Abstract: The PVR-INOX merger led to the formation of the largest multiplex chain in India to leverage synergic benefits with a share swap ratio of 3:10, in which for every 10 shares of INOX Leisure PVR issued 3 shares. Market analysts opined that the swap ratio was slightly favorable to INOX shareholders, probably due to its unlevered position against levered PVR.

Amidst various challenges, the combined entity was strategizing to launch a world-class cinema experience and diversify its sources of revenue. The strength of the two iconic cinema viewing platforms would counter the strong adversities postured by the introduction of various OTT platforms.

The case study provides an in-depth analysis of the dynamics in the Indian multiplex industry, synergic benefits of the merger, SWOT analysis, and the business model of the merged entity. The case study also provides the justification of the merger’s share swap ratio, and the valuation of both the entities.
