If they decide to merge SHLDQ with another company, using the NOLs to value SHLDQ shares.... let's say Seritage merges with SHLDQ, that 70% would raise his stake in Seritage over 50%.
I am not saying this is going to happen, but Lampert owning these shares makes the chances he merges them much greater, instead of letting them go to zero.
