acquirer
Falls es schon ein Vertrag ist, dann würde ich den Käufer als "Acquirer nennen". Siehe auch das Glossar meines Links.

: Could also be a purchasing company or a SPAC. The d-box entry was not to say you were wrong; a bit more context would have been nice, though.

Moreover, there is a legal definition for an Übernahmegesellschaft:
"Wenn dies im gestaltenden Teil vorgesehen ist, erstreckt sich die Überwachung auf die Erfüllung der Ansprüche, die den Gläubigern nach dem gestaltenden Teil gegen eine juristische Person oder Gesellschaft ohne Rechtspersönlichkeit zustehen, die nach der Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens gegründet worden ist, um das Unternehmen oder einen Betrieb des Schuldners zu übernehmen und weiterzuführen (Übernahmegesellschaft)."

Same here: https://www.haufe.de/recht/deutsches-anwalt-office-premium/b...
It is a newly founded company formed for the sole purpose of acquiring another. Also known as a "purchasing company":

Whether this has any impact on the translation isn't the point.
