I think when people move to a new company and they contributed on
behalf of or with the approval of their prior company the prior
company still deserves the credit.
Since credit is usually given by using the company's email address I
think retaining the old addresses is better.
It is possible to add exception ;-) (and for some people, there is 2 entry on "AUTHORS"

For others, it is ok for you ? i can continue my work ?
