Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

Item 4.01(a)

On May 18, 2012, Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation Pension Plan and the Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation 401(k) Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) dismissed Fischer Cunnane & Associates, Ltd as auditor of the Plans. This change in auditor was approved by the Audit Committee of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation.

The reports of Fischer Cunnane & Associates, Ltd on the Plans’ financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through May 18, 2012, there were no disagreements with Fischer Cunnane & Associates, Ltd on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Fischer Cunnane & Associates, Ltd, would have caused it to make reference thereto in connection with its reports on each of the Plans’ financial statements for such years.

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and through May 18, 2012, there were no reportable events as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of each of the Plans requested that Fischer Cunnane & Associates, Ltd furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated May 22, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

Item 4.01(b)

On May 18, 2012, Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of each of the Plans appointed Mitchell & Titus, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Plans for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of the Plans did not consult with Mitchell & Titus, LLP during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and through May 18, 2012, on any matter that was the subject of any disagreement or any reportable event as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v), respectively, or on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plans’ financial statements, relating to which either a written report was provided to Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of the Plans or oral advice was provided that Mitchell & Titus, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation as Plan Administrator of the Plans in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue.
