ITEM 5. Other Events
o On May 30, 2000, Equitable Resources, Inc. (the Registrant; NYSE:
EQT) announced that it is moving the headquarters of its
Equitable Production unit from Alexandria, Virginia to
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition, the board of directors
approved a revised capital spending plan for the year 2000. Under
the revised plan, Production segment capital spending will be
reduced from $116 million to $96 million. The revised capital
spending plan reflects a shift in spending due to the Production
segment's acquisition earlier this year of Statoil Energy
subsidiaries and the combination of the segment's Gulf of Mexico
production assets with Westport.
o On May 30, 2000, Equitable Resources, Inc. announced Murry S.
Gerber, President and Chief Executive Officer, has been named
Chairman of the Board of Directors for Equitable Resources.
