Dutch term

obligatie aan order

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) types of bond
Context is articles of association of a Belgian company (bvba).
'De vennootschap kan geen lening aangaan door uitgifte van obligaties aan order of aan toonder of van in aandelen converteerbare obligaties, en evenmin kan zij warrants uitgeven. Wel kan de vennootschap obligaties op naam uitgeven.'
So it isn't registered bonds because that's the last term, obligaties op naam.
I can't find anything anywhere!

In my opinion, any negotiable instrument or Bill of Exchange which is not to bearer (aan toonder) has to be registered (op naam).

to order

Jur Lex tranlates
"aan order" as "to order" and
"betaalbaar aan order" as "payable to order" and
"cheque aan order" as "cheque to order".

This may seem very consistent, but I cannot find any confirmation that this translation is correct.

However, there is some sort of a confirmation of the possible existence of such a thing as "obligatie aan order" - see link below - "Vorderingen aan order (tussenvorm, achterop document naam en handtekening). Question is: are such bonds issued elsewhere? After some web research I suspect probably not.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : that's not a very helpful entry to put in the glossary. it's not really the answer./bearer bond is a translation according to Belgian sources, not Jurlex/read her note. order or bearer bond. not bond to order

I have tried to delete it but that appears impossible. (Editing doesn't make sense, because the term 'order or bearer bonds' is not a translation of the term asked.) "Bearer bond" (not asker's pick) is indeed a translation of "obligatie aan toonder".

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for the useful website source. Our colleague 'Writeaway' also helpfully came up with a book result showing the existence of 'vorderingen aan order': Collective Security Arrangements: A Comparative Study of Dutch, - Google Books Result by Angélique Thiele - 2003 ‘Security over order or bearer debt instruments (vorderingen aan order or toonder) is created in the same way as a pledge over movable assets …’ books.google.com/books?isbn=9013008909. On the basis of 'order or bearer instruments' in this book I decided on 'order or bearer bonds' here. Another book result confirmed what you found, that 'aan order' is somewhat similar to 'aan toonder': Ph Van Huizen: Inleiding Handelsrecht p. 51: “- de obligatie aan order of toonder. Verder kan nog worden genoemd de verzekeringspolis aan order of toonder. Hierbij zij aangetekend dat de polis aan order of toonder de houder legitimeert als verzekerde.” "
