At the close of business on that date, theCompany had 16,254,108 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to onevote on each matter considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting for each Common Share held of record as ofthe Record Date. Common Shares represented by a properly executed proxy, if such proxy is received in time andnot revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on such proxy. If noinstructions are indicated, shares represented by proxy will be voted "for" the election, as directors of the Company,of the nominees named in the proxy to serve as the Class III directors until the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders,"for" approval of the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as independentauditors for the Company for fiscal year 2008 and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other matter whichmay properly be presented at the Annual Meeting.This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are first being mailed to Company shareholders onor about May 5, 2008.Any holder of Common Shares giving a proxy in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement has thepower to revoke the proxy prior to its use. A proxy can be revoked (i) by an instrument of revocation delivered priorto the Annual Meeting to the Secretary of the Company, (ii) by a duly executed proxy bearing a later date than thedate of the proxy being revoked or (iii) at the Annual Meeting, if the shareholder is present and elects to vote inperson. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not serve to revoke the proxy. All written notices of revocationof proxies should be addressed as follows: Robert C. Boehm, Secretary, c/o <strong>Steiner</strong> Management Services, LLC, 770South Dixie Highway, Suite 200, Coral Gables, Florida 33146.The holders of a majority of Common Shares issued and outstanding on the Record Date, whether presentin person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting will be required for the election of theClass III directors. Approval of Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of theoutstanding Common Shares entitled to vote and be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Aproperly executed proxy marked "Withhold Authority" with respect to the election of one or more directors will notbe voted with respect to such director or directors, although the Common Shares represented by the proxy will betreated as "present" and "entitled to vote." For the purpose of determining the vote required for approval of ProposalTwo, Common Shares held by shareholders who abstain from voting will be treated as being "present" and "entitledto vote" on the matter and, thus, an abstention has the same legal effect as a vote against the matter.A "broker non-vote" refers to Common Shares represented in person or by proxy by a broker or nomineewhere such broker or nominee (i) has not received voting instructions on a particular matter from the beneficialBowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 5 May 2, 2008 12:16:28


owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on suchmatter. In the case of a broker non-vote, such shares will not be treated as "present" and "entitled to vote" on thematter and, thus, a broker non-vote or the withholding of a proxy's authority will have no effect on the outcome ofthe vote on the matter.PROPOSAL ONE - ELECTION OF DIRECTORSThe number of directors of the Company, as determined by the board of directors pursuant to theCompany's Amended and Restated Articles of Association (the "Articles"), is seven. In accordance with the Articles,the board of directors of the Company consists of three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III, consisting of two, twoand three directors, respectively.

The Class III directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting, the Class I directors are to be elected atthe 2009 annual meeting of shareholders and the Class II directors are to be elected at the 2010 annual meeting ofshareholders.

The board of directors has no reason to believe that any of the nomineeswill be unable or unwilling to serve as a director.If Mr. Preston, the sole independent director standing for election at the Annual Meeting, fails to be electedat the Annual Meeting, the board would, as soon as practicable, appoint an additional independent director to serveuntil the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders so that the Company would be in compliance with the Nasdaq Rules'requirement that the Company have a majority of independent directors.Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 6 May 2, 2008 12:16:282

The board also has determined that each member of the Audit Committeequalifies as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations.Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's internal controls, the financial reportingprocess and preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The independent auditors areresponsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordancewith auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and issuing a report thereon. The independentauditors are also responsible for auditing the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee ofSponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee'sresponsibility is to oversee these processes.The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the Company's independent auditors,Ernst & Young, the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 and the Company'saudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Management represented tothe Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management also represented to the Audit Committeethat, as of December 31, 2007, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective. The AuditCommittee also discussed with the Company's independent auditors the matters required to be discussed byStatement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended by Statement onAuditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications).The Audit Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures and letter required byIndependence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) on (i) that firm'sindependence as required by the Independence Standards Board and (ii) the matters required to be communicatedunder generally accepted auditing standards. The Audit Committee also has discussed with the independent auditorstheir independence from the Company and has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to theCompany is compatible with the independence of the auditors.Based upon the review and discussions referenced above, the Audit Committee recommended to the boardof directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company be included in the Company's AnnualReport on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.Members of the Audit Committee:Steven J.

Thiscompensation approach targets total compensation at the 75th percentile of a group of companies identified with theassistance of the Compensation Committee's independent compensation advisor, with the opportunity to earnadditional compensation for strong Company-wide and, in certain cases, business unit, performance. At that level ofcompensation, the Committee believes that its executive compensation program is effective at attracting, retainingand rewarding executive officers responsible for leading the Company in the achievement of its business goals. TheCompany believes that this approach is consistent with its ultimate goal of maximizing shareholder value.The compensation payable to four of the named executives is based on the employment agreementsdescribed below under "Employment Agreements." Those agreements, among other things, establish minimum basesalaries (in each case the salary in effect as of the effective date of each agreement), the performance targets for nonequityincentive compensation and general rights to receive equity awards. The employment agreement for theChief Executive Officer also establishes the minimum amounts of annual awards of certain equity compensation.Mr. Harrington does not currently have (and for 2007 did not have) an employment agreement with theCompany. He and the Company are currently in discussions with respect to such an agreement. The performancetargets upon which Mr. Harrington's non-equity incentive compensation was based for 2007 are reflected in note (1)to the "2007 Grants of Plan-Based Awards" table, below.Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 16 May 2, 2008 12:16:2912


Compensation PhilosophyThe Compensation Committee believes that the Company's goal of maximizing shareholder value dependsto a significant extent on the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers. In order to do so,the Compensation Committee believes that the Company is required to offer attractive compensation packages.The Compensation Committee also believes that shareholder value is enhanced by aligning the interests ofits executive officers with the interests of its shareholders. In the opinion of the Compensation Committee, thecompensation arrangements for the named executives and other executive officers of the Company promote such analignment of interests by offering (i) non-equity incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses tied to specifiedCompany and business unit performance targets and (ii) the opportunity to receive equity awards under the EquityPlan, including equity incentive awards tied to specified Company and business unit performance targets.These forms of at-risk incentive compensation opportunities represent a very significant portion of the totalcompensation to the executive officers of the Company and are linked directly to the Company's performance.Total compensation is targeted with a mix of both cash and equity-based compensation. The CompensationCommittee chooses cash compensation to be competitive for recruitment and retention of top talent. TheCompensation Committee chooses equity-based compensation for similar reasons, but also to create a linkagebetween shareholder reward and executive reward. The committee believes that the portion of equity-basedcompensation, vesting over three years, creates this linkage. This is especially true viewed over successive years; atany given time, zero, two-thirds or one-third of shares awarded, as the case may be, are not yet vested. The relativeamounts of each element are based on input from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation advisorand the collective judgment of the Compensation Committee.The Compensation Committee further believes that an executive officer's total compensation opportunityshould be commensurate with position and responsibility. Accordingly, the proportion of total compensationattributable to variable, at-risk elements increases with successively higher levels of responsibility at the Company.Thus, the most senior executive officers of the Company who are responsible for the development and execution ofthe Company's strategic plans have the largest portion of their compensation tied to variable incentives, includingequity-based compensation, in which ultimate value is dependent on changes that impact shareholder value.The determination of the target amount of equity awards for each of the named executives for 2007 wasbased on taking the total amount of targeted compensation (i.e., the compensation payable if all of the performancetargets applicable to incentive awards are achieved) for such individual that was deemed appropriate by theCompensation Committee and subtracting from that amount the proposed base salary and targeted short-termincentive compensation. The aggregate value of the two equity award components was intended to equal theremainder from that subtraction.Components of Compensation - OverviewThe Company's compensation program for its executive officers consists of four components: base salary,non-equity incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses, awards of restricted shares and performance shares(through January 2006, equity awards included share options) under the Equity Plan, and various employee benefits(including, among other things, automobile allowances, medical and disability insurance and 401(k) plan benefits).The program places a significant percentage of the Company's executive officers' compensation at risk, rewardingthe executives if the performance of the Company warrants such a reward and, accordingly, encouraging thebuilding of shareholder value.Categories of Named Executives' CompensationThe Compensation Committee views the general parameters of compensation for the named executives inthree categories. The first compensation category is for the Chief Executive Officer. This category reflects theoverall responsibilities of the senior executive officer of the Company and the applicable compensation isdetermined accordingly.Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 17 May 2, 2008 12:16:2913


The second category, for Messrs. Boehm, Fusfield and Lazarus, reflects, for Messrs. Boehm and Lazarus,that their respective responsibilities entail work for the Company itself as well as for each of its divisions, and forMr. Fusfield, responsibilities as chief operating officer of the Company's principal business unit (Maritime). Foreach of these three individuals, the base salary and the threshold percentages for the achievement of the performancetargets relating to non-equity incentive compensation (potential cash bonus) are the same. Equity grants (restrictedshares) and equity incentive compensation (performance shares) for each of those three named executives includesthe same number of shares to be awarded, or potentially awarded, if the performance targets are achieved. Thedifference in the scope of operating responsibilities between Messrs. Boehm and Lazarus, on the one hand, and Mr.Fusfield, on the other, is reflected in the fact that Mr. Fusfield's non-equity incentive compensation and equityincentive compensation are weighted substantially toward the achievement of specified performance targets by theMaritime Division. Those compensation components for Messrs. Boehm and Lazarus, as well as for Mr. Fluxman,are tied exclusively to Company-wide performance.The third category, for Mr. Harrington, also reflects the fact that he is the senior operating officer of aCompany business unit (Elemis Products). While that business unit is smaller than the Maritime Division, the basesalary of Mr. Harrington, who is based in the United Kingdom, is higher than that of Messrs. Boehm, Fusfield andLazarus. This difference reflects primarily the British Pounds Sterling (in which Mr. Harrington is paid) to U.S.Dollar (in which the Company pays its U.S. - based employees) exchange rate. This higher base salary alsoprovides the potential for a higher (in U.S. Dollars) non-equity incentive bonus, provided that the pertinentperformance targets are met or exceeded. Mr. Harrington's non-equity incentive compensation performance targetthresholds are the same as those for Messrs. Boehm, Fusfield and Lazarus, and Mr. Harrington's equity incentivecompensation includes the same number of shares to be awarded, or potentially awarded, if the performance targetsare achieved, as for those individuals. As is the case with Mr. Fusfield, the performance targets on which Mr.Harrington's non-equity incentive compensation and equity compensation are based are weighted heavily toward theachievement of specified performance targets of Mr. Harrington's business unit.Compensation Determination ProcessThe Compensation Committee makes compensation determinations for the named executives and the otherexecutive officers of the Company annually, typically in the fourth quarter of the year preceding the year inquestion. In connection with those determinations for 2007, the Compensation Committee receivedrecommendations from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and advice from Towers Perrin, an outsidecompensation consultant (the "Consultant"). The Chief Executive Officer's involvement in the compensationdetermination process was limited to making such recommendations.The Compensation Committee retained the Consultant at the Company's expense, to provide objective,independent analysis and advice to the committee with respect to compensation of the named executives and otherexecutive officers of the Company. The Consultant was retained in each of 2005 and 2006 to assess thecompetitiveness of the compensation of those officers so that appropriate compensation levels for 2006 and 2007,respectively, could be determined. The Consultant also had been retained to provide advice with respect tocompensation of the Company's executive officers in 2003. Other than as described above, the Consultant was notasked to provide any other services for the committee or the Company.The Consultant was advised of the Company's compensation philosophy of providing total compensationfor the named executives in amounts placing them, as a group, in the 75th percentile of total compensation ofofficers in similar positions at comparable companies. For 2007, the Consultant reviewed base salary, annualincentives and long-term incentives of officers in positions similar to those of the Company's executive officers,with a variety of companies, including, for Mr. Harrington, United Kingdom-based companies.In connection with its report to the Compensation Committee in 2005 relating to potential executivecompensation for 2006, the Consultant identified a peer group of 14 companies (which were identified in the proxystatement for the Company's 2007 annual meeting of shareholders) on which its advice was based. For 2007, basedon discussions with the Consultant, the Compensation Committee determined that a broader view of othercompanies' compensation approaches with respect to officers in positions similar to the named executives wouldbetter reflect the labor market and provide more accurate data on which the committee could make its compensationdecisions. Accordingly, the Consultant's advice was based on its analysis of the Consultant's database of 800companies and the database of another outside compensation consultant, consisting of 2,500 companies. TheBowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 18 May 2, 2008 12:16:2914


compensation information determined from an analysis of those databases was adjusted to reflect the difference inthe revenues of the Company as compared to those companies. The committee has determined that, due to the variednature and multitude of the companies on which the Consultant relied in its analysis, it would not be materiallyuseful or practicable to include a list of those companies in this discussion.Components of Compensation - AnalysisBase Salary. Base salary is subject to the "floor" established in the employment agreements for eachnamed executive with such an agreement (the salary in effect as of the effective date of the agreement). As part ofthe Compensation Committee's determination of overall compensation for the named executives, consideration isgiven to percentage increases in base salaries.Overall, salary targets for the named executives and other executive officers are set based on theCompany's budgets for the upcoming year (which budgets are required to be approved by the CompensationCommittee to the extent they affect compensation of executive officers). Typically, there is a general percentageincrease in base salary for all the named executives, with individual variances based on relative performance (merit)or the need to bring the base salary of one or more individuals to peer levels.For 2007, the percentage increase was 6.0% for Mr. Fluxman and 7.5% for the other named executives.This was part of the total compensation package for the year and was intended to bring their total compensation intoline with what the Compensation Committee deemed appropriate in light of the advice of the Consultant. The largerincrease in base salary for the named executives other than Mr. Fluxman reflected the recommendation of Mr.Fluxman that those executives be recognized for the Company's strong performance in 2006.Short-term Incentive Compensation. In addition to base salary, the employment agreements for the namedexecutives provide them with the opportunity to earn additional cash compensation if the annual Company and, inthe case of Messrs. Fusfield and Harrington, annual business unit, targets are met or exceeded. The types ofperformance targets for, and the threshold, target and maximum amounts of, these awards are established in theemployment agreements for the named executives, where applicable, and for Mr. Harrington, for 2007, by theCompensation Committee. These awards are mathematically interpolated between threshold and maximum amountsand, in general, no positive or negative discretion is applicable to the award determination.The Company-wide performance measure for non-equity incentive compensation awards is the earningsper share of the Company. For Messrs. Fluxman, Boehm and Lazarus, the performance target for receipt of nonequityincentive compensation is the achievement of the budgeted earnings per share of the Company for the year inquestion. The Committee believes that the targeted earnings per share budgeted for 2007 was an appropriateperformance target in light of the challenges to achieve the growth reflected in that amount in all of the Company'sbusiness units, including the significant budgeted growth in some of the Company's business units.For Messrs. Fusfield and Harrington, that performance target also is a basis for the receipt of non-equityincentive compensation, but that performance target only constituted, for 2007, 15% and 20%, respectively of thetarget bonus for each of those individuals. The balance of the performance targets for the non-equity incentivecompensation for Messrs. Fusfield and Harrington were based on the net income of the operating units which theylead. For Mr. Fusfield, those operating units were the Company's Maritime Division, upon which most of hispotential short-term incentive compensation was based, and the Company's day spa in Coral Gables, Florida (the"Day Spa"), upon which a small portion of such potential compensation was based. For Mr. Harrington, theoperating units were those conducting operations of the Company relating to its Elemis Limited subsidiary.The committee believes that the net income performance target amount for the Maritime Divisionrepresented a challenging performance target because, among other things, it reflected a budgeted increase in growthfor that division, notwithstanding the fact that commission payments under agreements with cruise lines, thedivision's principal cost element, was scheduled to increase for 2007.The committee believes that the amount of the Day Spa performance target was appropriate in light of thechallenges to achieving that target in light of the competition, increasing costs and other factors affecting thatbusiness. For 2007, the budgeted net income target for those operations was not achieved.Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 19 May 2, 2008 12:16:2915


Similarly, the net income performance target amount for Elemis Limited-related operations for 2007represented a challenging target to achieve because it reflected significant budgeted growth in those operations. For2007, the budgeted net income target for those operations was not achieved.The Compensation Committee believes that weighting this incentive compensation heavily towardsearnings per share closely aligns the interests of the named executives with those of the shareholders because thatperformance measure often can be a key factor in determining shareholder value. The committee believes that theuse of the net income performance measure with respect to operating unit performance also is appropriate inaligning the interest of the named executives with those of the shareholders, since net income is the key determinantof earnings per share.These considerations also are reflected in the fact that the performance targets with respect to the long-termincentive compensation for 2007, described below, are similar to those for the 2007 short-term incentivecompensation.Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Long-term incentive compensation awards are designed to reward thenamed executives and other Company officers and employees for achievement of Company goals, which ultimatelyresult in increased shareholder value. These awards are equity-based to align the long-term interests of executiveofficers (and other award recipients) with those of shareholders. These awards are made by the CompensationCommittee under the Equity Plan. Certain information with respect to the Equity Plan is set forth below under"2004 Equity Incentive Plan."Annual equity incentive awards are typically made in the fourth quarter at the time that base salaries for thenamed executives and other executive officers of the Company for the following year are determined.Until the January 2006 equity award (which substituted for the award that normally would have been madein the fourth quarter of 2005), these annual equity awards consisted of share options and, beginning with the awardmade for 2005, restricted shares. Those awards vest in equal installments over three years and increase in valueonly, and to the extent that, the market price of the Common Shares increases.The December 2006 (for 2007) long-term equity incentive awards consisted of two components. Theprincipal component of the award was performance shares, the vesting of which (over three years) is dependent onthe achievement of performance targets similar (but, excluding with respect to Mr. Fusfield, the operations of theDay Spa) to those described above under "Short-Term Incentive Compensation." Those shares constitutedapproximately 70% of the targeted number of shares that comprised these long-term equity awards. The remainingapproximately 30% of the long-term incentive compensation awards for 2007 consisted of restricted shares that vestin equal installments over three years without regard to performance targets.While the Compensation Committee believes that both of these forms of long-term incentive compensationalign the interests of the named executives with those of the shareholders, the variance in the amounts of these twoforms of equity compensation reflect the Compensation Committee's intention of tying a significant portion of thenamed executives' compensation directly to specified company and business unit performance. This intention of theCompensation Committee was also reflected in the equity incentive awards made in December 2007 (for 2008) tothe named executives, which consist of the same types of awards, and in the same relative percentage amounts asthose made for 2007. The non-Company-wide performance target for 2008 for each of Messrs. Fusfield andHarrington is the operating income of the operations of the respective Company business unit (but, excluding withrespect to Mr. Fusfield, the operations of the Day Spa) for which he is responsible (with certain adjustments in thecase of Mr. Harrington). The Compensation Committee believes that this performance measure is appropriatebecause it closely aligns the performance of the respective business unit with the day-to-day operational influence ofits leader.Other Equity AwardsThe Compensation Committee also awards long-term equity compensation in the form of restricted shares,which vest equally over three years, in connection with the recruitment and retention of executive officers of theCompany. In 2007, the committee awarded restricted shares to Mr. Fusfield upon his entering into a newBowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 20 May 2, 2008 12:16:2916


employment agreement with the Company. Equity awards also have been made to certain executive officers at thetimes they commenced employment with the Company.Applicability of Section 162(m)Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), limits theannual corporate federal income tax deduction for compensation paid to the named executives to $1,000,000, unlessthe compensation qualifies as "performance based" and has been approved in advance by a vote of the Company'sshareholders. For 2007, the deductibility of the compensation of one of the named executives was subject to thislimitation on deductibility primarily because of certain grants of equity that are subject to this limitation. Thislimitation did not require the Company to pay U.S. federal income tax in 2007, however, because (i) a significantportion of the Company's income is not subject to U.S. income tax and, therefore, a significant portion of the namedexecutives' compensation is allocable to income not subject to U.S. income tax and (ii) there were sufficient netoperating losses available to the Company for that year to offset such loss of deductibility. The Company believesthat performance-based equity awards made under the Equity Plan, commencing with those made in December2007, will not be subject to the limitations under Section 162(m).Compensation Committee ReportThe Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the foregoing Compensation Discussion andAnalysis ("CD&A") with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committeerecommended to the board that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement.Members of the Compensation CommitteeDavid S.

In each case, the exercise price ofthe options is equal to the average of the high and low prices of a Common Share on the grant date.(2) The amounts in this column were determined by multiplying the number of Common Shares by $44.16, the closing priceof a Common Share on December 31, 2007.(3) The number of shares and the market value thereof reflected in these columns, respectively, are based on the number ofshares that may be awarded if the threshold performance targets are met.(4) Of these shares, 10,000 vested on March 24, 2008 and an additional 10,000 vest on March 24, 2009; 3,914 vest onDecember 5, 2008 and 3,915 vest on December 5, 2009; 4,251 vest on December 4, 2008, 4,250 vest on December 4,2009 and 4,251 vest on December 4, 2010.(5) Of these shares, 8,666 vested on January 31, 2008 and an additional 8,667 vest on January 31, 2009, as a result of the2006 performance target for the vesting of these shares having been achieved; 9,859 vested on March 5, 2008 and 9,859vest on each of December 5, 2008 and December 5, 2009, as a result of the 2007 performance target for these shareshaving been exceeded; and 9,731 vest on each of March 4, 2009, December 4, 2009 and December 4, 2010, if the 2008performance target for the vesting of these shares are achieved. The total of these amounts is greater than the amountreflected in the table because the latter reflects the amount of shares to be granted if the performance target in question isachieved, whereas the former reflects an amount in excess of the target amount of shares due to the performance targethaving been exceeded for 2007 (which excess amount was not yet determined or approved by the CompensationCommittee as of December 31, 2007, the date of the table).Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 30 May 2, 2008 12:16:3126

The options were exercised using net share settlement (shares that otherwise would have been receivedupon the exercise of options were used to cover the exercise price and were withheld to pay income tax).(3) The amounts in this column represent the restricted shares and performance shares that vested for each namedexecutive in 2007. Upon vesting, where applicable, the restrictions associated with these shares lapsed. Theamounts in this column do not take into account shares surrendered to satisfy the named executives' taxwithholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted shares.(4) The amounts in this column were calculated by multiplying the number of shares that vested in 2007 for eachnamed executive by the closing price of a Common Share on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of vesting.The amounts in this column do not take into account amounts paid by the named executives by means ofsurrender of shares to satisfy tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted shares.Potential Payments on Termination, Including After a Change in ControlThe information below reflects the incremental compensation that may be received by the namedexecutives (or their beneficiaries, as applicable) under their employment agreements and under certain insurancepolicies, premiums for which are paid by the Company, upon the termination of employment: (i) by the Companywithout cause, (ii) by the individual for cause, (iii) after a change in control of the Company, (iv) upon a nonrenewalof the agreement after its expiration, (v) on death, (vi) in connection with a disability, and (vii) inconnection with an illness (each a "Termination Event").The information below assumes that the Termination Event occurred on December 31, 2007, the last day ofthe Company's last fiscal year. Among the amounts reflected below are those based on the price of the CommonShares. For this purpose, the value of the shares is the $44.16 closing price of a Common Share on the NasdaqStock Market on December 31, 2007, the last trading day of the year.The amounts set forth in the table below (i) do not include any unpaid accrued amounts of compensationthat would have been payable to the named executives as of December 31, 2007, whether or not a TerminationEvent had occurred and (ii) are payable in a lump sum, except as indicated in the notes to the table.Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 32 May 2, 2008 12:16:3128

Under Mr. Fluxman’s30Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 34 May 2, 2008 12:16:32


employment agreement, the Company has agreed to reimburse him for the excise tax, as well as any excise andincome taxes and any interest or penalties thereon payable as a result of the excise tax reimbursement. Theamounts in the table are based on an excise tax rate of 20% and a federal income tax rate of 35% and includeemployment taxes.(5) Represents proceeds of a term life insurance policy, the premiums for which are paid by the Company.(6) Represents, for each named executive, the total of the monthly proceeds payable through age 65 under adisability insurance policy for which the Company reimburses the named executive for premium payments.Amounts under this heading represent the total maximum benefit for each named executive, even where theCompany only pays a portion of such benefit.(7) In addition to the termination payments set forth in this table, Mr. Fluxman is entitled to certain payments inconnection with his ownership of options to purchase shares of SEG. The exercisability of those optionsaccelerates in the event of, among other things, a change in control of SEG. In addition, under certaincircumstances upon the termination of employment of Mr. Fluxman with the Company, Mr. Fluxman has theright to require the Company to purchase the shares of SEG held by Mr. Fluxman at the time of suchtermination. The value of such shares would be agreed upon between Mr. Fluxman and SEG based on certainspecified methodology. Because the shares of SEG are not (and were not as of December 31, 2007) publiclytraded, and otherwise there has been no formal valuation thereof, no valuation with respect to such optionacceleration or share purchase is set forth in this table.(8) The named executives are entitled to the cash payments described above in note (1) upon a change in control ofthe Company, but only if the named executive terminates his employment upon or after the change in control.The named executives have rights to accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of a change in control ofthe Company without further action on their part. For share options, restricted shares (other than those grantedin 2004) and performance shares, acceleration occurs upon a change in control under the terms of the respectiveequity plans, grant agreements and/or, as the case may be, employment agreements.(9) These payments apply if the applicable agreement is not renewed on terms no less favorable than the existingagreement (for at least one year for Mr. Boehm). Payments upon non-renewal extend by one year the term ofthe post-employment non-competition obligation applicable to the named executive, other than in the case ofMr. Boehm's agreement.(10) These amounts are based on Mr. Boehm’s employment agreement with the Company that expired on December31, 2007. He entered into a new employment agreement with the Company effective January 1, 2008.Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider ParticipationMessrs. Harris and Preston and Ms. Cohen served as members of the Compensation Committee throughout2007. None of the members of the Compensation Committee has ever been an employee of the Company and noneof them has had a relationship, other than service on the board of directors, requiring disclosure in this ProxyStatement under applicable SEC regulations.

Such persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section16(a) reports they file.Based upon a review of such forms furnished to the Company and upon representations from certainpersons subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a), the Company is not aware of any person who did nottimely file reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during 2007, except that Form 4 reports on behalfof the following individuals were not timely filed: Leonard I. Fluxman, one report with respect to one transaction;31Bowne ID # g12968-5.pdf 35 May 2, 2008 12:16:32


Glenn Fusfield, one report with respect to one transaction; and Clive Warshaw, one report with respect to onetransaction (indirect ownership – restricted share award to wife).CERTAIN TRANSACTIONSThe Audit Committee of the board of directors is responsible for review and approval of transactionsbetween the Company or its subsidiaries, and related parties. For this purpose, a "related party" is any officer,director, nominee for director, 5% shareholder or any employee (other than, for employees who are not directors orexecutive officers, where the amount of the transaction does not exceed $50,000 ("Other Employee Transactions"))of the Company and their immediate family members.The Audit Committee has adopted the above policy in writing. Pursuant to the Audit Committee'sdirection, the Company has also adopted a written policy setting forth procedures related to approval by seniormanagement of Other Employee Transactions.To the extent practicable, related party transactions are presented to the Audit Committee prior to theirconsummation. When reviewing and evaluating a related party transaction, the Audit Committee may consider,among other things, any effect a transaction may have upon a director's independence, whether the transactioninvolves terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Company than those that could be obtained in atransaction between the Company and an unrelated third party and the nature of the related party's involvement inthe transaction. Management will notify the Audit Committee not less frequently than quarterly of new related partytransactions of which they are aware and any material changes to any previously approved, conditionally approvedor ratified related party transactions. The Company has adopted procedures to implement the foregoing policies.United Kingdom LeaseEffective June 24, 2000, Elemis entered into a 20-year lease with Harrow Weald Limited ("HWL"),whereby Elemis leases approximately 12,500 square feet of space in the London borough of Harrow used for theoperations of Elemis and the Company's United Kingdom training operations (the "Lease"). HWL is an entity ownedby the children of Clive E. Warshaw and Michèle <strong>Steiner</strong> Warshaw. The annual rent is subject to increase after thefifth, tenth and 15th years of the Lease term based on market conditions. In addition to other obligations of Elemisunder the Lease, rent payments totaled approximately $319,570 for 2007, based on the average British PoundsSterling to U.S. Dollar exchange rate in effect for that year. For the first five years of the Lease term, the rentreflected the agreement of HWL to reduce by 50% the annual rent. The second five-year term commenced in June2005. In addition to the end of the 50% rent reduction in June 2005, rent was adjusted at that time as required underthe terms of the Lease using the changes in a United Kingdom retail price index as the guideline, as approved by theAudit Committee. For 2008, the total rent will be approximately $315,230, based on the British Pounds Sterling toU.S. Dollar exchange rate in effect on April 10, 2008. The Company believes that the terms of the Lease are no lessfavorable to the Company than would have been obtained from an unrelated party.Compensation of Robert SchaverienRobert Schaverien serves as the Managing Director of <strong>Steiner</strong> Training Limited ("Training"), a UnitedKingdom subsidiary of the Company responsible for the training of shipboard employees.

PROPOSAL TWO - RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORSThe Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young as independent auditors of the Company for the fiscalyear ending December 31, 2008, subject to ratification by the shareholders. Ernst & Young was first engaged asindependent auditors for the Company in June 2002.Ernst & Young has provided certain non-audit services to the Company as described above, under "AuditCommittee Report."Although ratification by the shareholders of the appointment of independent auditors is not legally required,the board of directors believes that such action is desirable. If the appointment of Ernst & Young is not ratified, theAudit Committee may consider other independent auditors for the Company. However, due to the difficulty andexpense of making any change of auditors so long after the beginning of the current fiscal year, it is likely that theappointment would stand for 2008 unless the Audit Committee found other good reason for making a change.A representative of Ernst & Young will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity tomake a statement if he or she desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questionswhich the shareholders might have.Recommendation of the Board of DirectorsThe board of directors recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" ratification of the selection ofErnst & Young as independent auditors of the Company for the 2008 fiscal year.OTHER MATTERSAs of the date of this Proxy Statement, the board of directors knows of no other matters that will be broughtbefore the Annual Meeting. In the event that any other business is properly presented at the Annual Meeting, it isintended that the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have authority to vote such proxy in accordance withtheir judgment on such business.EXPENSE OF SOLICITATION OF PROXIESThe cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail,solicitations may also be made by telephone, telegram, facsimile, email or in person by directors, officers oremployees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for such services. In addition, theCompany will reimburse brokers and other shareholders of record for their expenses in forwarding proxy materialsto beneficial owners.SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2009 ANNUAL MEETINGProposals that shareholders wish to have considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2009annual meeting of shareholders must be received by the Company on or before January 5, 2009. Shareholders arerequired to follow the procedure set forth in Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Proposals should be directed to RobertC. Boehm, Secretary, c/o <strong>Steiner</strong> Management Services, LLC, 770 South Dixie Highway, Suite 200, Coral Gables,Florida 33146.In order for a shareholder proposal to be submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8, the Company'sArticles of Association provide that for business to be properly brought before future annual meetings by ashareholder, in addition to other applicable requirements, the shareholder must be present at the meeting and writtennotice thereof must be received by the Company's Secretary not less than 75 days nor more than 120 days prior tothe anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting (the "Anniversary Date"), or between February12, 2009 and March 29, 2009.

This process, which is commonlyreferred to as "householding," can effectively reduce the Company's printing and postage costs. Under householding,each shareholder would continue to receive a separate proxy card or vote instruction card. Certain shareholderswhose shares are held in "street name" (i.e., in the name of a brokerage firm or other intermediary) and who haveconsented to householding will receive only one set of annual meeting materials per household. If a shareholder'shousehold received a single set of annual meeting materials this year, that shareholder can request to receiveadditional copies of these materials by calling or writing the shareholder's brokerage firm, bank or other nominee.Shareholders that own their shares in street name, can request householding by calling or writing their brokeragefirm, bank or other nominee.ANNUAL REPORTA copy of the Company's 2007 Annual Report to Shareholders (which includes the Company's annualreport on Form 10-K, without exhibits, for fiscal year 2007) is being mailed with this Proxy Statement to eachshareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
