"As part of Neumann’s settlement, he’s said to get to name two members of an expanded board of directors for WeWork. He will become a board observer and, through that pair of appointments, contribute to steering the company." Okay, I am not understanding this completely.

Is it because the company feels it's for their benefit or is there something else to it?
