The Aegan Group was founded in 1970 by Sam and Kel Aegan, two brothers from Sačia, for the purpose of selling interpreters to local microcomputer manufacturers. Eventually, with the Tierradorian technology boom of the 70s and 80s, and the launch of Aegan DOS and Aegan Doors, Aegan rose to one of the largest IT companies in the world. The company launched its [[w:Initial public offering|initial public offering]] (IPO) in 1989 and saw steady increase in their stock price for the first few years, despite the ongoing [[1993 Tierradorian Financial Crisis|financial crisis]]. On July 12, 2004, Aegan stock skyrocketed by 35%, adding ₽199 billion to its market cap, making it the largest one-day stock increase in Tierradorian history. The company has produced 2 billionaires along with 11,000 millionaires throughout its 63-year history. Since the late 2000s, it has increasingly diversified from the operating system market and has made a number of corporate acquisitions, the largest being the acquisition of Employer.com for ₽23.2 billion in December 2012, followed by their acquisition of VidCall Technologies for $9.5 billion in May 2008. | |||
