Item 8.01. Other Events.

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “BancShares”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) to retrospectively revise certain historical financial information and related disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2024 (our “2023 Form 10-K”), to conform with the segment reporting changes described below.

The segment disclosures in our 2023 Form 10-K included financial results for the General Bank, Commercial Bank, Silicon Valley Banking, and Rail segments and Corporate. As disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2024, we made the following changes to our segment reporting during the first quarter of 2024:

•the private banking and wealth management components of the Silicon Valley Banking (“SVB”) segment were integrated into the General Bank segment which already included other wealth management activities;

•the SVB segment was renamed SVB Commercial as its customers primarily include commercial clients in key innovation markets, as well as private equity and venture capital clients; and

•the Direct Bank (a nationwide digital banking platform that delivers deposit products to consumers) previously allocated to the General Bank segment was transitioned to Corporate which already included borrowings and brokered deposits.

Segment disclosures and related information for all quarterly periods included in our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30 and March 31, 2024 conformed with the above described changes to our reportable segments.

In Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and incorporated by reference into Item 9.01 of this Report, the following items from our 2023 Form 10-K have been retrospectively revised to conform with the above described changes to our reportable segments:

•Part I, Item 1. Business,

•Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and

•Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

This Report, including Exhibit 99.1, does not reflect activities or events occurring after we filed our 2023 Form 10-K and does not modify or update information or disclosures in our 2023 Form 10-K, other than to reflect the above described changes in segment reporting. The information in this Report, including Exhibit 99.1, should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Form 10-K, our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended June 30 and March 31, 2024, and our other subsequent filings with the SEC.
