Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 23, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Todd J. Brockman as a director of the Board, effective October 1, 2024, for an initial term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. The Company previously disclosed its plan to reduce the size of the Board from ten (10) to nine (9) directors, effective October 1, 2024, due to director Michael J. Bradley’s notice of retirement and resignation, dated July 19, 2024, to be effective as of September 30, 2024. With Mr. Brockman’s appointment to the Board, the size of the Board will now remain at ten (10) directors as of October 1, 2024.
Mr. Brockman has over 25 years of experience as a senior executive in the payments and financial technology industry. From 2010 to 2023, Mr. Brockman served as SVP, General Manager of Visa DPS, one of the largest issuer processors in the world. In 2021, Mr. Brockman was elevated to SVP, Global Head of Issuing Solutions for Visa Inc. and General Manager of Visa DPS, serving in that capacity until his retirement in July 2023. Mr. Brockman has also held various other leadership roles in the industry, including President of Galileo Processing, Inc. from 2008 to 2010 and Global Head of Prepaid at Visa Inc. from 2001 to 2008. Mr. Brockman holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of California Berkeley and a Master of Business Administration degree from University of California Davis Graduate School of Management.
At this time, Mr. Brockman has not been named to serve on any committee of the Board, and the Board has not identified any committee to which he is expected to be appointed. Mr. Brockman will be entitled to the Company’s standard compensation for non-employee directors, including board fees and eligibility to receive stock-based awards and other compensation paid to directors. There are no family relationships between Mr. Brockman and any director, executive officer or person nominated by the Company to become a director or executive officer, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Brockman and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Brockman was selected as a director, and there are no transactions between Mr. Brockman or any of his immediate family members, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the other, that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K as of this date.
