Paderborn, November 30, 2006 - At its meeting on November 30, 2006,
the Supervisory Board of Wincor Nixdorf AG passed a resolution
approving the dividend proposal for fiscal 2005/2006 put forward by
the Board of Directors. The proposal to be put forward to the AGM on
January 29, 2007, is for a dividend payment of EUR2.80 per share
(previous year: EUR2.10). In addition, the Board of Directors and the
Supervisory Board have decided to propose to the AGM that the
Company's capital stock be doubled through the issuance of new
shares. Shareholders are to receive, without payment, one additional
share for each share held (bonus share). This corresponds to a stock
split in a ratio of 1 : 2. As part of this measure, a proportion of
appropriated additional paid-in capital is to be converted into
unallocated additional paid-in capital. This is to be implemented by
means of a capital increase out of company reserves and/or retained
earnings, followed by an ordinary reduction of capital.

The proposed dividend reaffirms Wincor Nixdorf AG's commitment to a
dividend policy that allows shareholders to benefit directly from the
Company's solid performance. Within this context, the aim is to pay
out approximately half of the net income for the year, having
adjusted for the effects of amortization of product know-how on
earnings (cash net income). In total, an amount of approx. EUR46.32
million is to be paid out as dividends for fiscal 2005/2006.

The issuance of bonus shares is aimed at lowering the current price
of Wincor Nixdorf shares. Reducing the share price to an
investor-friendly level will make Wincor Nixdorf shares more
tradeable.

The planned conversion of appropriated additional paid-in capital to
unallocated, i.e. uncommitted, additional paid-in capital will cover
a volume of EUR95.35 million and is to be used for the purpose of
future dividend payments to shareholders from capital reserves
currently committed. Under German legislation, in order to convert
appropriated additional paid-in capital to unallocated capital
reserves, the entity in question is obliged to perform a capital
increase out of company reserves and/or retained earnings and a
subsequent "ordinary reduction of capital". The proceeds from the
ordinary reduction of capital are to be allocated in their entirety
to uncommitted additional paid-in capital.
