Item 8.01. Other Events.

As disclosed in the prospectus of PowerShares DB Multi-Sector Commodity Trust dated January 15, 2008, which includes information regarding the PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund and DB Agriculture Master Fund (collectively, the “Fund”), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and commodity exchanges impose position limits on market participants trading in certain commodities included in the DBLCI-OY Agriculture ER Index (the “DBA Index”), which include corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar (the “DBA Index Commodities”). The DBA Index is comprised of futures contracts on the DBA Index Commodities that expire in a specific month and trade on a specific exchange (the “DBA Index Contracts”).

Because the Fund is approaching or has reached position limits with respect to certain of the DBA Index Contracts, the Fund has commenced investing in other futures contracts based on the DBA Index Commodities and in other futures contracts not based on DBA Index Commodities. The Managing Owner invests or will invest in such other futures contracts only if, in the reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, such futures contracts tend to exhibit trading prices that correlate with a DBA Index Contract with respect to which the Fund is approaching, has reached, or has surpassed the applicable position limits (collectively, “Replacement Futures Contracts”).

When applicable, the specifications and weights of these Replacement Futures Contracts will be communicated on the Index Weights webpage of the Fund, which may be found at http://www.dbfunds.db.com/Dba/weights.aspx. This webpage will continue to disclose the Index Weights as it has since inception of the Fund, but will also disclose the Fund weights, which will reflect the weights of the underlying futures contracts of the Fund.
