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

(e) On September 21, 2009, Steiner Leisure Limited (the "Company") entered into an agreement with Leonard I. Fluxman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, whereby Mr. Fluxman surrendered all of his rights under 6,000 options (the "SEG Options") to purchase shares of common stock of the Company's Steiner Education Group, Inc. subsidiary ("SEG"), which SEG Options were granted to Mr. Fluxman in September 1999 under the SEG 1999 Stock Option Plan (the "SEG Plan"). These rights were surrendered in exchange for 26,876 restricted share units (the "Restricted Share Units"), each entitling Mr. Fluxman to receive a common share of the Company (collectively, the "Shares") upon vesting (the "Transaction"). Similar agreements were also entered into on the above date with the two other holders of options under the SEG Plan.

The determination of the number of Restricted Share Units issued to Mr. Fluxman was based on a valuation of SEG prepared by an independent valuation firm (the "Valuation") and is based on the closing price of the Shares on July 29, 2009 (the "Approval Date"), the date on which the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Transaction and the date on which the Company and Mr. Fluxman agreed to the Transaction, subject only to the determination of the number of Restricted Share Units to be issued to Mr. Fluxman based on the Valuation, which was finalized on the date of this report.

The Restricted Share Units are being issued under the Company's 2009 Incentive Plan and, generally, cannot be sold or otherwise transferred, and do not provide dividend or voting rights to the holder thereof with respect to the Shares, until one year from the Approval Date. The terms of the Restricted Share Units are more fully set forth in the Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement for the Transaction attached hereto as Exhibit 10.33, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
