GCS Dws Enhanced Commodity Strategy Fund, Inc.

The Board of Directors of DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GCS) announced that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund for the 2009-2010 fiscal year will be held on June 28, 2010 at the New York Marriott Eastside, 525 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10017. Stockholders will consider the election of Directors for the Fund, as well as a proposal submitted by a stockholder to terminate the investment management agreement between the Fund and Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. The close of business on April 23, 2010 has been fixed as the record date for the meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof.

On February 22, 2010, Western Investment LLC, the same dissident stockholder who submitted the above proposal, filed a civil complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against the Fund in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking, among other things, an injunction compelling the Fund to (i) hold a meeting of its stockholders at the earliest date legally possible for the purpose of electing directors and (ii) recognize the voting rights of all shares beneficially owned by the plaintiff at such meeting, including those acquired after the Fund opted-in to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act on September 11, 2009. On March 3, 2010, Western Investment LLC amended its complaint to also seek an order barring the Fund from implementing certain investment changes announced on January 29, 2010. The Fund believes that the claims made in the lawsuit are without merit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GCS) is a non-diversified, closed-end investment company currently invested in equity and commodities-linked securities of companies in commodities-related industries or issuers whose value is tied to the price of certain commodities or commodities-related indexes or parts of indices. The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation with total return as a secondary objective.

DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc. (GCS) is subject to investment risk. The fund invests in commodity-related securities, including commodity-linked derivatives which may subject the fund to special risks. Market price movements or regulatory and economic changes will have a significant impact on the fund’s performance. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. This fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Stocks may decline in value. Leverage results in additional risks and can magnify the effect of any losses.

Shares of common stock of closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and, once issued, shares of common stock of closed-end funds are traded in the open market generally through a stock exchange. Common shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of common shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, the fund cannot predict whether its common shares will trade at, below, or above net asset value.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of fund securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Certain statements contained in this release may be forward-looking in nature. These include all statements relating to plans, expectations, and other statements that are not historical facts and typically use words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” and similar expressions. Such statements represent management's current beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Management does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: (i) the need to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) the effects of changes in market and economic conditions; (iii) other legal and regulatory developments; and (iv) other additional risks and uncertainties.
