FRANKFURT -(Dow Jones)- German specialty pharmaceuticals company Schering AG ( SHR) said Wednesday that it plans to acquire the 88% of U.S. biotechnology company Collateral Therapeutics Inc. (CLTX) it doesn't already own, in a stock- for-stock transaction valued at $140 million.

It said it will swap its own American Depositary Receipts for Collateral shares at a rate of one Schering ADR for 0.1847 Collateral shares.

Schering said it expects the deal to be closed during the third quarter of 2002, pending approval from regulatory authorities and a number of Collateral shareholders.

Shareholders owning 26.7% of Collateral stock have already agreed to the sale, Schering said in a statement.
