Event Summary

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against ServBanc Holdco, Inc., as successor to The Bancorp, Inc., the members of The Bancorp's board of directors, and ServBank, National Association. The lawsuit alleges violations of federal securities laws, claiming that a materially false and misleading proxy statement was issued in connection with the merger of The Bancorp into ServBanc Holdco, Inc. This statement allegedly overstated the merger consideration, failed to disclose the unlikelihood of meeting tangible common equity thresholds for special dividends, and misled shareholders about the true value of their shares, which were expected to be reduced to approximately $26.40 per share. Shareholders who held shares as of February 3, 2026, have until June 29, 2026, to request to be appointed as lead plaintiff.
