First Citizens BancShares is offering a series of fixed-to-floating rate senior notes, as described in a preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 25, 2026 (subject to completion). The notes will convert from a fixed rate to a floating rate tied to the Compounded SOFR Index Rate for the floating-rate period.
The notes will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of BancShares, will not be guaranteed by any subsidiary and therefore will be structurally subordinated to subsidiary liabilities.

BancShares reported consolidated assets of $229.70 billion as of December 31, 2025, and aggregate subsidiary debt and other liabilities of $206.02 billion as of the same date.
