In late March, the two film exhibition companies announced their merger plan to "deliver unparalleled movie-going experience" to the audience.
The combined entity will be named PVR INOX with the branding of existing screens to continue as PVR and INOX, respectively.
Post the merger, PVR Promoters will have a 10.62 per cent stake while INOX Promoters will have a 16.66 per cent stake in the combined entity, it had said while announcing the proposed merger.
