Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities

We acquired $11.6 million of armored vehicles under capital lease arrangements in the first nine months of 2012, as compared to $54.7 million for armored vehicles, CompuSafe® units and other equipment in the first nine months of 2011. In the prior year period, some of the assets acquired under capital leases were part of sales-leaseback transactions of assets that were previously owned. Proceeds from sale of those assets were $14.7 million in the first nine months of 2011. The proceeds approximated net book value on the dates of those transactions. Related gains and losses were not material.

We contributed $9 million of Brink's common stock to our primary U.S. pension plan in the first three months of 2012.
