Note(s): This table presents the regression results of the effect of co-opted board on acquisition performance for high and low co-opted target board in Panel A and Panel B, respectively. 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
