share purchase agreement
Explanation:
It could also be "stock purchase agreement" or "sale and purchase agreement", but (a) all three mean the same thing and (b) "share purchase" gets over a million Google hits, far more than the other two.

The additional context provided by the asker says "en application des clauses du SPA", so it's clearly an agreement.
