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.  At the outset of the Lawsuit, the Court issued
a scheduling order which stayed 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 those related
cases due to the pendency of the Lawsuit seeking
recoveries on similar grounds, and the plaintiffs in the
related cases have appealed that order. Accordingly, 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 ("MCO
4") setting forth the procedures to govern the Lawsuit
and effectively lifting the above-referenced stay. Among
other things, MCO 4 requires the parties to present
proposals for a structure to govern the upcoming pre-
answer motions to dismiss stage of the Lawsuit.  The
parties submitted those proposals on February 13,
2014. 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.
