BHS HOLDINGS BEGINS “WHEN-ISSUED” TRADING ON THE NYSE

Spin-Off of Home Security Unit Expected on October 31

RICHMOND, Va. October 16, 2008 – The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO) (Brink’s), a global leader in security-related services, announced that its Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. subsidiary (BHS Holdings) will begin trading tomorrow, October 17, on a “when-issued” basis on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “CFLwi.” The planned spin-off of BHS Holdings, which comprises the home security unit of Brink’s, is expected to be completed on October 31, 2008 (the distribution date). After completion of the spin-off, shares of BHS Holdings will begin normal (“regular way”) trading under the symbol “CFL.”

Between October 17 and October 31, Brink’s common stock will trade on the NYSE under two symbols, “BCO” and “BCOwi.” Brink’s shares trading under “BCO” will trade the “regular way,” with the right to receive shares of BHS Holdings in the spin-off. Brink’s shares trading under “BCOwi” will trade “ex dividend,” with no right to receive shares of BHS Holdings in the spin-off.

On the distribution date, Brink’s will distribute one share of BHS Holdings common stock for each share of Brink’s common stock outstanding at the close of business on October 21, 2008 (the record date).
