<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">The shareholder seeking to shake up EQT Corp. has filed
a lawsuit accusing the gas driller of trying to create an uneven playing field in the company&rsquo;s ongoing boardroom battle.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 12pt">Investor Toby Rice alleges EQT is taking the unusual step
of requiring nominees for the board to consent to being named in the company&rsquo;s proxy materials, according to a copy of the
complaint in Pennsylvania state court reviewed by Bloomberg News. The copy includes a stamp indicating it was filed in court.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The steps that Rice details aren&rsquo;t
required by the company&rsquo;s bylaws, may violate state law, and are being done to give the company an advantage in its proxy
fight with Rice and his team, according to the complaint.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">In an interview, EQT Chief Executive Officer
Robert McNally said that&rsquo;s not the case and that the materials the company asks the nominees to sign are the same it would
seek of any nominee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">&ldquo;This really kind of strikes as much
ado about nothing,&rdquo; McNally said by telephone Thursday. &ldquo;It seems like they&rsquo;re really just trying to distract
the market from what was a really good quarter for EQT and just change the narrative.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">Rice argues that including dissidents candidates
on the company proxy card would create &ldquo;the deceptive appearance&rdquo; that its nominees support the incumbents.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">&ldquo;These circumstances make it far
more likely that a shareholder will vote on the company&rsquo;s proxy card, unfairly tipping the scale in the company&rsquo;s favor,&rdquo;
according to the complaint.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">EQT shares fell 2.2 percent in trading
Thursday to $20.29 share as of 1:09 p.m. in New York, giving the company a market value of about $5.2 billion. McNally attributed
the drop to a sector-wide reaction to higher-than-expected natural gas storage levels.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">Earlier in the day, EQT released first-quarter
results and said it would scale back drilling and boost well completions. McNally said the company is having &ldquo;real success&rdquo;
in improving operating efficiencies despite the fact that the management team is relatively new.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The Rice brothers argue that &ldquo;even
if EQT achieves its guidance for 2019, which it failed to do in 2018, it would still be the highest cost operator in the&rdquo;
Marcellus shale basin. &ldquo;Nothing has changed the urgent need to replace leadership and institute the Rice Plan,&rdquo; they
said in an emailed statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">EQT&rsquo;s stock is down 19 percent in
the past year through Wednesday.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in"><B>Activist Investors</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">EQT has come under pressure from the Rice
team, which collectively owns about 3.1 percent of the company and seeks to make Toby Rice its chief executive officer. The group
has nominated nine directors to replace the majority of the company&rsquo;s board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The group, which includes Toby Rice&rsquo;s
brother Derek, argues that EQT has underperformed since it acquired their old company, Rice Energy Inc., in 2017. The brothers
have the backing of two other activists, D.E. Shaw and Elliott Management Corp.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">Rice contends in his lawsuit that EQT should
either agree to the standard procedure of having investors vote on either the company&rsquo;s slate or that of the activists. Failing
that, he argues EQT should agree to use a so-called universal proxy card, which allows investors to vote for candidates from either
slate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">&ldquo;We believe both sides agreeing to
use a universal proxy card would reflect best-in-class corporate governance, as the most qualified directors would be elected regardless
of which proxy card a shareholder voted on,&rdquo; Toby Rice said in a statement. &quot;We also believe it is unconscionable for
the EQT board to attempt to coerce shareholder votes by allowing a loss of the election to potentially trigger substantial penalties
under EQT&rsquo;s credit agreement.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The investor is asking a judge to invalidate
any requirement for his group&rsquo;s nominees to consent to being named on the company&rsquo;s proxy card and bar EQT from doing
so. They also seek an order forcing the company to approve its nominees so that a credit agreement provision won&rsquo;t be triggered,
according to the complaint. The lawsuit couldn&rsquo;t be immediately confirmed with the court in Pennsylvania State Court in Allegheny
County.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">If the company fails to approve the Rice
team&rsquo;s nominees, Rice argues in the suit that the company runs the risk of defaulting on at least $800 million of its debt
in the case a majority of the board is replaced at the annual general meeting July 10.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 0in">The case is Rice v. EQT Corp., Court of
Common Pleas, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.</P>
