Sharesave maturity options

Hi all, 
Looking for some advice as I've not done this before. I've gained £4500 from a sharesave scheme (put in approx £6k now worth approx £10.5k). My exercise choices are now:
- keep the shared in a corporate sponsored nominee
- keep the shares as a share certificate
- Sell the shares and receive the proceeds

I want to cash out  and I thought the best way to do this was to transfer the funds to an ISA? But I'm not sure I see how to do this from the options. Can anyone tell me how please. 

I believe CGT is payable over £3k, is that correct and is it still applicable if it goes into an ISA?

How do I proceed? TIA!

    can you transfer a share certificate to the ISA?

    otherwise if you cash out then you'd have the money in your account and can then pay that into an ISA.

    Don't cash out - that will trigger CGT.

    Have a look at this thread
    Clarification needed on 90 day SAYE shares to ISA transfer. — MoneySavingExpert Forum

    It mentions Equiniti as an ISA provider though you probably won't need to worry about the flexi ISA stuff.
