Seems to me looking from outside, when you agreed for them to distribute your work via Pro, you entered into a subpublishing deal with them.
The advantages of subpublishing is that you have a third party looking out for your plays via radio, tv, film, ect...
ASCAP BMI are notorious for missing music play especially in foreign markets. So your subpublisher is looking at that and looking for places that the major PRO's don't even know where to look.
In the best cases it will mint you a lot of cash that would have gone unreported. In the worst case it just cost you money as you now have somebody just as a middle man.
