BRINK’S EXITS CASH HANDLING OPERATIONS IN BELGIUM

RICHMOND, Va., November 12, 2010 – The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO) announced today that it has exited the cash handling market in Belgium.  The company discontinued funding of its Brink’s Belgium S.A. subsidiary after an unsuccessful effort to address a noncompetitive business structure.  As a result, the subsidiary has filed for bankruptcy and Brink’s expects to record a fourth-quarter non-cash charge of $15 million to $20 million (pretax) related to asset impairments.

Through nine-month period ending September 30, 2010, the subsidiary had revenue of $32 million and an operating loss of $7 million.  The operating loss includes $3 million in severance costs.  The severance costs were recognized in The Brink’s Company consolidated 2009 results.
