DIEBOLD CFO RESIGNS; KRAKORA NAMED INTERIM CFO
Company initiates internal and external search for successor

         NORTH CANTON, Ohio -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today announced
that Gregory T. Geswein, senior vice president and chief financial officer has
resigned, effective August 12, 2005. After serving as CFO for more than five
years, Geswein is leaving the company to become CFO of The Reynolds and Reynolds
Company (NYSE: REY), based near Dayton, Ohio. Kevin J. Krakora, vice president
and corporate controller, has been named interim CFO until a successor is
identified. Diebold will be conducting an internal and external search for a
successor.

         "Greg's leadership has been instrumental to the company's success over
the past five years. This is a voluntary decision on Greg's part, and we wish
him well in his future endeavors. He will be missed," said Walden W. O'Dell,
chairman and chief executive officer. "During his tenure, Greg built a very
capable financial team, which will ensure a smooth transition as we search for a
successor."

          Prior to joining Diebold as CFO in April 2000, Geswein spent a year
with Agilysys (formerly Pioneer-Standard Electronics) in Cleveland, Ohio as CFO
and 13 years with Mead Corporation in Dayton, Ohio. Originally from Ironton,
Ohio, Geswein earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration and an MBA,
from the University of Cincinnati.

          "While I am very proud to have been a part of Diebold's transformation
over the past five years, I am looking forward to returning to my roots in
Southwest Ohio," said Geswein. "This affords me a unique opportunity to be
closer to my family in that area."
