(NYSE: HOG) (\u201cHarley-Davidson\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), which beneficially owns approximately 9.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company, today announced that it has filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its campaign to urge shareholders to vote \u201c<b><span class=\"bwuline\">WITHHOLD<\/span><\/b>\u201d on the election of three long-tenured incumbent directors \u2013 CEO and Chairman Jochen Zeitz, Presiding Director Thomas Linebarger, and 29-year director Sara Levinson \u2013 at the Company\u2019s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the \u201cAnnual Meeting\u201d) scheduled for May 14, 2025.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, H Partners sent <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fhpartners.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com%2FH%2BPartners%2BHOG%2BFight%2BLetter_4.28.25_Final.pdf&amp;esheet=54244488&amp;newsitemid=20250428975717&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=a+letter&amp;index=2&amp;md5=7eaee2a9b78828d9c5f396ae14eb7bb5\">a letter<\/a> to Harley-Davidson shareholders detailing the urgent need for leadership change at the Company based on its concerns in three key areas that it believes have led to the destruction of substantial shareholder value under the oversight of Mr. Zeitz, Mr. Linebarger, and Ms. Levinson:\n<\/p>\n<ol class=\"bwlistdecimal\">\n<li><b>Poor Performance<\/b>: Over every relevant timeframe since Mr. Zeitz was appointed CEO five years ago, Harley-Davidson\u2019s Total Shareholder Returns (\u201cTSR\u201d) have substantially underperformed relevant benchmarks. In addition, both Mr. Linebarger and Ms. Levinson have an alarming record of dramatic TSR underperformance throughout their 17 and 29 years on the Board, respectively.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Weak Execution<\/b>: H Partners believes that weak execution is to blame for the failure of Mr. Zeitz\u2019s Hardwire Strategic Plan, which has failed to deliver profitable growth or shareholder value, as evidenced by the decline in Operating Income and TSR underperformance.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Flawed Corporate Governance<\/b>: H Partners also believes that Harley-Davidson shareholders should be troubled by the Company\u2019s numerous shareholder-unfriendly corporate governance practices and the long-tenured directors\u2019 failure to provide effective oversight, which has enabled Mr. Zeitz to evade accountability while continuing to destroy shareholder value.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\nIn the letter, H Partners urges shareholders to help fix Harley-Davidson by sending a clear message to the Board that they are dissatisfied with the status quo and that a meaningful reconstitution of the Board \u2013 including the removal of the three entrenched and long-tenured directors \u2013 is required to unlock significant value for shareholders and to help return this iconic Company to greatness for the benefit of all stakeholders.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA copy of the letter sent to shareholders is available to download <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fhpartners.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com%2FH%2BPartners%2BHOG%2BFight%2BLetter_4.28.25_Final.pdf&amp;esheet=54244488&amp;newsitemid=20250428975717&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=3&amp;md5=84acac773838ac2c21a5a70dcff78ab7\">here<\/a>.
