Restricted shares - what does that mean?

First of all, we must realize that the dividends that $EMXC is paying (for people who owned $EMXC prior to June 15th) are a "one-time only" dividend, as opposed to a "quarterly" dividend, which is paid 4 times a year.
This "one-time only" dividend can be seen as a "reward" for the owners of $EMXC shares - "one-time only" dividends are traditionally restricted for one year. This means:
*the company used the investor's money to buy, expand, merge, etc. - and expects a nice return on this investment over the next year. In this case, $EMXC used the money to merge with $MPIX, and in the mean time, $MPIX is also becoming an increasingly larger company, merging and expanding. The 12-month period assures $EMXC enough time for its investment to build, grow, expand, etc. After this point, investors are free to trade their shares.
