 | **Shareholder Dilution Lawsuit** //2001// | Shareholders have started a class-action lawsuit claiming we are trying to push out minority shareholders by diluting their investments into the company. They're suing because you issued new shares for the stock. They're seeking ${AMOUNT} in damages. This lawsuit puts us in a difficult position. We can settle out of court, or we can push the case with a chance of winning and paying nothing. If we lose the case, we will lose a large amount of money. | **Fight It!** - You fight the lawsuit. There is a random chance you'll win or lose. Your lobbying efforts and administrative skills will skew the odds more in your favor. If you lose, you can expect to pay significantly more than settling.  //1047// | **Settle** - Settling does not admit fault. It just admits that you want the problem to go away, and you're willing to pay for it. While this option isn't cheap, it is much cheaper than losing a lawsuit. //1048// | | |
 | **Board Of Directors Warning** //1003// | I have some bad news. The Board of Directors stated that if you do not get your act together soon, they may have to remove you from your position. We need to improve our EPS, our Equity, our Share Price, our Dividend Payout, or something else to keep them happy! | **OK** - Acknowledge the warning. //499// | | | |
-| **Board Of Directions Action (Spin-Off)** //1004// | The Board of Directors has approached us with a plan to spin off {0}. This plan will cost us ${1} to implement. They believe that {0} should operate as an independent company. This action could be good for us by spinning off dead weight. Or it could be bad for us because we'll be losing a profitable segment. In either event, we will retain {2}% ownership of the new company. | **Agree** - This will make the board of directors happier with you and will probably avoid getting you fired. //505// | **Reject** - Reject the board of directors' plan. This action will make the board more upset with you. And it could lead to more demands or even you getting fired. //506// | | |

+| **Board Of Directions Action (Dividends)** //1002// | After our most recent meeting, the board has unanimously voted to increase dividend rates by ${NEW DIVIDEND AMOUNT}. This mandate will increase the quarterly payout by ${QUARTERLY PAYOUT AMOUNT}. Failing to increase the dividend rate will decrease confidence in your leadership and possibly cause a shareholder revolt. | **Meet Demands** - This will make the board of directors happier with you and will probably avoid getting you fired. //500// | **Deny Demands** - Reject the board of directors' plan. This action will make the board more upset with you. And it could lead to more demands or even you getting fired. //501// | | |
+| **Consolidation Request** //1046// | {OTHER COMPANY} has approached us with a very interesting deal. They're seeking to consolidate with us. In other words, we would merge and form a new company named {NEW COMPANY NAME}. We would keep {AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP}% ownership and managerial control of this new company. If successful, the new company will have approximately ${VALUE OF COMPANY} in equity. | **Agree** - Agree to consolidate companies. This will make a new company that you have part ownership of but still control. //512// | **Decline** - Reject the offer to consolidate. //513// | | |
+| **Shareholder Devaluing Lawsuit** //5000// | Shareowners of {STOCK NAME} have banded together to initiate a class-action lawsuit against us for devaluing the company by stripping its assets through an excessive dividend. Their argument centers on the fact that the high dividend payout rate prevents the company from having operational cash flow. They believe you are draining the company's liquid assets away, thus allowing you to purchase it outright from them at a lower price. They have filed motions in court. And in response, we've hired the Dewey, Cheetham, and Howe law firm. They've given us several options on how to proceed. | **Fight It!** - You fight the lawsuit. There is a random chance you'll win or lose. Your lobbying efforts and administrative skills will skew the odds more in your favor.

It just admits that you want the problem to go away, and you're willing to pay for it. While this option isn't cheap, it is much cheaper than losing a lawsuit. //5002// | | |
