They will not be restricted, but there will be a time lag from the issuance date announced and the date that you will receive them (couple of days).
From my last experience I remember wishing I could sell right after the split, but I did not have my shares yet. In the end best I held onto them.There will not be any kind of 6 month wait though. Once you get them they are yours to sell.
Also, another thing is they will be handing out more divi shares of GOTV after the split. This GOTV stock is not on the open market so you can't do anythign with these. If the sales take off on this GOTV product though you will get a check in the mail for your share. Also if down the road they sell this company, which there is talk of, you will have shares in it and get a piece.
Right now the shares are worthless, but you dont have to pay for them or trade them. You just collect when they issue a divi. The dividend issuance after the split might be the next thing issued and will push for a rise is pps.
