PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDED AND RESTATED DECLARATION OF TRUST
(DWS Money Market Prime Series)
| Q. | Why am I being asked to vote on this proposal? |
| A. | DIMA is seeking to amend your Fund’s current Declaration of Trust. Under your Fund’s current Declaration of Trust and Massachusetts state law, the proposed amendments require shareholder approval. |
| Q. | What is a Declaration of Trust? |
| A. | A Declaration of Trust is the constitutional document that governs the corporate actions of a fund that is part of a Massachusetts business trust. A Declaration of Trust sets forth, among other things, details regarding the organization of the fund, shareholder rights, powers of the board of a fund and the characteristics of fund shares. Shareholders of funds that are part of a Massachusetts business trust will be asked to vote to approve an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust. The notice for the upcoming special meeting indicates which Funds are series of which Trust. |
| Q. | Why did my Fund’s Board recommend this Proposal? |
| A. | Your Fund’s Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Funds to use the opportunity presented by this shareholder meeting to modernize the Funds’ current Declarations of Trust and to make them as uniform as possible across all of the Massachusetts business trusts that the proposed consolidated Board would oversee. It is anticipated that the overall effect of these changes will be to make the administration of the Funds more efficient and to provide more flexibility for the operations of the Funds, within the limits of applicable law. |
| Q. | What effect would the adoption of an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust have on my Fund? |
| A. | A description of the primary differences between your Fund’s current Declaration of Trust and the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust is set forth in Proposal V of the Proxy Statement. Adoption of an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust will not alter in any way the Board Members’ existing duties of care and loyalty, nor will your Fund’s current investments and investment policies change by virtue of the adoption of an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust. |
