RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brink's Company (NYSE: BCO), a global leader in security-related services, announced today that it has agreed to sell its Threshold Financial Technologies subsidiary to DirectCash Payments Inc. (TXI: DCI) for $50 million.  Under the terms of the agreement, DirectCash will acquire Threshold's private label ATM network and payment processing businesses in Canada.  Upon completion of the transaction, Brink's will continue to own and operate Threshold's former integrated managed services business as Brink's Integrated Managed Services (Brink's IMS).  The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and is scheduled to close on or about October 31, is expected to generate a fourth-quarter gain from discontinued operations.

Tom Schievelbein; chairman, president and CEO of Brink's, said:  "From a strategic perspective, this transaction is a win for both Brink's and DirectCash.  We're excited about the results from our initial IMS launch in Europe and committed to investing in additional growth opportunities to serve our global customer base."
