Material Changes and Events
The filing reports the termination of a previously announced sale of the $36.9 million non-performing loan. The loan became delinquent in the first quarter of 2018, and the borrower, a development corporation, subsequently declared bankruptcy. Consequently, The Bancorp Bank is pursuing collection efforts directly.
