Summary
EQT Corporation (EQT) filed an 8-K report on January 24, 2013, primarily to announce its 2012 earnings via an attached press release (Exhibit 99.1). While the 8-K itself does not contain detailed financial figures, it serves as a notification to investors that EQT has disclosed its year-end 2012 financial results. Investors seeking specific performance metrics, revenue, profit, or operational highlights for 2012 will need to review the referenced press release (Exhibit 99.1) for those details. The filing also clarifies that the information furnished in this 8-K and the press release is not considered "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning EQT is not subject to the liabilities associated with that section for this particular disclosure. This is a standard practice for press releases furnished under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Investors should note this distinction regarding the legal implications of the disclosed information.
