A ring-fenced body is not permitted to incur the F3prohibited financial institution exposure by virtue of paragraph (1) where, at the time the transaction was entered into, the ring-fenced body knew, or could reasonably be expected to have known, that the counterparty would become a relevant financial institution.

In this article, “prohibited financial institution exposure” means a financial institution exposure which would be prohibited under article 14(1) if it was not permitted under this article.
