Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from FCZBL (FCZBL) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow FCZBL and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full FCZBL filings page.
First Citizens BancShares is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual annual meeting, where they will elect 12 directors, approve an advisory say-on-pay resolution, and ratify the independent accountants. The board recommends voting for all three management proposals and against a stockholder proposal seeking a report on faith-based employee resource groups.
The proxy highlights 2025 results: net income of $2.21 billion, down from $2.78 billion, with diluted EPS of $165.24 and lower returns on assets and equity. Despite softer earnings, the company generated loan and deposit growth, maintained a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 11.15%, and returned $3.03 billion to stockholders through repurchasing about 1.58 million Class A shares.
The filing also emphasizes governance and culture: eight of 12 director nominees are independent, the board uses a lead independent director structure, and all key committees (audit, risk, technology, compensation and governance, and trust) are active in overseeing risk, compensation, ethics, and cybersecurity. Extensive disclosure on executive pay programs ties leadership incentives to tangible book value growth, risk management, and integration of major acquisitions.
