Description

The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DYY),
PowerShares DB Commodity Long Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DPU), PowerShares
DB Commodity Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DDP) and PowerShares DB
Commodity Double Short Exchange Traded Note (Symbol: DEE) (collectively, the
"PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs") are the first United States exchange traded
products that provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to
take a long, short or leveraged view on the performance of a broad-based
commodity index.

All of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are based on a total return version of
the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index" (the "Index") which is designed to
reflect the performance of certain wheat, corn, light sweet crude oil, heating
oil, gold and aluminum futures contracts plus the returns from investing in 3
month United States Treasury Bills. The Long and Double Long ETNs are based on
the Optimum Yield" version of the Index and the Short and Double Short ETNs are
based on the standard version of the Index. The Optimum Yield" version of the
Index attempts to minimize the negative effects of contango and maximize the
positive effects of backwardation by applying flexible roll rules to pick a new
futures contract when a contract expires. The standard version of the Index,
which does not attempt to minimize the negative effects of contango and
maximize the positive effects of backwardation, uses static roll rules that
dictate that an expiring futures contract must be replaced with a contract
having a pre-defined expiration date.

Investors can buy and sell PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs at market price on the
NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or early
redemption based on the performance of the index less investor fees. Investors
may redeem PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000
securities and integral multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter, subject to
the procedures described in the pricing supplement which include a fee of up to
$0.03 per security.

on a rolling basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT
GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

(2)The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are not rated but rely on the ratings of
their issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. Credit ratings are subject to
revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, which
may have an adverse effect on the marketability or market price of the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs.

An investment in the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs involves risks, including
possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see "Risk
Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement. Not FDIC Insured - No Bank
Guarantee - May Lose Value.

The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche
Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to the Index. The rating of Deutsche
Bank AG, London Branch does not address, enhance or affect the performance of
the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs other than Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's
ability to meet its obligations. The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are riskier
than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks
of investing in the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs include limited portfolio
diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations,
illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Commodity
ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the Index or index components.
The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon
redemption of your PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs even if the value of the
relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless.
Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the
event of sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs.
Sales in the secondary market may result in losses. An investment in the
PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs may not be suitable for all investors.

The PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs are concentrated in commodity futures
contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Commodity ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in
interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions.

The PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Commodity
Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be
more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of
loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an
unleveraged investment.
