Message

We aim to instill a cloud-based digital business platform and expand our services by practicing the thoughts expressed in the origin of our name.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our shareholders for their continued support. We hereby deliver the convocation notice for the 15th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Based on the spirit of "gratitude and happiness," the Broadleaf Group develops business applications specializing in a wide range of industries and contribute to customer business creation by providing better products and services.

As announced in our Medium-Term Management Plan (2022-2028), we plan to execute growth strategies to continue to achieve record profits in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 onwards. The fiscal year under review was the second year of the Medium-Term Management Plan, and it was the final year when we recorded a loss. However, financial results for the fiscal year under review significantly exceeded the previous fiscal year's results and entered a trend of increasing sales. The management team and all employees will continue to work as one to maintain the trend of increasing sales and achieve profitability in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

With respect to shareholder returns, we aim to pay our shareholders the maximum possible dividend, although we recorded a loss in the fiscal year under review.

For further details, please see our website listed on the next page.

We ask for our shareholders' continued support.

Origin of the Company Name

Representative Director, President and CEO

Kenji Oyama

We named the Company "Broadleaf" after a broad-leaf tree.

Many broad-leaf trees grow by having their leaves absorb sunlight in spring and summer. In winter, they shed their leaves and fruits to return nutrients to the ground. This cycle creates a field where they can co-exist in harmony with a wide variety of other plants and animals.

The name Broadleaf reflects our desire to take root in the land of businesses as a broad-leaf tree, bear many leaves, produce fruit, and continue growing into the future with all people including our customers.
