PART III - NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) will be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. As disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on March 4, 2025, the Company inappropriately filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) on March 3, 2025. The Company’s independent public accounting firm, Crowe LLP, did not provide final approval to include the audit opinion with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and the consent to the incorporation by reference of the audit report in certain registration statements that was included with the Annual Report filed on March 3, 2025. Further, the Company’s prior independent public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, also did not provide approval to include its audit opinion with respect to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, or its consent to the incorporation by reference of their audit report in certain registration statements, in the Annual Report. The Company is unable to file the Annual Report in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense because it needs to perform and complete additional closing procedures related to accounting for consumer fintech loans in the allowance for credit losses.

 

The Company currently expects to file its Annual Report within the fifteen calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.

There can be no assurance that these forward-looking statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.
