Note(s): This table presents the regression results of the effect of co-opted board on acquisition performance with other control variables for young versus old CEO in Panel A, low versus high CEO vega in Panel B, short versus long CEO tenure in Panel C and female versus male CEO in Panel D. Robust two-tailed t-statistics clustered by firm are presented in parentheses. The superscripts ***, ** and * correspond to statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. We present the variable definitions in the  Appendix
