Description of Business


Primary SIC Code: 4731
(As filed with the SEC)  

The Brink's Company (the "Company") conducts business in the security industry through two wholly owned subsidiaries: Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's") and Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS"). We employ approximately 57,500 people, with approximately 53,900 at Brink's and 3,600 at BHS. Over the past several years, the Company has changed from a conglomerate (with operations in the security, heavy-weight freight transportation, coal and other natural resource industries) into a company focused solely on the security industry. On February 25, 2008, the board of directors approved a strategic decision to spin-off BHS in a tax-free stock distribution to the shareholders of the Company. Immediately after the spin-off, BHS will be owned directly by the shareholders receiving shares in the distribution.  ... More ...
