Note(s): This table presents the PSM results of co-opted board and acquisition performance with other control variables. Panel A reports the mean differences between the control group and matched group. Panel B reports the regression estimates using these two groups. The superscripts ***, ** and * correspond to statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. We present the variable definitions in the  Appendix
