Additional Intermediary Disclosure Added to the Appendix to the Prospectus

 

Effective immediately, the following Prospectus Disclosure is added to the Appendix (after the Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated Prospectus Disclosure) at the end of the Prospectus:

 

Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC (collectively, “Wells Fargo Advisors”) Prospectus Disclosure

 

Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC operates a First Clearing business, but these rules are not intended to include First Clearing firms.

 

Effective April 1, 2026, Clients of Wells Fargo Advisors purchasing fund shares through Wells Fargo Advisors are eligible for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the investor's responsibility to inform Wells Fargo Advisors at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings, or other facts qualifying the investor for discounts or waivers. Wells Fargo Advisors can ask for documentation supporting the qualification.

 

Wells Fargo Advisors Class A share front-end sales charge waivers information.

 

Wells Fargo Advisors clients purchasing or converting to Class A shares of the fund in a Wells Fargo Advisors brokerage account are entitled to a waiver of the front-end load in the following circumstances:

 

· Wells Fargo Advisors employee and employee-related accounts according to Wells Fargo Advisor’s employee account linking rules. Legacy accounts and positions receiving affiliate discounts prior to the effective date will continue to receive discounts. Going forward employees of affiliate businesses will not be offered NAV.

 

· Shares purchased through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions when purchasing shares of the same fund.

 

WellsTrade, the firm’s online self-directed brokerage account, generally offers no-load share classes but there could be instances where a Class A share is offered without a front-end sales charge.

 

 

 

 

Wells Fargo Advisors Class 529-A share front-end sales charge waivers information.

Investors wishing to utilize this privilege outside of Wells Fargo systems will need to do so directly with the Plan or a financial intermediary that supports this feature.

 

Unless specifically described above, other front-end load waivers are not available on mutual fund purchases through Wells Fargo Advisors.

 

Wells Fargo Advisors Contingent Deferred Sales Charge information.

 

·Contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) imposed on fund redemptions will not be rebated based on future purchases.

Wells Fargo Advisors Clients purchasing Class A shares of the fund through Wells Fargo Advisors brokerage accounts will follow the following aggregation rules for breakpoint discounts:

 

·Effective April 1, 2026, SEP or SIMPLE IRAs will not be aggregated as a group plan. They will aggregate with the client’s personal accounts based on Social Security Number. Previously established SEP and SIMPLE IRAs may still be aggregated as a group plan.

 

·Effective April 1, 2026, Employer-sponsored retirement plan (e.g., 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans and defined benefit plans) accounts will aggregate with other plan accounts under the same Tax ID and will not be aggregated with other retirement plan accounts under a different Tax ID or personal accounts.

(5)Effective September 1, 2025 the section titled “Leadership Structure and Qualifications of the Board of Trustees” under the “Management” section beginning on page 40 of the Statement of Additional Information is amended and restated as follows:

 

 

 

 

LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. The board of trustees is responsible for oversight of the Trust. The Trust has engaged Calamos Advisors to manage the Funds on a day-to-day basis. The board of trustees oversees Calamos Advisors and certain other principal service providers in the operations of their respective Funds. The board of trustees is composed of ten members, eight of whom will be non-interested trustees. The board of trustees meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings four times throughout the year. In addition, the board of trustees 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 Trust.

 

The chairman of the board of trustees is an "interested person" of the Trust (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 Trusts. Among other things, the lead independent trustee reviews and approves, with the chairman, the agenda the board and committee meeting and facilitates communication among the Trust's non-interested trustees. The trustees believe that the board of trustees' leadership structure is appropriate given the characteristics and circumstances of the Trust, including but not limited to, the asset size of the funds, comprising the Trust overseen by the board, the nature and number of funds overseen by the board, the total number of trustees, the range of experience represented on the board and the board's responsibilities. The trustees also believe that this structure facilitates the exercise of the board of trustees' independent judgment in fulfilling its oversight function and efficiently allocates responsibility among committees.

 

The board of trustees, including the independent trustees, has unanimously concluded that, based on each trustee's 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 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 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 of trustees to conclude that he or she should serve as a trustee.

 

Each of Mses. Breen and Stuckey and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Rybak, Toub and Wennlund has served for multiple years as a trustee of the Trust. In addition, each of Mses. Breen and Stuckey and Messrs. Armstrong, Calamos, Koudounis, Neal, Phlegar, 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, Koudounis, Neal, Phlegar, Rybak, Toub, and Wennlund has experience serving on boards of other entities, including other investment companies. Each of Ms. Breen and Messrs. Calamos, Neal, Phlegar, Rybak, Toub, and Wennlund has earned a Masters of Business Administration degree.

 

(6)Effective September 1, 2025, the section titled “Trustee and Officer Compensation” under the “Management” section beginning on page 41 of the Statement of Additional Information is amended and restated as follows:

 

TRUSTEE AND OFFICER COMPENSATION. The Trust does not compensate any of the trustees who are affiliated persons of Calamos Advisors. Although they are compensated, the non-interested trustees do not receive any pension or retirement benefits from the Trust. Mr. Mickey is the only Trust officer who receives compensation from the Trust. The following table sets forth information with respect to the compensation paid by Investment Trust and the Fund Complex during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 to each of the trustees and officers then serving.

  1 As of October 31 2024, the Fund Complex consisted of Calamos Investment Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund, Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund, Calamos Dynamic Convertible and Income Fund, Calamos Long/Short Equity & Dynamic Income Trust, Calamos ETF Trust, Calamos Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust and Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund.
  2 Messrs. Armstrong, Koudounis, and Phlegar were elected to the Board effective September 1, 2025.
  3 Includes fees deferred during the year pursuant to the deferred compensation plan described below. Deferred amounts are treated as though such amounts have been invested and reinvested in shares of one ore more of the Funds as selected by the trustee. As of October 31, 2024, the values of the deferred compensation accounts for Mr. Neal was $3,153,951.
  4 Includes compensation received from the Calamos Aksia Alternative Credit and Income Fund in the amount of $60,000. Such compensation is subject to a different compensation schedule and allocation.

 

The compensation paid to the non-interested trustees of each Trust 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.

 

Compensation paid to the non-interested trustees is allocated among the series of the Calamos Funds in accordance with a procedure determined from time to time by the board.

 

The Trust has 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 compensation from each trust 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 the 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.

 

At March 31, 2025, each trustee beneficially owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) shares of the Funds and of all Funds in the Fund Complex having values within the indicated dollar ranges. Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Phlegar, who were elected trustees of the Trusts effective September 1, 2025, did not beneficially own shares of any Fund as of March 31, 2025.
