BRINKS CO

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”), primarily related to cross-border shipments of cash and things of value and anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance. Subsequently, in March 2024, as is commonly the case with this type of matter, the Company received a Notice of Investigation from the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) related to Bank Secrecy Act/AML compliance that involves substantially the same conduct that was the subject to the DOJ’s investigation.

On January 31, 2025, Brink’s Global Services USA, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Consent Order Imposing Civil Money Penalty with FinCEN and a Non-Prosecution Agreement (the “NPA”) with the DOJ, to fully resolve these matters. As part of these resolutions, the Company agreed to pay $42 million to these agencies over three years, beginning in January 2025 and, as of December 31, 2024, accrued $42 million for the settlement amounts. The Company agreed to pay FinCEN $17 million (which represents the amount due after crediting $20 million to the Company’s payment to the DOJ from the total $37 million penalty assessed by FinCEN). The Company agreed to pay $25 million to the DOJ (which represents the amount due after crediting $5 million for the Company’s swift resolution and acceptance of responsibility as well as $20 million that will be forgiven at the end of the two-year term of the NPA so long as the Company has not breached the NPA).

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 filed its response to the complaint in November 2022, which signaled the beginning of the evidentiary phase. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the FNE's complaint. Based on available information to date, the Company recorded a charge of $9.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 in connection with this matter. After the third quarter of 2021, all adjustments to the contingent liability have resulted primarily from changes in currency rates.

In addition to the matters discussed above, 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 legal matters currently pending against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
