PrivCo

"PrivCo" is a generic name for a private company being acquired (or who is doing the acquiring) as part of the M&A transaction. For example: "Intel Corporation will then acquire PrivCo for total consideration of $10,000,000 in cash and 10,000 shares of Intel Corp." (Of course this is also the trademark for PrivCo.com, the leading financial data provider on private companies.)
