Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 2, 2019, Amit Zukerman, Executive Vice President of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”), resigned his position as Executive Vice President, effective June 28, 2019.  To ensure a smooth near-term transition of his current responsibilities and to support the continued long-term execution of the Company’s strategy, Mr. Zukerman will remain an employee consultant of the Company through March of 2021 pursuant to the terms of a Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) executed by Mr. Zukerman and the Company.

Effective July 1, 2019, Michael Beech will have responsibility for the Company’s South America reporting segment. Dominik Bossart, who previously reported to Mr. Zukerman and had responsibility for South America, excluding Brazil, will assume responsibility for the Rest of World reporting segment, with the exception of the Company’s France business (which will report to Ron Domanico), and for the Brink’s Global Services business. 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Zukerman is eligible to receive, among other things, one year’s base salary, a 2019 annual incentive award for the period through June 30, 2019 and continued vesting of certain outstanding equity. In exchange for such compensation, and in addition to other customary terms of separation, Mr. Zukerman will agree not to engage in certain competitive activities during the period ending on March 31, 2022. Mr. Zukerman will not receive any payments under the Company’s Severance Pay Plan.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
