We did not repurchase any equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act during the fourth quarter of 2025.
On December 13, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the Share Repurchase Program) authorizing us to repurchase shares of EQT's outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1 billion, excluding fees, commissions and expenses. On September 6, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $1 billion increase to the Share Repurchase Program, pursuant to which approval we are authorized to repurchase shares of EQT's outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2 billion, excluding fees, commissions and expenses. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in amounts and at prices we deem appropriate and will be subject to a variety of factors, including the market price of EQT's common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The Share Repurchase Program was originally scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023; however, on April 26, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a one-year extension of the Share Repurchase Program. Further, on December 18, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors approved an additional two-year extension of the Share Repurchase Program. As a result of the most recent extension, the Share Repurchase Program will expire on December 31, 2026, but it may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time in amounts at prices we deem appropriate and will be subject to a variety of factors, including the market price of EQT's common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. As of December 31, 2025, we had purchased shares for an aggregate purchase price of $622.1 million, excluding fees, commissions and expenses, under the Share Repurchase Program since its inception, and the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Share Repurchase Program is $1.4 billion.
