Amended and Restated Credit Agreement On March 31, 2026, The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (the “ Company ” or “ Brink’s ”), and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers or guarantors entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented, the “ Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder, and the lenders party thereto. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2017 ( as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof ), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent thereunder. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, (a) (1) a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.225 billion (the “ Refinanced Term Loan Facility ”), which replaces, on a cashless basis, the Company’s outstanding existing initial term loans of $1.225 billion and (2) $1.025 billion of senior secured delayed draw term loan commitments (the “ Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility ”), which Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility is available for use in connection with the Company’s pending acquisition of NCR Atleos Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“ NCR Atleos ”), (b) a revolving credit facility consisting of revolving A and revolving B commitments, in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion (the “ Refinanced Revolving Loan Facility ”), which replaces the Company’s existing revolving A credit commitments and revolving B credit commitments, and (c) up to $600 million of additional “upsize” revolving commitments available for use in connection with the Company’s pending acquisition of NCR Atleos (the “ Upsized Revolver ”). The Refinanced Revolving Loan Facility allows for (x) multicurrency borrowings with a foreign currency sublimit of up to $750 million, (y) up to $200 million of Swingline Loan borrowings and (z) the issuance of up to $150 million in the aggregate of revolving letters of credit (subject to sublimits between revolving A and revolving B facilities). The proceeds of the loans provided under the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility and the Upsized Revolver are intended to be used to fund a portion of the purchase price to be paid by the Company in connection with its proposed acquisition of NCR Atleos, refinance indebtedness of NCR Atleos, and fund general corporate purposes. The Delayed Draw Term Loan replaces certain bridge financing commitments provided under the Company’s debt commitment letter with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage plus, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the Prime Rate, (2) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (3) one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (4) 1.00%, or (ii) Term SOFR for a one, three, or six-month interest period as published two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day. The term loans under the Refinanced Term Loan Facility (and, to the extent drawn, the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility) will amortize quarterly, and the Refinanced Term Loan Facility and the Refinanced Revolving Loan Facility (and, to the extent drawn, the Upsized Revolver and the Delayed Draw Term Loan) will mature on March 31, 2031, in each case, subject to a customary springing maturity tied to certain specified indebtedness. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for facilities of this type, including limitations on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to designate subsidiaries as unrestricted, to make certain investments, to prepay certain subordinated indebtedness and to pay dividends, or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases, in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries’ equity interests. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which require compliance with (a) a Consolidated Net Secured Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any test period, with an allowance, subject to certain conditions, for a 0.50 to 1.00 step-up for four fiscal quarters in connection with certain material acquisitions, and (b) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any test period to be no less than 2.50 to 1.00. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including certain customary change of control events.
