Director Election

Effective July 11, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) appointed Reginald D. Hedgebeth as a director of the Company and a member of the Board’s Executive Committee.  Mr. Hedgebeth is eligible to participate in the Company’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s annual proxy statements.

Compensation Decisions

On July 7, 2011, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) approved grants of restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) and options to acquire shares of Company common stock (“Options”) to numerous employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including grants to the Company’s named executive officers (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.  Named executive officers received RSUs and Options as follows: Michael T. Dan, 28,000 RSUs and 100,000 Options; Joseph W. Dziedzic, 8,925 RSUs and 29,750 Options; Frank T. Lennon, 5,100 RSUs and 18,700 Options; McAlister C. Marshall, II, 5,100 RSUs and 18,700 Options; and Matthew A. P. Schumacher, 2,125 RSUs and 6,800 Options.

The exercise price for the Options was based on the average of the high and low per share quoted sale prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  The RSUs and Options vest in approximately equal increments over a three-year period, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.  The RSUs will settle in shares of Company common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the satisfaction of the vesting requirements.

Item 5.03.
