You could do:

names(which(rowSums(table(df))>1))
[1] "3" "6"  # Companies 3 and 6 have more than 1 share class
 

or even

subset(aggregate(.~company, unique(df), length), `share class`>1)

  company share class
3       3           2
5       6           2

df <- structure(list(company = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L, 6L, 6L), `share class` = c("a", 
"a", "a", "b", "a", "a", "b")), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
-7L))
