Item 5.07.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 13, 2012, Steiner Leisure Limited (the "Company") held its 2012 annual meeting of shareholders (the "2012 Annual Meeting"). Below is a summary of the proposals and corresponding votes.

The first proposal was the election of two Class I directors to serve for terms of three years, until the Company's 2015 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and take office, unless, prior to that date, they have resigned or otherwise left office. Both Class I directors were elected by the Company's shareholders, with each director receiving votes as follows:

David S. Harris

12,267,715

588,435

There were 1,522,110 broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.

The second proposal was the approval of the 2012 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The principal reason for proposing the adoption of the Plan at this time was to replace the Company's 2009 Incentive Plan, which had insufficient common shares of the Company remaining available for making awards to the Company's officers, employees and directors. Upon approval of the Plan, the 2009 Incentive Plan was terminated, other than with respect to awards remaining outstanding thereunder.

The Plan, among other things, allows the Company to award share options, share appreciation rights and shares (including restricted shares, restricted share units and performance shares) and cash performance awards. There are 1,200,000 common shares of the Company available for issuance under the Plan.

Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan are (i) employees of the Company serving in managerial, administrative or professional positions, (ii) directors of the Company or (iii) consultants to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

The above summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2012 Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.37 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders pursuant to the following vote:
