ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUES
This Amendment No. 4 on Schedule 13D (this Statement) relates to the
Common Stock, Par Value $1 Per Share (the Common Stock), of The Brinks 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. 4 amends and restates in full each of the
items set forth below. Terms not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the respective meanings
given to such terms in the Schedule 13D as originally deemed filed on February 6, 2004 (Original
13D).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
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 Issuers management,
directors and other shareholders, including as described below.
On April 20, 2005, MMI Investments submitted to the Issuers Board of Directors a letter and
attachment, filed as Exhibit 2, hereto, discussing MMIs views concerning the desirability of the
Issuer exiting BAX.
According to the publicly available 13D amendment filed by Pirate Capital LLC, the general
partner of Jolly Roger Fund LP, on November 21, 2006, Jolly Roger Fund LP notified the Issuer of
its intent to make the following proposal (the Stockholder Value Proposal) at the Issuers 2007
annual meeting of stockholders: RESOLVED, that the stockholders of The Brinks Company recommend
that the Board of Directors immediately engage a nationally recognized investment banking firm to
explore all strategic alternatives (outside of the ordinary course of business) to increase
stockholder value, including, but not limited to, the sale of the Company or a Dutch tender offer
for the Companys common stock.
While MMI Investments has not discussed this intended Stockholder Value Proposal with Pirate
Capital LLC, Jolly Roger Fund LP or any other stockholder, it expects, absent significant
intervening actions by the Issuer designed to increase stockholder value or a compelling argument
in opposition, to support such proposal if presented at the Issuers 2007 annual meeting of
stockholders for the reasons described in the presentation dated December 15, 2006 and related
attachments filed as Exhibit 3 hereto. A copy of the cover letter used to transmit a copy of this
presentation to the Board of Directors of the Issuer is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto.
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 4 of 8 -
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a)-(b) Based on 48,505,239 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 1,
2006, as reported in the Issuers Form 10-Q filed November 3, 2006 (which reflects issuances of
Common Stock by the Issuer subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 3 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 MCMs 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 Persons 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.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

reference.
