1721 ET - Harley-Davidson Chairman and CEO Jochen Zeitz kept his seat on the company's board by just a 1 percentage point margin, vote totals released by the company reveal. Activist investor H Partners started a proxy fight to remove Zeitz and two others from the board of the Milwaukee-based motorcycle maker, saying they were responsible for poor financial performance. Harley directors must resign if fewer than 50% of shares voted register approval, and Zeitz got 51%. The other directors targeted by H Partners, Thomas Linebarger and Sara Levinson, received 59% and 58% approval, respectively. Every other member of Harley's nine-person board received more than 90% approval. (john.keilman@wsj.com)
