- EQT (EQT -0.2%) and shareholder D.E. Shaw have gotten an early termination of their Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period, according to the FTC.
- Shaw had started an activist campaign in the fall seeking a breakup of EQT after the latter closed a purchase of Rice Energy (NYSE:RICE), which was approved in early November.
- But Shaw had moved by the end of October to throw its support to the $6.7B deal.
