What happens to my pending I-140 (in Appeal) when my previous employer (A) was acquired by new company (C).

[BMR413]

My previous employer (A) appealed my I-140 after denial (Ability to pay) a year ago, and I left the company and working for my current employer (B).

During this time, my previous employer (A) was acquired (Asset purchase) by new company (C), and I was not working for either of these companies at the time of acquisition.

My questions are

1. can new company (C) continue/restore my I-140 and get the approval?

2. Can I port my priority date for future PERM Labor/I-140 cases?

3. What is the best possible option/suggestion to restore my I-140?

Thank you for any valuable advise. Please let me know if anyone was in same boat, come out successful.  I really appreciate any helpful response.
