Dear Messrs. Jennings & Lurie:

 

We read with interest the announcement of Monitor Group’s retention by The Brink’s Company “to assist in the ongoing evaluation of the various strategic options available to the company.” During our more than four years as one of the largest owners of Brink’s we have spent extensive time and effort scrutinizing Brink’s chronic undervaluation and attempting to unlock the company’s significant intrinsic value through the encouragement of strategic alternatives. We believe Monitor Group would benefit from our experience and insights on these issues and would appreciate the opportunity to communicate with your team directly.

 

We hope you would agree that any comprehensive “assessment of the most effective path to create both long-term and short-term value for shareholders” would include the views of those shareholders – the owners of the company. We will therefore gladly make ourselves available to discuss these issues, with the understanding, of course, that you cannot and would not be expected to discuss any material non-public information regarding the company. We believe our input would benefit your analysis, as we believe it has benefited the company. Please feel free to contact me at (212) 586-4333.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

/s/ CLAY LIFFLANDER

 

 

 

Clay Lifflander
