Yes, you can sell the Restricted shares after 1 year, some only require 1/2 year, and up to 5 years as well. If you are a worker that got them then you do not need the 2 million dollar net asset. Many companies also give you the 5 years time to buy half the amount of additional shares at a set price, and sell the next day if desired, no matter how much higher it may be at that time.
