Structure Of Company Note 1. Structure of Company

The Bancorp, Inc., or (“the Company”), is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company. Its primary subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, or (“the Bank”), which is wholly owned by the Company. The Bank is a Delaware chartered commercial bank located in Wilmington, Delaware and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured institution. The Bank has four primary lines of national specialty lending: securities-backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”) and cash value of insurance-backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”), leasing (direct lease financing), Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and non-SBA commercial real estate (“CRE”) bridge loans (“CRE loans”). Prior to 2020, the Company generated non-SBA CRE bridge loans for sale into capital markets primarily through loan securitizations which issued commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”). In the third quarter of 2020, the Company decided to retain the CMBS loans on its balance sheet and no future securitizations are currently planned. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company resumed originating non-SBA CRE bridge loans (primarily apartment buildings), after suspending the origination of such loans for most of 2020 and the first half of 2021. These originations are classified as real estate bridge loans (“REBL”). Additionally, in 2020, the Company began originating advisor financing loans to investment advisors for debt refinance, acquisition of other advisory firms or internal succession. Through the Bank, the Company also provides payment and deposit services nationally, which includes prepaid and debit cards, private label banking, deposit accounts to investment advisors’ customers, card payment and other payment processing.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s and the Bank’s businesses may be affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.
