ISS recommends Harley-Davidson holders vote ‘FOR ALL’ director nominees

Harley-Davidson (HOG) announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. has recommended that shareholders vote “FOR ALL” of Harley-Davidson’s highly qualified Director nominees in connection with the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on May 14, 2025. “We are pleased that ISS recognizes the strength of our Board and governance structure, as demonstrated by our comprehensive CEO search process,” said Tom Linebarger, Presiding Director of the Board. “We believe it also highlights the flaws in H Partners’ actions and the disruption their campaign is bringing to the Board’s ongoing efforts. ISS’s recommendation underscores the Board’s important role in effectively overseeing management’s execution of the Hardwire strategic plan, which ISS acknowledges is positively impacting the Company amid challenging and volatile macroeconomic conditions. We continue to believe that H Partners’ true intentions are to circumvent sound corporate governance practices by seeking appointment of unelected and unnamed Directors, solely to control the outcome of the CEO search process – a notion that ISS acknowledged. We remain committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders.”
