German term or phrase: Einzelverbriefung der Aktien
This term appears in the articles of incorporation of a German company that intends to act as a broker for financing, insurance, capital investments, and real estate:

"Der Anspruch auf Einzelverbriefung der Aktien ist ausgeschlossen."

Note that the company's capital stock is divided into "vinkulierte Namensaktien," which is the only form in which the corporation's shares will be issued.

issue of individual share certificates
Explanation:
"Shareholders' rights regarding the issue of individual share certificates will be excluded."

The fact that the company will issue registered shares with limited transferability (just in case you were looking for it...<g>) doesn't make a difference here - the reason why companies exclude the issue of individual certificates is operational cost: it's much more efficient to issue and deposit a global certificate with a securities depository. Title to individual holdings is vested by way of partial ownership of the global certificate; transfers work in the same way.

Claims to physical delivery of share certificates are excluded


Explanation:
The shares only exist as book entry with your broker, you own them in "street name" (yes, that's the word), rather than having the actual sheets of paper in your lock box. "Street name" holdings are the standard form of custodial ownership. Most companies don't even print the physical specimen anymore.
