Haven't heard of Quovadx Inc. (NASDAQ: QVDX)? It really doesn't matter for investors anymore. The company is going private.

Actually, the company is a hodgepodge of IT divisions – such as in healthcare and even programming tools. Because of its complexity, the buyout deal was a bit convoluted.

One buyer, Premier, bought a healthcare division, whereas Battery Ventures bought the rest of the company. In fact, the valuation was pretty low (at about 1.1 times revenues).

Well, Quovadx blinked – a little. The company has agreed to boost its offer by 2% or $3.20 per share.

That's not much but that might be the last for shareholders. The current stock price is $3.11 per share.
