The Offer is being made in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 24, 2016 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Trans Energy, EQT and the Purchaser, pursuant to which, after the completion of the Offer and the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the Purchaser will be merged with and into Trans Energy, with Trans Energy continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) shares of common stock held by Trans Energy or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries as treasury stock or owned by EQT or any of its subsidiaries, including the Purchaser, all of which will be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (ii) Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), if any) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, less any required withholding tax.

After careful consideration, the Trans Energy Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Offer, the Merger and the Top-Up Option (as defined herein) (collectively, the "Transactions"), are advisable, and in the best interests of, Trans Energy and its stockholders, (ii) adopted, approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and (iii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of Trans Energy accept the Offer, tender their Shares and, if required by applicable law, approve the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted for payment, and will promptly pay for, all Shares validly tendered in the Offer, and not validly withdrawn, prior to the Expiration Date if and when the Purchaser gives oral or written notice to the Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance of the tender of such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. Payment for Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary of (a) certificates for such Shares or a Book-Entry Confirmation (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) with respect to such Shares pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase, (b) a Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent's Message (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of the Letter of Transmittal) and (c) any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal or any other customary documents required by the Depositary. Accordingly, tendering stockholders may be paid at different times depending upon when certificates for Shares or Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to Shares are actually received by the Depositary. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the Offer Price for Shares, regardless of any extension of the Offer or any delay in payment for Shares.

The Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or other person (other than the Depositary and the Information Agent as described in the Offer to Purchase) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer.
