Two independent proxy advisory firms, Glass, Lewis & Co. and Egan-Jones Ratings Company, have recommended that shareholders of Harley-Davidson Inc. vote "WITHHOLD" against re-electing three long-tenured directors-CEO and Chairman Jochen Zeitz, Presiding Director Thomas Linebarger, and 29-year director Sara Levinson-at the company's upcoming Annual Meeting on May 14, 2025. This recommendation aligns with H Partners, a significant shareholder with a 9.3% stake in the company, which has expressed concerns about the board's alleged secret commitments to select investors in an attempt to secure votes. H Partners advocates for a refreshed board with impartial, qualified experts to better position the company for future success. Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the BLUE proxy card to express their stance.
