Thank you Irene for your response.
I did what suggested and asked our W2 folks at corporate and this was the response:
Per the IRS we have to withhold taxes when you receive shares, even if you do not sell them. It is considered taxable income. Unfortunately we are still in a black out period so you are not allowed to sell them. I understand your frustration because you can’t sell them and that they are considered income, but we are in compliance with IRS regulations.
Yes, this is frustrating! ha
