Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends that you vote FOR each of the nominees to the Board (Proposal One) and FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 (Proposal Two).
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to Be Held on May 7, 2021: Annual Report, Notice & Proxy Statement and Proxy Card are available at www.proxypush.com/RNGR
Pursuant to the “notice and access” rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide stockholders access to our proxy materials over the Internet. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement, accompanying Notice and proxy card and the Company’s 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders are first being made available to stockholders at www.proxypush.com/RNGR is March 26, 2021. Such Notice will be sent to all shareholders of record as of March 8, 2021 (the “Record Date”). The Notice includes instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet and how to request a printed copy of these materials. In addition, by following the instructions in the Notice, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis.
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by e-mail will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by e-mail, you will receive an e-mail next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by e-mail will remain in effect until you terminate it.
Our 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders and this Proxy Statement are available at www.proxypush.com/RNGR.
Voting at the Annual Meeting
The Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), are the only classes of securities that entitle holders to vote generally at meetings of the Company’s stockholders. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date entitles the holder to one vote at the Annual Meeting. To participate, vote or submit questions, you will receive further instructions via email, including unique links to access the Annual Meeting and to submit questions in advance of the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting via live webcast.
If, on the Record Date, you hold shares of our Common Stock that are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. Mediant, Inc. (“Mediant”) is sending these proxy materials directly to you on our behalf. As a stockholder of record, you may vote virtually at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, you may vote by Internet by following the instructions on the Notice. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may also vote by signing and submitting your proxy card or by submitting your vote by telephone. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by way of the Internet, telephone or by completing and returning the proxy card you will receive upon request of printed materials. If you submit a proxy but do not give voting instructions as to how your shares should be voted on a particular proposal at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board stated in this Proxy Statement. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by: (1) delivering a written notice of revocation addressed to Ranger Energy Services, Inc., Attn: J. Brandon Blossman, 10350 Richmond Ave., Suite 550, Houston, Texas 77042, (2) a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, (3) voting again by Internet or telephone, or (4) attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually. Your last vote or proxy will be the vote or proxy that is counted. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you vote or specifically so request.
If, on the Record Date, you hold shares of our Common Stock in an account with a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are a beneficial owner of the shares and hold such shares in “street name,” and these proxy materials will be forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares held in their account, and the nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing how to vote your shares. The nominee that holds your shares, however, is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. Because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the Annual Meeting unless a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares as of the Record Date is obtained. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by following the voting instructions provided to you to ensure that your vote is counted.
2


If you are a beneficial owner and do not vote, and your broker, bank or other nominee does not have discretionary power to vote your shares, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal and generally occur because the broker (1) does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (2) lacks discretionary authority to vote the shares. Brokers and other nominees have discretionary authority to vote on ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm for clients who have not provided voting instructions. However, without voting instructions from their clients, they cannot vote on “non-routine” proposals, including the election of directors. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting. If you receive more than one Notice, it is because your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the instructions on each Notice received to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
A list of stockholders of record as of the Record Date will be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at our offices located at 10350 Richmond Ave., Suite 550, Houston, Texas 77042, for a period of ten days prior to the date of our Annual Meeting. You may also examine our stockholder list during the Annual Meeting by following instructions provided on the Annual Meeting website, which may be accessed at www.proxydocs.com/RNGR.
Quorum Requirement for the Annual Meeting
The presence at the Annual Meeting, whether virtually or by valid proxy, of the persons holding a majority of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum, permitting us to conduct our business at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 8,552,732 shares of Class A Common Stock and 6,866,154 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding, held by approximately 40 and four stockholders of record, respectively, which does not include shareholders whose shares are held in “street name.” Abstentions (i.e., if you or your broker mark “ABSTAIN” on a proxy or voting instruction form, or if a stockholder of record attends the Annual Meeting but does not vote (either before or during the Annual Meeting)) and broker non-votes will be considered to be shares present at the meeting for purposes of a quorum.
Required Votes
Election of Directors.    Each director will be elected by the vote of the plurality of the votes validly cast on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions are not taken into account in determining the outcome of the election of directors.
Ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.    Approval of the proposal to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of BDO as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Broker non-votes are not taken into account in determining the outcome of this proposal, and abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.
Solicitation of Proxies
Solicitation of proxies may be made via the Internet, mail, personal interview or telephone by officers, directors and regular employees of the Company. The Company may also request banking institutions, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock that those companies or persons hold of record, and the Company will reimburse the forwarding expenses. In addition, the Company has retained Mediant to provide various services relating to the solicitation of proxies, including webhosting, printing, mailing and tabulating votes, for an aggregate fee of approximately $30,000. The Company will bear all costs of solicitation.
Default Voting
A proxy that is properly completed and submitted will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. If you properly execute and submit a proxy, but do not provide any voting instructions, your shares will be voted FOR each of the director nominees listed in Proposal ONE and FOR Proposal TWO.
If any other business properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy. The Board of Directors knows of no matters, other than those previously stated, to be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors held seven meetings and its independent directors met in executive session seven times during 2020. During 2020, all of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the meetings of the committees of the Board of Directors on which each director served.
The Board of Directors have two standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee each expect to meet a minimum of four times per calendar year in 2021 and future years. The Compensation Committee expects to meet a minimum of once per calendar year in 2021 and future years.
Audit Committee.    The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Austin (Chairman), Kearney and Merrill A. Miller (“Miller”). The Audit Committee held four meetings during 2020. Additional information regarding the functions performed by the Audit Committee and its membership is set forth in the “Audit Committee Report” included herein and also in the “Audit Committee Charter” that is posted on the Company’s website at www.rangerenergy.com.
The Audit Committee oversees, reviews, acts and reports on various auditing and accounting matters to the Board of Directors, including: the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered accounting firm, the performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s accounting practices. In addition, the Audit Committee oversees the Company’s compliance programs relating to legal and regulatory requirements, and is responsible for overseeing the Company’s assessment and management of financial reporting and internal control risks, as well as other financial risks, such as the credit risks associated with counterparty exposure.
Compensation Committee.    The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Shivram (Chairman), R. Agee, Kearney and Miller. The Compensation Committee held one meeting during 2020. Additional information regarding the functions performed by the Compensation Committee and its membership is set forth in the “Compensation Committee Charter” that is posted on the Company’s website at www.rangerenergy.com.
While we are not currently required to do so on account of our “controlled company” status within the meaning of New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance standards, the Board of Directors formed the Compensation Committee in 2018 to assist in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation of directors and executive officers, including salaries, bonuses and compensation plans, policies and programs of the Company and administers all plans of the Company under which shares of common stock may be acquired by directors or executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee has the authority to hire a compensation consultant to assist the committee in fulfilling its duties. In 2020, the Compensation Committee hired Longnecker & Associates to assist with setting executive compensation.
Because we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance standards, we are not required to, and do not currently expect to, have a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors under the standards set forth by the NYSE applicable to members of the Compensation Committee. If and when we are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance standards, we may be required to make changes to the composition of our Compensation Committee so that it is comprised entirely of independent directors.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    Because we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we are not required to, and do not currently, have a nominating and corporate governance committee.
If and when we are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will be required to establish a nominating and corporate governance committee. We anticipate that such a nominating and corporate governance committee would consist of three directors who will be “independent” under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. This committee would identify, evaluate and recommend qualified nominees to serve on our Board of Directors, develop and oversee our internal corporate governance processes and maintain a management succession plan. Upon formation of a nominating and corporate governance committee, we would expect to adopt a nominating and corporate governance committee charter defining the committee’s primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and the NYSE or market standards.

The actual number of Performance Stock Units that are earned will be determined in a Board meeting subsequent to the end of each respective performance period based on our total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder return of each member of a predefined peer group as described further under “—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Performance Stock Units.”
Additional Narrative Disclosures
Base Salary
Each NEO’s base salary is a fixed component of compensation that does not vary depending on the level of performance achieved. Base salaries are determined for each NEO based on his or her position and responsibility. Pursuant to the employment agreements we maintain with our NEOs, each NEO’s base salary may be increased but not decreased except in connection with a reduction of up to 10% that applies to all similarly situated employees that is necessary to allow us to avoid violating one or more financial covenants contained in loan agreements or similar financing arrangements. Our Compensation Committee reviews the base salaries for each NEO annually as well as at the time of any promotion or significant change in job responsibilities and in connection with each review, our Board of Directors considers individual and company performance over the course of the applicable year.
During 2020, the Company initiated cost reductions throughout the organization, including salary reductions for each of the NEOs. Prior to such salary reductions, our NEOs had the following annualized base salaries: (i) Mr. Anderson—$500,000, (ii) Mr. Blossman—$300,000 and (iii) Mr. Hernandez—$230,000. Following the implementation of such salary reductions in
10


April 2020, our NEOs had the following annualized base salaries: (i) Mr. Anderson—$425,000, (ii) Mr. Blossman—$255,000 and (iii) Mr. Hernandez—$195,500.
Cash Bonuses
We do not maintain a formal bonus program for our NEOs. However, our NEOs have historically been eligible to receive discretionary bonuses, based in part upon pre-established performance criteria, to recognize their significant contributions and aid in our retention efforts. Our Compensation Committee determines whether each NEO is eligible to receive a cash bonus for a given year and sets the amount of such cash bonus.
Our NEOs received one-time discretionary bonuses in 2020 in the following amounts: (i) Mr. Anderson—$199,527, (ii) Mr. Blossman—$80,608 and (iii) Mr. Hernandez—$57,045.
Incentive Units
In 2017, Mr. Anderson received Ranger Holdings Incentive Units granted pursuant to the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement. In connection with our initial public offering (“IPO”), certain of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units held by Mr. Anderson were exchanged for substantially similar incentive units in Ranger Energy Holdings II, LLC (“Ranger Holdings II”). The Ranger Holdings II Incentive Units are subject to the same tiered distribution thresholds, vesting conditions and forfeiture and repurchase terms as the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units originally granted to Mr. Anderson. As such, the following discussion generally applies equally to the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Ranger Holdings II Incentive Units held by Mr. Anderson.
The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Ranger Holdings II Incentive Units are intended to constitute “profits interests” and represent actual (non-voting) equity interests that have no liquidation value for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of grant but are designed to gain value only after the underlying assets realize a certain level of growth and return to those persons who hold certain other classes of equity. The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Ranger Holdings II Incentive Units are divided into two classes, Class C and Class D units, and each class has a separate distribution threshold. A potential payout for each class will occur when a specified level of cumulative cash distributions is received by the members holding capital interests in Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II. All Class C and Class D units granted to Mr. Anderson were subject to time-based vesting and such Class C and Class D Units became fully vested on February 1, 2020.
In the event of a termination of employment, Ranger Holdings has the right to purchase Class C and Class D units (whether vested or not) for (a) in the case of a resignation by Mr. Anderson without good reason or a termination of employment for cause, the lesser of $100 and the fair market value of the Class C or Class D units or (b) in the case of any other termination, the fair market value of the Class C or Class D units.
The Class C units and the Class D units will generally be entitled to 15% and 5% of future distributions, respectively, to members of Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II only after all of the members that have made capital contributions to Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to their cumulative capital contributions plus additional cumulative distributions equal to a return on equity investment computed like interest at the rate per fiscal year equal to 8% cumulative and compounded annually, accruing beginning on the effective date of the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement or the limited liability company agreement of Ranger Holdings II (as amended from time to time, the “Ranger Holdings II LLC Agreement”), on the unpaid sum of such members’ capital return account; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no distributions will be made with respect to the Class D units until all of the members of Ranger Holdings that have made capital contributions to Ranger Holdings have also received additional cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to two times their cumulative capital contributions.
A “Change of Control” is generally defined in an applicable award agreement as (i) the date any one person or group (excluding CSL and its affiliates) acquires ownership of securities of Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II representing more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II, (ii) any consolidation or merger involving Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II in which the members of Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II immediately prior to such consolidation or merger do not beneficially own securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or continuing entity or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II.
Because we are not a party to the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement or the Ranger Holdings II LLC Agreement, we cannot be certain that the terms of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and the Ranger Holdings II Incentive Units as described above will remain the same in the future.

Performance Stock Units
    PSUs were granted under the LTIP to each of Messrs. Anderson and Blossman during calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020 and Mr. Hernandez during the calendar years 2019 and 2020. In each year, the target value of the PSU grants to each of the NEOs was approximately 50% of each officer’s total LTIP award.
    Each PSU represents one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and is earned based on performance over a three-year performance cycle, which ended on December 31, 2020 for the PSUs granted in calendar year 2018 (the “2018 PSUs), ends on March 31, 2022 for the PSUs granted in the calendar year 2019 (the “2019 PSUs”) and ends on March 11, 2023 for the PSUs granted in the calendar year 2020 (the “2020 PSUs”). Upon completion of the three-year performance cycle, the Board of Directors will determine final payout levels, and Class A Common Stock will be distributed to each of the NEOs. On March 12, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors determined the final payout level for the 2018 PSUs and approved 23,984 shares and 5,503 shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to Messrs. Anderson and Blossman, respectively. Performance is determined by the relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of the Company in comparison to the applicable Peer Group and the absolute TSR of the Company. Each of the two performance measures, absolute TSR and relative TSR, are weighted equally in determining the earned award, with maximum performance in both measures resulting in an earned award of 200% of target.
    The Peer Groups to which the Company’s relative TSR performance will be compared for the each of the awards are as follows:
With respect to the 2018 PSUs, the Peer Group includes: Dril-Quip, Inc., Basic Energy Services, Key Energy Services, Inc., Parker Drilling Company, Select Energy Services, Inc., Pioneer Energy Services, Inc., Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., Flotek Industries, Inc., Nabors Industries Ltd., C&J Energy Services, Inc. and Independence Contract Drilling, Inc.
With respect to the 2019 PSUs, the Peer Group includes: Nine Energy Services, Inc., Basic Energy Services, Key Energy Services, Inc., Parker Drilling Company, Select Energy Services, Inc., Pioneer Energy Services, Inc., Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., Flotek Industries, Inc. and Independence Contract Drilling, Inc.
With respect to the 2020 PSUs, the Peer Group includes: Nine Energy Services, Inc., Mammoth Energy Services, Inc., Flotek Industries, Inc., Independence Contract Drilling, Inc., KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc., NexTier Oilfield Solutions, Inc., Patterson-UTI Energy, Inc., Quintana Energy Services, Inc., Select Energy Services, Inc.
    Threshold performance, with respect to absolute TSR, is stock price growth of 10% above the base price of $14.50, $7.80 and $4.29 for the 2018, 2019 and 2020 PSU awards, respectively, at which 25% of the target award tied to this measure is earned. Stock price growth below the 10% results in no award being earned with respect to absolute TSR. Threshold performance, with respect to relative TSR, is total TSR at or above the 30th percentile of the Peer Group, at which 50% of the target award tied to this measure is earned. Performance ranking at or below the 20th percentile results in no award being earned with respect to the relative TSR. With respect to the relative TSR, if there is a 15% decline in stock price compared to the grant date value, then the maximum payout is the target level of 100% regardless of relative rank.
    Target performance, with respect to absolute TSR, is stock price growth of 50% above the base price, at which 100% of the target award tied to this measure is earned. Target performance, with respect to relative TSR, is total TSR at or above the 50th percentile of the Peer Group, at which 100% of the target award tied to this measure is earned.
    Maximum performance with respect to absolute TSR, is stock price growth of 75% above the base price, at which 200% of the target award tied to this measure is earned. Maximum performance, with respect to relative TSR, is total TSR at or above the 100th percentile of the Peer Group, at which 200% of the target award tied to this measure is earned.
    In the event of a change in control during the performance cycle followed by an NEO’s termination of employment without cause within two years following such change in control (and during the performance cycle), all unvested PSUs become fully vested at the target level. If an NEO experiences a termination of employment due to death or disability during the performance cycle, all unvested PSUs are forfeited.
Restricted Stock
    Restricted Stock was granted to each of our NEOs during the calendar years 2018, 2019 and 2020 under the LTIP. In each year, the target value of the Restricted Stock awards to each of the NEOs was approximately 50% of each officer’s total LTIP award. Each Restricted Stock award represents one share, are subject to time-based vesting and are contingent upon continued service with the Company. The Restricted Stock will generally vest in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the applicable date of grant.
12


    If an NEO’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock that would have vested on or before the first anniversary of the applicable date of termination (assuming that the NEO remained employed) immediately become vested. If an NEO experiences a termination of employment due to death or disability, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock become fully vested. If an NEO is terminated for any other reason, all unvested shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited.
Other Benefits
We offer participation in broad-based retirement, health and welfare plans to all of our employees. We maintain a plan intended to provide benefits under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “401(k) Plan”), where employees were allowed to contribute portions of their base compensation into a retirement account in order to encourage all employees, including any participating NEOs, to save for the future.
Employment, Severance or Change in Control Agreements
Employment Agreements
We currently maintain employment agreements with Messrs. Anderson, Blossman and Hernandez. Each employment agreement generally provides for an initial two-year (in the case of Mr. Blossman and Mr. Hernandez) or three-year (in the case of Mr. Anderson) term with automatic renewals for additional consecutive one-year periods, unless either party elects not to renew. Each employment agreement generally provides for an annualized base salary, as described above under “—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Base Salary,” and eligibility to participate in all benefit plans and programs. Each employment agreement also provides that our NEOs are eligible to receive annual bonuses based on company and individual performance metrics established by the Board of Directors, as described above under “—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Cash Bonuses.” Mr. Anderson’s employment agreement also provided for the following grant of Ranger Holdings Incentive Units, as described above under “—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Incentive Units,” which grants were made in 2017: 100,000 Class C units and 200,000 Class D units.
Each employment agreement provides for the following benefits upon a NEOs termination of employment by the employer without “Cause,” as defined in the respective employment agreement: (i) for Mr. Anderson, (a) accrued base salary and earned but unpaid annual bonus (the “Accrued Benefits”) and (b) either (1) if such termination occurs prior to the occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the employment agreement), continued payment of his base salary through the first to occur of the expiration of the employment period or 12 months from the date of termination or (2) if such termination occurs on or after the occurrence of a Change of Control, continued payment of his base salary through the first to occur of the expiration of the employment period or 24 months from the date of termination; and (ii) for Mr. Blossman and Mr. Hernandez, (a) the Accrued Benefits, (b) continued payments of his base salary for six months and (c) extended health benefits shall continue at our expense for 12 months. Upon a resignation of employment by our NEOs for “Good Reason” (as defined in the applicable employment agreement), Messrs. Anderson, Blossman and Hernandez are entitled to the same payments due to them upon a termination without Cause.
If a NEOs employment is terminated for any reason other than those described above, no further compensation and benefits will be provided following the termination of the NEOs employment except for payment of the Accrued Benefits. The employment agreements also contain certain restrictive covenants, including provisions that generally prohibit our NEO from competing with or soliciting vendors, suppliers, customers or clients of us and our affiliates. These restrictions generally apply during the term of the NEOs employment and for a period between 18 months and two years following the termination of such employment.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During 2020, our last completed fiscal year, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that had an executive officer that served on our Board or our Compensation Committee and participated in deliberations of the Board or the Compensation Committee concerning executive officer compensation. Further, no member of our Board was an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

stockholder communications with directors; and
access to senior management and to independent advisors.
The Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on the Company’s website at www.rangerenergy.com. The Corporate Governance Guidelines will be reviewed periodically and any proposed additions to, or amendments of, the Corporate Governance Guidelines will be presented to the Board of Directors for its approval.
The NYSE has adopted rules that require listed companies to adopt governance guidelines covering certain matters. The Company believes that the Corporate Governance Guidelines comply with the NYSE rules.
Board Leadership
The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board understands that the optimal Board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant. Consistent with this understanding, non-management directors consider the Board’s leadership structure on an annual basis.
The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by two different individuals. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business and operations, while allowing our Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and oversight of management. The Chairman of the Board provides leadership to our Board of Directors and works with the Board of Directors to define its structure and activities in the fulfillment of its responsibilities.
Eight out of nine directors are independent under NYSE rules and six out of nine directors are independent under SEC regulations for Audit Committee members. By meeting in executive sessions on a regular basis, the eight independent directors have the opportunity to identify and evaluate issues facing us, engaging in a frank and candid dialogue without management being present. The Board reevaluates the efficacy of its leadership structure at least annually.
Identification of Director Candidates
    It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to identify, evaluate and recommend nominees for election at the annual meeting of stockholders, as well as to fill vacancies or additions on the Board of Directors that may occur between annual meetings. The Board of Directors endeavors to recommend only director candidates who possess the highest personal values and integrity; who have experience and have exhibited achievements in one or more of the key professional, business, financial, legal and other challenges that face a U.S. independent oil and gas company; who exhibit sound judgment, intelligence, personal character and the ability to make independent analytical inquiries; who demonstrate a willingness to devote adequate time to Board of Director duties; and who are likely to be able to serve on the Board of Directors for a sustained period.
17


While the Board of Directors does not have a formal policy on diversity, it endeavors to achieve an overall balance of diversity of experiences, skills, attributes and viewpoints among our directors. The Board of Directors believes it has achieved that balance through the representation on the Board of Directors of members having experience in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries, accounting and investment analysis, and legal and corporate governance, among other areas. The Board of Directors does not discriminate based upon race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, citizenship or any other legally protected status.
In identifying potential director candidates, the Board of Directors solicits recommendations from existing directors and senior management, to be considered by the Board of Directors along with any recommendations that have been received from stockholders as discussed in more detail below. The Board of Directors may also, in its discretion, retain, and pay fees to, a search firm to provide additional candidates.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders or other interested parties can contact any director, any committee of the Board or our non-management directors as a group, by writing to them c/o J. Brandon Blossman, Ranger Energy Services, Inc., 10350 Richmond Ave., Suite 550, Houston, Texas 77042. Comments or complaints relating to the Company’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters will also be referred to members of the Audit Committee. All such communications will be forwarded to the appropriate member(s) of the Board.
Director Independence
The Company’s standards for determining director independence require the assessment of directors’ independence each year. A director cannot be considered independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that he or she does not have any relationship with management or the Company that may interfere with the exercise of his or her independent judgment, including any of the relationships that would disqualify the director from being independent under the rules of the NYSE.
The Board of Directors has assessed the independence of each non-employee director under the Company’s guidelines and the independence standards of the NYSE. The Board of Directors affirmatively determined that each of Messrs. B. Agee, R. Agee, Austin, Cimador, Dunn, Kearney, Leykum and Shivram are independent.
In connection with its assessment of the independence of each non-employee director, the Board of Directors also determined that each of Messrs. B. Agee, R. Agee, Austin, Dunn, Kearney and Shivram are independent as defined in Section 10A of the Exchange Act and under the standards set forth by the NYSE applicable to members of the Audit Committee.
Financial Literacy of Audit Committee and Designation of Financial Experts
The Board of Directors evaluated each of the members of the Audit Committee for financial literacy and the attributes of a financial expert. The Board of Directors determined that each of the Audit Committee members is financially literate and that each satisfy the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.
Oversight of Risk Management
The Board of Directors as a whole oversees the Company’s assessment of major risks and the measures taken to manage such risks. For example, the Board of Directors:
oversees the long-term strategic plans of the Company and assesses risks and efforts to mitigate such risks that would cause the Company to fail to achieve its strategic goals;
reviews management’s capital spending plans, approves the Company’s capital budget and requires that management present for Board review significant departures from those plans;
oversees management of the Company’s indirect exposure to commodity price fluctuations through regular review with executive management;
monitors the Company’s liquidity profile and its compliance with the financial covenants contained in its borrowing arrangements; and
has established specific dollar limits on the commitment authority of members of senior management for certain transactions and requires Board approval of expenditures exceeding that authority and of other material contracts and transactions.
18


The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s assessment and management of financial reporting and internal control risks, as well as other financial risks, such as the credit risks associated with counterparty exposure. The Audit Committee is responsible for discussing with management the Company’s significant financial risk exposures and the actions management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm report regularly to the Audit Committee on those subjects.
    The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company’s overall compensation programs and policies for employees as they relate to risk management and risk taking initiatives.
Attendance at Annual Meetings
The Board of Directors encourages all directors to attend the annual meetings of stockholders, if practicable. We anticipate that substantially all of our directors will attend the 2021 Annual Meeting.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
Policies and Procedures for Review of Related Party Transactions
A “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we or any of our subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A “Related Person” means:
any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our executive officers or one of our directors;
any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities;
any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock; and
any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest.
Our Board of Directors adopted a written Related Party Transactions policy prior to the completion of our IPO. Pursuant to this policy, our Audit Committee has and will continue to review all material facts of all Related Party Transactions and either approve or disapprove entry into the Related Party Transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions. In determining whether to approve or disapprove entry into a Related Party Transaction, our Audit Committee takes into account, among other factors, the following: (i) whether the Related Party Transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances, (ii) the benefits of the transaction to the Company and the Related Person, (iii) the extent of the Related Person’s interest in the transaction, (iv) the nature of the interest of the Related Person and (v) whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest. Further, the policy requires that all Related Party Transactions required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC be so disclosed in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
There have been no Related Party Transactions since our IPO, where the procedures described above did not require review, approval or ratification or where these procedures were not followed. In addition, since January 1, 2020, there have not been any transactions or series of similar transactions to which the Company was or is a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any of the Company’s directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of its voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers, which are described in “Executive Compensation” above and the transactions described or referred to below.
Fortitude Management Group
We leased our corporate headquarters from Fortitude Management Group, an entity majority-owned by Richard E. Agee, pursuant to a sub-lease agreement with a term through November 30, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we paid a total of $695,085 in rent to Fortitude Management Group.
Redemption Rights
Under the Ranger LLC Agreement, the Ranger Unit Holders (other than the Company) subject to certain limitations, have the right, pursuant to the Redemption Right (as defined in the Ranger LLC Agreement), to cause Ranger LLC to acquire all or a portion of their Ranger Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of our Class B Common Stock) for, at Ranger LLC’s election, (i) shares of our Class A Common Stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A Common Stock for each Ranger Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A Common Stock. We will determine whether to issue shares of Class A Common Stock or cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value based on facts in existence at the time of the decision, which we expect would include the trading prices for the Class A Common Stock at the time relative to the cash purchase price for the Ranger Units, the availability of other sources of liquidity (such as an issuance of preferred stock) to acquire the Ranger Units and alternative uses for such cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, we (instead of Ranger LLC) have the right, pursuant to the Call Right (as defined in the Ranger LLC Agreement), to, for administrative convenience, acquire each tendered Ranger Unit (along with a corresponding share of our Class B Common Stock) directly from such Ranger Unit Holder for, at our election, (x) one share of Class A Common Stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A Common Stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In
22


addition, upon a change of control of us, we have the right to require each Ranger Unit Holder (other than us) to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder’s Ranger Units. As the Ranger Unit Holders redeem their Ranger Units (along with a corresponding share of our Class B Common Stock), our membership interest in Ranger LLC will be correspondingly increased, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding will be increased, and the number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding will be reduced.
“Cash Election Value” means, with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder by us pursuant to our Call Right, the amount that would be received if the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder would otherwise be entitled were sold at a per share price equal to the trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of a share of Class A Common Stock on such redemption, net of actual or deemed offering expenses.
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the IPO, we entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with certain of the Ranger Unit Holders (the “TRA Holders”), including Ranger Holdings, Torrent Holdings, CSL Opportunities II and Bayou Holdings. This agreement generally provides for the payment by us to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that we actually realize (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with the IPO by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its Ranger Units to us in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the redemption by such TRA Holder of Ranger Units for shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Certain of the TRA Holders’ rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are transferable in connection with a permitted transfer of Ranger Units or if the TRA Holder no longer holds Ranger Units. The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our obligations and not obligations of Ranger LLC, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement commenced upon the completion of the IPO and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement (or the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated due to other circumstances, including our breach of a material obligation thereunder or certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other changes of control).
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the IPO, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Ranger Holdings, Ranger Holdings II, Torrent Holdings and Torrent Energy Holdings II, LLC (together the “Existing Owners”) and the Bridge Loan Lenders (as defined herein). The Registration Rights Agreement contains provisions by which we agree to register under the federal securities laws the offer and resale of shares of our Class A Common Stock by the Existing Owners and the Bridge Loan Lenders or certain of their affiliates or permitted transferees under the Registration Rights Agreement. These registration rights will be subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will generally be obligated to pay all registration expenses in connection with these registration obligations, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective.
Stockholders’ Agreement
In connection with the IPO, we entered into a stockholders’ agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) with the Existing Owners and the Bridge Loan Lenders. Among other things, the Stockholders’ Agreement provides CSL and Bayou Holdings with the right to designate nominees to our board of directors (each, as applicable, a “CSL Director” or “Bayou Director”) as follows:
for so long as CSL beneficially owns at least 50% of our Common Stock, at least three members of the Board of Directors shall be CSL Directors and at least two members of the Board of Directors shall be Bayou Directors (which may include Richard Agee, Brett Agee or any other person that may be designated by Bayou Holdings in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement);
for so long as CSL beneficially owns less than 50% but at least 30% of our Common Stock, at least three members of the Board of Directors shall be CSL Directors;
for so long as CSL beneficially owns less than 30% but at least 20% of our Common Stock, at least two members of the Board of Directors shall be CSL Directors;
23


for so long as CSL beneficially owns less than 20% but at least 10% of our Common Stock, at least one member of the Board of Directors shall be a CSL Director; and
once CSL beneficially owns less than 10% of our Common Stock, CSL will not have any Board designation rights.
In the event the size of our Board of Directors is increased or decreased at any time to other than eight directors, CSL’s nomination rights will be proportionately increased or decreased, respectively, rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement we, the Existing Owners and the Bridge Loan Lenders will be required to take all necessary actions, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including with respect to any fiduciary duties under Delaware law), to cause the election of the nominees of such CSL Directors.
In addition, the Stockholders’ Agreement provides that for so long as CSL beneficially owns at least 30% of our Common Stock, CSL will have the right to cause any committee of our Board of Directors to include in its membership at least one director designated by CSL, except to the extent that such membership would violate applicable securities laws or stock exchange rules. The rights granted to CSL to designate directors are additive to and not intended to limit in any way the rights that CSL may have to nominate, elect or remove our directors under our certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Further, the Stockholders’ Agreement contains provisions relating to the transfer of our Common Stock or Ranger Units by the Existing Owners. Specifically, any transfer of our Common Stock or Ranger Units by either Ranger Holdings or Ranger Holdings II requires the approval of each of such Existing Owners; provided, however, that any such transfer by Ranger Holdings II made without a corresponding transfer by Ranger Holdings, with the amounts of such corresponding transfers in proportion to such Existing Owners’ aggregate ownership of shares of our Common Stock, shall require the further prior written approval of Bayou Holdings. Any transfer of our Common Stock or Ranger Units by either Torrent Holdings or Torrent Holdings II requires the approval of each of such Existing Owners, but does not require the approval of Bayou Holdings.

PROPOSAL TWO—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed BDO as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. The audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, was completed by BDO on February 26, 2021.
The Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of BDO for ratification at the Annual Meeting. The submission of this matter for approval by stockholders is not legally required, but the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe the submission provides an opportunity for stockholders, through their vote, to communicate with the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee about an important aspect of corporate governance. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of BDO, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment of that firm as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to retain, evaluate and replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The stockholders’ ratification of the appointment of BDO does not limit the authority of the Audit Committee to change independent registered public accounting firms at any time.
Audit and Other Fees
The table below presents the aggregate fees billed by BDO, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, for services provided in the last two fiscal years (in thousands):

Audit Fees(1)
$575.6 $769.8 
Tax Fees— 45.9 
Total$575.6 $815.7

The charter of the Audit Committee and its pre-approval policy require that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve the plan and scope of BDO’s audit, audit-related, tax and other services. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Audit Committee pre-approved the audit services described above.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The information contained in this Audit Committee Report and references in this Proxy Statement to the independence of the Audit Committee members shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference in such filing.
The Audit Committee is a separately designated standing committee of the Board established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and operates under a written charter adopted as of August 9, 2017, which is reviewed annually.
Management is responsible for our system of internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and (iii) the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management and the independent registered public accounting firm the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles applied, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
Our independent registered public accounting firm also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm that firm’s independence.
Based on the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC.
