Invesco PowerShares to Transfer 79 PowerShares ETFs From the American Stock Exchange (the "Amex") to NYSE Arca in Connection Wit

  Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC, a
leading provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced that it
anticipates transferring 79 PowerShares ETFs currently listed on the
American Stock Exchange (Amex) to the NYSE Arca listing and trading
platform. The move of the PowerShares ETFs comes as a result of the merger
of the Amex and NYSE Euronext, the holding company for NYSE Arca. On Oct.
1, 2008, the Amex and NYSE Euronext announced that their transaction had
successfully closed. To accommodate one of the largest fund transfers in
the history of the exchanges, Invesco PowerShares will bring these funds to
NYSE Arca in two phases. It is anticipated that the last trading day on the
Amex for most of these PowerShares ETFs will be Friday, Oct. 31, 2008 with
Monday, Nov. 3, 2008 being the first trading day on NYSE Arca. It is then
anticipated that a second group of the remaining PowerShares ETFs will
leave Amex and begin trading on NYSE Arca on or about Nov. 25, 2008.
Current shareholders are not required to take any actions as a result of
this change.

The entire list of PowerShares ETFs moving to NYSE Arca is provided in the following table:
