IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DWS Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund, Inc. (formerly DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc.) (NYSE: GCS) is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company currently invested in commodity-linked derivative

instruments backed by a portfolio of fixed income securities, including inflation-indexed securities, of varying maturities issued by the US government, non-US governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and US and non-US corporations and derivatives related to each of these types of securities. The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation with total return as a secondary objective.

The fund invests in commodity-related securities, including commodity-linked derivatives which may subject the fund to special risks. Market price movements or regulatory and economic changes will have a significant impact on the fund’s performance. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. This fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Stocks may declin e in value. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any losses.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the fund’s shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of Fund securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking in nature. These include all statements relating to plans, expectations, and other statements that are not historical facts and typically use words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and similar expressions. Such statements represent management's current beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Management does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any fo rward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: (i) the need to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) the effects of changes in market and economic conditions; (iii) other legal and regulatory developments; and (iv) other additional risks and uncertainties.
