Sony, first and foremost (in their deal with Konica Minolta they also got the R&D team and lens factory)
Tamron, most probably. However, this is still to be proven by evidences.
Cosina ? I very much doubt it, they have no expertise in designing or manufacturing autofocus or stabilised lenses (they don't manufacture the Zeiss Touit and Batis lenses).
