Because he lied to them instead of for them.
But what he lied about is probably bigger news.
This has corporate PR speak all over it, but it is clear that it was circumventing the desires of the Board, and the chairman of the Board steps down as well.

If I had to guess, about how interested he was in keeping it non-profit in spirit. Which direction he believed in, I have no idea. I don't know him or the board. The statement sounds like the board is leaning toward non-profit behavior, but I don't believe a company who merely says "do no evil".
