Introducing an all-weather private credit approach

Calamos Advisors LLC, a leader in liquid alternatives, and Aksia LLC, a global leader in private credit, have joined forces to offer Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund — an institutional-style private credit solution that seeks to address the challenges of interest rates, inflation, market volatility, economic uncertainty and the search for income.

Pursuing a unique opportunity in private credit

Institutional Access: Taps into the growing private credit asset class, leveraging Aksia LLC's global relationships, leading sourcing partners and potential deal flow

Broad Private Credit Exposure: Seeks to invest in the full spectrum of global private credit, beyond just direct lending and traded credit

Interval Fund Convenience: Encompasses point-and-click daily subscriptions, no accredited investor requirement and quarterly distributions with reporting on Form 1099-DIV

Liquidity Management Capabilities: Actively manages liquidity with the aim of generating yield while prepositioning for 5% quarterly repurchase needs

Enhanced Income: Targets attractive yield and lower correlation; supported by diverse return drivers and collateral exposures

Favorable Time to Invest: Offers a clean portfolio to capitalize on market paradigm shifts, reduced liquidity for borrowers and persistent demand for capital

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 — Organization

Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund (the "Fund") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 24, 2022. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company and operates as an interval fund, commencing operations on June 8, 2023. The Fund's investment advisor is Calamos Advisors LLC (the "Advisor" or "Calamos") and the Fund's sub-advisor is Aksia LLC (the "Sub-Advisor" or "Aksia" and together, the "Advisors"). The Advisor and the Sub-Advisor are each registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act").

The SEC has granted the Fund exemptive relief permitting the Fund to offer multiple classes of shares. The Fund offers four separate classes of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") designated as Class A ("Class A Shares"), Class C ("Class C Shares"), Class I ("Class I Shares") and Class M ("Class M Shares"). An investment in any Share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions and ongoing fees and expenses for each Share class are different.

The Fund's investment objectives are to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns and high current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by primarily investing across the private credit asset class ("Private Credit"), with the remainder of the Fund's assets invested in one or more liquid alternative investment strategies, which seek to outperform cash yields.

Consolidation of Subsidiary

The Fund may make investments through wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a "Subsidiary" and together, the "Subsidiaries"). Such Subsidiaries will not be registered under the 1940 Act; however, the Fund will wholly own and control any Subsidiaries. The Fund's Board of Trustees has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in any Subsidiary, and the Fund's role as sole owner of any Subsidiary. To the extent applicable to the investment activities of a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. The Fund would "look through" any such Subsidiary to determine compliance with its investment policies. The Fund complies with Section 8 of the 1940 Act governing investment policies on an aggregate basis with any Subsidiary. The Fund also complies with Section 18 of the 1940 Act governing capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with each Subsidiary so that the Fund treats a Subsidiary's debt as its own for purposes of Section 18. Further, each Subsidiary complies with the provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody. The Fund will not create or acquire primary control of any entity which engages in investment activities in securities or other assets, other than entities wholly-owned by the Fund.

As of September 30, 2024, the Fund had one active Subsidiary: Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund Sub 1, LLC ("Sub 1"), a Delaware limited liability company, which commencement of operations on April 19, 2024. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of Sub 1. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation for the Fund. As of September 30, 2024 the net assets of Sub 1 were $3,049,873, which constituted 1.04% of the Fund's net assets.

On September 9, 2024, Calamos Aksia Credit and Income Fund Sub 2, LLC ("Sub 2") (Cayman Exempted LLC) was formed as a Cayman Islands limited liability company to hold certain offshore investments and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. Sub 2 commenced operations on October 14, 2024.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Use of Estimates

The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Valuation of Investments

The Fund's net asset value ("NAV") per Share is determined daily by the Advisor as of the close of business on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for trading or at such other times as the Board may determine. In accordance with the procedures approved by the Board, the NAV per outstanding Share of beneficial interest is determined, on a class-specific basis, by dividing the value of total assets minus liabilities by the total number of Shares outstanding.

The Board has designated the Advisor as its Valuation Designee to perform fair valuation determinations for the Fund with respect to all Fund investments. The Board oversees the Advisor in its role as Valuation Designee and has approved valuation policy for the Fund (the "Valuation Policy") and the Advisor's valuation procedures (the "Valuation Procedures"). The Advisor, as Valuation Designee, has formed a separate valuation committee (the "Valuation Committee") for determining the fair value of the Fund's investments. The Valuation Committee oversees the implementation of the Valuation Procedures and may consult with representatives from the Fund's outside legal counsel or other third-party consultants in their discussions and deliberations. The Valuation Committee is composed of individuals affiliated with the Advisor.

The Advisor, including through the Valuation Committee, conducts the valuation determinations, provides primary day-to-day oversight of valuation of the Fund's investments and acts in accordance with the Valuation Procedures as approved by the Board. The Fund's investment portfolio is valued at least each quarter, in accordance with the Valuation Policies and Valuation Procedures.

The Advisor values securities/instruments traded in active markets on the measurement date by multiplying the closing price of such traded securities/instruments by the quantity of shares or amount of the instrument held. The Advisor values securities/instruments that are not actively traded but whose fair value can be determined based on other observable market data using a price determined by an approved independent pricing vendor.

For securities/instruments with significant unobservable fair value inputs, the valuation approach may vary by security/instrument but may include discounted cash flow analysis, comparable public market valuations and comparable transaction valuations. Factors that might materially impact the value of an investment (e.g., operating results, financial condition, achievement of milestones, economic and/or market events and recent sales prices) may be considered. The factors and methodologies used for the valuation of such securities/instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities/instruments nor can it be assured that the Fund can realize the fair value assigned to a instrument/security if it were to sell the instrument/security. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, they often reflect only periodic information received by the Advisor about such companies' financial condition and/or business operations, which may be on a lagged basis and therefore fluctuate over time and can be based on estimates. Determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if an exchange-traded market for these instruments/securities existed.

The Advisor may engage one or more independent valuation firms to perform procedures, including providing input about calculation models or providing assurance on the concluded fair values for individual investments held by the Fund. Such independent third-party pricing services and independent third-party valuation services may be utilized by the Advisor to verify valuation models pursuant to the Fund's valuation policy at such timing intervals as the Advisor may deem appropriate.

Primary and secondary investments in private markets funds are generally valued based on the latest NAV reported by the third-party fund manager. If the NAV of an investment in a private markets fund is not available at the time the Fund is calculating its NAV, the Fund will review any cash flows since the reference date of the last NAV for a private markets fund received by the Fund from a third-party manager until the determination date are recognized by (i) adding the nominal amount of the investment related capital calls and (ii) deducting the nominal amount of investment related distributions from the NAV as reported by the third-party fund manager.

Notwithstanding the above, managers of primary and secondary investments in private markets funds may adopt a variety of valuation bases and provide differing levels of information where there will generally be no liquid markets for such investments. Consequently, there are inherent difficulties in determining the fair value that cannot be eliminated. None of the Valuation Committee, the Board, the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor will be able to confirm independently the accuracy of valuations provided by these investments in private market funds (which are generally unaudited). Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments for which market values are not readily available, the fair value of these investments may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, such fair value may differ materially from the values that may have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may significantly differ from the value ultimately realized by the Fund.


21


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

If the Advisor reasonably believes an opinion from an independent valuation firm or pricing vendor is inaccurate or unreliable, the Advisor's Valuation Committee will determine a good-faith fair valuation for the impacted investment. The Advisor's Valuation Committee, who is solely responsible for the determination of the fair value of the investments, will consider all available information at its disposal prior to making a valuation determination, including information or opinions from third-party firms.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. However, for NAV determination, portfolio securities transactions are reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium, accretion of discount and loan origination fees using the effective interest method over the respective term of the loan. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount are recorded as interest income. The Fund records prepayment premiums as interest income when it receives such amounts.

Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using cost calculated on a specific identification basis. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Some or all of the interest payments of a loan or preferred equity may be structured in the form of Paid-in-kind ("PIK"), which accrues to cost and principal on a current basis but is generally not paid in cash until maturity or some other determined payment date. Interest payments structured in the form of PIK are subject to the risk that a borrower could default when actual cash interest or principal payments are due. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from private investments that represent returns of capital in excess of cumulative profits and losses are credited to investment cost rather than investment income.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to qualify annually as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.

Additionally, Sub 1 is a domestic limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a C-corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and is required to account for its estimate of income taxes through the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability. Sub 1 recognizes deferred income taxes for temporary differences in the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards or net operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. To the extent Sub 1 has a deferred tax asset, the Adviser considers whether or not a valuation allowance is required.

For Federal Income tax purposes, the Fund utilizes a tax year end of September 30. Accordingly, the tax components included herein are based on tax attributes as of September 30, 2024.

At September 30, 2024, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of investments

 

$

317,009,366

Gross unrealized depreciation

   

(730,052

)

 

Net unrealized appreciation on investments

 

$

3,529,050

   

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

As of September 30, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

During the tax year ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Fund utilized $0 of short-term and $0 of long-term non-expiring capital loss carryforwards, respectively.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the "Income Tax Statement") requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the Consolidated financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and for the period from the commencement of the Fund's operations on June 8, 2023 through March 31, 2024, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions are paid at least monthly on the Shares in amounts representing substantially all of the Fund's net investment income, if any, earned each year. Effective as of August 1, 2024, the Fund's distribution policy changed to increase the frequency of distributions from quarterly to monthly. The Fund determines annually whether to distribute any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses (including capital loss carryover); however, it may distribute any excess annually to its shareholders.

Foreign Currency and Exchange

The Fund's Shares are denominated in U.S. dollars and will be issued in U.S. dollars. A portion of the Fund's investments (and the income and gains received by the Fund in respect of such investments) may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. However, the books of the Fund will be maintained, and contributions to and distributions from the Fund will generally be made, in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange controls may materially adversely affect the value of the investments and the other assets of the Fund. For example, any significant depreciation in the exchange rate of the Euro, or any other currency in which the Fund makes investments, against the U.S. dollar, could adversely affect the value of dividends or proceeds on investments denominated in the Euro or such other currencies. In addition, the Fund will incur costs, which may be significant, in connection with the conversion of various currencies. The Advisors generally intend to hedge the foreign currency exposure of the Fund; however, the Fund will necessarily be subject to foreign exchange risks. In addition, prospective investors whose assets and liabilities are predominantly in other currencies should take into account the potential risk of loss arising from fluctuations in value between U.S. dollars and such other currencies. The Fund may enter into forward contracts to hedge exchange risk exposure.


23


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("forward contracts") under which they are obligated to exchange currencies on specified future dates at specified rates and are subject to the translations of foreign exchange rates fluctuations. All contracts are "marked-to-market" daily and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency translations. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is settled. Counterparties to these forward contracts are major U.S. financial institutions. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Collateralized Loan Obligations and Collateralized Debt Obligations

The Fund may invest in Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs"). CLOs and CDOs are created by the grouping of certain private loans and other lender assets/collateral into pools. A sponsoring organization establishes a special purpose vehicle to hold the assets/collateral and issue securities. Interests in these pools are sold as individual securities. Payments of principal and interest are passed through to investors and are typically supported by some form of credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit, surety bond, limited guaranty or senior/subordination. Payments from the asset pools may be divided into several different tranches of debt securities, offering investors various maturity and credit risk characteristics. Some tranches entitled to receive regular installments of principal and interest, other tranches entitled to receive regular installments of interest, with principal payable at maturity or upon specified call dates, and other tranches only entitled to receive payments of principal and accrued interest at maturity or upon specified call dates. Different tranches of securities will bear different interest rates, which may be fixed or floating.

CLOs and CDOs are typically privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws, which means less information about the security may be available as compared to publicly offered securities and only certain institutions may buy and sell them. As a result, investments in CLOs and CDOs may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities. An active dealer market may exist for CLOs and CDOs that can be resold in Rule 144A transactions, but there can be no assurance that such a market will exist or will be active enough for the Fund to sell such securities.

Private Investment Funds

The Fund may also invest in private investment funds (i.e., investment funds that would be investment companies but for the exemptions under Section 3(c)(1), 3(c)(5)(C) or 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act) that invest or trade in a wide range of securities. When the Fund invests in securities issued by private investment funds, it will bear its pro rata portion of the private funds' expenses. These expenses are in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund's own operations, thereby increasing indirect costs and potentially reducing returns to Shareholders. A private investment fund in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the private investment fund's shares and therefore the value of the Fund's investments. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of a private investment fund will be achieved. A private investment fund may change its investment objective or policies without the Fund's approval, which could force the Fund to withdraw its investment from such private investment fund at a time that is unfavorable to the Fund. In addition, one private investment fund may buy the same securities that another private investment fund sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.

Subsequent closings for closed-end private investment funds afford such funds the option to launch the fund as soon as they have secured enough soft commitments and allow the general partner to increase the speed of the fund to take advantage of investments in the market. Rebalancing or equalization occurs each time capital is called after each subsequent closing has occurred and is the process of truing-up all investors as if they had joined the fund during the initial closing. For six months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund experienced equalization and resulted in the interest expense of $575,590, as noted in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as Interest on subsequent close of private investment funds.

Participations and Assignments

The Fund may acquire interests in loans either directly (by way of original issuance, sale or assignment) or indirectly (by way of participation). The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, its rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution. Participation interests in a portion of a debt obligation typically result in a contractual relationship only with the institution participating in the interest, not with the borrower. In purchasing

CALAMOS AKSIA ALTERNATIVE CREDIT AND INCOME FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT
24


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, counterparties, debt agents, borrowers, private investment funds, or other parties and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from parties with whom it conducts business.

Commercial loans purchased by the Fund (whether through participations or as a lender of record) may be structured to include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of investment, and unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving corporate loans and delayed draw term loans, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand, representing a potential financial obligation by the Fund in the future. The Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of such unfunded loan commitments. The commitment fee is typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Commitment fees are processed as income when received and are part of the interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund received $85,237 in commitment fees.

Repurchase Offers

To provide Shareholders with limited liquidity, the Fund is structured as an "interval fund" and intends to conduct quarterly repurchase offers for between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. Under normal market conditions, the Fund currently intends to repurchase 5% of its outstanding Shares at NAV on a quarterly basis. The offer to purchase Shares is a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Borrowing, Use of Leverage

On July 17, 2023, the Fund entered into a senior secured credit facility (the "Secured Credit Facility") with PNC Capital Markets LLC as a lead arranger, PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") as administrative agent and syndication agent and with certain lenders from time to time as parties thereto (the "Lenders"), as amended by that certain first amendment thereto, dated as of July 10, 2024 (the "Amendment"), and as further amended, supplemented or modified from time to time. The Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings on a committed basis in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100,000,000, which amount may be increased from time to time upon mutual agreement by the parties, not to exceed $300,000,000. The Secured Credit Facility matures on July 14, 2025.

CALAMOS AKSIA ALTERNATIVE CREDIT AND INCOME FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT
26


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

As of September 30, 2024, the Fund had an outstanding principal balance under the Secured Credit Facility, in the amount of $26,000,000.

For the six months period ended September 30, 2024, the average balance outstanding, maximum amount borrowed and weighted average interest rate under the Secured Credit Facility were $19,702,168, $32,000,000 and 7.80%, respectively, for the 183 days the Secured Credit Facility was used. In addition, the interest rate as of September 30, 2024 on the Secured Credit Facility was 7.35%. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the interest expense was $897,765. The Fund pays loan origination fees in connection with securing and renewing the Secured Credit Facility. The loan origination fees are presented on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabillities as a direct deduction from the debt liability. These fees are expensed over the corresponding term of the Secured Credit Facility on a straight line basis and not inclusive of the expense limitation agreement discussed below. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, loan origination fees incurred as a result of the Amendment were $137,530. As of September 30, 2024, unamortized loan origination fees were $123,882.

The use of leverage increases both risk of loss and profit potential. The Fund is subject to the 1940 Act requirement that an investment company satisfy an asset coverage requirement of 300% of its indebtedness, including amounts borrowed, measured at the time the investment company incurs the indebtedness. This means that at any given time the value of the Fund's total indebtedness may not exceed one-third the value of its total assets (including such indebtedness). The interests of persons with whom the Fund enters into leverage arrangements will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of the Fund's shareholders and such persons will have claims on the Fund's assets that are senior to those of the Fund's shareholders. In addition to the risks created by the Fund's use of leverage, the Fund is subject to the additional risk that it would be unable to timely, or at all, obtain leverage borrowing. The Fund might also be required to de-leverage, selling securities at a potentially inopportune time and incurring tax consequences. Further, the Fund's ability to generate income from the use of leverage would be adversely affected.

Note 3 — Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement, (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"), by and between the Fund and the Advisor, and in consideration of the advisory services provided by the Advisor to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to an investment management fee (the "Investment Management Fee") payable monthly in arrears and accrued daily based upon the Fund's average daily net assets at an annual rate of 1.25%. In addition, pursuant to the sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and Aksia (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"), the Advisor pays Aksia a sub-advisory fee (the "Sub-Advisory Fee") payable monthly in arrears and accrued daily based upon the Fund's average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.625%. The Investment Management Fee paid to the Advisor will be paid out of the Fund's assets and the Sub-Advisory Fee will be paid by the Advisor out of its Investment Management Fee.

The Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and the Fund have entered into the Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Advisor and Sub-Advisor have contractually agreed on a monthly basis, until at least April 27, 2026, to reimburse on a 50/50 basis between the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor the Fund's "Specified Expenses" in respect of each class of the Fund where "Specified Expenses" means all other expenses incurred in the business of the Fund and allocated to a Class, including the Fund's annual operating expenses, with the exception of (i) the Investment Management Fee, (ii) the Shareholder Servicing Fee, (iii) the Distribution Fee (as defined herein), (iv) certain costs associated with the acquisition, ongoing investment and disposition of the Fund's investments and unconsummated investments, including legal costs, professional fees, travel costs and brokerage costs, (v) acquired fund fees and expenses, (vi) dividend and interest payments (including any dividend payments, interest expenses, commitment fees, or other expenses related to any leverage incurred by the Fund), (vii) taxes and costs to reclaim foreign taxes, and (viii) extraordinary expenses (as determined in the discretion of the Advisor and Sub- Advisor), to the extent that such expenses exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class (the "Expense Limitation").

If, while the Advisor is the investment advisor to the Fund and the Sub-Advisor is investment sub-advisor to the Fund, the Fund's estimated annualized Specified Expenses in respect of a Class for a given month are less than the Expense Limitation, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund on a 50/50 basis of the other expenses borne by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor on behalf of the Fund (the "Reimbursement Amount") during any of the previous thirty-six (36) months, but only to the extent that the Fund's estimated annualized Specified Expenses in respect of a Class are less than, for such month, the lesser of the Expense Limitation or any other relevant expense limit then in effect with respect to the Class, and provided that such amount paid to the Advisor and Sub-Advisor will in no event exceed the total Reimbursement Amount and will not include any amounts previously reimbursed. The Advisor and Sub-Advisor may recapture


27


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

a Specified Expense in any year within the thirty-six (36) month period after the Advisor and Sub-Advisor bear the expense. The Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect for a three-year period from April 28, 2023, unless and until the Board approves its modification or termination. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation Agreement may be renewed annually with the written agreement of the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, and the Fund. The Fund's obligation to make reimbursement payments shall survive the termination of the Expense Limitation Agreement. "For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor waived their fees and absorbed other expenses totaling $556,267. For a period not to exceed three years from the date on which advisory fees are waived or Fund expenses absorbed by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor may recoup amounts waived or absorbed, provided it is able to effect such recoupment and remain in compliance with (a) the limitation on Fund expenses in effect at the time of the relevant reduction in advisory fees or payment of the Fund's expenses, and (b) the limitation on Fund expenses at the time of the recoupment. At September 30, 2024, the amount of these potentially recoverable expenses was $1,146,092. Waived fees and absorbed other expenses subject to potential recovery by month of expiration are as follows:

June 2026 - March 2027

The Fund has adopted a "Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan" with respect to its Class A, Class C and Class M Shares under which the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals for distribution-related expenses, if applicable, and providing ongoing services in respect of clients with whom they have distributed Shares of the Fund. Such services may include electronic processing of client orders, electronic fund transfers between clients and the Fund, account reconciliations with the Fund's transfer agent, facilitation of electronic delivery to clients of Fund documentation, monitoring client accounts for back-up withholding and any other special tax reporting obligations, maintenance of books and records with respect to the foregoing, and such other information and liaison services as the Fund or the Advisor may reasonably request. Under the Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund, with respect to Class A, Class C and Class M, may incur expenses on an annual basis equal to 0.25%, 1.00% and 0.75%, respectively, of its average daily net assets. With respect to Class A Shares, the entire fee is characterized as a "shareholder service fee." With respect to Class C Shares, up to 0.25% of the fee is characterized as a "shareholder service fee" and the remaining portion is characterized as a "distribution fee." With respect to Class M Shares, the entire fee is characterized as a "distribution fee."

UMB Fund Services, Inc. (the "Administrator") serves as administrator, accounting agent and transfer agent to the Fund. Pursuant to the agreement with the Administrator, for the services rendered to the Fund by the Administrator, the Fund pays the Administrator the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets for fund administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services.

The Fund has entered into a Custody Agreement with UMB Bank, n.a. (the "Custodian"). Under the terms of this agreement, the Custodian will serve as custodian of the Fund's assets.

The Fund has entered into a distribution agreement with Calamos Financial Services, LLC to act as the distributor for the sale of Shares. Calamos Financial Services, LLC is an affiliate of Calamos Advisors LLC.

Note 4 — Fair Value of Investments

Fair Value — Definition

The Fund uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•  Level1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

CALAMOS AKSIA ALTERNATIVE CREDIT AND INCOME FUND SEMIANNUAL REPORT
28


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

•  Level 2 — Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

•  Level3 — Valuations based on inputs that are both significant and unobservable to the overall fair value measurement.

Investments in Private Investment Funds measured based upon NAV as a practical expedient to determine fair value are not required to be categorized in the fair value hierarchy, however these amounts are shown in the table below under net asset value in order to reconcile back to the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the investment. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The following table summarizes the Fund's investments that are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024:

The minimum initial investment by an investor in the Fund is $2,500 with respect to Class A Shares and Class C Shares, $1,000,000 for Class I Shares and $10,000 with respect to Class M Shares, which stated minimum may be reduced for certain investors. Investors purchasing Class A Shares may be charged a front-end sales load of up to 2.25% of the investor's net purchase. Class C Shares, Class I Shares and Class M Shares are not subject to front-end sales loads. While Class M Shares are not charged a front-end sales load, if you purchase Class M Shares through certain financial firms, they may directly charge you transaction or other fees in such amount as they may determine.

A shareholder whose Shares (or a portion thereof) are repurchased by the Fund will not be entitled to a return of any sales charge that was charged in connection with the shareholder's purchase of the Shares.

Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, on a quarterly basis, the Fund offers shareholders holding all classes of shares the option of tendering shares at NAV. The Board determines the quarterly repurchase offer amount ("Repurchase Offer Amount"), which can be no less than 5% and no more than 25% of all shares of all classes outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. If shareholders tender more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of all outstanding shares of the Fund on the repurchase request

deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if shareholders tender Shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding Shares on the repurchase request deadline, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than one hundred Shares and who tender all of their Shares, before prorating other amounts tendered.

Note 6 — Investment Transactions

For the six months ended September 30, 2024, purchases net of unfunded commitments and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $230,294,468 and $51,523,302, respectively.

Note 7 — Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 — Derivatives and Hedging Disclosures

U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund's derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effects on the Fund's financial position, performance and cash flows. The Fund invested in forward foreign exchange currency contracts for the six months ended September 30, 2024 in order to hedge portfolio currency risk. By entering into forward foreign exchange currency contracts, the Fund agrees to exchange different currencies at a specified exchange rate at an agreed-upon future date. The Fund may be susceptible to the risk of changes in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward contract and of the counterparty's potential inability to fulfill the terms of the contract. The Fund may be susceptible to losses if interest rate or foreign currency exchange rates or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the Fund or if the reference index, security or investments do not perform as expected, and are subject to counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation, correlation and leverage risk.

Note 9 — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

A fund mitigates credit risk with respect to over the counter derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments' payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the fund's custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

It is the Fund's policy to recognize a net asset or liability equal to the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of each derivative contract. As of September 30, 2024, the Fund is subject to master netting arrangements for forward foreign currency

The collateral amounts may exceed the related net amounts of financial assets and liabilities presented in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Where this is the case, the total amount reported is limited to the net amounts of financial assets and liabilities with that counterparty.

Risk Factors

An investment in the Fund involves a high degree of risk and other considerations and, therefore, should be undertaken only by investors capable of evaluating the risks of the Fund and bearing the risks it represents. Below is a summary of some of the principal risks of investing in the Fund. For a more complete discussion of the risks of investing in the Fund, see "Types of Investments and Related Risks" in the Fund's prospectus.

•  Unlike most closed-end funds, the Fund's Shares will not be listed on any securities exchange;

•  Although the Fund has implemented a quarterly share repurchase program, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all of the Shares that the investor desires to sell. The Fund should therefore be considered to offer limited liquidity;

•  The capital markets may experience periods of disruption and instability, including as a result of events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics or other adverse public health developments. Such market conditions may materially and adversely affect debt and equity capital markets, which may have a negative impact on the Fund's investments, business, and operations;

•  The Fund is exposed to risks associated with changes in interest rates;

•  The Fund's investments in securities and other obligations of companies that are experiencing distress involve a substantial degree of risk are generally considered speculative and may be subject to U.S. federal, state or non-U.S. bankruptcy laws or fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws;

•  Certain investments may be exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with whom the Fund deals or of third- party contractual customers of such counterparties;

•  The valuation of securities or instruments that lack a central trading place (such as fixed-income securities or instruments) may carry greater risk than those that trade on an exchange;

•  The Fund's investments in certain portfolio companies may be risky. For the Fund's investments in senior secured lien loans, the collateral securing these investments may decrease in value or lose its entire value over time or may fluctuate based on the performance of the portfolio company which may lead to a loss in principal;

•  The Fund's investments may include securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as "high yield" or "junk," have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal and may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns, which could cause losses;

•  Derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets of the Fund;

•  The Fund may be materially adversely affected by market, economic and political conditions globally and in the jurisdictions and sectors in which the Fund invests;

•  Non-U.S. securities may be traded in undeveloped, inefficient, and less liquid markets and may experience greater price volatility and changes in value — changes in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of and returns on foreign denominated investments;

•  There is no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved;

•  The Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified, closed-end investment company with limited operating history; and

•  To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs under the Code, the Fund must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements, and failure to do so could result in the loss of RIC status.

Accordingly, the Fund should be considered a speculative investment that entails substantial risks, and a prospective investor should invest in the Fund only if it can sustain a complete loss of its investment.
