Here's what I found. I don't know if it will answer your question, though.
Affiliate
Two companies are affiliated when one owns less than a majority stake of the other, or when both are subsidiaries of a third company. Or, generally, any association between two companies that is short of a parent-subsidiary tie. See subsidiary.
Subsidiary
A company of which more than 50% of its voting shares are owned by another corporation, called the parent company. Compare with affilliate.
