Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 21, 2026, Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the “Company”) held the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2020 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) to increase the authorized number of shares under the Incentive Plan, which amendment had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to shareholder approval. Additional information regarding the results of the Annual Meeting is set forth below under Item 5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As amended, the Incentive Plan provides that up to a total of 12,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock may be issued thereunder. The Incentive Plan authorizes the grant to the Company’s officers (who may include one or more of the Company’s named executive officers) and eligible employees of stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, employee incentive plan shares and dividend equivalent units. The Company cannot currently determine the benefits, if any, to be paid under the Incentive Plan in the future to any person eligible to receive awards.

The Incentive Plan is described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2026 (the “2026 Proxy Statement”), and the full text of the Incentive Plan appears as Appendix A to the 2026 Proxy Statement. The description of the Incentive Plan set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such materials.
