Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
The Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), will make available and distribute to analysts and prospective investors a slide presentation. The presentation materials include information regarding the Company's operating and growth strategies and financial performance. The presentation materials will also be posted to the Company's website. Pursuant to Regulation FD, the presentation materials are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  

This information, including the exhibit hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 8.01. Other Events

On June 28, 2018 the Company sold the note for the largest loan in its discontinued loan portfolio and received $35.0 million cash compared to a $36.9 million recorded fair value. There will be no financing provided by the Company. As a result of the sale, a $1.9 million loss will be reflected in discontinued operations in the Company’s second quarter financial statements.  The fair value had been based upon a first quarter 2018 appraisal of related collateral which consisted of a Florida hotel under construction and a parking lot. The appraisal indicated an 80% loan to value and the loan also had personal guarantees of certain of the principals. While other dispositions of the loan may have resulted in full recovery of principal, those dispositions would have required considerable additional time. Company management believed that it was prudent to eliminate this credit exposure at the above discount to par.  The above transaction will reduce the $195 million of commercial loan exposure in discontinued operations at March 31, 2018 by approximately 19%.

Factors that can affect future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition" in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect new or changing information or events after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by law.
