Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
The Company reports the termination of the previously-announced sale of a $36.9 million non-performing loan, which is collateralized by a hotel under construction and a parking lot in Florida. The loan became delinquent in the first quarter of 2018 and the borrower, a development corporation, subsequently declared bankruptcy. Based upon an independent first quarter 2018 appraisal, the loan to value is approximately 80% on an "as-is" basis, with personal guarantees of certain of the borrower's principals.  The Bancorp Bank, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, is pursuing collection and the Company currently believes that there will be no loss of principal.

The information in this Item is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in this Item shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
