Effective December 16, 2019, the section titled Leadership Structure and Qualifications of the Board of Trustees beginning on page S-30 of the Statement of Additional Information is deleted and replaced with the following:
Leadership Structure and Qualifications of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is responsible for oversight of the Fund. The
Fund has engaged Calamos to manage the Fund on a day-to-day basis. The Board of Trustees oversees Calamos and certain other principal service providers in the operations
of the Fund. The Board of Trustees is currently composed of nine members, eight of whom are non-interested trustees. The Board of Trustees meets in-person at regularly
scheduled meetings four times throughout the year. In addition, the Board may meet in-person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. As described above, the Board of
Trustees has established five standing committees Audit, Dividend, Executive, Governance and Valuation and may establish ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time, to assist the 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 the Fund.
The chairman of the Board of Trustees is an interested person of the 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 and the non-interested trustees and leads
the non-interested trustees in all aspects of their oversight of the Fund. 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 the Boards leadership structure is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances
of the Fund. The Trustees also believe that this structure facilitates the exercise of the Boards independent judgment in fulfilling its oversight function and efficiently allocates responsibility among committees.
The Board of Trustees has concluded that, based on each Trustees experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis
and in combination with those of the other Trustees, each Trustee should serve as a member of the Board. In making this determination, the Board has taken into account the actual service of the Trustees during their tenure in concluding that each
should continue to serve. The Board also has considered each Trustees background and experience. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience qualifications, attributes or skills of each Trustee that led the Board to
conclude that he or she should serve as a Trustee.
Each of Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Rybak, Timbers and Tripple has served for more than ten
years as a trustee of the Fund. In addition, each of Mses. Breen and Stuckey and Messrs. Calamos, Neal,
