On August 12, 2010 we issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. It is incorporated into this report by reference. The press release describes that the company has been granted a waiver of rules 13.9.4 and 13.9.9 of the Australian Stock Exchange Settlement Operating Rules, in connection with the stock split previously announced to the market.
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 August 12, 2010 up to and including August 31, 2010. Therefore, no conversions (transmutations) will be processed during this time. Processing of conversions will re-commence on September 1, 2010.
