Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 18, 2012, The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and The Bancorp Bank entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., as representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters”), with respect to the offer and sale (the “Offering”) by the Company of 4,000,000 shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $11.00 per Common Share, on the terms set forth therein. As part of the Offering, the Company granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option”).
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, conditions to closing, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain specified types of liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities and to reimburse the Underwriters for certain expenses.
 
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, directors and executive officers of the Company entered into agreements in substantially the form included as an exhibit to the Underwriting Agreement providing for a 90 – day “lock-up” period with respect to sales of specified securities, subject to certain exceptions.
 
On December 21, 2012, the Company issued and sold the Common Shares pursuant to the Offering. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $41.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering was made pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated December 18, 2012 and the accompanying base prospectus dated December 14, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-185226) (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the Commission on December 14, 2012.
