Explanation:
You may have to do more than to explain what the German means. That's a given. The expressions should also be similar in register.

"Significant stakes in these companies are to be gradually transferred from doctors, the original shareholders, to XX before the closing. In other words, XX is going to ramp up its share in these companies."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Michael. I didn't come across that term before, but it seems to be a common expression in bus/finance, i.e. a good choice in this context (also considering the similar register).
