I am not a lawyer, but I suspect it depends on technicalities and it cannot be the general rule.

Say that you licensed to a legal entity called "Faponthis LTD". If Faponthis LTD gets new shareholders, this does not change the rights and liabilities of the company itself.

(It may be different if you licensed to a network of sites and then one site exits the network because of a sale, especially if your licence language takes into account that scenario. That's hardly the norm AFAIK, though)
