Item 3.         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following two paragraphs:

On November 13, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 19, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of October 26, 2017, the Merger Agreement), by and among EQT, Eagle Merger Sub I, Inc. (Merger Sub) and Rice, Merger Sub merged with and into Rice (the Merger), with the result that Rice became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT. As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Rice (Rice Common Stock) (other than shares of Rice Common Stock held by EQT or certain of its subsidiaries, shares held by Rice in treasury or shares with respect to which appraisal was properly demanded pursuant to Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive 0.37 of a share of common stock of EQT, no par value, and $5.30 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. Immediately after the effective time of the Merger, the surviving corporation in the Merger was merged with and into EQT RE, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the EQT, with EQT RE surviving the second merger.

As a result of the series of transactions to effectuate the Merger, on November 13, 2017, EQT as the indirect 100% owner of GP Holdings, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3, be deemed to beneficially own the 3,623 Common Units and 28,753,623 Subordinated Units held of record by GP Holdings, which based on there being 73,549,485 Common Units and 28,753,623 Subordinated Units outstanding as of November 13, 2017, represented approximately 28.1% of the outstanding Units.

Item 4.         Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following additional disclosures:

(a)  (b)  As a result of the Merger, EQT obtained, among other things, Rices indirect 100% ownership interest in Rice Midstream Holdings, which as of November 13, 2017 indirectly owned approximately 28.1% of the limited partner interests and 100% of the incentive distribution rights of the Issuer.  In addition, EQT obtained ownership of certain other midstream assets owned directly by Rice, Rice Midstream Holdings, and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Rice Midstream Holdings (the Rice Retained Midstream Assets).

12

EQT intends to seek to sell the Rice Retained Midstream Assets to EQT Midstream Partners, LP (EQM), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership in which, as of November 13, 2017, EQT indirectly owned a 1.8% general partner interest, all of the incentive distribution rights and a 26.6% limited partner interest (the Rice Retained Midstream Transaction).  Completion of the Rice Retained Midstream Transaction would be subject to, among other things, satisfactory negotiation of a definitive agreement providing for the terms and conditions under which the applicable assets would be sold, and there can be no assurance than any such transaction will occur.

Other than the Rice Retained Midstream Transaction, as of the date of this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons have not formulated any definitive plan or proposal relating to or which would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer or its subsidiaries (the Enumerated Matters).  However, the Reporting Persons intend to evaluate a wide range of potential transactions and strategic alternatives involving the Issuer, its subsidiaries and, EQTs other subsidiaries, that could involve any or all of the Enumerated Matters, including, without limitation, the acquisition by an affiliate of EQT of the incentive distribution rights of the Issuer and/or a merger of the Issuer with EQM. There can be no assurance that exploration of any transaction or alternative, to the extent undertaken, would result in a transaction of interest to the Reporting Persons or the Issuer, or as to the terms of any such transaction.  The Reporting Persons undertake no obligation to make additional disclosures in connection with the matters described herein except to the extent required by law.

(d)  The RMP General Partner has sole responsibility for conducting the Issuers business and for managing its operations and is ultimately controlled by EQT. Some of the executive officers and directors of EQT and the other reporting persons also serve as executive officers or directors of the RMP General Partner. Neither the RMP General Partner nor its board of directors will be elected by the Issuers unitholders. Through its indirect ownership of the RMP General Partner, EQT has the right to elect the RMP General Partners entire board of directors.  The information disclosed in Item 5.02 of the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 13, 2017 is incorporated herein by reference.

(e)   EQT, as an indirect owner of the RMP General Partner, may cause the Issuer to change its distribution policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future. The Reporting Persons, however, have no current intention of changing the present capitalization or distribution policy of the Issuer.

Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, none of the Covered Individuals own any Common Units.

(c)                               Except as described in Item 3 above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons knowledge, the Covered Individuals, has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days.

(d)                                 The Reporting Persons have the right to receive distributions from, and the proceeds from the sale of, the respective Common Units reported by such persons on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and in this Item 5.  Except for the foregoing and the cash distributions described in Item 6, no other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of distributions from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons or, to the Reporting Persons knowledge, the Covered Individuals.

(e)                                  Not applicable.
