      This Amendment No. 2 is filed by the Reporting Person to amend his
Schedule 13D dated October 21, 1986, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1
dated March 31, 1997. The Reporting Person's Schedule 13D hereby is further
amended as described below.

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

      This Statement relates to the Class A Common Stock, $1 par value per share
("Class A Common Stock"), of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (the "Issuer"),
whose principal executive offices are located at 239 Fayetteville Street,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27601.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

      (a)-(c) This Statement is filed by Lewis R. Holding, whose business
address is Post Office Box 29549, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626. Mr. Holding's
principal occupation is serving as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Issuer and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank &
Trust Company, a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank whose principal
executive offices are located at 239 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27601.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a)-(b) The shares of Class A Common Stock previously reported as
beneficially owned by the Reporting Person included an aggregate of 122,800
shares held by two irrevocable trusts for the benefit of the Reporting Person's
adult daughter and with respect to which the Reporting Person's spouse served as
one of two co-trustees with certain individual authority with respect to the
sale of assets of the trusts. Effective November 1, 1999, the trustees of the
trusts were restructured to provide that six persons (including the Reporting
Person's spouse) will serve as co-trustees of each of the trusts and act by a
majority vote. As a result of such restructuring, the Reporting Person no longer
deems himself to be the beneficial owner of shares of Class A Common Stock held
by the trusts.

      Following the above trustee restructuring, the Reporting Person is, or may
be deemed to be, the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 1,384,524 shares of
Class A Common Stock, constituting 15.55% of the outstanding Class A Common
Stock (based on a total of 8,905,199 shares outstanding), as follows:

   NO. OF SHARES            MANNER IN WHICH SHARES ARE HELD
   -------------            -------------------------------

789,682 (8.87%)   Held by the Reporting Person individually
106,721 (1.20%)   Held by The Robert P. Holding Foundation, a charitable
                  non-profit foundation of which the Reporting Person serves as
                  an officer and director
  3,000 (0.03%)   Held by the Lew H. Foundation, a charitable non-profit
                  foundation of which the Reporting Person serves as an officer
                  and a director
 48,963 (0.55%)   Held by the Reporting Person's spouse individually
 25,129 (0.28%)   Held by the Reporting Person's adult daughter individually

      In addition to the shares listed above, an aggregate of 411,029 shares
(4.62%) are held of record by certain publicly-held corporations in which the
Reporting Person is a principal shareholder (but not a director or officer), or
by subsidiaries of certain of those corporations, as follows:

   NO. OF SHARES           MANNER IN WHICH SHARES ARE HELD
   -------------           -------------------------------

167,600 (1.88%)   Held by First Citizens Bancorporation of South Carolina, Inc.,
                  Columbia, S.C.
100,000 (1.12%)   Held by Fidelity BancShares (N.C.), Inc., Fuquay-Varina, N.C.
 24,584 (0.28%)   Held by Southern BancShares (N.C.), Inc., Mount Olive, N.C.
 46,000 (0.52%)   Held by Southern Bank and Trust Company, Mount Olive, N.C. (a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern BancShares (N.C.), Inc.)
  54,000 (0.61%)  Held by Goshen, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern
                  Bank and Trust Company)
  18,145 (0.20%)  Held by Yadkin Valley Company, Raleigh, N.C.
     700 (0.01%)  Held by Yadkin Valley Life Insurance Company, Raleigh, N.C. (a
                  wholly-owned subsidiary of Yadkin Valley Company)
<PAGE>
      The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power as to the
789,682 shares of Class A Common Stock held by him directly and may be deemed to
have shared voting and dispositive powers as to the 106,721 shares held by The
Robert P. Holding Foundation, the 3,000 shares held by the Lew H. Foundation,
the 48,963 shares held individually by his spouse, the 25,129 shares held
individually by his adult daughter, and the aggregate of 411,029 shares held by
the various corporations listed above. However, the Reporting Person disclaims
beneficial ownership of shares held individually by his spouse and adult
daughter.

      The above shares do not include the aggregate of 122,800 shares held by
the two irrevocable trusts described above, or 256,375 shares held by an
additional irrevocable trust for the benefit of the Reporting Person's adult
daughter, each of which trusts is managed by six individual trustees (including
the Reporting Person's spouse) acting by majority vote. The Reporting Person
disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held by the trusts.

      (c) The Reporting Person made two gifts of 5,000 shares and 3,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock, respectively, on November 4, 1999. Otherwise, the
Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in Class A Common Stock
during the 60 days preceding, or since, the date of this Amendment No. 2.
