Spanish term or phrase: Una companía es comprada por otra
Necesito expresar que "x" companía fue comprada por "z".
El texto en castellano dice:
"Tenemos el agrado de informarles que, como resultado de la reciente adquisición de "xxx" por parte de "zzz", el nombre de nuestra empresa será "xzx" de ahora adelante."

My shot:
"We are glad to inform you that, as a result of the recent purchase of "xxx" by "zzz", the name of our company will change to "xzx."

Thanks in advance!
