Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2010, Brink’s Network, Incorporated (“BNI”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”), entered into a First Amendment to Brand Licensing Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Barricade Merger Sub, Inc. (“Barricade”), successor by merger to Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. (“BHSH”). On May 14, 2010, BHSH was merged into Barricade, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco International Ltd. The First Amendment amends the Brand Licensing Agreement dated October 31, 2008 between BNI and BHSH (the “Brand Licensing Agreement”) that was entered into in connection with the Company’s spin-off of BHSH in 2008.
The First Amendment (i) fixes a termination date of August 15, 2010 (subject to a limited extension period described below, the “Termination Date”) for the Brand Licensing Agreement and establishes a fixed royalty amount of $2,770,000 for the period beginning April 1, 2010 and ending on the Termination Date, to be paid by Barricade to BNI on or before July 21, 2010, and (ii) provides Barricade with the right to extend the Termination Date of the Brand Licensing Agreement until August 27, 2010, for an additional payment of $307,778.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the First Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
