EQT approves 2026 short-term incentive plan for executives and employees
EQT's Compensation Committee approved a 2026 Short-Term Incentive Plan on February 4, 2026, setting annual cash bonus opportunities for executive officers and other participating employees. The plan's terms and performance measures are substantially the same as the 2025 plan, so it is a routine annual update rather than a change in direction for shareholders.
Key points
- Committee approved the 2026 STIP on February 4, 2026; awards cover services in calendar year 2026 and are payable in 2027.
- Performance measures include free cash flow per share, total capital expenditures, cash operating costs, environmental, health and safety intensity, and natural gas production.
- The Compensation Committee can increase, reduce or eliminate any payable award and may settle awards in company stock under the 2020 LTIP.
- A change of control would pro-rate performance measurement and payouts through the change-of-control date.
