Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)  The compensation committee (the "Committee") of the board of directors of Steiner Leisure Limited (the "Company") approved a new employment and severance agreement with Robert C. Boehm, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Company (the "New Employment Agreement").

The New Employment Agreement was executed by the Company and Mr. Boehm on December 4, 2012. The New Employment Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2013, and succeeds the previous employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Boehm that expires pursuant to its terms on December 31, 2012. The New Employment Agreement has an "evergreen" term of one year ending December 31, 2013, which will automatically renew on an annual basis for one year terms ending December 31st of each successive year, unless and until either party elects during any given year to provide a notice of non-renewal. Among other things, the New Employment Agreement also provides for:

    1. A base salary in the amount of $370,847 which will be subject to review and possible increase each year in the discretion of the Board.
    2. The opportunity to earn an annual incentive bonus based on performance criteria determined annually by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The incentive bonus can range from 25% to 50% of Mr. Boehm's then current base salary target bonus, depending on the extent to which the performance criteria are met.
    3. The right to be granted equity awards from time to time as determined by the Committee. Pursuant to the New Employment Agreement, Mr. Boehm received a grant of 12,000 restricted share units in November 2012, one-fifth of which restricted share units vest on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant, in anticipation of the execution of the New Employment Agreement, which grant was in addition to Mr. Boehm's annual equity award on that date.
    4. An opportunity to participate in the Company's benefit programs made available by the Company to its executive officers, including, without limitation, group health, disability and other insurance coverage, participation in the Company's 401(k) plan, and an automobile allowance. The Company will provide Mr. Boehm with term life insurance with a death benefit of four times the sum of the then current base salary plus the target bonus amount.
    5. Certain payments in the event of Mr. Boehm's death, disability, termination by the Company without cause or termination by Mr. Boehm for good reason (as defined in the New Employment Agreement). Among other benefits, for termination by the Company without cause, or by Mr. Boehm for good reason, Mr. Boehm would be paid a lump sum severance amount equal to two (2) times his then base salary plus the target bonus amount. The New Employment Agreement also provides for a "double trigger" severance payment, in the event of a termination by the Company without cause or by Mr. Boehm for good reason within two years following a change in control of the Company, of a lump sum equal to two and one half (2.5) times his then base salary plus the target bonus amount.
    6. Restrictions on Mr. Boehm's use of confidential information of the Company and on competitive activities by Mr. Boehm during and after the term of the New Employment Agreement.

The above summary of the New Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.38 and incorporated herein by reference.
