This post-effective amendment (this “Amendment”), filed by New Alberto-Culver LLC, the company formerly known as Alberto-Culver Company (the “Company”), deregisters 48,049 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $.22 par value per share (“Common Stock”), that had been registered for issuance under the Alberto-Culver 401(k) Savings Plan on the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 4, 1999 (File No. 333-70067) (the “Registration Statement”) and remaining unsold upon the termination of the sales of shares covered by the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2006, as amended, among the Company, New Aristotle Company (“Merger Sub”), Sally Holdings, Inc., New Sally Holdings, Inc. (“New Sally”) and CDRS Acquisition LLC (the “Investment Agreement”), Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Sally, merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Sally (the “Company Merger”). On November 16, 2006, in connection with the Company Merger, each share of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company was converted into one share of New Sally common stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement. The Company was then contributed to New Aristotle Holdings, Inc. (which subsequently changed its name to Alberto-Culver Company) (“New Alberto-Culver”), and New Sally distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Alberto-Culver’s common stock to stockholders of New Sally. As a result, the Company has terminated all offerings of its Common Stock pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in its Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all shares of its Common Stock under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the effective time of the Company Merger.
