- The Board of Directors of DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") (NYSE:GCS) announced the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the Fund to be held at 10:30 am on October 13, 2008 at the New York Marriott East Side, 525 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. Holders of record of shares of common stock of the Fund

at the close of business on August 26, 2008 are entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournments thereof.

At the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders will elect five (5) Directors, each to serve for a term of three years and until their successors are elected and qualify. This is an increase in the number of directors elected at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which four directors were elected. Pursuant to the Fund's Bylaws, due to the increase in the number of directors to be elected, a stockholder may nominate one individual for election as a Director at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by delivering written notice containing the information required by the Fund's Bylaws to the Secretary of the Fund, John Millette, c/o Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc., One Beacon Street, 14th Floor, Boston, MA 02108. Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Fund, such written notice must be received by the Fund not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth day following the date of this press release, or August 25, 2008.

Please note that the deadline in the Bylaws for other director nominations has passed and that a stockholder may nominate only one individual for election as a Director as provided above.

The Fund's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote for the election of the Board's five nominees instead of the possible nomination by a dissident stockholder of a separate slate of nominees. The Directors believe that the Board's nominees will best serve the interests of the Fund and stockholders.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Shares of closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, typically are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of the Fund's 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 shares will trade at, below, or above net asset value.
