MMI Announces Intent to Nominate Directors to The Brink's Company Board

Business Wire, Oct 18, 2007

NEW YORK -- MMI Investments, L.P. today announced its intent to nominate four director candidates for election at the 2008 Annual Meeting of The Brink's Company (NYSE: BCO). MMI is the second largest shareholder of Brink's with 4,065,200 shares or 8.4% of the shares outstanding.

Clay Lifflander, Portfolio Manager of MMI, stated, "As one of the largest shareholders of Brink's, we are announcing our intent to nominate four highly qualified candidates to its board. These director nominees will seek to maximize value for shareholders of Brink's by exploring all strategic and financial opportunities available and decisively pursuing a course of action. In spite of our numerous contacts with the company, its board and management remain unwilling to take action to address Brink's long-term, sustained undervaluation. This board's lack of communication and unwillingness to address these blatant missed opportunities leave us no recourse but to pursue the election of an alternative director slate."

MMI, which first purchased Brink's shares in 2003, has previously publicly released its analysis of Brink's strategic alternatives in filings with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov), beginning in 2005 with its demand for a sale of Brink's BAX Global subsidiary, which subsequently was sold for approximately $1.1 billion.

The names of the director nominees will be provided to the company when MMI submits the official notice of nominations pursuant to the company's bylaws.
