ATLANTA, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) announced today that its Board of Directors reduced the quarterly cash dividend from $0.10 per share to $0.05 per share.  The dividend will be payable June 10, 2019 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2019.  In light of the uncertainty in the oilfield market, this reduced dividend strengthens our capital structure and enhances our ability to maintain a conservative balance sheet.
