[SCHEDULE 13G] First Citizens BancShares Inc SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 filed for DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (XRAY) discloses that director Brian T. Gladden received 222.26 additional restricted stock units (RSUs) on 07/11/2025. The RSUs represent dividend equivalents credited on previously granted awards and carry the same vesting schedule as the underlying grants. Each RSU will convert to one share of common stock when vested. Following this automatic accrual, the director's total beneficial ownership increased to 28,440.469 shares, all held directly. No open-market purchases, sales, or derivative transactions were reported, and no cash consideration was involved (price recorded as $0). An attorney-in-fact signed the filing on 07/15/2025 under a standing power of attorney.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine RSU dividend credit; negligible ownership change; neutral signal.

The filing shows a mechanical accrual of 222.26 RSUs credited as dividend equivalents to an existing equity award, increasing Mr. Gladden’s holdings by less than 1%. Because the transaction is non-discretionary, involves no cash outlay, and does not alter the director’s economic exposure materially, it is unlikely to influence investor sentiment. Such credits typically occur quarterly and do not provide insight into insider conviction or forthcoming corporate developments. Accordingly, I view the disclosure as informational but not market-moving.
