EXPLANATORY NOTE
ResMed Inc. is filing this Amendment Number 1 to amend the definitive proxy statement for its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2018. The section entitled “Audit Fees” has been corrected, because the numbers in the original filed proxy statement were not updated from 2017. The following section replaces in its entirety the section entitled “Audit Fees” from page 77 of the proxy statement filed on October 3, 2018.
All other items in the original proxy statement remain unchanged.
AUDIT FEES
The following table presents fees for professional audit services by KPMG LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements for fiscal years 2018 and 2017, and fees billed for other services by KPMG LLP.

Pre-approval policy |
The audit committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit fees. Since the 2003 effective date of the SEC rules stating that an auditor is not independent of an audit client if the services it provides to the client are not appropriately approved, each new engagement of KPMG LLP was approved in advance by our audit committee, and none of those engagements made use of the rules’ de minimus exception to pre-approval.
