Item 8.01 – Other Events.
As previously reported, on July 6, 2022, The Bancorp, Inc. (the
“Company”) received a Wells Notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), stating
that the SEC Staff had made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement
action against the Company alleging violations of record keeping, reporting and internal control provisions of the Exchange Act in connection
with various CMBS securities held by The Bancorp Bank. The Wells Notice was neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination
that the recipient has violated any law. Without admitting or denying any of the SEC’s allegations, the Company agreed
to resolve the investigation by consenting to the entry of an order by the SEC that: (1) the Company will cease and desist from committing
or causing any violations of the books-and-records provisions of the Securities Exchange Act and the relevant rules thereunder; and (2)
the Company will pay a penalty of $1.75 million (the “Settlement Payment”) to the SEC. The order became effective on
August 24, 2022.
The Company will recognize a charge in its third fiscal quarter in the
amount of the Settlement Payment. Further, as a result of the settlement, certain costs to the Company related to the investigation
will cease, including the legal costs of the investigation, compliance with the SEC’s subpoena, and cooperation with the SEC.
