| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On March 5, 2026, NCR
Atleos Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it has commenced a solicitation of consents (the “Consent
Solicitation”) from the holders of its 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) to amend certain
provisions of the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”).
The Consent Solicitation is being conducted in
connection with the Company’s previously announced agreement to merge (the “Merger”) with The Brink’s Company,
a Virginia corporation (“Brink’s”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 26, 2026
(the “Merger Agreement”). The Company is soliciting consents to amend the defined term “Change of Control” to
provide that the Merger will not constitute a Change of Control and to add or amend certain other defined terms contained in the Indenture
related to the foregoing. The obligations of the Company, Brink’s and the other parties to the Merger Agreement to consummate the
Merger in accordance with the terms thereof are not conditioned on a successful completion of the Consent Solicitation.
In connection with the Consent Solicitation, the
Company issued a press release on March 5, 2026 announcing the commencement of the Consent Solicitation. A copy of such press
release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information provided under
Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and is not deemed to be “filed”
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section and is not incorporated by
reference into any filing of Brink’s under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange
Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to this Current Report
on Form 8-K in such a filing.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “anticipate,”
“assume,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “target,” “possible,”
“project,” “predict,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,”
“may,” “should”, “will” and similar expressions are based on current expectations and assumptions
and are subject to risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict or quantify,
and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are anticipated.
Factors that could cause actual
results to differ include, but are not limited to: Brink’s ability to consummate the proposed transaction with the Company (the
“Transactions”); the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the
Merger Agreement; Brink’s ability to finance the Transactions; Brink’s indebtedness, including the substantial indebtedness
Brink’s will incur in connection with the Transactions and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such
debt; failure to consummate any anticipated repayment of the combined company’s indebtedness
in the expected timeframe or at all; failure to obtain applicable regulatory or shareholder approvals in a timely manner or otherwise;
failure to satisfy any other conditions to closing of the Transactions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of the
Transactions in the expected timeframe or at all, including as a result of a delay in consummating the Transactions; the success of integration
plans and the time required to successfully integrate the Company’s operations with those of Brink’s; the focus of management’s
time and attention on the Transactions and other potential disruptions arising from the Transactions; the effects of the announcement
of the Transactions on Brink’s or the Company’s businesses; that operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including,
without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with banks, employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected
following the public announcement of the Transactions; Brink’s or the Company’s ability to retain certain key employees following
the public announcement of the Transactions; the potential for litigation related to the Transactions; Brink’s or the Company’s
ability to obtain certain third party or governmental regulatory consents, approvals or clearances; potential undisclosed liabilities
of the Company not identified during the due diligence process; the impact of the Transactions on the market price of Brink’s or
the Company’s common stock and/or operating results; and general economic conditions that are less favorable than expected.
Additional information concerning
other risk factors is also contained in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of (i) Brink’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, and (ii) the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026 and, in each case,
in subsequent filings with the SEC.
The forward-looking information
included in this Current Report on Form 8-K is representative only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Brink’s
and the Company undertake no obligation to update, revise or clarify any information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K
or forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time on either of their behalf, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the Transactions,
Brink’s will file with the SEC the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), which will

of Brink’s securities to be issued to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the completion of the Transactions. Brink’s
and the Company may also file other documents with the SEC regarding the Transactions. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a substitute
for the Registration Statement, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus or any other document which Brink’s or the Company may
file with the SEC. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT
DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED OR WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS, CAREFULLY AND IN

Participants in the Solicitation
Brink’s, the Company,
and certain of their directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders
of Brink’s or the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information about
the interests of the directors and executive officers of Brink’s and the Company and other persons who may be deemed to be participants
in the solicitation of shareholders of Brink’s or the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Transactions and a description
of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus
related to the Transactions, which will be filed with the SEC. Additional information (i) about Brink’s, the directors and
executive officers of Brink’s and their ownership of Brink’s Common Stock can also be found in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026, and its definitive proxy statement, as filed

statement, as filed with the SEC on April 4, 2025, and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC. Free copies
of these documents may be obtained as described above. To the extent holdings of Brink’s or the Company’s securities by its
directors or executive officers have changed since the amounts set forth in such documents, such changes have been or will be reflected
