REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Plan Administrator and Participants
Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan
North Canton, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i — Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2010 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
(1) Description of the Plan
    The following brief description of the Diebold, Incorporated 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan), as amended, provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
  (a)   General
      The Plan was established as a defined contribution plan effective as of April 1, 1990 by Diebold, Incorporated (the Employer). The Plan consists of two distinct components. The first component is the profit sharing portion, including cash or deferred arrangement, intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which consists of all plan assets and funds, except for plan assets and funds invested in Diebold, Incorporated common stock. The second component of the Plan is the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which consists solely of all plan assets and funds invested in Diebold, Incorporated common stock. By establishing an ESOP within the Plan, the participants can receive their cash dividends from Diebold, Incorporated common stock directly, if desired, and the Employer can take a corresponding tax deduction. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
 
      The Plan covers substantially all U.S. employees of the Employer and its domestic subsidiaries who have completed ninety days of employment. The Plan does not cover certain categories of part-time, temporary and intern employees or employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement outside of the Newark, Ohio and Canton, Ohio facilities. The terms of the Plan described below are applicable to the majority of participants. Due to the merger of legacy 401(k) plans into the Plan, the terms of a small number of participants may vary slightly from the terms described below. However, these participants have substantially the same benefits and requirements of the other Plan participants.
 
      During the third quarter of 2009, the Employer sold its U.S. election systems business, primarily consisting of its subsidiary Premier Elections Solutions, Inc. (PESI). In connection with this sale, assets related to the PESI employees were transferred out of the Plan.
 
  (b)   Contributions
 
      For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan allowed each participant to voluntarily contribute from one to fifty percent (in one percent increments) of pre-tax compensation, but not in excess of the maximum amount permitted by the IRC. The Plan also allowed employees aged 50 and older to elect to make additional catch-up contributions subject to certain limitations under the IRC.
 
      Effective April 1, 2009
 
      For employees hired before July 1, 2003 there was no Employer Basic Matching Contribution. For employees hired on or after July 1, 2003, the Employer Basic Matching Contribution was 30 percent of a participant’s pre-tax contributions during each payroll period up to six percent of the participant’s compensation in such payroll period.
 
      Prior to April 1, 2009
 
      For employees hired before July 1, 2003, the Employer Basic Matching Contribution was 60 percent of a participant’s pre-tax contributions during each payroll period up to three percent of the participant’s compensation in such payroll period and 40 percent of a participant’s pre-tax contributions on the next three percent of the participant’s compensation in such payroll period.
 
      For employees hired on or after July 1, 2003, the Employer Basic Matching Contribution was 100 percent of a participant’s pre-tax contributions during each payroll period up to three percent of the participant’s compensation in such payroll period and 60 percent of a participant’s pre-tax contributions on the next three percent of the participant’s compensation in such payroll period. Participation in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees was frozen for newly hired employees effective July 1, 2003. This higher Employer Basic Matching Contribution was in lieu of participation in the Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees.
 
      The Employer match is determined by the Board of Directors and is evaluated at least annually. As of the last day of each Plan year, the Employer calculates the amount of the Basic Matching Contribution that would be contributed on behalf of

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
      each participant for that Plan year if the Basic Matching Contribution were calculated and contributed on an annual basis rather than during each payroll period. The Employer contributes to the Trust Fund, as of the last day of the Plan year, any additional amount necessary to increase the Basic Matching Contribution for each participant to the amount of the Basic Matching Contribution as calculated on an annual basis. The additional Basic Matching Contribution receivable calculated on an annual basis was $55,228 and $14,361 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
      At the end of any Plan Year, the Employer, at its discretion, may determine that an Additional Matching Contribution be made for the next succeeding Plan year. The amount of any Additional Matching Contribution shall be determined solely by action of the Board of Directors. There were no Additional Matching Contributions made on behalf of any plan participants in either 2010 or 2009.
 
  (c)   Participants’ Accounts
 
      Each participant directs his or her contributions, as well as any employer matching contributions, into any of several investment funds within the Plan with a minimum investment in any fund of one percent. Participants’ accounts are valued on a daily basis.
 
      Prior to June 1, 2006, the Employer’s Basic Matching Contribution was divided between the Regular Account and the Retiree Medical Funding Account based on a predefined formula and was invested in the Diebold Company Stock Fund. Effective June 1, 2006, all Employer contributions were deposited in the Regular Account. Therefore, no further Employer contributions will be deposited into the Retiree Medical Funding Account; however, this account will be maintained for historical recordkeeping purposes.
 
  (d)   Vesting
 
      For employees hired before July 1, 2003, a participant’s pre-tax contributions and earnings, and the Employer’s contributions and earnings are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. For employees hired on or after July 1, 2003, a participant’s pre-tax contributions and earnings are immediately vested and non-forfeitable; however, Employer contributions and earnings are vested in accordance with the following schedule: less than three years service, zero percent; three or more years of service, 100 percent.
 
  (e)   Distribution of Benefits
 
      Upon termination of service with the Employer or an affiliate, a participant may elect to receive his or her total vested account balance in a lump sum payment, defer receipt until his/her retirement date, or make a direct rollover to a qualified plan if such total account balance exceeds $5,000. If the vested account balance does not exceed $5,000, the participant may elect to receive his or her total account balance in a lump sum payment or make a direct rollover to a qualified plan. If the participant does not elect one of the noted options, the plan administrator (the Administrator) will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to the individual retirement annuity plan designated by the Administrator. The Administrator or its designee shall make such determination on a periodic basis, not less frequently than annually. For any funds invested in the Diebold Company Stock Fund, the participant may make an election to receive cash or the Employer’s common stock.
 
  (f)   Participant Loans
 
      Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the various funds and the Loan Fund. Under the terms of the Plan, active participants of the Plan may borrow against their total account balance except for their balance in the Retiree Medical Funding Account. The minimum amount of any loan is $1,000 and the maximum is $50,000 or 50 percent of a participant’s current vested balance (in $100 increments), whichever is less. Loan payments are made through equal payroll deductions over the loan period of one to five years. If a loan is not repaid when due, the loan balance is treated as a taxable distribution from the Plan. Interest charged, which is based on the prime interest rate plus one percent as of the loan effective date, is determined by the Employer and ranged from 4.25 percent to 9.25 percent at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
  (g)   Withdrawals
 
      A financial hardship provision is available, enabling a participant to withdraw an amount to cover an immediate financial need.
 
  (h)   Expenses
 
      All costs and expenses incident to the administration of the Plan are paid by the Administrator, or at the discretion of the Administrator, paid from the assets of the Plan, except for loan processing and administration fees associated with the Loan Fund and fees associated with the managed account program, which are both borne by the individual participants.
 
  (i)   Forfeited Accounts
 
      At December 31, 2010 and 2009, forfeited unvested accounts totaled $791,284 and $326,470, respectively. These accounts are used to reduce future employer contributions or administrative fees.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  (a)   Basis of Presentation
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
 
      The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
  (b)   Investment Valuation
      The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value as of the last business day of the Plan year. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Employer common stock is valued at its quoted market price. All purchase and sale transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
 
      Investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract from fair value to contract value. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
  (c)   Participant Loans
      Participant loans are classified as notes receivable from participants and are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued interest.
  (d)   Benefit Payments
      Benefits are recorded when paid.
  (e)   Use of Estimates
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
  (f)   Risks and Uncertainties
 
      The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
 
 
  (g)   Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
 
      In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 updated FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820). ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. For the reconciliation of level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements should be presented separately. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Plan.
 
      In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans (ASU 2010-25). ASU 2010-25 changed the reporting of loans to participants. Prior to ASU 2010-25, loans to participants were reported as investments at fair value. ASU 2010-25 requires that loans to participants be reported as notes receivable from participants at the unpaid principal balance plus any accrued, but unpaid interest. The Plan adopted ASU 2010-25 in the 2010 financial statements, applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2010-25 was not significant as the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest of loans to participants approximated fair value.
 
  (h)   Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
 
      In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Plan management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2011-04 will have on the Plans’ financial statements.

DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009
    All investments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are participant-directed.
 
    The Plan has an interest in a fully benefit-responsive group annuity contract as part of the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust (the Trust) option issued by the Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (the Trustee). The group trust contract is to be reported at contract value and disclosure of adjustment from fair value is required, as stated on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
 
    The crediting rate of the contract resets every quarter based on the performance of the underlying investment portfolio. To the extent that the Trust has unrealized gains and losses (that are accounted for, under contract value accounting, through the value of the synthetic contract), the interest crediting rate may differ from then-current market rates. An investor currently redeeming Trust units may forgo a benefit, or avoid a loss, related to a future crediting rate different from then-current market rates. Investments in Vanguard mutual funds and bond trusts are valued at the net asset value of each fund or trust determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) on the valuation date.
 
    The average yield earned by the Trust for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts was 3.36 percent and 3.15 percent for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The average yield earned and paid to plan participants by the Trust was 3.01 percent and 2.86 percent for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
    Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact with the issuer at contract value. These events include, but are not limited to, partial or complete legal termination of the Trust or a unit holder, tax disqualification of the Trust or unit holder, and certain Trust amendments if issuers’ consent is not obtained. As of December 31, 2010, the occurrence of an event outside the normal operation of the Trust that would cause a withdrawal from an investment contract is not considered to be probable.
 
    In general, issuers may terminate the contract and settle at other than contract value if there is a change in the qualification status of participant, employer, or plan; a breach of material obligations under the contract and misrepresentation by the contract holder; or failure of the underlying portfolio to conform to the preestablished investment guidelines.
 
    The Plan’s investments, including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year, appreciated in value as follows:
                 
    2010     2009  
Balanced Funds

  $ 38,068,200     $ 57,534,622  
 
           
(4) Fair Value Measurements
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

    Assets valued using level 1 inputs in the table above represent assets from the Plan and are valued based on the number of shares in the funds using a closing price per share traded in an active market.
 
    Assets valued using level 2 inputs in the table above represent the Plan’s investment in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts and money market funds. Investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are valued at fair value by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar investments with comparable durations. Investments in money market funds are valued at the NAV of shares held by the Plan.
 
(5)   Tax Status
 
    The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Employer by a letter dated December 20, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. In accordance with Revenue Procedure 2007-44, the Plan is assigned a cycle “E” status and as such, is required to restate the Plan document and submit such documents for IRS determination of tax qualification status no later than January 31, 2011. On January 24, 2011, the Plan was amended and restated and filed for a determination of its tax qualification status with the IRS. As of December 31, 2010, the Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

(9)   Contingency
 
    The Employer has been served with various lawsuits by participants in the Employer’s 401(k) savings plan, which were subsequently consolidated into a single proceeding, alleging breaches of fiduciary duties with respect to the Plan. These lawsuits were filed against the Employer and certain current and former officers and directors of the Employer; however, neither the trustee nor the Plan itself have been directly named in the lawsuits. In May 2009, the Employer agreed to settle the 401(k) class action litigation for $4,500,000, to be paid out of the Employer’s insurance policies. On February 11, 2011, the court entered an order approving the settlement.
