The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that invests in the segment of the U.S. convertibles marketplace that has a higher level of equity sensitivity. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in a portfolio of convertible securities (including synthetic convertible instruments). The Fund's investment adviser is Calamos Advisors LLC ("Calamos Advisors" or the "Adviser").

The Adviser utilizes a quantitative and qualitative screening process that consists of a proprietary convertible model and fundamental inputs to identify securities that meet the criteria for inclusion in the portfolio and intends to rebalance the portfolio regularly to ensure that the desired exposures are maintained. The Adviser will also make active adjustments to the portfolio based on fundamental analyses (such as an issuer's financial soundness, ability to make interest and dividend payments, earnings and cash flow forecast and quality of management), as well as certain portfolio-level characteristics, such as size of an issue (e.g., value of bonds outstanding), liquidity, trade execution, and exposure to macro-level investment themes.

Convertible debt securities are exchangeable for equity securities of the issuer at a predetermined price, and typically offer greater appreciation potential than non-convertible debt securities. The convertible securities in which the Fund may invest consist of U.S. bonds, structured notes, debentures and preferred stocks, which may be converted or exchanged at a stated or determinable exchange ratio into underlying shares. Structured notes are fixed-income debentures linked to equity. Convertible structured notes have the attributes of a convertible security, however, the investment bank that issued the convertible note assumes the credit risk associated with the investment, rather than the issuer of the underlying common stock into which the note is convertible. The bonds, structured notes and debentures may be rated investment grade or below investment grade or may not be rated, may be issued by corporations, governments or public international bodies and may be denominated in a variety of currencies and issued with either fixed or floating rates. Bonds rated below investment grade are commonly known as "junk bonds." Convertible securities may offer higher income than the shares into which they are convertible. The Fund may be required to permit the issuer of a convertible security to redeem the security, convert it into the underlying shares or sell it to a third party. Convertible securities include debt obligations and preferred stock of the company issuing the security, which may be exchanged for a predetermined price (the conversion price), into the issuer's common stock.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities. Foreign securities are securities issued by issuers that are organized under the laws of a foreign country or that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets in a foreign country or countries, or that derive a substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside of the United States. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the United States securities markets by American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") or similar depository arrangements. The Fund's foreign securities can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. Debt securities issued by a foreign government may not be supported by the "full faith and credit" of that government.

Certain convertible debt securities include a "put option" which entitles the Fund to sell the security to the issuer before maturity at a stated price, which may represent a premium over the stated principal amount of the debt security. Conversely many convertible securities are issued with a "call" feature that allows the security's issuers to choose when to redeem the security.

A synthetic convertible instrument is designed to simulate the economic characteristics of a convertible security through the combined features of a debt instrument and a security providing an option on an equity security. The Fund may establish a synthetic convertible instrument by combining a fixed-income security (which may be either convertible or non-convertible) with the right to acquire an equity security. The fixed-income and equity option components may have different issuers, and either component may change at any time.

The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
