Is this newsworthy? A breakup fee like this is fairly standard in M&A transactions; in the case of two public companies or where there might be anti-trust action, it's meaningful. In this case, it seems highly unlikely that anything would block this transaction between two private companies, and if Facebook discovered anything adverse enough to potentially break up the deal, they'd probably choose to look past it or renegotiate the price.
