Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Harley-Davidson appointed Daniel J. Nova and Matthew J. Reintjes as independent directors effective September 15, 2025, while directors Sara Levinson and N. Thomas Linebarger retired from the board on the same date. The filing states the retirements were not the result of any disagreement with the company, and the board said the new members add finance, governance and brand expertise as Artie Starrs prepares to become CEO later this year.

  • Matthew J. Reintjes, President and CEO of YETI Holdings since 2015, joins the board and its Audit and Finance and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees.
