Item 8.01. Other Events

The Bancorp, Inc. (“Company”) is providing further updates on the disposition of certain real estate bridge lending assets.

On January 2, 2025, as a result of the sale of the underlying collateral apartment property located in Plainfield, New Jersey, a $12.3 million classified loan previously reported as non-accrual was repaid at par and accordingly no loss was recognized.

On December 31, 2024, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), closed on the sale of an approximately $82 million real estate bridge loan portfolio, collateralized by apartment buildings. The sale included a $32.5 million classified loan, which was current with respect to monthly payments. The Bank provided financing to a third party purchaser, which provided a 25% payment guaranty.  The leverage and guaranty provided were consistent with market terms, and the Bank’s general underwriting standards, for similar loans.  The resulting weighted average look-through loan to values (“LTVs”), of the related mortgaged properties are no more than 57% as-is and 55% as-stabilized, which is further supported by the 25% payment guaranty. The look-through LTVs are based on the weighted average of LTVs multiplied by the leverage provided by the Bank, based upon appraisals performed within the past 15 months. There was no loss of principal in connection with the sale, although $1.26 million of accrued interest was reversed in connection therewith.  We believe that the sale is an indication of the liquidity of the portfolio, which is further evidenced by LTVs both for the portfolio as a whole and for classified loans, which have been reported in prior filings.
