Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted a competitive selection process to determine the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Committee invited several international public accounting firms to participate in this process, including BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of this process, the Committee approved the appointment on March 8, 2023 of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, subject to completion of its standard client acceptance procedures. This action dismisses BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to be effective upon the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023.
The reports of BDO on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In connection with the audits of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there were no disagreements with BDO on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BDO, would have caused BDO to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no reportable events of the type listed in paragraphs (A) through (D) of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, except for the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting previously reported in Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2023.

The Company has provided a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that BDO furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether BDO agrees with the above statements. A copy of BDO’s letter, dated March 14, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Effective March 8, 2023, the Board unanimously approved the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm to be effective March 13, 2023. During the most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2021, and 2022, and the subsequent interim periods through March 13, 2023, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with Grant Thornton, LLP with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Grant Thornton that was an important factor considered by the Company in deciding on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter subject to any “disagreement” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
