EQT, the natural gas producer, established a commercial paper program on Wednesday that allows up to [$3.5 billion](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000033213/000110465926114364/tm2627066d1%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co) of short-term, unsecured notes to be outstanding at any time, according to an 8-K. The company said it has not issued any notes yet.

## What the 8-K says

Commercial paper is short-term borrowing sold to investors at a discount from face value or at par. EQT's filing says the notes will be sold in the U.S. commercial paper market on customary terms, with interest rates set when each note is issued.

The [$3.5 billion ceiling](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000033213/000110465926114364/tm2627066d1%5F8k.htm?ref=bullished.co) is on the amount outstanding at one time, and it can be raised under the terms of each Commercial Paper Dealer Agreement. Maturities can vary but may not exceed 397 days from issuance.

The notes are sold under an exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and the filing says they have not been and will not be registered. One or more dealers will buy the notes or arrange their sale, and a national bank will act as issuing and paying agent. The form of dealer agreement is Exhibit 10.1.

The filing was signed by Chief Financial Officer Jeremy T. Knop.

## What it changes

EQT gets a new short-term funding channel alongside its existing bank facility. The filing expects net proceeds to go to general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and repayment of other debt.

The revolving credit facility is the safety net. The company expects its senior unsecured revolving credit facility to serve as a liquidity backstop, and it intends to keep available capacity at least equal to the notes outstanding.

The filing notes that the dealers and their affiliates have provided lending, banking and advisory services to EQT and received customary fees, and may do so again.

## What to watch

The first sign of use will be whether EQT issues notes under the program and which of the listed purposes the proceeds go to.

As of the filing, the program is in place but unused: no notes have been issued.
