Get a lawyer to draft a response asking them kindly to let you have the options anyways for their own reputation's sake.
They will be pressured by the fact that you are not willing to signed anything, you have the upper hand here.
Other than that, you deserve nothing. You stated your intent to leave, therefore there is no reason for the company to give you equity even though you worked very hard for it. They prefer to keep the equity for employees who would continue to work in the company.
As a founder, I wouldn't act like that because it is not nice, but it is the more rational decision.

An intention to leave isn't the same thing as handing in your resignation. The guy worked for the equity he was promised and IF it turns out that they terminated him for no other reason to than to avoid giving him that equity, that's a clear violation of their agreement. * They prefer to keep the equity for employees who would continue to work in the company.* Sure and that's why vesting periods exist in the first place. But if they agreed to a one year vesting period, they have no right to punish this guy for not wanting to do more. You make an agreement, stick to it. FFS.
