Director Election

Effective July 11, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) appointed Reginald D.

Mr. Hedgebeth is eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s annual proxy statements.

Compensation Decisions

On July 7, 2011, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) approved grants of restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) and options to acquire shares of Company common stock (“Options”) to numerous employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including grants to the Company’s named executive officers (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. Named executive officers received RSUs and Options as follows: Michael T. Dan, 28,000 RSUs and 100,000 Options; Joseph W. Dziedzic, 8,925 RSUs and 29,750 Options; Frank T. Lennon, 5,100 RSUs and 18,700 Options; McAlister C. Marshall, II, 5,100 RSUs and 18,700 Options; and Matthew A. P. Schumacher, 2,125 RSUs and 6,800 Options.
