changing companies/corporations
Explanation:
This is not easy without any context, but this is how I read it:

optionally for continuous, permanent employment when changing companies/corporations)

Firmenwechsel is when an employee goes from one company to another. Apparently in this case, the person nevertheless is in continued employment status because there were no breaks in employment.

change of (corporate/company) ownership structure


Explanation:
I beg to differ, or at least to present a second valid option, although it's post-grading:

The person may remain in continuous employment while company ownership changes due to merger or acquisition by another corporate entity. So in this case it's not the employee moving on to another company but the co. itself undergoing a change.
