EQT Corporation ("EQT") (NYSE: EQT) and Range Resources Corporation ("Range") (NYSE: RRC) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement, under which EQT will acquire Range in an all-stock transaction to create America's leading natural gas company with a pro forma enterprise value over $50 billion. Under the terms of the merger agreement, unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies, EQT will acquire Range in an all-stock transaction. Each outstanding share of Range common stock will be exchanged for 0.987 shares of EQT common stock. As a result of the transaction, EQT's existing shareholders are expected to own approximately 73% of the combined company and Range's shareholders are expected to own approximately 27%. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2027, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and clearances, approval of the transaction by shareholders of both EQT and Range, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Upon the closing of the transaction, two representatives from Range, including Dennis Degner, will join EQT's Board of Directors. EQT's executive management team will lead the combined company with headquarters remaining in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
