On September 24, 2025, the Trust's Board of Trustees approved, at the request of the Funds' investment adviser, Calamos Advisors LLC (the "Advisor"), certain changes to each Fund's principal investment strategies.
In order to provide greater flexibility to manage the unencumbered cash of each Fund and to invest in income-generating assets over and above U.S. Treasury securities, the Advisor seeks to add the use of offsetting sets of options (referred to as "box spreads") to each Fund's principal investment strategies. The Advisor anticipates that the Funds will use FLEX Options for this purpose. FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the "OCC").
In connection with these changes, the current investment policy by which each of the Funds, under normal market conditions, seeks to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in investments that provide exposure to Spot bitcoin will be revised to reflect each Fund's ability to engage in box spread trades. Pursuant to the amended policy, each Fund, under normal market conditions, will seek to invest at least 80% of its net assets in investments that provide exposure to Spot Bitcoin, and these investments may include investments in box spreads.
These changes are anticipated to be effective on or about November 28, 2025 and will be reflected in each Fund's prospectus at such time.
