                    [Title] => SEC welcomes PET Plans’ move to file for rehab
                    [Summary] => The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said it would not get in the way of pre-need firm PET Plans Inc. as long as the latter’s rehabilitation plan gets the approval of majority of its planholders.  


A high-ranking SEC official said the commission welcomes the move taken by the pre-need firm to file a petition for corporate rehabilitation and its ongoing efforts to reach out to planholders and explain its predicament.


Under its rehabilitation plan, PET Plans seeks to convert all outstanding pre-need plans into a professionally managed mutual fund.
