Item 1.01
  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 10, 2014, The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bancorp Bank (the “Bank”), entered into separate Sales Agreements (the “Sales Agreements”) with each of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and BTIG, LLC (each, an “Agent” and together, the “Agents”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreements, the Company may offer and sell up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of its shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Shares”), from time to time through one of the Agents, acting as the Company’s agent. Sales of Common Shares, if any, will be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the existing trading market for the Company’s Common Shares, or sales made to or through a market maker.  Each Agent is entitled to a fixed commission of 2.0% of the gross sales price per share for any Common Shares sold through that Agent as the Company’s agent. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreements, each Agent will make all sales on a best efforts basis using commercially reasonable efforts to sell any Common Shares to be offered by the Company under the Sales Agreements.

The offering of Common Shares through this program will be made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-185226) filed on November 30, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), the Prospectus, dated December 14, 2012, filed as part of the Registration Statement, and a prospectus supplement dated July 10, 2014, filed by the Company with the Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of Common Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sales Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each Sales Agreement among the Company, the Bank and each Agent, which are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 1.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Ledgewood, a professional corporation, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of Common Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreements is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 5.1.
