Explanation of Responses:

1. On November 13, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 19, 2017 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Rice Energy Inc. ("Rice"), EQT Corporation (the "Company") and Eagle Merger Sub I, Inc. ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into Rice (the "Merger"), with Rice continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Rice common stock issued and outstanding converted into the right to receive: (A) 0.37 shares of Company common stock, and (B) $5.30 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Exchange"). As a result of the Merger Exchange, the Reporting Person received the Company common stock reported on Table I in exchange for 49,431 shares of Rice common stock.

2. Restricted stock unit award, received in exchange for the conversion of the Reporting Person's unvested Rice director restricted stock unit award in connection with the closing of the Merger, which vests May 31, 2018 provided that the recipient continues to serve as a director of the Company on such date.

3. Each restricted stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of the Company's common stock.

4. Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.
