Item 8.01. Other Events.
As disclosed in the prospectus of PowerShares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust dated May 15, 2007, which includes information regarding the PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund and DB Agriculture Master Fund (collectively, the “Fund”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and commodity exchanges impose position limits on market participants trading in certain commodities included in the DBLCI-OY Agriculture ER Index (the “DBA Index”), which include corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar (the “DBA Index Commodities”). The DBA Index is comprised of futures contracts on the DBA Index Commodities that expire in a specific month and trade on a specific exchange (the “DBA Index Contracts”). Because the Fund is approaching position limits with respect to certain of the DBA Index Contracts, the Fund plans to invest in other futures contracts based on the DBA Index Commodities (“Replacement Futures Contracts”) when (and if) the Fund surpasses these position limits. When applicable, the specifications and weights of these Replacement Futures Contracts will be communicated on the Index Weights webpage of the Fund, which may be found at http://www.dbfunds.db.com/Dba/weights.aspx. This webpage will continue to disclose the Index Weights as it has since inception of the Fund, but will also disclose the Fund weights, which will reflect the weights of the underlying futures contracts of the Fund.
