On behalf of Diebold Nixdorf's
board, Henry D.G. Wallace, current
Chairman of the Board said, "Over the past several years, the
company has achieved a great deal, including the acquisition of
Wincor Nixdorf AG which created an industry leader with increased
global scale and market diversity. We have made great strides
in our integration through the launch of the DN2020 transformation
program, and capturing substantial synergies with more on the way.
We now look forward to a bright future as a unified company. We
thank Andy for his vision and leadership, including overseeing the
transaction and integration, and for bringing us to this point in
our history."
Gary G. Greenfield, who as
previously announced will become Chairman of the Board on
January 1, 2018, said, "Given the
significant changes taking place in our industry, now is the time
for Diebold Nixdorf to leverage the
full strength of the organization and enhance its focus on the new
era of global connected commerce. I look forward to helping
the board conduct a rigorous review of a diverse set of CEO
candidates, so we can bring the expertise and knowledge necessary
to lead Diebold Nixdorf into its
next phase of growth."
Also today, Diebold Nixdorf
reaffirmed its full-year 2017 guidance of approximately
$4.6 billion in revenue, adjusted
EBITDA of $370 million to
$380 million and a non-GAAP EPS range
of $1.05 to $1.15.

vice president and chief financial officer. He joined Diebold in

(1) - The
company expects a non-GAAP effective tax rate to be around 20% for
the full year. With respect to the company's non-GAAP tax rate
outlook for 2017, the company is not providing the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure and, with respect to the
company's non-GAAP tax rate and adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2017,
the company is not providing corresponding reconciliations because
it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that
may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures exclude the
future impact of restructuring actions, net non-routine items,
acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses and
purchase accounting fair value adjustments. These reconciling items
are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly
impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our future period
tax rate calculated and presented in accordance with
GAAP.
