Shareholders of Brink's Co. and NCR Atleos voted to approve the companies' proposed deal that would combine the operators of automated teller machines.
The companies said Tuesday their shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the deal, under which Brink's would acquire NCR Atleos for about $4 billion in cash and stock.
The deal, which was announced in February, includes 13.3 million shares of Brink's common stock and $2.2 billion in cash, plus the assumption of about $2.6 billion of NCR Atleos's debt.
The transaction has also received clearance under an antitrust law, the companies said. They expect the deal to close by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to remaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Brink's said the deal would boost its presence in ATM managed services and digital retail solutions, allowing it to offer a broader set of offerings.
Both companies operate a wide footprint of ATMs around the globe. Brink's is also known for securely transporting cash, as well as stocking it into ATMs through their ubiquitous Brink's trucks.
