The Company is accounting for this stock-based payment arrangement under ASC 718, and the obligation to issue the future shares is classified as a liability as it represents a variable share settled instrument that would be subject to ASC 480. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $62,500 in consulting expense related to the share issuance obligation and issued 2,500 shares of common stock with an estimated fair value of $25,000 to the third-party consultant.

In November 2024, the Company issued 202,500 shares of common stock upon the settlement of $405,000 in working capital funds advanced by SCS. The Company determined that the partial settlement of the working capital advances represented a troubled debt restructuring, as the Company determined it was experiencing financial difficulties and the lender granted a concession through the exchange for shares of Common Stock. Under the troubled debt restructuring accounting, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the working capital funds advances by the fair value of the shares of Common Stock issued ($261,225) and then compared the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the working capital advances to the carrying value. The Company determined an additional $143,775 reduction in the carrying value was necessary to equate it to the future undiscounted cash flows, representing a gain on restructuring. As SCS is a related party to the Company (see Note 10), the restructuring gain was treated as a capital transaction and recorded to additional paid in capital along with the fair value of the shares of common stock issued in the settlement.

Stock Options

In June 2024, the DHAC board of directors and stockholders approved the VSee Health, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). There are currently 2,544,021 shares reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan. At the Closing of the Business Combination on June 24, 2024, the Company granted 803,646 stock options with an exercise price equal to $12.11 pursuant to the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan to the individuals, in the amounts, and on the terms set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

The 2024 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including options that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as non-qualified stock options. Each award is set forth in a separate agreement with the person who received the award which indicates the type, terms and conditions of the award.

​

​

Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the estimated fair value of the common stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the per share fair value of the common stock on the related measurement date.

In accordance with ASC 718, 174,302 of the options granted are awards granted with a service condition and will vest over one year from grant date. The unvested portion of the June 2024 options issued is not considered part of the consideration paid and as such the proportional value of the unvested options will be recognized over the one-year service period. The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $9.12 per option. The fair value of the unvested options was estimated using a Black-Scholes option model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Common Stock and current interest rates. Below are the key assumptions used in valuing the unvested options.

​

​

As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized stock-based compensation related to the unvested options granted was approximately $774,274 to be recognized through June 2025. The value of the fully vested options, which were included as part of the recapitalization, was $5,728,784 on June 24, 2024 grant date and closing of the business combination. Stock-based compensation expense of $826,916 was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024 within compensation and related benefits on the consolidated statements of operations, and no stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The grant date fair value was estimated to be $619,935 (see Note 16 Fair Value Measurements). The Company also determined that it should classify this award as a liability under ASC 718, and remeasure the award at its then current fair value each reporting date.
