Shares in Coca-Cola Amatil were placed in a trading halt on 23 October, pending an announcement on a "potential material transaction". Bloomberg has reported that the beverages group is in advanced talks with Coca-Cola European Partners regarding a takeover proposal that could be worth around $10bn. The Coca-Cola Company has a 30.4 per cent stake in CCA and a 19.3 per cent stake in CCEP, positioning it to play a key role in any deal that emerges. A takeover of Australia’s largest non-alcoholic beverage would most likely need to be approved by the Foreign Investment Review Board.
