Proposal 1 – Election of Directors
The first proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting will be the election of our thirteen director nominees. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors recommend approval of each of the nominees outlined below. If elected, each will serve until the next Annual Meeting of stockholders and until their successor has been elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. Pursuant to a stockholders agreement, certain of our stockholders affiliated with Roger Penske and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. have agreed to vote together to elect members of our Board of Directors. See “Related Party Transactions” for a description of this stockholders agreement.
Director Nominees. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has established minimum qualifications for director nominees, including integrity, judgment, and personal accomplishment within their field. Experience in at least one of the following is also desired: high level of leadership experience in business or administration, breadth of knowledge concerning issues affecting our Company, willingness to contribute special competence to board activities, accomplishments within the director’s respective field, and experience reading and understanding financial statements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors reviewed the qualities of the Board members as a group, including the diversity of the Board’s career experiences, viewpoints, company affiliations, expertise with respect to the various facets of our business operations, and business experiences. The Board did not employ any particular benchmark with respect to these qualities but was mindful of achieving an appropriate balance of these qualities with respect to the Board of Directors as a whole. Moreover, the Board of Directors and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered each nominee’s overall service to our Company during the previous term, each nominee’s personal integrity and adherence to the standards noted above, as well as the individual experience of each director noted within their biographies below. On October 31, 2021, GTT Communications, Inc. filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Mr. Thompson was an executive officer of GTT Communications, Inc. until January 2022. The Board believes that the qualities and skills listed for each of the nominees, qualifies each such nominee for service as a director of our Company.
The following table provides summary information about each director nominee. Each director is elected annually by a majority of votes cast.

Proposal 2 – Ratification of the Selection of our Independent Auditor
Our Audit Committee has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, and their respective affiliates (collectively referred to as “Deloitte”) as our principal independent auditing firm for 2025. We have determined to submit the selection of auditors to stockholder ratification, even though it is not required by our governing documents or Delaware law. If the selection of Deloitte as our independent auditor is not ratified by our stockholders, our Audit Committee will re-evaluate its selection, taking into consideration the stockholder vote on the ratification and the advisability of selecting new auditors prior to completion of the 2025 audit.
Our Audit Committee is solely responsible for selecting, engaging and terminating our independent auditing firm, and may do so at any time at its discretion. It is anticipated that a representative of Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement and to answer appropriate questions.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Proposal 3 – Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation
We annually seek a non-binding advisory vote on our named executive officer compensation. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Compensation and Management Development Committee (which we also refer to as our Compensation Committee), however, the committee will take the outcome of the vote into account when making future executive compensation decisions. Last year, our stockholders approved the compensation of our named executive officers as described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” with over 98% of the votes cast by our stockholders voting in favor. As we evaluated our compensation programs and practices, we were mindful of this strong shareholder support in deciding to maintain the overall framework of our compensation program, and the majority of our compensation practices remain unchanged from last year.
Our compensation program is designed to motivate our executive officers to enhance long-term stockholder value and to attract and retain the highest quality executive and key employee talent available. We believe our executive compensation is aligned with increasing the value of our common stock and promoting our key strategies, values and long-term financial and operational objectives. In this regard, we note that:

• | Mr. Penske beneficially owns approximately 34.5 million shares of our common stock, which significantly aligns his interests with the stockholders’ interests

• | In the last several years, neither our Chief Executive Officer nor President has received an annual cash bonus as both only have received restricted stock grants in lieu of a cash bonus

• | The named executive officers receive restricted stock grants with vesting provisions weighted towards the third and fourth years and are subject to stock ownership requirements discussed below, which encourages long-term stock ownership

• | We do not have any employment agreements with our named executive officers and have no agreements that provide for severance payments upon termination of employment

• | Our executive officers earn no additional retirement income under any supplemental executive retirement plan

• | Executive officers are subject to a compensation recovery or “clawback” policy which requires the repayment of unfairly awarded executive officer compensation in the event of a financial restatement, and we prohibit our directors, officers and employees from engaging in hedging with respect to our equity securities

• | We structure our compensation practices to be consistent with and support sound risk management. Our Compensation Committee reviews risk associated with our compensation policies and has determined such risk is not excessive

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IS APPROPRIATE AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING ADVISORY RESOLUTION:
“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S- K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.”

Board Committees.
Our Board of Directors has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Management Development Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee. Charters for the Audit, Compensation and Management Development, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees are available on our website, www.penskeautomotive.com, under the sub-heading “Governance” within the “Investors” section. The principal responsibilities of each committee are described below. Collectively, our directors attended 98% of our board and committee meetings in 2024, and each director attended at least 88% of their respective meetings. All of our directors are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of stockholders and all directors serving at that time attended the Annual Meeting in 2024.
Committee Member Qualifications. Each of the members of our Audit, Compensation and Management Development, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are independent under New York Stock Exchange guidelines and our guidelines for director independence. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” and “financially literate” under New York Stock Exchange rules and applicable law, and each of the four are “audit committee financial experts,” as that term is defined in Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to the:

• | financial statements, financial reporting and financial controls

• | internal audit function

• | engagement and evaluation of the independent auditing firm

• | key credit risks, liquidity risks, market risks, cybersecurity risks and any significant cybersecurity incidents and the steps taken to assess, monitor and mitigate these risks or exposures

The Compensation and Management Development Committee assists the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibility relating to:

• | executive officers’ compensation

• | compensation and benefits of other employees

• | administration of our equity incentive plans

• | recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to director compensation

• | management progression and succession plans

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee:

• | identifies prospective candidates for our Board of Directors

• | recommends director nominees for each Annual Meeting of stockholders and any interim vacancies the Board of Directors determines to fill

• | recommends to the Board of Directors corporate governance principles and policies

• | oversees the Board self-evaluation

• | oversees our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

• | oversees our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices and reporting

Executive Committee. Our Executive Committee’s primary function is to act upon matters when the Board of Directors is not in session. The Executive Committee has the full power and authority of the Board of Directors, except to the extent limited by law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other governance documents.
Board Structure and Lead Director. Roger Penske is the Chair of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer. We believe the combination of these two offices represents the most appropriate approach for our Company due to Mr. Penske’s significant ownership position through Penske Corporation, his extensive industry experience, his relationships with our key suppliers and other partners and his experience as an executive and a director of some of the world’s leading companies. In light of the combination of these positions, one of our governance principles is to have an independent “Lead Director” when our Chair is not an independent director. Our Lead Director is responsible for:

• | coordinating and leading the activities of the outside directors

• | establishing the agenda for executive sessions of the outside directors

• | presiding at the executive sessions of the outside directors which generally occur as part of each Board meeting

• | facilitating communication between the outside directors as a group and our management team

Our Lead Director is H. Brian Thompson. You may communicate with the Lead Director by writing to us, c/o Corporate Secretary and General Counsel, 2555 Telegraph Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302. All correspondence will be reviewed by our Corporate Secretary’s office, and all (other than frivolous correspondence) will be forwarded to the Lead Director. Any written communications to the independent directors as a group or the entire Board of Directors may be sent care of the Corporate Secretary as well. These communications (other than frivolous correspondence) will also be forwarded to the Lead Director.
Director Independence. A majority of our Board of Directors is independent and each of the members of our Audit, Compensation and Management Development, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees is independent. The Board of Directors has determined that Mss. Davis, Pierce and McWaters and Messrs. Barr, Dürheimer, Smith, Steinhart and Thompson are each independent in accordance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and our guidelines for independent directors which can be found in our corporate governance guidelines on our website www.penskeautomotive.com under the sub-heading “Governance” within the “Investors” section, and as set forth below. The Board of Directors has also determined that, upon election, Messrs. Hoogendoorn and Scott will be similarly independent. As required by New York Stock Exchange rules, in making independence determinations with respect to directors, our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the independent directors have no material relationship with the Company which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of such directors or otherwise fail to meet the individual independence tests specified by the NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A.02.
For a director to be considered independent under our corporate governance guidelines, the Board of Directors must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with us. In addition to applying these guidelines, the Board of Directors considers relevant facts and circumstances in making the determination of independence, and not merely from the standpoint of the director, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. The Board considers the transactions, relationships and arrangements between the Company, and its affiliates such as Penske Corporation, Penske Racing, Penske Entertainment and Penske Transportation Solutions and affiliates of the director, including those described under “Related Party Transactions” and elsewhere in the proxy statement, in its independence determination. The Board also considers ownership of our or our affiliates’ securities by the directors and their affiliates, ownership by our management team of any securities of affiliates of directors, and sponsorships of Penske Racing or other Penske affiliated racing entities by any of our or our directors’ affiliates.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under our guidelines, which are more stringent than the New York Stock Exchange guidelines, a director will not be independent if:

1. | The director is employed by us, or an immediate family member is one of our executive officers.*

2. | The director receives more than $60,000 of direct compensation from us, other than director fees and deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).*

3. | The director is affiliated with or employed by our independent auditing firm, or an immediate family member is affiliated with or employed in a professional capacity by our independent auditing firm.

4. | An executive officer of ours serves on the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of a company that employs the director or an immediate family member as an executive officer.

5. | The director is an executive officer or employee, or if an immediate family member is an executive officer, of another company that does business with us and the sales by that company to us or purchases by that company from us, in any single fiscal year during the evaluation period, are more than the greater of two percent of the annual revenues of that company or $1 million.

6. | The director serves as an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and our charitable contributions to the organization are more than the greater of $250,000 or one percent of that organization’s total annual charitable receipts during its last completed fiscal year.

* | Subject to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, employment as an Interim Chair, Interim CEO or other executive officer on an interim basis, and related compensation, shall not disqualify a director from being considered independent immediately following that employment.

ESG Oversight. Our Board of Directors has delegated oversight of our ESG practices and reporting to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee responsible for (i) recommending to the Board our overall strategy with respect to ESG matters, (ii) overseeing our policies, practices, and performance with respect to ESG matters, and (iii) overseeing our reporting formats and standards with respect to ESG matters; provided that certain aspects of our ESG practices are managed by other committees of the Board. For example, our Compensation and Management Development Committee is responsible for oversight of social risks and social initiatives, such as our efforts to promote equity, reduce employee turnover and incentivize certain performance consistent with our ESG practices and goals. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews our ESG disclosures and discusses with management, at least annually, our ESG initiatives, which include our environmental risks, environmental sustainability efforts and charitable contributions. Management is responsible for the implementation and execution of our ESG practices and reporting.
Risk Oversight and Management. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. The role of the Board of Directors in risk management is primarily one of oversight. Management is responsible for the implementation and execution of our risk management initiatives. Our Board of Directors executes its oversight role directly and also through its various committees as set forth below.
At least quarterly, our senior leadership team prepares a comprehensive summary of certain key risks facing the Company (the “Risk Report”). The Risk Report includes feedback from multiple constituencies within the Company. Identified risks are each assigned to members of senior management or designated management committees who are tasked with monitoring such risks and, where appropriate, implementing risk mitigation efforts. The Risk Report also clarifies Board oversight of each risk and is shared and discussed at least quarterly with the Audit Committee and periodically with the full Board, with certain specified risks and mitigation efforts reported to the Board or designated standing committees on a more frequent basis, as appropriate.
Full Board of Directors

• | reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from corporate management, regional executives and other officers

• | receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting

• | reviews the risks inherent in any significant Company transactions

Cybersecurity. As part of its review of the Company’s operational risks, the Board of Directors reviews cybersecurity risks facing our Company, including the potential for breach of our key information technology systems and the potential for a breach of our systems and processes relating to the protection of customer and employee confidential information. Our Chief Information Officer meets periodically with our Board and typically quarterly with our Audit Committee to review key cybersecurity and other information technology risks as well as any significant cybersecurity incidents.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Audit Committee

• | together with the full Board of Directors, reviews management’s assessment of the key risks facing our Company, including the key controls we rely on to mitigate those risks

• | monitors certain key risks at its regularly scheduled meetings, such as credit risks, liquidity risks, market risks, regulatory risks, litigation risks, related party transaction risk and cybersecurity risks

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

• | oversees compliance with legal and regulatory requirements

• | reviews risks relating to our governance structure

Compensation and Management Development Committee

• | reviews risk inherent in our compensation policies

• | reviews social risks

• | reviews the Company’s succession planning

Director Advisor Program. The Board has adopted a policy in its Corporate Governance Guidelines for the designation of certain former directors as “Director Advisors” which allows us to retain the benefits of continuing guidance from our long-tenured directors. This program is designed to encourage director refreshment while retaining access to former long-tenured directors’ valuable experience and institutional knowledge. Director Advisors are expected typically to be invited to attend two Board meetings per year and be available for continuing consultation. A Director Advisor is not entitled to attend any Board meeting, may not vote on any business coming before the Board nor is he or she counted as a member of the Board for the purpose of determining a quorum or for any other purpose. A Director Advisor is not a member of the Board or a “director” as that term is used in our bylaws, this proxy statement, our filings with Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise.
Director Advisors are entitled to cash compensation of $60,000 per year payable in cash or Company stock at the director’s election, a charitable match opportunity and use of a Company vehicle or a $20,000 stipend, as well as reimbursement of Company expenses and travel to our meetings. Mr. Steinhart is not up for re-election and he will cease serving on the Board upon the conclusion of the annual meeting. We do not currently have any Director Advisors but upon the election of the nominees set forth above, Mr. Steinhart intends to serve as a Director Advisor for a one-year term.
Securities Trading Policy Prohibition of Hedging or Short Selling. Our securities trading policy applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and restricts trading in our securities while in possession of material nonpublic information. The policy prohibits our directors, officers, employees and their designees from engaging in hedging, short sales and other trading techniques that offset any decrease in market value of our equity securities without the approval of our General Counsel, and no such approvals were granted in 2024. Our policy also provides for an approval procedure for corporate management and senior field management prior to any trading activity, requires advance approval of any securities trading plan under SEC Rule 10b5-1 or otherwise, and limits trading during designated “blackout” periods. These management personnel must request pre-approval for any trade and affirm they are not in possession of any material non-public information at that time. Approval for any individual trade will only be granted in an open trading window period and once approved, the recipient has three business days to effect a trade or must reinitiate the pre-approval procedure. Approval of any securities trading plan is also subject to these limits, as well as approval of our General Counsel who will confirm all legal requirements of such plan, including any applicable waiting periods, before implementation of such plan. No officers or directors implemented Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in 2024 or 2025 as of the date hereof.
Stock Ownership Guidelines/Pledging. Our stock ownership guidelines, discussed in the CD&A below, require threshold levels of our stock to be held by executive officers, other senior officers and directors. These guidelines exclude any shares that are pledged by our directors and officers.
Controlled Company. Under the New York Stock Exchange rules, if a company is “controlled” it need not have a majority of independent directors or solely independent compensation or nominating committees. We are a “controlled company” because more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by Penske Corporation through its voting agreement with Mitsui & Co. and their affiliates. These entities are considered a group due to the provisions of the stockholders agreement between these parties described under “Related Party Transactions.” Even though we are a “controlled company,” we are fully compliant with the New York Stock Exchange rules for non-controlled companies.

Director Candidates. When considering new candidates for our Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses the network of contacts of the Board of Directors to compile potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The committee considers whether the nominee would be independent and considers the candidate’s diversity in relation to the then existing Board, potentially including age, gender, ethnicity, geography, business experience or expertise or other factors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders pursuant to procedures outlined below. Stockholder proposals for nominees should be addressed to our Corporate Secretary, Penske Automotive Group, 2555 Telegraph Road, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302. The committee’s evaluation of stockholder-proposed candidates will be the same as for any other candidates.

Location of Corporate Governance Documents. Our corporate governance guidelines and the other documents referenced in this section are posted on our website, www.penskeautomotive.com, under the sub-heading “Governance” within the “Investors” section. We have also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees and directors, which is available on our website. We intend to disclose waivers, if any, for our executive officers or directors from the code, and changes to the code, on our website.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. During the last fiscal year, there were no Compensation Committee interlocks between us and other entities involving our executive officers and directors who serve as executive officers or directors of such other entities. During the last fiscal year, no member of the Compensation and Management Development Committee was a current or former officer or employee.
Stockholder Director Nominations and Proposals for 2026. We must receive any proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14(a)- 8 of the SEC proxy rules intended to be presented to stockholders at our 2026 Annual Meeting of stockholders at our principal executive offices at 2555 Telegraph Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302 for inclusion in the proxy statement by November 20, 2025. These proposals must also meet other requirements of the rules of the SEC relating to stockholder proposals. Any stockholder who wishes to make a director nomination or introduce an item of business, other than as described above, must comply with the procedures set forth in our bylaws, including delivering proper notice to us not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s Annual Meeting, which means not earlier than December 15, 2025, nor later than January 14, 2026. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements and other procedures set forth under our bylaws, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to comply with the universal proxy rules.
Corporate Responsibility
As a leading international, diversified transportation services company, we recognize it is our responsibility to ensure that we contribute to a healthy environment, economic opportunity, and social equity in the communities where we operate around the world. We recognize we are accountable to key stakeholders and the communities in which we do business. We are committed to responsible business practices, continuous improvement of our operations and strengthening relationships with our stakeholders. We focus our efforts where we can have the most positive impact on our business and society and are driven by our core values that ensures we enrich our communities, minimize our environmental impact, protect the health and safety of our team members and customers, and provide a diverse and inclusive workplace – all while creating

value for our stakeholders. The most important investments we make are in our people. Everything we aspire to be as a company builds on our ability to come together as one team. We provide our team members a supportive work environment that empowers them to do meaningful work while fulfilling their passions and balancing work goals with life goals.
We are pleased to have published our Corporate Responsibility Report which highlights the Company’s strategies, activities, progress, metrics, and performance, which is available on our website under the tab “Corporate Responsibility.” The report is responsive to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Multiline & Specialty Distributors sector standard and includes additional disclosures responsive to the framework established by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We encourage you to review this Corporate Responsibility report, which includes additional detail in regard to certain of our efforts highlighted below. As a company with global operations, we intend to report our corporate responsibility efforts in accordance with local country and state reporting requirements, as applicable.
Human Capital. We believe that our employees are our greatest asset. We understand that exceptional customer service can only be consistently delivered by attracting, motivating, training, and retaining the very best team members. With this in mind, we put our employees at the heart of everything that we do by developing their talent and enabling them to build long-term careers.
We are committed to building a work environment that promotes equity and is free from any form of discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex (including breast feeding and related medical conditions), pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, uniform service member and veteran status, age, genetic information, protected medical condition, disability, or any other protected status in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.
Community Participation. We believe community participation and charitable giving enrich the neighborhoods where we work, live and play. We are proud of these efforts and we encourage participation by all dealerships and employees, including through our commitment to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (“PVA”). Since 2015, our dealerships have supported the PVA, an organization working to ensure paralyzed and disabled veterans receive the care, benefits, and job opportunities they deserve. Each year, we match certain donations from our customers and team members to the PVA and have contributed collectively more than $10.8 million to PVA over time. As a company with a presence spanning four continents, we are able to make positive impacts in communities where our dealerships are located. In 2024, we donated $3.4 million to charities in our markets to facilitate these goals.
Environmental Sustainability-Electric Vehicles. Our dealerships market, sell and service vehicles that are engineered and manufactured by over 40 of the world’s automotive OEMs. Our new car and truck dealerships sell the full suite of vehicles offered by our manufacturer partners, including hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles (“EVs”). EVs can reduce the emissions that contribute to climate change and smog, improving public health and reducing ecological damage.
We encourage the sale and use of EVs and are actively placing charging stations across our network to facilitate a reliable infrastructure for their use. As of December 31, 2024, our network of EV charging stations totaled over 2,500, including a combination of Level 1 (standard), Level 2 (240V), and Level 3 (fast charging) capabilities. We expect to install additional charging stations to support EVs as our manufacturer partners introduce more of these products to the marketplace. We estimate that approximately 35% of our new vehicles delivered in 2024 were either electric or hybrid electric vehicles.
Managing our Energy Use and Reducing Waste. We are committed to monitoring and managing our energy use and the environmental impacts of our business. We recognize our responsibility to advocate for a cleaner environment through self-awareness, leveraging our global partnerships, promoting cleaner driving vehicles through our dealerships and reducing pollution and waste. We have deployed several strategies for reducing or optimizing our energy use, such as installing LED lighting, occupancy sensors, energy-efficient glass, and high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of waste produced at our facilities. We deploy several strategies to ensure the efficient use of resources and responsible disposal of waste, including hazardous waste, and use third parties to manage, collect and process recycling for many of the materials that go through our service departments. Other strategies to reduce pollution and waste include recycling worn-out tires collected in certain markets and eliminating the use of paper for internal communications and customer documentation.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of our accounting functions and internal controls as more fully discussed above under “Our Corporate Governance.” The Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate our independent auditing firm, and is responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors that our financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K.
The Audit Committee took a number of steps in making this recommendation for our 2024 annual report. The Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditing firm those matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC, including information regarding their independence and the scope and results of their audit. These communications and discussions were intended to assist the Audit Committee in overseeing the financial reporting and disclosure process. The Audit Committee also discussed the auditing firm’s independence and received the letters and written disclosures from the independent auditing firm required by the PCAOB. Finally, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the annual audited financial statements with our management and the independent auditing firm in advance of the public release of operating results, and before the filing of our annual and quarterly reports with the SEC.
Based on the foregoing, and other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited financial statements be included in our 2024 annual report on Form 10- K as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.

Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis set forth below with management. Based on this review and these discussions with management, the committee has recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.
The Compensation & Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors

| H. Brian Thompson (Chair) Lisa Davis |  |  | Wolfgang Dürheimer Sandra Pierce |

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Philosophy. Other than with respect to Messrs. Kurnick and Penske, the majority of our executive and employee compensation is payable in cash in the short-term and is comprised principally of salary and cash bonuses. We use cash compensation as the majority of our compensation because we believe it provides the most flexibility for our employees and is less dilutive to existing stockholders than equity compensation. The Compensation Committee also recognizes that stock prices may reflect factors other than long-term performance, such as general economic conditions and varying attitudes among investors toward the stock market in general and toward automotive retail companies specifically. However, we also provide long-term compensation in the form of restricted stock awards for senior employees, including each of our named executive officers (“NEOs”). Our restricted stock program awards typically vest over four years, with 70% of any award vesting in the third and fourth years. We believe this long-term compensation helps to align management’s goals with those of our other stockholders and provides a long-term retention inducement for our key employees, as discussed below under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Plans.”
Outside Advisors and Consultants. Our Compensation Committee has full access to any of our employees and has the authority to hire outside consultants and advisors at its discretion, though it did not do so in 2024. All NEO compensation determinations are made by the committee, using its independent judgment and analysis.
Role of Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee relies on our senior management to assist in fulfilling many of its duties, in particular our Executive Vice President – Human Resources and Chief Executive Officer, each of whom attends part of most committee meetings. These executives make recommendations concerning our compensation policies generally, certain specific elements of compensation for senior management (such as equity awards and bonuses), and report to the committee as to Company personnel and developments. Our executives do not participate in determining their own compensation.
Addressing Risk. Our Compensation Committee recognizes that any incentive-based compensation arrangement induces an inherent element of risk taking by senior management. We incentivize management through annual discretionary bonuses, restricted stock grants and, in some cases, performance-based bonuses. The committee assesses the risk related to our compensation policies for the named executive officers and for the employees generally and has determined that our compensation arrangements do not lend themselves to unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The committee believes that any inherent risk is mitigated by the following factors:

• | Our compensation recovery policy noted below

• | Our committee’s discretion to reduce any performance-based award

• | 70% of the equity compensation we issue vests in the third and fourth years

• | Rigorous internal and external audits of our consolidated results

• | Our commitment to full compliance with our code of conduct

• | Thorough investigation of all fraud and financial-related complaints, including those received on our anonymous hotline

The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee and committee member independence are described under “Our Corporate Governance” beginning on page 9.
Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy. We have a policy regarding the recovery of unfairly awarded compensation which requires certain of our officers, including the NEOs, to repay certain incentive compensation in the event of a restatement of our financial results as required by NYSE rules.

18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equity Award Approval Policy. We have an equity award approval policy which requires that all equity awards be approved by the committee and that the grant date of all awards, except those discussed below, shall be the date of the approval by the committee. As part of that policy, the Compensation Committee delegated to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant or accelerate the vesting of awards with respect to 50,000 shares of our common stock per year, other than awards to executive officers, provided the grant or vesting of the awards are reported to the committee at its next meeting. Our Chief Executive Officer approved the grant or vesting of awards with respect to 11,198 shares under that authority in 2024, which awards were ratified by the committee.
Timing of Awards. The only form of equity compensation employed by the Company in recent years has been awards of restricted stock vesting over four years as discussed above. These grants are made at the first regular Board meeting of the year in February (which typically occurs after release of our annual earnings) with the restricted stock vesting beginning June 1 of the following year and continuing to vest June 1 for the subsequent three years. We believe that our practice of not issuing equity linked awards that depend on the value of our stock on the date of grant, such as stock options, along with the delayed vesting of awards over four years and our issuance of awards after the public announcement of our earnings, ameliorates the risks involved with issuing awards during a time when we potentially could have material nonpublic information. We also have not, and do not intend to, time the release of material nonpublic information to influence the value of equity awards or other elements of executive compensation.
Stock Ownership Guidelines. Our stock ownership guidelines are designed to align our management and Board members’ interests with our stockholders. The guidelines require that officers and directors own the following levels of common stock, expressed as a multiple of base salary.

| Executive Officer Level |  |  | Multiple of Base Salary |
| CEO |  |  | 8x |
| President |  |  | 4x |
| Other Senior Executives |  |  | 2x |

Non-employee board members are required to own common stock equal to ten times our annual retainer (currently, $60,000 x 10 = $600,000). Directors and officers have five years from appointment to reach the minimum ownership level, though our policy allows extensions at the discretion of the Chair and Lead Director. These guidelines exclude any shares that are pledged by any of our directors and officers, and also include any shares of restricted stock held by the officer or director.
Determination of Compensation Amounts. The Compensation Committee determines all aspects of compensation for our NEOs. In making decisions regarding non-CEO compensation, the committee receives input from our Chief Executive Officer. The committee believes that solely using annual quantitative performance measurements does not create the appropriate balance of incentives to build long-term value. Thus, the committee evaluates a broad range of qualitative factors, including reliability, a track record of integrity, good judgment, foresight and the ability to lead others.
The committee reviews salary adjustments to maintain external compensation competitiveness. We annually benchmark competitiveness of our total compensation against a group of publicly traded automotive retailers which in 2024 consisted of Asbury Automotive Group, AutoNation, Group 1 Automotive, Lithia Motors and Sonic Automotive. While we benchmark our compensation, we do not target a specific quartile of pay for our NEOs as compared to our peers.
In addition to the above-mentioned factors, the level of compensation that we pay to Messrs. Denker and Kurnick reflect that each devotes a percentage of his time to affiliated companies for which they receive additional compensation from Penske Corporation. Specifically, Mr. Kurnick serves as Penske Corporation’s Vice Chair and Mr. Denker serves as the President of Penske Corporation. Our committee does not track the exact percentage of time spent on Penske Automotive versus affiliated matters, recognizing that the amount varies from year to year, but it is generally expected that each will spend approximately 75% of his time on Penske Automotive matters. We were reimbursed approximately three percent of Mr. Spradlin’s base salary by Penske Corporation to reflect his efforts on behalf of Penske Corporation. The full amount of Mr. Spradlin’s base salary is shown in the table below.
Our Compensation Program. Our compensation program primarily consists of four elements:

• | Base salary

• | Annual discretionary cash bonus payments

• | Restricted stock awards

• | Employee health and welfare plan participation and other benefits, such as a vehicle allowance

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Base Salary. The salaries of our NEOs are determined by scope of job responsibility, experience, individual performance, historical salary levels and the benchmarking information discussed above. The evaluation of the individual’s performance is based upon the committee’s perception of that individual’s performance, based in large part on input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to each of the other NEOs, and the factors noted above under “Determination of Compensation Amounts.”
The committee also considers our Company-wide performance in the prior year and general economic factors when setting base salary levels for each of the NEOs. The items of corporate performance that are considered for our NEOs are the same as those with respect to the award detailed below under “Long-Term Incentive Plans.” Our Compensation Committee uses these factors in a subjective evaluation to gauge Company performance, keeping in mind the impact of the general performance of the automotive retail industry. Beginning January 1, 2024, each of our NEO salaries were increased to the following amounts, in each case, based on the Committee’s review of these factors: Roger Penske $1,750,000; Rob Kurnick $1,000,000; Shelley Hulgrave $720,000; Bud Denker $720,000; Shane Spradlin $720,000.
Annual Bonus Payments. Our senior management is eligible to receive annual discretionary cash bonus payments. Our Chief Executive Officer and President have not received any discretionary bonus payments, and instead receive only the restricted stock grants resulting from their achievement of performance goals, as described below under “Long-Term Incentive Plans.” We pay annual cash bonuses to our other NEOs to provide an incentive for future performance and as a reward for performance during the prior year. These discretionary bonus payments are determined in varying degrees based on three criteria:

• | Company-wide performance in the prior year

• | Evaluation of an individual’s performance in the prior year

• | Evaluation of the annual performance of an individual’s business unit in the prior year

The items of Company-wide performance that are considered for our NEOs are the same as those detailed below under “Long-Term Incentive Plans.” Our Compensation Committee uses these factors to evaluate Company performance, keeping in mind the impact of the overall performance of the business sectors in which we compete. The evaluation of the individual’s performance and the performance of the individual’s business unit is based on the committee’s perception of that performance, based in part on input from our Chief Executive Officer and the factors noted above under “Determination of Compensation Amounts.”
Restricted Stock Awards. Each member of senior management, including each of the NEOs, is eligible to receive a restricted stock award each year based on achievement of performance goals in the prior year because we believe these awards effectively align management’s goals with those of our other stockholders. Restricted stock grants for management typically vest over four years at a rate of 15%, 15%, 20% and 50% per year, and are subject to forfeiture in the event the employee departs from the Company before vesting. We believe these awards provide a longer-term incentive for management because the majority of the award vests in the third and fourth year. We employ this form of compensation in part because many of our initiatives may take several years to yield benefits. We also believe that weighted vesting of these awards provides an additional incentive to retain our valuable employees due to the unvested value that may be created over time. Our restricted stock awards mirror our other outstanding stock, providing dividend and voting rights prior to vesting.
In 2024, each of our NEOs received restricted stock awards resulting from achievement of 2023 long-term incentive plan awards. In total in 2024, the committee approved the grant of 177,060 equity incentive awards under our equity plans (representing approximately 0.3% of our current outstanding equity), including all of the awards to our NEOs. Awards were granted under our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan which originally provided up to five million shares for equity awards, of which 3,595,159 remain available for issuance as of March 14, 2025. As discussed in more detail below, in 2024 we also established the performance goals for the 2024 long-term incentive plan and, in February 2025, each of our NEOs received restricted stock awards resulting from achievement of the 2024 long-term incentive plan awards.
Other Compensation. We may also provide our NEOs, and certain other employees, with selected other benefits or perquisites in order to attract and retain them. With respect to health and welfare benefits, the committee believes that our employees should receive a meaningful benefit package commensurate with those of other automotive retailers, recognizing the increasing cost of those benefits in recent years. We also provide our U.S. employees with matching under our 401(k) plan.
Our NEOs, as well as other eligible employees, may defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 95% of their bonus compensation pursuant to the Penske Automotive Group, Inc. Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

“DCP”). The DCP is an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan which provides the opportunity to accumulate additional savings for retirement on a tax deferred basis. The Company does not match funds deferred through this plan. Additional details regarding our DCP can be found below in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table.
Our NEOs and directors are also provided with an automobile allowance or the use of a Company vehicle. From time to time, we may provide other benefits to certain members of our senior management. We have valued these benefits in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation” table below based on our cost. We review these benefits on a case-by-case basis and believe, if limited in scope, such benefits can incent long-term performance and help retain our valuable employees.
No Employment Agreements or Pre-arranged Severance Compensation. None of our current executive officers have been provided an employment agreement, nor are they entitled to any pre-arranged severance compensation from our Company. We believe our mix of short-term and long-term compensation provides a retention incentive that makes an employment contract unnecessary, while providing us flexibility with respect to managing the departure of an executive officer. Our lack of pre-arranged severance compensation is consistent with our performance-based compensation philosophy and provides us the flexibility to enter into post-employment arrangements based on circumstances existing upon departure. We have historically entered into varying types of severance arrangements with departing members of our senior management, which have included vesting of restricted stock and consulting agreements, as we believe it may be important to have continuing access to these individuals’ knowledge base and guidance. With respect to a change in control, none of our current executive officers have been guaranteed any change of control payments, however, our restricted stock grants vest in the event of a change of control.
Long-Term Incentive Plans. In February 2024, our Compensation Committee established 2024 performance targets for a performance-based award for each of the NEOs. The earned payouts for these awards are set forth in the table below and were paid in shares of restricted stock in February 2025 as set forth below.
For each of the NEOs, the amount of restricted stock noted below granted in February 2025 and vesting over a four-year period was calculated by dividing the total award achieved by our average closing stock price for each trading day in 2024 ($155.76). Messrs. Kurnick and Penske do not receive cash bonuses. Their performance bonuses are paid only in shares of restricted stock as a result of the long-term incentive plans.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for 2024
The Penske Automotive Group, Inc. Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”) allows qualifying individuals, including our NEOs, to defer on a pre-tax basis up to 50% of their base salary and/or up to 95% of their annual bonus for a specified period of time, and/or until their retirement or separation from the Company. The deferred assets are held in a rabbi trust and are invested notionally on behalf of the participants. In the event of termination of employment, all balances would be paid in either a lump sum or up to ten annual installments, according to the participant’s prior election. We do not provide any matching contributions and we do not guarantee a minimum return on these amounts. We believe the DCP is an important tool for recruiting key employees and assists in employee retention. The table below reflects the contributions, earnings, withdrawals, distributions during 2024, and account balances as of December 31, 2024 for each NEO.

Pension Benefits. Our executive officers are not eligible to participate in any defined benefit compensation plans.
“Golden Parachutes” or Termination/Change in Control Payments. None of our current NEOs have been provided an employment agreement, nor are they entitled to any pre-arranged severance compensation. With respect to a change in control, none of our current NEOs have been guaranteed any change of control payments, however, our restricted stock grants vest in the event of a change of control. See the table above captioned “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2024 Year-End“ for the number of shares and values that would vest assuming a change of control occurred on December 31, 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pay Versus Performance. The SEC requires us to present the following disclosures of our “pay versus performance”. These disclosures are intended to show the relationship of the compensation we paid to certain of our executives compared to our financial performance over the past five years. Below you will find: (1) a table with five years of information on compensation “actually paid” to the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”), which is our CEO, and our other NEOs for the applicable years on average as a group, as well as Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), net income and EBITDA as adjusted if applicable, as described below; (2) disclosures explaining the relationship between compensation “actually paid” and the performance measures disclosed in the Pay versus Performance Table; and (3) a tabular list of financial performance measures we use to link compensation “actually paid” to NEOs for the last fiscal year to our performance. Our Company produced earnings in the past five years which resulted in a substantial increase in our stock price. The SEC’s definition of compensation “actually paid” includes the increase in value of unvested restricted stock held by our NEOs which vest over four years with 70% of any award vesting in the third and fourth years. As a result, compensation “actually paid” pursuant to the SEC’s definition of that term has increased significantly over that time in part as a result of appreciation in the value of unvested restricted stock. Our NEOs may or may not receive the full economic benefit of the compensation showed as “actually paid” depending on the stock price at the time of vest of the restricted stock despite the characterization of such compensation being “actually paid” pursuant to SEC rules.

The following tables show the relationship between (1) compensation “actually paid” to our CEO and the other NEOs to (2) each of total shareholder return, net income and EBITDA as adjusted if applicable. Our net income and EBITDA have increased 112% and 80%, respectively over the five year period. Compensation “actually paid” has increased over that time as well, most significantly due to the increase in value of the NEOs’ restricted stock holdings, which vest over four years with 70% of any award vesting in the third and fourth years. Our stock price has increased from $50.22 on December 31, 2019 to $152.44 on December 31, 2024, representing an increase in shareholder value based on our December 31, 2024 outstanding shares of approximately $6.8 billion. Excluding the increase in the value of unvested restricted stock, compensation “actually paid” for our CEO, and the other NEOs (consisting of salary, bonus, other compensation and the vesting of restricted stock) increased 170%, and 99%, respectively, over the five year period, as compared to an increase of total shareholder return of 235%.
As noted in the table above, our total shareholder return over the five years increased 235% as compared to a 192% increase by our Peer Group.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are required under SEC rules to also disclose the most important financial performance measures that link compensation “actually paid” to our NEOs (which amounts are shown in the table above using the SEC’s methodology) to Company performance. We believe those metrics are as follows:

| Financial Performance Measures |
| Net Income |
| Adjusted EBITDA |
| Earnings Per Share |
| Stock Price Performance |

We selected these measures because we believe our compensation “actually paid” is most influenced by two factors: (1) the amount of restricted stock granted to our NEOs under the annual performance plans over the relevant period and (2) the change in our stock price over time (see footnote 1 to the Pay Verses Performance Table above). Our 2024 performance plans include metrics for EBITDA, EPS, and stock price performance, which collectively could represent more than 50% of the total amount available under the plans. We believe the change in our stock price over time is correlated most closely to the financial performance measures EBITDA (as adjusted if applicable), EPS (as adjusted if applicable) and net income.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CEO Pay Ratio. For 2024, the estimated median of the annual total compensation of our employees other than Mr. Penske, our Chief Executive Officer, was $54,232 and the annual total compensation of Mr. Penske described elsewhere in this proxy statement was $8,777,453. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Penske to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was estimated to be 162 to 1. To identify the median of the annual total compensation of our worldwide employee population, as well as to calculate the annual total compensation of the “median employee” from this population, our methodology necessarily involved certain material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates as permitted by SEC rules and interpretations.
Pursuant to SEC rules, we are permitted to calculate our CEO pay ratio for the year ended December 31, 2024 using the same median employee that we identified in 2023 because we do not believe that there have been any changes to our employee population or employee compensation arrangements during 2024 that would have a significant impact on our pay ratio disclosure.
We identified our median employee in 2023 as of December 31, 2023, when our worldwide employee population consisted of approximately 28,279 individuals. In identifying the median employee, we excluded from our employee population all of the employees in the following jurisdictions as permitted by SEC rules and interpretations based on the small number of employees located in each: New Zealand (125), Japan (364) and Italy (731). To identify the median employee from our employee population, we compared the amount of U.S. gross taxable wages or equivalent foreign metric of our employees as reflected in our payroll records. Once we identified our median employee, we combined all the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2024 in accordance with the SEC’s requirements, resulting in the annual total compensation noted above. With respect to the annual total compensation of Mr. Penske, we used the total amount reported in the above Summary Compensation Table for 2024.

Director Compensation
The Board of Directors receives a mix of cash and equity compensation with the option to receive certain compensation in the form of equity and to defer certain compensation until separation from service. The Board of Directors approves changes to director compensation only upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Management Development Committee, which is composed solely of independent directors.
Annual Fees and Stock Award. For 2024, each non-employee director received an annual fee of $60,000, except for Audit Committee members, who receive $65,000. The Lead Director received an additional $30,000, the Chairs of our Compensation and Management Development Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each received an additional $15,000 and our Audit Committee Chair received $20,000. Greg Penske, our Vice Chair of the Board, receives an additional $50,000 in fees. These fees are payable, at the option of each non-employee director, in cash or common stock valued on the date of receipt. Our non-employee directors also received an annual grant of $250,000 of shares of stock or deferred stock (at their prior election) in December valued on the date of grant.
Option to Defer Receipt until Termination of Board Service. Our Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan allows our outside directors to defer their director compensation until termination of their service. Any amount deferred will be paid, at the director’s election, in either a lump sum or five annual installments upon their termination from the Board. Directors may defer their annual stock award into deferred stock units and may defer their cash compensation into a notional cash account or deferred stock units. Each deferred stock unit represents the right to receive payment of the value of one share of common stock, and ultimately will be paid in stock or cash after a director separates from service. These stock units do not have voting rights but do receive dividends in the form of additional stock units which are credited to the director’s account on the date dividends are paid. All cash fees deferred into the notional cash account are credited with a rate of return based 50% on a S&P 500 index fund and 50% on a bond fund.
Charitable Donation Matching Program. All directors are eligible to participate in a charitable matching gift program. Under this program, we match up to $50,000 per year in contributions by each director to institutions qualified as tax-exempt organizations under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and other institutions approved at the discretion of management. We may decline to match any contribution to an institution with goals that are incompatible with ours, or due to conflicts with our director independence policy. This program is not available for matching of political contributions. While the contributions are directed by our directors, we retain the tax deduction for matching contributions paid by us.
Other Amounts. As part of our director continuing education program, each director is eligible to be reimbursed by us for the cost and expenses relating to one education seminar per year. These amounts are excluded from the table below. Each non-employee director is also entitled to the use of a Company vehicle, including the cost of routine maintenance and repairs and Company-sponsored automobile insurance relating to that vehicle. For any director who declines the use of a Company-sponsored vehicle, we provide a $20,000 cash payment in lieu of the Company-sponsored vehicle, which the director may elect to receive in equity or may elect to defer it until separation from service, consistent with our policy for annual director fees described above. All directors are also entitled to reimbursement for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their travel to, and attendance at, meetings of the Board of Directors or its committees. Because we expect attendance at all meetings, and a substantial portion of the Board of Directors’ work is done outside of formal meetings, we do not pay meeting fees.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Related Party Transactions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy with respect to the approval of related party transactions. Under the policy, related party transactions valued over $120,000 must be approved by a majority of either the members of our Audit Committee or our disinterested Board members. Our Audit Committee approves all individual related party transactions valued below $5 million, all multiple-payment transactions valued below $25 million (such as a lease), and any transaction substantially similar to a prior year’s transaction (regardless of amount). Our Board, by a vote of the disinterested directors, reviews and approves all other related party transactions. At each regularly scheduled meeting, our Audit Committee reviews any proposed new related party transactions for approval and reviews the status of previously approved transactions. Each of the transactions noted below was approved by our Board of Directors or Audit Committee pursuant to this policy.
Stockholders Agreement. Entities affiliated with Roger Penske, our Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, are parties to a stockholders agreement described below. Mr. Penske is also Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Penske Corporation (“PC”), and, through entities affiliated with PC, our largest stockholder. The parties to the stockholders agreement are Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Mitsui & Co, (USA), Inc. (collectively, “Mitsui”), PC and Penske Automotive Holdings Corp. (collectively the “Penske companies”).
Pursuant to the stockholders agreement, which expires March 26, 2030, in connection with any shareholder election of directors of the Company, the Penske companies agreed to vote their shares for two directors who are representatives of Mitsui as long as Mitsui owns in excess of 20% of our outstanding common stock, and for one director as long as Mitsui owns in excess of 10% of our outstanding common stock. Mitsui agreed to vote its shares for up to fourteen directors voted for by the Penske companies. In addition, the Penske companies agreed that if they transfer any of our shares of common stock, Mitsui would be entitled to “tag along” by transferring a pro rata amount of its shares upon similar terms and conditions, subject to certain limitations.
We and Mitsui have agreed that Mitsui has a right to (1) an observer at all of our Board of Directors meetings so long as Mitsui owns at least 2.5% of our outstanding common stock, and (2) designate a senior executive so long as Mitsui owns at least 10% of our outstanding common stock.
Voting Agreement. On January 23, 2024, we entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with PC pursuant to which PC agreed, on each matter brought to a vote at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by consent of our stockholders in lieu of a meeting, to vote all shares of Voting Common Stock, or other voting or equity securities of ours which could be issued (together with the Voting Common Stock, the “Voting Securities”) beneficially owned by PC, that, together with the Voting Securities held by Roger S. Penske, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, and any entity that Roger S. Penske controls, exceed 43.57% of the outstanding Voting Securities (the “Excess Voting Securities”), in the same proportion as all votes cast by stockholders other than PC, Roger S. Penske or any entity that Roger S. Penske controls (except as otherwise required by the existing Shareholders Agreement described above). Any Voting Securities that are not Excess Voting Securities may be voted at the discretion of PC. The Voting Agreement will terminate per its terms at the time that PC ceases to beneficially own 30% or more of the Voting Securities then outstanding.
On December 27, 2023, plaintiff Jeffrey Edelman (the “Plaintiff”), a purported stockholder of ours, filed a putative class action and stockholder derivative complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) against all of our directors, a former director, and PC (together, the “Defendants”) under the caption Edelman v. Penske, et al., C.A. No. 2023-1291-JTL (the “Action”). The claims in the Complaint related to our securities repurchase programs in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Among other allegations, the Plaintiff claimed that Board members breached their fiduciary duties in approving these securities repurchase programs, and that PC and Roger S. Penske as controllers of the Company also breached their fiduciary duties because the repurchase programs allegedly permitted the controllers to attain majority voting control of the Company without paying a control premium. Defendants believe that the allegations of the Complaint were meritless, deny those allegations, and deny that any violation of applicable law has occurred. However, solely to minimize expenses and distraction and to avoid the uncertainty of any litigation, we entered into the Voting Agreement referenced above in response to the Complaint. Plaintiff agreed that the Voting Agreement successfully mooted the claims set forth in the Complaint and on January 24, 2024 filed with the Court a Stipulation and Proposed Order Voluntarily Dismissing The Action As Moot. We ultimately paid $995,000 to the Plaintiff and his attorneys in full satisfaction of any and all claims by Plaintiff and his counsel for fees and expenses. On February 8, 2024, the Court entered an order closing the Action.

Registration Rights Agreements. Both the Penske companies and Mitsui possess registration rights pursuant to which they are able on two remaining occasions each to register all or part of our common stock held by them, subject to specified limitations. They are also entitled to request inclusion of all or any part of their common stock in any registration of securities by us on Forms S-1 or S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Other Related Party Interests. Several of our directors and officers are affiliated with Penske Corporation or related entities. The Vice Chair of our Board of Directors, Greg Penske, is the son of our CEO, Roger S. Penske, and Greg Penske also serves as a director of Penske Corporation. Robert H. Kurnick, Jr., our President and a Director, is also the Vice Chair and a Director of Penske Corporation and an Advisory Board member of PTS. Mr. Denker, our Executive Vice President – Human Resources is the President of Penske Corporation. Mr. Eisenson, one of our directors, is a director of Penske Corporation and an Advisory Board member of PTS. Lisa Davis, one of our directors, is also an Advisory Board member of PTS. In 2024, we were reimbursed approximately three percent of the base salary of Shane Spradlin, our General Counsel, by Penske Corporation to reflect his efforts on behalf of Penske Corporation affiliates. These employees or directors may receive salary, bonus or other compensation from Penske Corporation or its affiliates unrelated to their service at the Company.
Penske Transportation Solutions. We hold a 28.9% ownership interest in Penske Truck Leasing Co., L.P (“PTL”). PTL is owned 41.1% by Penske Corporation, 28.9% by us, and 30.0% by Mitsui. Penske Transportation Solutions (“PTS”) is the universal brand name for PTL’s various business lines through which it is capable of meeting customers’ needs across the supply chain with a broad product offering that includes full-service truck leasing, truck rental and contract maintenance, along with logistics services such as dedicated contract carriage, distribution center management, freight management and dry van truckload carrier services.
The PTS partnership agreement, among other things, provides us with specified partner distribution and governance rights and restricts our ability to transfer our interest. PTS has an eleven member Advisory Board. We have the right to appoint one Advisory Board member and the right to an observer for any Board committees. Mr. Kurnick, our President, serves as our representative. We have the right to pro rata quarterly distributions equal to at least 50% of PTS’s consolidated net income and have minority rights which require our and/or Mitsui’s consent for certain actions taken by PTS as specified in the partnership agreement.
We may transfer our directly owned interests with the unanimous consent of the other partners, or if we provide the remaining partners with a right of first offer to acquire our interests, except that we may transfer up to 9.02% of our interest to Penske Corporation without complying with the right of first offer to the remaining partner. We and Penske Corporation have previously agreed that (1) in the event of any transfer by Penske Corporation of their partnership interests to a third party, we will be entitled to “tag-along” by transferring a pro rata amount of our partnership interests on similar terms and conditions, and (2) Penske Corporation is entitled to a right of first refusal in the event of any transfer of our partnership interests, subject to the terms of the partnership agreement. Additionally, PTS has agreed to indemnify the general partner for any actions in connection with managing PTS, except those taken in bad faith or in violation of the partnership agreement.
The partnership agreement allows Penske Corporation to give notice to require PTS to begin to effect an initial public offering of equity securities, subject to certain limitations, as soon as practicable after the first anniversary of the initial notice, and, beginning in 2025, we and Mitsui continue to have a similar right to require PTS to begin an initial public offering of equity securities, subject to certain limitations, as soon as reasonably practicable.
In 2024, we received $98.4 million from PTS in pro rata cash distributions. Our Chair and Chief Executive Officer also serves as Chair of PTS, for which he is compensated by PTS. As a limited partner, we do not influence or control the amount of that compensation. In 2024, our business unit operating retail commercial truck dealerships, Premier Truck Group (“PTG”), assisted in providing customer financing arrangements at several PTS used truck sales centers in the United States and Canada generating $3.7 million in net commissions to PTG in 2024. We closed one of our U.S. CarShop locations and in August 2024, we assigned the real property lease with a monthly rent of $62,500 from a third party landlord through April 2036 for that location to PTS. We also leased PTS the fixed assets relating to that site for a period co-terminus with the underlying lease for $52,500 per month, which lease also provided PTS with a purchase right of those assets at their election. We received $210,000 from PTS under that lease in 2024. In December, 2024, we sold substantially all of the assets and real property relating to a collision and body shop repair facility operated by PTG in Eagan, Minnesota to PTS for $6.9 million. The purchase agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the Company and PTS and we and PTS have agreed to indemnify one another against certain incurred losses, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.

In February 2025, PTG and PTS entered into a consignment agreement whereby PTS consigns certain commercial vehicles to PTG dealerships for sale. Upon a sale of a vehicle, PTG collects a mutually agreed wholesale price per vehicle and is reimbursed certain other expenses.
Our Australian subsidiary, Penske Transportation Group International, owns an approximately 28% interest in a joint venture with a PTS subsidiary to lease trucks in Australia and New Zealand. The joint venture combines our sales expertise in Australia with PTS’s truck leasing experience. We continue to be party to a stockholder’s agreement relating to this investment that provides us with specified distribution and governance rights and restricts our ability to transfer our interests.
Other Transactions. From time to time, we pay to and/or receive fees from Penske Corporation and its affiliates for services rendered in the normal course of business, including payments to third parties by Penske Corporation on our behalf which we then reimburse to them, payments to third parties made by us on behalf of Penske Corporation which they then reimburse to us, shared office expenses, shared employee expenses and payments relating to the use of aircraft from Penske Jet, a division of Penske Corporation. These transactions are reviewed periodically by our Audit Committee and reflect the provider’s cost, or an amount mutually agreed upon by both parties. Aggregate payments relating to such transactions amounted to $5.8 million paid by us in 2024.
We are party to a license agreement with an affiliate of Penske Corporation for a license of the “Penske Automotive” name. This agreement provides us with a perpetual license of the name “Penske Automotive” and related trade names so long as Penske Corporation and its affiliates own in excess of 20% of our outstanding common stock and we adhere to the other terms of the license agreement.
On December 22, 2023, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Penske Investments Limited Partnership, a Nevada partnership owned by entities affiliated with our Chair and Chief Executive Officer Roger S. Penske (“PILP”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Don Allen Auto Service, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Dealership Entity”), for an initial purchase price of $12,340,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The Dealership Entity owns Don Allen Ford Nantucket and Don Allen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (the “Dealerships”) located in Nantucket, MA, as well as associated real property. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price was to be increased or decreased after the closing based on the finally determined net worth of the Dealership Entity as of the closing date compared to a net worth target based on the Dealership Entity’s historical assets and liabilities. The Company retained a $650,000 holdback from the purchase price to account for potential adjustments. We closed the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on January 16, 2024 and the parties subsequently determined the final purchase price was $11,537,231. As a result, $152,769 of the purchase price was refunded to the Company and the Company retained the entire holdback amount. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the Company and PILP. The Company and PILP have also agreed to various covenants in the Purchase Agreement, including customary non-solicitation and non-competition covenants. The Company and PILP have agreed to indemnify one another against certain incurred losses, subject to customary exceptions and limitations.
From time to time, we enter into arrangements with PTS and/or other Penske Corporation affiliates and third-party vendors in order to achieve the benefits of scale or synergy opportunities as between the companies. For example, we aggregate several Penske entities in connection with sourcing certain telecommunications services to achieve the benefits of scale.
Our officers, directors and their affiliates periodically purchase, lease or sell vehicles and parts from us or PTS at fair market value. This includes purchases and sales of trucks, logistics and other services and parts as between our subsidiaries and those of PTS (principally consisting of purchases of $34.9 million of trucks and parts by PTS from our PTG subsidiaries, and purchases of $5.0 million of used trucks and towing services by PTG from PTS).
We sponsor the Porsche Penske Motorsport Program, a collaboration between Dr. Ing. h.c. F, Porsche Aktiengesellschaft (“Porsche”) and Penske Racing a cost of $4.0 million per year which provides us the benefits of being a sponsor of the Porsche Penske Motorsport racing team in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and FIA World Endurance Championship, including certain marketing, branding and promotional rights. Additionally, we have the opportunity to share motorsport experiences with our customers, including through hospitality packages, Porsche driving experiences, and access to Porsche’s global customer experience centers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Questions about the Meeting
Q. Who can vote?
A. Our stockholders as of the close of business on the record date, March 20, 2025, can vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of our common stock gets one vote. Votes may not be cumulated. As of March 20, 2025, there were 66,747,196 shares of our common stock outstanding, excluding treasury shares. Company treasury shares will not be voted. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially in street name.
Q. Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
A. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials primarily over the Internet rather than mailing paper copies of those materials to each stockholder. On or about March 20, 2025, we will mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders, which provides website and other information for the purpose of accessing our proxy materials. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request a printed or electronic set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. We encourage you to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the cost and environmental impact of the printing and mailing of materials for the Annual Meeting.
Q. How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?
A. The Notice provides you with instructions regarding how to view our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet and how to instruct us to send proxy materials to you by email. Choosing to receive proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the printing and mailing of materials for our Annual Meeting on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting website. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect unless and until you rescind it.
Q. What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?
A. Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Limited, you are the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and we sent the Notice directly to you. If you request copies of the proxy materials by mail, you will receive a proxy card.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.

At the Virtual Meeting. You may vote virtually at the Annual Meeting by following the procedures set forth above. Additionally, if you hold your shares in street name you must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares of record in order to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions on the Notice to obtain this legal proxy.
For both stockholders of record and beneficial owners of shares held in street name (other than stockholders within our 401(k) plan), online and telephone voting is available through 11:59 p.m. ET on May 12, 2025. For shares held by the stock fund within the Company’s 401(k) plan, online and telephone voting is available through 11:59 p.m. ET on May 9, 2025.
Q. Can I change my mind after I vote?
A. You may change your vote at any time before the meeting by (1) signing and returning another proxy card with a later date (or voting through the Internet or telephone again), (2) voting at the meeting if you are a registered stockholder or have obtained a legal proxy from your bank or broker or (3) sending a notice to our Corporate Secretary prior to the meeting stating that you are revoking your proxy. If you are attending the meeting, you will have access to the Company appointed proxies to change your vote until the polls close.
Q. What if I return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?
A. Proxies that are signed and returned but do not contain instructions will be voted FOR each of the proposals, including a vote for annual advisory votes on executive compensation.
Q. Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy instruction form?
A. If you are a stockholder of record and do not provide a proxy, you must attend the meeting in order to vote your shares. If you are a beneficial holder of shares held in street name, your shares may be voted on “routine” matters as discussed below even if you do not provide voting instructions on your instruction form as discussed below.
Q. May stockholders ask questions at the meeting?
A. Yes. Our representatives will answer stockholders’ questions of general interest at the end of the meeting. In order to give a greater number of stockholders an opportunity to ask questions, individuals or groups may be allowed to ask only one question.
Q. How many votes must be present to hold the meeting?
A. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person or if you properly return a proxy card or vote via the Internet or telephone. In order for us to conduct our meeting, a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of March 20, 2025 must be present in person or by proxy at the meeting (33,373,599 shares). This is referred to as a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of establishing a quorum at the meeting.
Q. What is the effect of withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes and how are they treated?
A. If you “withhold” with respect to one or more director nominees, your vote will have no effect on the election of such nominee(s), as the thirteen nominees receiving the highest number of “For” votes will be elected as directors.
If you elect to “abstain” with respect to any proposal, the shares are considered present and entitled to vote with respect to such proposal and included for purposes of calculating the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting but will otherwise not effect the outcome of the proposal.
A broker non-vote with respect to a proposal occurs when shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee in street name, and the bank, broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner as to how to vote such shares. Brokers have the authority under New York Stock Exchange rules to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters resulting in a broker non-vote. Under these rules, only the proposal to ratify our independent auditing firm is a “routine matter” being voted on by our stockholders this year. Broker non-votes will only be counted for Proposal 2.
Q. How many votes are needed to approve the proposals?
A. Regarding the election of directors (Proposal 1), our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast and the thirteen nominees receiving the highest number of “For” votes will be elected as directors. The other proposals will pass if each receives the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present and entitled to vote at the meeting.
