This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 25, 2017  (the “Schedule 13D”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), of The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”).  Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2.                                                         Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to remove John M. Eggemeyer, J. Mikesell Thomas, Mark G. Merlo and John T. Pietrzak as Reporting Persons.  Following the recent establishment of a six-person investment committee by Castle Creek Capital VI LLC (“CCC VI”), the general partner of Castle Creek Capital Partners VI, LP (“Fund VI”), no person other than Fund VI and CCC VI presently has beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of the shares of Common Stock held by Fund VI.

 

Item 3.                                                         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

From August 2018 through June 3, 2020, Fund VI engaged in various open-market, broker acquisitions of additional shares of Common Stock, acquiring an aggregate of 616,135 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $6,039,196.  Such shares were acquired using cash on hand.

 

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 (a) - (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) and (b)

 

Reporting Person		Amount Beneficially Owned (1)		Percent of Class (2)		Sole Power to Vote or Direct the Vote		Shared Power to Vote or Direct the Vote (1)		Sole Power to Dispose or to Direct the Disposition		Shared Power to Dispose or Direct the Disposition (1)
Castle Creek Capital Partners VI, LP		3,642,733		6.3	%	0		3,642,733		0		3,642,733
Castle Creek Capital VI LLC (3)		3,642,733		6.3	%	0		3,642,733		0		3,642,733

 

(1)                                 Excludes (i) 30,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) restricted stock awards representing 13,100 underlying shares of Common Stock, in each case issued to Castle Creek Advisors IV LLC (“Advisors IV”) on behalf of John Eggemeyer, a managing principal of CCC VI, in his capacity as a member of the Board.  Since the Reporting Persons do not presently, and will not within the next 60 days, have the right to acquire Common Stock in respect of such Common Stock and such restricted stock awards held by Advisors IV, those underlying shares are not included in the amount reported herein.

 

(2)                                 This calculation is based on 57,425,566 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of May 5, 2020, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020.

 

(3)                                 CCC VI disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by Fund VI, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

 

(c)

 

Fund VI engaged in the following transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the last sixty days: (i) on June 2, 2020, Fund VI acquired 57,900 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average price per share of $8.41 (in various open-market, broker transactions ranging from $8.33 to $8.45 per share, inclusive); and (ii) on June 3, 2020, Fund VI acquired 8,235 shares of Common Stock at a weighted average price per share of $8.92 (in various open-market, broker transactions ranging from $8.75 to $9.04 per share, inclusive). The Reporting Persons undertake to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this Item 5(c).
