This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates the Reporting Persons joint Schedule 13D and is filed to update the numbers of shares and percentages of the Issuers Class B Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of them to reflect changes in their beneficial ownership since the filing of the previous amendment dated December 20, 2012, including the election of one of the Reporting Persons, Olivia B. Holding, as a director of a company and its subsidiary that hold shares of the Issuers Class B Common Stock.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement relates to the Class B Common Stock, $1 par value per share (Class B Common Stock), of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (the Issuer). The Issuers principal executive offices are located at 4300 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This statement is filed jointly by Frank B. Holding and his spouse, Ella Ann L. Holding, and their adult children, Frank B. Holding, Jr., Hope H. Bryant, Olivia B. Holding, Claire H. Bristow, and Carson H. Brice. The Reporting Persons are members of the same family, but each of them disclaims membership in a group. Their addresses are as follows:

 

Name		Address		Principal Occupation
Frank B. Holding		409 East Market Street Smithfield, NC 27577		Retired, former Executive Vice Chairman and director of the Issuer and its subsidiary
Ella Ann L. Holding		409 East Market Street Smithfield, NC 27577		Community Volunteer
Frank B. Holding, Jr.		4300 Six Forks Road Raleigh, NC 27609		Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer and its subsidiary

(1)	In the Reporting Persons previous Schedule 13D/A dated December 20, 2012, Mrs. Bryant was identified as Hope H. Connell.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor have any of them been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which they were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Each of the Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares of the Issuers Class B Common Stock held individually by Frank B. Holding and Ella Ann L. Holding were acquired in part at the time of the Issuers formation in 1986 in exchange for shares of its predecessor, and in part with their personal funds. The shares held individually by Frank B. Holding, Jr., Hope H. Bryant, Olivia B. Holding, Claire H. Bristow and Carson H. Brice were acquired in part through gifts from their parents, Frank B. Holding and Ella Ann L. Holding, and in part with their

personal funds, and shares held by their children were acquired through gifts from them and Frank B. Holding and Ella Ann L. Holding. Shares held by the various entities listed in the tables below were acquired by those entities with their separate funds or, in the case of the two charitable foundations, contributions by Lewis R. Holding and Frank B. Holding and Ella Ann L. Holding.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Frank B. Holding, Jr., Hope H. Bryant, and Claire H. Bristows spouse, Peter M. Bristow, serve as executive officers and directors of the Issuer and, therefore, participate with the Issuers management and Board of Directors in the making of policy for the Issuer and the consideration of and taking of action on significant corporate events involving the Issuer. Until April 29, 2014, Frank B. Holding served as Executive Vice Chairman and a director of the Issuer. However, shares of the Issuers Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by each of them and by each of the other individuals and entities named in the tables below are held as described below for investment purposes.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The following tables list shares of the Issuers Class B Common Stock as to which each of the Reporting Persons may be considered to have sole or shared voting and/or dispositive power as of the filing date of this Schedule 13D/A, and the percentage of the outstanding shares of the Issuers Class B Common Stock (1,005,185 outstanding shares as of June 30, 2016) represented by the shares listed for each Reporting Person. In the aggregate, the reporting persons may be considered to beneficially own 696,575 shares of Class B Common Stock, or approximately 69.3% of the outstanding shares of that class. Other entities in which certain of the Reporting Persons are shareholders and serve as directors hold 22,619 shares of Class B Common Stock, or approximately 2.3% of the outstanding shares of the class. The Reporting Persons disclaim voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by those other entities.

In addition to the shares of Class B Common Stock described in the tables below, the Reporting Persons may be considered to beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 32.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuers Class A Common Stock which is a separate class of common stock, and other entities in which certain of the Reporting Persons are shareholders and serve as directors hold approximately 3.0% of the outstanding shares of that class. The Reporting Persons disclaim voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by those other entities.

Frank B. Holding. Mr. Holding is, or may be deemed to be, the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 981 shares of Class B Common Stock, amounting to 0.1% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, as described in the table below.

 

Holder of Shares		Number of Shares				Voting Power								Dispositive Power
						Sole				Shared				Sole				Shared
Frank B. Holding			-0-				-0-				-0-				-0-				-0-
By Ella Ann Holding Revocable Trust (2)			981				-0-				981				-0-				981
Total			981				-0-				981				-0-				981

 

(1)

All shares are held separately by Mr. Holdings spouse as trustee of her revocable trust. While Mr. Holding may be considered to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares because of their spousal relationship, he has no such actual power. He disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his spouses trust, and this Schedule 13D/A shall not be construed as an admission that Mr. Holding is the beneficial owner of those shares.

The distribution of dividends and sale proceeds from shares held by Mr. Holdings spouses revocable trust is determined based on the terms of the governing instruments of the trust.

The distribution of dividends and sale proceeds from shares held by Mrs. Holdings revocable trust are determined based on the terms of the governing instruments of the trust.
