If I remember correctly there are bounds available for the changes in the
eigenvalues, for general A and B.  In general I don't think it is possible 
to give exact new eigenvalues.

You could try any of the following for more details:

J.H Wilkinson - The algebraic eigenvalue problem (1965)
Golub and Van Loan - Matrix Computations, 2nd edition (1989)

Hope this is of some help.
