Share Options in a Maxi Isa?

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy any share options a company offer you as part of a Maxi ISA?

ie if I had options on about 300 shares that I can buy for £1, would I be able to buy them in an ISA to protect myself from CGT rather than just buying them normally?
The guys in the locker room kid me about having a small vocabulary.
I don't know why. Mine looks just as big as theirs.

    If you are talking about share options offered as part of an employee share scheme, then you can take the option and you have 90 days to transfer them into a Shares ISA as part of your annual ISA allowance.

    Not sure. Its not a share save scheme as the company hasn't floated (yet).

    If I can put them in is it at cost price or at their current price?
