There is only one option.

You can combine all of the content from all four sites, however, in order not to lose the advantages you have gained over the past years, you must keep all four sites and at the very least, a blanket 301 redirect from each site to the new site. This assumes that the fours sites do not have structure overlaps. If there are overlaps then you will have to make some more custom redirects. You can still wildcard much of this. But you will need to make a road-map before taking on the work so that you have a plan.

Having said that, I always advise making the new domain stand on it's own. This means that a vigorous back link campaign must be taken in order to replicate the original back link profile at a minimum. The reason why this is important is because the day will come that you will want to delete the old domains. Replicating the back link profile as much as you can and even increasing the back link profile on the new domain will make this possible.
