Richard Sulpizio did not seek re-election at the Annual Meeting (as defined below); his term expired on November 19, 2025 at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, creating a vacancy on our board of directors. On November 19, 2025, our board of directors approved reducing the number of directors serving on our board from twelve (12) to eleven (11).
ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan
On November 19, 2025, at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of ResMed Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”), our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement (the “2009 Plan Amendment”) of the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2009 Plan”) and as noted in Item 5.07 below. The 2009 Plan Amendment (i) increases the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan by 2,400,000 shares, (ii) eliminates the fixed term of the 2009 Plan, and (iii) authorizes the grant of incentive stock options under the 2009 Plan. On August 15, 2025, based on the recommendation of the compensation and leadership committee (the “CLDC”), our board adopted the 2009 Plan Amendment, subject to stockholder approval. The 2009 Plan Amendment became effective upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. A detailed summary of the 2009 Plan Amendment is set forth in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”) under the caption “Proposal 4 Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan, Including Increase of Reserved Shares and Elimination of Fixed Term,” which summary is incorporated herein by reference. Such summary and the foregoing description of the 2009 Plan Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2009 Plan Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
ResMed Inc. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders also approved an amendment and restatement of the ResMed Inc. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP Amendment”). The ESPP Amendment (i) increases the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or transferred by awards under the ESPP Amendment by 3,000,000 shares, (ii) eliminates the fixed term of the ESPP Amendment; and (iii) provides for the grant of options (or rights) to purchase shares of our common stock that are intended to be tax qualified under Section 423 of the Code. On August 15, 2025, based on the recommendation of the CLDC, our board adopted the ESPP Amendment, subject to stockholder approval. The ESPP Amendment became effective upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
A detailed summary of the ESPP Amendment is set forth in the Proxy Statement under the caption “Proposal 5 Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of the ResMed Inc. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Including Increase of Reserved Shares and Elimination of Fixed Term,” which summary is incorporated herein by reference. Such summary and the foregoing description of the ESPP Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the ESPP Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
