AME Inc., a leading post-production concern for the movie and television industries, accepted a sweetened, $38-million takeover offer from a group led by the Burbank company’s founder and chairman, Andrew M. McIntyre. AME signed a letter of intent to go private after McIntyre, who last month offered $11.50 a share for the 56% of AME he doesn’t already own, raised his bid to $13.75 a share. The deal remains subject to approval by AME’s directors and shareholders. The stock of AME, which transfers film to videotape and provides other services for mass distribution of movie and TV programs, rose $1.125 a share, to $12.625, in over-the-counter trading.
