SUPPLEMENT DATED JULY 12, 2006 TO
PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 17, 2006
This Supplement updates certain fee and breakeven related information contained in the Prospectus dated January 17, 2006, as supplemented from time to time (the Prospectus) of DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (the Fund) and DB Commodity Index Tracking Master Fund. All capitalized terms used in this Supplement have the same meaning as in the Prospectus.
Prospective investors in the Fund should review carefully the contents of both this Supplement and the Prospectus.
Management Fee
This Supplement updates all references to the Management Fee in the Prospectus. Effective July 12, 2006, the Managing Owner has determined to reduce the amount of the Management Fee to 0.75% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund, paid monthly in arrears by the Master Fund to the Managing Owner. The Management Fee has been reduced by 0.20% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund and all references to the Management Fee in the Prospectus hereby are amended accordingly. (For the avoidance of doubt, the Master Fund will pay the prior Management Fee of 0.95% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund in respect of the period from July 1 - 11 and the reduced Management Fee of 0.75% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund in respect of the period from July 12 - 31.)
Brokerage Commissions and Fees
This Supplement updates all references to Brokerage Commissions and Fees in the Prospectus. Based on actual historical information, the prior estimate of Brokerage Commissions and Fees of 0.20% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund in any year has been reduced to 0.08% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund in any year, and all references to Brokerage Commissions and Fees in the Prospectus hereby are amended accordingly. The last sentence in each of the (i) sub-section The Commodity Broker under the Summary section of the Prospectus, (ii) sub-section Brokerage Commissions and Fees under the Summary Fees and Expenses section of the Prospectus and (iii) sub-section Brokerage Commissions and Fees under the Charges section of the Prospectus hereby is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following sentence:
The Managing Owner does not expect brokerage commissions and fees to exceed 0.08% of the net asset value of the
Master Fund in any year, although the actual amount of brokerage commissions and fees in any year or any part of any year may be greater.
Organization and Offering Expenses
This Supplement updates all references to Organization and Offering Expenses in the Prospectus. Effective July 12, 2006 1 the Managing Owner has determined to assume all organization and offering expenses not yet paid by the Fund and the Master Fund and the Prospectus is hereby amended accordingly. The sub-section Organization and Offering Expenses under the Summary Fees and Expenses section of the Prospectus and the first paragraph in the sub-section Organization and Offering Expenses of the Charges section of the Prospectus hereby are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:
Effective July 12, 2006 the Managing Owner has determined to assume all Organization and Offering Expenses not yet paid by the Fund and the Master Fund. Such expenses include expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Fund and the
Master Fund and the initial offering of the Shares. Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of
Shares after the commencement of the Master Funds trading operations and not yet paid by the Master Fund also will be paid by the Managing Owner.
Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses
This Supplement updates all references to Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses in the Prospectus. Effective July 12, 2006 2 the Managing Owner has determined to assume all routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund and the Master Fund and all references to routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses in the Prospectus hereby are amended accordingly. The sub-section Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses under the Summary Fees and Expenses section of the Prospectus and the sub-section Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses of the Charges section of the Prospectus hereby are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following paragraph:
Effective July 12, 2006 the Managing Owner has determined to assume all Routine Operational, Administrative
and Other Ordinary Expenses of the Fund and the Master Fund going forward, including, but not limited to, computer services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal and accounting fees and expenses, tax preparation expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs.
1 Prior to July 12, 2006, all organization and offering expenses of the Fund and the Master Fund had been paid by the Managing Owner and were subject to reimbursement by the Master Fund, without interest, in 36 monthly payments during each of the first 36 months after the commencement of the Master Funds trading operations, subject to a cap in the amount of 2.50% of the aggregate amount of all subscriptions for Shares prior to the commencement of trading and during the first 36 months of the Master Funds trading operations. Expenses incurred in connection with the continuous offering of Shares after the commencement of the Master Funds trading operations were also paid by the Managing Owner, subject to reimbursement by the Master Fund, without interest, in 36 monthly payments during each of the 36 months following the month in which such expenses were paid by the Managing Owner. In no event would the aggregate amount of payments by the Master Fund to the Managing Owner in any month in respect of reimbursement of organization or offering expenses exceed 0.10% per annum of the daily average net asset value of the Master Fund during such month.
2 Prior to July 12, 2006, all routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund and the Master Fund were paid by the Master Fund.
Breakeven Amount and Breakeven Table
This Supplement updates all references to the Breakeven Table in the Prospectus. Based on the (i) revised Management Fee, (ii) Managing Owners assumption of Organization and Offering Expenses and Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses going forward and (iii) revised Brokerage Commissions and fees, the total expenses of the Fund and the Master Fund are estimated to be 0.83% per annum, rather than the aggregate of 1.30% reflected in the breakeven table set forth in the Supplement dated March 2, 2006 to the Prospectus.
It is expected that interest income will exceed the fees and costs incurred during the continuous offering period. Accordingly, based on current interest income of 5.08% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund, the 12-Month Breakeven amount is either (i) $(1.06) or (4.25)% per Share, or (ii) $(212,500) or (4.25)% per Basket. In other words, the Fund is expected to break even in any twelve month period provided that its portfolio of Index Commodities does not decline by more than 4.25% per annum plus the amount of any commissions charged by the investors broker.
This Supplement replaces the Breakeven Table (including footnotes) in both the Summary and Charges set forth in the Supplement dated March 2, 2006 to the Prospectus with the following:
