Proposed Sale of Properties	I. Proposed Sale of Properties On December 19, 2012, the Company and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Holdco, executed the Master Purchase Agreement with PNG Companies, the parent company of Peoples, pursuant to which EQT and Holdco will transfer 100% of their ownership interests of Equitable Gas and Homeworks to PNG Companies in exchange for cash and other assets of, and new commercial arrangements with, PNG Companies and its affiliates. Homeworks and Equitable Gas are direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdco. Peoples is a portfolio company of SteelRiver Infrastructure Fund North America LP. The Company has submitted filings with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC), the West Virginia Public Service Commission (WV PSC), the Kentucky Public Service Commission (KY PSC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) – each must approve the transaction as part of the regulatory process. The Company expects to receive all necessary approvals by the end of 2013. The transaction was also subject to review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act). The waiting period under the HSR Act expired on April 22, 2013, without a request for additional information. This expiration indicates that the FTC has not objected to the transaction and that, from an HSR Act perspective, the parties may complete the transaction. As the transaction is still subject to approval by the PA PUC, the WV PSC, the KY PSC and the FERC, the Company has not classified Equitable Gas and Homeworks as held for sale in its financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and will not do so until the Company makes satisfactory progress in the regulatory process. The Company incurred $0.8 million and $2.9 million in expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related to the proposed sale of Equitable Gas and Homeworks, which expenses are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Consolidated Income.
