Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (Goldman) to repurchase an aggregate of $200 million of the Company’s shares of common stock. Under the ASR, the Company paid $200 million to Goldman and received an initial delivery of 6,291,781 shares of the Company's common stock on November 6, 2025, representing 80% of the payment amount divided by the Company's closing share price on November 5, 2025.
On February 13, 2026, Goldman settled the ASR by delivering 3,147,971 shares of the Company's common stock, resulting in a total delivery of 9,439,752 shares under the $200 million ASR, with the initial delivery treated as shares repurchased in 2025 and the remaining shares treated as shares repurchased in 2026. The total number of shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR was based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock, less a discount, during the repurchase period. The amount delivered on February 13, 2026 represented the difference between the initially delivered shares and the total number of shares purchased.
The Company's share repurchases, which consisted of shares repurchased on a discretionary basis, including shares repurchased pursuant to the ASR and delivered in 2026, and shares of common stock that employees surrendered to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares, were as follows during the quarter ended March 31, 2026:

(a)ASR settlement on February 13, 2026 as described above.
In July 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 24.4 million shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. In July 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15.0 million additional shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. The Company repurchased 6.6 million shares on a discretionary basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, including those delivered pursuant to the ASR. As of March 31, 2026, 16.8 million shares remained under the authorizations.
Under the share repurchase authorization, the Company’s common stock may be purchased through any one or more of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and discretionary purchases on the open market, block trades, accelerated share repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authority has no expiration date but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.
The Company's capital allocation priorities are to (i) reinvest in key growth initiatives, including the associated capital expenditures, (ii) return capital to shareholders through dividends and discretionary share repurchases, and (iii) invest in opportunistic acquisitions. These priorities are designed to support the investment required to enhance the long-term value of the Company and to return any excess cash to shareholders.
The amount of capital to be allocated to share repurchases is approved periodically by the Company’s Board of Directors, taking into account the Company’s expected cash flow over time. The specific number of shares repurchased, if any, and the timing of repurchases are determined by Company management from time to time and will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume, and general market conditions, as well as on working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors.
The Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2020 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2022 Aspirational Incentive Stock Plan (Incentive Plans) and predecessor stock plans permit participants to satisfy all or a portion of the statutory federal, state, and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with plan awards by electing to (a) have the Company withhold shares otherwise issuable under the award, (b) tender back shares received in connection with such award, or (c) deliver other previously owned shares, in each case having a value equal to the amount to be withheld. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company acquired
336,073 shares of common stock that employees presented to the Company to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares.
