**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

During the weekend, Medinotec, Inc. (the "Company") became aware that Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed on Friday March 10, 2022 by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver. The Company has total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.7 million as of March 13, 2023. Approximately $2.6 million is held at SVB, which represents approximately 96% of the Company's cash and cash equivalents balance as of March 13, 2023. The Company's deposits with SVB are largely uninsured.

The FDIC issued the following statement on March 12, 2023:

Washington, DC -- The following statement was released by Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen, Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome H. Powell, and FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg:

Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system. This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth.

After receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Yellen approved actions enabling the FDIC to complete its resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California, in a manner that fully protects all depositors. Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer.

We are also announcing a similar systemic risk exception for Signature Bank, New York, New York, which was closed today by its state chartering authority. All depositors of this institution will be made whole. As with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank, no losses will be borne by the taxpayer.

Shareholders and certain unsecured debtholders will not be protected. Senior management has also been removed. Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

Finally, the Federal Reserve Board on Sunday announced it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors.

The U.S. banking system remains resilient and on a solid foundation, in large part due to reforms that were made after the financial crisis that ensured better safeguards for the banking industry. Those reforms combined with today's actions demonstrate our commitment to take the necessary steps to ensure that depositors' savings remain safe.

FDIC: PR-17-2023

At this time, based on the Joint Statement issued by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC on Sunday evening, March 12, 2023, it is understood that, along with all other depositors, the Company will have access to all of its deposits at SVB, starting Monday, March 13, 2023. The Company confirms that as of March 13, 2023, its deposits have been recovered from SVB. We continue to actively monitor the evolving situation with SVB and will take appropriate actions as needed.
