请问关于公司法中的Associated entities

caini12345

碰到一个法律概念 跟我的签证有关 考虑到这个板块可能有人学过这边的公司法
所以发这里了 请教一下
很多人都知道457签证要为担保自己的雇主工作，
从移民局网站上看，也可以为Associated entitiy 工作
不久前 担保我457签证的雇主把公司卖给了新雇主 公司的库存 部分人员 有薪假 大部分客户都转到了新公司
但旧雇主的ABN号和名称都不用了 网站也自动转到新雇主的网站
新公司也乐于继续担保签证 虽然如此 考虑到一些细节
请问这种情况下两家公司 属于法律上的Associated entities吗 以下是公司法的规定 谢谢了
