Calamos Funds Proxy Update

 

To Shareholders of

CALAMOS INVESTMENT TRUST

2020 Calmos Court

Naperville, Illinois 60563-2787

 

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

 

At the Calamos Funds Special Meeting of Shareholders held on August 19, 2025, Calamos Investment Trust along with the Board of Trustees presented a series of proposals to shareholders, including the election of Trustees, several proposals relating to modernizing the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, and the removal of an investment restriction for four funds.

 

RESULTS OF THE SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING:

 

We are pleased to report that shareholders overwhelmingly supported the election of the Trustees presented at the meeting and were extremely supportive of the updates to the Declaration of Trust. As a result, several of the funds in the Trust approved all proposals and the polls were closed for these funds. There were, however, some funds that have not yet fulfilled quorum requirements necessary to hold the vote. Calamos and the Board of Trustees adjourned the Special Meeting for these funds to September 30, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time.

 

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE DECLARATION OF TRUST:

 

1.	Eliminates outdated limitations on the original Declaration of Trust first established almost 40 years ago.

 

2.	Modernizes the Declaration of Trust to further conform it with the current regulatory environment today.

 

3.	Creates efficiencies in managing and overseeing the funds and eliminates costly expenditures.

 

WE NEED YOUR VOTE TO WRAP UP THE SPECIAL MEETING.
