U.S. SEC to extend filing date for some affected by storm

(Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it was extending the deadline for filings and other obligations for U.S. companies affected by Hurricane Sandy.

The SEC said requests to postpone filings would be handled on a case-by-case basis, and that it would allow companies or individuals scheduled to file with the SEC between October 29 and November 20 an extension until Nov 21. r.reuters.com/rev73t
