They did it to keep Arsenal from thinking that Bayern wanted him, kept the price down and it benefitted Bremen.

Guessing this may be similar in that for a little 'help', Bayern gets first crack in a year or two and Augsburg gets to pull a possible profit.

Because this is their largest transfer ever.
