Chapter 11 Cases and Dutch Scheme Proceedings

Chapter 11 Cases and Dutch Scheme Proceedings

On June 1, 2023, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking relief under he U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The cases were jointly administered under the Chapter 11 Cases. Additionally, on June 1, 2023, Diebold Dutch filed a scheme of arrangement relating to the Dutch Scheme Parties and the Restructuring Proceedings under the Dutch Act on Confirmation of Extrajudicial Plans (Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord) in the Dutch Court. In addition, on June 12, 2023, Diebold Dutch filed a voluntary petition for relief under the Chapter 15 Proceedings.

On July 13, 2023, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the Confirmation Order) confirming the Debtors’ Second Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the U.S. Plan). On August 2, 2023, the Dutch Court entered an order (the WHOA Sanction Order) sanctioning the Netherlands WHOA Plan of Diebold Dutch and the Dutch Scheme Companies (the WHOA Plan) in the Dutch Scheme Proceedings. On August 7, 2023, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court entered an order in the Chapter 15 Proceedings recognizing the WHOA Plan and the WHOA Sanction Order.

On August 11, 2023 (the Effective Date or Fresh Start Reporting Date), the U.S. Plan and WHOA Plan (together, the Plans) became effective in accordance with their terms and the Debtors and the Dutch Scheme Parties emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases and the Dutch Scheme Proceedings. Following filing the notice of the Effective Date with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Chapter 15 Proceedings were closed.

Fresh Start Accounting

Upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and Dutch Scheme Proceedings, the Company qualified for and adopted Fresh Start Accounting, which resulted in the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes (the Successor).

The reorganization value derived from the range of enterprise values associated with the Plans was allocated to the Company’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values (except for deferred income taxes) with the remaining excess value allocated to goodwill.

As a result of the adoption of Fresh Start Accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plans, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements of the Successor, are not comparable to its condensed consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor.
