In order to properly translate into French, looking to confirm what "completes acquisition" exactly means here: "proceeds to..." or "finalizes the acquisition of" (in French "conclut l'acquisition de" or "finalise l'acquisition de").
Thanks!

writeaway
: complete in the context is used as a verb. / the use of majority, 100% (ownership) make me think you see complete as an adjective.

Are you saying that "obtain" is not a verb? If the explanation confused you, it is not an interpretation of the context but a definition of acquisition that should solve the question.
