Coca-Cola Co. said Monday that it would exercise a change-of-control clause, allowing it to acquire SABMiller PLC's former interest in the soft-drink company's largest African bottling company.

The move comes after Anheuser-Busch InBev NV on Monday closed its acquisition of SABMiller PLC to create a beer behemoth with a large African footprint. As of late August, SABMiller had a 54% stake in Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, which distributes about 40% of Coke's volumes in the continent.

Atlanta-based Coke wants to keep AB InBev at arm's length amid speculation the Belgian beer giant eventually could try to acquire Coke. AB InBev also is a major bottler of nonalcoholic drinks in Latin America for PepsiCo Inc., Coke's longtime rival.
