HANDLING OPERATIONS

Company’s Global Services Unit Will Continue to Serve U.K. Market

RICHMOND, Va., August 6, 2007 — Brink’s, Incorporated, a subsidiary of The Brink’s Company (NYSE:BCO), today announced the completion of the sale of its United Kingdom subsidiary’s domestic cash handling operations to Loomis UK Limited, a subsidiary of Securitas AB. Terms of the sale were not disclosed. Brink’s will continue to operate in the United Kingdom through its Global Services unit, which will continue to operate its own fleet of armored trucks, vaults and other facilities as a part of the global Brink’s network. Brink’s will also continue to operate in Northern Ireland.

The Brink’s Company incurred a previously disclosed pretax impairment charge of $7.5 million (13 cents per share after taxes) related to the divested operations. The charge was recorded against second-quarter earnings, and the company does not expect to incur significant additional charges related to the sale.

In 2005 and 2006, the divested operations generated annual revenues of approximately $50 million per year while incurring operating losses of approximately $9 million per year. Brink’s employed approximately 350 people at the divested operations.
