Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On November 17, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ResMed Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) approved and adopted an amendment and restatement of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (as so amended, the “Bylaws”). Among the changes contained in the Bylaws are the following:

 

•

Address the universal proxy rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by clarifying that no person may solicit proxies in support of a nominee other than the Board’s nominees unless such person has complied with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including applicable notice and solicitation requirements.

 

•

Provide that any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for exclusive use by the Board.

 

•

Make certain other updates, including technical, ministerial, clarifying and conforming changes, including, without limitation, to align with language used in certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Exchange Act.

The Bylaws are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1. The foregoing description of the changes contained in the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On November 16, 2023, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders (1) elected the ten nominees listed below to serve on our board of directors; (2) ratified the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024; and (3) approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (“say-on-pay”); and (4) approved, the frequency for an advisory vote of future say-on-pay votes on an annual basis.
