This Amendment No. 7 on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the Common Stock, Par Value $1 Per Share (the “Common Stock”), of The Brink's Company, a Virginia corporation (the “Issuer”), the principal executive offices of which are located at 1801 Bayberry Court, Richmond, Virginia 23226-8100. This Amendment No. 7 amends and restates in full each of the items set forth below. Terms not defined in this Amendment No. 7 shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D as originally deemed filed on February 6, 2004 ("Original 13D").
MMI Investments purchased the Shares as part of its investment activities. The Reporting Persons intend to review and evaluate the investment by MMI Investments in the Common Stock of the Issuer on an ongoing basis and may, depending upon their evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer, or such other considerations as they may deem relevant, determine to increase, decrease, or dispose of MMI Investments’ holdings of Common Stock. As a part of such review and evaluation, the Reporting Persons may communicate with the Issuer’s management, directors and other shareholders, including as described below.
On April 20, 2005, MMI Investments submitted to the Issuer's Board of Directors a letter and attachment, filed as Exhibit 2, hereto, discussing MMI's views concerning the desirability of the Issuer exiting BAX.
On December 15, 2006, MMI Investments submitted to the Issuer's Board of Directors the presentation, with attachments, filed as Exhibit 3 hereto concerning a then-intended stockholder value proposal by an unaffiliated stockholder of the Issuer. A copy of the cover letter used to transmit a copy of such presentation to the Board of Directors of the Issuer is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto.
On March 30, 2007, MMI Investments submitted to the Issuer's Board of Directors the presentation, with attachments, filed as Exhibit 5 hereto recommending that the Issuer consider a spin-off of one of its two business segments for the reasons described in such presentation. A copy of the letter, with related enclosure, used to transmit a copy of such presentation to the Board of Directors of the Issuer is filed as Exhibit 6 hereto.
On July 11, 2007, MMI Investments submitted to the Issuer’s Board of Directors the letter, with attachments, filed as Exhibit 7 hereto presenting MMI's views concerning the potential desirability of a spin-off of one of its two business segments.
In order to retain its flexibility to determine to increase MMI Investments’ holdings of Common Stock to more than 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, MMI Investments on August 8, 2007 notified the Issuer and filed a Notification and Report Form under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act") and request early termination of the waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act. Upon such filing, the filing of the Issuer’s responsive filing, and the expiration or early termination of the waiting period, the Reporting Persons would be permitted under the HSR Act to purchase additional shares of Common Stock such that the Reporting Persons could hold up to $500 million (subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the HSR Act, with the current threshold being $597.9 million) in total market value of Common Stock at the time of such purchase. However, MMI Investments does not currently intend to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer if, as a result of the purchase, it would own more than 14.9% of the outstanding Common Stock (which would have represented a market value of approximately $413 million based on the number of shares outstanding at August 1, 2007 and the closing price on August 8, 2007).
Other than as described in this Item 4, neither Reporting Person, nor, to the knowledge of each Reporting Person, any individuals listed on Schedule I, has any current plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided that the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.
- Page 5 of 9 -
(a)-(b) Based on 48,496,179 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2007, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on August 2, 2007 (which reflects acquisitions of Common Stock by the Issuer subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 6 to the Original 13D), the Shares owned by MMI Investments represent approximately 8.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. MMI Investments has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of such Shares on the date of this Statement. However, by virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MMI Investments and have sole power over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having the sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of MMI Investments with respect to such Shares.
Except for the Shares owned by MMI Investments, as of the date hereof, neither MCM nor, to MMI Investments' and MCM's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I, owns any Common Stock of the Issuer or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of other Common Stock of the Issuer.
(c) There have been no transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the past 60 days by MMI Investments, MCM, or, to either Reporting Person’s knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I.
(d) No person other than MMI Investments is known to either Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares referred to in Item 5(a) above.
(e) Not applicable.
See Exhibit Index appearing elsewhere herein, which is incorporated herein by reference.
