 {{ :gamemanual:gui_finance_stock_consolidation.png?direct&400|}}
+A consolidation is where two companies merge into one. The game allows this by keeping by setting the total number of shares to the sum of both company's outstanding shares. And then letting all the shareholders keep their existing share amounts. If your company is not publically traded, it will become publically traded.  Likewise, the new company will have a new name and two new marques. But you will retain your logo and HQ.
+To do a consolidation, click the "Consolidation" button (#1). Information about the company's finances is at the top (#2). A breakdown summary of what they own is just below (#3).
+Finally, at the bottom, the game will display if they're interested in consolidating (#4). If they're not, you'll be rejected. If they are interested, the game will tell you the new name, and a button will appear, allowing you to continue the consolidation process.
