On May 15, 2012, our board of directors approved, subject to later declaration by the board of directors, our plan to initiate a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share in the first quarter of its fiscal 2013, which begins on July 1, 2012. We plan to pay the dividend in US currency to holders of our common stock trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Holders of Chess Depositary Instruments (CDIs) trading on the Australian Stock Exchange will receive an equivalent amount in Australian currency, based on the exchange rate on the record date, and reflecting the 10:1 ratio between CDIs and NYSE shares. ResMed expects the dividend will be unfranked for Australian tax purposes.
On May 12, 2012, we issued the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. It is incorporated into this report by reference. The press release describes the plan above, as well as our plans for chief executive officer succession.
