Mark Eubanks

The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO) (“Brink’s”) and NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL) (“NCR Atleos”) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Brink’s will acquire NCR Atleos in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $6.6 billion, comprised of 13.3 million shares of Brink’s common stock and $2.2 billion in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $2.6 billion of NCR Atleos’ indebtedness.

The transaction combines two leading financial technology infrastructure providers, joining Brink's global cash management expertise and route-based infrastructure with NCR Atleos’ end-to-end ATM management and services expertise as well as its owned-and-operated ATM network and fast-growing ATM as a Service (ATMaaS) outsourcing solutions. By bringing together the complementary products, services and software of the two companies, Brink’s will be able to provide financial institutions and retail customers with an even broader set of solutions.

“This acquisition further supports Brink's ability to deliver enhanced customer solutions and accelerates our value creation strategy,” said Mark Eubanks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brink's. “NCR Atleos is a partner we know well, and our business cultures are closely aligned around customer success, continuous improvement, and managing the interface between physical to digital payments to enable ease of cash acceptance and use. By combining our organizations, we gain critical scale and complementary, integrated capabilities to drive our ambitious growth strategy and provide new levels of service to our global customer base.”

Tim Oliver, President and Chief Executive Officer of NCR Atleos, said, “This transaction represents a strategic opportunity for NCR Atleos. The extraordinary efforts of the NCR Atleos team over the two years since our separation from legacy NCR have strengthened our leading ATM installed base, sustained best-in-class service levels and introduced innovative products. Combining the complementary service-led businesses of Brink's and NCR Atleos will enable us to enhance offerings to financial institutions and retailers, and create more opportunities for our employees. The transaction delivers significant value to NCR Atleos shareholders and enables their participation in the future success of the combined company.”

Strategic Benefits

• Expanded and diversified offering: The combination will establish greater scale and geographic depth with an improved ability to serve financial institutions, governments, retailers, and independent ATM operators through an integrated set of expanded technology, logistics, and service capabilities across a global footprint of more than 140 countries.
• Superior customer solutions: By integrating NCR Atleos’ leading ATM software, services, installed base of ATMs and strong customer relationships with some of the most well-known financial institutions and retailers, Brink's will be able to expand its customer base and offer more comprehensive and integrated services and products to help customers operate more efficiently.
