Dear Ms. Mills-Apenteng:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), Diebold, Incorporated (the Company) hereby requests that the effectiveness of the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-208186 (the Registration Statement) be accelerated so that it will be declared effective at 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on February 5, 2016, or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
In making this request, the Company is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above-referenced Registration Statement and acknowledges that:
| should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) or its staff (the Staff), acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission |
-2- |
| the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and |
| the Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
It would be appreciated if, as soon as the Registration Statement is declared effective, you would so inform Catherine M. Clarkin at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP by telephone at (212) 558-4175 or by email (clarkinc@sullcrom.com).
