Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated Receives Continued Listing Standard Notice from NYSE; Company Further Extends Exchange Offer with Respect to its Outstanding 8.50% Senior Notes Due 2024

HUDSON, Ohio, May 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (the “Company”) (NYSE: DBD) today announced it received a notice (the “Listing Standard Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that as of May 4, 2023 it was not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards because the average closing price of the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. Additionally, the Company has further extended its previously announced public exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) with respect to the Company’s outstanding 8.50% Senior Notes due 2024 (144A CUSIP: 253651AA1; REG S CUSIP: U25316AA5; Registered CUSIP: 253651AC7) (the “2024 Senior Notes”).

Continued Listing Standard Notice from NYSE
The Listing Standard Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Common Shares on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s other continued listing requirements.

The Company intends to respond to the NYSE within ten business days of receipt of the Listing Standard Notice affirming its intent to cure the deficiency, subject to the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s other continued listing requirements. Pursuant to the NYSE’s rules, the Company has a six-month period following receipt of the Listing Standard Notice to regain compliance with the NYSE’s minimum share price requirement. The Company can regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement at any time during the six-month cure period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period or on the last day of the cure period, the Company has (i) a closing share price of at least $1.00, and (ii) an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the consecutive 30 trading-day periods ending on the last trading day of that month.

As previously announced, the Company continues to have ongoing conversations with its lending partners to address short- and long-term liquidity needs, the Company’s capital structure and deleveraging its balance sheet. While the Company expects these conversations to bear on its ability to comply with NYSE’s continued listing requirements, the outcome of these conversations remains uncertain. The receipt of the Listing Standard Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Exchange Offer Extension
Under the Exchange Offer, the Company is offering to exchange any and all of the 2024 Senior Notes for units consisting of (i) new 8.50%/12.50% Senior Secured PIK Toggle Notes due 2026 to be issued by the Company and (ii) warrants to purchase common shares, par value $1.25 per share, of the Company.

The Exchange Offer, which was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2023, has been extended until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 19, 2023, unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company (such time and date, as it may be further extended, the “Expiration Time”). Any 2024 Senior Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Time, but not thereafter (the “Withdrawal Deadline”).

Except for the extension of the Expiration Time and Withdrawal Deadline, all other terms of the Exchange Offer remain unchanged.

In light of ongoing conversations with the Company’s lending partners to address short- and long-term liquidity needs, the Company’s capital structure and deleveraging its balance sheet, the Company currently believes that it is unlikely that the Exchange Offer will be consummated. While the Company currently expects that these conversations are likely to result in a transaction or other capital structure solution that would not include a consummation of the Exchange Offer, there is no assurance as to the outcome of these conversations.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 5, 2023, which was the previous expiration time for the Exchange Offer, the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, as advised by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Information and Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer, was as set forth in the table below:

The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer are described in the preliminary prospectus, dated March 27, 2023. The completion of the Exchange Offer is subject to the conditions described in the Exchange Offer documents, which include, among others, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below). The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of 2024 Senior Notes being tendered. Subject to applicable law, the Company may waive certain other conditions applicable to the Exchange Offer or extend, terminate or otherwise amend the Exchange Offer in its sole discretion.

A registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Original Registration Statement”), as amended by Amendment No.1 to the Original Registration Statement (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), relating to the New Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective.

If and when issued, the New Securities will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
