NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--DWS Global Commodities Stock Fund, Inc. (NYSE:GCS) (the "Fund") declared a year end distribution of $.0439 per share from net investment income, $2.5502 per share from short-term capital gains and $2.2111 per share from long-term capital gains for a total distribution of $4.8052 per share payable on January 12, 2009 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2008.

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.

Future earnings of the Fund can not be guaranteed. For more information on the Fund, please contact a representative at (800) 349-4281, or visit us on the web at [ www.dws-investments.com ] for updated information on the Fund.

Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, 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.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries).

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these 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.
