The cool part of this sale is that Beohemian F.C. gets a 10% sell on fee. Club was in dire straights, became fan owned, and have basically righted the ship after clearing millions in debt from. This is a massive amount of money for a League of Ireland club, their typical annual revenues are half of the expected fee.
But more than anything, it's the fact it's a clause from ten years ago that they're cashing in on. A sale at any point in the non-premier league years would probably see a fee in the tens of thousands, and have just been lost in all the takeover costs and debt clearing. Now it can all go into building the club more, which is pretty cool.
