Letter from Andy Mattes to the shareholders of Wincor Nixdorf AG

March 3, 2016

Dear Shareholders of Wincor Nixdorf AG,

As you may already be aware, on February 5, 2016 Diebold, Inc. (Diebold) made a public takeover offer for shares in Wincor Nixdorf AG (Wincor Nixdorf). Because you are a shareholder of the company, we would like to inform you about the advantages of the planned combination.

The offer from Diebold to you as a shareholder of Wincor Nixdorf encompasses the exchange of your shares for €38.98 in cash plus 0.434 Diebold shares (ISIN: US2536511031) for each Wincor Nixdorf share. The acceptance period ends on March 22, 2016. Regarding the details of the offer, especially its terms, the settlement-procedure and the implications of the offer, we refer to the offer document published by Diebold.

So why are we planning this combination? The combined company, Diebold Nixdorf, will benefit from a complementary geographic presence of the two companies – Diebold is a self-service leader in the Americas while Wincor Nixdorf is a leader in Europe. Together, we can become an even stronger global partner for our customers. We will strengthen our innovative capability, we will increase our combined revenue to about 5.2 billion U.S. dollars and we expect to generate annual synergies of 160 million U.S. dollars by the end of the third year. Overall, this will support Diebold Nixdorf in achieving a non-GAAP operating margin of more than 9% by the end of year three.

This is not only the opinion of Diebold’s board. Wincor Nixdorf’s management and supervisory boards fully support the planned combination. On February 11, 2016 the management and supervisory boards of Wincor Nixdorf published their joint reasoned statement regarding the combination with Diebold. In this statement, both bodies of Wincor Nixdorf recommend that shareholders of Wincor Nixdorf accept Diebold’s offer.

Dear shareholders, this is solely your decision. However, we would like to encourage you to examine your options in light of this offer. For this purpose, the following phone number is available to you: 00 800 3816 3816. You can also obtain further information at our website www.diebold.com/dieboldwincor.

We are very excited about the opportunities, the solutions, the software and value-added service offerings which we will be able to generate through this combination for all our customers around the globe. The combination offers a great opportunity and strong future perspective for all stakeholders.

Be part of shaping this future and tender your shares until March 22, 2016 or dispose them in another way and, by that, enable the acquirer to accept the offer.
