If the company is smart they will offer an incentive to shareholders to not sell post consolidation. Something like a loyalty bonus, so if shareholders keep their stock past the loyalty bonus date, maybe 3-6 months post consolidation, then they get extra shares. But I like the comment that maybe a deal is around the corner. Announcing something around the time of the consolidation would keep the price up, as history does show post consolidation stocks do loose some value.
