Test statistics are calculated according to Formula (5). The numbers for cumulative distribution function provide the quantiles for a standard normal distribution. This means for the numbers close to 100%, abnormal returns are significantly positive; for the numbers close to 0% abnormal returns are significantly negative. ***, ** and * represent a confidence level lower than 1%, 5% and 10% for the significance of negative abnormal return, respectively
