FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES INC DE

Per Share Data

Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of Class A common stock, par value $1 (“Class A common stock”), and Class B common stock, par value $1 (“Class B common stock”), outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding increased by the weighted-average potential impact of dilutive shares. BancShares’ potential dilutive instruments include unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The dilutive effect is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes the conversion of these instruments. However, in periods when there is a net loss, these shares would not be included in the diluted earnings per common share computation as the result would have an anti-dilutive effect. BancShares had no potential dilutive common shares outstanding prior to the CIT Merger and did not report diluted earnings per common share for prior periods. See Note 20—Earnings Per Common Share for additional information.
