They get paid to lend out their stock, so if they are committed "long-term" holders, they think it is a good way of making some extra money.
This strategy works well with a huge company like BHP or Telstra but with a small Co like DML, they are shooting themselves in the foot as it can devalue their investment.
UNLESS, they have allowed the shorting to depress the SP so they can buy cheaply and then call in the shorts to get the SP back up afterwards??
