DRAFT

Dear Rancher Energy Shareholder:

We are the group of concerned shareholders, NSSVVO, referred to in the
Rancher Energy proxy that you might have received. We organized ourselves in the
last 45 days, being very displeased with the current Board of Rancher. We have
requested an annual shareholders' meeting to address our concerns and to allow
us to present our own candidates for directors. As a result, we received your
name and address through Rancher. We have filed the attached Proxy Solicitation
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and we ask that you read and
consider it carefully, as opposed to the Company's Proxy, which you should also
receive. We need your votes for our director candidates and ask you to vote for
us on the YELLOW PROXY. We disagree with the direction of the Company and
believe the current Board is unable to preserve value for the shareholders. As
you know, the share price has fallen from over $3.00 to $0.02 per share.

Two years ago, shareholders invested $84 million in Rancher and its CO2
project. All our expectations were that development would soon start. We believe
Rancher potentially could recover a lot of oil, but sadly, the current
management has not been able to increase oil production. At the same time, money
has been spent on high management salaries, director compensation, and high
office expenses. Additionally, the current management and Board lost major
opportunities to attract senior debt or capital and entered into some burdensome
contracts with the company at risk of failure.

If the NSSVVO candidates are elected, we plan to cut staff, Board fees,
and office expenses first. Next, we intend to try to increase production to
further help Rancher's cash flow. At the same time, we intend to try to
renegotiate some of the burdensome contracts which current management has put in
place. If we are able to remove some of the contractual problems, we believe we
can raise the money to pay off the current short term debt.

This is not a quick and easy task. We believe Rancher is close to total
failure, and there is no guarantee we can succeed. We believe new faces with new
ideas can succeed in turning things around. This is a long term project, but we
believe the oil is there. If we are able to turn the current problems around, we
can again focus on bringing the CO2 to the property and reach for production
goals.

We need your support to elect the NSSVVO candidates as directors as
opposed to retaining the current directors and management.

Two things need to be done to support the NSSVVO candidates as
directors:

1. Carefully VOTE upon and RETURN the YELLOW PROXY in the enclosed
envelope.

2. Immediately, notify your broker, in writing, that you are going to
vote your own shares by written proxy and ask for written confirmation from him.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Jon Nicolaysen at
jnic.rancher@gmail.com.

We believe we will win with your support.

Thank you for your support.
Yours truly,

Jon Nicolaysen

2009 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF
RANCHER ENERGY CORP.

(PRELIMINARY)
PROXY STATEMENT
OF
NICOLAYSEN, STYTSENKO, SOLTAN, VASKEVICH, VAN HOUWENINGE, A.L.
"SID" OVERTON ("NSSVVO")

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY NSSVVO AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials via Internet

NSSVVO has made available the Proxy materials at www.NSSVVOGroup.com. Interested
parties may download the materials from that website.

1. General Information

All NSSVVO group members constitute shareholders of Rancher Energy Corp. or are
business acquaintances of shareholders of Rancher, who are dissatisfied with the
direction, progress, and financial position of the Company and believe that a
Board of Directors change and management change may be in the best interests of
the shareholders of the Company.

NSSVVO made this solicitation, because it believes the Company could be better
managed, in NSSVVO's opinion. Additionally, NSSVVO is highly concerned that
during the three year tenure of the current directors and management, the share
price has fallen from over $3.00 per share to under $0.02 per share.

NSSVVO believes the directors and management are taking excessive compensation
in cash and stock from a Company that is in a dire financial situation, and the
Company continues to lease offices which are expensive considering the financial
position of the Company.

NSSVVO believes the existing Board of Directors and management have negotiated
contracts with burdensome terms with Anadarko Petroleum and Gas Rock Capital
which impair the Company and jeopardize its survival at this time.

The NSSVVO opposition slate of directors is determined to replace the CEO and
possibly all of the top management. The NSSVVO new directors would intend to cut
other expenses such as office expense and to not pay the directors other than
expense reimbursement for some time and to pay the new CEO significantly less
than the current amount being paid.

NSSVVO believes that the current management has lost credibility with industry
partners and potential capital sources. NSSVVO believes that new faces at the
negotiating table can achieve solutions and intend to aggressively seek new
capital. Finally, if NSSVVO can resolve some of the contractual issues resulting
under current management, NSSVVO believes it can raise the money to pay off the
short term debt. Of course, there is no assurance that NSSVVO will be successful
in any of these efforts if elected as Board members.

Background of Contact with Rancher by NSSVVO Group

Jon Nicolaysen of the NSSVVO group requested and was given a shareholder list on
February 11, 2009. On May 5, 2009, Jon Nicolaysen send a fax requesting a
shareholders meeting. Rancher sent back an e-mail acknowledging the request. On
May 6, 2009, Rancher sent an informal acknowledgment of the request and agreed
to discuss holding a shareholders meeting at the Board of Directors meeting.

On May 8, 2009, Rancher suggested a meeting between the Rancher Board and the
NSSVVO group. On May 12, 2009, Rancher notified Nicolaysen that Mark Worthey
would be the Board contact.

On May 13, 2009, Mark Worthey, representing Rancher, and Jon Nicolaysen,
representing the NSSVVO group talked. On May 15, 2009, Nicolaysen faxed a second
request for a shareholders meeting. On May 21, 2009, Rancher's attorneys,
several current Rancher Board members, Nicolaysen, and NSSVVO's attorney had a
conference call. A request for a combined proxy is made.

On May 26, 2009, an e-mail was sent to a Rancher Board member, Nicolaysen, and
the attorneys. On May 27, a Rancher Board member sent an e-mail to schedule call
to discuss matters.

On May 28, 2009, Rancher's attorneys, the a Rancher Board member, Nicolaysen,
and the NSSVVO attorney held a conference call. They discussed the shareholders
meeting, voting, and the proxy. A tentative record date of May 31, 2009 and a
tentative shareholders meeting of July 24, 2009 were discussed.

From May 1 to June 1, 2009, Nicolaysen requested a new shareholders' list from
Rancher. On June 2, 2009, NSSVVO's attorney sent an e-mail to Rancher's
attorneys regarding a combined slate on the proxy. On June 3, 2009, an e-mail
and a letter from Rancher's attorneys to NSSVVO's attorney denying a combined
slate on the proxy, was received.

On June 16, Nicolaysen recruited the NSSVVO Board candidates.

Rancher, through its Board, determined that it would not accept or support any

of the candidates proposed by shareholders, nor would it list them in its Proxy
Statement for the next Annual Meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Nicolaysen and others
listed herein determined to propose an alternative slate of director candidates
to stand for election pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

The Board of Directors of Rancher Energy Corp. (the "Rancher") has rejected a
proposal by NSSVVO to be listed as candidates for election as directors in the
Company's Proxy Statement. NSSVVO is therefore seeking proxies from Rancher
shareholders to vote to install six new directors nominated by NSSVVO.

The Annual Meeting will be held at the principal office of Patton Boggs, LLP
which is located at 1801 California Street, Suite 4900, Denver, Colorado 80202
in late July 2009. We intend to ensure that shareholders are notified of the
date of the Annual Meeting promptly after the date is set by the Company.

NSSVVO IS SOLICITING YOUR PROXY TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE
SHAREHOLDERS, AT WHICH NSSVVO WILL VOTE YOUR PROXY IN FAVOR OF, THE ELECTION OF
SIX NSSVVO CANDIDATES TO FILL SIX BOARD POSITIONS (JON NICOLAYSEN, ANDREI
STYTSENKO, SILVIA SOLTAN, VLADIMIR VASKEVICH, MATHIJS VAN HOUWENINGE, and A.L.
"SID" OVERTON). IF HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE
COMPANY SUBMIT PROXIES IN FAVOR OF THESE CANDIDATES AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, THE
NSSVVO CANDIDATES WILL BE ELECTED AS SIX OF THE DIRECTORS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
If the holders of less than fifty percent of

Rancher's common stock sign and return the enclosed proxies, then the current
directors, who are the Company's nominees, will be retained in office until the
next annual meeting, which may not occur until Summer of 2010.

We are mailing each registered shareholder a copy of this Proxy Statement on or
about ____________________, 2009, and you can obtain the Proxy Statement, and
any other relevant documents, for free at the SEC's web site or from NSSVVO by
calling us at 307-266-1599.

interest adverse to Rancher. None of the candidates have previously been
employed or engaged as an independent contractor by Rancher nor as an officer or
director of Rancher. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of

In 2008, Jon Nicolaysen was reimbursed, at cost, for two fee leases which he
assigned to Rancher as part of the sale and costs associated with getting the
leases. Mr. Nicolaysen was a shareholder and wanted to contribute to the
Company, without compensation, in hope that it would enhance value of the
Company and his stock. The sale took place as part of a package in 2007 but was
not executed until late 2007, and he was reimbursed in 2008.

3. Nomination and Quorum Requirements; Voting Procedures

Election of the NSSVVO candidates to Rancher's Board of Directors under the
terms contemplated by this proxy statement requires (1) the holding of the
Annual Meeting, which Rancher has indicated by its filed Proxy Statement may be
held in late July 2009, and (2) the election of the NSSVVO candidates by
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders at the
Annual Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of holders of at least a
majority of Rancher shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will
constitute a quorum.

Based on publicly available information, NSSVVO believes that Rancher common
stock is the only class of voting shares of Rancher and that all outstanding
shares will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share will be
entitled to one vote. The accompanying proxy will be voted in accordance with
the shareholder's instructions on such proxy. Each shareholder may join with
NSSVVO in the election of the six NSSVVO candidates, or the shareholder may
withhold its vote by failing to return the enclosed proxies. We do not
anticipate that any other business will be conducted at the Annual Meeting, but
if Rancher properly brings additional business before the Annual Meeting or any
adjournment or postponement thereof, we will have discretion to act on those
matters. This will prevent you from exercising your right to vote on such
matters because we will vote for you in our discretion.

NSSVVO URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO SIGN THE ENCLOSED YELLOW PROXIES AND RETURN THEM
PROMPTLY. NSSVVO ALSO URGES YOU TO VOTE FOR ELECTION OF THE NSSVVO CANDIDATES to
bring new Board members with experience and perspectives to the Board to cut
expenses, to renegotiate debt, and to bring new management. If no direction is
given and you return the signed proxy to us, it will be voted for the election
of the NSSVVO candidates. Shares not voted, and shares voted to abstain from the
vote will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the election
of directors, so long as a quorum is present.

According to Rancher's Preliminary 14A filed on June 10, 2009, there were
119,516,723 shares of Rancher common stock outstanding as of June 12, 2009 (the
record date). Based upon NSSVVO's review of publicly available EDGAR filings, to
NSSVVO's knowledge, the shareholders set forth below beneficially owned as of
June 12, 2009, more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Rancher
common stock and the executive officers and directors of Rancher beneficially
owned as of June 12, 2009, the number of shares of Rancher common stock set
forth below. We have no means to determine if, between then and the date of this
proxy statement, any shares have been purchased or sold by the individuals
identified in the table below, except from any public filings.

(1) Under SEC Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person
who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the
power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power,
which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain
shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for
example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).
In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the
person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an
option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In
computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares
outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such
person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a
result, the percentage of

reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number
of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this Proxy
Statement.

4. Voting Your Shares and Revocability of Proxy

You may vote on the proxy even if you have previously voted a proxy provided to
you by Rancher. You may change your vote after you have submitted a proxy - only
your latest dated proxy counts. Execution and delivery of a proxy by a record
holder of shares will be presumed to be a proxy with respect to all shares held
by such record holder on the record date of the Annual Meeting unless the proxy
specifies otherwise. Only holders of record as of the record date of the Annual
Meeting will be entitled to vote. If you are a shareholder of record at the
close of business on the record date, you will retain your voting rights for the
Annual Meeting even if you sell your shares after the record date. Accordingly,
it is important that you grant a proxy to vote the shares held by you on the
record date, even if you sell your shares after the record date.

Your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting is revocable, and you may revoke your
proxy at any

time prior to its exercise by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person
(although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute
revocation of a proxy), by giving oral notice of revocation of your proxy at the
Annual Meeting, or by delivering a written notice of revocation or a duly
executed proxy relating to the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting
and bearing a date later than the date on your signed proxy to the Secretary of
Rancher at 999 18th Street, Suite 3400, Denver, Colorado 80202.

Unless revoked in the manner set forth above, your proxy to demand the Annual
Meeting will be submitted by NSSVVO in connection with its demand for the Annual
Meeting. Your proxy for the election of Directors nominated by NSSVVO at the
Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your
instructions. In the absence of such instructions, your proxy will be voted for
election of the NSSVVO candidates.

PLEASE REVIEW VOTING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ATTACHED YELLOW PROXIES. YOUR VOTE IS
IMPORTANT. WE URGE YOU TO JOIN WITH NSSVVO IN ITS VOTE FOR TO ELECT THE NSSVVO
CANDIDATES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BY SIGNING, DATING, AND RETURNING THE
ENCLOSED YELLOW PROXIES TODAY, BECAUSE NSSVVO BELIEVES THAT IT IS IN THE BEST
FINANCIAL INTERESTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS TO CHANGE THE BOARD AND MANAGEMENT.

If you have any questions about the voting of shares, please call Jon Nicolaysen
at 307-262-0855.

5. Solicitation of Proxies

Proxies will be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile, e-mail, or in person.
Information regarding executive officers, employees, and other representatives
of NSSVVO who may solicit proxies or assist in the solicitation of proxies is
set forth in the table below. We have retained the services of ________________
to assist in obtaining proxies from brokers and nominees of stockholders. The
estimated cost of such services is approximately $9,000 plus out-of-pocket
expenses. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone or
electronically by the NSSVVO candidates who will not receive any additional
compensation for such solicitation. The entire expense of soliciting proxies for
NSSVVO Director Candidates for the Annual Meeting is being borne by NSSVVO.
NSSVVO will not seek reimbursement for such expenses from Rancher. Costs of this
solicitation of proxies are expected to be approximately $30,000, primarily in
legal, solicitation, and mailing costs. Total incurred to date in furtherance of
or in connection with the solicitation of proxies is approximately $10,000.

See the table below for list of potential solicitors and their holdings of
Rancher's common stock.

The table above under Section 2, entitled "NSSVVO Candidates," sets forth the
name and present principal occupation or employment of the individuals known
collectively as NSSVVO who may solicit proxies and who are the NSSVVO Candidates
for director. The business address of each such person is shown. Jon Nicolaysen
is a citizen of the United States. Andrei Stytsenko, Silvia Soltan, and Vladimir
Vaskevich are citizens of Canada. Mathijs van Houweninge is a citizen of The
Netherlands.

To the extent the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting may have an
effect on the future business of Rancher, the individuals identified in the
table may be deemed to have an interest in such matters as a result of their
ownership of shares of Rancher's common stock.

The NSSVVO candidates identified in the table in Section 2 and in the above
table collectively own the beneficial interests as shown in the table.
Therefore, if the solicitation of proxies is successful, such persons will
receive indirect benefits from any subsequent director compensation allowed or
approved.

6. Shareholder Proposals for the Annual Meeting

Under Article I, Section 3 of Rancher's Bylaws, only those matters that are
described in the notice of the Annual Meeting may be considered at the Annual
Meeting. NSSVVO does not intend to request the conduct of any business at the
Annual Meeting other than the election of the NSSVVO candidates. It is possible,
however, that Rancher or other shareholders may request or demand the inclusion
of additional agenda items, in which case additional matters may be described in
the notice of the Annual Meeting.

Under Article I, Section 3 of Rancher's Bylaws, the date of the Annual Meeting
must be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 90 days after the date of the
notice of the Annual Meeting.

7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

None of the NSSVVO candidates, their immediate family members, any corporation
or organization of which any of the candidates is an executive officer or
partner, or is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 10 percent or more
of any class of equity securities, or any trust or other estate in which any of
the candidates has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or
in a similar capacity, has been indebted to Rancher or its subsidiaries at any
time.

None of the relationships regarding the NSSVVO candidates described under Item
404(b) of Regulation S-K exists or has existed, there are no relationships
involving any of the NSSVVO candidates that would have required disclosure under
Item 402(j) of Regulation S-K had the NSSVVO candidates been directors of
Rancher.

Agreements.

Employment Agreements; Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Employment Agreements

Rancher entered into an employment agreement with John H. Works, dated June 1,
2006, pursuant to which he agreed to become Rancher's President, Chief Executive
Officer, and a member of our Board of Directors. The term of Mr. Works'
agreement is two years, beginning May 15, 2006. The agreement shall
automatically be renewed for two year terms unless prior to the commencement of
the additional term: (i) either party gives thirty days' written notice of such
party's desire to terminate the agreement or (ii) the parties cannot agree to
mutually acceptable terms for the additional term. Rancher amended Mr. Works'
employment agreement on March 14, 2007 pursuant to which Rancher pays him an
annual salary of $225,000 per year. Under Mr. Works' agreement as amended,
Rancher reimburses him for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him up to $10,000
per month and pays him an automobile allowance of $400 per month. In conjunction
with his employment and as an incentive to become our President and Chief
Executive Officer, Rancher granted to Mr. Works, under his employment agreement,
an option to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Rancher's common stock at a price of
$0.00001 per share. The options vested 1,000,000 shares upon grant and vested
250,000 shares quarterly thereafter, beginning June 1, 2006 through May 31,
2009. As of May 31, 2009, all of Mr. Works' options to purchase 4,000,000 shares
of Rancher's common stock have been exercised.

On August 3, 2007, Rancher entered into an employment agreement with Richard E.
Kurtenbach to become its Chief Accounting Officer. Pursuant to the employment
agreement, Mr. Kurtenbach will receive a base salary of $175,000 and a year end
bonus to be determined by its Board of Directors. Mr. Kurtenbach began his
employment with Rancher on August 27, 2007 and he was granted on that date an
option to purchase 450,000 shares of Rancher's common stock at an exercise price
of $0.45 per share. The options vests annually over a three-year period from the
date of grant, and will be exercisable for a term of five years, subject to
early termination of Mr. Kurtenbach's employment with Rancher. In addition, Mr.
Kurtenbach is entitled to the coverage or benefits under any and all employee
benefit plans maintained by Rancher.

On October 6, 2006, Rancher promoted Andrew Casazza to Chief Operating Officer
effective October 3, 2006. In connection with this promotion, on October 23,
2006, Rancher entered into a three-year employment agreement ending on October
31, 2009 with Mr. Casazza for his employment as its Chief Operating Officer.
Under Mr. Casazza's employment agreement, Mr. Casazza was entitled to receive a
base salary of $100,000, which was subsequently increased on March 14, 2007 to
$160,000 per year. Mr. Casazza was eligible to receive a discretionary bonus for
each calendar year during the term and is entitled to the coverage or benefits
under any and all employee benefit plans maintained by Rancher. On October 2,
2006, Rancher granted Mr. Casazza an option to purchase 750,000 shares of its
common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. Mr. Casazza's option
vested 25% on the date of grant and was to vest 25% on each anniversary date
thereafter. Mr. Casazza resigned his position as Rancher's Chief Operating
Officer effective April 30, 2008.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Under Mr. Works' employment agreement, if Mr. Works' employment is terminated by
Rancher for cause, Rancher is obligated to pay Mr. Works, within 30 days after
the date of his termination, a lump sum payment in the amount equal to the sum
of the accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus any
unpaid approved expenses. If Mr. Works' employment is terminated by Rancher
without cause, it is obligated to pay Mr. Works, within 30 days after the date
of his termination, a lump sum payment an amount equal to the sum of three
months base salary plus any unpaid approved expenses.

If Rancher terminates the employment of Mr. Kurtenbach for cause, Rancher is
obligated to pay him no later than ten days following the date of termination, a
lump sum equal to Mr. Kurtenbach's accrued base salary through the date of
termination, and any and all accrued vacation pay, and accrued benefits through
the date of termination. If Rancher terminates the employment of Mr. Kurtenbach
without cause or if he resigns for good reason, Mr. Kurtenbach is entitled to
receive (i) his base salary accrued through the date of termination, (ii) any
and all accrued vacation and accrued benefits through the date of termination
and (iii) his base salary at the rate in effect on the date of notice of
termination for a period of six months thereafter.

The following table describes and quantifies certain compensation that would
become payable under the existing employment agreements with Rancher's executive
officers if their employment had been terminated on March 31, 2009 by Rancher
without cause, or by Mr. Works or Mr. Kurtenbach for good reason given each of
their compensation and service levels as of such date and, if applicable, based
on Rancher's closing stock price on that date:

Director Compensation

According to the Preliminary 14A Proxy Statement filed by Rancher on June 10,
2009, the non- employee Directors of Rancher for the last fiscal year, which
ended March 31, 2009, were compensated using a mix of compensation, including:
an annual retainer paid in shares of common stock, meeting fees and committee
chair fees. Directors who are Rancher's employees receive no additional
compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.

Cash Compensation and Equity Compensation

According to the Preliminary 14A Proxy Statement filed by Rancher on June 10,
2009, all non-employee Directors receive $45,000 annual compensation, which is
paid quarterly in shares of Rancher's common stock and is priced at the fair
market value at the end of each fiscal quarter represented by the closing price
on the last trading day of the quarter. Each non-employee Director also receives
$6,000 per year, plus reasonable out of pocket expenses, to attend Board of
Directors meetings. If a non-employee Director is a member of a committee, he or
she receives $4,000 per year for committee meetings. A committee chairman
receives $6,000 per year, except an audit committee chairman receives $10,000
per year. Meeting payments are made quarterly and a Director may receive stock
in lieu of cash under the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which will be computed
using the ratio of $1.50 of Rancher's common stock for each $1.00 to be paid in
cash to the Director. In addition to the above compensation, each non-employee
director received in conjunction with his joining the Board of Directors a stock
grant of 100,000 shares of Rancher's common stock that vests 20% (20,000 shares)
on the date of grant with vesting 20% per year thereafter.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

On June 10, 2009, Rancher filed the following information and table regarding
its Equity Compensation Plan in a Preliminary 14A Proxy Statement.

Auditors

Currently, Rancher has selected Hein & Associates LLP ("Hein") as its
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended March
31, 2009 and 2010. During the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent
interim period prior to its selection as independent accountants, Hein had not
been consulted by Rancher on any of the matters referenced in Regulation S-K
Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).

A representative of Hein is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

The following table describes fees for professional audit services rendered by

Director Fees

If elected, NSSVVO candidates shall receive a reduced director fee from the
current rates. Moreover, the NSSVVO candidates intend to discontinue the payment
of director fees at the rates paid to the existing directors. Each candidate's
beneficial ownership of Rancher shares are set forth in Table II in Section 2
above. Each of the NSSVVO candidates, if elected, will be indemnified for
service as a director to the same extent indemnification is provided to other
directors under Rancher's governing documents. Also, upon election, the NSSVVO
candidates intend to be covered by Rancher's officer and director liability
insurance. The NSSVVO candidates, if elected, may consider and adopt a new
director compensation arrangement, although at reduced rates from present rates,
which could be in the form of an option or stock.

None of the NSSVVO candidates has received any material cash compensation, cash
bonuses, deferred compensation, compensation pursuant to plans, or other
material compensation, from, or in respect of, services rendered on behalf of
Rancher, or is subject to any arrangement described in Item 402 of Regulation
S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 (Regulation S-K).There is no other material
arrangement pursuant to which any NSSVVO candidate was compensated for services
during Rancher's last fiscal year.

9. Other Matters

NSSVVO is not aware of any other substantive matter to be considered at the
Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter comes before the Annual Meeting,
NSSVVO will vote the proxies only for the matters contained in the Proxy form
and consistent with federal proxy rules. The information concerning Rancher
contained in this proxy statement has been taken from, or is based upon,
publicly available information. Although NSSVVO does not have any information
that would indicate information contained in this proxy statement that has been
taken from such documents is inaccurate or incomplete, NSSVVO has no way to
verify or assess the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of such information.
To date, NSSVVO has had only limited access to the books and records of Rancher.

If we are unsuccessful in our solicitation of proxies, we will continue to do
what we can to advocate appropriate changes in Rancher's management and
direction, but we do not plan on making any further proxy solicitations or other
attempts to gain control of Rancher.

NSSVVO and its affiliates have purchased stock in Rancher over the past three
years at various prices through open market transactions and private purchases.
