Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
U.S. NeuroSurgical Holdings, Inc. (“USNU” or the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement dated as of November 27, 2023 (the
“Share Exchange Agreement”) with the holders of minority interests in U.S. NeuroSurgical, Inc. (“USN”), which resulted in making USN a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the exchange, the Company owned 85% of USN. Under the
terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the former minority holders of USN (the “Minority Holders”) received an aggregate of 1,392,739 newly-issued shares of USNU common stock, representing 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock after the
giving effect to the issuance.
As a part of its agreement to acquire Elite Health Plan, Inc., a California corporation (“Elite Health”) in October 2021, the Company
agreed with the former Elite Health shareholders that if there is no trading market for the shares of USN after six months from the closing of the transaction, such holders may request that the Company take steps that would give such holders
access to the public trading market, which could be accomplished at the Company’s election through an exchange of such holders’ shares for USNU shares. The Minority Holders have made such request, and the Company has determined that it is in
its best interests to provide the Minority Holders with access to the public markets though an exchange of shares as provided under the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of the transaction, there are outstanding as of November 27, 2023,
9,284,924 shares of USNU common stock.
The above description of the Share Exchange Agreement does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the full text of the Share Exchange Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01
|
Other Events.
|
As previously disclosed and referred to in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K, Elite Health was acquired by USN, the Company’s operating
subsidiary, in October 2021, in exchange for an equity interest in USN that constituted 15% of USN after the transaction. (Pursuant to the transaction described in Item 1.01, Elite Health is now wholly-owned by the Company through USN.) Elite
Health was formed in 2017 with the purpose of establishing a managed care organization that will operate as a Medicare Advantage plan for seniors. Medicare Advantage plans are regulated and reimbursed by the federal government and licensed by
the state or states within which they operate. Our plan is for Elite Health to initially operate in Neveda and then in the California counties of San Bernadino, Los Angeles, and Orange. Each of these states and markets has a growing number of
Medicare eligible seniors. In time, our plan is for Elite Health to identify and operate in other suitable markets beyond Nevada and California. Because of the collective experience of its founders and affiliates as physicians, software
executives, and health plan administrators, we believe that Elite Health will be positioned to bring a comprehensive and cost-effective solution to eligible seniors in these markets.
Elite Health will need to apply for a license in each state that it intends to operate. We have commenced the process for establishing
a Medicare Advantage plan in Nevada, which could be the first state in which we operate due to the relatively long time frame necessary to complete the licensing process in California. With respect to California, we are in the process of
applying for a Knox Keene license which would enable Elite Health to operate a Medicare Advantage plan in that state. However, there can be no assurance that the Company and Elite Health will be able to secure a license and or establish
operations in Neveda, California or other states. While the licensing applications are in process, Elite Health has taken preliminary steps toward identifying a network of providers who are well-versed in the healthcare needs of seniors in the
communities in which they practice. Elite Health founders and affiliates also have considerable experience with healthcare record based software and the proposed will endeavor to utilize the latest advances in information systems, including AI
and data analytics, in its processes to enhance each patient experience and control medical costs.
The Company and Elite Health understand that the keys to success with a managed care organization are delivering comprehensive patient
care and containing costs. In addition to developing a plan to obtain and maintain necessary approvals and licenses, gaining access to a competent network of providers and enrolling a critical level of subscribers, it will be necessary for the
plan to provide high quality patient care efficiently and cost effectively. There can be no assurance that the Company and Elite Health will be effective in doing so.
Until its first plan is licensed and established, Elite Health will have no revenues. Therefore, Elite Health will be required to
raise capital to support licensing activity for its proposed Medicare Advantage plans and continue to establish its network of providers for its plans. There can be no assurance that sources of such capital will be available to the Company or,
if available, will be able to be obtained under acceptable terms.
