On February 12, 2013, the Management Performance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Questar Corporation (the “Company”) approved grants of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) for the named executive officers of the Company and approved either RSU grants or phantom stock grants for non-employee directors. All of the grants were made pursuant to the terms of the Company's Long-term Stock Incentive Plan, which was reapproved by shareholders in May 2010. The Company made the following RSU grants to the named executive officers:

R. Allan Bradley | 16,406 |

Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Company common stock upon vesting or at any earlier time as provided in the RSU award agreement, unless forfeited. The RSUs granted to executives vest over three years in approximately equal installments. The first installment of one-third of the shares will vest on March 5, 2014. Any executive who terminates his employment with the Company other than because of his death or disability, will forfeit all unvested RSUs to the extent not yet vested at the time of termination. The executives will receive cash dividend equivalents payable on or about the same time ordinary quarterly cash dividends are paid to shareholders of the Company. For more information about the grant terms, refer to the form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the RSU grants is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Each non-employee director who did not previously elect to defer awards under the Questar Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors, received a grant of 4,234 RSUs. Each non-employee director who previously elected to defer awards under the Questar Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors will receive 4,234 shares of phantom stock in lieu of a grant of 4,234 shares of restricted stock or RSUs. The RSUs and phantom stock granted to the non-employee directors vest on March 5, 2014. Any non-employee director who terminates service as a director with the Company prior to the vesting date, other than if due to his or her death, disability, mandatory retirement at age 72, or failure to be renominated for any reason other than failure to adequately perform his or her duties as a director, will forfeit all unvested RSUs or phantom stock to the extent not yet vested at the time of termination. For more information about the RSU grant terms, refer to the form of Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement for Directors filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
