TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The California Mille, a 1,000-mile driving adventure through Northern California’s best driving roads, celebrated its 34th running April 27th to May 1st. Entrants drove cars from the era of Italy’s original Mille Miglia road race, 1927-1957, while enjoying incredible scenic vistas, fantastic cuisine, local history and car-loving camaraderie. This year’s featured class was Ferrari 250 with participating cars including the 250 GT LWB ‘Tour de France‘, 250 GT Boano and 250 PF Cabriolet Special.

Chopard returned to the California Mille as “Official Timekeeper” in 2025. Chopard timepieces have long been an important part of motorsport, keeping track of lap times and keeping pace during time trial events like the original Mille Miglia.

This year’s California Mille featured 80 cars and made its way through Northern California. The first day of the tour kicked off at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay before heading north through the Bay Area and on to Napa Valley wine country. Drivers enjoyed some of the best roads around the Santa Rosa region and along the coast before inland drives along Lake Berryessa and Clear Lake. The 5-day driving tour included 5-star luxury accommodations, exclusive collection tours and fine dining each evening.

This year, the California Mille helped raise more than $85,000 for non-profit organizations including the California Firefighters Benevolent Fund and CHP 11-99 foundation. Included in the giving were the proceeds of thrilling live charity auction of an exclusive painting commissioned from artist Brian Kesling, featuring the 2025 featured marque, the Ferrari 250.

Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR ALL” Director Nominees Using the WHITE Proxy Card TODAY

MILWAUKEE
, May 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the “Company” or “Harley-Davidson”) (NYSE: HOG) today issued the following statement addressing H Partners’ accusations of improper conduct:

“Regrettably, H Partners has been pursuing a misleading and disruptive campaign for weeks. As our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders approaches, H Partners has resorted to a desperate, last-ditch attempt to sway shareholders. The Harley-Davidson Board is operating with the utmost integrity and in accordance with concepts of responsible corporate governance – concepts that H Partners clearly does not understand.

Unlike H Partners and their self-serving antics, the Board is committed to one thing – acting in the best interests of all shareholders. The facts are as follows:

• The Harley-Davidson Board of Directors has developed and is executing a thoughtful and deliberate CEO search process, as well as Board refreshment planning.
• Each of the three Directors targeted by H Partners – Jochen Zeitz, Tom Linebarger and Sara Levinson – is critical to this CEO search process and the successful onboarding of the next leader of Harley-Davidson, which is why they are standing for re-election at this month’s Annual Meeting.

H Partners had their chance to be an integral part of this search process to help guide the selection of a new CEO – they gave that up. Before doing so, however, they consistently supported the very CEO, strategy and Directors they now find so objectionable. Mere months ago, they voted for the Company’s current Director nominees to stand for reelection, and their preferred CEO candidate was carefully considered on an accelerated basis by the Board.

H Partners’ latest missive is yet another unfortunate attempt to distract shareholders from these undeniable facts.”

Your Vote is Important

The Board of Directors strongly urges all Harley-Davidson shareholders to protect the value of their investment and preserve the future of Harley-Davidson by voting “FOR ALL” of the Company’s nominees on the WHITE proxy card TODAY.
