An acquiree is the company or entity that is being purchased or taken over in an acquisition. The acquiree may be a smaller company or one that fits strategically into the acquiring company’s business model. Once the acquisition is completed, the acquiree’s assets, liabilities, and operations are typically integrated into the acquiring company’s structure. The acquiree may maintain some degree of autonomy or become fully absorbed, depending on the terms of the deal. The acquiree’s shareholders generally receive compensation, which can be in the form of cash, stock, or a combination of both, depending on the acquisition agreement.
If Company A buys Company B, then Company B is considered the acquiree in the transaction, while Company A is the acquirer.
