New Firm to Make Bid for AME:...

New Firm to Make Bid for AME: A newly formed company agreed to make a bid to buy AME Inc., a video post-production concern in Burbank, by May 2 and to offer at least $10 a share. The new firm, AME Holding Co., also received an option to buy the 44% stake in AME Inc. held by AME’s founder and chairman, Andrew M. McIntyre, for $10 a share, or $22 million. Earlier this year, McIntyre offered $13.75 a share for his company, but the bid collapsed. AME Holding is led by Lawrence J. Berkowitz, former chief executive of IDC Services Inc., a payroll company.
