Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, “Brink’s”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) has four operating segments:
•North America
•Latin America
•Europe
•Rest of World
Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with GAAP, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates are related to goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other retirement benefit assets and obligations, legal contingencies, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred tax assets and purchase price allocations.
In the first quarter of 2022, we further refined our global methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our previous method to estimate currently expected credit losses in receivables (the allowance) was weighted significantly to a review of historical loss rates and specific identification of higher risk customer accounts. It also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance. As many of our regions begin to recover from the pandemic, we have re-assessed those earlier assumptions and estimates. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivable significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million. Due to the fact that management has excluded this amount when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded it from segment results.
While some of our locations noted improved economics in 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022, our current estimates could be materially adversely affected in future periods by the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, such as the Delta and, more recently, Omicron variants. The COVID-19 pandemic began to have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as a result of reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures and increases in our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.
We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown. We will continue to monitor developments affecting our condensed consolidated financial statements, including indicators that goodwill or other long-lived assets may be impaired, increases in valuation allowances for doubtful accounts or deferred tax assets may be necessary or other accruals that may increase or be necessary resulting from actions taken to reduce our cost structure or conserve our liquidity. As noted above, we increased our allowance for doubtful accounts based on a re-assessment of our estimate and the aging of receivables in the wake of the pandemic.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our controlled subsidiaries. Control is determined based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. See "Venezuela" section below for further information. For controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the noncontrolling interests are included in net income and in total equity.
Investments in businesses that we do not control, but for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in other operating income (expense). Investments in businesses for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for at fair value, if readily determinable, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity
investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes from observable price changes. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. Our foreign subsidiaries maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. The method of translating local currency financial information into U.S. dollars depends on whether the economy in which our foreign subsidiary operates has been designated as highly inflationary or not. Economies with a three-year cumulative inflation rate of more than 100% are considered highly inflationary.
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries in non-highly inflationary economies are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in net income.
Foreign subsidiaries that operate in highly inflationary countries use the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. Local currency monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using rates of exchange as of each balance sheet date, with remeasurement adjustments and other transaction gains and losses recognized in earnings. Other than nonmonetary equity securities, nonmonetary assets and liabilities do not fluctuate with changes in local currency exchange rates to the dollar. For nonmonetary equity securities traded in highly inflationary economies, the fair market value of the equity securities are remeasured at the current exchange rates to determine gain or loss to be recorded in net income. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year.
Argentina
We operate in Argentina through wholly owned subsidiaries and a smaller controlled subsidiary (together "Brink's Argentina"). Revenues from Brink's Argentina represented approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2022 and 4% of our consolidated revenues for the first three months of 2021.
The operating environment in Argentina continues to present business challenges, including ongoing devaluation of the Argentine peso and significant inflation. In the first three months of 2022 and 2021, the Argentine peso declined approximately 7% (from 103.1 to 111.1 pesos to the U.S. dollar) and approximately 8% (from 84.0 to 91.7 pesos to the U.S. dollar), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Argentine peso declined approximately 19% (from 84.0 to 103.1 pesos to the U.S. dollar).
Beginning July 1, 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, we consolidated Brink's Argentina using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies beginning with the third quarter of 2018. Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at each balance sheet date using the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In the first three months of 2022, we recognized a $4.9 million pretax remeasurement loss. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a $3.0 million pretax remeasurement loss.
At March 31, 2022, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2022, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $69.0 million (including cash of $62.7 million). At March 31, 2022, we had net nonmonetary assets of $154.0 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $7.8 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $4.1 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
At December 31, 2021, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $60.1 million (including cash of $52.9 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $155.3 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $8.2 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $4.3 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. The Argentine central bank issued details as to how the exchange control procedures would operate in practice. Under these procedures, central bank approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.
We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.
Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.
Venezuela
Our Venezuelan operations offer transportation and route-based logistics management services for cash and valuables throughout Venezuela. Currency exchange regulations, combined with other government regulations, such as price controls and strict labor laws, significantly limit our ability to make and execute operational decisions at our Venezuelan subsidiaries. As a result of these conditions, we do not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan operations and, as a result, we report the results of our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries using the cost method of accounting, the basis of which approximates zero. Prior to the imposition of the U.S. government sanctions in 2019, we provided immaterial amounts of financial support to our Venezuela operations. We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela, including the imposition of sanctions by the U.S. government targeting Venezuela.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually, as of October 1, and whenever events or circumstances in interim periods indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Impairment indicators were reviewed as of March 31, 2022 and we concluded that there were no indicators that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We will continue to monitor results in future periods to determine whether any indicators of impairment exist that would cause us to perform an impairment review.
Restricted Cash
In France and Malaysia, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. In connection with these offerings, we take temporary title to certain customers' cash, which is included as restricted cash in our financial statements due to customer agreement or regulation. In addition, in accordance with a revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2022, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $15.0 million (also $15.0 million at December 31, 2021) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod tax allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 was effective for us on January 1, 2021. We recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment increasing retained earnings by $0.5 million on January 1, 2021.
Note 2 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Performance Obligations
We provide various services to meet the needs of our customers and we group these service offerings into three broad categories: Core Services, High-Value Services and Other Security Services.
Core Services
Cash-in-transit ("CIT") and basic ATM services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world. We charge customers per service performed or based on the value of goods transported. CIT services generally involve the secure transportation of cash, securities and other valuables between businesses, financial institutions and central banks. Basic ATM services are generally composed of management services, including cash replenishment and forecasting, remote monitoring, transaction processing, installation and maintenance.
High-Value Services
Our high-value services leverage our brand, global infrastructure and core services and include cash management services, global services, ATM managed services and payment services. We offer a variety of cash management services such as currency and coin counting and sorting, deposit preparation and reconciliation, and safe device installation and servicing (including our CompuSafe® service). Our global services business provides secure ground, sea and air transportation and storage of highly-valued commodities including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals and other valuables. We provide ATM managed services in North America and Europe for customers using Brink's-owned machines as well as machines owned by third parties. We also provide payment services which include bill payment and processing services on behalf of utility companies and other service providers plus general purpose reloadable prepaid cards and payroll cards.
Other Security Services
Our other security services feature the protection of airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America.
For performance obligations related to the services described above, we generally satisfy our obligations as each action to provide the service to the customer occurs. Because the customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits from our services, these performance obligations are deemed to be satisfied over time. We use an output method, units of service provided, to recognize revenue because that is the best method to represent the transfer of our services to the customer at the agreed upon rate for each action.
Although not as significant as our service offerings, we also sell goods to customers from time to time, such as safe devices. In those transactions, we satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time. We recognize revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer as that is the point in time that best represents when control has transferred to the customer.
Our contracts with customers describe the services we can provide along with the fees for each action to provide the service. We typically send invoices to customers for all of the services we have provided within a monthly period and payments are generally due within 30 to 60 days of the invoice date.
Although our customer contracts specify the fees for each action to provide service, the majority of the services stated in our contracts do not have a defined quantity over the contract term. Accordingly, the transaction price is considered variable as there is an unknown volume of services that will be rendered over the course of the contract. We recognize revenue for these services in the period in which they are provided to the customer based on the contractual rate at which we have the right to invoice the customer for each action.
Some of our contracts with customers contain clauses that define the level of service that the customer will receive. The service level agreements (“SLA”) within those contracts contain specific calculations to determine whether the appropriate level of service has been met within a specific period, which is typically a month. We estimate SLA penalties and recognize the amounts as a reduction to revenue.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The majority of our revenues from contracts with customers are earned by providing services and these performance obligations are satisfied over time. Smaller amounts of revenues are earned from selling goods, such as safes, to customers where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time.
Certain of our high-value services involve the leasing of assets, such as safes, to our customers along with the regular servicing of those safe devices. Revenues related to the leasing of these assets are recognized in accordance with applicable lease guidance, but are included in the above table as the amounts are a small percentage of overall revenues.
Contract Balances
Contract Assets
Although payment terms and conditions can vary, for the majority of our customer contracts, we invoice for all of the services provided to the customer within a monthly period. For certain customer contracts, the timing of our performance may precede our right to invoice the customer for the total transaction price. For example, Brink's affiliates in certain countries, primarily in Latin America, negotiate annual price adjustments with certain customers and, once the price increases are finalized, the pricing changes are made retroactive to services provided in earlier periods. These retroactive pricing adjustments are estimated and recognized as revenue with a corresponding contract asset in the same period in which the related services are performed. As the estimate of the ultimate transaction price changes, we recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment for the change in estimate. In our Rest of World segment, certain Brink's affiliates provide services to specific customers and, per contract, a portion of the consideration is retained by the customers until the contract is completed. The retention amounts are reported as contract assets until we have the right to bill the customer for these amounts. Contract assets expected to be collected within one year ($4.0 million at March 31, 2022) are included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts not expected to be billed and collected within one year ($3.7 million at March 31, 2022) are reported in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Liabilities
For other customer contracts, we may obtain the right to payment or receive customer payments prior to performing the related services under the contract. When the right to customer payments or receipt of payments precedes our performance, we recognize a contract liability, which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | Receivables | | Contract Assets | | Contract Liabilities |
| | | | | |
Opening (January 1, 2022) | $ | 701.8 | | | 6.3 | | | 17.9 | |
Closing (March 31, 2022) | 771.1 | | | 7.7 | | | 18.2 | |
Increase (decrease) | $ | 69.3 | | | 1.4 | | | 0.3 | |
The amount of revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was included in the January 1, 2022 contract liabilities balance was $3.8 million. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had prepaid for those services prior to the current year.
Revenue recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2022 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior year was not significant. This revenue is a result of changes in the transaction price of our contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Sales commissions directly related to obtaining new contracts with customers are capitalized when incurred and are then amortized to expense ratably over the term of the contracts. At March 31, 2022, the net capitalized costs to obtain contracts was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The capitalized amount at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The amortization expense in the first three months of 2022 and 2021 was not significant in either period.
Practical Expedients
For the majority of our contracts with customers, we invoice a fixed amount for each unit of service we have provided. These contracts provide us with the right to invoice for an amount or rate that corresponds to the value we have delivered to our customers. The volume of services that will be provided to customers over the term is not known at inception of these contracts. Therefore, while the rate per unit of service is known, the transaction price itself is variable. For this reason, we recognize revenue from these contracts equal to the amount for which we have the contractual right to invoice the customers. Because we are not required to estimate variable consideration related to the transaction price in order to recognize revenue, we are also not required to estimate the variable consideration to provide certain disclosures. As a result, we have elected to use the optional exemption related to the disclosure of transaction prices, amounts allocated to remaining performance obligations and the future periods in which revenue will be recognized, sometimes referred to as backlog.
We have also elected to use the practical expedient for financing components related to our contract liabilities. We do not recognize interest expense on contracts for which the period between our receipt of customer payments and our service to the customer is one year or less.
Note 3 - Segment information
We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on a profit or loss measure which, at the reportable segment level, excludes the following:
•Corporate expenses - include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to GAAP, and costs related to global initiatives.
•Other items not allocated to segments - certain significant items such as reorganization and restructuring actions that are evaluated on an individual basis by management and are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business are excluded from segment results. We also exclude certain costs, gains and losses related to acquisitions and dispositions of assets and of businesses. Brink's Argentina is consolidated using our accounting policy for subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. We have excluded from our segment results the impact of highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, including currency remeasurement losses. Net charges related to a change in the methodology for estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts have been excluded from segment results. We have also excluded from our segment results net charges related to an internal loss in our U.S. global services operations. The net impact of the internal losses has included estimated bad debt expense for uncollectible receivables as well as legal costs to recover losses from insurance. The charges related to the internal losses have been offset by collections of previously reserved receivables and insurance recoveries.
We manage our business in the following four segments:
•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,
•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,
•Europe – total operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business, and
•Rest of World – operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This segment also includes total operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services and BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.
Prior to 2021, all business units within the operating segments followed an internal Brink's accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and recognizing bad debt expense. The allowance amounts reported by the operating segments were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance amount, and any differences were reported as part of Corporate expenses. During the first quarter of 2021, we changed the allowance calculation method of the U.S. business within the North America operating segment, in order to more closely align it with U.S. GAAP requirements. Differences between U.S. GAAP and existing internal policy were not significant for all other business units within the operating segments, and so no other changes were made, and reconciling amounts for those units will continue to be reported as part of Corporate expense. For the North America segment, the impact of this change in reporting was to reduce the segment allowance and to increase segment operating profit by $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. There was no net impact to condensed consolidated results, as a corresponding offsetting adjustment occurred on Corporate expenses.
The following table summarizes our revenues and segment profit for each of our reportable segments and reconciles these amounts to consolidated revenues and operating profit:

These items include amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and integration, transaction and restructuring costs related to business acquisitions.

Note 4 - Retirement benefits
Pension plans
We have various defined-benefit pension plans covering eligible current and former employees. Benefits under most plans are based on salary and years of service.

We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2021 or the first three months of 2022. Based on current assumptions described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we do not expect to make contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in the foreseeable future.
Retirement benefits other than pensions
We provide retirement healthcare benefits for eligible current and former U.S., Canadian, and Brazilian employees. Retirement benefits related to our former U.S. coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for United Mine Workers of America Represented Employees (the “UMWA plans”) as well as costs related to Black Lung obligations.

Valuation Allowance-Tax Credits
In the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial amount of the U.S. deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforwards that previously required a valuation allowance would be realized. Our conclusion was based upon an analysis of the final foreign tax credit regulations that the U.S. Treasury published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022. Based upon this analysis, we determined a significant amount of the post-2021 foreign withholding taxes will now be ineligible for U.S. foreign income tax credit treatment and therefore we are forecasting that our U.S. operations will no longer annually be generating new foreign tax credits in excess of its annual foreign tax credit utilization limit. As a result, we expect to be able to utilize a substantial amount of our foreign tax credit and general business tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax prior to their expiration. Accordingly, we reversed a substantial amount of our valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $58.3 million benefit in our provision for income taxes. This benefit was recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Due to the novel approach that the final regulations impose, it is possible that further developments in foreign country or U.S. tax laws could occur and may require us to change our assessment of the ultimate amounts we consider more-likely-than-not to be realized.

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2022 was less than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the release of valuation allowances on U.S. tax credits deemed realizable as a result of the issuance of U.S. final foreign tax credit regulations, offset by the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
2021 Compared to U.S. Statutory Rate
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first three months of 2021was greater than the 21% U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, the seasonality of book losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, nondeductible expenses in Mexico, taxes on cross border payments and U.S. taxable income limitations, and the characterization of a French business tax as an income tax.
Note 6 - Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisitions
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The condensed consolidated statements of operations include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition.
PAI, Midco Inc.
On April 1, 2021, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of PAI Midco, Inc., which directly or indirectly owns 100% of the ownership interests in four additional entities (collectively, "PAI"), for approximately $216 million. PAI was the largest privately-held provider of ATM services in the U.S. and generated approximately $94 million in revenues in 2020.
We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting for PAI in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in the first quarter of 2022 to the amounts previously disclosed.
G4S ("G4S") Acquisitions
On February 26, 2020, we announced that we agreed to acquire the majority of the cash management operations of U.K.-based G4S, with closings planned in multiple phases in 2020. In March 2020, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of G4S International Logistics Group Limited ("G4Si"), a company which directly or indirectly owns controlling interests in multiple businesses providing secure international transportation of valuables. From the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021, we acquired cash management operations from G4S located in the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Romania, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macau, Luxembourg and Kuwait. For the majority of these acquisitions, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests. In Malaysia, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Indonesia and Kuwait, we acquired ownership interests of less than 100%. We believe that we meet the accounting criteria for consolidating these subsidiaries. In the aggregate, the purchase consideration for the G4S acquisitions as of March 31, 2022 is $826 million. We have also paid G4S approximately $114 million for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. The G4S businesses acquired generated approximately $800 million in annual revenues in 2019.
The contingent consideration noted in the following table below is related to the acquisition of the Malaysia operations. The consideration will be paid when minimum dividend distributions are received by Brink's relating to cash on the balance sheets of the Malaysia subsidiaries as of the acquisition date. We used a probability-weighted approach to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the table below is the full $22 million that remains potentially payable as of March 31, 2022 as we believe it is unlikely that the contingent consideration payments will be reduced.
We estimated fair values for the assets purchased, liabilities assumed and purchase consideration as of the date of the acquisition. The determination of estimated fair value required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We finalized our purchase price accounting in 2021 for the businesses we acquired in 2020. For the remaining businesses acquired from G4S in 2021, we finalized our purchase accounting in the first quarter of 2022. There were no material changes in the first quarter of 2022 to the amounts previously disclosed.
Other Acquisition in 2022
In January 2022, PAI acquired net assets from Touchpoint 21 LLC, an ATM and cash management solutions company operating in Texas and Oklahoma. We have determined that this acquisition represents a business combination and we have recorded acquired assets and liabilities at estimated fair value. The purchase consideration is approximately $15 million.
Acquisition Costs
We have incurred $0.4 million in transaction costs related to business acquisitions in the first three months of 2022 (compared to $2.4 million in the first three months of 2021). These costs are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses.

(a)The amortization of actuarial losses and prior service cost is part of total net periodic retirement benefit cost when reclassified to net income. Net periodic retirement benefit cost also includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on assets, and settlement losses. Total service cost is allocated between cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses on a plan-by-plan basis and the remaining net periodic retirement benefit cost items are allocated to interest and other nonoperating expense:

(c)Gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the gains or losses are realized. Pretax amounts are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as interest and other income (expense).

Note 8 - Fair value of financial instruments
Investments in Marketable Securities
We have investments in mutual funds, equity securities and available for sale debt securities that are carried at fair value in the condensed financial statements. For these investments, fair value was based on quoted market prices, which we have categorized as a Level 1 valuation.
Fixed-Rate Debt
The fair value and carrying value of our material fixed-rate debt, excluding any unamortized debt issuance costs, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | March 31, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
| | | |
$600 million senior unsecured notes | | | |
Carrying value | $ | 600.0 | | | 600.0 | |

| | | |
$400 million senior unsecured notes | | | |
Carrying value | 400.0 | | | 400.0 | |
Fair value | 392.8 | | | 414.8 | |
Pricing inputs for nonpublic debt are often not observable. The fair value estimates of our senior notes reflect unobservable estimates and assumptions, which we have categorized as a Level 3 valuation. Our fair value estimates were based on the present value of future cash flows, discounted at rates for public debt at the measurement date. The rates for public debt were additionally adjusted for a factor which represented the change in the interest spreads between the inception rates and the public debt rates at the measurement date.
Forward and Swap Contracts
We have outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At March 31, 2022, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $497 million, with average maturities of approximately one month. These foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound and the Mexican peso and are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings.
At March 31, 2022, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $9.8 million, of which $9.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.1 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $1.9 million, of which $3.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.5 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) as follows:

.
In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense amounts that are associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of this long term contract was $70 million with a weighted-average maturity of 1.1 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $15.9 million net asset, of which $3.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $12.6 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $26.3 million net asset, of which a $5.8 million asset was included in prepaid expenses and other and a $20.5 million asset was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts under this contract were recognized in other operating income (expense) to offset transaction gains or losses and in interest expense as follows:

In the first quarter of 2019, we entered into ten interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings in the same periods that the hedged debt affects earnings.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of these contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 1.0 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $1.5 million, of which $1.5 million was included in other assets and $3.0 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these interest rate swaps was a net liability of $13.9 million, of which $8.3 million was included in accrued liabilities and $5.6 million was included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the first quarter of 2022, we entered into four forward-starting interest rate swaps that hedge cash flow risk associated with changes in variable interest rates and that are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are presently recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The forward-starting interest rate swaps will become effective in July 2022 and have a maturity date in July 2030, with a mandatory settlement scheduled to occur in July 2022. The amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will begin to be released into earnings once the full settlement takes place in the third quarter of 2022.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of these contracts was $200 million with a remaining weighted-average maturity of 0.3 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of these forward-starting interest rate swaps was a net asset of $2.2 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 6.1 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net asset of $26.1 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $20.1 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these cross currency swaps was a net asset of $28.5 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $22.5 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The effect of the interest rate swaps and the amortization of the spot-forward difference on the net investment hedges cross currency swaps is included in interest expense as follows:

The fair values of these forward and swap contracts are based on the present value of net future cash payments and receipts, as well as inputs related to forward interest rates and forward currency rates that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, which we have categorized as a Level 2 valuation.
Other Financial Instruments
Other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, floating rate debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate the fair value.
There were no transfers in or out of any of the levels of the valuation hierarchy in the first three months of 2022.

Long-Term Debt
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In April 2020, we amended our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent to increase the term loan borrowing by $590 million. After the amendment, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a $1 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and $1.39 billion of term loans (the "Term Loans"). The proceeds
from the incremental term loan borrowings were used to repay outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility as well as certain fees, costs and expenses related to the closing of the G4S acquisition.
In June 2020, we amended our Revolving Credit Facility to, among other things, change the methodology for calculating the Company’s leverage ratio by using a net first lien leverage ratio (net secured debt leverage ratio) instead of a total net debt leverage ratio.
All loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans mature five years after the date of the first amendment date to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on February 8, 2024. Principal payments for the Term Loans are due quarterly in an amount equal to 1.25% of the initial loan amount with a final lump sum payment due on February 8, 2024. Interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facility are based on LIBOR plus a margin or an alternate base rate plus a margin. The Revolving Credit Facility allows us to borrow money or issue letters of credit (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over the term of the facility. As of March 31, 2022, $380 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, including a first-priority lien on equity interests of certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The margin on both LIBOR and alternate base rate borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is based on the Company’s total net debt leverage ratio. The margin on LIBOR borrowings, which can range from 1.25% to 2.50%, was 1.75% at March 31, 2022. The margin on alternate base rate borrowings, which can range from 0.25% to 1.50%, was 0.75% as of March 31, 2022. We also pay an annual commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fee, which can range from 0.15% to 0.35%, was 0.25% as of March 31, 2022.
Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2020, we issued at par five-year senior unsecured notes (the "2020 Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $400 million. The 2020 Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2025 and bear an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The 2020 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
In October 2017, we issued at par ten-year senior unsecured notes (the "2017 Senior Notes" and together with the 2020 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The 2017 Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2027 and bear an annual interest rate of 4.625%. The 2017 Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future U.S. subsidiaries, which are also guarantors under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The notes were offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exception from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The aggregate proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the 2017 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain prior indebtedness and certain fees and expenses related to the closing of certain transactions. Borrowings were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The aggregate proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used in part to repay certain existing indebtedness incurred in connection with the G4S acquisition, finance the remaining G4S acquisition transactions and pay certain fees and expenses related to the transactions. Remaining net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes were used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities
We have three committed letter of credit facilities totaling $63 million, of which approximately $20 million was available at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $43 million issued under these facilities. The $15 million facility expires in April 2025, the $32 million facility expires in December 2022 and the $16 million facility expires in January 2024.
We have three uncommitted letter of credit facilities totaling $65 million, of which approximately $42 million was available at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, we had undrawn letters of credit and guarantees of $23 million issued under these facilities. The $40 million facility expires in December 2022. The $15 million facility and the $10 million facility have no expiration dates
The Senior Secured Credit Facility is also available for issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility, Senior Unsecured Notes, the Letter of Credit Facilities and Bank Guarantee Facilities contain various financial and other covenants. The financial covenants, among other things, limit our ability to provide liens, restrict fundamental changes, limit transactions with affiliates and unrestricted subsidiaries, restrict changes to our fiscal year and to organizational documents, limit asset dispositions, limit the use of proceeds from asset sales, limit sale and leaseback transactions, limit investments, limit the ability to incur debt, restrict certain payments to shareholders, limit negative pledges, limit the ability to change the nature of our business, provide for a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. If we were not to comply with the terms of our various financing agreements, the repayment terms could be accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment
terms under one agreement could trigger the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other financing agreements. We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2022.
Note 10 - Credit losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of our Core and High-Value services to customers with operations in the U.S. as well as customers in more than 100 countries outside the U.S. We typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis and payment terms are generally between 30 and 60 days.
We assess currently expected credit losses in our financial assets on a pool basis by aggregating financial assets with similar risk characteristics. We have pooled financial assets by geographic location because of the similarities within each location such as customers, payment terms, and services offered. Loss experience is monitored for each pool and we determine historical loss rates for each pool. These historical loss rates are the main assumption used in estimating expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets. We also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance.
We monitor the aging of accounts receivables by country and write off any accounts that are deemed uncollectible. We also monitor any significant economic events to identify any current or expected trends and risks within a pool that could impact the collectability of outstanding accounts receivables balances that were not contemplated or relevant during a previous period.
In the first quarter of 2022, as many of our regions begin to recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we re-assessed earlier assumptions and estimates, and we further refined our methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivables significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million.
The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

Note 11 - Share-based compensation plans
We have share-based compensation plans to attract and retain employees and nonemployee directors and to more closely align their interests with those of our shareholders.
We have outstanding share-based awards granted to employees under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("2013 Plan") and the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"). These plans permit grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, performance units, stock appreciation rights, stock options, as well as other share-based awards to eligible employees. The 2013 Plan and the 2017 Plan also permit cash awards to eligible employees. The 2017 Plan became effective May 2017. No further grants of awards will be made under the 2013 Plan, although awards previously granted remain outstanding.
We also have outstanding deferred stock units granted to directors under the 2017 Plan. Share-based awards were previously granted to directors and remain outstanding under the Non-Employee Director's Equity Plan and the Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan, which has expired.
Outstanding awards at March 31, 2022 include performance share units, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance-based stock options, time-based stock options and certain awards that will be settled in cash.
Compensation Expense
Compensation expense is measured using the fair-value-based method. Prior to 2020, for employee and director awards considered equity grants, compensation expense is recognized from the award or grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date or the vesting date. In 2020, the retirement eligibility provisions for many employee awards were changed on a go-forward basis to require a six month notification period prior to actual retirement. For the 2020 awards, we recognized expense from the grant date to six months after the participant's retirement eligible date. In 2021, the retirement eligibility provisions were changed to require a minimum of a one year service period in order to meet the retirement eligible conditions. For the 2021 and 2022 awards, we recognize expense from the grant date to the earlier of the retirement-eligible date (provided it is not less than one year from the grant date) or the vesting date.
For awards considered liability awards, compensation cost is based on the change in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period and the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered.
Compensation expenses are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expenses for the share-based awards were as follows:

Performance-Based Stock Options
In 2018, 2017 and 2016, we granted performance-based stock options that have a service condition as well as a market condition. In addition, some of the awards granted in 2016 contained a non-financial performance condition. We measured the fair value of these performance-based options at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The following table summarizes performance-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares (in thousands) | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Outstanding balance as of December 31, 2021 | 946.5 | | | $ | 10.25 | |

(a)Although the service condition had been met, these 2018 performance options expired in accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreement.
Time-Based Stock Options
We granted time-based stock options that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of these time-based options at the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.
The following table summarizes time-based stock option activity during the first three months of 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |
Outstanding balance as of March 31, 2022 | 161.6 | | | $ | 21.41 | |
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
We granted RSUs that contain only a service condition. We measure the fair value of RSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.
The following table summarizes RSU activity during the first three months of 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2022 | 368.6 | | | $ | 69.52 | |
Performance Share Units ("PSUs”)
We granted Internal Metric PSUs ("IM PSUs") and Relative Total Shareholder Return PSUs ("TSR PSUs").
IM PSUs contain a performance condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of these PSUs based on the price of Brink’s stock at the grant date, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period. For the IM PSUs granted in 2021, the performance period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. For IM PSUs granted in 2022, the performance period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
TSR PSUs contain a market condition as well as a service condition. We measure the fair value of PSUs containing a market condition at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2020, the service period is from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2021, the service period is from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. For the TSR PSUs granted in 2022, the service period is from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024.
The following table summarizes all PSU activity during the first three months of 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Shares (in thousands) | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Nonvested balance as of December 31, 2021 | 661.0 | | | $ | 81.75 | |

Vested(b) | (142.9) | | | 77.61 | |
Nonvested balance as of March 31, 2022 | 706.4 | | | $ | 78.92 | |
(a)Although the service condition had been met, 23.6 thousand TSR PSUs granted in 2019 expired in accordance with the market condition terms of the underlying award agreement. These units had a weighted average grant-date fair value of $105.57 per share.
(b)The vested PSUs presented are based on the target amount of the award. In accordance with the terms of the underlying award agreements, the actual shares earned and distributed for the performance period ended December 31, 2021 were 144.4 thousand, compared to target shares of 142.9 thousand.
Deferred Stock Units ("DSUs")
We granted DSUs to our nonemployee directors. We measure the fair value of DSUs at the grant date, based on the price of Brink's stock, and, if applicable, adjusted for a discount for dividends not received or accrued during the vesting period.
DSUs granted after 2014 will be paid out in shares of Brink's stock approximately one year after the grant date, provided that the director has not elected to defer the distribution of shares until a later date. DSUs granted prior to 2015, in general, will be paid out in shares of stock following separation from service.
The following table summarizes all DSU activity during the first three months of 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 12 - Capital Stock
Common Stock
At March 31, 2022, we had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 47.6 million shares issued and outstanding.
Dividends
We paid regular quarterly dividends on our common stock during the last two years. The payment of future dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is dependent on our future earnings, financial condition, shareholder equity levels, cash flow, business requirements and other factors.
Preferred Stock
At March 31, 2022, we had the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $10 per share.
Share Repurchase Program
On October 27, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2023 (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). This authorization replaces our previous $250 million repurchase program, authorized by the Board in February 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Program"), which expired on December 31, 2021, with no amount remaining available.
Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
At March 31, 2022, $250 million remained available under the 2021 Repurchase Program.
Under the 2020 Repurchase Program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase arrangement ("ASR") in the fourth quarter of 2021 and repurchased 1,742,160 shares in November 2021 in exchange for a $150 million upfront payment to a financial institution. Under this ASR, the purchase period had a scheduled termination date of June 1, 2022. In April 2022, the financial institution elected to early terminate this ASR and an additional 546,993 shares were repurchased. In total, 2,289,153 shares were repurchased under this ASR at an average repurchase price of $65.53.

| | | | | | | |
Antidilutive stock awards and options excluded from denominator(b) | | | | | 1.0 | | | 0.2 | |
(a)We have deferred compensation plans for directors and certain of our employees. Some amounts owed to participants are denominated in common stock units. Each unit represents one share of common stock. The number of shares used to calculate basic earnings per share includes the weighted-average common stock units credited to employees and directors under the deferred compensation plans. Additionally, nonvested units containing only a service requirement are also included in the computation of basic weighted-average shares when the requisite service period has been completed. Accordingly, included in basic shares are 0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
(b)Under the November 2021 ASR, based on our stock prices from November 1,2021 to March 31, 2022, we would have received additional shares under the ASR if the
settlement date had been March 31, 2022. Because the ASR settlement date did not occur until April 2022 and because any anticipated receipt of additional shares of our common stock would have been antidilutive, no amounts were included in the computation of diluted EPS.

Argentina Currency Conversions
We have elected in the past and could continue in the future to repatriate cash from Brink's Argentina using different means to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. The net cash flows from these transactions are treated as operating cash flows as the financial instruments are purchased specifically for resale and are generally sold within a short period of time from the date of purchase. We did not have any such conversions in the first three months of 2022 or 2021.
Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities
We acquired $14.4 million in armored vehicles and other equipment under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2022 compared to $7.8 million in armored vehicles and other equipment acquired under financing lease arrangements in the first three months of 2021.
Loans Held for Investment
In France, as part of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, we purchase the ATMs at the beginning of the contract. However, since these ATMs are specifically for the benefit of the customer and transfer back to the customer at the end of the contract, this is recorded as a financing transaction. As a result, the loan to the customer, net of payments received, is treated as investing cash flows.
Restricted Cash (Cash Supply Chain Services)
In France, we offer services to certain of our customers where we manage some or all of their cash supply chains. Providing this service requires our French subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received from the management of our customers' cash supply chains until the cash is returned to the customers. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, as part of this service offering, we entered into lending arrangements with some of our customers. Cash borrowed under these lending arrangements was used in the process of managing these customers' cash supply chains, was restricted and could not be used for any other purpose other than to service these customers.
In Malaysia, we offer ATM replenishment services to certain of our financial institution customers. Providing this service requires our Malaysia subsidiary to take temporary title to the cash received in advance of ATM replenishment. The cash for which we have temporary title is restricted and cannot be used for any other purpose other than to service our customers who participate in this service offering.
In accordance with a revolving credit facility, we are required to maintain a restricted cash reserve of $15.0 million ($15.0 million at December 31, 2021) and, due to this contractual restriction, we have classified these amounts as restricted cash.
At March 31, 2022, we held $313.2 million of restricted cash ($150.3 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $145.5 million represented accrued liabilities). At December 31, 2021, we held $376.4 million of restricted cash ($215.5 million represented restricted cash held for customers and $139.9 million represented accrued liabilities).
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 14 - Contingent matters
In August 2020, the Company received a subpoena issued in connection with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”). The Company is fully cooperating with the investigation and responding to requests from the DOJ for documents and other information, primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering compliance. Given that the investigation is still ongoing and that no civil or criminal claims have been brought to date, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation, the timing of the ultimate resolution of the matter, or reasonably estimate the possible range of loss, if any, that may result from this matter. Accordingly, no accruals have been made with respect to this matter.
At the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, we became aware of an investigation initiated by the Chilean Fiscalía Nacional Económica (the Chilean antitrust agency) (“FNE”) related to potential anti-competitive practices among competitors in the cash logistics industry in Chile. In October 2021, the FNE filed a complaint before the Chilean antitrust court alleging that Brink’s Chile (as well as competitor companies) engaged in collusion in 2017 and 2018 and requested that the court approve a fine of $30.5 million. The Company has not had access to the FNE's investigative file nor to its evidence supporting the allegations. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the FNE's complaint. Based on available information to date, the Company has recorded a charge of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with this matter.
In addition, we are involved in various other lawsuits and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not able to estimate the loss or range of losses for some of these matters. We have recorded accruals for losses that are considered probable and reasonably estimable. Except as otherwise noted, we do not believe that it is reasonably possible the ultimate disposition of any of the lawsuits currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
Note 15 - Reorganization and Restructuring
Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized net costs of $6.6 million in the first three months of 2021, primarily severance costs. We recognized $11.7 million net costs in the first three months of 2022, primarily severance costs. The majority of the costs from 2022 restructuring plans resulted from the exit of a line of business in a specific geography with most of the remaining costs due to management initiatives to address the COVID-19 pandemic. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $3 million and $5 million in future periods.
The following table summarizes the changes in the accrued liability for costs incurred, payments and utilization, and foreign currency exchange effects of other restructurings:

•Guarding services – protection of airports, offices, and certain other locations in Europe, Rest of World and Latin America with or without electronic surveillance, access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel
We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance and makes decisions. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources to each operating segment based on an operating profit or loss measure, excluding income and expenses not allocated to segments.
We manage our business in following four segments:
•North America – operations in the U.S. and Canada, including the Brink’s Global Services ("BGS") line of business,
•Latin America – operations in Latin American countries where we have an ownership interest, including the BGS line of business. This segment includes operations in Mexico, which was previously reported in the North America segment,
•Europe – total operations in European countries that primarily provide services outside of the BGS line of business, and
•Rest of World – operations in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. This segment also includes total operations in European countries that primarily provide BGS services and BGS activity in Latin American countries where we do not have an ownership interest.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COVID-19 Pandemic Impact
We continue to monitor developments related to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including with respect to new variants of the COVID-19 virus, which has created global volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption for Brink's, our customers and vendors, and the markets in which we do business. We have taken and continue to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to our employees, our customers and our business around the world. We are focused on three priorities:
•Protecting our people and providing essential services to our customers;
•Preserving cash and optimizing profitability; and
•Positioning Brink’s to be stronger on the other side of the crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic began to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During 2020, 2021 and continuing into 2022, health conditions and economic activity in the countries in which we operate have been significantly impacted by government, customer and consumer actions in response to the pandemic. These actions have led to reduced customer volumes, changes to our operating procedures, labor shortages and increases to our costs to provide services. We have taken and continue to take actions to adjust the way we operate and reduce our costs through restructuring activities and operational changes to address these impacts and align to future anticipated revenue levels.
We are continually assessing the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken in response to it, will have on our employees, businesses and segments, customers and vendors and the industries that we serve. The full impact depends on many factors that are uncertain or not yet identifiable. We expect these factors will continue to impact our financial condition and our results of operations for a duration that is currently unknown.
In addition, we cannot predict whether future developments associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will have a materially adverse effect on our long-term liquidity position. We believe we continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our current obligations. The COVID-19 pandemic continues, however, to be an evolving situation, and we cannot predict the extent or duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of it on the global, national or local economy, including the impacts on our ability to access capital, or its effects on our business, financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
We will continue to monitor developments affecting our employees, customers and operations and take additional steps to address the business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as necessary.
Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below for further discussion.
Consolidated Review
GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We provide an analysis of our operations below on both a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP basis. The purpose of the non-GAAP information is to report our operating profit, income from continuing operations and earnings per share without certain income and expense items that do not reflect the regular earnings of our operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as they allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our core operating performance. The non-GAAP adjustments used to reconcile our GAAP results are described on pages 36–37 and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures on pages 42–44.
Definition of Organic Growth
Organic growth represents the change in revenues or operating profit between the current and prior period, excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions and changes in currency exchange rates. See definitions on page 34.

GAAP Basis
Analysis of Consolidated Results: First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021
Consolidated Revenues Revenues increased $96.3 million due to organic increases in Latin America ($32.6 million), Europe ($22.5 million), North America ($18.5 million), and Rest of World ($13.7 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($42.4 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($33.4 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven primarily by the euro and the Argentine peso. Revenues increased 9% on an organic basis primarily due to volume recovery versus prior year period results which were more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as price increases in the U.S. and Argentina. See above for our definition of “organic growth.”
Consolidated Costs and Expenses Cost of revenues increased 11% to $839.7 million primarily due to higher labor and other operational costs driven by volume recovery including wage increases in the U.S., the impact of acquisitions, and higher costs incurred related to restructuring actions, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates. Selling, general and administrative costs increased 11% to $171.6 million primarily due to the unfavorable impact of a change in allowance estimate ($16.7 million) recorded in the first-quarter 2022, due to a modification in our methodology to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, higher costs related to restructuring actions and the operating impact of acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates and lower acquisition and integration costs.
Consolidated Operating Profit Operating profit increased $0.7 million due mainly to:
•lower corporate expenses on an organic basis ($16.4 million),
•organic increases in Latin America ($8.5 million), Europe ($5.1 million), and Rest of World ($2.5 million),
•the favorable operating impact of business acquisitions ($6.9 million), excluding intangible amortization and acquisition-related charges, and
•lower costs related to business acquisitions and dispositions ($3.5 million), including the impact of acquisition-related charges and intangible asset amortization in 2022, included in "Other items not allocated to segments",
partially offset by:
•The following items included in "Other items not allocated to segments":
◦unfavorable impact of a change in allowance estimate ($16.7 million) recorded in the first-quarter 2022, due to a modification in our methodology to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts,
◦higher costs incurred related to reorganization and restructuring ($5.1 million),
•an organic decrease in North America ($13.7 million), and
•unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates ($5.6 million), driven by the Argentine peso and the euro.
Consolidated Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to Brink’s and Related Per Share Amounts Income from continuing operations attributable to Brink’s shareholders increased $58.7 million to $71.4 million due to lower income tax expense ($54.7 million), lower interest and other non-operating expense ($4.2 million), and the increase in operating profit mentioned above, slightly offset by higher interest expense ($0.7 million) and higher non-controlling interest ($0.2 million). Earnings per share from continuing operations was $1.48, up from $0.25 in the first quarter of 2021.

Analysis of Segment Results: First Quarter 2022 versus First Quarter 2021
North America
Revenues increased 16% ($51.7 million) primarily due to the favorable impact of the PAI acquisition ($33.2 million) and a 6% organic increase ($18.5 million). Organic revenue increased primarily due to price increases in the U.S. Operating profit decreased $7.9 million, primarily due to a 42% organic decrease ($13.7 million), partially offset by the favorable impact of the PAI acquisition ($5.8 million). The organic decrease was driven by the impact of bad debt expense versus the prior year and higher labor costs due to wage increases in the U.S.
The change in bad debt expense was driven by a first quarter of 2021 change to the allowance for doubtful accounts calculation method for the segment’s U.S. business, which resulted in a $12.3 million operating profit increase, and which was offset by a $12.3 million increase to Corporate expense, resulting in no impact to consolidated operating profit for the first quarter. Historically, all Brink’s business units followed an internal Company policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts and the allowances were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance, with any differences reported as part of Corporate expense. Other than for the U.S. business, the reconciling differences were not significant. We changed the U.S. calculation of the allowance in order to more closely align it with the U.S. GAAP consolidated calculation and to minimize reconciling differences, resulting in the offsetting $12.3 million adjustments to align the methods.
A change in estimation methodology resulted in a $16.7 million incremental bad debt expense recorded in the first quarter of 2022 that was associated with U.S. aged receivables. However, as discussed in Note 1 this amount was recorded as part of "Other items not allocated to segments" and is not included in the North America segment results.
Latin America
Revenues increased 8% ($21.6 million) primarily due to a 12% organic increase ($32.6 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($1.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($12.1 million), primarily from the Argentine peso and partially offset by the Brazilian real. The organic increase was primarily driven by inflation-based price increases in Argentina, as well as organic growth in Mexico from price increases and volume growth versus prior year period results which were more impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating profit was up 7% ($4.3 million) primarily due to a 14% organic increase ($8.5 million), including the benefit
of labor and other operational cost saving actions, which includes those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the favorable impact of acquisitions and dispositions ($0.1 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($4.3 million). The organic profit increase was driven by growth in Argentina and Mexico.
Europe
Revenues increased 4% ($7.7 million) due to a 10% organic increase ($22.5 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($1.8 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($16.6 million). The unfavorable currency impact was driven by the euro. The organic increase was primarily due to organic volume growth in France, including the impact of the partial implementation of an ATM managed services contract for a large customer, and across the segment. Operating profit increased $4.2 million to $14.8 million primarily due to a 48% organic increase ($5.1 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.2 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($1.1 million). The organic increase was primarily driven by volume growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions in France and throughout the segment, including those taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth was partially offset by lower government COVID-19 assistance in several countries.
Rest of World
Revenues increased 9% ($15.3 million) due to an 8% organic increase ($13.7 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($6.3 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($4.7 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth. The unfavorable currency impact was driven by most currencies throughout the segment. Operating profit increased $2.7 million due to an 8% organic increase ($2.5 million) and the favorable impact of acquisitions ($0.8 million), partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates ($0.6 million). The organic increase was primarily due to global services growth and the impact of labor and other operational cost saving actions, including those taken in response to COVID-19.

Corporate expenses include corporate headquarters costs, regional management costs, currency transaction gains and losses, costs related to global initiatives and adjustments to reconcile segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP.
Corporate expenses for the first three months of 2022 decreased $18.7 million versus the prior year period primarily driven by lower bad debt expense ($14.8 million) included in Corporate expense as part of the reconciliation of segment accounting policies to U.S. GAAP (see further discussion of bad debt expense in the next paragraph below). In addition, there was a decrease in costs related to developing new service offerings ($2.5 million) and higher foreign currency transaction gains in the current year period ($2.3 million).
Prior to the first quarter of 2021, all Brink’s business units followed an internal accounting policy for determining an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowances were then reconciled to the required U.S. GAAP estimated consolidated allowance, with any differences reported as part of Corporate expense. In the first three months of 2021, the Corporate reconciling adjustment was an increase of Corporate expense of $13.1 million. The 2021 adjustment was primarily from a change in the first quarter of 2021 to the allowance calculation method of the North America segment’s U.S. business. This change resulted in a $12.3 million increase to Corporate expense offset by a $12.3 million operating profit increase in the North America segment, resulting in no impact to consolidated operating profit for the first quarter of 2021. We changed the U.S. calculation of the allowance in order to more closely align it with the U.S. GAAP consolidated calculation and to minimize reconciling differences. Other than for the U.S. business, the reconciling differences were not significant. The bad debt expense increase excludes the impact of the internal loss in our U.S. global services operations described on the next page.

Reorganization and Restructuring
Other Restructurings
Management periodically implements restructuring actions in targeted sections of our business. As a result of these actions, we recognized net costs of $6.6 million in the first three months of 2021, primarily severance costs. We recognized $11.7 million net costs in the first three months of 2022, primarily severance costs. The majority of the costs from 2022 restructuring plans result from the exit of a line of business in a specific geography with most of the remaining costs due to management initiatives to address the COVID-19 pandemic. When completed, the current restructuring actions are expected to reduce our workforce by 1,000 to 1,200 positions and result in annualized cost savings of $25 million to $30 million. For the restructuring actions that have not yet been completed, we expect to incur additional costs between $3 million and $5 million in future periods. These estimates are expected to be updated as management targets additional sections of our business.
Due to the unique circumstances around these charges, they have not been allocated to segment results and are excluded from non-GAAP results. Charges related to the employees, assets, leases and contracts impacted by these restructuring actions were excluded from the segments and corporate expenses as shown in the table below.

Acquisitions and dispositions Certain acquisition and disposition items that are not considered part of the ongoing activities of the business and are special in nature are consistently excluded from segment and non-GAAP results. These items are described below:
2022 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $12.6 million in the first three months of 2022.
•We incurred $0.9 million in integration costs, primarily related to PAI and G4S, in the first three months of 2022.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $0.4 million in the first three months of 2022.
•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $0.1 million in the first three months of 2022.
•Compensation expense related to the retention of key PAI employees was $1.0 million in the first three months of 2022.
2021 Acquisitions and Dispositions
•Amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets was $9.9 million in the first three months of 2021.
•We incurred $4.1 million in integration costs, primarily related to G4S, in the first three months of 2021.
•Transaction costs related to business acquisitions were $2.4 million in the first three months of 2021.
•Restructuring costs related to acquisitions were $2.3 million in the first three months of 2021.
Argentina highly inflationary impact Beginning in the third quarter of 2018, we designated Argentina's economy as highly inflationary for accounting purposes. As a result, Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are now remeasured at each balance sheet date to the currency exchange rate then in effect, with currency remeasurement gains and losses recognized in earnings. In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In the first three months of 2022, we recognized $6.1 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $4.9 million. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized $3.9 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $3.0 million. These amounts are excluded from segment and non-GAAP results.
Change in allowance estimate In the first quarter of 2022, we refined our global methodology of estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Our previous method to estimate currently expected credit losses in receivables (the allowance) was weighted significantly to a review of historical loss rates and specific identification of higher risk customer accounts. It also considered current and expected economic conditions, particularly the effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in determining an appropriate allowance. As many of our regions begin to recover from the pandemic, we have re-assessed those earlier assumptions and estimates. Our updated method now also includes an estimated allowance for accounts receivable significantly past due in order to adjust for at-risk receivables not captured in our previous method. As part of the analysis under the updated estimation methodology, we noted an increase in accounts receivable significantly past due, particularly in the U.S., and we recorded an additional allowance of $16.7 million. Due to the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded this charge from segment and non-GAAP results.
Internal loss A former non-management employee in our U.S. global services operations embezzled funds from Brink's in prior years. In an effort to cover up the embezzlement, the former employee intentionally misstated the underlying accounts receivable subledger data. As a result, we estimated an increase to bad debt expense of $26.7 million through the end of 2020. In the first three months of 2021, we recognized a decrease in bad debt expense of $1.6 million, primarily related to collection of these receivables. We also recognized $0.8 million of legal charges in the first three months of 2021 as we attempted to collect additional insurance recoveries related to these receivable losses. In the first three months of 2022, we did not incur any charges related to the internal loss. Due to the unusual nature of this internal loss and the related errors in the subledger data, along with the fact that management has excluded these amounts when evaluating internal performance, we have excluded these net charges from segment and non-GAAP results.
Foreign Operations
We currently serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 countries where we operate subsidiaries.
We are subject to risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic conditions, the imposition of international sanctions, including by the U.S. government, political instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive action by local governments. Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The future effects, if any, of these risks are unknown. In April 2019, the U.S. government sanctioned the Venezuela central bank and, as a result, the Company has ceased support of the Venezuela business.
Our international operations conduct a majority of their business in local currencies. Because our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of various local currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. Recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain currencies has reduced some of our reported U.S. dollar revenues and operating profit and may continue in 2022.
At March 31, 2022, Argentina's economy remains highly inflationary for accounting purposes. At March 31, 2022, we had net monetary assets denominated in Argentine pesos of $69.0 million (including cash of $62.7 million) and net nonmonetary assets of $154.0 million (including $99.8 million of goodwill, $7.8 million in equity securities denominated in Argentine pesos and $4.1 million in debt securities denominated in Argentine pesos).
During September 2019, the Argentine government announced currency controls on both companies and individuals. Under the exchange procedures implemented by the central bank, approval is required for many transactions, including dividend repatriation abroad.
We have previously elected to use other market mechanisms to convert Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars. Conversions under these other market mechanisms generally settle at rates that are less favorable than the rates at which we remeasure the financial statements of Brink’s Argentina. We did not have any such conversion losses in the three months ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.
Although the Argentine government has implemented currency controls, Brink’s management continues to provide guidance and strategic oversight, including budgeting and forecasting for Brink’s Argentina. We continue to control our Argentina business for purposes of consolidation of our financial statements and continue to monitor the situation in Argentina.
Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. From time to time, we use short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. At March 31, 2022, the notional value of our short term outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $497 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These short term foreign currency forward and swap contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the British pound and the Mexican peso. Additionally, these short term contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and accordingly, changes in their fair value are recorded immediately in earnings. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of our short term foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $9.8 million, of which $9.9 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $0.1 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these foreign currency contracts was a net asset of approximately $1.9 million, of which $3.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $1.5 million was included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Amounts under these contracts were recognized in other operating income (expense) and in interest and other nonoperating income and expense as follows:

Derivative instrument gains included in other operating income (expense) | | | | | $ | 18.9 | | | 10.5 | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
We also have a long term cross currency swap contract to hedge exposure in Brazilian real, which is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedge are initially recorded in the gains (losses) on cash flow hedges component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We immediately reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings an amount to offset the remeasurement recognized in earnings associated with the respective intercompany loan. Additionally, we reclassify amounts from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense amounts that are associated with the interest rate differential between a U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan and a Brazilian real denominated intercompany loan.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of this long term contract was $70 million with a weighted-average maturity of approximately 1.1 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $15.9 million net asset, of which $3.3 million is included in prepaid expenses and other and $12.6 million is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the long term cross currency swap contract was a $26.3 million net asset, of which a $5.8 million asset is included in prepaid expenses and other and a $20.5 million asset is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In the second quarter of 2021, we entered into ten cross currency swaps to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our subsidiaries with euro functional currencies. As net investment hedges for accounting purposes, we elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value attributable to changes in the undiscounted spot rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain there until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately on a straight-line basis over the term of these cross currency swaps.
At March 31, 2022, the notional value of these cross currency swap contracts was $400 million with a remaining weighted average maturity of 6.1 years. At March 31, 2022, the fair value of these currency swaps was a net asset of $26.1 million, of which $6.0 million was included in prepaid expenses and other and $20.1 million was included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Valuation Allowance-Tax Credits
In the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a substantial amount of the U.S. deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit and general business credit carryforwards that previously required a valuation allowance would be realized. Our conclusion was based upon an analysis of the final foreign tax credit regulations that the U.S. Treasury published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2022. Based upon this analysis, we determined a significant amount of the post-2021 foreign withholding taxes will now be ineligible for U.S. foreign income tax credit treatment and therefore we are forecasting that Brink’s U.S. operations will no longer annually be generating new foreign tax credits in excess of its annual foreign tax credit utilization limit. As a result, we expect to be able to utilize a substantial amount of our foreign tax credit and general business tax credit carryforwards to offset future tax prior to their expiration. Accordingly, as a result of the law change, we reversed a substantial amount of our valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets, resulting in a $58.3 million benefit in our provision for income taxes. This benefit was recorded in the first quarter of 2022. Due to the novel approach that the final regulations impose, it is possible that further developments in foreign country or U.S. tax laws could occur and may require us to change our assessment of the ultimate amounts we consider more-likely-than-not to be realized.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from these estimates due to changes in pre-tax earnings, permanent book-tax differences, changes in the expected amount and geographical mix of earnings, changes in current or deferred taxes due to legislative changes, changes in valuation allowances or accruals for contingencies, changes in distributions of share-based payments, changes in U.S. taxable income, and other factors.

The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended March 31, 2022 is consistent with the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The slight increase in the first quarter of 2022 is attributable to the G4S acquisition that took place in February 2021.
Non-GAAP Results Reconciled to GAAP
Non-GAAP results described in this filing are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of the non-GAAP results is to report financial information from the primary operations of our business by excluding the effects of certain income and expenses that do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations. The specific items excluded have not been allocated to segments, are described in detail on pages 36–37, and are reconciled to comparable GAAP measures below.
Non-GAAP results adjust the quarterly non-GAAP tax rates so that the non-GAAP tax rate in each of the quarters is equal to the full-year estimated non-GAAP tax rate. The full-year non-GAAP tax rate in both years excludes certain pretax and income tax amounts. Amounts reported for prior periods have been updated in this report to present information consistently for all periods presented.
The Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of our operating results and trends for the periods presented. Our management believes these measures are also useful to investors as they allow investors to evaluate our performance using the same metrics that our management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. We do not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance as they result from events and circumstances that are not a part of our core business. Additionally, non-GAAP results are utilized as performance measures in certain management incentive compensation plans.
Non-GAAP results should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, income or earnings per share amounts determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with their GAAP counterparts. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $74.8 million in the first three months of 2022 as compared to the first three months of 2021. Cash used for investing activities decreased by $86.5 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021. We financed our liquidity needs in the first three months of 2022 with existing cash and cash flows from long-term debt.

(a)To adjust for the change in the balance of customer obligations related to cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations. The title to this cash transfers to us for a short period of time. The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and we do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the management of our liquidity and capital resources.
Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities is a supplemental financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. The purpose of this non-GAAP measure is to report financial information excluding cash flows from restricted cash held for customers, the impact of cash received and processed in certain of our secure cash management services operations and the impact of payments made to G4S for net intercompany receivables from the acquired subsidiaries. We believe this measure is helpful in assessing cash flows from operations, enables period-to-period comparability and is useful in predicting future operating cash flows. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
GAAP
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $74.8 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was attributed to working capital changes, changes in customer obligations related to certain of our secure cash management services operations (certain customer obligations decreased by $0.1 million in 2022 compared to an increase of $18.4 million in 2021, offset by restricted cash held for customers (restricted cash held for customers decreased by $52.5 million in 2022 compared to a decrease of $66.4 million in 2021) and higher amounts paid for income taxes (we had $31.3 million in cash payments for taxes in 2022 as compared to $14.6 million in 2021).
Non-GAAP
Non-GAAP cash flows from operating activities decreased by $72.8 million in the first three months of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was attributed to working capital changes and higher amounts paid for income taxes.

(a)Incremental depreciation related to highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, accelerated depreciation related to restructuring and acquisition-related integration activities, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets have been excluded from non-GAAP amounts.
(b)Represents the amount of property and equipment acquired using financing leases. Because the assets are acquired without using cash, the acquisitions are not reflected in the condensed consolidated cash flow statement. Amounts are provided here to assist in the comparison of assets acquired in the current year versus prior years.
Non-GAAP capital expenditures and non-GAAP depreciation and amortization are supplemental financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. The purpose of these non-GAAP measures is to report financial information excluding incremental depreciation related to highly inflationary accounting in Argentina, accelerated depreciation from restructuring and acquisition-related integration activities, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. We believe these measures are helpful in assessing capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization, enable period-to-period comparability and are useful in predicting future investing cash flows. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our reinvestment ratio, which we define as the annual amount of property and equipment acquired during the period divided by the annual amount of depreciation, was 1.4 for the 12 months ending March 31, 2022 compared to 0.8 for the 12 months ending March 31, 2021.
Capital expenditures in the first three months of 2022 were primarily for information technology, cash devices, armored vehicles and machinery and equipment.

(a)Title to cash received and processed in certain of our secure Cash Management Services operations transfers to us for a short period of time. The cash is generally credited to customers’ accounts the following day and we do not consider it as available for general corporate purposes in the management of our liquidity and capital resources and in our computation of Net Debt.
(b)Included within Net Debt is net cash from our Argentina operations of $63 million at March 31, 2022 and $54 million at December 31, 2021 (see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of currency controls in Argentina).
Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We use Net Debt as a measure of our financial leverage. We believe that investors also may find Net Debt to be helpful in evaluating our financial leverage. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to Debt determined in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Set forth above is a reconciliation of Net Debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, to Debt, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
Net Debt increased by $105 million primarily to fund corporate purposes and other working capital needs.
Liquidity Needs
Our liquidity needs include not only the working capital requirements of our operations but also investments in our operations, business development activities, payments on outstanding debt, dividend payments and share repurchases.
Our liquidity needs are typically financed by cash from operations, short-term debt and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (our debt facilities are described in more detail in Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, including certain limitations and considerations related to the cash and borrowing capacity). As of March 31, 2022, $380 million was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on our current cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under our credit facilities, we believe that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months.
Limitations on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations are outside the U.S. which may make it difficult or costly to repatriate cash for use in the U.S. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for more information on the risks associated with having businesses outside the U.S.
Our conclusion that we will be able to fund our cash requirements for the next 12 months by using existing capital resources, cash on hand, and cash generated from operations does not take into account any potential material worsening of economic conditions as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of new variants of the COVID-19 virus, and material increases in inflation, that would adversely affect our business. The anticipated cash needs of our business could change significantly if we pursue and complete additional business acquisitions, if our business plans change, if events, including economic disruptions, arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic worsen, or if other economic conditions change, such as material increases in inflation, from those currently prevailing or from those now anticipated, such as higher inflation or if other unexpected circumstances arise that may have a material effect on the cash flow or profitability of our business, including material negative changes in the health and welfare of our employees or changes in the condition of our customers or suppliers, and the operating performance or financial results of our business. Any of these events or circumstances, including any new business opportunities, could involve significant additional funding needs in excess of the identified currently available sources and could require us to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet those needs. Our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, is subject to a variety of factors that we cannot predict with certainty, including:
•our future profitability;
•the quality of our accounts receivable;
•our relative levels of debt and equity;
•the volatility and overall condition of the capital markets; and
•the market prices of our securities.
Equity
On October 27, 2021, we announced that the Board authorized a $250 million share repurchase program that expires on December 31, 2023 (the "2021 Repurchase Program"). This authorization replaces our previous $250 million repurchase program, authorized by the Board in February 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Program"), which expired on December 31, 2021, with no amount remaining available.
Under the 2021 Repurchase Program, we are not obligated to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares. The timing and volume of share repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. Share repurchases under this program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
At March 31, 2022, $250 million remained available under the 2021 Repurchase Program.
Under the 2020 Repurchase Program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase arrangement ("ASR") in the fourth quarter of 2021 and repurchased 1,742,160 shares in November 2021 in exchange for a $150 million upfront payment to a financial institution. Under this ASR, the purchase period had a scheduled termination date of June 1, 2022. In April 2022, the financial institution elected to early terminate this ASR and we repurchased an additional 546,993 shares. In total, 2,289,153 shares were repurchased under this ASR at an average repurchase price of $65.53.
U.S. Retirement Liabilities
Assumptions for U.S. Retirement Obligations
The amounts in the tables below are based on a variety of estimates, including actuarial assumptions as of the most recent measurement date. The assumptions used to estimate our U.S. retirement obligations can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The estimated amounts will change in the future to reflect payments made, investment returns, actuarial revaluations, and other changes in estimates. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimated amounts and will be updated at December 31, 2022.
Our most significant actuarial assumptions include:
•Changing discount rates and other assumptions in effect at measurement dates (normally December 31)
•Investment returns of plan assets
•Addition of new participants (historically immaterial due to freezing of pension benefits and exit from coal business)
•Mortality rates
•Change in laws

Primary U.S. Pension Plan
Pension benefits provided to eligible U.S. employees were frozen on December 31, 2005, and are not provided to employees hired after 2005 or to those covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We did not make cash contributions to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2021 or the first three months of 2022. There are approximately 10,800 beneficiaries in the plan.
Based on our current assumptions, we do not expect to make contributions in the foreseeable future.
UMWA Plans
Retirement benefits related to former coal operations include medical benefits provided by the Pittston Coal Group Companies Employee Benefit Plan for UMWA Represented Employees. There were approximately 2,700 beneficiaries in the UMWA plans as of December 31, 2021. The Company does not need to make additional contributions to these plans until 2032 based on actuarial assumptions.
Black Lung
Under the Federal Black Lung Benefits Act of 1972, Brink’s is responsible for paying lifetime black lung benefits to miners and their dependents for claims filed and approved after June 30, 1973. There were approximately 800 black lung beneficiaries as of December 31, 2021.

Contingent Matters
See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information about contingent matters at March 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We serve customers in more than 100 countries, including 53 countries where we operate subsidiaries. These operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we consume various commodities in the normal course of business, exposing us to the effects of changes in the prices of such commodities. These financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by us as an integral part of our overall risk management program. Our risk management program seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of certain markets may have on our operating results. We have not had any material change in our market risk exposures in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our principal executive officer, and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who is our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
1. Places of Meetings. Meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place, within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia, or at no physical place but solely by means of remote communication, in each case, as the Board of Directors may in its discretion determine.
2. Quorum. A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by a voting group on a matter shall constitute a quorum of the voting group for action on that matter at any meeting of the shareholders, except as otherwise provided by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these
bylaws. The shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, or the chairman of the meeting shall have power to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the shareholders from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting before adjournment and without notice before postponement (except as otherwise provided by statute). At such adjourned or postponed meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
3. Right to Vote; Written Authorization. At any meeting of the shareholders each shareholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy. Appointment of a proxy may be accomplished by the shareholder or such shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact or authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing an appointment form authorizing another person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy or causing such shareholder’s signature to be affixed to such appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. Any such appointment form shall bear a date not more than eleven months prior to said meeting, unless such appointment form provides for a longer period. All appointment forms shall be effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes.
4. Electronic Authorization. The Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary may approve procedures to enable a shareholder or a shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact to authorize another person or persons to act for him or her as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, internet transmission, telephone transmission or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the inspectors of election can determine that the transmission was authorized by the shareholder or the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. If it is determined that such transmissions are valid, the inspectors shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
5. Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, at each meeting of the shareholders each shareholder shall have one vote for each share having voting power, registered in the shareholder’s name on the share transfer books of the corporation at the record date fixed in accordance with these bylaws, or otherwise determined, with respect to such meeting. Except as otherwise expressly provided by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, any proposed action, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if a quorum of the voting group exists and the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.
6. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise prescribed by statute, notice of any meeting of the shareholders shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the meeting. Such notice shall state the date, time and place or means of remote communication, if authorized by the Board of Directors, of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
7. Electronic Transmission of Notice. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders, any notice to shareholders given by the corporation, under any provision of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws, shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the shareholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section shall be deemed given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of such specific posting when such notice is directed to the record address of the shareholder or to such other address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice, upon the later of such posting or the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when consented to by the shareholder.
8. Chairman of the Meeting. The Chairman of the Board or, if the Chairman of the Board is not independent, the Lead Director, shall preside over all meetings of the shareholders. If the Lead Director (if one is in office) is not present, then the Chairman of the Board shall preside and, if the Lead Director and the Chairman of the Board are not present, or if there is none in office, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside. If the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Director (if one is in office) and the Chief Executive Officer are not present, a Vice President shall preside, or, if none be present, a chairman shall be elected by the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, if he or she is present. If he or she is not present, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting, at his or her discretion, may adjourn or postpone the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, and may determine the date, time and place or means of remote communication, if authorized by the Board of Directors, that a meeting so adjourned or postponed is to reconvene. The chairman of the meeting shall prescribe rules of procedure for the meeting, including the order of business, and shall determine the time reasonably allotted to each speaker at the meeting.
9. Inspectors. One or more inspectors for any meeting of shareholders shall be appointed by the chairman of such meeting. Inspectors so appointed, shall receive and take
charge of proxies and ballots, and shall decide all questions as to the qualifications of voters, validity of proxies and ballots, and the number of votes properly cast.
10. Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on the first Friday in May at ten o’clock in the morning, local time, or on such other day or at such other time as the Board of Directors may determine. At each annual meeting of the shareholders, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of the shareholders for which (i) the Secretary receives a notice that a shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with the advance notice requirements for shareholder nominees for director set forth in Article IV, Section 12 and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such shareholder on or prior to the 10th day preceding the date the corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the shareholders (a “contested election”). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, the shareholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. The Board of Directors has established procedures set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines under which in any non-contested election of directors, any incumbent director nominee who receives a greater number of votes cast against his or her election than in favor of his or her election shall tender his or her resignation, and the Board of Directors shall decide, through a process managed by the Committee (as defined in the Corporate Governance Guidelines) whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. Any vacancy resulting from the non-election of a director under this Section 10 may be filled by the Board of Directors as provided in Article V. Any other proper business brought in accordance with these Bylaws may be transacted at the annual meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall be authorized to declare whether any business is properly brought before the meeting, and, if he or she shall declare that it is not so brought, such business shall not be transacted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the chairman of the meeting may declare that matters relating to the conduct of the ordinary business operations of the corporation are not properly brought before the meeting.
11. Special Meeting of Shareholders.
(a) A special meeting of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the Chairman of the Board, by the Lead Director (if one is in office), by the Board of Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer. Business transacted at any special meeting of the shareholders shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.
(b) In addition, a special meeting of the shareholders shall be called by the Secretary following the receipt by the Secretary of a written request for a special meeting of the shareholders (a “Special Meeting Request”) from one or more record holders representing ownership of at least 20% (the “Requisite Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock entitled to vote (the “Requisite Holders”) if such Special Meeting Request complies with the requirements set forth in this Section 11. For the purposes of this Section 11, a shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock as to which such shareholder possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to
the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (1) sold by or on behalf of such shareholder in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by or on behalf of such shareholder for any purpose or purchased by such shareholder pursuant to an agreement to resell or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by or on behalf of such shareholder whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during (A) any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the shareholder, or (B) has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on not more than three business days’ notice. Whether outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the corporation and its shareholders.
(c) If a Special Meeting Request complies with this Section 11, the Board of Directors shall determine the record date (in accordance with Article XIX herein), place (if any), date and time of the special meeting of shareholders requested in such Special Meeting Request. The date of any such special meeting shall not be more than 90 days after the Secretary’s receipt of the properly submitted Special Meeting Request; provided however, that in the event that a Special Meeting Request is received after the expiration of the advance notice period set forth in Section 12(b), but before the annual meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may use its discretion to set the date of a special meeting no more than 10 days following the annual meeting of shareholders.
(d) A Special Meeting Request must be delivered by hand, by registered U.S. mail (return receipt requested), or by courier service to the attention of the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation (“Proper Delivery”). A Special Meeting Request shall only be valid if it is signed and dated by each of the Requisite Holders (or their duly authorized agents) and if such request includes: (i) if a purpose of the special meeting of shareholders is the election of one or more directors, as to each person who is proposed as a nominee for election as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regardless of the application of the Exchange Act to such nomination, and such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as nominee and to serving as such a director if elected; (ii) as to any other business desired to be brought at the special meeting of shareholders, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the special meeting of shareholders, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any
resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting of shareholders and any material interest in such business of each such Requisite Holder; (iii) the name and address of each Requisite Holder, as they appear on the corporation’s books; (iv) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned of record by each such Requisite Holder; (v) a representation that one or more of the Requisite Holders intends to appear in person or by proxy at the special meeting of shareholders to propose the business to be conducted at the special meeting of shareholders; (vi) a representation as to whether one or more of the Requisite Holders intend to solicit proxies with respect to any business to be conducted at the special meeting of shareholders; (vii) one or more written statements from the Requisite Holders verifying that, as of a date within seven calendar days prior to the date the Special Meeting Request is delivered to or mailed and received by the corporation, the Requisite Holders own the Requisite Percentage and the Requisite Holders agree to provide, within five business days after the record date for the meeting, written statements verifying the Requisite Holders’ continuous ownership of the Requisite Percentage through the record date for the special meeting of shareholders; (viii) any other information that may be required pursuant to these bylaws, including but not limited to such information, if applicable, which shall be set forth in a shareholder’s notice required by Article IV, Section 12, or which may be required to be disclosed under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act; (ix) a representation that will update and supplement, if necessary, the Special Meeting Request if there is a material change in the information set forth therein and deliver such update or supplement to the Secretary by Proper Delivery and (x) any other information reasonably requested by the corporation.
(e) A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid (and thus the special meeting of shareholders requested pursuant to the Special Meeting Request will not be held) if (i) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law; or (ii) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this paragraph, the date of delivery of the Special Meeting Request shall be the first date on which a valid Special Meeting Request in which Requisite Holders representing at least the Requisite Percentage has been delivered to or mailed and received by the corporation by Proper Delivery.
(f) Only matters that are stated in the Special Meeting Request shall be brought before and acted upon during the special meeting of shareholders called according to the Special Meeting Request; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting any matters to the shareholders at any special meeting of shareholders called by the shareholders pursuant to this Section 11.
(g) Requisite Holders may revoke a Special Meeting Request by written revocation delivered to the corporation at any time prior to the special meeting of shareholders; provided, however, the Board of Directors shall have the sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with the special meeting of shareholders following such written revocation. Additionally, a Requisite Holder whose signature (or authorized agent’s signature) appears on a Special Meeting Request may revoke such Requisite Holder’s participation in a Special Meeting Request at any
time by written revocation delivered to the Secretary in the same manner as the Special Meeting Request and if, following any such revocation, the remaining Requisite Holders participating in the Special Meeting Request do not represent at least the Requisite Percentage, the Special Meeting Request shall be deemed revoked. Likewise, any reduction in percentage stock ownership of the Requisite Holders below the Requisite Percentage following delivery of the Special Meeting Request to the Secretary shall be deemed to be a revocation of the Special Meeting Request.
(h) If none of the Requisite Holders appears or sends a representative to present the business or nomination submitted by the shareholders in the Special Meeting Request to be conducted at the special meeting of shareholders, the corporation need not conduct any such business or nomination for a vote at such special meeting of shareholders.
12. Advance Notice of Nominations and Shareholder Business. (a) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders only (A) pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any shareholder of the corporation who was a shareholder of record of the corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting at the time the notice provided for in this Section 12 is received by the Secretary of the corporation and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12.

(b) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation and any such proposed business other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 120th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 180th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 180th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period, or extend any time period, for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, regardless of the application of the Exchange Act to such nomination, and such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as
such a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (2) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner as well as any derivative or synthetic instrument, convertible security, put, option, stock appreciation right, swap or similar contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding the value of or return on which is based on or linked to the value of or return on any of shares of capital stock of the corporation, (3) any proxy (other than a revocable proxy given in response to a solicitation statement filed pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act), voting trust, voting agreement or similar contract, arrangement, agreement or understanding pursuant to which the shareholder or beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is being made has a right to vote or direct the voting of any shares of the corporation’s capital stock, (4) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (5) a representation whether the shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group that intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal or nomination. In addition, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, (1) as of the voting record date for the meeting and (2) as of the date that is 10 days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation. With respect to any proposal of business, the notice requirements of this Section 12 shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such shareholder’s proposal will be included in a proxy statement that will be prepared by the corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation.
(c) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 12 is received by the Secretary of the corporation, who is entitled to vote at the
meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 12. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons, as the case may be, for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the shareholder’s notice required by paragraph (b) of this Section 12 is received by the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 180th day prior to such special meeting, and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period, or extend any time period, for giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.
(d) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 shall be eligible at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty (A) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 (including whether the shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such shareholder’s nominee or proposal in compliance with such shareholder’s representation as required by clause (C) of paragraph (b) of this Section 12) and (B) if any such nomination or proposal was not properly made or proposed (or such shareholder or beneficial owner did not act in accordance with such shareholder’s representation as required by clause (C) of paragraph (b) of this Section 12), to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, if the shareholder (or a designated representative of the shareholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation.
(e) For purposes of this Section 12, “public announcement” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed or furnished, as the case may be, by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 12. Nothing in this Section 12 shall be deemed to affect any rights (A) of shareholders to request inclusion of
proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (B) of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock, if any, to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
(g) The corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of shareholders the name, together with the Required Information (as defined below), of any person nominated for election to the Board of Directors (a “Shareholder Nominee”) identified in a timely notice (the “Notice”) that satisfies this Section 12 delivered to the principal office of the corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by one or more shareholders who at the time the request is delivered satisfy the ownership and other requirements of subsections (a), (b) and (g) of this Section 12 (such shareholder or shareholders, and any Associated Person (as defined below) of such shareholder or shareholders, the “Eligible Shareholder”), and who expressly elects to have its nominee included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this subsection (g). To be timely, the Notice must be received by the Secretary not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding mailing date for the notice of annual meeting of shareholders.
(i) For purposes of this subsection (g), the “Required Information” that the corporation will include in its proxy statement is (A) the information concerning the Shareholder Nominee and the Eligible Shareholder that, as determined by the corporation, is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (B) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a Statement (as defined below). For purposes of this subsection (g), “Associated Person” means any affiliate, associate of, or any other party acting in concert with or on behalf of, (A) a shareholder nominating a Shareholder Nominee or (B) any beneficial owner on whose behalf the shareholder is acting.
(ii) The corporation shall not be required to include a Shareholder Nominee in its proxy materials for any special meeting of shareholders or for any annual meeting of shareholders for which (A) the Secretary of the corporation receives a notice that the Eligible Shareholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors pursuant to the notice requirements set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 12 and (B) the Eligible Shareholder does not expressly elect as part of providing the notice to have its nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this subsection (g).
(iii) The number of Shareholder Nominees (including any Shareholder Nominees elected to the Board of Directors at either of the two preceding annual meetings who are standing for reelection and any Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this subsection (g) but either are subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors decides to nominate for election to the Board of Directors (a “Board Nominee”)) appearing in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to a meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the greater of (A) two Shareholder Nominees and (B) 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which the Notice may be delivered, or if such amount is not a whole number,
the closest whole number below 20%. In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this subsection (g) exceeds this maximum number, each Eligible Shareholder shall select one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in the order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the corporation’s stock eligible to vote in the election of directors each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in the written notice of the nomination submitted to the corporation. If the maximum number is not reached after each Eligible Shareholder has selected one Shareholder Nominee, this selection process shall continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number is reached.

For purposes of satisfying the foregoing ownership requirement under this subsection (g), (A) the shares of stock of the corporation owned by one or more shareholders, or by the person or persons who own shares of the corporation’s stock and on whose behalf any shareholder is acting, may be aggregated, provided that the number of shareholders and other persons whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed 20, and further provided that the group of shareholders shall have provided to the Secretary of the corporation as a part of providing the Notice a written agreement executed by each of its members designating one of the members as the exclusive member to interact with the corporation for purposes of this Section 12 on behalf of all members, and (B) a group of funds under common management and investment control shall be treated as one shareholder or person for this purpose.

nominate for election to the Board of Directors at the meeting any person other than the Shareholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this subsection (g), (3) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be, a “participant” in another person’s “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act in support of the election of any individual as a director at the meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a Board Nominee, (4) will not distribute to any shareholder any form of proxy for the meeting other than the form distributed by the corporation, (5) intends to continue to own the Required Shares through the date of the meeting, and (6) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the corporation and its shareholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (E) an undertaking that the Eligible Shareholder agrees to (1) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Shareholder’s communications with the corporation’s shareholders or out of the information that the Eligible Shareholder provided to the corporation, (2) indemnify and hold harmless the corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of any nomination submitted by the Eligible Shareholder pursuant to this subsection (g), (3) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission all soliciting and other materials as required under subdivision (x) of this subsection (g), and (4) comply with all other applicable laws, rules, regulations and listing standards with respect to any solicitation in connection with the meeting, and (F) if the Eligible Shareholder did not submit the name(s) of the Shareholder Nominee(s) to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors for consideration as Board Nominee(s), a brief explanation why the Eligible Shareholder elected not to do so. The inspectors of elections shall not give effect to the Eligible Shareholder’s votes with respect to the election of directors if the Eligible Shareholder does not comply with each of the representations in clause (D) above.
(v) For purposes of this subsection (g), an Eligible Shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of the corporation’s stock as to which a shareholder who is the Eligible Shareholder or is included in the group that constitutes the Eligible Shareholder possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (1) sold by or on behalf of such shareholder in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by or on behalf of such shareholder for any purpose or purchased by such shareholder pursuant to an agreement to resell or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by or on behalf of such shareholder whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding
shares of the corporation’s stock, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder. A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during (A) any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the shareholder, or (B) has loaned such shares, provided that the person has the power to recall such loaned shares on not more than three business days’ notice. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation’s stock are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the corporation and its shareholders.
(vi) The Eligible Shareholder may provide to the Secretary of the corporation, within the time period specified for providing the Notice, a written statement for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement for the meeting, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the Shareholder Nominee’s candidacy (the “Statement”).

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (H) if such Shareholder Nominee or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have provided information to the corporation in respect to such nomination that was untrue in any material respect or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as determined by the Board of Directors, (I) if the Eligible Shareholder who has nominated such Shareholder Nominee has filed a Schedule 13D with respect to the corporation within the past year or (J) if the Eligible Shareholder or applicable Shareholder Nominee otherwise breaches any of its or their obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 12. For purposes of these bylaws, the term “independent” shall have the meaning under the listing standards of the principal exchange upon which the corporation’s stock is traded, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the corporation’s directors, as determined by the Board of Directors.
(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the chairman of the meeting shall declare a nomination by an Eligible Shareholder to be invalid, and such nomination shall be disregarded notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation, if the Shareholder Nominee(s) and/or the applicable Eligible Shareholder shall have breached its or their obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 12, as determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting.
(ix) In addition to the information required to be provided by the Eligible Shareholder by subsections (b) and (d) of this Section 12, each Shareholder Nominee and each Board Nominee shall provide to the Secretary of the corporation, within two weeks of receipt of the Secretary’s written request therefore, the following information: (A) a completed copy of the corporation’s form of director’s questionnaire and a written consent of the Shareholder Nominee or the Board Nominee to the corporation following such processes for evaluation of such Nominee as the corporation follows in evaluating any other potential Board Nominee, as provided by the Secretary; (B) the Shareholder Nominee’s or the Board Nominee’s agreement to comply with the corporation’s corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality, share ownership and share trading policies, as provided by the Secretary; (C) written confirmation that the Shareholder Nominee or the Board Nominee (1) does not have, and will not have, any agreement or understanding as to how he or she will vote on any matter and (2) is not a party to, and will not become a party to, any outside compensation arrangement relating to service as a director of the corporation that has not been disclosed to the Secretary of the corporation; and (D) written disclosure of any transactions between the Eligible Shareholder and the Shareholder Nominee or the Board Nominee within the preceding five years.
(x) The Eligible Shareholder shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any solicitation or other communication with the corporation’s shareholders relating to the meeting at which the Shareholder Nominee will be nominated, regardless
of whether any such filing is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, or whether any exemption from filing is available for such solicitation or other communication under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.
(xi) No person may be a member of more than one group of persons constituting an Eligible Shareholder under this subsection (g).
(xii) Any Shareholder Nominee who is included in the corporation’s proxy materials for a particular meeting of shareholders but either (A) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the meeting, or (B) does not receive at least 25% of the votes cast in favor of the Shareholder Nominee’s election, shall be ineligible to be a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this subsection (g) for the next two annual meetings of shareholders following the meeting for which the Shareholder Nominee has been nominated for election.

KEY EMPLOYEES’ DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM OF
THE BRINK’S COMPANY
(Amended and Restated as of March 25, 2022)
PREAMBLE
The Key Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program of The Brink’s Company, as amended and restated (the “Program”), provides an opportunity to certain employees to defer receipt of (a) up to 90% of their cash incentive payments awarded under the Incentive Plan and any stock unit awards; (b) up to 50% of their base salary; (c) any or all amounts that are prevented from being deferred as a matched contribution under The Brink’s Company 401(k) Plan as a result of limitations imposed by Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k)(3), 402(g) and 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and (d) any and all other amounts that the Committee (as defined below), in its sole discretion, shall allow.
In order to align the interests of participants more closely to the long term interests of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) and its shareholders, the Program also (a) provides matching contributions with respect to certain cash incentive awards and salary deferrals and (b) allocates under the Program an amount equivalent to matching contributions that are not eligible to be made under The Brink’s Company 401(k) Plan as a result of limitations imposed by Code Section 401(m)(2) to Match Eligible Employees.
The Program is an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Section 201(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Section 3.04. Matching Incentive Contributions. Each Match Eligible Employee who has deferred a percentage of his or her Cash Incentive Payment for such Year pursuant to Section 3.03, shall have a Matching Incentive Contribution allocated to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for such Year.

The amount of an Employee’s deferred Cash Incentive Payment for any Year shall be credited to such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account beginning on the Employee’s Entry Date and continuing as of the last business day of the month in which the non-deferred portion of the Cash Incentive Payment was made, and each Employee may, in a manner compliant with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(o), elect one or more investment options selected by the Company, in its sole discretion, for the purpose of crediting or debiting additional amounts to such deferred amount (each such investment option, an “Eligible Investment Option”); provided, however, if such Employee elects to invest his or her deferred Cash Incentive Payment for any Year in Units, or fails to make a timely investment election (as prescribed by the Committee) with respect to such deferred Cash Incentive Payment, the portion of the Employee’s deferred Cash Incentive Payment so invested in Units or with respect to which a timely investment election was not made shall instead be converted to Units and credited to such Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account beginning on the Employee’s Entry Date and continuing as of the last business day of the month in which the Cash Incentive Payment was made. The amount of a Match Eligible Employee’s Matching Incentive Contributions for any Year shall be converted to Units and credited to such Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as of the last business day of the month in which the non-deferred portion of the applicable Cash Incentive Payment was made. The amount of an Employee’s Stock Unit Deferrals for any Year shall be converted to Units and credited to such Employee’s Stock Unit Deferral Account as of the Vesting Date for the applicable Stock Units.
The number (computed to at least the second decimal place) of Units credited to a Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for any Year for Matching Incentive Contributions shall be determined by dividing the aggregate amount of the Cash Incentive Payment deferred to such Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for such Year under this Section 3.06 or the Matching Incentive Contributions for such Year, as applicable, by the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day of the month in which the Cash Incentive Payment was made.
Section 3.07. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Stock Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split-up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to shareholders other than cash dividends.
Section 3.08. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink’s Stock, the Stock Incentive
Accounts of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Units, equal to the number of shares of Brink’s Stock, including fractional shares (computed to at least the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the applicable Stock Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of Shares represented by Units in such Stock Incentive Account as of the record date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
Section 3.09. Minimum Distribution. Distributions shall be made in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Brink’s Stock distributed to an Employee (or his or her beneficiaries) attributable to deferrals of Cash Incentive Payments otherwise payable in respect to services rendered prior to January 1, 2007 (including dividends relating to such Units but not Matching Incentive Contributions) shall not be less than the aggregate amount of Cash Incentive Payments and dividends (credited to his or her Pre-2015 Stock Incentive Account pursuant to Section 3.07) in respect of which such Units were initially so credited. The value of the Brink’s Stock, so distributed shall be considered equal to the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution.

Company. Such deferral election form shall include the Employee’s written election as to time and form of distribution of such deferred amount in accordance with Article 8. A Cash Incentive Account and/or Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account (which may be the same such accounts established pursuant to Articles 3 and/or 5) shall be established for each Employee making such election, and cash and/or Units, as applicable, in respect of such deferred amounts shall be credited to such accounts as provided in Section 4.05 below.
Section 4.04. Matching Salary Contributions. Each Match Eligible Employee who has deferred a percentage of his or her Salary for such Year pursuant to Section 4.03 shall have Matching Salary Contributions allocated to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for such Year.

A Cash Incentive Account and/or Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account (which may be the same such accounts established pursuant to Articles 3 and/or 4) shall be established for each Employee making such election, and cash and/or Units, as applicable, in respect of such deferred payment shall be credited to such accounts as provided in Section 5.05 below; provided, however, that in the event an Employee is not permitted to defer the maximum amount of his or her Compensation that may be contributed under the Savings Plan for any year as a result of the limitation imposed by Code Section 401(k)(3), such excess contribution to the Savings Plan shall be distributed to the Employee, his or her Compensation paid after the date of the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall be allocated to his or her accounts as soon as practicable following the first business day following the January 1 next following the Year for which the excess contribution was made under the Savings Plan and credited as provided in Section 5.05 below.
Section 5.04. Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions. Each Match Eligible Employee who has deferred a portion of his or her Compensation for such Year pursuant to Section 5.03 shall have a Matching Supplemental Savings Plan
Contribution allocated to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account equal to the amount elected to be deferred pursuant to Section 5.03 above for each month. The dollar amount of each Match Eligible Employee’s Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contribution deferred to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account shall be converted into Units and credited to such Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as provided in Section 5.05 below.
If a Match Eligible Employee is participating in this portion of the Program pursuant to Sections 5.02 and 5.03 and his or her matching contribution under the Savings Plan for any Year will be reduced as a result of the nondiscrimination test contained in Code Section 401(m)(2), (a) to the extent such matching contribution under the Savings Plan is forfeitable, it shall be forfeited and that amount shall be allocated to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as a Matching Contribution or (b) to the extent such matching contribution is not forfeitable, it shall be distributed to the Match Eligible Employee, his or her Compensation paid after the date of the distribution shall be reduced by that amount and such amount shall be allocated to his or her Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as a Matching Contribution. The dollar amount of such Matching Contribution shall be allocated to the Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as soon as practicable following the January 1 next following the Year for which the matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan. Units in respect of such contribution shall be credited to the Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as provided in Section 5.05 below.
Section 5.05. Crediting of Cash and Stock Incentive Accounts. The amount of an Employee’s deferred Compensation for any Year shall be credited to such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account beginning on the Employee’s Entry Date and continuing as of the last business day of the month in which such Compensation was earned, and each Employee may, in a manner compliant with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(o), elect one or more Eligible Investment Options for the purpose of crediting or debiting additional amounts to such deferred amount; provided, however, if such Employee elects to invest his or her deferred Compensation for any Year in Units, or fails to make a timely investment election (as prescribed by the Committee) with respect to such deferred Compensation, the portion of the Employee’s deferred Compensation so invested in Units or with respect to which a timely investment election was not made shall instead be converted to Units and credited to such Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account beginning on the Employee’s Entry Date and continuing as of the last business day of the month in which the Compensation was earned. The amount of a Match Eligible Employee’s Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contribution (representing amounts that cannot be contributed to the Savings Plan in respect of employee contributions due to applicable limits on such employee contributions) for any Year shall be converted to Units and shall be credited to such Match Eligible Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as of the last business day of the month in which the matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan.
The number (computed to at least the second decimal place) of Units credited to an Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for any month shall be determined by
dividing the aggregate amount of the Compensation deferred to such Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account for such month under this Section 5.05 or such Match Eligible Employee’s Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions for such month, as applicable, by the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day of the month in which the matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan.
Section 5.06. Adjustments. The Committee shall determine such equitable adjustments in the Units credited to each Stock Incentive Account as may be appropriate to reflect any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination, or exchange of shares, split up, split-off, spin-off, liquidation or other similar change in capitalization or any distribution to shareholders other than cash dividends.
Section 5.07. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink’s Stock, the Stock Incentive Accounts of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Units equal to the number of shares of Brink’s Stock, including fractional shares (computed to at least the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the applicable Stock Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of Shares represented by the Units in such Stock Incentive Account as of the record date and assuming that the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units of the class giving rise to the dividend or other distribution. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution for Units credited. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE 6

“Performance Measurement Period” A performance cycle of one or more fiscal years of the Company under the Management Performance Improvement Plan.

Section 6.04. Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a cash dividend or any other distribution is paid with respect to shares of Brink’s Stock, the Stock Incentive Accounts of each Employee will be credited with an additional number of Units equal to the number of shares of Brink’s Stock, including fractional shares (computed to at least the second decimal place), that could have been purchased had such dividend or other distribution been paid to the applicable Stock Incentive Account on the payment date for such dividend or distribution based on the number of Shares represented by the Units in such Stock Incentive Account as of the record date and assuming the amount of such dividend or value of such distribution had been used to acquire additional Units. Such additional Units shall be deemed to be purchased at the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the payment date for the dividend or other distribution. The value of any distribution in property will be determined by the Committee.
Section 6.05. Minimum Distribution.

The value of the Brink’s Stock, so distributed shall be considered equal to the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution.

Reallocations; Unconverted Amounts
Section 7.01. Reallocations Between Cash Incentive Accounts and Stock Incentive Accounts. Notwithstanding anything in the Program to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, no Employee may be permitted at any time to allocate amounts
deferred into the Employee's Cash Incentive Account to such Employee's Stock Incentive Accounts or allocate Units credited to such Employee's Stock Incentive Accounts to such Employee's Cash Incentive Account.
Section 7.02. Reallocations Among Investment Options. At any time after amounts have been credited to an Employee’s Cash Incentive Account in accordance with the Program, such Employee may, in a manner compliant with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(o), elect to change the allocation of amounts credited to an Employee’s Cash Incentive Account between Eligible Investment Options.
Section 7.03. Unconverted Amounts Upon Termination of Employment. Upon any Employee’s Termination of Employment, any cash amounts that are required to be converted into Units pursuant to any provision of the Program but have not been so converted as of the date of such Termination of Employment shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, be converted into Units and credited to such Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account immediately prior to any distributions pursuant to Article 8 based on the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the month in which the applicable Salary would have been payable or in which the matching contribution was made under the Savings Plan.
Section 7.04. Removal of Investment Option.

In the event that the Company ceases to offer a particular investment option, each Employee will be permitted to allocate amounts previously allocated to such discontinued investment option to one or more available Eligible Investment Options.
ARTICLE 8
Distributions; Changes to and Cancelations of Deferral Elections
Section 8.01. In Service Distributions. In connection with each deferral election made by an Employee under the Program, the Employee may (but shall not be required to) elect to receive distributions in cash and/or Brink’s Stock in respect of all or a portion of the amounts and/or Units covered by such deferral election (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto) standing to the credit of such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account, as applicable, prior to such Employee’s Termination of Employment. Such Employee may elect to receive (i) such cash amounts in a single-lump sum distribution on or in equal annual installments (at least two and not more than five) beginning on a nondiscretionary and objectively determinable calendar date (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)); provided, however, that if the aggregate value of the applicable portion of amounts credited to such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account at the time any such installment is due, is less than or equal to the lesser of $25,000 and the limitation calculated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(v)(B), then such
amounts shall be distributed to such Employee in a single-lump sum distribution in a manner that shall comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(v) and (ii) such Units in a single-lump sum distribution on a nondiscretionary and objectively determinable calendar date (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)). The distribution election(s) described in this Section 8.01 shall be made no later than the corresponding deferral election. After making such a distribution election, an Employee may subsequently change, at least 12 months prior to the first scheduled distribution under such Employee’s current election (such, date the “Initial Distribution”), his or her distribution election under this Section 8.01, but such Employee shall not be permitted to change his or her distribution election subsequent to the second such change. Distributions pursuant to any such subsequent election shall not commence earlier than the fifth anniversary of the Initial Distribution and any such subsequent election shall not become effective prior to the 12-month anniversary of the date such subsequent election is made and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, any such subsequent election shall be void and without effect with respect to any payment that would otherwise occur during the 12-month period following the date that such subsequent election is made, and the Employee's election in effect at the time that the subsequent election is made shall instead be applicable with respect to any such payment; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, a subsequent election shall be applicable with respect to installment payments that are payable after the 12-month period following the date that a such subsequent election is made provided that the Employee specifies that the subsequent election is applicable to each such installment payment. If an Employee experiences a Disability or dies prior to receiving all such distributions elected pursuant to this Section 8.01, such amounts and/or Units that have not been distributed shall be treated in accordance with Section 8.02 below.
(b) The amount of cash to be included in each installment pursuant to this Section 8.01, if applicable, shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the applicable portion of such Employee’s remaining Cash Incentive Account balance subject to such distribution election (i.e., the original amounts deferred under such election together with the amounts credited or debited to such Cash Incentive Account, reduced by the amounts subject to any prior installments) and the denominator of which is equal to the number of remaining installments (including the current installment).
(c) Any fractional Units distributed pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall be converted to cash based on the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution and shall be paid in cash.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.05 becomes applicable (whether or not distribution has commenced) prior to the date of the first scheduled distribution of any deferred amounts and/or Units under this Section 8.01, such provision shall apply instead of this Section 8.01; provided, however, that this Section 8.01 shall continue to apply to any deferred amounts and/or Units after the commencement
of distributions hereunder without regard to the potential subsequent application of Section 8.03 or 8.05. Section 8.02 shall apply in all events notwithstanding this Section 8.01.
Section 8.02. Certain Distributions on Death or Disability. Each Employee shall receive a distribution in cash and/or Brink’s Stock in respect of all amounts and/or Units (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto) standing to the credit of such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and Stock Incentive Accounts, as applicable, as of the date of such Employee’s death or Disability (whether or not distribution shall have previously commenced pursuant to Section 8.01, 8.03 or 8.05), in a single-lump sum distribution as soon as practicable, but no later than 45 days, after the date of such Employee’s death or Disability, as applicable.
(b) Any fractional Units distributed pursuant to this Section 8.02 shall be converted to cash based on the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution and shall be paid in cash.
(c) In the event of an Employee’s death or Disability after the provisions of Section 8.01, 8.03 or 8.05 have become applicable (whether or not distribution has commenced), this Section 8.02 shall apply in lieu of such Sections with respect to any amounts and/or Units that remain standing to the credit of such Employee’s Incentive Accounts as provided in Section 8.02(a).
Section 8.03. Certain Distributions on Termination of Employment. In connection with each deferral under the Program made after July 10, 2014, each Employee shall elect to receive (i) distributions in cash in respect of all amounts covered by such deferral election standing to the credit of such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account as of the date of such Employee’s Termination of Employment, in a single-lump sum distribution on the first day that is more than six months after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment or in equal annual installments (at least two and not more than five) commencing on the first day that is more than six months after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment, and with each subsequent installment being paid on each anniversary of such date that is more than six months after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment and (ii) distributions in Brink’s Stock in respect of all Units covered by such deferral election (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto) standing to the credit of such Employee’s Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account as of the date of such Employee’s Termination of Employment, in a single-lump sum distribution on the first day that is more than six months after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment. The distribution election described in this Section 8.03 shall be made no later than the corresponding deferral election. An Employee may subsequently change, at least 12 months prior to his or her Termination of Employment, such distribution election, but such an Employee shall not be permitted to change his or her distribution election subsequent to the second such change.
Distributions pursuant to any such subsequent election shall not commence earlier than the fifth anniversary of when distributions would have commenced under such Employee’s current election and any such subsequent election shall not become effective prior to the 12-month anniversary of the date the subsequent election is made and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, any such subsequent election made during the 12-month period prior to an Employee's Termination of Employment shall be void and without effect with respect to any payment that would otherwise occur during the 12-month period following the date that such subsequent election is made, and the Employee's election in effect at the time that the subsequent election is made shall instead remain applicable with respect to any such payment; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, a subsequent election shall be applicable with respect to installment payments that are payable after the 12-month period following the date that a such subsequent election is made provided that the Employee specifies that the subsequent election is applicable to each such installment payment. In the event that an Employee fails to clearly and unambiguously elect a form of distribution under this Section 8.03(a) with respect to all or a portion of any amounts standing to the credit of (or to be credited to) such Employee’s Incentive Accounts, such Employee will be deemed to have elected to receive a single-lump sum distribution as provided for pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) with respect thereto.
(b) In connection with each deferral election made prior to January 1, 2014 under the Program, for any Termination of Employment, each Employee shall receive distributions in Brink’s Stock in respect of all Units (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions (other than Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions) and dividends related thereto) standing to the credit of such Employee’s Pre-2015 Stock Incentive Account in a single-lump sum distribution on the first day that is more than six months after the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment or in accordance with any applicable distribution election made by such Employee covered by such applicable deferral election prior to January 1, 2014.
(c) The amount of cash to be included in each installment pursuant to this Section 8.03, if applicable, shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the applicable portion of such Employee’s remaining applicable Cash Incentive Account balance subject to such distribution election (i.e., the original amounts deferred under such election together with the amounts credited or debited to such Cash Incentive Account, reduced by the amounts subject to any prior installments) and the denominator of which is equal to the number of remaining installments (including the current installment).
(d) Any fractional Units distributed pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall be converted to cash based on the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution and shall be paid in cash.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.05 becomes applicable (whether or not distribution has commenced) prior to the applicable Employee’s Termination of Employment, the provisions of Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.05, as applicable, shall apply instead of this Section 8.03; provided, however, that this Section 8.03 shall continue to apply to any deferred amounts and/or Units after the occurrence of such Employee’s Termination of Employment without regard to the potential subsequent application of Section 8.01 or 8.05. Section 8.02 shall apply in all events notwithstanding this Section 8.03.
Section 8.04. Distributions Attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions and Matching Salary Contributions on Termination of Employment. In the event of a Match Eligible Employee’s (a) death, (b) Retirement, (c) Disability or (d) Termination of Employment for any reason within three years following a Change in Control (other than a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause), such Match Eligible Employee shall receive a distribution of Brink’s Stock in respect of each Unit standing to the credit of such Match Eligible Employee’s Stock Incentive Accounts attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto in the same manner as provided in Section 8.02 or 8.03, as applicable, for the distribution of the applicable deferred amount that gave rise to the Matching Incentive Contribution, Matching Salary Contribution, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contribution or dividend related thereto that was converted into such Unit.
In the event of a Termination of Employment for a reason not described in the preceding paragraph and that is not in connection with a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, such Match Eligible Employee shall be vested in the Units standing to the credit of such Match Eligible Employee in his or her Stock Incentive Accounts attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto in accordance with the following schedule:
| | | | | |
Months of Service | Vested Percentage |
| |
less than 36 | 0 |
at least 36 but less than 48 | 50% |
at least 48 but less than 60 | 75% |
60 or more | 100% |
For periods beginning on and after August 1, 2021, a Match Eligible Employee shall receive credit for one “month of service” under the Program for each calendar month of service with the Company (without regard to whether such Match Eligible Employee participates in subsequent calendar years) through the date of such Match Eligible Employee’s Termination of Employment; provided, however, if subsequent to a Match Eligible Employee’s Termination of Employment for any reason, such former Match Eligible
Employee again becomes eligible to participate in the Program, any prior credits for “months of service” shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Brink’s Stock in respect of each vested Unit standing to the credit of such Match Eligible Employee attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto shall be distributed as provided in Section 8.02 or 8.03, as applicable, and any remaining unvested Units shall be forfeited; provided further, that any such distribution pursuant to Section 8.03 shall be pursuant to an election made by such Match Eligible Employee as provided for under Section 8.03 in respect of Units deferred under the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, a Match Eligible Employee shall always be vested in any Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions that are not Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions.
Section 8.05. Distribution Following a Change in Control. In the event of a 409A Change in Control, each Employee shall receive a single-lump sum distribution in cash and/or Brink’s Stock (or stock of the successor to the Company, if any) in respect of all amounts and/or Units (other than Units attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions, Stock Unit Deferrals and dividends related thereto) standing to the credit of such Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and Post-2014 Stock Incentive Account, as applicable, on the earlier of (i) the date that is 15 months from the 409A Change in Control and (ii) the date (the “Specified Distribution Date”) specified in any applicable deferral election of the Employee, but only to the extent that such Specified Distribution Date is within 12 months from the 409A Change in Control; provided, however, such Employee may, with respect to each deferral election under the Program made on or after July 10, 2014, elect prior to the earlier of (A) the date that is three months after the occurrence of the 409A Change in Control and (B) the date that is at least 12 months prior to the Specified Distribution Date designated by the Employee in any applicable deferral election, to receive the amounts and/or Units subject to such deferral election in a single-lump sum distribution or, in the case of amounts subject to such deferral elections only, in equal annual installments (at least two and not more than five) commencing no earlier than the fifth anniversary of the date such amounts and/or Units would have been distributed absent such election, and each such distribution election shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b).
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03 becomes applicable (whether or not distribution has commenced) prior to a 409A Change in Control, the provisions of Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, as applicable, shall apply instead of this Section 8.05; provided, however, that this Section 8.05 shall continue to apply to any deferred amounts and/or Units after the occurrence of a 409A Change in Control without regard to the potential subsequent application of Section 8.01 or 8.03. Section 8.02 shall apply in all events notwithstanding this Section 8.05.
Section 8.06. Unforeseeable Emergencies. An Employee who experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency may petition the Company to receive a partial or
full payout from his or her Cash Incentive Account and/or Stock Incentive Accounts to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3). Such payout, if any, shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Emergency, plus amounts necessary to pay Federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution, but after taking into account any additional compensation available by canceling deferral elections as permitted under the Program or any other non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which the Employee participates. An Employee shall not be eligible to receive a payout according to this Section 8.06 to the extent that such a payout would not be permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3) or the Unforeseeable Emergency is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (b) by liquidation of the Employee’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship or (c) by cessation of deferrals under the Program.
Section 8.07. Changes to and Cancelations of Deferral Elections. Any election to defer under the Program shall be irrevocable, in the case of (a) amounts under the Program for any Year, (i) on and after the first day of such Year or (ii) in the case of an election made by a newly eligible Employee for his or her initial Year of eligibility, after the date such an election is made and (b) Cash Performance Payments under the Program for any Performance Measurement Period, after the last date for making such an election, as specified in the second or third sentence of Section 6.03, above, as applicable (it being understood that an Employee may only change any such election prior to its becoming irrevocable in accordance with procedures established by the Company). After such election has become irrevocable, an Employee may only subsequently change such election consistent with this Article 8 and Code Section 409A but may, in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(viii), cancel any such election.
Section 8.08. Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause. In the event of a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause, the Match Eligible Employee shall forfeit all of the Units standing to the credit of the Match Eligible Employee’s Stock Incentive Accounts attributable to Matching Incentive Contributions, Matching Salary Contributions, Post-2014 Matching Supplemental Savings Plan Contributions and dividends related thereto.
Section 8.09. Installment Payments. For purposes of Section 409A, each installment payment provided for under this Article 8 will be deemed to be a separate payment as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).
Section 8.10. Distribution Timing. Distributions made pursuant to this Article 8 will be made on the designated payment date or as soon as administratively practicable following such date.
ARTICLE 9
Designation of Beneficiary
An Employee may designate in a written election filed with the Company a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a natural person) to receive all distributions and payments under the Program after the Employee’s death. Any such designation may be revoked, and a new election may be made, at any time and from time to time, by the Employee without the consent of any beneficiary. If the Employee designates more than one beneficiary, any distributions and payments to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal percentages unless the Employee has designated otherwise, in which case the distributions and payments shall be made in the percentages designated by the Employee. If no beneficiary has been named by the Employee or no beneficiary survives the Employee, the remaining amounts and/or Shares (including fractional Shares) in the Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and/or Stock Incentive Accounts shall be distributed or paid in a single lump-sum sum to the Employee’s estate. All distributions from an Employee’s Stock Incentive Accounts shall be made in Shares except that fractional Shares shall be paid in cash.
ARTICLE 10
Miscellaneous
Section 10.01 Nontransferability of Benefits. Except as provided in Article 9, amounts and/or Units credited to a Cash Incentive Account and/or Stock Incentive Account shall not be transferable by an Employee or former Employee (or his or her beneficiaries) other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order. No Employee, no person claiming through such Employee, nor any other person shall have any right or interest under the Program, or in its continuance, in the payment of any amount or distribution of any amounts and/or Shares under the Program, unless and until all the provisions of the Program, any determination made by the Committee thereunder, and any restrictions and limitations on the payment itself have been fully complied with. Except as provided in this Section 10.01, no rights under the Program, contingent or otherwise, shall be transferable, assignable or subject to any pledge or encumbrance of any nature, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated, except as otherwise required by law, to recognize or give effect to any such transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance.
Section 10.02. Notices. The Company may require all elections contemplated by the Program to be made on forms provided by it. All notices, elections and other communications pursuant to the Program shall be effective when received by the Company either, in the Company’s sole discretion, via electronic delivery through a Company email system or by reference to a location on a Company intranet or secure internet site to which the Employee has access or in writing delivered to the following address:

Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Employee. Nothing in the Program shall be deemed to create, on the part of any Employee, beneficiary or other person, (a) any interest of any kind in the assets of the Company or (b) any trust or fiduciary relationship in relation to the Company. The right of an Employee to receive any amounts and/or Shares shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
Section 10.04. No Contract of Employment. The benefits provided under the Program for an Employee shall be in addition to, and in no way preclude, other forms of compensation to or in respect of such Employee. However, the eligibility criteria in the Program shall not give such Employee any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period. The right of the Company and of each such Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Employee for any reason or at any time is specifically reserved.
Section 10.05. Withholding. All distributions pursuant to the Program shall be subject to withholding in respect of income and other taxes required by law to be withheld. The Company shall establish appropriate procedures to ensure payment or withholding of such taxes. Such procedures may include arrangements for payment or withholding of taxes by retaining Shares otherwise issuable in accordance with the provisions of the Program or by accepting already owned Shares, and by applying the fair market value of such Shares to the withholding taxes payable. The value of the Brink’s Stock distributed to an Employee pursuant to the Program shall, for purposes of income taxes and all other applicable taxes, be considered equal to the per share reported closing price of Brink’s Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the final trading day immediately preceding the date of distribution.
Section 10.06. Amendment and Termination. The Committee may from time to time amend any of the provisions of the Program, or may at any time terminate the Program. No amendment or termination shall adversely affect any Units (or distributions in respect thereof) which shall theretofore have been credited to any Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and/or Stock Incentive Accounts. On the termination of the Program, distributions from an Employee’s Cash Incentive Account and/or Stock Incentive Accounts shall be made in compliance with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.
