First Citizens BancShares raises $300M in 7.5% perpetual preferred stock

First Citizens BancShares has raised $300 million through a public offering of perpetual preferred stock. The bank issued 300,000 depositary shares at $1,000 each, with net proceeds of approximately $297 million after underwriting costs. The Series F preferred stock pays a fixed 7.5% annual dividend until September 2031, after which it converts to a floating rate tied to the five-year Treasury rate plus 2.894%. The stock is perpetual and non-cumulative, with no required redemption date. The offering adds $300 million in Tier 1 capital but creates a senior claim ahead of common shareholders on dividends and liquidation. If First Citizens misses a full quarterly dividend, it generally cannot pay dividends on or buy back common stock during the next period. The underwriting syndicate included Morgan Stanley, BofA Securities, J.P. Morgan Securities, and Wells Fargo Securities as lead bookrunners.
