(Art. 110 Fin­MIA)

the col­lat­er­al to be ex­changed would amount to less than CHF 500,000;
b.
small non-fin­an­cial coun­ter­parties are in­volved in the trans­ac­tion.

3 If one of the coun­ter­parties to a de­riv­at­ives trans­ac­tion is a covered bond is­suer or a leg­al en­tity of a cov­er pool for covered bonds, that coun­ter­party may, sub­ject to the con­di­tions set out in Art­icle 86 para­graph 3, agree with its coun­ter­party that:
