Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 5) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 14, 2018, as amended to date (the Schedule 13D), relating to common units representing limited partner interests (Common Units) in EQM Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 5 and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The total consideration paid for the Common Units in connection with the EQM Merger was valued at approximately $1.8 billion (based on the closing price of ETRN’s Common Stock on June 16, 2020) and consisted of the issuance of shares of ETRN Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding Common Units of the Issuer other than the Common Units owned by ETRN and its subsidiaries. Each outstanding EQM Common Unit unit not owned by ETRN or its subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive, subject to any applicable withholding tax, 2.44 shares of ETRN Common Stock.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

On June 17, 2020, pursuant to the EQM Merger Agreement, EQM Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing and surviving as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ETRN. Pursuant to the terms of the EQM Merger Agreement, each outstanding Common Unit (other than Common Units owned by ETRN and its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive, subject to any applicable withholding tax, 2.44 shares of ETRN Common Stock. As a result, the Reporting Persons collectively are the beneficial owners of all Common Units of the Issuer.

Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the EQM Merger Agreement, the Issuer’s Common Units ceased to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) – (b)

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of Common Units and percentage of Common Units beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of Common Units as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
