Cautionary Statements.

 

Disclosures in this Form 8-K contain forward-looking statements.  Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K specifically include statements regarding a potential sale of EQT’s non-core production and related pipeline assets in the Huron Play. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.   EQT can make no assurance regarding whether any sale will occur or the amount of consideration to be received in any sale.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond EQT’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of EQT’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of EQT’s Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
