 Questions About the Virtual Annual Meeting as present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournments. If you are a record holder and you return a valid proxy card, appoint the Proxies by telephone or Internet, or participate in the meeting remotely, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain or instruct the Proxies to abstain from voting on one or more matters voted on. Broker “non-votes”also will be counted as present in determining whether there is a quorum. Broker non-voteswill occur if your shares are held by a broker and are voted by the broker on one or more “routine” matters at the meeting on which the broker has discretionary voting authority, but are not voted by the broker on a “non-routine”matter because the broker does not have discretionary voting authority with respect to that particular matter and you have not given the broker voting instructions on that matter. If your shares are represented at the meeting with respect to any matter voted on, they will be treated as present with respect to all matters voted on, even if they are not voted on all matters.

| Q: | Could the Annual Meeting be adjourned? |

| A: | If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, or for other reasons, the meeting may be adjourned to a different date, time, or place. If an announcement is made during the meeting of the date, time, and place for the adjourned meeting, no further notice of the adjourned meeting will be given unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or the Record Date is changed. |

In the unlikely event that, for any reason, we are not able to convene the Annual Meeting, or if, after being convened, the meeting is interrupted and cannot be continued, including due to loss of internet connectivity or communications capabilities, power failure, or other technical difficulties, the meeting will be adjourned. If a verbal or written announcement of a later date and time for reconvening the meeting is made during the meeting or on the meeting website during the scheduled time for the meeting, the meeting will be reconvened on that date and at that time in a virtual meeting format at the same web address listed above (www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FCNCA2025). If such a notice is given, no further notice of the date and time of the reconvened meeting will be required unless
