One option is to turn on iCloud Contacts on you old iMac and your new one and they will automatically sync. Set up iCloud for Contacts on all your devices - Apple Support


Another would be to open the Contacts app on the old Mac, use File menu > Export > Contacts Archive and then transfer that archive file to the new Mac and use File menu > Import
