(1)Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual PowerShares DB Base Metals ETN performance. The inception date of the
Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Industrial Metals[] is
July 12, 2006. Index history is based on a combination of the monthly returns
from the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index -- Optimum Yield Industrial
Metals Excess Return[] (the "Base Metals Index") plus the monthly returns from
the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"), resetting monthly as per the
formula applied to the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs, less the investor fee.
The Base Metals Index is intended to reflect changes in the market value of
certain futures contracts on aluminum, copper and zinc. The T-Bill Index is
intended to approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States
Treasury bills 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. For current index and PowerShares DB Base Metals
ETN performance, go to dbfunds.db.com/notes.

(2)The Sand P 500([R]) Index is an unmanaged index used as a measurement of change
in stock market conditions based on the performance of a specified group of
common stocks. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index[] is an unmanaged
index considered representative of the U.S. investment-grade, fixed-rate bond
market. Correlation indicates the degree to which two investments have
historically moved in the same direction and magnitude. Volatility is the
annualized standard deviation of monthly index returns.

An investment in the PowerShares DB Base Metals 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 Base Metals ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to the Index. The PowerShares
DB Base Metals ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and
have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Base
Metals ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal
repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses.
Investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals 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
Base Metals ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at
any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is zero,
your investment will expire worthless. Deutsche Bank may accelerate the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs upon the occurrence of a regulatory event as
described in the pricing supplement. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and
there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of the
PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in
losses. An investment in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may not be
suitable for all investors.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in aluminum, copper and
zinc futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs
may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things,
volatile base metal prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes
in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares
DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are
speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity
products linked to more than one commodity sector.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Base Metals
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.

The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are not suitable for all investors and

risk, consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results and intend
to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investing in the ETNs is not
equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components because the
current


 
 
 

 
 
 


principal amount (the amount you invested) is reset each month, resulting in
the compounding of monthly returns. The principal amount is also subject to the
investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. The amount you receive at
maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) will be contingent upon each monthly
performance of the index during the term of the securities. There is no
guarantee that you will receive at maturity, or upon an earlier repurchase your
initial investment back or any return on that investment. Significant adverse
monthly performances for your securities may not be offset by any beneficial
monthly performances.
