(NASDAQ: CHTP) ("Chelsea" or the "Company") on behalf of its shareholders. H. Lundbeck A/S ("Lundbeck") and Chelsea announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Lundbeck will acquire Chelsea.  Under the terms of the agreement, Chelsea shareholders shall receive $6.44 per share in cash, as well as CVRs that may pay up to an additional $1.50 upon achievement of certain commercial milestones related to NORTHERA's commercial performance in the period 2015-2017.
