ISS Concludes That H Partners “Has Not Presented a Compelling Case for Change;” Notes that its “Campaign Has Almost Certainly Set the CEO Search Process Back”

Highlights Progress Made Under CEO Jochen Zeitz and the Hardwire Strategic Plan

Harley-Davidson Urges Shareholders to Vote “FOR ALL” Harley-Davidson Director Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card TODAY

MILWAUKEE, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the “Company” or “Harley-Davidson”) (NYSE: HOG) today announced that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”), a leading independent proxy advisory firm, 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.

ISS concluded that H Partners (“the dissident”) has not presented a compelling case for change, and as such, support is warranted “FOR ALL” Harley-Davidson’s nominees. In making its recommendation, ISS noted:¹

Regarding Harley-Davidson’s Strategy:

• “The bigger picture is that the strategy introduced by Zeitz has had a positive impact on the trajectory of HOG, which had lost considerable ground when he took over as interim CEO.”
• “The HOG Zeitz inherited was in decline. He attempted to stabilize the business, simplify operations, and refocus on the core. Even the dissident recognizes the logic of this strategy.”
• “HOG has kept pace with peers. This is significant, as HOG dramatically underperformed peers for several years prior to introduction of the Hardwire strategy.”

Regarding the Board’s Ongoing CEO Search:

• “[I]t appears that the board initiated the [CEO search] process promptly, took the correct procedural steps, and accommodated the dissident. It is also evident that the dissident’s preferred candidate was not dismissed out of hand.”
• “The facts suggest that when the dissident’s preferred candidate was not selected, the dissident reacted by vacating the board and launching this vote no campaign in an attempt to establish a path to its desired outcome in the CEO search.”
• “[D]espite the dissident’s argument that there is a sense of urgency, the distraction of this campaign has almost certainly set the [CEO search] process back. This only reinforces the board’s conclusion that this campaign is a reaction, rather than a measured response.”

Regarding the Directors Targeted by H Partners:

• “[T]here are compelling reasons to believe that as a group [the targeted directors] still have a perspective that can be valuable.”
• “[T]he criticisms levied by the dissident against Zeitz as CEO are overstated. […] [I]t appears that his time in the role has been more positive than negative, which makes it hard to argue that his vote on a successor is worthless.”
• “There is no basis for the dissident to believe that the rejection of the three targeted nominees would warrant the addition of its representative and a second designee. Not only is this arbitrary, but shareholders are not being asked to vote on this outcome.”

“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.”

Your Vote is Important

Consistent with ISS’s recommendation, the Board of Directors strongly urges all Harley-Davidson shareholders to protect the value of their investment and preserve the future of Harley-Davidson by voting “FOR ALL” of the Company’s nominees on the WHITE proxy card TODAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mira, a hormonal health company, announces a partnership with pro soccer player Ali Riley, a member of Angel City FC and New Zealand Women’s National Team. Together, they aim to support women navigating major life transitions, such as family planning and fertility treatments, by encouraging open conversations around hormone health and expanding access to personalized, at-home care.

As she recovers from a potentially career-ending injury, Riley is opening up about the emotional toll of IVF – and how using Mira helped her regain a sense of control. “With so much uncertainty this year, Mira gave me something solid: structure, real data, and hope,” she said. Unsure if motherhood was still possible, Riley began tracking her hormones with Mira’s hormone tracker. Learning she was in a late reproductive phase gave her the confidence to pursue IVF.

Mira offers the first FDA-cleared, at-home hormone monitor validated for use in fertility treatment. It tracks four key hormones and delivers lab-quality, personalized insights. One study found that tracking urine E3G with Mira showed a similar correlation to the number of eggs retrieved during IVF as standard blood-based estradiol testings — offering a meaningful tool for women managing time-sensitive treatments.

Riley’s experience also highlights systemic gaps in professional sports, where reproductive health is rarely addressed. For most female athletes, fertility preservation or IVF can only happen during the offseason, and often without much institutional support. “There are so many decisions we’re forced to make without the right information or resources. I was lucky to have access to Mira and a strong support system, but so many of my colleagues don’t.”

To help bridge this gap, Mira is offering to donate hormone-tracking kits to football clubs interested in providing their athletes with better fertility and hormonal health resources.

Together, Mira and Riley are calling for more transparency, access, and compassion in women’s health – helping women everywhere feel supported, and informed at every stage of life.

About Mira

Mira is a hormonal health company providing integrative care and hormonal testing. Mira was founded in late 2015 with a mission to develop data-driven hormonal health solutions to help women make confident health decisions during every stage of their lives – from the menstrual stage to menopause.

VIDIZMO to discuss how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), automated redaction, and AI-driven analysis help reduce case backlogs, streamline FOIA compliance, and speed up investigations.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VIDIZMO, a Gartner- and IDC-recognized provider of AI-powered evidence management solutions, announces its participation in the 2025 IACP Technology Conference, taking place May 5–7 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

With digital evidence increasing exponentially, law enforcement, public safety, and justice professionals face mounting challenges. They spend hundreds of hours analyzing evidence and getting relevant insights from cases. This leads to them indulging in more paperwork and less investigative work, getting lost in a pool of evidence.

Manual processes are no longer sustainable. From delayed investigations and missed deadlines to increased legal risks, inefficient evidence workflows hinder operational efficiency and case outcomes. This means it takes longer than usual to catch criminals and bring them to justice.

“Law enforcement, public safety, and justice agencies are having a hard time dealing with increasing evidence volumes. They need to manage it, analyze it, redact it, and then share it, all of them securely,” said Nadeem Khan, Chief Executive, VIDIZMO. “At the 2025 IACP Technology Conference, we’ll be showing how AI solutions can help them.“

VIDIZMO AI solutions for law enforcement, public safety, and justice professionals help them manage, analyze, and redact digital evidence, all while ensuring the utmost security and compliance with NIST, FIPS, CJIS, and other data security standards.

VIDIZMO AI helps law enforcement, public safety, and justice agencies by implementing the following solutions:

• AI-powered Evidence Intelligence: VIDIZMO helps extract relevant AI-driven insights from digital evidence and cases by letting agency personnel query data in multiple formats using natural language questions. They can get accurate responses in the form of video, audio, text, or image along with linked sources to verify the generated output. No more digging through files.
• Automated Evidence Analysis: Officers can detect, track, and search for objects (faces, vehicles, weapons, license plates) or spoken words within digital evidence, making it easier to find key evidence without spending hours reviewing.
• Evidence Summarization and Chaptering: Law enforcement, public safety, and justice agencies analyze body-worn camera footage and other video evidence by creating short summaries, identifying key moments, and breaking the video down into chapters for faster evidence review.
• Automated Redaction for FOIA Compliance: Redact PII such as names, faces, SSNs, and license plates from videos, images, audio, and documents using AI, enabling faster FOIA responses and reducing compliance risk.
• E-discovery Management: Organize, search, and filter digital case evidence efficiently to support faster and more compliant e-discovery workflows for legal teams.

BALTIMORE, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Broad Street Realty, in partnership with Centennial and Madison Energy Infrastructure, has announced the completion of a new 1 MW(dc) rooftop solar installation at Hollinswood Shopping Center in Baltimore County. The project follows the 2.4 MW(dc) rooftop solar project that the companies recently completed at Cromwell Shopping Center, a 233,000 square foot shopping center anchored by an AutoZone mega hub and a Roses.

The project is designed to reduce the cost of electricity for approximately 1,000 homes in the area, while increasing power production in the State of Maryland. The project uses over 1,500 solar panels with a ballasted racking system across Hollinswood Shopping Center’s 100,000 square foot roof.

Centennial developed the project, with construction performed by Halo, a solar engineering contractor. The project received financing from AccelDev and will be owned and operated by Madison Energy Infrastructure. Venable served as transactional counsel to Centennial.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate again with Centennial and MEI to bring solar energy to Hollinswood Shopping Center,” said Michael Jacoby, Chairman and CEO of Broad Street Realty. “These recent solar projects align with our company’s commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and implementing ESG-focused initiatives across our properties. Together, we’re contributing to Maryland’s goals of supporting our local communities with reduced electricity costs for families, while increasing power generation in the state through clean energy.”

David John Frenkil, Founder and Managing Principal of Centennial: “The rooftop solar project at Hollinswood Shopping Center is the most recent example of how owners of commercial real estate can grow their net operating income while contributing to efforts to lower electricity costs for households and businesses, while increasing energy generation in Maryland – a state that currently imports nearly 40% of the electricity that it consumes.”

Chip Brubaker, President of AccelDev: “The Hollinswood project shows how strategic financing and strong partnerships can provide meaningful benefits for the customers and the communities they serve. AccelDev is proud to support Centennial and Broadstreet in bringing this vision to life once again, and to work with Madison to ensure long-term reliability and lasting value. This project builds on a successful track record of collaboration, reinforcing our commitment to empowering the DG developer ecosystem.”

The Hollinswood Shopping Center project reinforces Broad Street’s dedication to deploying innovative, sustainable solutions across its portfolio.
