RECENT EVENTS: DEREGISTRATION

         This Post-Effective Amendment relates to 150,000 shares of common stock of The Dial Corporation (the “Company”) registered on Registration Statement on Form S-8 (registration number 333-33696) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2000.

         On August 28, 2001, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement of even date, the Company and one of its affiliates (among other actions) sold all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sarah Michaels, LLC to FASMA, LLC. As a result of the sale of Sarah Michaels, the Company has ceased making periodic allocations of its common stock under (and pursuant to) the Sarah Michaels, LLC Capital Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”).

         Accordingly, the Company has terminated offerings of its common stock under the Plan pursuant to the Registration Statement and is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to remove (and hereby does remove) from registration all shares of its common stock registered on the Registration Statement which remain unsold.
