Page Replaced

.mod rewrite question

[keyplyr]

I am removing 4 pages from a website due to some legal issues. These pages have substantial PR and attract heavy traffic. I want to steer that traffic (and PR if possible) to the index page of the same site which shares similiar topic content, but not identical.

I am intending to use the permantly moved rewrite:

Redirect 301 /page1.html [my_domain.com...]
Redirect 301 /page2.html [my_domain.com...]
Redirect 301 /page3.html [my_domain.com...]
Redirect 301 /page4.html [my_domain.com...]

Will this be considered SPAM by Google or other SEs?
