Subject: Calamos Funds Joint Special Meeting Adjourned to September 30, 2025
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 five 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 | Eliminates outdated limitations on the original Declaration of Trust first established almost 40 years ago.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. |
