Item 8.01. Other Events.

As disclosed in the prospectus of PowerShares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust dated May 1, 2009, which includes information regarding the PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund, DB Precious Metals Master Fund, PowerShares DB Gold Fund and DB Gold Master Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and commodity exchanges impose position limits on market participants trading in certain commodities included in the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index–Optimum Yield Precious Metals Excess Return™ Index (the “DBP Index”), which includes gold and silver (the “DBP Index Commodities”) and the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index–Optimum Yield Gold Excess Return™ Index (the “DGL Index”), which includes only gold (the “DGL Index Commodity”). The DBP Index and the DGL Index are comprised of futures contracts on the DBP Index Commodities (the “DBP Index Contracts”) and the DGL Index Commodity (the “DGL Index Contracts,” and together with the DBP Index Contracts, the “Index Contracts”) respectively, that expire in a specific month and trade on a specific exchange. Because the Funds have approached position limits with respect to certain of the Index Contracts, the Funds plan to invest in other futures contracts based on the Index Contracts (“Replacement Futures Contracts”) as each 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 each Fund, which may be found at http://dbfunds.db.com/dbp/weights.aspx (with respect to PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund) and http://dbfunds.db.com/dgl/weights.aspx (with respect to PowerShares DB Gold Fund). These webpages will continue to disclose the Index Weights as it has since inception of the Funds, but will also disclose each Fund’s weights, which will reflect the weights of the underlying futures contracts of each Fund.
