**Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.** 

On January 26, 2023, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") announced its results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. A copy of BancShares' press release containing this information is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Report") and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release is available on BancShares' Internet site at <u>http://www.firstcitizens.com</u>.

**Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, Change in Fiscal Year.**

On January 24, 2023, in connection with the new Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding universal proxy cards and a periodic review of the bylaws of BancShares, the Board of Directors of BancShares (the "Board") adopted and approved amended and restated bylaws (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"), which became effective the same day. Among other things, the Amended and Restated Bylaws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhance the procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with shareholder nominations of directors and business proposals made in connection with annual meetings of shareholders by, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ requiring a shareholder delivering a nomination notice to comply with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ providing that, unless otherwise required by law, if a shareholder provides notice under Rule 14a-19 and subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 or fails to provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy BancShares that the requirements of Rule 14a-19 have been met, then BancShares shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for any nominee proposed by such shareholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• clarify that meetings of shareholders and meetings of the Board may be held by means of remote communication in addition to, or instead of, a physical meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• eliminate the requirement that directors own at least 100 shares of BancShares' Class A common stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make various other updates, including technical, ministerial and conforming changes related to recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

As previously announced, BancShares will host a conference call at 9:00a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, January 26, 2023, to discuss its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The slides that will be made available in connection with the presentation are attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01. Other Events.**

On January 24 2023, the Board adopted an amended and restated director retirement policy pursuant to which no person will be eligible to stand for election to the Board at any shareholder meeting following the calendar year in which he or she reaches age 75. Under the Board's previous director retirement policy, directors were subject to mandatory retirement effective on December 31 of the year during which they reached 75.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information presented herein pursuant to Item 2.02, "Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and Item 7.01, "Regulation FD Disclosure," including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), nor shall the information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Disclosures About Forward-Looking Statements**

This Report may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and future performance of BancShares. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "predicts," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "targets," "designed," "could," "may," "should," "will," "potential," "continue," "aims" or other similar words and expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on BancShares' current expectations and assumptions regarding BancShares' business, the economy, and other future conditions.

Because forward-looking statements relate to future results and occurrences, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other factors that are difficult to predict. Many possible events or factors could affect BancShares' future financial results and performance and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of BancShares to differ materially from any anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, general competitive, economic, political, geopolitical events (including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and market conditions, the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic on BancShares' business, and customers, the financial success or changing conditions or strategies of BancShares' customers or vendors, fluctuations in interest rates, actions of government regulators, including the recent and projected interest rate hikes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (the "Federal Reserve"), the potential impact of decisions by the Federal Reserve on BancShares' capital plans, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions, including the significant turbulence in the capital or financial markets, the impact of the current inflationary environment, the impact of implementation and compliance with current or proposed laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations, the availability of capital and personnel, the timing and authorization of any future repurchases of our Class A common stock under potential share repurchase programs and the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of BancShares' previous acquisition transaction(s), including the recently-completed transaction with CIT Group Inc., which acquisition risks include (1) disruption from the transaction, or recently completed mergers, with customer, supplier or employee relationships, (2) the possibility that the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the transaction may be greater than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected or unknown factors, events or liabilities, (3) reputational risk and the reaction of the parties' customers to the transaction, (4) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the transaction may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to be realized, and (5) difficulties experienced in the integration of the businesses. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, BancShares disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments. Additional factors which could affect the forward-looking statements can be found in BancShares' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS**

**OF**

**FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.**

(As last amended and restated January 24, 2023)

**ARTICLE I**

**<u>Offices</u>**

Section 1. <u>Principal Office</u>: The principal office of the corporation shall be located in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina.

Section 2. <u>Registered Offices</u>: The registered office of the corporation required by law to be maintained in the State of Delaware shall be located in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, or such other location as may be designated by the Board of Directors. The registered office of the corporation required by law to be maintained in the State of North Carolina may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office.

Section 3. <u>Other Offices</u>: The corporation may have offices at such other places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors from time to time may determine, or as the affairs of the corporation may require.

**ARTICLE II**

**<u>Meetings of Shareholders</u>**

Section 1. <u>Place of Meetings</u>: All meetings of shareholders shall be held at such places within or outside the State of Delaware as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of shareholders shall, in addition to or instead of a physical meeting, be held by means of remote communication (including virtually) as provided under Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL").

Section 2. <u>Annual Meetings</u>: The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held at the designated location on such date during the first six months of each year as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if a Chief Executive Officer shall have been designated by the Board of Directors), or the President. The purpose of such annual meeting shall be to elect directors of the corporation and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of shareholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. <u>Special Meetings</u>: Subject to the limited rights contained in any certificate of designations of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the corporation, special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if a Chief Executive Officer shall have been designated by the Board of Directors), the President, or the Secretary, and shall be called by any of them at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors. Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

Business transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to the purpose stated in the notice.

Section 4. <u>Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice; Adjournments</u>: Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place (or the means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and to vote at such meeting), date and time of the meeting and the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting). Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation of the corporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at such shareholder's address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be effectively given to shareholders, any notice to shareholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all shareholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the "householding" rules set forth in Rule 14a-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Section 233 of the DGCL.

In the case of an annual meeting, the notice of meeting need not specifically state the business to be transacted thereat unless such a statement is expressly required by the provisions of the DGCL.

In the case of a special meeting, the notice of meeting shall specifically state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. In the case of a special meeting called by the written request of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, the notice also shall state that the meeting is being called upon such written request.

Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place (including due to a technical failure to convene or continue the meeting by remote communication). At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place thereof (and, to the extent applicable, the means of remote communication for the meeting) are announced at the meeting, displayed during the time scheduled for the meeting on the electronic network used for the virtual meeting, or set forth in the notice of the meeting; provided that (a) the adjournment is for less than thirty (30) days, and (b) the record date for the meeting is not changed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned

meeting to each shareholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

A shareholder may waive any notice required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. Attendance of a shareholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 5. <u>Voting Lists</u>: The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the shareholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each shareholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine the list of shareholders required by this Section 5 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders.

Section 6. <u>Quorum</u>: The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or by the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 7. <u>Proxies</u>: Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. All proxies shall be authorized by written instrument, signed by the shareholder or by his or her attorney-in-fact, or by electronic transmission as permitted by law. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date of execution, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The corporation may treat any duly executed proxy as not revoked and in full force and effect until it receives a duly executed instrument revoking it, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

Section 8. <u>Voting of Shares</u>: Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to the provisions of the DGCL, each shareholder shall at every meeting of shareholders be entitled to one vote for each share of issued and outstanding capital stock held by such shareholder. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any share on any matter, any reference in these Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock.

When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one which by express provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the corporation or its securities a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9. <u>Written Consent by Shareholders</u>: Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of shareholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.

Section 10. <u>Presiding Officer</u>: The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of shareholders. If the Chairman of the Board is absent or unable or unwilling to preside, the succession order for the presiding officer for purposes of these Bylaws shall be: the Vice Chairmen of the Board in order of seniority, the Chief Executive Officer (if a Chief Executive Officer shall have been designated by the Board of Directors), the President, and the Secretary. If neither the Chairman of the Board nor any of the other listed officers is present and able and willing to preside, the shareholders may elect a chairman to preside over the meeting.

Section 11. <u>Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) <u>Annual Meetings of Shareholders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders only (a) pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized

committee thereof, or (c) by any shareholder of the corporation who (i) is a shareholder of record of the corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 11(A) is delivered to the Secretary of the corporation, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 11(A).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) For any nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (A)(1) of this Section 11, the shareholder must have (a) given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation and any such proposed business must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action and (b) complied in all respects with the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 14a-19 (as such rule and regulations may be amended from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including any SEC Staff interpretations relating thereto). To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 45th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary of the date that proxy statements were first mailed to the corporation's shareholders in conjunction with the preceding year's annual meeting (as stated in the corporation's proxy materials); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than seventy days after the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above.

Such shareholder's notice shall set forth:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required to be disclosed, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; (ii) information relevant to a determination of whether the proposed nominee can be considered an independent director under the listing standards of each principal U.S. exchange upon which the common stock of the corporation is listed, any applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board of Directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the corporation's directors; (iii) the written consent of each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate to (1) being named in any proxy statement as a nominee and any associated proxy card, and (2) serving as a director if elected; and (iv) a written and signed statement that such person (1) is not and will not become a party to (y) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a "Voting Commitment") that has not been disclosed to the corporation or (z) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person's ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such person's fiduciary duties under applicable law, (2) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other

Upon request by the corporation, if any shareholder or Shareholder Related Person provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such shareholder or Shareholder Related Person shall deliver to the corporation, no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable meeting date, reasonable evidence that the shareholder or Shareholder Related Person has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The requirements of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 11 shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder, with respect to business other than a nomination, if the shareholder has notified the corporation of his, her, or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such shareholder's proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 11 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting is increased effective after the time period for which notices of nominations would otherwise be due under paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 11 and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a shareholder's notice required by this Section 11(A) regarding the nomination of persons for election as directors also shall be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) <u>Special Meetings of Shareholders</u>. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting. If, as determined by the Board of Directors, the corporation's

notice of meeting indicates that directors shall be elected at a special meeting, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at that meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof or (2) by any shareholder of the corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 11(B) is delivered to the Secretary of the corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 11(B). In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such shareholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to fill the directorships to be voted upon at the meeting, as specified in the corporation's notice of meeting, if a written notice in the form and containing the information required by paragraph (A)(2) of this Section 11 shall be delivered by the shareholder to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) <u>General</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Except as otherwise expressly provided in any applicable rule or regulation promulgated under the Exchange Act, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11 shall be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation to serve as directors, and only such business shall be considered, transacted or voted upon at a meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11. Except as otherwise provided by law, the presiding officer or chairman of the meeting (as determined as provided in Section 10 of this Article II) shall have the power and duty (a) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11, and (b) if any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 11, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be considered, transacted or voted upon. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, unless otherwise required by law, if the shareholder (or a qualified representative of the shareholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of the corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be considered, transacted or voted upon, notwithstanding that a written notice of such nomination or proposed business has been received by the corporation in accordance with this Section 11 or that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation. For purposes of this Section 11, to be considered a qualified representative of the shareholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such shareholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) For purposes of this Section 11, and with respect to any annual or special meeting of shareholders, "public announcement" shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other national news service or in a document (including without limitation a Current Report on Form 8-K) publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 11; provided however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 11 (including paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (B) hereof), and compliance with paragraphs (A)(1)(c) and (B) of this Section 11 shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than, as provided in the first sentence of (A)(3), business other than nominations brought properly under and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as it may be amended from time to time). Nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders (a) to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, or (b) of the holders of any series of preferred stock that may be issued from time to time to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 12. <u>Conduct of Meetings</u>: The time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the shareholders will vote at an annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be announced at the meeting by the presiding officer or chairman of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of a meeting of shareholders, or of meetings of shareholders in general, as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as are adopted by the Board of Directors, the presiding officer or chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall have the right and authority to convene and for any or no reason to adjourn and/or recess the meeting and to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures, and take all such other actions, as in his or her judgment are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the presiding officer or chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to shareholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies, or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The presiding officer or chairman at any meeting of shareholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business (including without limitation the nomination of a person for election as a director) was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws and if such presiding officer or chairman should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business (including any nomination) not properly brought before or made at the meeting shall not be considered, transacted or voted

upon. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the presiding officer or chairman of the meeting, meetings of shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

**<u>Stock and Stock Transfer</u>**

Section 1. <u>Certificates of Stock</u>: Stock of the corporation may be issued, registered and held with or without certificates to represent such stock. The Board of Directors by resolution or resolutions may provide that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock shall be uncertificated shares. If stock is represented by certificates, the certificates shall be issued in such form as the Board of Directors shall determine. Such stock certificates shall indicate thereon a reference to any and all restrictive conditions of said stock. These certificates shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, or a Vice Chairman of the Board, or the President, or any Vice President and the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or may have facsimile signatures of such officers placed thereon and such officers shall have the power to make or order to be made by an authorized officer or transfer agent any and all transfers of the securities of the corporation. Stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified; and the name and address of the persons to whom they are issued, with the number of shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Where stock is not represented by certificates, the name and address of the persons to whom they are registered, with the number of shares and the date of registration, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the corporation; and within a reasonable time after the registration of such stock, the corporation shall send the shareholder to whom such stock has been registered a written statement of the information otherwise required by law to be on a certificate evidencing those shares.

Section 2. <u>Transfer of Stock</u>: Transfers of stock shall be made on the stock transfer books of the corporation upon surrender of the certificates for the shares sought to be transferred by the registered holder thereof or by his duly authorized agent, transferee or legal representative or, in the case of uncertificated shares, upon the written request of such persons in such form and with such documentation as the Board may establish. All certificates surrendered for transfer shall be cancelled before new certificates for the transferred shares shall be issued, or before any shares shall be registered to the current or a subsequent holder without certificate. Upon surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of a certificate for shares, or in the case of an uncertificated share upon delivery of written request together with any required information or documentation, which is duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation or its transfer agent to issue a new certificate or, upon appropriate request, to register uncertificated shares to the person entitled thereto, to cancel any old certificate and to record the transaction upon its books. The corporation shall maintain, or cause one or more stock transfer agents to maintain, stock transfer records containing the

name and address of each shareholder of record and the number of shares and class or series of stock held by each such shareholder.

Section 3. <u>Fixing Record Date</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a) at the adjourned meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining shareholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 4. <u>Lost Certificates</u>: The Board of Directors may authorize and direct the issuance of a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors in its discretion may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

Section 5. <u>Registered Shareholders</u>: The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice hereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

Section 6. <u>Treasury Shares</u>: Treasury shares of the corporation shall consist of such shares as have been issued and thereafter acquired but not retired by the corporation.

Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 2. <u>Seal</u>: The corporate seal of the corporation shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and the words "Corporate Seal, Delaware". The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

Section 3. <u>Notice and Waiver of Notice</u>: Whenever any notice is required to be given to any shareholder or director under the provisions of the DGCL or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of this corporation, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail, addressed to such director or shareholder, at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. Notice to directors, and to shareholders to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law, may also be given by telegram, telephone, telecopier or other electronic transmission.

Whenever notice is required to be given under the provisions of the DGCL or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing or by electronic transmission, signed or given by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

The attendance by a director at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

The attendance by a shareholder at a meeting of shareholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 6. <u>Indemnification</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *Right to Indemnification*. The corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (a "Covered Person") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, or employee of the corporation or, while a director, officer, or employee of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, taxes, including ERISA excise taxes, or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Covered Person, and such indemnification shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inure to the benefit or his or her heirs, executors, and administrators. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6(c), the corporation shall be required to indemnify a Covered Person in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Covered Person only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Covered Person was authorized in the specific case by the Board of Directors of the corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Advancement of Expenses*. The corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Covered Person in

defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6 or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *Claims*. If a claim for indemnification under this Section 6 (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty days after the corporation has received a claim therefor by the Covered Person, or, subject to subsection 6(b), if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this Section 6 is not paid in full within thirty days after the corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the Covered Person shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the Covered Person shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) *Non-exclusivity of Rights*. The rights conferred on any Covered Person by this Section 6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Covered Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) *Other Sources*. The corporation's obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Covered Person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Covered Person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) *Amendment or Repeal*. Any right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses of any Covered Person arising hereunder shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal of these Bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) *Other Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses*. This Section 6 shall not limit the right of the corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Covered Persons when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

Section 7. <u>Exclusive Forum for Certain Disputes</u>: Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a duty owed by any director, officer, other employee or shareholder of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation's shareholders, (3) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of

Chancery of the State of Delaware, and (4) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 7.

("BancShares") (NASDAQ: FCNCA) reported earnings for the fourth quarter and year-to-date period ended December 31, 2022. Chairman and CEO Frank B. Holding, Jr. commented on the financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022: "First Citizens delivered solid financial results in 2022 marked by strong top line growth, low credit losses and well controlled expenses. Since the completion of our merger with CIT on January 3, 2022, we have successfully integrated our two companies and are now focused on capitalizing on opportunities to create positive operating leverage by growing revenues and optimizing our operations. We continued to execute on our capital strategy in the fourth quarter, completing our stock repurchase plan while still exceeding our CET 1 target. Looking ahead, we believe that we will have the ability to resume share buybacks in the second half of this year. We have also remained diligent in positioning ourselves to meet the regulatory requirements of a new large financial institution." Holding added: "We are pleased with the performance of our lines of business during the year, achieving robust loan growth in the General Bank and in Industry Verticals and Business Capital within the Commercial Bank. Despite a challenging environment for deposits driven by unprecedented quantitative tightening, we experienced modest growth in noninterest checking accounts and only experienced a slight decline in deposits during the year. During the fourth quarter, deposits grew at an annualized rate of 8.4% driven by growth in our Direct Bank." Holding concluded: "While we acknowledge concerns in the broader economy, and although we experienced an increase in nonaccrual loans during the fourth quarter, overall credit quality remains strong, and we are not seeing signs of significant loan portfolio deterioration. We enter 2023 with solid capital and liquidity positions and we believe that we are well positioned to continue to build customer relationships and grow our balance sheet profitably. And last but not least, I want to thank all of our associates for working so hard in 2022 on merger integration and to support our stockholders, customers and communities." FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS For the fourth quarter, net income available to common stockholders was $243 million, or $16.67 per diluted common share, compared to $303 million, or $19.25 per diluted common share in the third quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter results were impacted by the strategic decision to exit $1.2 billion of Bank Owned Life Insurance policies. The surrender of the policies resulted in a tax charge of $55 million. Favorable market conditions prompted us to exit this long-term, illiquid asset and, as we receive proceeds from the surrender, it increases our capital and liquidity positions while at the same time allowing us to invest in highly liquid assets at higher yields. During the fourth quarter, we repurchased 472,586 shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $398 million. For the year, we repurchased 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $1.2 billion. 1

Fourth quarter adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $306 million, or $20.94 per diluted common share, as compared to $326 million, or $20.77 per diluted common share in the third quarter. The following bullets highlight significant changes in the components of net income and adjusted net income between the third and fourth quarters (see the supporting tables for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income): Net interest income - Reported • Net interest income totaled $802 million compared to $795 million in the third quarter. The $7 million increase was primarily due to a higher yield on earning assets and loan growth, partially offset by higher funding costs and average balances. • Net interest margin was 3.36%, a decrease of 4 basis points compared to the third quarter. The yield on earning assets increased by 49 basis points while the cost of funding them increased by 53 basis points. The cost of funding earning assets increased due to higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings as well as a mix shift between noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits. Noninterest income and expense - Reported • Noninterest income totaled $429 million compared to $433 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $4 million. Rental income on operating lease equipment increased $5 million on a gross basis driven by continued improvement in utilization and a higher lease rate. Noninterest income from fee generating lines of business including service charges on deposit accounts, factoring and insurance commissions, card services and fee income and other service charges increased $8 million. Other noninterest income declined by $17 million, spread among various accounts. • Noninterest expense totaled $760 million for both the third and fourth quarters. While the total was unchanged over the prior quarter, there was a $6 million increase in marketing costs related to the Direct Bank and a $3 million increase in net occupancy expense due to increased repairs and utilities costs. These were offset by a $4 million decline in maintenance and depreciation expense on operating lease equipment, a $4 million decline in merger-related expenses and a $1 million decline in other operating expenses spread among various accounts. Noninterest income and expense - Adjusted • Adjusted noninterest income totaled $290 million compared to $288 million in the third quarter, an increase of $2 million. The combination of higher rental income discussed above and a $4 million decline in depreciation and maintenance expense on operating lease equipment resulted in a $9 million increase in adjusted rental income on operating lease equipment. Noninterest income from fee generating lines of business including service charges on deposit accounts, factoring and insurance commissions, card services and fee income and other service charges increased $8 million. Other noninterest income declined by $15 million, spread among various accounts. • Adjusted noninterest expense totaled $590 million compared to $577 million in the third quarter, an increase of $13 million primarily due to the $6 million increase in marketing costs related to the Direct Bank, the $3 million increase in net occupancy expense noted above and a $4 million increase in other operating expenses spread among various accounts. Credit • Provision for credit losses totaled $79 million compared to $60 million in the third quarter, an increase of $19 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net charge-offs and a reserve build in the quarter. The increase in allowance for credit losses over the prior quarter was due to changes in reserves on individually evaluated loans, loan growth and continued deterioration in the economic outlook, partially offset by a change in portfolio mix. • Net charge-offs totaled $24 million or a ratio of 0.14% of average loans, compared to $18 million or a ratio of 0.10% of average loans during the third quarter. 2

------

![](earningsrelease-finalful003.jpg)

• Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans increased this quarter to 0.89% from 0.65%. The increase in nonaccrual loans was driven primarily by our non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio and more specifically related to general office exposure in the Commercial Bank segment. Balance Sheet • Loans totaled $70.8 billion, an increase of $1.0 billion, or 5.6% on an annualized basis due to strong growth in our branch network, Mortgage and Business Capital, partially offset by declines in Commercial Services and Real Estate Finance. • Deposits totaled $89.4 billion, an increase of $1.9 billion, or 8.4% on an annualized basis. Interest-bearing deposits increased $3.5 billion driven primarily by the $2.5 billion of growth in the Direct Bank and the addition of $0.7 billion in brokered deposits. • Borrowings decreased $1.7 billion during the quarter, replaced by interest-bearing deposits to support our asset growth.

BancShares believes that Non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial information, can provide transparency about or an alternative means of assessing its operating results and financial position to its investors, analysts and management. Non-GAAP measures should be considered a supplement to, and not a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the Non-GAAP reconciliation table(s) at the end of this earnings release, and notable items are summarized in a separate table. 4

Management utilizes both GAAP and adjusted measures (non-GAAP) to analyze the Company's performance. Refer to the Non-GAAP reconciliation table(s) at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. (2) Depreciation and maintenance and other operating lease expenses are reclassified from noninterest expense to a reduction of rental income on operating lease equipment. There is no net impact to earnings for this notable item as adjusted noninterest income and expense are reduced by the same amount. Adjusted rental income on operating lease equipment (non-GAAP) is net of depreciation and maintenance expense for operating lease equipment. Management believes this measure enhances comparability to banking peers, primarily due to the extent of our rail and other equipment rental activities. Refer to the Non-GAAP reconciliation table(s) at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. (3) Primarily includes the following: 3Q22- contract settlement with a rail customer; YTD22- contract settlement with rail customer and gain on sale of other assets. (4) Primarily includes the following: 3Q22- impairment of a call center facility; YTD22- impairment of a call center facility and termination of two post retirement benefit plans. (5) Includes $55 million of tax expense related to the early surrender of BOLI policies. During 4Q22, management decided to early surrender $1.2 billion of BOLI policies. This triggered a taxable gain of $160 million and resulted in tax expense of $55 million. (6) The income tax impact includes tax discrete items and changes in the estimated annualized effective tax rate. 8

Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "predicts," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "targets," "designed," "could," "may," "should," "will," "potential," "continue", "aims" or other similar words and expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on BancShares' current expectations and assumptions regarding BancShares' business, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to future results and occurrences, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances and other risk factors that are difficult to predict. Many possible events or factors could affect BancShares' future financial results and performance and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of BancShares to differ materially from any anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, general competitive, economic, political, geopolitical events (including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine) and market conditions, the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic on BancShares' business and customers, the financial success or changing conditions or strategies of BancShares' customers or vendors, fluctuations in interest rates, actions of government regulators, including the recent and projected interest rate hikes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (the "Federal Reserve"), the potential impact of decisions by the Federal Reserve on BancShares' capital plans, adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions, including the significant turbulence in the capital or financial markets, the impact of the current inflationary environment, the impact of implementation and compliance with current or proposed laws, regulations and regulatory interpretations, the availability of capital and personnel, the timing and authorization of any future repurchases of our Class A common under potential share repurchase programs and the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of BancShares' previous acquisition transaction(s), including the recently completed transaction with CIT Group Inc. ("CIT"), which acquisition risks include (1) disruption from the transaction, or recently completed mergers, with customer, supplier or employee relationships, (2) the possibility that the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the transaction may be greater than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected or unknown factors, events or liabilities, (3) reputational risk and the reaction of the parties' customers to the transaction, (4) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the transaction may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to be realized, and (5) difficulties experienced in the integration of the businesses.

BancShares believes that Non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial information, can provide transparency about or an alternative means of assessing its operating results and financial position to its investors, analysts and management. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. BancShares completed the acquisition of CIT on January 3, 2022 (the "CIT Merger"). BancShares' financial information presented for the periods ended December 31, 2022 reflects the acquisition of CIT.

2022 Accomplishments and 2023 Strategic Objectives Section I

------

![](a4q22investorpresentatio005.jpg)

5 First Citizens 2022 Accomplishments 2022 was a highly successful year driven by our complementary merger with CIT that positioned us well for continued growth given our diverse products, services and markets. Integrated CIT • Merger integration is substantially complete. • Focused on capitalizing on opportunities to create positive operating leverage by growing revenues and optimizing operations. • Achieved ~$200 million in cost savings in 2022 and expect to recognize the remaining ~$50 million of targeted cost savings in 2023. • Repurchased 1.5 million Class A common shares for $1.2 billion during the third and fourth quarters. • Repurchase estimated to be ~10% accretive to 2023 EPS with TBV earnback period of ~3 years. Distributed capital Focused on our customers Upheld our risk culture Produced strong operating leverage • Adjusted pre-provision net revenue was up $557 million, or by 45.5% over 2021. • Net interest margin expanded driven by strong loan growth and a higher yield on earning assets. • Full year operating leverage was 14.7%. • Our adjusted efficiency ratio declined from 64.3% in 2021 to 56.4% in 2022. Our fourth quarter ratio was 54.1%. • Credit quality remains strong despite economic uncertainty. • Risk management practices continue to evolve to position us to meet the requirements of the large financial institution framework. • Loans grew by $5.6 billion, or 8.5%, driven by solid performance in both the General and Commercial banks. • Despite a challenging environment for deposits driven by unprecedented quantitative tightening, we experienced modest growth in noninterest-bearing accounts and only a slight decline in total deposits. Note – Pre-provision net revenue, operating leverage and efficiency ratio are adjusted (Non-GAAP). Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Changes between periods are calculated as if BancShares and CIT were combined on January 1, 2021. The Combined measures are Non-GAAP. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of the Combined (Non-GAAP) to BancShares (GAAP) measures. For the BancShares 2021 reported data, refer to page 33-35 of the Appendix

The change was primarily due to declines in other noninterest income (spread among various accounts), partially offset by higher rental income on operating leases, factoring commissions, service charges on deposit accounts and insurance commissions. • Noninterest expense was unchanged. Marketing costs related to the Direct Bank increased, but were offset by a net decline in other operating expenses. • Provision for credit losses increased by $19 million primarily due to changes in reserves on individually evaluated loans, an increase in net charge-offs, loan growth and deterioration in the economic outlook, partially offset by a change in portfolio mix. • Income tax expense includes a $55 million charge related to the strategic surrender of $1.2 billion in BOLI policies. (1) 4Q22 vs. 4Q21 • Net interest income increased by $183 million primarily due to a higher yield on earning assets and loan growth, partially offset by higher funding costs. • Noninterest income declined by $35 million primarily due to lower other income (spread among various accounts), lower gains on asset and loan sales, factoring commissions and service charges on deposits, partially offset by higher rental income on operating leases, other fee income and cardholder services income. • Noninterest expense increased $51 million primarily due to higher personnel, merger and marketing expenses, partially offset by lower professional fees and FDIC insurance expense. • Provision for credit losses increased by $157 million due to a net provision build in 2022 versus a net provision benefit in 2021.

Management utilizes both GAAP and adjusted measures (non-GAAP) to analyze the Company's performance. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. (2) Depreciation and maintenance and other operating lease expenses are reclassified from noninterest expense to a reduction of rental income on operating lease equipment. There is no net impact to earnings for this notable item as adjusted noninterest income and expense are reduced by the same amount. Adjusted rental income on operating lease equipment (non- GAAP) is net of depreciation and maintenance expense for operating lease equipment. Management believes this measure enhances comparability to banking peers, primarily due to the extent of our rail and other equipment rental activities. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. (3) Primarily includes the following: 3Q22- contract settlement with a rail customer; YTD22- contract settlement with rail customer and gain on sale of other assets; 2021 periods- legacy CIT notables related to the non-GAAP Combined results of operations.

(5) Includes $55 million of tax expense related to the early surrender of BOLI policies. During 4Q22, management decided to early surrender $1.2 billion of BOLI policies. This triggered a taxable gain of $160 million and resulted in tax expense of $55 million. (6) For the non-GAAP Combined periods of 2021, a blended tax rate was applied to each period to arrive at the adjusted net income. For 2022 periods the income tax impact includes tax discrete items and changes in the estimated annualized effective tax rate.

15 4Q22 Interest Rate Sensitivity Note – The above information is an illustrative example of changes in net interest income and net interest margin using a static balance sheet and forward swap curves in place as of the end of December. Actual results may differ from above. (1) Impacts to NII and NIM may change due to actual results being different than modeled expectations. Highlights • BancShares continues to have an asset sensitive interest rate risk profile. • The projected increase in net interest income over the next 12 months is 3.4% for an immediate 100 bps parallel shift (shock) in the yield curve and 1.5% for a gradual shift (ramp) of 100 bps. • Asset sensitivity is largely driven by the composition of the balance sheet, primarily due to floating rate loans and cash, as well as a strong core deposit base with modest betas. • Deposit betas are modeled at approximately 25%. • Approximately 45% of our loans are floating indexed primarily to 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR, Prime and SOFR. • The duration of our investment portfolio is ~4.3 years and helps to mitigate earnings risk in a down rate environment.

27 Highlights 4Q22 vs 3Q22 • Total ACL increased $40 million compared to the linked quarter. • Factors contributing to the increase in the ACL were an increase in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans, portfolio growth and deterioration in the CECL macroeconomic outlook. • These were partially offset by a decline related to portfolio mix due to a shift to portfolios with lower reserve rates. • The ACL provided 9.3 times coverage of annualized quarterly net charge- offs. $882 $12 $29 $922 3Q22 Portfolio mix Economic outlook Loan growth Change in specific reserves 4Q22 ACL / Net charge-offs 32.4x 14.4x 9.4x 12.9x 9.3x ACL / NCO ratio 4Q21 1Q22 2Q22 3Q22 4Q22 3Q22 to 4Q22 Note – The financial ratios provided on this slide are presented as if BancShares and CIT were combined for the 2021 historical period.

(2) Adjusted noninterest expense excludes depreciation and maintenance on operating lease assets, merger-related expenses and amortization of intangibles. Note - Management does not provide a reconciliation for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the occurrence and the financial impact of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of BancShares' control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, management is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

40 Highlights • The Commercial Banking segment saw a slight decline in loan balances as Commercial Services (factoring) balances declined $448 million compared to the linked quarter due to seasonal declines from the third quarter high mark. This decline was partially offset by Business Capital which increased loans $193 million (15% annualized). • Commercial Services (factoring) volume totaled $6.5 billion, which was a decrease of approximately $300 million from the prior quarter as a result of seasonal changes and slowed customer orders resulting from the macroeconomic environment. • Business Capital had another strong quarter of growth. Outlook remains solid, but we expect flattening compared to the prior year given macroeconomic factors and sustained inflation. • Credit quality does not show any meaningful signs of deterioration outside of a few pockets in Business Capital and Real Estate Finance. Total net charge-offs increased to 32 bps, up from 24 bps in the third quarter. Note – The Commercial Banking segment includes Commercial Finance, Real Estate Finance and Business Capital.

41 Highlights • The General Banking segment had strong loan growth over the prior quarter (15% annualized) driven primarily by business & commercial loan growth in the branch network and growth in Mortgage due to both strong loan production and slowing prepay speeds on existing balances. • Deposits increased by $1.7 billion compared to the third quarter, primarily driven by increases in the Direct Bank ($2.5 billion, 72% annualized). • Net interest income increased $52 million, or by 10%, compared to the linked quarter due to positive loan growth in the quarter and increases to funding credit in the deposit portfolios. • Credit quality remains strong, with no apparent stresses on the portfolio. • We continue to place an emphasis on strengthening digital capabilities and refining our branch network to ensure sales strategies align with client preferences regarding channel selection and declines in transactional activity.

42 Highlights • Fleet utilization increased to 97.7% in the fourth quarter from 96.2% in the linked quarter. Utilization represents the highest level since 4Q18. • In the fourth quarter, the renewal re-pricing rate was 130% of the prior rate driven by broad-based strength across the portfolio. • Net revenue on operating leases increased by $6 million due to higher rental income and lower maintenance plus depreciation expenses. • Short-term outlook continues to be positive but is mixed across commodity markets. Overall, any further improvement in conditions will likely be limited and/or uneven as velocity improves and/or economic softness seeps into the carload markets. • The Rail portfolio is driven by the industrial sector business cycle, and financial performance generally lags the economic cycle.

Management utilizes both GAAP and adjusted measures (non-GAAP) to analyze the Company's performance. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. (2) Depreciation and maintenance and other operating lease expenses are reclassified from noninterest expense to a reduction of rental income on operating lease equipment. There is no net impact to earnings for this notable item as adjusted noninterest income and expense are reduced by the same amount. Adjusted rental income on operating lease equipment (non- GAAP) is net of depreciation and maintenance expense for operating lease equipment. Management believes this measure enhances comparability to banking peers, primarily due to the extent of our rail and other equipment rental activities. Refer to Section V of this presentation for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. (3) Primarily includes the following: 3Q22- contract settlement with a rail customer; YTD22- contract settlement with rail customer and gain on sale of other assets; 2021 periods- legacy CIT notables related to the non-GAAP Combined results of operations. (4) Primarily includes the following: 3Q22- impairment of a bank owned facility; YTD22- impairment of a bank owned facility and termination of two post retirement benefit plans; 2021 periods- legacy CIT notables related to the non-GAAP Combined results of operations. (5) Includes $55 million of tax expense related to the early surrender of BOLI policies. During 4Q22, management decided to early surrender $1.2 billion of BOLI policies. This triggered a taxable gain of $160 million and resulted in tax expense of $55 million. (6) For the non-GAAP Combined periods of 2021, a blended tax rate was applied to each period to arrive at the adjusted net income. For 2022 periods the income tax impact includes tax discrete items and changes in the estimated annualized effective tax rate. (7) The non-GAAP Combined EPS impact for 2021 periods is not shown given different share totals for each legacy institution.
