Insiders selling shares below current price could indicate they believe shares are fully valued. Lack of insider buying over the past year is not confidence-inspiring, but high insider ownership suggests management's interests align with shareholders.

Chairman Greg Maxwell expressed excitement over the appointment of Griffie, highlighting his breadth of industry experience and strategic marketing background, which he believes will be beneficial as Range continues to harvest the value of its high-quality Appalachian inventory.
