Because the aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be greater than the Aggregate Offer Cap, EQT will accept Notes for purchase based on the Acceptance Priority Procedures and the proration procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, and EQT does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Date.

Payment for Notes validly tendered by the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase is expected to be made on March 26, 2026. EQT's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. EQT reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to hereafter (i) waive or modify, in whole or in part, any or all conditions of the Tender Offer, (ii) extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Offer Cap or either or both Offer SubCaps or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect.

Any persons with questions regarding the Tender Offer should contact (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. by calling (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect) or emailing ny.liabilitymanagement@citi.com or (ii) BofA Securities, Inc. by calling (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 287-6959 (collect) or emailing debt_advisory@bofa.com.
