SAN DIEGO, California, August 10, 2005 – ResMed Inc (NYSE: RMD) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a two-for-one split of its common stock, payable in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. Shareholders of record will receive one additional share of common stock for every share held on September 15, 2005.

“ResMed’s share price has appreciated over 90 percent since our last split in March of 2000, reflecting strong financial performance from the company and robust growth in the industry at large,” stated Peter C.
