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 333-71113) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 1999.

         On December 31, 2001, The Freeman Cosmetic Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”) was merged with and into The Dial Corporation Future Investment Plan, with the plan resulting from the merger being named The Dial Corporation Future Investment Plan. As a result of the merger, the Company has ceased making periodic allocations of its common stock under (and pursuant to) 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.
