On September 25, 2007, the “Expiration Date” occurred under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2003, between The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (successor to Equiserve Trust Company, N.A.), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated September 25, 2006, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agreement”). As a result, the Rights Agreement and the rights issued thereunder expired by their own terms and each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company no longer is accompanied by a right to purchase, under certain circumstances, one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. The terms of the Rights Agreement and the rights issued thereunder are described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on February 26, 1996, as amended on August 11, 1997, January 14, 2000, January 14, 2002, October 9, 2003 and September 25, 2006.
