WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bancorp, Inc. (“The Bancorp” or the “Company” or “we” or “our”) (NASDAQ: TBBK), a financial holding company, today announced that on March 27, 2025, it received an expected notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the Company is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”).

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Listing Rule, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.

Under the Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 days from the date of the Notice either to file the Annual Report or to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. If a plan is submitted and accepted, the Company could be granted up to 180 calendar days from the Annual Report’s due date to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The Company continues to work diligently to complete the Annual Report.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
