Item 77E - DWS Investment Trust
On December 7, 2010, DWS Investment Trust (the
"Trust") was named as a defendant in the First
Amended Complaint filed by the Official
Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in the
lawsuit styled Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors of Tribune Company, et al., v. Fitzsimons
et al. (the "Lawsuit").  The Lawsuit arises out of a
leveraged buyout transaction ("LBO") in 2007 by
which loans were made to the Tribune Company to
fund the LBO and shares of the Tribune Company
held by shareholders were tendered for or were
converted to a right to receive cash.  Following the
completion of the LBO in 2007, the Tribune
Company filed for bankruptcy.  The Lawsuit seeks
to recover all payments made to the shareholders in
the LBO.  The Lawsuit has been consolidated in a
multi-district litigation in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York, case
no. 12-MC-2296.  The Court issued a scheduling
order which stays all substantive proceedings in the
Lawsuit until after the decision on motions to
dismiss based on certain defenses common to the
defendants filed in related cases.  On September 23,
2013, the District Court entered an Order granting
the defendants' motion to dismiss in the related
cases, and the plaintiffs in the related cases have
appealed the order. Despite the dismissal of those
related actions, the Lawsuit will continue to seek
recovery of all amounts that the Trust received on a
theory of intentional fraudulent conveyance.  On
November 21, 2013, the District Court entered
Master Case Order No. 4 setting forth the
procedures to govern the Lawsuit and effectively
lifting the above-referenced stay. Management is
currently assessing the Lawsuit and has not yet
determined the effect, if any, on any series of the
Trust.
DWS S&P 500 Index Fund, the only fund in the
Trust that was the beneficial holder of shares of the
Tribune Company, has been reorganized into DWS
Institutional Funds and none of the Trust's current
funds have exposure in the litigation.
