Correct £304k less tax.
Having read messages in the chat, options are only taxed once they are sold. So GH will only be taxed on the profit he made on selling 4.5m shares I.e. 9.25p - 0.7p = 8.55p.
So he will be taxed on about £384,750 (ofcourse CGT allowance to be minus). If this is UK and assuming he has full CGT allowance, then he pays 50% tax on £372,750.
