Proxy Battle at Harley-Davidson: A Comprehensive Analysis of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Activism
In recent weeks, Harley-Davidson, the iconic American motorcycle manufacturer, has found itself at the center of a contentious proxy battle. Activist investor H Partners, holding approximately 9.1% of the company's shares, has launched a campaign to unseat CEO and Chairman Jochen Zeitz, along with two long-serving board members, citing concerns over poor performance, weak execution, and flawed corporate governance. This dispute has drawn attention from major proxy advisory firms, with Glass Lewis and Egan-Jones recommending shareholders vote to remove the targeted directors, while Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has opposed the move.
