PVR INOX Limited has informed shareholders about the upcoming transfer of unclaimed dividends and their corresponding equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in compliance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016. The company will transfer dividends that have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years, along with the underlying shares, to the IEPF. Specifically, dividends from the Financial Year 2015-16 are scheduled for transfer on or before September 30, 2026. Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for seven consecutive years will also have their shares transferred as per the IEPF rules. PVR INOX Limited has already communicated with affected shareholders whose shares are liable for transfer. For shareholders holding shares in physical form, duplicate share certificates will be issued and transferred to the IEPF, canceling the original certificates. For shareholders holding shares in electronic form, their demat accounts will be debited, and the shares will be transferred to the IEPF. Shareholders are urged to submit the required documents to the Company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent by September 30, 2026, to claim their shares and unclaimed dividend amounts. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of shares to the IEPF without further notice. Claims can still be made against the IEPF Authority after the transfer. Advertisements detailing this notice were published in the Business Standard (English) and Loksatta (Marathi) newspapers on June 03, 2026. The information is also available on the company's website, www.pvrcinemas.com.
