LDAP is an access protocol to an X.500 directory.

In terms of the directory tree, no.  An entry can have one and
only one parent.

There are, however, other ways of representing such.  For
example, the entry for Company C could contain an attribute,
such as "owner" which contained the names of the owning
company entries.

dn: o=Company C, c=PT
o: Company C
owner: o=Company A, c=PT
owner: o=Company B, c=PT
