EU: Diebold gets more antitrust approvals for $1.8 billion purchase

By  |  May 31, 2016

Diebold Inc. continues to get antitrust approval for its $1.8 billion purchase of Germany-based ATM maker Wincor Nixdorf AG that will create the world’s largest ATM manufacturer and financial services software company.

Green-based Diebold on Tuesday said it recently cleared antitrust requirements in Portugal, Russia, Slovakia and Spain.

Diebold earlier obtained antitrust clearance in the United States, China, Turkey and Austria.

The takeover offer still needs antitrust approval in other countries. The acquisition is expected to close this summer. Diebold will then change its name to Diebold Nixdorf.
