Item 8.01 Other Events.

     In the fourth quarter of 2009, Diebold, Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that its subsidiary Procomp Amazonia Industria Eletronica S.A. (“Procomp”) had been awarded a contract by the Superior Electoral Court (“TSE”) of Brazil for the purchase of up to 250,000 electronic voting machines. At that time, the TSE initially ordered 165,000 terminals for delivery primarily in the second and third quarters of 2010.

     On June 25, 2010, the TSE ordered an additional 30,000 terminals, under the same contract terms, with delivery expected in the third quarter of 2010. Accordingly, the agreement allows the TSE to purchase up to an additional 55,000 terminals from Procomp through 2010. The projected revenue associated with the additional 30,000 terminals is approximately US$18 million at today’s exchange rate.

     In this Current Report on Form 8-K, statements that are not historical information are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the purchase by TSE of all or any portion of the 250,000 voting terminals that were the subject of the public bid. The use of the words “will”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends” and similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, these forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, final purchasing decisions to be made by the TSE, including any budgetary constraints that it may encounter.
