Item 8.01                          Other Events

On May 28, 2013, Stage Stores, Inc. (the "Company") determined that the termination payments made to Andrew Hall, the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, in Fiscal 2012 under the terms of a Separation Agreement were not included in the Summary Compensation Table in the proxy materials for the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of  Shareholders, which will be held on June 13, 2013, because (i) the approximate value of the entire Separation Agreement had already been disclosed in the proxy materials and (ii) the payments were made after Mr. Hall's employment with the Company ended.

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is also making available additional proxy materials to correct the previous disclosures with respect to Mr. Hall's Fiscal 2012 compensation contained in the original proxy materials that were previously sent to the shareholders for the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  A copy of those additional proxy materials is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.
Item 9.01                          Financial Statements and Exhibits
(d)            Exhibits
99 Additional Proxy Materials for the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 13, 2013.
