Abstract
The merger brought together two leading competitors in the market of self-service transaction systems (including ATMs), electronic and physical security products, software and related professional services for global financial and retail markets. Diebold Nixdorf, the combined organisation, is a global leader in connected commerce: providing financial self-service, payment terminals and information technology systems as well as the software and professional services that support them, empowering and enabling banking and retail partners to connect their customers with money in new and innovative ways. [...]the SEC declared the Form S-4 effective on the same day the German offer document was published, as approved by German regulator BaFin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority), commencing the tender offer. There had been a couple of other large-scale US-German combinations, such as the merger of Daimler with Chrysler and the proposed combination of the New Yok Stock Exchange and Deutsche Borse, but the Diebold Nixdorf transaction marked the first time that a US bidder offered stock as part of the offer consideration in a public takeover offer of a German listed company. [...]the Diebold Nixdorf community - our employees, partners and customers - can all focus on the future of our industry.
