From the second link article:

The DLC sought for a time to identify itself with Obama's message and his campaign, but found itself relatively unwelcome there and the final move cements its place as a central force in Clintonism and the Clinton historical record.

The move may also resolve any debt the organization was coping with, and allow it to fold cleanly.
