H Partners Issues Presentation Correcting Harley-Davidson’s False and Misleading Claims

Sets the Record Straight in Rebuttal to Harley-Davidson’s April 25 Investor Presentation

Highlights Facts Regarding the Financial Underperformance Under CEO & Chairman Jochen Zeitz, Presiding Director Thomas Linebarger, and Long-Tenured Director Sara Levinson

Encourages Shareholders to Vote WITHHOLD on the BLUE Proxy Card to Unseat the Three Entrenched Directors and Return Harley-Davidson to Greatness

H Partners’ Presentation and Other Campaign-Related Stakeholder Resources Can be Viewed at www.FreeTheEagle.com

H Partners Management, LLC (“H Partners” or “we”), one of the largest shareholders of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HOG) (“Harley-Davidson” or the “Company”), which beneficially owns approximately 9.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company, today issued a rebuttal presentation spotlighting false and misleading claims made in the Company’s April 25, 2025, presentation in an apparent attempt to distract shareholders from the poor performance, weak execution, flawed corporate governance, and substantial value destruction at Harley-Davidson under current leadership.

As a reminder, H Partners is running a campaign urging fellow Harley-Davidson shareholders to vote “WITHHOLD” on the election of three of Harley-Davidson’s long-tenured incumbent directors – CEO and Chairman Jochen Zeitz, Presiding Director Thomas Linebarger, and 29-year director Sara Levinson – at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) scheduled for May 14, 2025.

A copy of H Partners’ rebuttal presentation is available to download here. To learn more about H Partners’ campaign and how to vote “WITHHOLD” on the election of Mr. Zeitz, Mr. Linebarger, and Ms. Levinson on the BLUE proxy card, visit www.FreeTheEagle.com.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS

Harley-Davidson shareholders who have not yet received our proxy material and want to support H Partners’ campaign today may vote “WITHHOLD” on the Company’s WHITE proxy card or voting instruction form. If shareholders have already voted using the Company's WHITE Proxy Card or voting instruction form or had their vote taken over a recorded line on the telephone, a later-dated vote on either the Company’s WHITE voting forms or our BLUE proxy card or voting instruction form will revoke your previously cast vote. Only your latest dated vote counts.

Additional Information
