Shareholders' Equity
Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity
Capital Stock
Prior to the Lonestar Acquisition, the Company’s authorized capital stock consisted of 115,000,000 shares including (i) 110,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
On October 6, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Lonestar Acquisition, the Company effected a recapitalization, pursuant to which (i) the Company’s common stock was renamed and reclassified as Class A Common Stock, (ii) the authorized number of shares of capital stock of the Company was increased to 145,000,000 shares, (iii) 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock was authorized, (iv) all 225,489.98 outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were exchanged for 22,548,998 newly issued shares of Class B Common Stock, and (v) the designation of the Series A Preferred Stock was cancelled.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had two classes of common stock: Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The holders of record of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters on which holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote; except that certain directors are elected by holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock voting as a separate class.
The holders of Class A Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class A Common Stock are not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions and are not convertible into any of the Company’s other securities. In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Class A Common Stock will share equally in the assets remaining after it pays its creditors and preferred shareholders. Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Board of Directors.
Shares of Class B Common Stock are non-economic interests in the Company, and no dividends can be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock. Shares of Class B common stock are not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions. In the event of the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment or provision for payment of its debts and other liabilities, the holders of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive, out of its assets or proceeds thereof available for distribution to our shareholders, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Class A Common Stock and any other of the Company’s stock ranking junior to the Class B Common Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to $0.01 per share of Class B Common Stock. With the exception of the aforementioned distribution, the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive any of the Company’s assets in the event of its voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
The Company’s Class B Common Stock is not convertible into any of the Company’s other securities. However, if a holder exchanges one common unit of the Partnership, for one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, it must also surrender to the Company a share of its Class B Common Stock for each common unit exchanged.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had (i) 110,000,000 authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and 19,422,156 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, (ii) 30,000,000 authorized shares of Class B Common Stock and 22,548,998 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, and (iii) 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.
Dividends
On July 7, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.075 per share of Class A Common Stock. The dividend was paid on August 4, 2022 to holders of record of Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on July 25, 2022. In connection with any dividend, Ranger’s operating subsidiary will also make a corresponding distribution to its common unitholders. During the third quarter of 2022, the dividend to the holders of our Class A Common Stock and distribution to common unitholders totaled $3.2 million in the aggregate. The Company’s Credit Facility and the Indenture have restrictive covenants that limit its ability to pay dividends. See Note 15 for details on dividends declared subsequent to September 30, 2022.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 13, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding Class A Common Stock. The share repurchase authorization was effective immediately and was valid through March 31, 2023. On July 7, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an increase in the share repurchase program from $100 million to $140 million and extended the term of the program through June 30, 2023.
The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. The Company intends to continue to fund repurchases from available working capital and cash provided by operating activities. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including among other things, our earnings, liquidity, capital requirements, financial condition, management’s assessment of the intrinsic value of the Class A Common Stock, the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements and other factors deemed relevant. The exact number of shares to be repurchased by the Company is not guaranteed, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law and imposes a 1% excise tax on the repurchase of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations. The excise tax is effective for stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impacts, if any, of this provision to our results of operations and cash flows.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 1,074,960 and 1,755,836 shares of our Class A Common Stock at a total cost of $35.0 million and $60.0 million at average purchase prices of $32.58 and $34.19, respectively. The share repurchases were recorded to Class A common stock and Paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the share repurchase program was $80.0 million.
Change in Ownership of Consolidated Subsidiaries
As discussed above and in Note 13, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased shares of our Class A Common Stock and issued shares of our Class A Common Stock related to the vesting of employees’ share-based compensation resulting in a change in the proportionate share of Common Units held by the Company relative to Juniper. As such, we recognized an adjustment to the carrying amount of noncontrolling interest and a corresponding adjustment to Class A Common Shareholders’ equity of $7.1 million and $13.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to reflect the revised ownership percentage of total equity, respectively.
The following table summarizes changes in the ownership interest in consolidated subsidiaries during the period:

1     The three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes a net transfer of $7.1 million and $13.6 million, respectively, from Noncontrolling interest for share repurchases and common stock issuances related to employees’ share-based compensation with a corresponding adjustment to Paid-in capital. This equity adjustment had no impact on earnings other than a resulting increase to the noncontrolling interest proportionate share of net income and a corresponding decrease to the proportionate share of net income attributable to common shareholders.
