Item 8.01. Other Events.

DB Commodity Services LLC, the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”) 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 and PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (each a “Fund” and 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 (each a “Master Fund” and collectively, the “Master Funds”), has determined that distributions will not be made to the shareholders of the Funds for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009.

As disclosed in the Funds’ prospectus, each Fund makes distributions at the discretion of the Managing Owner. To the extent that a Master Fund’s actual and projected interest income from their holdings of United States Treasury securities and other high credit quality short-term fixed income securities exceeded the actual and projected fees and expenses of such Master Fund and corresponding Fund, the Managing Owner has periodically made distributions of a substantial portion of the estimated amount of such excess. In the current interest rate environment, each Master Fund’s interest income has not exceeded the fees and expenses of such Master Fund and corresponding Fund, therefore, the Managing Owner has determined not to make distributions for the calendar year ending December 31, 2009.
