This Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 3, 2017 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on July 5, 2017 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on July 31, 2017 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on August 14, 2017 ("Amendment No. 3"), Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on September 20, 2017 ("Amendment No. 4") and Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC on October 2, 2017, ("Amendment No. 5", and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4 and this Amendment No. 6, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares ("Shares") of common stock, no par value, of EQT Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 6 amends Items 3, 4, 5(a), (b) and (c) and 7 as set forth below.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The two first paragraphs of Item 3 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

The 10,374,129 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $599.2 million.

The 10,257,129 Shares reported herein by JANA were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $592.5 million. Such Shares were acquired with investment funds in accounts managed by JANA and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such Shares are held by the investment funds managed by JANA in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to JANA from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:

On October 24, 2017, JANA released a presentation to shareholders of the Issuer attached hereto as Exhibit L and incorporated herein by reference. 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 173,832,392 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of September 25, 2017, as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3), filed with the SEC on October 12, 2017.

CUSIP No. 26884L109 SCHEDULE 13D/A Page 7 of 8 Pages

As of the close of business on the date hereof, JANA may be deemed to beneficially own 10,257,129 Shares, representing approximately 5.9% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. J. Cohen may be deemed to beneficially own 75,000 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Mr. E. Cohen may be deemed to beneficially own 35,000 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding.

By virtue of the Nominee Agreements and the Cooperation Agreement, JANA, each of the Potential Nominees and Mr. E. Cohen may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 10,374,129 Shares, representing approximately 6.0% of the outstanding Shares. Each Potential Nominee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by JANA, each other Potential Nominee and Mr. E. Cohen. JANA expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by each Potential Nominee and Mr. E. Cohen. Mr. E. Cohen expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by JANA and each Potential Nominee.

(b) JANA has sole voting and dispositive power over the 10,257,129 Shares, which power is exercised by the Principal. Mr. J. Cohen has sole voting and dispositive power over the 75,000 Shares beneficially owned by him. Mr. Herz has sole voting and dispositive power over the 7,000 Shares beneficially owned by him. Mr. E.
