(1) On February 15, 2018, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Rice Midstream Partners LP ("Partnership"), as amended, the 28,753,623 subordinated units owned by Rice Midstream GP Holdings LP ("Rice GP Holdings") converted into common units of the Partnership on a one-for-one basis for no additional consideration, resulting in the acquisition of 28,753,623 common units of the Partnership.

EQT directly owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Investment Holdings. Investments Holdings directly owns 100% of the common stock of EQT Production. EQT Production directly owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of EQT RE. EQT RE and Rice Energy Sub Holdings LLC ("Rice Sub Holdings") directly own 100% of the outstanding membership interests in REO,
(3) (cont. from footnote 2) and EQT RE directly owns 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Rice Sub Holdings.
