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 Eliminates outdated limitations on the original Declaration of Trust first established almost 40 years ago.   2.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.   Please click the “ VOTE HERE” button below to access and review the proxy material and cast your vote.
