As advised in the Company's 6 August announcement:

• Stockholders of record on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of trading on August 17, 2010 will receive one additional share of common stock for each share held on that date.  The common stock will be distributed to shareholders on or about August 30, 2010, by ResMed's NYSE transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC.  The common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis on the NYSE beginning on August 31, 2010, or one day following the distribution date.
