Harley-Davidson Motor Company July 30, 2025 Arthur Starrs, We are pleased to confirm the terms of your appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer of Harley- Davidson, Inc., reporting directly to the Board of Directors. This position is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a start date no later than October 1, 2025. Below, you will find the details of the offer. For your convenience, below we also have described various benefits that you will be eligible to receive during your employment. Additional details are provided in the respective applicable plan documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, the applicable plan documents, policies, or guidelines shall control and may be modified from time to time. Total Target Compensation Your annual base salary will be $1,200,000 subject to applicable taxes and withholdings. The U.S. payroll cycle is bi-weekly. Beginning in 2026 you will be eligible to participate in the Harley-Davidson, Inc. Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) with an individual incentive target of 150% of your annual base salary. Actual payments under the STIP can range from 0% to 200% of an individual’s target opportunity based on plan performance. STIP awards are typically paid in February after the prior year’s performance period and after the Human Resources Committee of the Board reviews and approves the plan performance attainment. You will be eligible to participate in the Harley-Davidson, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) with an annual individual incentive grant valued at $6,500,000. You will receive your first full LTIP grant in February of 2026 upon approval from the Human Resources Committee of the Board. The current composition of the LTIP is a combination of restricted stock units (50%) and performance shares (50%). Performance shares allow the executive to earn a specified number of shares of our common stock at the end of the three-year performance period, that will range between 0% and 200% of the initial award amount. As a result, the number of Performance Shares an executive earns is based on performance, and the value that is realized is further derived by stock price at vesting. To the extent that awards vest the participant will also receive the accumulated dividends that have accrued over the performance period, in direct proportion to the number of Performance Shares that vest. Restricted stock unit awards allow executives to receive shares of common stock in the future after the awards vest, which will occur only if the individual remains an employee or certain other circumstances apply. Restricted stock unit awards vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. During the vesting period, the recipient earns dividend equivalents on each restricted stock unit of the same value as dividends that are declared and paid quarterly on each share of stock.
