Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Brink’s Home Security Holdings arising from the Company’s announcement of its intent to be acquired by Tyco International Ltd.

Under the terms of the agreement, Brink’s shareholders may elect to receive for each Brink’s share: (1) $42.50 in cash; (b) a combination of $12.75 in cash and a fraction of a Tyco share equal to $29.75 divided by the volume-weighted average price of Tyco’s stock during the 10-day trading period ending on the fourth full trading day prior to the closing date of the merger; or (c) Tyco shares equal to $42.50 divided by the volume-weighted average price described in (b) above. Thus, the cash and stock transaction is valued at $42.50 per share or
approximately $2.0 billion.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Brink’s shareholders and the process by which the Brink’s Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
