Rice Brothers Drop 2 Proposed Board Members from Rice Proxy Card

A few new developments to report in the war to control EQT. Late last week brothers Toby and Derek Rice, formerly of Rice Energy, announced they are trimming their slate of proposed EQT board members by two (from nine to seven). There was no explanation for why the two were dropped from consideration, other than the Rice boys said they had reviewed EQT's proposal to add three new board members (replacing three existing board members), and that two of the three, in the Rices' opinion, "appear qualified" to serve on the board and "as a result" Rice dropped two of its proposed slate of board members.
