UCB ready to swallow Schwarz

Germany's Schwarz Pharma is in talks to be taken over by Belgian drugmaker UCB.

"Schwarz Pharma AG is in negotiations with UCB S.A., Brussels concerning a business combination of both companies by an offer to all shareholders of Schwarz Pharma AG," it said in a statement.

"A finalisation of these talks is expected in near-term."

Talk of the mystery buyer being Pfizer has now receded.

UPDATE: The FT reports the sale costing 4.4 billion Euros.
