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.

Holders of CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) on the Australian Stock Exchange
will also receive a bonus issue of one additional CDI for every CDI held on the
ASX record date of August 18, 2010. Unlike the shares on the NYSE, the existing
CDIs will be quoted on an "ex-bonus" basis on August 12, 2010 on the ASX (ASX:
RMD), and bonus CDI's will be quoted on a deferred settlement basis (ASX:
RMDBN). The bonus CDIs will be distributed by ResMed's ASX share registry,
Computershare Limited, on or about August 31, 2010, and normal trading will
begin on the following day.

Due to the difference in market practice between the NYSE and ASX, ResMed
applied for and has been granted a waiver of rules 13.9.4 and 13.9.9 of the ASX
Settlement Operating Rules, allowing it to defer the processing of conversions
(transmutations) between its Common Stock and CDI registers that are lodged in
the period from and including 12 August 2010 up to and including 31 August 2010.
Therefore, no conversions (transmutations) will be processed during this time.
Processing of conversions will re-commence on 1 September 2010.
