Of the RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2026, 437,431 are subject to a pro rata annual vesting period over three years and 40,000 immediately vested whereas the RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 are subject to a three-year cliff vesting period. The RSUs are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock and fully vest upon (i) death or disability or (ii) change of control. Dividend equivalents accrue on RSUs and are paid upon vesting; there were no accrued dividends on unvested RSUs as of June 30, 2026.

 

Total stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs is classified in the Company’s Condensed Statements of Operations as (i) selling expenses totaling $67,566 and $30,859 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $129,022 and $51,143 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and (ii) general and administrative expense totaling $552,304 and $142,183 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $782,953 and $227,710 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized stock-compensation expense relating to unvested stock awards granted under the Company’s share-based compensation plans amounted to $2,544,703.

 

Stock Options

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

 

   Number of Options   Weighted Avg. Remaining Contractual Life (in years)   Weighted Avg. Exercise Price   Aggregate Intrinsic Value 
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025   1,319,394    3.69   $6.94   $

On April 9, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the cancelation of 1,319,394 stock options issued under the 2017 Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. Stock Compensation Plan and the grant of an equivalent amount of RSUs with immediate vesting under the NeurAxis, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 10, 2026. The stock option cancelation and RSU grant will be treated as a modification under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, whereby the Company will recognize incremental compensation cost as the excess of the fair value of the granted RSUs over the fair value of the stock options upon the exchange on July 24, 2026. The Company estimates $3,400,000 of incremental compensation cost will be recorded upon execution of the stock option cancellation and RSU grant agreements.

 

There was no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
