Leventis, also a director of Alpheus Group, a private asset management company overseeing assets for private clients and charitable foundations, sold the shares at a price of 2,467.25p for a total of £2,467,245.86.
Coca-Cola posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit and sales report on 14 February, after increased sales of teas, coffees and vitamin water, offset dwindling sales of soft drinks.
On that occasion, the industry giant said it was planning to use cash it held overseas and savings generated from the US corporate tax rate changes in December to reduce its debt by $7bn, making it the latest company to take advantage of the new tax law to bolster its balance sheet.
As of 1630 GMT, shares had ticked up 0.09% to $44.06 each.
