Change to Follow the Optimum Yield™ version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity IndexTM - Excess Return

On June 1, 2006, the PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund ("DBC") began to seek to track the performance of the Optimum Yield™ ("OY") version of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity IndexTM - Excess Return ("DBLCI-ER"). The OY version of the DBLCI-ER provides a rules-based formula for replacing an expiring futures contract with a new futures contract having an expiration date that generates the highest "implied roll yield."

Please go to https://index.db.com – Traded Index Products – Commodities – DBLCI for a thorough description of the Optimum YieldTM contract selection formula.

A patent application concerning the Optimum YieldTM process is pending at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

As of June 12, 2006, DBLCIX, the ticker symbol for the intra-day indicative level of the DBLCI, displays data for the OY version of the DBLCI-ER rather than the non-OY version of the DBLCI-ER. The historical DBLCI-ER data was normalized to have a level of 488.6960 on June 8, 2006, the closing level of the OY version of the DBLCI-ER as of that date.

About the Fund's Index
The Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Diversified Excess ReturnTM (DBLCIX) is composed of futures contracts on fourteen of the most heavily traded and important physical commodities in the world. The Index commodity components were chosen based on the depth and liquidity of their markets and to provide diversified commodity performance.

The Optimum YieldTM version of the Index provides a rules-based formula for replacing an expiring futures contract with a new contract having the highest "implied roll yield". This can minimize the negative effects of rolling futures contracts when a market is in contango (that is, when the next-to-expire contract is trading at a lower price than contracts expiring in later months) and maximize the positive effects of rolling futures contracts when a market is backwardated (that is, when the next-to-expire contract is trading at a higher price than contracts expiring in later months).
