Item 8.01. Other Events.
On January 26, 2007, DB Commodity Services LLC, the managing owner of each of PowerShares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust (the “Trust”), PowerShares DB Energy Fund, PowerShares DB Oil Fund, PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund, PowerShares DB Gold Fund, PowerShares DB Silver Fund, PowerShares DB Base Metals Fund, PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), DB Multi-Sector Commodity Master Trust (the “Master Trust”), DB Energy Master Fund, DB Oil Master Fund, DB Precious Metals Master Fund, DB Gold Master Fund, DB Silver Master Fund, DB Base Metals Master Fund and DB Agriculture Master Fund (collectively, the “Master Funds”) filed a Prospectus Supplement dated January 26, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Prospectus dated January 3, 2007 relating to the Trust, the Funds, the Master Trust and the Master Funds (the “Prospectus”).
The Prospectus Supplement provides as follows:
“The last paragraph under the sub-heading “Tax-Exempt Organizations” on page 139 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced, in its entirety, by the following:
‘All of the income realized by a Master Fund is expected to be short-term or long-term capital gain income, interest income or other passive investment income of the type specifically exempt from UBTI as discussed above. None of the Funds or Master Funds will borrow funds for the purpose of acquiring or holding any investments or otherwise incur “acquisition indebtedness” with respect to such investments. Therefore, a tax-exempt entity purchasing Shares of a Fund would not incur any UBTI by reason of its investment in the Shares or upon sale of such Shares provided that such tax-exempt entity does not borrow funds for the purpose of investing in the Shares.’”
