Item 5.08
|
Shareholder Director Nominations.
|
The Board of Directors of The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) has established December 16, 2015 as the date of the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”) and October 28, 2015 as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2015 Annual Meeting. Because the 2015 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s annual stockholders meeting held in 2014, stockholders of the Company who wish to have a proposal considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or who wish to bring business before the 2015 Annual Meeting outside of Rule 14a-8 or to nominate a person for election as a director must ensure that such proposal is received by the Company’s Secretary at The Bancorp, Inc., 409 Silverside Road, Wilmington, DE 19809 on or before the close of business on October 14, 2015, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Any such proposal or nomination must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting. The October 14, 2015 deadline will also apply in determining whether notice of a stockholder proposal is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies under Rule 14a-4(c) of the Exchange Act.
