Committees of the Boards of Trustees. Each Fund's board of trustees currently has five standing committees:

Executive Committee. Messrs. Calamos and Neal are members of the executive committee of each board, which has authority during intervals between meetings of the board of trustees to exercise the powers of the board, with certain exceptions. John P. Calamos, Sr. is an interested trustee of each Fund.

Dividend Committee. Mr. Calamos serves as the sole member of the dividend committee of each board. Each dividend committee is authorized, subject to board review, to declare distributions on the respective Fund's shares in accordance with the Fund's distribution policies, including, but not limited to, regular dividends, special dividends and short- and long-term capital gains distributions.

Audit Committee. Messrs. Neal, Rybak (Chair), Toub, and Wennlund and Mses. Breen and Stuckey serve on the audit committee of each board. The audit committees operate under a written charter adopted and approved by each board, a copy of which is available on the Funds' website, www.calamos.com. The audit committees select independent auditors, approve services to be rendered by the auditors, monitor the auditors' performance, review the results of each Fund's audit, determine whether to recommend to the board that the Fund's audited financial statements be included in the Fund's annual report and respond to other matters deemed appropriate by the boards. Each committee member is "independent" as defined by the NASDAQ Listing Rules and is not an interested person of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act. The board of each Fund has determined that each member of its audit committee is financially literate and that at least one of its members has prior accounting or related financial management experience. Messrs. Neal, Rybak, and Toub, and Mses. Breen and Stuckey have been determined by the board to be audit committee financial experts for each Fund.

Governance Committee. Messrs. Neal, Rybak, Toub, and Wennlund and Mses. Breen (Chair) and Stuckey serve on the governance committee of each board. Each committee member is "independent" as defined by the NASDAQ Listing Rules and is not an "interested person" of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act. The governance committees operate under a written charter adopted by each board, a copy of which is available on the Funds' website, www.calamos.com. The governance committees oversee the independence and effective functioning of the boards of trustees and endeavors to be informed about good practices for investment company boards. The committees also make recommendations to their respective boards regarding compensation of independent trustees.

The governance committees also function as nominating committees by making recommendations to the boards of trustees regarding candidates for election as non-interested trustees. The governance committees look to many sources for recommendations of qualified trustees, including current trustees, employees of Calamos Advisors, current shareholders of the Funds, search firms that are compensated for their services and other third-party sources. Any such firm identifies and evaluates potential candidates, conducts screening interviews and provides information to the governance committees with respect to the market for available candidates. In making trustee recommendations, the governance committees consider a number of factors, including a candidate's background, integrity, knowledge and relevant experience. These factors are set forth in an appendix to the written committee charter. Any prospective candidate is interviewed by the Funds' trustees and officers, and references are checked prior to initial nomination. The governance committees will consider shareholder recommendations regarding potential trustee candidates that are properly submitted to the governance committees for their consideration. Procedures for nominating a candidate are set forth in Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Except to the extent that such requirements are waived by a majority of the Continuing Trustees (as defined in each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust)¹ then in office at the time of nomination of such trustee, only persons satisfying the following qualification requirements may be nominated, elected, appointed, qualified or seated ("nominated or seated") to serve as trustee:

(A) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall be at least twenty-one years of age and not older than the mandatory retirement age determined from time to time by the trustees or a committee of the trustees, in each case at the time the individual is nominated or seated.

(B) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall, at the time the individual is nominated or seated, serve as a trustee or director of no more than 5 investment companies (including the applicable Fund) having securities registered under the Exchange Act (investment companies or individual series thereof having the same investment adviser or investment advisers affiliated through a control relationship shall all be counted as a single company for this purpose).

(C) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall not serve or have served within the past 3 years as a trustee of any closed-end investment company which, while such individual was serving as a trustee or within one year after the end of such service, ceased to be a closed-end investment company registered under the 1940 Act, unless such individual was initially nominated for election as a trustee by the board of trustees of such closed-end investment company or had served as a trustee since the inception of such closed-end investment company.

(D) Except as set forth in the By-Laws of each Fund, an individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall not be an employee, officer, partner, member, trustee, director or 5% or greater shareholder in any investment adviser (other than the applicable Fund's investment adviser or any investment adviser affiliated with such Fund's investment adviser), collective investment vehicle primarily engaged in the business of investing in "investment securities" (as defined in the 1940 Act) (an "investment company") or entity controlling or controlled by any investment adviser (other than the applicable Fund's investment adviser or any investment adviser affiliated with such Fund's investment adviser) or investment company.

(E) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall not be and shall not have been subject to any censure, order, consent decree (including consent decrees in which the respondent has neither admitted nor denied the findings) or adverse final action of any federal, state or foreign governmental or regulatory authority (including self-regulatory organizations), barring or suspending such individual from participation in or association with any investment-related business or restricting such individual's activities with respect to any investment-related business, nor shall an individual nominated or seated as a trustee be the subject of any investigation or proceeding that could reasonably be expected to result in an individual nominated or seated as a trustee failing to satisfy the requirements of this paragraph, nor shall any individual nominated or seated as a trustee be or have engaged in any conduct that has resulted in, or could have reasonably been expected or would reasonably be expected to result in, the Commission censuring, placing limitations on the activities, functions, or operations of, suspending, or revoking the registration of any investment adviser under Section 203(e) or (f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

(F) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall not have been charged (unless such charges were dismissed or the individual was otherwise exonerated) with a criminal offense involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or breach of trust, or have been convicted or have pled guilty or nolo contendere with respect to a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof.

(G) An individual nominated or seated as a trustee shall not be and shall not have been the subject of any of the ineligibility provisions contained in Section 9(b) of the 1940 Act that would permit, or could reasonably have been expected or would reasonably be expected to permit, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by order to prohibit, conditionally or unconditionally, either permanently or for a period of time, such individual from serving or acting as an employee, officer, trustee, director, member of an advisory board, investment adviser or depositor of, or principal underwriter for, a registered investment company or affiliated person (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) of such investment adviser, depositor, or principal underwriter.

Valuation Committee. Messrs. Neal, Rybak, Toub, Wennlund (Chair) and Mses. Breen and Stuckey, serve on the valuation committee of each board. Each committee member is "independent" as defined by the NASDAQ Listing Rules and is not an "interested person" of the Funds as defined in the 1940 Act. The valuation committees operate under a written charter approved by each board. The valuation committees oversee valuation matters of each Fund delegated to the valuation designee, including the fair valuation determinations and methodologies proposed and utilized by the valuation designee, review the Funds' valuation procedures and their application by the valuation designee, review pricing errors and procedures for calculation of net asset value of each Fund and respond to other matters deemed appropriate by each board.

The following table shows the number of meetings the board and standing committees of CHI, CHY, CSQ, CGO, CHW, CCD and CPZ held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023:

	CHI		CHY		CSQ		CGO		CHW		CCD		CPZ
Board of Trustees		4		4		4		4		4		4		4

Valuation Committee		4		4		4		4		4		4		4
Refinancing Committee**		0		0		0		0		0		0		0

* Although the Funds' Dividend Committee held no meetings, the Dividend Committees acted by written consent on twelve occasions.

** The Refinancing Committee is an ad hoc committee of each fund's board of trustees other than CPZ. The Refinancing Committee assists each such board in fulfilling its responsibilities with regard to the respective fund's mandatory redeemable preferred shares.

All of the trustees and committee members then serving attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board of trustees and applicable committees of each Fund held during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023.

Leadership Structure and Qualifications of the Board of Trustees. Each Fund's board of trustees is responsible for oversight of their respective Fund. Each Fund has engaged Calamos Advisors to manage that Fund on a day-to-day basis. Each board of trustees oversees Calamos Advisors and certain other principal service providers in the operations of their respective Fund.

Each board of trustees is currently composed of seven members, six of whom are non-interested trustees. If the nominees are elected at the meeting of shareholders, each board of trustees will continue to be composed of seven members, six of whom will be non-interested trustees. Each board of trustees meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings four times throughout the year. In addition, each board of trustees may meet in-person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. As described above, each board of trustees has established five standing committees — Audit, Dividend, Executive, Governance and Valuation — and establishes ad hoc committees such as the Refinancing Committee or working groups from time-to-time, to assist each board of trustees in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The non-interested trustees also have engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities. Such independent legal counsel also serves as counsel to each Fund.

The chairman of each board of trustees is an "interested person" of each Fund (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act). The non-interested trustees have appointed a lead independent trustee. The lead independent trustee serves as a liaison between Calamos Advisors and the non-interested trustees and leads the non-interested trustees in all aspects of their oversight of the Funds. Among other things, the lead independent trustee reviews and approves, with the chairman, the agenda for each board and committee meeting and facilitates communication among the Funds' non-interested trustees. The trustees believe that each board of trustees' leadership structure is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Funds. The trustees also believe that this structure facilitates the exercise of each board of trustees' independent judgment in fulfilling its oversight function and efficiently allocates responsibility among committees.

Each board of trustees, including the independent trustees, has unanimously concluded that, based on each trustee's and each nominee's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other trustees and nominees, each continuing trustee should serve, and each nominee should be nominated to serve, as a member of each Board.

In making this determination, the board of trustees has taken into account the actual service of the current trustees during their tenure in concluding that each should continue to serve or be nominated to serve.

The board of trustees also has considered each trustee's and each nominee's background and experience. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience qualifications, attributes or skills of each trustee and nominee that led each board of trustees to conclude that he or she should serve as a trustee.

Each of Ms. Breen and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, and Rybak has served for multiple years as a trustee of the Funds. In addition, each of Mses. Breen and Stuckey and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Rybak, Toub, and Wennlund has more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. Each of Mses. Breen and Stuckey and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Rybak, and Wennlund has experience serving on boards of other entities, including other investment companies. Each of Ms. Breen and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Rybak and Toub has earned a Masters of Business Administration degree.

Risk Oversight. The operation of a registered investment company, including its investment activities, generally involves a variety of risks. As part of its oversight of the Funds, each board of trustees oversees risk through various regular board and committee activities. Each board of trustees, directly or through its committees, reviews reports from, among others, Calamos Advisors, the Funds' Compliance Officer, the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, independent outside legal counsel, and internal auditors of Calamos Advisors or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and the risk management programs of Calamos Advisors and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds resides with Calamos Advisors and other service providers to the Funds. Although the risk management policies of Calamos Advisors and the service providers are designed to be effective, there is no guarantee that they will anticipate or mitigate all risks. Not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, eliminated or mitigated and some risks simply may not be anticipated or may be beyond the control of the board of trustees or Calamos Advisors, its affiliates or other service providers.

Trustee Compensation. The Funds do not compensate any of the trustees who are interested persons of Calamos Advisors.

The compensation paid to the non-interested trustees of the Funds in the Fund Complex for their services as such consists of an annual retainer fee in the amount of $210,000, with annual supplemental retainers of $40,000 to the lead independent trustee, $20,000 to the chair of the audit committee and $10,000 to the chair of any other committee. Each non-interested trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $7,000 for any special board meeting

attended in person, and $3,500 for any special board meeting attended by telephone. The following table sets forth information with respect to the compensation paid by the Funds and the Fund Complex during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, to each of the trustees then serving.

* The Fund Complex includes Calamos Investment Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos ETF Trust, Calamos Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust, Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund, and the Funds.

** Includes fees deferred during the year pursuant to the deferred compensation plan described below.

The Funds in the Fund Complex have adopted a deferred compensation plan for non-interested trustees (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, a trustee who is not an "interested person" of Calamos Advisors and has elected to participate in the Plan ("participating trustees") may defer receipt of all or a portion of his or her compensation from the Funds in the Fund Complex in order to defer payment of income taxes or for other reasons. The deferred compensation payable to a participating trustee is credited to the trustee's deferred compensation account as of the business day such compensation otherwise would have been paid to the trustee. The value of a trustee's deferred compensation account at any time is equal to what the value would be if the amounts credited to the account had instead been invested in Class I shares of one or more of the funds of Calamos Investment Trust as designated by the trustee. Thus, the value of the account increases with contributions to the account or with increases in the value of the measuring shares, and the value of the account decreases with withdrawals from the account or with declines in the value of the measuring shares. If a participating trustee retires, the trustee may elect to receive payments under the plan in a lump sum or in equal annual installments over a period of five years. If a participating trustee dies, any amount payable under the Plan will be paid to the trustee's beneficiaries. Each Fund's obligation to make payments under the Plan is a general obligation of that Fund. No Fund is liable for any other Fund's obligations to make payments under the Plan. As of October 31, 2023, the value of the deferred compensation accounts for Mr. Neal was [ ]

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with Calamos Advisors. According to the terms of those agreements, Calamos Advisors provides portfolio management services to each Fund in consideration for fees based on the Fund's managed assets.

Required Vote. The trustee or trustees of a Fund elected by all preferred and common shareholders voting together will be elected by the vote of a majority of all preferred and common shares of the Fund outstanding and entitled to vote. The trustee of a Fund elected solely by the holders of common shares will be elected by the vote of a majority of the common shares of the Fund outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote.

Board Recommendation

Each Fund's board of trustees unanimously recommends that shareholders of each Fund vote "For" the nominees.

OTHER MATTERS

Each Fund's board of trustees knows of no other matters that are intended to be brought before the meeting. If other matters are properly presented for action at the meeting, and the respective Fund did not have notice of the matter at least 45 days prior to the date on which proxy materials were first sent to shareholders, the proxyholders named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote on those matters in their sole discretion.

Unless a matter is specific to a particular class of shares, holders of the common shares and holders of the preferred shares of each Fund will vote together, as a single class, on any matter that may properly come before the meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. It is not currently expected that any other matter will be raised at the meeting.

How to Vote. Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope. Alternatively, call the toll-free number on the proxy card or access the internet address on the proxy card.

Expenses. The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy cards, the accompanying notice and this proxy statement and all other costs, in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Funds. The Funds may also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of the Funds. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the meeting, additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Funds, Calamos Advisors, the Funds' transfer agent, or by brokers or their representatives or by a solicitation firm that may be engaged by the Funds to assist in proxy solicitations. Any costs associated with such additional solicitation are not anticipated to be significant.

Householding. The Funds reduce the number of duplicate shareholder reports and proxy statements your household receives by sending only one copy of those documents to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. Call the Funds at 1-866-363-9219 or write to the Funds at the address on page one of this proxy statement to request individual copies of shareholder reports and proxy statements, or to request a single copy of shareholder reports and proxy statements if your household is receiving duplicate copies. We will begin sending your household single or multiple copies, as you request, as soon as practicable after receiving your request.

Revoking a Proxy. At any time before it has been voted, you may revoke your proxy by: (1) sending a letter saying that you are revoking your proxy to the Secretary of the Funds at the Funds' offices located at 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, Illinois 60563-2787; (2) properly executing and sending a later-dated proxy; or (3) attending the meeting, requesting return of any previously delivered proxy, and voting in person. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date.

Quorum, Voting at the Meeting, and Adjournment. For any matter that may properly come before the meeting of a Fund, one-third of the shares entitled to vote on the matter constitutes a quorum for that matter. For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and for determining whether sufficient votes have been received for approval of any

matter to be acted upon at the meeting, abstentions and broker nonvotes will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting but have not been voted.

If a quorum is not present in person or by proxy at the meeting, or if a quorum is present at the meeting but not enough votes to approve a proposal are received, the persons named as proxyholders may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. If a quorum is present with respect to any one or more proposals, the chairman of the meeting may, but shall not be required to, cause a vote to be taken with respect to any such proposal or proposals which vote can be certified as final and effective notwithstanding the adjournment of the meeting with respect to any other proposal or proposals. A proposal for adjournment of the meeting for a Fund may be approved by the vote of a majority of the shares of the Fund represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. In addition, the meeting may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting for any reason. Prior to the date the meeting is to be held, the board of each Fund or the president may postpone the meeting one or more times for any reason to a date not more than ninety (90) days beyond the originally scheduled meeting date by giving notice to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act and Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act require the Funds' trustees and officers, investment adviser, affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms reporting their affiliation with the Fund(s) and reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Funds' shares with the SEC. Those persons and entities are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of any Section 16(a) form they file. Based on a review of those forms furnished to the Funds, the Funds believe that their trustees and officers and investment adviser have complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the last fiscal year. Except as otherwise stated above, to the knowledge of each Fund's management, no person owns beneficially more than 10% of a class of the Fund's equity securities.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The audit committee of each Fund's board of trustees reviews that Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent auditors, and the committee meets periodically with the independent and internal auditors to consider their evaluation of the Fund's financial and internal controls.

Each audit committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with management and the Fund's independent and internal auditors. The committees have reviewed and discussed the audited financial

statements with management. Management has represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The audit committees have also discussed with the independent auditors various matters as required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees) and the independent auditors' independence. The independent auditors provided to the committees the written disclosure required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the representatives of the independent auditors confirmed to the committees their firm's independence.

Based on each audit committee's review and discussions with management and the independent auditors, the representations of management and the reports of the independent auditors to the committees, each committee recommended that the respective Fund include the audited financial statements in the Fund's annual report.

The members of the audit committee are: Virginia G. Breen, John E. Neal, William R. Rybak, Karen L. Stuckey, Christopher M. Toub, and Lloyd A. Wennlund.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The charter of the audit committee of each Fund provides that the committee shall pre-approve the engagement of the Fund's independent accountant to provide audit and non-audit services to the Fund and non-audit services to Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors that provides ongoing services to the Fund if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Fund, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent accountants, with certain exceptions. Under the charter, the committee may delegate pre- approval authority to a member of the committee, who must report any pre-approvals to the committee at its next meeting.

All services provided to each Fund described under the paragraphs entitled Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees were pre-approved in accordance with the audit committee charter. There were no

services provided to Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors described in the paragraphs entitled Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees that were required to be pre-approved by the audit committees.

Each Fund's audit committee has considered whether D&T's provision of services (other than audit services to each Fund) to CAM, Calamos Advisors and affiliates of Calamos Advisors is compatible with maintaining D&T's independence in performing audit services.

CUSTODIAN, FUND ACCOUNTING AGENT, AND
ADMINISTRATOR

Each Fund has entered into agreements with State Street Bank and Trust Company, whose principal business address is 100 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, to provide custodian, fund accounting and administrative services.

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

Shareholders are able to send communications to the Fund's governance committee by mail addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at its principal office at 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, Illinois 60563-2787. The Secretary will forward any communication received for the governance committee directly to the committee. The Funds do not have a policy with regard

to trustee attendance at annual meetings. Six of the trustees of each Fund attended the 2023 annual meeting.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

A shareholder proposal for inclusion in the proxy for the 2025 annual meeting of a Fund should be submitted in writing pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act to the Secretary of the Fund at 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, Illinois 60563-2787. Any such proposal must be received by us at the address above by the close of business on January 14, 2025.

Shareholders who do not wish to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Funds' combined proxy statements and form of proxy for the 2024 annual meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 may submit a proposal for consideration at the 2024 annual meeting in accordance with each Fund's bylaws. Each Fund's bylaws require that advance notice be given to the Fund in the event a shareholder wishes to propose nominations for election to the board of trustees or propose other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting.

The required notice must be in writing and received at the address listed above between January 14, 2025 and the close of business on February 13, 2025. In order to be considered timely, such notice shall be delivered to the Fund's Secretary at the principal executive office of the Funds listed above and shall set forth all information required under the Fund's bylaws. Timely submission of a proposal does not mean the proposal will be included in the proxy material sent to shareholders.

Each Fund's bylaws provide that shareholders may only make proposals regarding underlying matters on which they are entitled to vote. In addition, nominations of persons for election as a trustee and the proposal of other business may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders by any shareholder who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving notice required by the Fund's bylaws and who held shares continuously until the time of the annual meeting (the "Holding Period"). Other than nominations of persons for election as a trustee, shareholders proposing other business must hold, together with any other shareholders proposing such business, at least 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or 5% of the outstanding shares of the series or class to which the proposal relates continuously through the Holding Period.

The foregoing is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and bylaws both of which have been filed as exhibits to each Fund's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 26, 2021.

Appendix A

Procedures for Shareholder Nomination of Trustee Candidate

A Fund shareholder who wishes to nominate a candidate to a Fund's board of trustees must submit any such recommendation in writing via regular mail to the attention of the Fund's Secretary, at the address of the Fund's principal executive offices. The shareholder recommendation must include:

• the number and class of all Fund shares owned beneficially and of record by the nominating shareholder at the time the recommendation is submitted and the dates on which such shares were acquired, specifying the number of shares owned beneficially;

• a description of all arrangements, agreements or understandings between the nominating shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the shareholder recommendation is being made (including the candidate), and if none, so specify;

• a representation, which is complied with, that the nominating shareholder is a shareholder of record of the Fund entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination;

• a representation, which is complied with, that the nominating shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to shareholders entitled to cast the requisite number of votes to elect the nominee;

• any other information relating to the nominating shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, that much be disclosed in solicitation of proxies for election of trustees in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or otherwise would be required, in each case pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

• a full listing of the proposed candidate's education, experience (including knowledge of the investment company industry, experience as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, and directorships on other boards of other registered investment companies), current employment, date of birth, business and residence address, and the names and addresses of at least three professional references;

• information as to whether the candidate is, has been or may be an "interested person" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the

Funds, Calamos Advisors or any of its affiliates, and, if believed not to be or have been an "interested person," information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the governance committee to make such determination;

• the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a trustee of the Funds, if elected;

• the class or series and number of all shares of the Funds owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported by the candidate; and

• such other information that would be helpful to the governance committees in evaluating the candidate.

The governance committees may require the nominating shareholder to furnish other information they may reasonably require or deem necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to the procedures delineated above or to determine the qualifications and eligibility of the candidate proposed by the nominating shareholder to serve as a trustee. If the nominating shareholder fails to provide such additional information in writing within seven days of receipt of written request from the governance committees, the recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not properly submitted for consideration, and the governance committees are not required to consider such candidate.

Unless otherwise specified by the governance committees' chairman or by legal counsel to the non-interested trustees, the Funds' Secretary will promptly forward all shareholder recommendations to the governance committees' chairman and the legal counsel to the non-interested trustees, indicating whether the shareholder recommendation has been properly submitted pursuant to the procedures adopted by the governance committees for the consideration of trustee candidates nominated by shareholders.

Recommendations for candidates as trustees will be evaluated, among other things, in light of whether the number of trustees is expected to change and whether the trustees expect any vacancies. During periods when the governance committees are not actively recruiting new trustees, shareholder recommendations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way. After consideration of a shareholder recommendation, the governance committees may dispose of the shareholder recommendation.
