Agreement relating to SPA 1 and SPA 2 (each as defined below)

G4S plc (“G4S”) and The Brink’s Company (“Brink’s”, and together with G4S, the “Parties” and each of them, a “Party”) have entered into: (i) the dated 26 February 2020 relating to the sale and purchase of G4S Cash Solutions Holdings No 2 Limited, G4S Group Holding (Asia) B.V., G4S Cash Solutions Holdings B.V. and G4S Cash Solutions (Belgium) S.A./N.V., (as amended on 30 March 2020) (“SPA 1”); and (ii) the dated 26 February 2020 relating to the sale and purchase of, inter alia, the Netherlands Companies (as amended on 30 March 2020) (“SPA 2”, and together with SPA 1, the “Agreements”). Terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Agreements.

In accordance with Clause 15.5 of SPA 1 and Clause 15.5 of SPA 2, G4S and Brink’s now wish to amend the Agreements as set out in this Letter.

It is agreed as follows:


1	SPA 1


1.1	G4S and Brink’s agree that:


1.1.1	Closing for Malaysia and the Dominican Republic (“Third Closing Countries”) shall take place on 27 April 2020; and


1.1.2	Closing for Indonesia (“Fourth Closing Country”) shall take place on 6 July 2020 unless deferred in accordance with clause 7.1.1 of SPA 1; and


1.1.3	they will, during the course of the week beginning 27 April 2020, work together in good faith to agree any reasonable amendments required to SPA 1 to provide that the Seller will not extract value from the Fourth Closing Country in the period from the Effective Time (which is 31 March 2020) to the Closing Date of the Fourth Country Closing Country.


1.2	In order to effect the changes in paragraphs 1.1.1 – 1.1.2 above, G4S and Brink’s agree to:


1.2.1	amend clause 7.1.1 of SPA 1 to read as follows:

“7.1.1

Closing shall take place virtually on 6 April 2020 in respect of the First Closing Countries, and on 20 April 2020 in respect of the Second Closing Countries (in each case to provide the Seller and the Purchaser with sufficient time between the date of this Agreement and Closing to plan for the Cash Reconciliation Process), or at such other location, time or date as may be agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller.

Closing shall take place virtually on 27 April 2020 in respect of the Third Closing Countries, and on 6 July 2020 in respect of the Fourth Closing Country, or at such other location, time or date as may be agreed between the Purchaser and the Seller.

The parties will discuss in good faith whether it is reasonable to defer specific Closing Dates only in the event that it is impossible because of impediments directly related to COVID-19 to conduct the Cash Count in any particular country or countries, provided that the Purchaser has clearly used its best endeavours to prepare for and conduct each of the Cash Counts, including but not limited to applying for, or taking advantage of, any relevant exemptions or exceptions from COVID-19 related laws, making appropriate contingency plans and using reputable third parties to conduct Cash Counts on its behalf (if required). Upon request, the Purchaser shall inform the Seller of everything it has done to prepare for and conduct each Cash Count in good time before any such Cash Count is due to take place.”.


1.3	G4S and Brink’s further agree to the inclusion of the following new and amended definitions in clause 1.1 of SPA 1:

““Fourth Closing Country” means Indonesia;”;

““Second Closing Countries” means Cyprus, the Czech Republic and Romania, and “Second Closing Country” means any one of them;”; and

““Third Closing Countries” means the Dominican Republic and Malaysia and “Third Closing Country” means any one of them;”.


1.4	G4S and Brink’s acknowledge that certain minority interests in Romania will be transferred on the Closing Date for the Third Closing Countries and agree that, notwithstanding this delayed transfer of such minority interests, the Closing Date for Romania shall be 20 April 2020.


1.5	Steering Committee – Fourth Closing Country (Indonesia)


1.5.1	Within 5 Business Days of the date of this Letter the parties shall jointly establish and maintain a steering committee (the “Committee”) until the Closing Date for the Fourth Closing Country (the “Indonesia Closing Date”).

1.5.2

G4S and Brink’s agree that the purpose of the Committee is to provide, between the date of this Letter and the Indonesian Closing Date and subject to Applicable Law, the parties with information on the trading, operational and financial performance of the business of the Fourth Closing Country (the “Indonesian Business”) and for the Committee to provide advice to management in respect of material business decisions relating to the Indonesian Business. G4S shall request that management take reasonable account of any such advice.


1.5.3	The Committee shall be comprised of two representatives of each of G4S and Brink’s, being Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx as the G4S representatives and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxx (or such other persons as may be nominated by Brink’s) as the Brink’s representatives.
