E&P EQT Corp. and Equitrans Midstream Corp. have entered into a definitive merger agreement reuniting the two companies in an all-stock deal worth roughly $5.45 billion, according to a March 11 press release.
The companies said the deal creates the U.S.’ only large-scale, vertically integrated natural gas company prepared to “compete on the global stage,” according to EQT — an echo of the rationale Chesapeake Energy cited in its $7.4 billion merger announcement in January with Southwestern Energy.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Equitrans common stock will be exchanged for 0.3504 shares of EQT common stock, representing an implied value of $12.50 per Equitrans share brd on the volume weighted average price of EQT common stock for the 30 days ending on March 8. The transaction suggests a 12% premium over Equitrans’ March 8 closing price of $11.16.
After the deal, EQT shareholders would own 74% of the combined company and Equitrans shareholders the remaining 26%.
EQT said that when complete, the combined company’s enterprise value would exceed $35 billion and add more than 2,000 miles of critical pipeline infrastructure with “extensive overlap with EQT's core upstream operations and existing midstream assets.”
