On October 27, 2016, EQT Midstream Services, LLC (the General Partner), the general partner of EQT Midstream Partners, LP (the Partnership), announced that David L. Porges, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), will retire from his duties as CEO in the first quarter of 2017, following the filing of the Partnership’s Form 10-K.  Mr. Porges notified the General Partner of his intent to retire on October 24, 2016.  Steven T.

Item 7.01.                                        Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 27, 2016, the Partnership issued a news release with respect to the matter described above, a copy of which is furnished with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.  The information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Disclosures in this Form 8-K contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this Form 8-K specifically include the expectations of management transition plans of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Partnership has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events. While the Partnership considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Partnership’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of the Partnership’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and the Partnership does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
