boasts new seats abore de nouveaux sièges

Explanation:
From the wording of the whole sentence, I very strongly suspect a typo for 'boasts', in which case I would propose 'arborer' as one possible verb ('boasting' in this sense came up in an EN > FR question just the other day!)

As CMJ has so rightly pointed out, in my eagerness to find the correct term, I omitted to point out what I would in any case would have been self-evident to Asker, that this is just one of those 'padding' words that does not need to be over-translated; as CMJ says, it is probably better to go back to the underlying meaning, which is simply 'has', and then work back up the padding scale again from there in FR, to arrive at a document of equivalent/appropriate register and style.
