that answers the restriction question, the shares will be restricted, but don't know yet for how long.

I believe that "Will not be quoted ex" means they won't quote the stock on an ex-dividend basis until after the dividend has been paid.

According to exdividend.com:


When large or valuable cash or stock dividends (usually 20% or more), or a dividend "not in kind" (i.e., a distribution of securities of another issuer), or a split-up is declared, it is the policy to postpone the "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" date until the dividend has been paid. The reason for this is so that the stock is not quoted at the substantially lower "ex-dividend" or "ex-distribution" price until the distribution is received by shareholders. If this were not the case, the collateral value of the stock would be reduced between the "ex" date and payment date, and the shareholder might be required to provide additional collateral.
