While Harley-Davidson has successfully fought off the boardroom coup brought forth by H Partners Management, along with a number of other shareholders, things aren't likely to just back to normal anytime soon. Concessions were made, and things will change at the Motor Co.
Now, I still stand by my assertion that H Partners Management and its allies lost this vote, although they later claimed victory. I think the pissing match it instigated was one brought forth by pentulance rather than searching for good corporate governance. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. However, as I've stated in prior articles, I do agree with some of their takeaways and pain points they outlined.
To quote the late-great Sam Cooke, " A change gon' come."
