float
"float" or "floating supply (of shares)"
See second, third and fourth entry of http://www.granddictionnaire.com/Resultat.aspx
I think company A is speculating on the possibility that company B may, within 5 or 6 years, have a large number of shares that it may be able to inject into the market.

Note from asker:
| thanks Marco. If A takes over B, it would be able to decide what happens in terms of creating and selling more shares |
