it being specified that

English translation: we wish to make specifically clear that

English language (monolingual) [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: it being specified that
Here is the context:

[....]or is under common control with, or is controlled by such person, it being specified that when used in relation to a fund, portfolio companies held or managed by or on behalf of
such fund shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate.

Could you help explain the phrase "it being specified that" here?
Can it be understood as "specifically" or "it is understood that"?

Thanks in advance.

Selected answer:we wish to make specifically clear that
Explanation:
This kind of impersonal construction is common in this kind of 'legal' language.

It just means that they feel it necessary to specifically clarify the point that follows, which might not be implicitly understood, but is important enough to be worth underlining.
