Item 8.01. Other Events.
DB Commodity Services LLC is the managing owner (the “Managing Owner”) of PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund trades exchange traded futures on the currencies comprising the Deutsche Bank G10 Currency Future Harvest Index® – Excess Return (the “Index”), with a view to tracking the Index over time.
Deutsche Bank AG London is the sponsor of the Index (the “Index Sponsor”).
Following the British Banker Association’s decision to discontinue publishing the 3-month Libor rate for the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar, starting June 2013, the Index will use the 3 month Canada Bankers Acceptance Rate and the Australian Bank Bill Short Term Rate 3 Month Mid, respectively, as the new market reference rates to perform the quarterly currency selection, as disclosed on the Index Sponsor’s website at index.db.com.
In order to account for the above change, the Managing Owner has adopted Amendment No. 2 dated May 10, 2013 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2012 of the Fund.
Except for the change of benchmark with respect to the Canadian Dollar and the Australian Dollar as described above, all other terms and conditions of the Index remains unchanged.
