EQT Corp Finalizes Amendments to Midstream Subsidiary Notes

EQT Corporation (NYSE:EQT), a prominent player in the crude petroleum and natural gas sector with a market capitalization of $31.4 billion and annual revenue of $5.04 billion, has successfully amended the indentures related to the notes issued by its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, EQM Midstream Partners, LP. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong financial momentum with a 55% return over the past six months. The amendments, which took effect on Tuesday, March 12, 2025, were adopted following the acquisition of the required consents from the note holders as of March 7, 2025.

The supplemental indentures, which modify the terms of the notes, were executed with the trustees of EQM’s outstanding notes, except for EQM’s 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028. These changes eliminate a majority of the restrictive covenants, certain default conditions, and other provisions from the indentures.

Notably, the amendments will remove the reporting covenant, limitations on liens, sale-leaseback transaction restrictions, and certain requirements for an offer to repurchase notes upon a change of control. Furthermore, a failure to comply with non-payment related covenants or agreements will no longer trigger an event of default.

These modifications are contingent upon the completion of EQM’s ongoing cash tender offer for its 6.500% Senior Notes due 2027 and EQT’s concurrent private exchange offers for all existing EQM notes. These offers are set to expire on March 24, 2025, and the amendments will become operative upon the successful purchase or exchange of the notes tendered.

The supplemental indentures will bind all holders of the affected notes, even those who did not tender their notes in the offers, with the exception of the holders of the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2028.

This strategic move aligns with EQT (ST:EQTAB)’s broader financial operations and is based on the company’s SEC filing. It is important to note that the tender and exchange offers are subject to specific terms and conditions detailed in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, both dated February 24, 2025.

EQT Corporation, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has not disclosed any further details regarding the financial impact or strategic implications of these amendments. The company’s stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol EQT and is currently trading near its 52-week high of $56.66. Based on InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis, the stock appears to be trading above its intrinsic value, with 13 additional exclusive ProTips available to subscribers.
