Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 23, 2009, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors of The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) adopted the 2009 performance measures for the executive officers under the Company’s Management Performance Improvement Plan.  In order for the executive officers to be deemed to have met their goals, the aggregate three-year performance measures require Brink’s, Incorporated to achieve specific thresholds for revenue, operating profit, and economic value added, and for the Company to achieve an earnings per share target.  The earnings per share target was assigned a 33.34% weighting and the three performance goals for Brink’s, Incorporated were collectively assigned a 66.66% weighting.  Performance award targets for the 2009-2011 Performance Measurement Period were set as follows: Michael T. Dan, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, $1,000,000; Michael J. Cazer, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, $200,000; Frank T. Lennon, Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, $170,000; McAlister C. Marshall, II, Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, $130,000; and Matthew A.P. Schumacher, Controller, $60,000.  Actual awards can range from 0% to 200% of the target depending on performance against the pre-established measures.
