you appreciate our position and decide to hold the meeting in April without further delay. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Respectfully, </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Toby Z.
