Outstanding shares are the current amount of shares issued (ie issued = outstanding)

Restricted shares are shares in the O/S that can not be currently traded (ie - Restricted)

Float is the amount of currently trading shares - or O/S less restricted. It is the amount of shares "in the marketplace".

Float plus restricted shares equals the Outstanding shares.

When restricted shares become free trading, they DO NOT increase the O/S, but they add to the float.

When new free trading shares are issued, they increase the O/S and they add to the float

When new restricted shares are issued, they add to the O/S and they DO NOT add to the float.

I have no humble opinions, but I do have opinions and those are what I express in my posts. BUT...I have been wrong before and likely will be wrong again so do your own research and don't blame me if you are too lazy to do so.
