"bidding AG" or "company to make the bid"


Explanation:
Sounds like a new company is being formed for the purpose of making an acquisition.

In acquisitions it is often the case that the biddr forms a new subsidiary company (with no existing assets and liabilities) specifically to make the bid in order to avoid/reduce any complication and/or risks for the parent company.
