Uber Technologies Inc will move forward with a major investment deal from SoftBank Group Corp and approved a slate of governance reforms that will limit the influence of co-founder Travis Kalanick and early backers. 

The 11-person board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve sweeping changes to the company’s power structure, the San Francisco-based company said. The plan would expand the size of the board to 17 seats, people familiar with the matter said.
