Description of Common Shares
General
The Company has authorized 125,000,000 common shares, par value $1.25 per share (the “Common Shares”) and 1,000,000 serial preferred shares, without par value (the “Serial Preferred Shares”). The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share upon all matters presented to the shareholders and, upon proper notice, are entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The holders of Common Shares do not have any preemptive rights. No conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions apply to the Common Shares, and the holders of Common Shares are not subject to calls or assessments by the Company.
The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as the Company's directors from time to time may declare out of funds legally available. Entitlement to dividends is subject to the preferences granted to other classes of securities the Company has or may have outstanding in the future, including any Serial Preferred Shares, and may be restricted by the terms of the Company's debt instruments. In the event of liquidation of the Company, holders of Common Shares are entitled to share in any assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction in full of its liabilities and satisfaction of such dividend and liquidation preferences as may be possessed by the holders of other classes of securities of the Company, including any Serial Preferred Shares.
The Common Shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DBD.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares is Wells Fargo Shareowner Services.
