On August 15, 2016, Diebold, Incorporated (the Company) announced that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Wincor Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft (Wincor Nixdorf AG) through its voluntary takeover offer for all the company's ordinary shares. Due to the consummation of the acquisition and the ongoing integration of the two companies in the third quarter of 2016, data and other information regarding certain material operations of the Company, as well as its financial statements required for the filing, are not currently available and could not be made available without unreasonable effort and expense.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
 
 
 
(3)
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
 
 
 
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
 
 
 
 
We anticipate the financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 will differ significantly from the same periods of 2015 due to the material acquisition of Wincor Nixdorf AG on August 15, 2016. Unlike the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 will reflect the financial position and results of operations of Wincor Nixdorf AG for the periods reported from the acquisition date. Wincor Nixdorf AG's results of operations will significantly impact net sales and cost of sales, operating expenses, as well as change our net income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 when compared to the same periods of 2015. The exact impact will not be known until the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are completed.
