To determine the potential cash value of the options, you would multiply the number of options by the difference between the market price and the exercise price.
Let's break it down:
1. **Number of Options:** 2,000,000 options
2. **Exercise Price:** 6p (pence)
Assuming the current market price is higher than the exercise price, the difference would be the profit per option. Let's say the market price is 10p.
So, the profit per option would be:
Market Price - Exercise Price = 10p - 6p = 4p
Now, to calculate the total potential profit:
Total Profit = Profit per Option * Number of Options
Total Profit = 4p * 2,000,000 = 8,000,000 pence
To convert this to a more familiar currency like pounds (£), you would divide by 100 since there are 100 pence in a pound:
Total Profit = £80,000
So, if the CEO exercises all 2 million options and sells them at the current market price of 10p, they could potentially make £80,000 in cash.
Not of lot of money really even with HE1 trading at 10p for these options.
