Effective December 31, 2005, participants in The Brink's Company

Plan (the "PEP") will cease to earn additional benefit accrual service, although
participants will continue to accrue vesting service in accordance with the
terms of the PRP and the PEP, as applicable. Beginning January 1, 2006, the
matching contribution under The Brink's Company 401(k) Plan will be increased
