German term or phrase: Kaufpreisanteil
Der Kaufpreis betrug nach Unternehmensangaben XX Millionen Euro abzüglich zinstragender Verbindlichkeiten plus Barmittel. Hinzu kommt ein vom wirtschaftlichen Erfolg in den Jahren 2007 und 2008 abhängiger Kaufpreisanteil.

Is it "purchase price allocation"? Thanks very much!

contingent purchase price payment (or: obligation)
Explanation:
The German term here is really: "vom wirtschaftlichen Erfolg .. abhängiger Kaufpreisanteil", i.e. a portion of the aggregate purchase price that is contingent on certain performance criteria being met. This is generally known in English as a "contingent purchase price payment" (or sometimes "contingent purchase price obligation").

Explanation:
I find the word "Kaufpreisanteil" confusing in the German text and I would not attempt a literal translation.
Maybe something like: An additional sum/percentage share of the turnover will have to be paid depending on the performance of the business ...
