Answer 2

Basically it hasn't any ideas how to reinvest its capital (accumulated profit) So it will return some of its cash to shareholders. As this will reduce the asset side of the balance sheet it has to reduce the opposing figure, which is the issued shares. To reduce this value the shares outstanding are reduced by consolidation. You cannot do anything, except vote for or aginst. The share value will be reduced but you will rceive cash to compensate.
