**Dear Fellow Stockholders,**

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board"), we are pleased to invite you to participate in Range Resources' 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our annual meeting will be held telephonically, commencing at 8:00 a.m., Central Time, on Wednesday, May 10, 2023. To access the event you will need to register virtually at https://ir.rangeresources.com/events/event-details/2023-annual-meeting-stockholders. The attached Notice of 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement provide information about the business we plan to conduct.

In 2022, we successfully executed our strategy and achieved strong operational performance. Consistent with our core values, we are proud of our employees for their commitment to keeping our workplace and the communities where we operate safe. Our strategy has been, and continues to be, enhancing cash flow through operational efficiencies while improving financial strength. We are particularly proud of our return of capital program in 2022 including executing approximately $400 million of share repurchases and a reinstatement of our quarterly dividend. During the year, we also made significant progress in strengthening our balance sheet, including repaying $1.1 billion of debt. We generated a record operating cash flow of $1.9 billion in 2022.

As we continue to execute our strategy, we are guided by our longstanding commitment to sustainability, which we believe can only be successful with additional natural gas development. Our industry will be instrumental in enhancing quality of life and we believe our products will continue to make up a significant portion of the world's energy mix even as we transition to a lower carbon future.

**2022 Highlights**

• Record cash flow from operations;

• Record net income;

• Continued focus on our safety performance;

• Realized a significant improvement in debt metrics compared to year-end 2021;

• Focused on returning free cash flow to stockholders;

• Reduced our total debt along with reducing our cost of debt with the issuance of new 4.75% senior notes due 2030; and

• Published our 2021-2022 corporate sustainability report where we shared additional direct emissions data.

**CEO Retirement**

On March 16, 2023, after a successful career with Range spanning almost 20 years, including over 17 years as a member of the Board of Directors, we announced Jeff Ventura intends to retire effective June 2, 2023. Jeff's vision and technical skills were instrumental in unlocking the Marcellus Shale, which has become the largest natural gas field in the world. He and the team grew Range production from ~150 Mmcfe per day in 2003 to now more than 2,100 Mmcfe per day while growing proved reserves from less than 1.0 Tcfe to over 18 Tcfe. The Board is grateful for his outstanding leadership and looks forward to continuing to build upon the enduring, impactful organization he and the team have created.

Engagement remains important to our Board and management as a means to solicit feedback and to ensure accountability and responsiveness to our various stakeholders. During the fall of 2022, management and the Board met with a broad range of investors to discuss, among other things, corporate governance, our executive compensation program and sustainability. I personally met with those who accepted our invitation and was accompanied by the Chair of our Compensation Committee and the Chair of our ESG & Safety Committee. Stockholder feedback is communicated to the full Board and will continue to inform our viewpoints and decisions.

On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank all of our stockholders for your ongoing support and investment in Range. We are proud of our employees for their many accomplishments and grateful for the counsel and guidance of our directors. We look forward to your vote at the Annual Meeting.

Sincerely yours,

**STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT IN FALL 2022 AND EARLY 2023**

**WE CONTACTED STOCKHOLDERS REPRESENTING OVER:**![](im1636469574x648499331.jpg)

The Board values our stockholders' perspectives and feedback and we are committed to a robust stockholder engagement program. These meetings are designed to better understand how our stockholders perceive Range and to provide our investors an opportunity to discuss matters they believe deserve attention. We solicit feedback from institutional investors including asset managers and the proxy advisory firms. A cross functional team from management, along with one or more of our independent directors met with those investors that accepted our invitation. For this engagment cycle, the majority of stockholders we contacted responded that they did not seek to engage at this time or did not respond to our request. Several of these holders have engaged with us and provided feedback in prior rounds of engagement. We participated in discussions with stockholders that agreed to engage with us.

In most cases, investors supported recent changes made to our executive compensation program including adding or replacing new metrics that reflect our focus on areas such as safety, environmental leadership, balance sheet strength and generating competitive returns. General compensation decisions based on feedback from our stockholders include:

• CEO base salary held constant from 2015 through 2021; followed by a 3% increase in early 2022;

• In 2021, changed vesting of restricted stock grants to cliff vest at the end of three years;

• Annual Cash Incentive metrics continue to evolve to focus on key financial, operational and EHS performance goals; and

• Long-Term Incentive performance metrics adjusted to further focus on environmental leadership and the long-term interests of our stockholders.

##### Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Our investors are interested in how we approach sustainable business practices and how we integrate sustainability into our business objectives and corporate culture. In our annual board outreach, we reviewed topics from our 2021 - 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report, which is available on our company website. We believe our focus on sustainability creates value for our stockholders and helps position us to continuously improve business performance. We remain focused on our direct emissions through continued emissions reduction efforts, including evaluation and implementation of new technology and engineering solutions along with appropriate carbon offsets. Highlights from our 2021 - 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report are summarized below:

### Board Refreshment
The Governance and Nominating Committee regularly evaluates the size and composition of the Board and continually assesses whether the composition appropriately relates to our strategic needs which change as our business environment evolves. The Governance and Nominating Committee believes that annual board evaluations are a critical tool in assessing the effectiveness of the Board, its committee and its directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers the format of this evaluation process annually which, in recent years, has included anonymous questionnaires, one-on-one director interviews and the assistance of outside legal counsel. When conducting its review of the appropriate skills and qualifications of desired directors, the Governance and Nominating Committee considers diversity of skills, gender, age, ethnicity and any other self-disclosed factors. The Board balances an interest in continuity with the need for fresh perspectives and diversity that board refreshment and director succession planning can provide. On March 16, 2023, Mr. Ventura announced his retirement as President and Chief Executive Officer effective May 10, 2023. Mr. Ventura is not a nominee for re-election to the Board and will continue to serve as CEO and a director until May 10, 2023. Mr. Dennis L. Degner, our Chief Operating Officer, has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, to be effective at the Annual Meeting on May 10, 2023.

The lack of a mark for a particular item does not mean the director does not possess that qualification, skill or experience. We look to each director to be knowledgeable in these areas; however, the mark indicates the item is a particularly prominent qualification, characteristic, skill, or experience that the director brings to the Board.

The Board considers the following competencies when evaluating director nominees and board composition as a whole. The Board believes that a mix of these skills and qualifications provides the composition necessary to effectively oversee the Company's execution of its strategy.

***CEO/Senior Officer experience.*** We believe individuals with CEO experience have valuable insight and a practical understanding of organizations, processes, strategy and risk management. Through service as top leaders at other organizations, directors with CEO or senior officer experience bring valued perspectives on common issues affecting publicly traded companies such as Range.

***Industry experience.*** We believe that experience as an executive, director or other leadership position in the energy industry is an important consideration for service on the Board. Individuals with specific industry experience bring pertinent background and knowledge to the Board, providing valuable perspective on issues specific to the Company's business.

***Financial Reporting/Finance/Banking experience.*** The Company measures its operating and strategic performance by reference to financial targets. In addition, accurate financial reporting and robust auditing are critical to the Company's success. As a result, we believe it is important that directors have finance and financial reporting experience. We seek to have multiple directors who qualify as audit committee financial experts. In

**RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION** - *2023 Proxy Statement*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7**

------

[Back to Contents](#_TOC)

addition, we also believe it is important to have knowledge in capital markets, both debt and equity. We also expect all of our directors to be financially knowledgeable.

***Engineering/Geoscience experience.*** We believe that experience in these particular areas enables valuable perspectives on our operations and issues specific to our business. Individuals with an understanding in these areas bring background and experience to their duties that increase their effectiveness.

***Technology.*** Experience in information technology helps us pursue and achieve our business objectives. Leadership and understanding of areas such as cybersecurity risk, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and other areas of technology add exceptional value to our Board.

***Risk Management experience.*** We seek individuals with experience managing risk to ensure that directors are capable of fulfilling their risk oversight responsibilities, bringing background and experience to their duties that increase their effectiveness.

***Environmental, Health, Safety and Sustainability experience.*** We believe experience in these areas contributes to the Board's oversight and understanding of EHS and sustainability issues and their relationship to our business and strategy.

### 2022 Business Highlights
In 2022, Range continued our focus on delivering on financial and operational objectives that are within our control such as generating free cash flow through controlling costs and operational efficiencies, driving safe and environmentally sound results, strengthening our balance sheet and returning capital to our stockholders through a combination of a dividend and our share repurchase program. During 2022, we met and exceeded goals in focus areas including:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Record Cash Flow**<br>**$1.9 billion**<br>Delivered strong cash flow from operating activities for full year 2022. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Returned Capital to Stockholders**<br>**$439 million**<br>Returned capital to stockholders through dividends and targeted share repurchases. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Strengthened our Balance** <br>**Sheet**<br>**$1.9 billion net debt**<br>We have liquidity of $1.2 billion with cash balance and an undrawn credit facility as of December 31, 2022. Reduced cost of debt with issuance of new 4.75% senior notes. |

---

### ESG Focus
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Doubled our leak detection inspections from four to eight times per year;<br>• Continued to recycle approximately 100% of our own produced water;<br>• Pilot tested the use of compressed air pneumatic controllers; <br>• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.11 DART (Days Away, Restricted or Transferred) compared to 0.23 in the prior year;<br>• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0.46 TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate) compared to 1.04 in the prior year; and <br>• Continued utilizing an electric hydraulic fracturing fleet along with dual fuel drilling rigs.<br>

#### Corporate Culture and Human Capital Management
We believe our employees provide the foundation of our success. Successful execution of our strategy is dependent on attracting, developing and retaining our skilled employees and members of our management team. The abilities, experience and industry knowledge of our employees significantly benefit our operations and performance and in order to maximize the contributions of our employees, we regularly evaluate, modify and enhance our policies and practices, including compensation to increase employee engagement, productivity and efficiency.

**RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION** - *2023 Proxy Statement*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8**

[Back to Contents](#_TOC)

**Compensation and Benefits.** We review compensation for all employees at least annually to adjust for market conditions and to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce. We encourage our employees to take full advantage of the benefits and programs we offer. In addition to competitive base wages, other benefits include an annual cash bonus plan, long-term equity incentive plan, company-match 401(k) plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, flexible spending accounts and employee assistance programs.

Our compensation program includes eligibility for all full-time employees to receive equity awards which we believe is somewhat unique among our peers and encourages every employee to think like an owner of the business and be vested in its success. We believe these practices, and those further described below, are the key drivers in our very low voluntary turnover rates, which averaged less than 4.5% over the five-year period ending December 31, 2022.

**Health and Safety.** We believe health and safety is a core value and engrained in all aspects of our business. This value is reflected in our strong safety culture that emphasizes personal responsibility and safety leadership both for our employees and our contractors on our worksites. Our comprehensive environmental, health and safety (EHS) management system establishes a corporate governance framework for EHS compliance and performance and covers all elements of our operating lifecycle. These practices and the commitment of our management and our employees to our culture of safety have resulted in only four OSHA recordable incidents in 3.6 million work hours over the three-year period from 2020 through 2022, for an average Total Recordable Incident Rate of 0.22 over that three-year period.

**Recruiting, Hiring and Advancement.** Due to the cyclical nature of our business and the fluctuations in activity that can occur, we take a conservative approach to our headcount, carefully evaluating whether a new hire is necessary for an open position or whether we can fill the position by expanding the role of a current employee or several employees. In this way, we provide employees with opportunities to learn new roles and develop their skills horizontally and vertically and limit or minimize layoffs and fluctuations when downturns occur.

We identify qualified candidates by promoting positions internally, engaging in recruiting through our website platforms, campus outreach, internships and attending job fairs. In our recruiting and hiring efforts, we seek to foster a culture of mutual respect and strictly comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment. We treat all applicants with the same high level of respect regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or protected veteran status. This philosophy extends to all employees throughout the lifecycle of employment.

#### Executive Compensation Overview
The Compensation Committee believes that a program weighted toward variable, at-risk compensation helps align the interest of management and stockholders. The chart below illustrates our CEO's 2022 at-risk compensation. A significant portion of reported compensation is an incentive for future performance and realized only if Range meets certain performance measures.

![](im831784991n324514231.jpg)

(1) Amounts shown reflect salary paid in 2022. Annual Cash Incentive Award for 2022, which was paid in 2023 based on 2022 performance and the grant date fair value of Long-Term Incentive Awards granted in 2022.

#### Pay For Performance
Our executive compensation programs deliver payments aligned with performance achieved and are designed in a way that our performance impacts the "Compensation Actually Paid" ("CAP") of our Named Executive Officers ("NEOs"). The graphics below compare the CAP of our CEO, the average compensation actually paid to our remaining NEOs and the TSR performance of our peer group and Range. The TSR amounts in the graph assume $100 was invested beginning December 31, 2019. CAP is calculated in accordance with SEC rules.

![](im1697741069n802645919.jpg)

#### CEO Compensation Summary
The Annual Cash Incentive for 2022 (paid in February 2023) was 108% of our CEO's base salary. His target annual cash incentive award was 120% of his base salary and his maximum award was 240%. On March 16, 2023, Mr. Ventura announced his retirement as President and Chief Executive Officer effective May 10, 2023. The tables below detail the results of our Board's CEO compensation decisions for the last five years (in thousands):

![](im4149537260n1396205731.jpg)

#### Changes to the Compensation Program in Effect for 2022
Effective for the 2022 compensation period, the Compensation Committee:

• Increased the CEO base salary 3% after seven years of no increase;

• Terminated the automatic vesting of equity awards from being fully vested at age 65 for officers;

• Adopted "best net" policy for covered executives; and

• Changed Long Term Incentive measure from Debt/EBITDAX to a range of absolute net debt (debt less cash on hand).

#### Changes to the Compensation Program in Effect for 2023
• Replaced Annual Cash Incentive metric drilling and completion cost per foot with drilling and completion cost per unit of production (mcfe); and

• For officers, adjusted eligibility for post-retirement benefits.

#### Status of Previously Granted Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards
In February 2020, the Compensation Committee granted long-term incentive awards to the NEOs which included Performance-Based Restricted Stock based on a comparative performance of our common stock measured against a predetermined group of peer companies ("TSR-PSUs"), each of which was equivalent to one share of common stock. The TSR-PSUs awards granted in 2020 were payable in shares of common stock from zero to 200% of the target number granted. The performance period for the TSR-PSUs began February 2020 and ended February 2023. In March 2023 the Compensation Committee certified Range's TSR over the performance period, where our rank among our peers was 2<sup>nd</sup> and the actual payout was 186%.

In February 2020, the Compensation Committee granted long-term incentive awards to NEOs that included Performance-Based Restricted Stock based on Reserves and Production Growth Per Share (debt adjusted). The performance period began January 1, 2020 and ended December 31, 2022 and was payable based on targets set by the Compensation Committee in common stock from zero to 200% of the target number granted. In March 2023, the Compensation Committee certified the results over the performance period, which resulted in a combined payout of 78% of the award.

#### Important Dates for 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (page 73)
Stockholder proposals submitted for inclusion in our 2024 proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), must be received by us on or before December 1, 2023.

# **PROPOSAL 1** 
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

## Nomination and Election of Directors Nominated by the Board
All of our directors are elected to a single year term. As a result, the current term of all our directors expires at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Based on the recommendation received from the Governance and Nominating Committee, our Board of Directors proposes that each of the nominees, six of whom are currently serving as directors, be elected for a new term expiring at the 2024 annual meeting or when their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve if elected. If any one of them becomes unavailable to serve as a director, our Board may designate a substitute nominee. In that case, the persons named as proxies will vote for the substitute nominee designated by our Board. Our Board does not presently contemplate that any of the nominees will become unavailable for election. Due to his impending retirement, Mr. Ventura is not a nominee for re-election.

## Required Vote and Recommendation
**Because it is an uncontested election of directors, each nominee must receive more votes "for" the nominee than votes cast "against" the nominee in order for the nominee to be elected to the Board of Directors. Under our by-laws, in the event a candidate for the Board does not receive more "for" votes than votes "against," the candidate's resignation from the Board will be considered by the Governance and Nominating Committee. A properly executed proxy marked "Abstain" with respect to the election of one or more of our directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Uninstructed shares are not entitled to vote on this proposal; therefore, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this proposal. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. The reasons described at the end of each biographical summary for each nominee that discusses the skills, qualifications and attributes of such candidates, led the Governance and Nominating Committee to recommend such persons for election to the Board. In the event of a contested election of directors, a nominee would be required to receive a plurality of the votes of the holders of shares of our common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Under our by-laws, an "uncontested election" is an election in which the number of nominees for director is not greater than the number to be elected and a "contested election" is an election in which the number of nominees for director is greater than the number to be elected.**

### Director Qualifications
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain criteria that apply to nominees recommended by the Governance and Nominating Committee for positions on our Board. Under these criteria, members of our Board should:

• have high professional and personal ethics and values;

• have expertise and perspective needed to govern the business and support senior management;

• commit to enhancing stockholder value;

• have interest and enthusiasm in Range and a commitment to become involved in its future;

• have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their experience and knowledge;

• constructively participate in discussions, have sound business judgment and sufficiently broad perspective to make meaningful contributions; and

• represent the interests of all stockholders.

Our Board prefers to have a reasonable number of directors who have experience within the oil and gas industry. Our Board has also adopted a policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in the selection of candidates for the Board of Directors and that policy has been included in the Governance and Nominating Committee's charter.

### Director Independence
In accordance with applicable laws, regulations, our Corporate Governance Principles and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), the Board must affirmatively determine the independence of each director and director nominee. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances including, without limitation, transactions during the previous year between Range and the director directly, immediate family members of the director, organizations with which the director is affiliated, and the frequency and dollar amounts associated with these transactions. The Committee then makes a recommendation to the Board with respect to the independence of each director and director nominee. Based on these considerations, the Board determined the following directors are independent:

**Current Public Company Directorships:** None

**Public Company Directorships Within the Past Five Years:** None

***Key Attributes, Skills and Experience***

Mr. Degner is a highly experienced oil and gas business executive who has a very deep technical understanding of the development of oil and gas reserves, particularly oil and gas reserves from unconventional resources. The Governance and Nominating Committee considers having the benefit of the technical management perspective provided to the Board from Mr. Degner highly desirable and beneficial to the long term growth and development of the Company because its exploration and development strategies, especially in the Marcellus Shale play, are important to stockholder value. The Governance and Nominating Committee also believes having the point of view of the Chief Executive Officer represented on the Board is in the best interest of the stockholders and therefore, the Governance and Nominating Committee nominated Mr. Degner as a director for election to the Board.

### Consideration of Stockholder Nominees for Director
The policy of our Governance and Nominating Committee is to consider stockholder nominations for director candidates as described below under "Identifying and Evaluating Board Nominees for Directors, including Diversity Considerations." In evaluating such nominations and in evaluating the composition of the Board, our Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board and to address the membership criteria set forth above under "Director Qualifications". Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by our Governance and Nominating Committee should include the nominee's name and qualifications for Board of Directors membership, meet the requirements set forth in our by-laws and should be addressed to: Corporate Secretary, Range Resources Corporation, 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.

### Identifying and Evaluating Board Nominees for Directors, including Diversity Considerations
Our Governance and Nominating Committee uses a variety of avenues to identify and evaluate director nominees. The Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of our Board and whether any vacancies are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, our Governance and Nominating Committee considers various potential candidates for the Board. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through current Board members, stockholders or other persons. Candidates may be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Committee and may be considered at any point during the year.

The Board ensures refreshment and continued effectiveness through evaluation, nomination and other policies, processes and practices. For example:

• The Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews with the Board the qualifications for Board members and the composition of the Board as a whole.

• The Governance and Nominating Committee annually reviews each director's continuation on the Board and makes recommendations to the full Board.

• Each Board member performs an annual self-assessment and the Governance and Nominating Committee oversees an annual self-assessment of the full Board.

The Committee also considers any stockholder nominations for candidates for our Board. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, recommendations are provided to and considered by our Governance and Nominating Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting, which is generally the first or second meeting before the issuance of the proxy statement for our annual meeting. If any materials are provided by a stockholder in connection with the nomination of a director candidate, such materials are forwarded to our Governance and Nominating Committee. Our Governance and Nominating Committee also reviews materials provided by other parties in connection with a nominee who is not proposed by a stockholder. In evaluating such nominations, our

**RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION** - *2023 Proxy Statement*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18**

[Back to Contents](#_TOC)

Governance and Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board of Directors and evaluates the experience, skills, abilities and qualifications of each candidate and considers the diversity of the current members of the Board. Our Governance and Nominating Committee has in the past used a paid third-party to identify potential directors and if it does engage such third party, it is committed to having any such third party seek candidates, regardless of gender, ethnicity or national origin, as part of the Board's commitment to consideration of diversity as described in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Committee's charter. The Governance and Nominating Committee annually assesses the effectiveness of the Company's diversity policy in connection with the selection of individual candidates for election or re-election to the Board. As the Board evolves, racial and ethnic diversity will be an important factor considered in assessing the overall mix of skills, experience, background and characteristics. We recognize the importance of diversity and welcome continued dialogue with our investors on this topic.

### Proxy Access
The Company's By-Laws allow a stockholder or group of stockholders that meet certain criteria and requirements to nominate candidates for election to the Board and have such persons included in the Company's proxy statement. The basic requirements to be met in order to submit a candidate for election to the Board utilizing proxy access are that a stockholder or group of stockholders comprised of no more than 20 unaffiliated stockholders must have owned at least 3% of the outstanding common stock of the Company for at least 3 years in order to submit a nominee. The maximum number of nominees is 20% of the Board or 2, whichever is greater. If you wish to utilize the Company's proxy access process, you must submit the information required under the By-Laws to the Company not less than one hundred and twenty (120) days nor more than one hundred and fifty (150) days prior to the first anniversary of the date that the Company first distributed its proxy statement to stockholders for the previous year's Annual Meeting (i.e. March 30, 2023). Copies of the Company's By-laws are available on the Company's website at <u>www.rangeresources.com</u> or upon request addressed to the Company's Corporate Secretary.

### Board Leadership Structure

##### Board Overview
• Independent Chairman of the Board;

• Active engagement by all directors;

• 6 of our 7 director nominees are independent; and

• All members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the ESG & Safety Committee and the Governance and Nominating Committee are Independent.

#### Chairman and CEO Roles
At different times in the Company's history, the positions of chairman and chief executive officer have been split or combined as circumstances have warranted. The Board recognizes that no single leadership structure is right for all companies at all times. Accordingly, annually the Board may elect as Chairman any member of the Board, including the CEO. Currently, the Chairman is independent. The Chairman of the Board presides at the Board meetings and meetings of stockholders and his responsibilities include, among other things:

• Call meetings of the independent directors and chair executive sessions of the Board at which no members of management are present;

• Approve the agendas for Board meetings;

• Propose a schedule of Board meetings and the information to be provided by management for Board consideration;

• Recommend the retention of consultants who report directly to the Board;

### Board of Directors

#### Attendance
The Board of Directors met six times in 2022. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board and the committees on which he or she served during the year. Directors are expected to attend all meetings of stockholders, the Board and the committees which they serve. All of our directors attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

#### Executive Sessions of Non-Employee Directors
Non-employee directors ordinarily meet in executive session without management present at each regularly scheduled Board meeting and may meet at other times at the discretion of the Chairman or at the request of any non-employee director.

#### Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions
Our Governance and Nominating Committee Charter includes a provision regarding the review and approval of related person transactions. Our Governance and Nominating Committee is charged with reviewing transactions which would require disclosure under our filings under the Exchange Act, and related rules, as a related person transaction, and making a recommendation to our Board regarding the initial authorization or ratification of any such transaction. If our Board of Directors considers ratification of a related person transaction and determines not to ratify the transaction, management is required to make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul such transaction.

In determining whether or not to recommend the approval or ratification of a related person transaction, our Governance and Nominating Committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances including, if applicable:

• whether there is an appropriate business justification for the transaction;

• the benefits that accrue to us as a result of the transaction;

• the terms available to unrelated third parties entering into similar transactions;

• the impact of the transaction on a director's independence (in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer);

• the availability of other sources for comparable products or services;

• whether it is a single transaction or a series of ongoing, related transactions; and

• whether entering into the transaction would be consistent with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

No related person transaction in an amount exceeding $120,000 occurred during 2022.

#### Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which is applicable to all of our directors and employees including our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our principal accounting officer. We intend to post amendments to and waivers, if any, from our code of ethics (to the extent applicable to our principal executive and financial officers and directors) on our website at <u>www.rangeresources.com</u> under the section titled "Corporate Governance." The latest change to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was posted February 20, 2013. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was reviewed by our Board of Directors and our Governance and Nominating Committee in early 2023.

### Risk Oversight by the Board
The Board's role in risk oversight recognizes the multifaceted nature of risk management. It is a control and compliance function, but it also involves strategic considerations in normal business decisions, finance, security, cybersecurity, safety, health and environmental concerns.

The Board has empowered its Committees with risk oversight responsibilities. Each of the Committees meets regularly with management to review, as appropriate, compliance with existing policies and procedures and to discuss change or improvement that may be required or desirable. In addition, the Board receives regular and detailed reports from management covering cybersecurity and other risks involving technology.

The Audit Committee plays a central role in the Board's oversight of internal risks, by evaluating the Company's financial reporting, by supervising the internal audit function, interfacing with the independent auditor, regularly communicating with the Chief Financial Officer and other members of management, monitoring the Company's compliance programs, including the Company's third party anonymous hotline for the notification of compliance concerns, supervising the investigation of any alleged financial fraud, monitoring the Company's internal risk forums and the Company's enterprise risk management program (the responsibility for which the Audit Committee shares with the Board).

The Compensation Committee considers the possible risk implications of the Company's various compensation programs and plans and monitors the elements of such compensation programs so that risk in the behavior of the employees of the Company, including our NEOs, is considered in such policies and programs and does not incentivize excess risk taking.

The ESG and Safety Committee monitors risks and opportunities related to ESG, climate and sustainability matters including identifying, assessing, monitoring and managing the principal risks associated with health, safety and the environment.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Company's governance processes and monitors those processes, including the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Business Ethics compliance function, Board Committee Charters and Board annual evaluations, to evaluate their effectiveness in avoiding the creation of risk to the Company and providing for proper and effective governance of the Company.

Cybersecurity is an integral part of risk management. The Board appreciates the rapidly evolving nature of threats presented by cyber-security incidents and is committed to the prevention, timely detection and mitigation of the effects of any such incidents. The Board receives quarterly updates from management regarding cybersecurity. Range has not experienced a material cybersecurity breach within the past three years.

While the Board and its committees oversee risk management, Range management is responsible for managing risk. We have a robust enterprise risk management process for identifying, assessing and managing risk and monitoring risk mitigation strategies which is reviewed quarterly by the Audit Committee. Under the leadership of our Principal Accounting Officer, a committee of officers and senior managers work across the business to manage each enterprise level risk and to identify emerging risks and the results are reported annually to the Board.

### Corporate Sustainability
Our commitment to acting responsibly and ethically guides our work each day, influencing every aspect of our operations from the boardroom to the well pad. We are committed to operating in a sustainable manner and proactively working with the communities where we operate to ensure that our team can deliver long-term, sustainable value to our stockholders, business partners and community members, all while protecting the environment and creating economic opportunity.

Our corporate sustainability ("CS") strategy is guided by the following five key tenets aimed at delivering long-term, sustainable value to our stockholders, business partners and community members:

1. **Safety Leadership:** We uphold the highest standards when it comes to operating in a safe, compliant and ethical manner. Our goal is simple: Provide a safe workplace with zero safety incidents. We work every day to achieve this critical business goal.

2. **Environmental Stewardship:** We are committed stewards of the environment, leveraging new technologies to develop clean-burning natural gas to contribute to broader emission reduction goals and incorporating sustainable practices into our operations. We strive to meet or exceed both expectations and regulatory requirements and seek improvement to guidelines and procedures when we feel the standards are not high enough.

3. **Community Impact:** Our resource development is a partnership, from creating jobs, partnering with local contractors, generating royalties for lessors, to providing significant tax revenues. Range works hard every day to create economic opportunities for our business regions, community members and stockholders and we are devoted to taking care of the neighborhoods in which we live and work.

4. **Corporate Governance:** Range and its Board are committed to implementing sound, transparent corporate governance principles that strengthen confidence and trust with our stakeholders.

5. **Human Capital Management:** We recognize our employees are the heart of everything we do. We value each member of our workforce and their contribution to our success.

Our Board feels strongly that executing on these key tenets is important to our long-term sustainable growth. As a result, in 2023, 25% of certain executive officers' respective Annual Incentive Awards is tied to goals in the area of CS.

#### Environmental Stewardship
• As a dedicated steward of the environment, we focus on incorporating leading sustainability practices into every aspect of our business. Our commitment starts at the top of our organization, with strong board-level engagement and oversight on critical ESG driven matters across the business.

• Environmental Compliance is integral to our operations. This is advanced by a team of experts who assist in the integration of environmental compliance and protection into our day-to-day operations.

• At Range, we have a commitment to sustainable operations that keep our people and environment safe. This includes our goal of working toward achieving net zero GHG emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) through innovative emissions-reducing technologies, enhanced emission capture and control on site and carbon offsets.

• By returning to existing locations and expanding lateral well length, Range has been able to significantly reduce impacted surface use.

• Our industry leading water management and recycling program, as well as a water sharing program with other operators, reduces well costs, traffic and associated emissions and fresh water consumption. The contribution of these programs has allowed us to reuse the equivalent of approximately 150% of our own water production by recycling water produced by other operators.

#### Safety Leadership
• Range upholds the highest standards when it comes to operating in a safe, compliant and ethical manner. We employ training for all employees to advance our safety standards. When it comes to safety, our goal is simple, zero safety incidents.

• Range is open and proactive in our efforts to mitigate safety incidents and impacts. To measure and continuously improve the Company's safety and environmental performance, Range uses a data-driven approach to track our progress against our broader safety initiatives. Range also compares this statistical data against OSHA's criteria for determining rates for injuries and incidents that result in lost time or restricted duty. In addition, we evaluate our performance against industry peers and other industrial groups, ensuring we are constantly striving for top tier safety performance.

• The Company maintains a robust outreach team that works with a variety of stakeholders, including citizens, nongovernmental organizations, local and state government officials, area school districts, and first responders to promote a safe operating environment in the communities where we work.

## Director Compensation
Director compensation is set by the Compensation Committee after working with our independent compensation consultant and a review of a peer group of companies (the "Peer Group"). The Compensation Committee generally approves compensation for directors just prior to the Board of Directors' meeting following the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. Compensation arrangements for directors are effective with each election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Compensation Committee has also approved the payment of annual stock awards to the directors for a portion of their overall director compensation. Directors who are company employees do not receive any separate compensation for service on the Board or committees of the Board.

The Governance and Nominating and Compensation Committees continue to monitor the activities and time responsibilities of each director to determine if a change in circumstances would warrant a change in the director fee structure. The directors are reimbursed for their travel and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their duties as a director. In addition, the directors are allowed to participate in our Deferred Compensation Plan but their deferrals do not qualify for our Company match. We do not provide to directors any of the following: any legacy awards or charitable awards programs for directors upon retirement, tax reimbursement arrangements, payments in connection with a Change in Control, securities or products purchased at a discount or life insurance arrangements. However, any unvested restricted stock will become vested in connection with a Change in Control.

# **PROPOSAL 2** 
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As we do each year, and as required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC's compensation disclosure rules. The executive compensation program is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 31 and the other tables and narrative disclosures in this Proxy Statement.

The executive compensation program for the NEOs includes many best-practice features that are intended to enhance the alignment of compensation with the interests of Range's stockholders:

**Executive Compensation Program Objectives** 

In 2022, the Compensation Committee strived to maintain a compensation program that is consistent with industry practice and attract and retains outstanding executives by providing incentives to reward them for superior performance that supports Range's long-term strategic objectives.

The 2022 executive compensation program was expected to:

• Be highly aligned with stockholder interests;

• Preserve performance accountability through commodity cycles;

• Build long-term share ownership;

• Provide a consistent retention incentive;

• Be straight forward and transparent for the benefit of executives and stockholders; and

• Match or exceed prevailing governance standards for performance-based compensation.

**We are therefore asking stockholders to vote on the following resolution:** 

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the compensation tables.

## Required Vote and Recommendation
**As an advisory vote, the matter for which stockholders have the opportunity to vote under Proposal 2 is non-binding. Although the vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs.**

**If you own shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must instruct them how to vote so that your vote can be counted on this proposal as uninstructed shares are not entitled to vote with regard to Proposal 2. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve this Proposal 2.**

### Commitment to Pay-for-Performance
We remain committed to the pay-for-performance philosophy for our compensation programs with a substantial portion of our NEO compensation strongly aligned with the experience of our stockholders.

![](im379440428n383699734.jpg)

### Responsiveness to Ongoing Stockholder Engagement
Throughout the last half of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, we continued our stockholder outreach program. Based on our conversations with stockholders and the support of 98% of the votes cast in our 2022 advisory vote to approve NEO compensation (Say-on-Pay Vote), we believe that stockholders generally endorse the current executive compensation program and recognize that it is functioning as intended. For this engagement cycle, the majority of stockholders we contacted responded that they did not seek to engage at this time or did not respond to our request. Management and the Compensation Committee will continue to engage with stockholders on the design of our executive compensation program and work to promote alignment of executive officers pay with stockholder interests.

**Principal Elements of Executive Compensation.** We principally use three elements of executive compensation to carry out the design of our executive compensation program:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Element** | **Purpose** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Base Salary<br>| Retain executive team and, when appropriate, attract executives. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Cash Incentive award<br>| Reward executives for short-term financial and operational results. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual Long-Term Equity Incentive award<br>| Focus executive efforts on activities and results that lead to long-term stockholder value. Our restricted stock awards vest based on continued employment and the passage of time, which promotes retention. The remainder of the awards vest based on performance measures tied to either relative stock price performance or internal performance metrics which promotes the long-term interests of our stockholders and aligns executives' interests with stockholders' interests. |

### Our Business Objective and Strategy
Our overarching business objective is to build stockholder value through returns focused development of our natural gas properties. Our strategy to achieve our business objective is to generate consistent cash flows from reserves and production through internally generated drilling projects. Our strategy requires us to make significant investments and financial commitments in technical staff, acreage, seismic data, drilling and completion technology and gathering and transportation arrangements to build drilling inventory and market our products. Our strategy has the following key elements:

• Commit to environmental protection and worker and community safety;

• Concentrate in our core operating area;

• Focus on cost efficiency;

• Maintain a high-quality multi-year drilling inventory;

• Maintain a long-life reserve base with a low base decline rate;

• Market our products to a large number of customers in diverse markets under a variety of commercial terms;

• Maintain operational and financial flexibility; and

• Provide employee equity-ownership and incentive compensation aligned with our stakeholders' interests.

These elements are anchored by our interests in the Marcellus Shale located in Pennsylvania which we believe has a remaining productive life in excess of 50 years.

### 2022 Business Highlights
In 2022, our strong operational performance drove our robust financial performance. We achieved 2022 sales volumes of 774.1 Bcfe or an average daily sales volume of 2,121 Mmcfe per day. With a focus on operational efficiency, spending was only slightly higher than our original 2022 capital budget, despite inflationary pressure and we delivered on our original production guidance. This focus coupled with significant increases in commodity prices resulted in significantly higher cash flow and allowed for our improved financial position.

**Stockholder Initiatives**

• Repurchased 14.0 million shares of our common stock, reducing outstanding share count by approximately 5%;

• Increased the Board approved share repurchases program by $1.4 billion; and

• Re-initiated the dividend in third quarter of $0.08 per share per quarter.

**ESG Commitment**

• Doubled our leak detection inspections from four to eight times a year;

• Continued our water recycle program and recycled approximately 100% of our produced and flowback volume;

• Total Recordable Incident Rate of 0.46;

• Pilot tested the use of compressed air pneumatic controllers; and

• Continued utilizing an electric hydraulic fracturing fleet along with dual fuel drilling rigs.

**Financial Strength**

• Generated full year 2022 cash provided from operations of $1.9 billion;

• At year-end 2022, achieved a 32% reduction in consolidated net debt compared to year-end 2021;

• Issued $500.0 million of 4.75% senior notes due 2030;

• Entered into a new five year revolving credit facility;

• Retired senior notes due 2026, 2023 and 2022 during 2022. No debt maturities until 2025; and

• Received credit rating upgrades from S&P and Moody's.

**Portfolio Strength**

• Increased our total proved reserves by 2%, with such reserves consisting of approximately 65% natural gas.

---

Our relationship with our stockholders is an integral part of our corporate governance practices. In addition to our customary participation at industry and investor conferences, road shows and meetings, we held meetings to better understand the views of stockholders on a range of topics including executive compensation, governance practices and business strategy. The Compensation Committee and management continued our review of our compensation program with input from the Board's independent compensation consultant. This review included direct engagement with our stockholders to ensure full understanding of their perspectives and their feedback was incorporated into the Compensation Committee's deliberations and decisions in early 2023 and 2022.

![](im215419495n1156624485.jpg)

Mr. Maxwell, our Chairman, Mr. Gray, the Chair of our Compensation Committee and Ms. Dorman, the Chair of our ESG & Safety Committee, led the stockholder outreach effort, joined by members of senior management. We reached out to stockholders representing approximately 65% of our outstanding shares since our May 2022 Annual Meeting; these investors were typically our larger stockholders. We held meetings with each stockholder who accepted our invitation to engage. During these conversations, stockholders were invited to provide direct feedback on our current compensation programs. We also spoke with proxy advisory firms that provide vote recommendations to gain insight into their views on our executive compensation programs and address their questions.

In these meetings, we discussed our strategy, corporate governance, executive compensation and our commitment to the environment. The feedback received from our stockholders on these and other topics was generally positive.

The key topics from this year's stockholder engagement were:

• Stockholders applauded our recent Corporate Sustainability Report, our net zero emissions target and position on emissions intensity;

• Stockholders emphasized the importance of our oversight of environmental efforts;

• Stockholders appreciated a discussion of the Range culture of doing the right thing;

• Stockholders appreciated gender and ethnic diversity composition and refreshment of our Board;

• Stockholders were interested in the annual incentive focus on the balance sheet improvements and ESG;

• Stockholders appreciated the opportunity to meet and the open discussion directly with management and our directors; and

• Stockholders generally agreed with the strategic direction and our focus on controlling what we can control.

---

### Role of Independent Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and overseeing our executive compensation program and policies that are consistent with our overall compensation philosophy. In making such decisions, the Committee considers a variety of factors, including views expressed by stockholders and stockholder advisory groups, information provided by its independent compensation consultant, our CEO's input, Peer Group data, each executive's experience in the role, Company and individual performance, internal pay equity and any other information the Committee deems relevant in its discretion. The Committee is responsible for all compensation decisions involving our CEO and other executive officers.

![](im2562379532x879420905.jpg)

### Stockholder Outreach
The Committee considers the outcomes of the Company's advisory stockholder vote on our executive compensation program and our stockholder outreach initiatives when making compensation decisions. To continue our focus on best practices, we enhanced our stockholder engagement program in the past few years to solicit specific valuable feedback from investors on executive compensation which we then share with the Committee and the Board. We contact a broad base of institutional investors and speak with those interested in meeting and sharing feedback with us.

We believe our incentive program changes over the last several years have been highly responsive to the feedback received from our stockholders and serve to strengthen the alignment with our strategic objectives. We will continue our dialogue with stockholders on compensation issues as part of our ongoing engagement.

### Role of Senior Management
Through our compensation cycle that ended March 2023, our CEO submitted recommendations to the Compensation Committee for adjustments to the salary, Annual Cash Incentives and Long-Term Equity Incentive awards payable to all NEOs (except himself), Senior Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents. The Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of our CEO as only one factor, in addition to the other factors described in this CD&A, in setting our executive officer and other employee compensation. The CEO is not present during deliberations by the Compensation Committee regarding his own compensation. The Committee's independent consultant provides independent analysis and recommendations for Mr. Ventura for consideration by our Compensation Committee. At the request of the Compensation Committee, our CEO and our CFO attend certain meetings and working sessions of the Compensation Committee. Senior members of the human resources team and other members of senior management interact with the compensation consultant as necessary and prepare materials for each Compensation Committee meeting.

### Role of Independent Compensation Consultants
For 2022, the Committee directly engaged NFP Compensation Consulting ("NFP," formerly Longnecker & Associates) as its independent compensation consultant to advise the Committee on executive compensation matters. NFP provided the Committee with information on industry trends, market practices and legislative issues. With the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Company also retained Alvarez and Marsal (or "A&M") to provide valuation services related to the use of performance-based restricted stock awards based on TSR and certain change-in-control calculations. In 2022, the Company paid NFP a total of $117,000 for consulting services related to executive and director compensation. The Company paid A&M a total of $44,000 for valuation and change-in-control services in 2022.

NFP interacted with several of our officers and employees as necessary. In addition, NFP may seek input and feedback from members of our management regarding its work product prior to presentation to the Committee to confirm that information is accurate or address other issues. We believe that NFP provides an independent perspective to the Committee.

### Competitive Positioning
In support of our compensation objectives and in order to determine an appropriate total value and mix of pay for executives, we reference the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles of the Compensation Peer Group. These percentiles are reference points only; we do not automatically compensate each executive at these levels. Several variables, including individual performance, time employed in the position, annual Company performance and one-and three-year relative stock price performance influence the actual executive compensation decisions. We look at our individual NEO and total NEO Total Direct Compensation compared to individual NEO and total NEO Total Direct Compensation of companies in our Compensation Peer Group. Because not all of our NEO positions are directly comparable to NEO positions of other companies in our Compensation Peer Group, we believe that reviewing the aggregate total direct compensation of all NEOs provides an appropriate reference for comparative purposes and allows us to compare our total cost of management for all NEOs to our peers' total cost of management.

### Role of Peer Companies
Peer Group benchmarking is one of several factors the Compensation Committee considers in setting pay. The Committee seeks to maintain a Peer Group that is generally similar to us with respect to business activity and specifically focuses on companies engaged in exploration for and production of oil and gas resources with Range having a market capitalization near the median of the Peer Group. The Compensation Committee reviews the composition of the Peer Group with advice from the independent compensation consultant in the last quarter of each calendar year and any additions or deletions are made to the Peer Group at that time. For 2022, one company was deleted, one added and two companies merged, with the new entity included to the peer group. For 2023, the peer group was not adjusted. Each year, companies that are acquired or merged during the year are eliminated from that year's Peer Group to the extent such acquisitions or mergers prevent the company from being an appropriate member of the Peer Group.

This chart describes the oil and gas exploration and production companies that have been included in the Peer Group in the last two years:

### Elements of Executive Compensation

#### Base Salary
The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries on an annual basis, at the time of a promotion or changes in responsibilities and when market conditions warrant. Base salaries for our NEOs consider the 50th percentile of the Peer Group adjusted for certain factors. Base salary is based on an evaluation of the following:

• the complexity of their respective positions and specific technical experience required;

• experience and tenure;

• the base salaries of comparable positions at Peer Group companies;

• competitive market conditions; and

• internal pay equity among our senior executives.

Salary adjustments are approved by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of each year and take effect on the first payroll period after approval. The timing of these salary adjustments allows the Compensation Committee to consider the audited financial results of our Peer Group companies and allows for disclosure of our current compensation decisions in our proxy statement. In February 2022, the Committee's independent consultant reviewed the NEO's base salaries compared to Peer Group data and broader market data and initially recommended a 3.5 - 4.0% increase in base salaries for each NEO. The compensation consultant noted that, in aggregate, our NEO's base salary was generally aligned with the 50th percentile of the Peer Group but individual variances existed and inflation projections indicated higher estimates for raises. The compensation consultant noted maintaining alignment of base salary between 50th and 75th percentile of the Peer Group was a key consideration. The Committee considered the recommendations of NFP and management and determined to increase base salary for our NEOs, noting a number of years had passed since salaries were increased. In March 2023, NFP reviewed the NEOs base salary compared to a peer group and various published survey sources and initially recommended a pool of dollars representing an increase of approximately 8.8%, noting the aggregate NEO salaries were aligned slightly below the 50th percentile and taking into account current inflation projections. The Committee reviewed the comparisons to peers and broader market data and determined to increase the base salary for certain NEOs. The Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the following base salaries effective March 2023.

#### Annual Cash Incentive Awards
The annual cash bonus award is intended to compensate the NEOs based on the achievement of annual financial, operating and strategic goals. It emphasizes team performance in achieving corporate goals. We refer to cash awards as "Annual Cash Incentives." The Annual Cash Incentives are paid to our NEOs based on a formulaic application of certain performance criteria that are discussed more fully below.

The Annual Cash Incentives are subject to the negative discretion of the Compensation Committee and could include other criteria the Committee deems appropriate. Annual Cash Incentives are determined without reference to Peer Group data, because each performance criteria has been pre-established by the Compensation Committee. The Annual Cash Incentive related to our 2022 performance was paid in February 2023 as detailed in the table below:

---

The Compensation Committee develops the performance criteria to be used for the Annual Cash Incentives, reviews the performance criteria with the independent compensation consultants and then discusses the performance criteria with our CEO and CFO. The Committee then sets the criteria as well as the weighting and performance achievement levels necessary to calculate Annual Cash Incentives based upon payout percentages established for our NEOs. For 2022, the performance criteria were based upon either industry competitive levels or our annual business plan (the "Annual Business Plan"). Our Annual Business Plan is a forecast of expected business results for the applicable fiscal year based upon certain assumptions made by our management. The Compensation Committee believes that the performance criteria, taken together, are strong objective indicators of the Company's performance, thus similar factors are typically used in determining the Company's performance relative to its Peer Group for setting total compensation and long-term incentive equity awards as described above. Target Annual Cash Incentives are determined as a percentage of each NEO's base salary. This target percentage is established through an analysis of compensation for comparable positions in the Peer Group and is intended to provide a competitive level of compensation if the Company achieves the performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.

For 2022 results, the Committee also considered the exceptional results for the year which included record net income and operating cash flow. In addition, the Committee analyzed the impact higher natural gas prices and inflation had on the target levels of the performance criteria. Higher commodity prices generate higher unit costs (along with higher margins). The Committee considered numerous sensitivity calculations of performance for 2022. Based on all of these quantitative measures, some of which showed higher performance, the Committee determined the payout for 2022 performance.

The performance criteria selected with respect to the Annual Cash Incentive awards for 2022 (which were paid in February 2023) are shown in the table below, together with the target levels of achievement with respect to each criterion. The payouts were achieved as described below. All five of the performance criteria are internal performance measures.

##### Cash Unit Costs
The first criterion the Compensation Committee selected for 2022 was Cash Unit Costs. Cash Unit Costs is calculated by adding direct operating costs, gathering, processing and transportation costs, other tax expense, general and administrative and interest expense (excluding stock-based compensation and the amortization of deferred financing costs) and net broker margin on a per mcfe basis. The Compensation Committee selected this criterion to measure our ability to focus on areas that are within our control. The performance target was not achieved in 2022 primarily due to the impact of higher commodity prices on transportation, gathering and processing expense. The Committee also analyzed the impact higher commodity prices had on transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense noting the results would have been $2.04 per mcfe if commodity prices remained the same.

[Back to Contents](#_TOC)

##### Return on Average Capital Employed
The second criterion the Compensation Committee selected for 2022 was Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE). ROACE is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by EBIT (as defined below) divided by average net debt plus average stockholders' equity. ROACE is used by the investment community as a measure of operating profit relative to total debt and equity capital. "EBIT" represents earnings before interest expense and income taxes. The Compensation Committee selected this criterion which measures profitability compared to total investments made in new capital. In setting the performance levels (i.e. threshold, target and excellent), the Compensation Committee considered various returns based metrics used by our peers, input from management along with analysis and guidance from our compensation consultant and stockholder feedback. The performance target was achieved in 2022 with reported production levels on budget, effective marketing of production, the positive impact of an efficient hedging program in relation to higher commodity prices, by continuing to focus on operating efficiencies which included capital spending being only slightly higher than budget and an improvement in our debt levels.

##### Drilling and Completion Cost per Foot
The third criterion the Compensation Committee selected for 2022 was drilling and completion cost per foot. This metric was selected to continue to focus on capital efficiency which is dependent upon team performance, lateral lengths, effective planning and logistics among other factors. This metric is measured based on actual capital expenditures divided by actual lateral feet for wells turned to sales. In setting the performance levels (i.e. threshold, target and excellent) for drilling on completions cost per foot, the compensation committee considered publicly stated objectives of our peers along with historical internal cost efficiencies already achieved. The performance target was not achieved in 2022 due to the impact of cost inflation and incremental capital spending in 2022 added to secure resources for 2023.

##### Drilling Rate of Return
The fourth criterion the Compensation Committee selected for 2022 was drilling rate of return. This metric supports our focus on corporate returns and encourages efficiency of capital spending. This metric continues to encourage focus on well productivity relative to drilling costs. The drilling rate of return is measured based on actual capital expenditures and the year-end proved reserves estimates of drilling results. Commodity prices effective on the first day of the year are used in the calculation. The target is set based on our expectation of capital allocation and capital efficiency for the year and our prior year drilling results. The performance for 2022 remained among the best for our peer group, but target was not achieved in 2022 primarily due to the impact of cost inflation and incremental capital spending in 2022 added to secure resources for 2023.

##### Discretionary Measure
The last criterion the Compensation Committee selected for 2022 was a qualitative measure which includes elements of environmental, health and safety performance ("HSE"). Range continues to be committed to ensuring it provides a safe work place and instilling a culture of safety and environmental responsibility at every level of our organization. Priorities include elements of safety performance, emissions and water management and corporate citizenship. We focus on transparency around HSE and encourage reporting of all incidents involving our employees and contractors (including near misses) and we have used examples of incidents reported as a vehicle to educate our employees and contractors to improve our HSE practices. There are also quantitative measures evaluated such as reductions in emissions, number of spills, auto accidents, leak detection inspections and notices of violations. The performance target was achieved in 2022 by the committee's review and analysis of several HSE results including:

• doubled leak detection inspections;

• strong water recycling ratio;

• non-freshwater spill rate improved compared to 2021;

• methane emissions component leak rate similar to 2021;

• zero serious/severe injuries for contractors or employees in 2022;

• 50% reduction in Number of Workforce OSHA Recordable Injuries compared to 2021; and

• 50% reduction in Number of Workforce Days Away Restricted Treatment Injuries compared to 2021.

The last criterion also includes factors not otherwise captured in the previously described objective performance measures. Factors would include portfolio management, succession planning, talent development and other factors. These factors are deemed by the Compensation Committee to have been important in the years' performance and may vary from year to year. The Committee follows no set performance targets relating to these factors. The performance target was achieved in 2022 by successfully continuing to further strengthen our financial foundation and successfully managing the impact of inflation.

In addition to selecting the performance criteria, the Compensation Committee determined, after consultation with NFP, the respective performance payout percentages for each of our NEOs. In determining these payout percentages, the Compensation Committee attempted to ensure that the payouts provided appropriate incentives to each of our senior executives. For 2022, the annual incentive payout percentage was a weighted average of the payout percentage for each category using the percentages set forth below in the table. When actual results achieved fall between the performance levels, the percentile performance used to determine the payout percentage is proportionately adjusted between the performance levels. For 2022, the Compensation Committee awarded bonuses partially based on the formulaically determined award as shown in the table below. The committee also considered the exceptional results reported for 2022 including record net income and record operating cash flow along with the impact inflation and higher commodity prices had on each criterion and determined to slightly increase the actual payout as shown below.

• **Performance-Based TSR Stock Units ("TSR-PSUs").** The Committee believes that a performance unit program based on TSR relative to peer companies aligns pay and Company performance. The industry peers selected for each performance cycle generally match the industry peers comprising the prevailing Peer Group used for compensation benchmarking. TSR is determined using the average stock price of each company at the beginning of the performance period based on the average closing price in a 10 day period prior to and ending at the close of business on the date of grant and at the end of the performance period using the 10 day period prior to and ending on the 3 year anniversary date of the grant date. Reinvestment of dividends is assumed. If the TSR at the end of the performance period is negative, the payout percentage is capped at target regardless of ranking. The TSR-PSUs award is denominated in performance stock units (PSUs), each of which is equivalent to one share of common stock.

***2022 TSR – PSUs.*** In February 2022, the Committee awarded certain NEOs performance units that will vest based on relative TSR for the three-year performance period ending February 2025. The value of each underlying unit tracks the price of a share of our common stock. The percentage of units earned ranges from 0% to 200% of the units granted with no payout for being below the 9th ranked company. Dividend equivalents, if any, accrue and are paid based on performance at the end of the performance period. Earned awards are paid in stock shortly after the completion of the performance period. A table illustrating the potential payouts based on relative and absolute TSR performance for the TSR-PSUs granted in 2022 is set forth below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **TSR Ranking** | **% of Target PSUs Earned<sup>(1)</sup>** |
| 1st ranked company | 200% |
| Top 2-8 ranked company | between 75% and 183% |
| 9<sup>th</sup> ranked company | 50% |
| 10<sup>th</sup> - 13<sup>th</sup> ranked company | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If absolute TSR is negative over the performance period, the payout is capped at 100%, irrespective of ranking within the peer group. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If absolute TSR is negative over the performance period, the payout is capped at 100%, irrespective of ranking within the peer group. |

***2022 TSR-PSUs.*** The performance units granted in February 2022 have a performance end date of February 2025 with a target payout at the median performance compared to 13 peer companies (including the S&P 500 index).

***2021 TSR-PSUs.*** The performance units granted in February 2021 have a performance end date of February 2024 with a target payout percentages at the median performance compared to 13 peer companies (including the S&P 500 index).

***2020 TSR-PSUs.*** The performance units granted in February 2020 had a performance end date of February 2023 with a target payout percentages at the median performance compared to 16 peer companies. Our TSR resulted in a ranking of second, providing a payout of 186 percent of target.

***2019 TSR-PSUs.*** The performance units granted in March 2019 had a performance end date of March 2022 with target payout percentages at the median performance compared to 13 peer companies. Our TSR resulted in a ranking of second, providing a payout of 183 percent of target, as shown below.

**Performance – Based Internal Metrics.** In 2021, the Committee set performance based on two internal measures – Debt/EBITDAX and Emissions Performance over the three-year performance period. Debt to EBITDAX is calculated as total long-term debt divided by EBITDAX, a non-GAAP measure. EBITDAX represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and exploration expense, as approved by the Compensation Committee. In setting the performance targets, a mid-cycle price of $2.90 per mcfe was used. Emissions Performance considered our publicly announced intention to have net zero scope/greenhouse gas emissions on a CO2e/mmcfe basis by the end of 2025 using a linear reduction from 2019 actual of 0.35 resulting in a ratable decline to net zero in 2025. In 2022, the Committee replaced the internal measure of Debt/EBITDAX with net debt while also including Emissions Performance.

***2022 PSUs.*** The performance period began January 1, 2022 and ends December 31, 2024. The number of shares earned at the end of the three-year period will be determined as follows and based on performance established in 2022. For performance at the minimum level, shares will be forfeited. Performance is measured relative to the target determined by the Compensation Committee. The table below summarizes these grants in 2022:

***2021 PSUs-Internal Metrics.*** The performance units granted in February 2021 have a performance end date of December 31, 2023.

***2020 PSUs-PGPS/RGPS.* **The performance units granted in February 2020 had a performance end date of December 31, 2022. For these awards, the final payout was a combined 78%.

**Time-Based Restricted Stock.** The Committee awards restricted stock for diversification of the long-term incentive award mix, for consistent alignment between executives and stockholders and for retention purposes. Restricted stock awards are made according to the then applicable annual grant schedule and generally cliff vest at the end of three years. Prior to vesting, restricted stock recipients have the right to vote and receive dividends on the restricted shares.

The Compensation Committee engaged NFP to assist with the analysis of the actual delivery of compensation verses the performance of the Company. The following changes/decisions have been made for 2023:

• Determined to increase certain NEO base salaries between 6% and 20%;

• Changed Annual Cash Incentive metric from Drilling and Completion Cost per foot with Drilling and Completion Cost per unit of production (mcfe);

• Our CEO, CFO and COO Long-Term Incentive grant mix was 40% Time-Based Restricted Stock and 60% Performance-Based Restricted Stock; all other NEOs' grant mix were 100% Time-Based Restricted Stock; and

• Target Annual Cash Incentive Payouts were set at 120% for our CEO; 100% for our CFO and COO; 75% for our Senior Vice Presidents.

The 2023 performance criteria, weighting and target levels of achievement with respect to each of the 2023 criterion are shown in the table below.

The 2023 performance criteria, weighting and performance achievement levels were selected based on discussions with management and the independent compensation consultants. Cash unit costs was chosen for the fifth year in a row to focus on competitive corporate profitability. For 2023, the impact of higher commodity prices on certain cash unit costs may cause the target levels to be adjusted by the Compensation Committee using budget pricing levels. Return on average capital employed was added in 2021 to focus on operating profit relative to total debt and equity. The third criterion is drilling and completion costs per unit of production which was added in 2023 to continue to focus on capital efficiency, enhance returns and capture well productivity along with base decline. Drilling rate of return supports our continuing focus on stringent capital allocations based on project level returns sufficient to drive improving corporate returns. The final criterion is a discretionary measure that will be focused on quantitative HSE measures such as fresh water spills, number of notices of violation, vehicle incidents and methane emissions component leak rate.

### Other Compensation

#### Deferred Compensation Plan
Members of management and our directors are entitled to participate in our deferred compensation plan. This deferred compensation plan is described in greater detail in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan*." Employee participants may defer a dollar amount or percentage amount of their base salary and/or annual bonus. Non-employee directors may defer a dollar amount or percentage of their annual fees and/or their annual equity award. Currently, we match the voluntary deferrals of the employee participants, up to 10% of their base salary. Employee participants can elect to have the match paid in cash or stock (the "Match Award"). The Compensation Committee considers the matching contributions, whether paid in cash or by stock, as additional cash compensation in calculating the total compensation for each NEO. We understand that the matching component is not common among the Peer Group. However, the matching component is a significant component to our compensation practices because we do not provide any pension benefits other than the 401(k) Plan. In fourth quarter 2017, we implemented a post-retirement benefit plan to assist in providing health care to officers who are active employees and have met certain age and service requirements up until the time they are eligible for Medicare. See "*Other Benefits*" below for additional information.

In addition, when our NEOs receive Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards as described above, we contribute the awards to the deferred compensation plan on our NEOs behalf, and such contributions constitute unvested discretionary contributions. The investment tracking options are described in greater detail in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plans*". Performance Units, when awarded, are not placed into the deferred compensation plan. Beginning in 2023, these Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards will no longer be placed into the deferred compensation plan.

#### 401(k) Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) Plan which is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan pursuant to which all of our full-time and part-time employees are eligible to contribute the lesser of up to 75% of their annual salary or the limit prescribed by law to the 401(k) Plan on a before-tax basis. In addition, participants age 50 or over may contribute additional before-tax amounts up to the annual catch-up contribution limit determined by the IRS and any participant may contribute rollover amounts from certain other qualified plans. Participants may also receive matching contributions, payable in cash, in an amount equal to 100% of their before-tax contributions to the 401(k) Plan up to a maximum matching contribution of 6% of their base salaries and cash bonus. The Company adopted an auto-enrollment process for new employees which results in the employees participating in the 401(k) plan unless they determine not to participate.

Participants are 100% vested in all contributions to the 401(k) Plan. In addition to the other investment options available under the 401(k) Plan, participants may invest all or a portion of their 401(k) Plan account in our common stock. The 401(k) Plan investment options for 2022 are listed in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.*"

#### Other Benefits
We provide certain other limited personal benefits that the Compensation Committee has determined are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee believes that these benefits are consistent with those provided to executive officers of our Peer Group companies, are an important retention factor and are in accordance with general compensation practices in our industry. Moreover, the Compensation Committee considers the cost and value of any such benefits as additional cash compensation when calculating the total cash compensation for purposes of determining the performance adjusted amount of long-term equity incentive compensation to award to our NEOs. We offer medical, dental, vision and life insurance and disability benefits to all eligible employees. We also provide our NEOs with the following benefits: (i) supplemental disability plans and (ii) reimbursement for approved spousal travel expenses related to Company business. We only provide club membership dues reimbursement and reimbursement of certain expenses to certain of our executives to the extent such membership dues and expenses are related to the conduct of our business. The Compensation Committee believes these particular benefits help our executives to network and foster relationships in the oil and gas industry and community that are valuable and important to our Company. Any executive must reimburse us for any personal club use or use by a family member.

Effective fourth quarter 2017 to facilitate an orderly management succession process, we implemented a post-retirement benefit plan to assist in providing health care to officers who are active employees (including their spouses) and have met certain age and service requirements. These benefits are not funded in advance and are provided up to age 65 or on the date they become eligible for Medicare, subject to various cost-sharing features. In combination with the implementation of this succession plan enhancement, certain officers that qualify for the post-retirement benefit plan are fully vested in all equity grants after one year of service following the grant date. Beginning January 1, 2023 officers will qualify for this benefit based on age of 55 plus 10 years of service or age of 65 plus 5 years of service.

#### Change in Control Arrangements
There are no employment agreements currently in effect between us and any employee. None of our employees are covered under any general severance plan. In the event an executive terminates employment, any severance benefits payable would be determined by the Compensation Committee at its discretion, unless such termination occurred following a change in control, in which case severance may be payable pursuant to the Range Resources Corporation Amended and Restated Executive Change in Control Severance Benefit Plan (the "Management CIC Plan").

The Management CIC Plan was adopted in March 2005. Pursuant to the Management CIC Plan, all our corporate officers and certain other employees selected by the Compensation Committee (the "Management Group") may be entitled to receive certain payments and benefits if there is a "Change in Control" of the Company and a member of the Management Group is terminated other than for "Cause" or resigns for "Good Reason" within the "Protection Period." The terms Change in Control, Cause, Good Reason, and Protection Period, as used in the Management CIC Plan, are defined in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Potential Payments upon Termination and Change in Control.*" If a member of the Management Group is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason within the Protection Period, that participant will receive:

• a lump sum payment equal to (i) the participant's "benefit multiple" multiplied by (ii) the sum of (A) the average of the bonuses paid or awarded to the participant for the three prior fiscal years or the individual's current year target bonus, whichever is higher, plus (B) the participant's base salary; and

• for a period of years equal to the participant's "benefit multiple," continued participation in any medical, dental, life, disability, and any other insurance arrangement for the participant (and, if applicable, the participant's spouse and eligible children) in which such person(s) were participating immediately prior to (i) the date of the participant's termination as determined under the Management CIC Plan, or, if greater, (ii) the occurrence of the Change in Control.

The "benefit multiples" applicable to the NEOs in 2022 were as follows: Mr. Ventura – three; Mr. Scucchi – three; Mr. Degner – three, Mr. Poole – three and Mr. Farquharson - three. In addition, any non-vested equity based compensation awards held by each participant vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. A more detailed description of these provisions is provided in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled "*Potential Payments upon Termination and Change in Control.*"

---

#### Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices
Although the majority of the executive compensation program pay is performance-based, the Compensation Committee believes the program does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking. The Compensation Committee believes that any potential risk of the executive compensation program influencing behavior that could be inconsistent with the overall interests of Range and its stockholders is mitigated by several factors, including:

• Program elements use both annual and longer-term performance periods;

• Use of a transparent, external performance metric, TSR, for a large portion of the long-term incentive program opportunity for the CEO, CFO and COO;

• Relative nature of the TSR performance measure, which minimizes the impact that volatile commodity prices have on Range's TSR award;

• Forfeiture and recoupment provisions for awards in the event of violations of Range's Code of Business Conduct;

• Payouts of long-term incentive awards that are 100% in stock rather than cash; and

• Meaningful stock ownership guidelines for executives that encourage a long-term perspective.

#### Impact of Prior Equity Awards on Current Awards – No Repricing or Cash Buyouts
Each year, the Compensation Committee grants long-term equity incentive awards based on the prior year's relative performance of the Company to the Peer Group and generally applies a three-year cliff vesting to such awards for retention purposes. Because the equity grants are determined annually based on the Company's actual performance for the year for which the compensation is being paid, the Compensation Committee does not feel it is appropriate to consider past awards and adjust compensation (including long-term equity awards). Likewise, the Committee has a practice that it does not compensate employees with additional amounts of pay if the value of prior grants of long-term equity awards is lower than valued at the time of the grant, thus the Committee does not re-price equity awards or pay cash buy outs for equity awards that are not "in the money." In this way, the Committee believes that the actual performance of the Company directly affects the employee's compensation actually received from the equity award. The Committee's philosophy in this regard is the same with the use of Performance Units, including the fact that such awards are intentionally designed such that the payout varies between 0% to 200% of the number of shares initially awarded.

#### Tax Deductibility of Compensation
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that was signed into law in December 2017, expands the definition of what types of compensation are subject to the $1,000,000 limitation under Section 162(m) to include performance-based compensation and includes the CFO as a covered employee. In addition, the new rule expands the definition of a "covered employee" to include any individuals who have previously been a covered employee for any years after December 31, 2016. Thus, once an individual is identified as one of the top 5 covered employees, the $1,000,000 deduction limitation applies to compensation paid to that individual, even after the individual no longer holds that position or has separated from service.

#### Financial Restatement/Clawback Policy
The Board of Directors' policy is that the Compensation Committee, to the extent permitted by governing law, retains the sole and absolute authority to make retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our executives where the payment of such amounts was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement. Where applicable, we will seek to recover (or "clawback") any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by an individual.

#### Grant Timing
The Compensation Committee does not time, nor has the Compensation Committee in the past timed, equity grants in coordination with the release of material non-public information. Instead, we grant equity at the time or times dictated by our normal compensation process as developed by the Compensation Committee.

None of our employees have attempted to time long-term equity incentive award grants by making grant recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Certain executives are authorized to make requests to the Compensation Committee regarding awards for new personnel as part of the hiring process, to existing employees who are promoted or where market conditions could reduce our ability to retain key employees. However, these are market driven occurrences and not timing issues, and such executives only provide recommendations that may or may not be approved by the Compensation Committee.

#### Stock Ownership Requirements for Executive Officers
Each officer listed below is expected to own a number of our shares with a value that is a multiple of the officer's current base salary:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Position** | **Multiple** |
| Chief Executive Officer | 5.0 x base salary  |
| Executive Vice President | 4.0 x base salary |
| Senior Vice President | 3.0 x base salary  |

---

Unless the officer has achieved the required level of share ownership, the officer is required to retain an amount equal to 50% of the net shares received as a result of any equity awards granted to the officer by the Company until he or she is in compliance with the stock ownership policy. An officer must continue to retain shares in the amount required for as long as the officer is subject to the policy. As of the date of this proxy statement, all of the senior officers satisfy the ownership requirement. The requirement to retain 50% was established to allow limited sales as necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

**Pay Versus Performance** 

As discussed in the CD&A, our Compensation Committee has implemented an executive compensation program designed to link a substantial portion of our NEOs realized compensation to the achievement of our financial, operational and strategic objectives and to align our executive pay with changes in the value of our stockholders investments. We have identified Net Debt as our Company-Selected Measure that represents, in our view, the most important financial measure used to link Compensation Actually Paid ("CAP") to our performance in 2022. We believe our debt levels are important to our stockholders and our ability to reduce those debt levels is through generating higher cash flows and our focus on efficient operations. The following sets forth additional compensation information for our NEOs, calculated in accordance with SEC regulations for the fiscal years 2022, 2021, 2020:

**Pay-For-Performance Alignment** 

The following table identifies the five most important financial and non-financial measures used by our Compensation Committee to link the "Compensation Actually Paid" to our CEO and other NEOs in 2022. The role of each of these performance measures is more fully discussed in the CD&A starting on page 31 of this proxy statement.

The charts below reflect that the CAP over the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 aligns to the trend in our TSR, net income (loss) and net debt results over the same period. CAP, as required under SEC rules, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions and projected performance modifiers but does not reflect actual amounts paid out for those awards. CAP generally fluctuates due to stock price acheivements and projected and actual achievement of performance goals.

**CAP Versus Total Stockholder Return**![](im1697741069n802645919.jpg)

Over the three year period from 2020 to 2022, our TSR was trending in a similar manner as the TSR for our peer group but for all years, our TSR outpaced that of our peers.

**CAP Versus Net Income (Loss)**![](im1092717009x1996002034.jpg)

SEC rules require net income be presented as a performance measure in the Pay versus Performance table above. As the table illustrates, changes in CAP for our CEO and remaining NEOs are not necessarily aligned with performance on net income as a financial performance measure. We believe this result is due, in part, to the impact changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement on our reported net income for a particular period. The year ended December 31, 2020 also includes the impact of the sale of our North Louisiana properties. Net income is not a metric in our Annual Cash Incentive or our Long-Term Incentive plans so it is not directly correlated to CAP.

**CAP Versus Net Debt**![](im3934570943n434387997.jpg)

We continue to focus on generating cash flow through controlling costs and operational efficiencies. Net debt, as shown on the table above, has declined $1.2 billion since December 31, 2020. This significant improvement contributed to the increase in CAP over the three year period. CAP for 2021 and 2022 was impacted by the significant increase in our stock price in both years.

**CEO Pay Ratio of 46 to 1** 

Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we have prepared a comparison of the annual total compensation of Mr. Ventura, our Chief Executive Officer and President, for fiscal year 2022 to the median of annual total compensation of all other Company employees for the same period.

We identified the median employee for this review by examining the 2022 annual total compensation for all employees, excluding our Chief Executive Officer, who were employed by us on December 31, 2022 because it allowed us to make the identification in a reasonably efficient manner. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time, or seasonal basis. For this purpose and using reasonable estimates, the calculation of annual total compensation of all employees, excluding our Chief Executive Officer, was determined by using the wages and compensation similar to the salary components used to determine Mr. Ventura's total compensation. We chose this method because it is readily available in our existing payroll system, it is determined on a consistent basis for each employee, and because we believe it is a reasonable proxy for total compensation for purposes of determining the median employee. We annualized the compensation for any employee that was not employed by us for all of 2022. For the total annual compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, we used the "Total Compensation" shown for Mr. Ventura in the "Summary Compensation Table" on page 51 of this Proxy Statement.

Following our review, we have determined that for 2022:

• the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $172,000;

• the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above was $7.9 million; and

• as a result, we estimate Mr. Ventura's 2022 annual total compensation was approximately 46 times that of our median employee.

The above determination is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their comparison to the ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

As of December 31, 2022, the Time-Based Restricted Stock granted to certain of our NEOs in 2022 has a one year vesting requirement because the NEO qualified, based on age and years of service, for our post-retirement benefit plan which was intended to improve our management succession plan. Performance-Based Restricted Stock grants continue to be reported in the Outstanding Equity Awards table above because the performance condition has not been satisfied. However, if an NEO is terminated involuntarily for cause, the Time-Based Restricted Stock would be forfeited by him.

**## ■ Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan**

Generally, our NEOs elect at the time they make their compensation deferrals into the deferred compensation plan whether to receive our matching contribution under such plan in cash or in the form of our common stock. Matching contributions up to 10% of our NEOs base salary paid during the calendar year generally vest at the end of the third-year from when the match is awarded. Separate deferral elections may be made with respect to our NEOs bonus and salary. To the extent that our NEOs elected to receive a Matching Award, vesting of the Matching Award for 2020 through 2022 is reflected as to each respective NEO in the "Options Exercised and Stock Vested" table above. If our NEO qualifies for our post-retirement benefit plan, their Matching Award is vested at the end of the year granted. Starting in 2022, if our NEO qualifies for our post-retirement benefit plan, the Matching Award vests at the end of one year.

All such Time-Based Restricted Stock and Matching Awards are automatically contributed as discretionary contributions to our Deferred Compensation Plan. Therefore, upon the vesting of any such awards, any appreciation or depreciation in value that would otherwise be realized is deferred under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan and will be distributed pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan as described below.

The Compensation Committee may elect to make discretionary contributions to our Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of our NEOs. These contributions may be made in the form of the matching contributions described above. Any such discretionary contributions generally will be subject to vesting and any other terms specified by the Compensation Committee. Beginning in 2021, vesting will occur at the end of the third year from when the match was awarded. In addition, our NEOs will become fully vested in the matching contributions upon death or disability (as defined in the Deferred Compensation Plan). Our NEOs will forfeit all discretionary or matching contributions, irrespective of the attainment of age 65, disability or death, if their employment with the Company terminates for gross misconduct or if they engage in unlawful business competition with the Company. As of December 31, 2022, all of our NEOs except Mr. Scucchi and Mr. Degner have a one year vesting requirement.

Amounts contributed to the deferred compensation plan and earnings thereon are contributed to a rabbi trust, which is a grantor trust the assets of which may only be used to pay benefits under the deferred compensation plan or to satisfy the claims of our creditors in the event of our insolvency. Thus, we have set aside the assets to fund the benefits payable under the deferred compensation plan. Our NEOs are entitled to direct the benchmark for returns on their deferred compensation generally in similar investment funds as are offered under our 401(k) Plan. However, Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards and Matching Awards may not be transferred out of our common stock until vesting of such awards.

Benefits under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be paid at the time and form as previously specified by our NEOs in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Such amounts may be paid in the form of a single lump sum payment or annual installments over a period of up to 10 years. Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards and Matching Awards contributed to the Deferred Compensation Plan may be paid in shares of our common stock, with fractional shares in cash at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Each of our NEOs may change the time and/or form of payment, by making an election with the plan administrator at least one year before the date his/her Deferred Compensation Plan accounts would be paid in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Any such subsequent deferral election must delay our NEOs' benefit commencement date by at least five years. In addition, the Deferred Compensation Plan permits our NEOs to obtain an earlier distribution in the event of "Hardship," as defined under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Beginning in 2023, Time-Based restricted stock grants will not be contributed to the deferred compensation plan.

In the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table, Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards granted during 2022 are valued at the grant value fair value in accordance with current accounting guidance. Matching Awards are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table (as "All Other Compensation") during the year such awards are contributed to our deferred compensation plan, although such awards may be subject to future vesting.

## Potential Payments upon Termination and Change in Control
There are no employment agreements currently in effect between us and any of our NEOs. Our NEOs are not covered under any general severance plan. In the event any NEO terminates employment, any severance benefits payable would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion, unless termination occurred following a Change in Control, in which case severance may be payable pursuant to our Management CIC Plan.

Under the Management CIC Plan members of our Management Group, including our NEOs, may be entitled to receive certain payments and benefits if there is a Change in Control and a member of the Management Group is terminated other than for Cause or resigns for Good Reason (each an "Involuntary Termination" with individual terms defined below). These potential severance payments are considered "double-trigger" change in control arrangements, as a termination alone, or a Change in Control alone, will not result in severance payments becoming due; the termination of employment and the Change in Control event must occur together prior to amounts becoming due under the Management CIC Plan. Specifically under our Management CIC Plan, if a member of our Management Group leaves the Company as a result of an Involuntary Termination during the Protection Period, the participant will receive (a) a lump sum cash payment equal to (i) such person's Benefit Multiple (which is set forth in the table below with respect to our NEOs) multiplied by (ii) the sum of (A) the participant's Base Salary (as defined below) plus (B) the participant's Bonus (collectively, the "Cash Payment"), and (b) for a period of years equal to the participant's Benefit Multiple (but not beyond the end of the second calendar year following the year in which the Involuntary Termination occurred), continued participation in any medical, dental, life, disability or any other insurance arrangement for the benefit of the participant (and his/her spouse and eligible children, if applicable) in which such person(s) were participating immediately prior to the date of the participant's Involuntary Termination, or, if greater, the occurrence of the Change in Control (the "Continued Benefits").

The Cash Payment will be paid as soon as practicable following a member of our Management Group's termination, and in all events not later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination, unless payment is required to be delayed for six months from the date of termination to prevent additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. Further, the receipt of Continued Benefits is conditioned on the member of our Management Group paying to our Company the same premium amount for such benefits as such participant was required to pay prior to his termination, and the Continued Benefits will be limited and reduced to the extent that comparable coverage that does not result in greater out-of-pocket expenses to such participant is provided or available to such participant. Our Management CIC Plan does not provide for any Cash Payments or Continued Benefits in the event a member of our Management Group is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined below). A discussion of the Benefit Multiple selected for each of our NEOs can be found below.

Our Management CIC Plan also provides that, upon a Change in Control, all non-vested long-term equity incentive awards held by members of our Management Group, including our NEOs, will vest. In addition, any long-term equity-incentive awards that vest and that provide for exercise by the participant will remain exercisable following an Involuntary Termination or any termination due to death or Disability on or after a Change in Control for the lesser of (i) the remaining term of the award or (ii) one year following the latest to occur of (A) the participant's termination of employment, (B) in the event of a termination of employment in anticipation of a Change in Control, the actual occurrence of or consummation of such Change in Control, or (C) in the event of a Change in Control as a result of approval by the stockholders of our Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or an acquisition of the assets or stock of another corporation, the consummation of such transaction. Following a termination of employment that is not an Involuntary Termination or a termination due to death or disability, other than a termination for Cause, any long-term equity-incentive award that vests and that provides for exercise by the participant will be exercisable for the lesser of (i) the remaining term of the award or (ii) 30 days following such termination of employment. Upon a termination of employment for Cause, any long-term equity-incentive awards will terminate and no longer be exercisable at the time of a final determination that Cause exists.

In connection with the delivery of the Cash Payments under our Management CIC Plan, each member of our Management Group is required to execute and deliver to us a release that generally releases and discharges our Company (and its related entities and agents) from any and all claims (with certain limited exceptions) existing at any time prior to execution of the release. Our Management CIC Plan also contains non-disparagement provisions pursuant to which each member of our Management Group and our Company have agreed not to disparage one another during the term of such person's employment and thereafter. Violation of the non-disparagement provisions entitles the wronged party to complete relief including injunctive relief, damages, and/or termination or return of payments made under our Management CIC Plan.

The Management CIC Plan also provides for the payment of a tax-gross up to members of our Management Group, including our NEOs, in the event that Change in Control Payments would result in excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code. This tax gross-up has been eliminated for employees who become an officer of the Company after November 2014. All of our NEOs were officers of the Company in 2014. Beginning in 2022, the Compensation Committee made a decision to have a "best net" policy rather than gross-up to the executive to cover excise taxes that may apply in the event of a Change in Control. Under a "best net" policy, in the event that benefit is provided, when aggregated with any other payments or benefits received by the covered executive, would constitute a "parachute payment" and would be subject to excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the aggregate benefits will be delivered in full or delivered in a lesser amount that would result in no portion of the aggregate benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the receipt by the executive of the greatest amount of aggregate benefits on an after-tax basis.

(v) "Base Salary" means the annual gross rate of pay, including vacation and holiday pay, sick leave compensation, and any amounts reduced and contributed to an employee benefit plan of our Company in effect immediately prior to the member's termination date or the occurrence of the Change in Control, but does not include any bonus, incentive pay, overtime, auto or travel allowance, or any other benefits or special allowances;

(vi) "Bonus" means the higher of (1) the average annual bonus awards paid to the member of our Management Group for the three prior fiscal years immediately prior to (A) the member's termination date or, if greater (B) the occurrence of the Change in Control; or (2) the target bonus amount for the year of the occurrence of the Change in Control.

(vii) "Disability" means a member of our Management Group (A) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of 12 months; or, (B) is, by reason of such a physical or mental impairment, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering our employees.

(viii) Benefit Multiple. The Compensation Committee determined the "benefit multiple" applicable to the NEOs based on the payment multiples for comparable positions with the companies in the Peer Group. The three times multiple selected for our CEO is the dominant multiple used by members of the Peer Group for comparable positions. Similarly, the "benefit multiples" for our other corporate officers were set at two times. In early 2020, the benefit multiples for senior vice presidents were set at three times.

(ix) Tax Reimbursement. The Management CIC Plan as adopted included a tax gross up provision which provides for the payment to participants if amounts payable under the Management CIC Plan or payable pursuant to other arrangements between the participant and the Company (the "Change in Control Payments") would result in excess parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code and entitles the participant to receive an amount equal to (i) any excise tax that would be imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "4999 Excise Tax") with respect to the Change in Control Payments, (ii) federal, state, and local taxes applicable to payment of the 4999 Excise Tax and (iii) any additional 4999 Excise Tax amounts that are assessed by reason of payment of the tax payments. The Committee recognizes that tax gross ups are disfavored and, while the Management CIC Plan has not been revised since December 2008, the Committee re-evaluated whether to limit or eliminate the gross up provision. After consulting with A&M regarding the effect of the change to add performance-based shares as a substantial part of the equity awards to executives and the fact that the use of performance-based shares creates a potential for the senior executives to incur significant 4999 Excise Tax where prior to the use of performance–based shares there would have been no 4999 Excise Tax liability, the Committee determined to eliminate the rights under the gross up provision for any employee who becomes an officer after the Committee's action. See also discussion above for 2022 change to "best net" policy.

The following table reflects the estimated payments due to each of our NEOs as of December 31, 2022, assuming, as applicable, that a Change in Control occurred and each of our NEOs were terminated without Cause effective December 31, 2022. For these purposes, our common stock price was assumed to be $25.02 which was the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2022. The amounts below have been calculated using assumptions that we believe are reasonable. For purposes of the Section 280G calculation, it is assumed that no amounts will be treated as attributable to reasonable compensation and no value will be attributed to our NEO executing a non-compete agreement. The amount of the 4999 Excise Tax gross-up, if any, will change based upon when the NEO's employment with our Company is actually terminated because the amount of compensation subject to Section 280G of the Code will change. Any actual payments that may be made pursuant to the arrangements described above are dependent on various factors, which may or may not exist at the time a Change in Control actually occurs and any of our NEOs are actually terminated.

Our employees who are not covered by our Management CIC Plan (the "Employee Group") may be entitled to receive certain change in control payments under the Range Resources Corporation Amended and Restated Employee Change in Control Severance Benefit Plan (the "Employee CIC Plan") upon an involuntary termination of employment by us for other than Cause or if an employee resigns for Good Reason. If any employee in the Employee Group is terminated by us, other than for Cause or resigns for Good Reason, within the Protection Period, the employee will receive a lump sum payment (the "Employee Payment") equal to one-half of the sum of his or her Base Salary and Bonus. The same definitions used in our Management CIC Plan are used in our Employee CIC Plan.

Our deferred compensation plan does provide for tax gross-up payments in certain limited circumstances. Specifically, a tax gross-up may be payable if all or a portion of a participant's deferred compensation plan account is paid prior to the date the participant otherwise elected to receive such payment (without the consent of the participant or his or her beneficiary) as a result of (i) the participant's termination of employment within 24 months of a Change in Control (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), (ii) the amendment of our deferred compensation plan in connection with a Change in Control, or (iii) the termination of our deferred compensation plan in connection with a Change in Control.

The participant will be entitled to a gross-up with respect to any portion of such payments that are subject to Section 409A of the Code. The balance of the accounts of our NEOs under the Deferred Compensation Plan as of December 31, 2022 is set forth in column (f) of the Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

## Other Post-Employment Payments
Upon the death, disability (which definition is the same as the definition under the Management CIC Plan) or retirement of a NEO or any other employee, certain unvested Time-Based Stock Awards and Performance-Based Stock Awards vest under the terms of the award grant. Upon Disability, all employees are covered under a group compensation continuation plan. The group disability coverage provides for compensation continuance of 60% of an employee's salary and bonus up to a maximum of $180,000 per year until his or her 65th birthday. All of our NEOs are also covered under supplemental individual executive disability policies. Coverage under these supplemental policies provides monthly cash payments until age 65. The executive disability coverage premium is shown as a perquisite in the Summary Compensation Table in column (i) "All Other Compensation." The following table summarizes the value of the compensation continuation which would be available to each NEO assuming that he became disabled as of December 31, 2022 under the policies currently in effect until he attained the age of 65 years old. The table also summarizes the value of the Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards, Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards and Matching Awards which would vest upon the death/disability, retirement or involuntary termination assuming that such events occurred on December 31, 2022 based on the value of the Company's common stock on that date of $25.02. Retirement is defined as age plus years of service totals 65.

# **PROPOSAL 3** 
ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF PRESENTATION OF SAY ON PAY TO STOCKHOLDERS

In addition to an advisory Say on Pay vote, stockholders also have the right to an advisory vote every six years with regard to whether they would prefer an advisory Say on Pay vote every year, every two years or every three years. The second such vote was received by the Company at its annual meeting in May 2017, at which time a majority of stockholders voted in favor of the submission of the Say on Pay vote annually. The Company has had a Say on Pay vote at each annual meeting of the stockholders since the annual meeting in May 2017.

The Board of Directors recommends that an advisory Say on Pay vote continue to be held at each annual meeting of stockholders. Allowing our stockholders to submit an advisory Say on Pay vote every year allows for the most frequent input of stockholders, and provides the Company with more immediate feedback regarding executive compensation.

**We are therefore asking stockholders to vote on the following resolution:** 

RESOLVED, that the stockholders be provided an opportunity to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation philosophy, policies and procedures described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, and the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, including the compensation tables every:

• Three years

• Two years

• One year

• Abstain

## Required Vote and Recommendation
**As an advisory vote, the matter for which stockholders have the opportunity to vote under Proposal 3 is non-binding. The option of one year, two years, or three years receiving the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been selected by the stockholders. Although the vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions.** 

**If you own shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must instruct them how to vote so that your vote can be counted on this proposal as uninstructed shares are not entitled to vote with regard to Proposal 3.**

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the 2023 Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to address the stockholders at the Meeting if they desire to do so. Such representatives are also expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

## Required Vote and Recommendation

Abstentions have the effect of negative votes on this proposal.

## Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors oversees the company's financial reporting on behalf of the Board. Management is responsible for the system of internal controls and for preparing financial statements. Ernst & Young LLP, the company's independent registered public accountants, are responsible for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and the fair presentation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee is composed of independent directors and operates in accordance with a charter approved by the Board of Directors, which is available at www.rangeresources.com. The charter sets forth the Audit Committee's responsibilities, which are summarized under "Board Committees" on page 22. The committee reviews its charter annually and, when appropriate, makes recommendations for changes to the Board.

#### 2022 Actions of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee met seven times during 2022 and met in executive session after each of those meetings. At these meetings, the Audit Committee met with internal audit and the independent auditor with and without management present.

During 2022, the Audit Committee met with management, Ernst & Young LLP and internal auditors and among other things:

• reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP, our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly unaudited financial statements included in quarterly reports on Form 10-Q prior to filing with the SEC;

• discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP, accounting policies and management's application of those policies as they relate to the Company's financial results, significant judgments inherent in the financial statements, disclosures, and other matters required by generally accepted auditing standards;

• discussed with Ernst & Young LLP all matters and communications required to be discussed by applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") standards, including matters related to independence, received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by the PCAOB regarding their independence and "critical audit matters" identified by the Ernst & Young LLP arising from the audit of the Company's financial statements;

• reviewed and discussed with management the processes undertaken to evaluate the accuracy and fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our systems of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;

• reviewed and discussed with management, the internal auditor, and Ernst & Young LLP, management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and Ernst & Young LLP's opinion about the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;

• reviewed and discussed matters related to risk, risk controls and compliance and inquired about significant financial risk exposures, assessed the steps management is taking to mitigate these risks, and reviewed our policies for risk assessment and risk management;

• reviewed and assessed the overall adequacy and effectiveness of our legal, regulatory and ethical compliance programs, including concerns raised on the company's whistleblower reporting system;

• reviewed our tax strategies and the implications of tax law changes; and

• reviewed with the general counsel regulatory and legal matters that may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or internal control over financial reporting.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of auditing or accounting, including in respect of independent registered public accounting firm independence. Members of the Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) or that Ernst & Young LLP is, in fact, "independent."

#### Assessment of Independent Registered Public Accountants
The Audit Committee reviews the scope of and overall plans for the annual audit and negotiates fees and approves the other terms of Ernst & Young LLP's engagement letter. The Audit Committee also oversees the periodic required rotation of the lead audit partner, as required by SEC rules, and is directly involved in the selection of such partner. The Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves the fees of the independent auditor for audit, audit-related, tax and permissible non-audit services.

The Audit Committee discussed with Ernst & Young LLP their independence from management and the company and considered the compatibility of all non-audit services with the auditors' independence. The Audit Committee also assessed the qualifications and performance of Ernst & Young LLP in determining whether to retain them. In conducting this assessment, the Audit Committee considered, among other things: information relating to audit effectiveness, including the results of PCAOB inspection reports; the depth and expertise of the audit team, including their demonstrated understanding of the company's businesses, significant accounting practices, and system of internal control over financial reporting; the quality and candor of Ernst & Young LLP's communications with the Audit Committee and management; the accessibility, responsiveness, technical competence, and professionalism

of the lead audit partner and other members of the audit team assigned to our account; the impact to the Company of changing auditors; the appropriateness of Ernst & Young LLP's fees; and Ernst & Young LLP's ability to employ professional skepticism, objectivity, integrity, and trustworthiness.

The Audit Committee reviewed the audited December 31, 2022 financial statements of the Company with management and the independent registered public accountants. Management represented to the committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In reliance on the reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC. Based on its assessment and review as described in this report, the Audit Committee has determined that selecting Ernst & Young LLP as independent registered public accountants for 2023 is in the best interest of the company and its stockholders. The Board has unanimously proposed that the stockholders ratify this selection at the Annual Meeting.

## Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures
The Audit Committee must give prior approval to any management request for any amount or type of service (audit, audit-related and tax services or to the extent permitted by law, non-audit services) our independent registered public accounting firm provides. All audit, audit-related and tax services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP in 2022 were approved by our Audit Committee before Ernst & Young LLP was engaged for such services. No services of any kind were approved pursuant to a waiver permitted pursuant to 17 CFR 210.2-01(c)(7)(i)(C). Consultation and approval of such services for 2022 occurred during the regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee or by other means of communication between management and the Audit Committee.

# OTHER BUSINESS
The Company knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting, but should any other matters be properly brought before the Meeting, it is intended that the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote such proxy at their discretion with regard to such matters.

# STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2024 ANNUAL MEETING
Any stockholder desiring to present a stockholder proposal at our 2024 annual meeting and to have the proposal included in our proxy statement must send it to our Corporate Secretary at 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 so that it is received on or before December 1, 2023. All such proposals should be in compliance with the SEC regulations and our by-laws. We will only include in the proxy materials those stockholder proposals that we receive before the deadline and that are proper for stockholder action.

In addition, in accordance with our by-laws, any stockholder entitled to vote at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders may propose business (other than proposals to be included in our proxy statement and proxy as discussed in the preceding paragraph) to be included on the agenda of, and properly presented for action at, the 2024 annual meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent is given in accordance with the requirements of our by-laws. Such proposals must be submitted in writing and addressed to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102, no later than February 8, 2024 and no earlier than January 9, 2024. Pursuant to Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act, our Board of Directors may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies solicited by it with respect to any matter properly presented by a stockholder at the 2024 annual meeting that the stockholder does not seek to have included in our proxy statement if (except as described in the following sentence) the proxy statement discloses the nature of the matter and how our Board of Directors intends to exercise its discretion to vote on such matter, unless we are notified of the proposal on or before February 8, 2024, and the stockholder satisfies the other requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2). If we first receive notice of such matter after February 8, 2024, and the matter nonetheless is permitted to be presented at the 2024 annual meeting, our Board of Directors may exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to any such matter without including any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement for the 2024 annual meeting. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with the requirements described above and other applicable requirements.

# FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

## Proxy Materials and Voting Information
**1.** 

### Why did I receive these proxy materials?
We are providing these materials in connection with the solicitation by Range's Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at our 2023 Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

The Meeting will be held telephonically on May 10, 2023, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and you will need to register virtually to attend the Meeting.

**2.** 

### What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with Range's registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services LLC, you are a stockholder of record with respect to these shares. If, as is more typical, your shares are held in a brokerage account or by your bank, broker or other third party, you are the *beneficial* owner of these shares.

**Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares unless you obtain a proxy from the broker, trustee or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares.**

**3.** 

### What shares are included on the proxy card?
If you are a stockholder of record, you will receive only one proxy card for all the shares you hold of record in certificate form and in book-entry form.

If you are a Range employee, you will receive a proxy or voting instruction card for all the shares you may hold in the Range 401(k) Plan. Your proxy card will serve as a voting instruction card for the Plan trustee. If you do not specify your voting instructions on the proxy card, the Plan trustee will vote your shares in the same proportion as it votes shares for which it did receive timely instructions. **To allow sufficient time for voting by the trustee, your voting instructions must be received no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 7, 2023.**

**4.** 

### What different methods can I use to vote?
**Voting In Person.** You will be able to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. You will be instructed at the beginning of the call how to vote your shares.

**By Written Proxy.** All stockholders of record can vote by written proxy card. If you are a stockholder of record and receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials, you may request a written proxy card by following the instructions included in the notice. If you are a beneficial owner, you may request a written proxy card or a voting instruction form from your bank, broker or other nominee.

**By Telephone or Internet.** All stockholders of record can vote by calling the toll-free telephone number on the proxy card. Please have your proxy card when you call. Voice prompts will direct you on how to vote your shares and will confirm that your voting instructions have been recorded properly.

Stockholders of record may also vote by accessing the website or the QR Code noted on the proxy card. Please have your proxy card when you go to the website.

Beneficial owners may vote by telephone or Internet if their bank, broker or other nominee makes those methods available, in which case the bank, broker or other nominee will include the instructions with the proxy materials.

**Default Voting.** A proxy that is properly completed and returned will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions on the proxy. If you properly complete and return a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, your shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Meeting. If we propose to adjourn the Meeting, proxy holders will vote all shares for which they have voting authority in favor of adjournment. Our Board knows of no matters other than those stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and described in the Proxy Statement to be presented for consideration at the Meeting.

**6.** 

### What if I am a beneficial owner and do not give voting instructions to my broker?
As a beneficial owner, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like, you must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee. If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, whether your shares can be voted by such person depends on the type of item being considered to vote.

**Non-Discretionary Items.** The election of directors, the advisory vote to approve executive compensation and the advisory vote to approve frequency of say on pay vote, are non-discretionary items and may not be voted on by brokers, banks or other nominees who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners.

**Discretionary Items.** The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Auditors is a discretionary item. Generally, banks, brokers and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners may vote on the proposal at their discretion.

**7.** 

### How are abstentions and broker non-votes counted?
**Proposal 1. Election of Directors.** If you abstain from voting in the election of directors, you have not cast a vote and the abstention will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election. Broker non-votes are not considered a vote cast under our by-laws and will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

**Proposal 2. Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation.** If you abstain from voting on the advisory vote to approve executive compensation, you are considered present and entitled to vote, and your shares are considered in the calculation of whether Proposal 2 received the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote. The effect of an abstention is a vote against Proposal 2. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2 because broker non-votes are not entitled to vote and are not considered in the calculation of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote.

**Proposal 3. Frequency Advisory Vote.** If you abstain from voting on the advisory vote to approve the frequency of say on pay, you have not cast a vote and the abstention will not be counted in determining the outcome of the election. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 3 because Broker non-votes are not entitled to vote.

**Proposal 4. Ratification of Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Auditors.** If you abstain from voting on the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as Range's independent auditors, you are considered present and entitled to vote, and your shares are considered in the calculation of whether Proposal 4 received the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote. The effect of an abstention is a vote against Proposal 4. Because Proposal 4 is a routine matter on which a broker has discretionary authority, no broker non-votes likely will result from this Proposal.

### What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?
You may revoke your proxy prior to the completion of voting by:

• Giving written notice to Range's Corporate Secretary; or

• Delivering a valid, later-dated proxy or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet in a timely manner.

If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or by other nominee and deliver voting instructions to the record holder of those shares, you may only revoke the voting of those shares in accordance with your instruction if the record holder revokes the original proxy as directed above and either resubmits a proxy reflecting your voting instructions or delivers to you a legal proxy giving you the right to vote the shares.

**9.** 

### Can I access the proxy materials on the Internet? How can I sign up for the electronic proxy delivery service?
We are distributing our proxy materials to certain stockholders via the Internet under the "notice and access" approach permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). On or about March 30, 2023, we will mail to certain of our stockholders a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials with instructions explaining how to access our proxy statement and annual report and how to vote online. If you receive a notice of Internet availability by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you request them by following the instructions for requesting such materials included in the notice of Internet availability.

Even if you do not participate in "notice and access," the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement are available on the Internet at <u>www.proxyvote.com</u>.

### How are proxies solicited, and what is the cost?
We bear all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies. We hired MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to assist with the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $15,000.00 plus expenses. We will reimburse brokers, fiduciaries and custodians for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of common stock.

Our directors, officers and employees also may solicit proxies by mail, telephone and personal contact. They will not receive any additional compensation for these activities.

**13.** 

### What is householding?
As permitted by the Exchange Act, only one copy of this Proxy Statement is being delivered to stockholders residing at the same address, unless the stockholders have notified Range of their desires to receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement. This is known as "householding."

Direct requests for additional copies of the Proxy Statement for the current year or future years to our Corporate Secretary, 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 or our Investor Relations team at (817) 869-4267.

Stockholders of record residing at the same address and currently receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Statement may contact our registrar and transfer agent, Computershare, to request a single copy be mailed in the future.

Beneficial owners should contact their broker or bank.
