Exhibit 99.2
Diebold, Incorporated
North Canton, Ohio, United States of America
Announcement pursuant to section 23 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 3 of the German Securities Acquisitions and Takeover Act (Wertpapiererwerbs- und Übernahmegesetz, WpÜG)
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
On February 5, 2016, Diebold, Incorporated, North Canton, Ohio, United States of America (the Bidder) has published the offer document (Offer Document) for its voluntary public takeover offer in the form of a combined cash and exchange offer (Takeover Offer) to the shareholders of Wincor Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft, Paderborn, Germany (Wincor Nixdorf) regarding the acquisition of all of their no-par value bearer shares in Wincor Nixdorf each with a notional interest in the share capital of EUR 1.00 (ISIN: DE000A0CAYB2) (Wincor Nixdorf-Shares) for a consideration of EUR 38.98 in cash and 0.434 shares of the Bidder (ISIN: US2536511031) for each Wincor Nixdorf-Share. The acceptance period for this Takeover Offer expired on March 22, 2016 at 24.00 hours (CET), and the additional acceptance period expired on April 12, 2016 at 24.00 hours (CEST) (Reference Date). In case of a settlement of the Takeover Offer, tendered Wincor Nixdorf-Shares will be transferred pursuant to the terms of the Offer Document directly from the tendering shareholders of Wincor Nixdorf to Diebold Holding Germany Inc. & Co. KGaA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bidder.
1. | As of the Reference Date, the Takeover Offer has been accepted in the acceptance period for a total of 22,876,760 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares. This corresponds to approximately 69.1% of the share capital and voting rights of Wincor Nixdorf. |
2. | As of the Reference Date, the Bidder held no Wincor Nixdorf-Shares directly. This corresponds to 0% of the share capital and voting rights in Wincor Nixdorf. However, as of the Reference Date, 241,324 voting rights arising out of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares were attributed to the Bidder in accordance with section 30 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 6 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act. This corresponds to 0.73% of the share capital and voting rights in Wincor Nixdorf. |
3. | As of the Reference Date, the Diebold Incorporated Pension Master Trust, a person acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of section 2 para. 5 sentence 1 and 3 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, held 4,100 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares (4,100 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares thereof were already held at the date of publication of the Takeover Offer). This corresponds to 0.012% of the share capital and voting rights in |
Wincor Nixdorf which will be attributed to the Bidder in accordance with section 30 para 1 sentence 1 no. 1 sentence 3 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act. Diebold Incorporated Master Trust accepted the Takeover Offer for these Wincor Nixdorf-Shares. Therefore these Wincor Nixdorf-Shares are included in the number of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares described under 1. |
4. | As of the Reference Date, the Wincor Nixdorf Facility GmbH, a subsidiary of Wincor Nixdorf, a person acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of section 2 para. 5 sentence 1 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act, held 3,268,777 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares (3,268,777 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares thereof were already held at the date of publication of the Takeover Offer) (Treasury Shares). This corresponds to approximately 9.88% of the share capital and voting rights in Wincor Nixdorf. Wincor Nixdorf Facility GmbH is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Wincor Nixdorf. Therefore, in accordance with sections 71b, 71d sentences 2 and 4 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG), Wincor Nixdorf Facility GmbH is not entitled to any rights arising out of these Treasury Shares. Wincor Nixdorf and Wincor Nixdorf Facility GmbH entered into a Blocked Account and Non-Tender Agreement with the Bidder in which they agreed, among others, not to tender the Treasury Shares in the course of the Takeover Offer. |
5. | In addition, as of the Reference Date, neither the Bidder nor any person acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of section 2 para. 5 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act nor their subsidiaries held Wincor Nixdorf-Shares nor were any additional voting rights of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares attributed to them in accordance with section 30 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act. Further, as of the Reference Date, neither the Bidder nor any person acting jointly with the Bidder within the meaning of section 2 para. 5 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act nor their subsidiaries held neither directly nor indirectly any instruments within the meaning of section 25 of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz, WpHG) and therefore held no further, in accordance with sections 25, 25a of the German Securities Trading Act reportable, voting rights in relation to Wincor Nixdorf. |
The total number of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares and voting rights of the Bidder arising out of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares for which the Takeover Offer was accepted until the Reference Date and of voting rights arising out of Wincor Nixdorf-Shares attributable to the Bidder in accordance with section 30 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 6 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act as of the Reference Date amounts to 23,118,084 Wincor Nixdorf-Shares and voting rights in Wincor Nixdorf-Shares. This corresponds to approximately 69.9% of the share capital and voting rights in Wincor Nixdorf.
The Takeover Offer is still subject to the fulfillment of the closing condition pursuant to section 11.1.1 (antitrust clearances) of the Offer Document.
