I never said the value of getting double the shares would change, though from my experiences forward splits are good things and the stock will probably end up going up from the split date. I say restricted for 1 year because in the PR it says they wont issue more shares into the float for one year. by unrestricting our shares before 1 year they would be adding to the float, instead of 50 million shares there will be 250 million in 1 year.
