Committees of the Boards of Trustees. Each Trust's board of trustees currently has five standing committees:

Executive Committee. Messrs. Calamos and Neal are members of the executive committee of each board, which has authority during intervals between meetings of the board of trustees to exercise the powers of the board, with certain exceptions. John P. Calamos, Sr. is an interested trustee of each Trust.

Dividend Committee. Mr. Calamos serves as the sole member of the dividend committee of each board. Each dividend committee is authorized, subject to board review, to declare distributions on the respective Trust's shares in accordance with the Trust's distribution policies, including, but not limited to, regular dividends, special dividends and short- and long-term capital gains distributions.

Audit Committee.  Messrs. Neal, Rybak (Chair), Toub and Wennlund and Mses. Breen and Stuckey serve on the audit committee of each board. The audit committees operate under a written charter adopted and approved by each board. The audit committees select independent auditors, approve services to be rendered by the auditors, monitor the auditors' performance, review the results of each Trust's audit, determine whether to recommend to the board that the Trust's audited financial statements be included in the Trust's annual report and respond to other matters deemed appropriate by the boards. All members of the audit committee are independent trustees of each Trust.

Governance Committee. Messrs. Neal, Rybak, Toub, and Wennlund and Mses. Breen (Chair) and Stuckey serve on the governance committee of each board. The governance committee operates under a written charter adopted and approved by each board. The governance committee oversee the independence and effective functioning of the boards of trustees and endeavors to be informed about good practices for mutual fund boards. The committees also make recommendations to their respective boards regarding compensation of independent trustees.

The governance committees also function as a nominating committee by making recommendations to the boards of trustees regarding candidates for election as non-interested trustees. The governance committees look to many sources for recommendations of qualified trustees, including current trustees, employees of Calamos Advisors, current shareholders of the Funds, search firms that are compensated for their services and other third party sources. Any such search firm identifies and evaluates potential candidates, conducts screening interviews and provides information to the governance committees with respect to the individual candidates and the market for available candidates. In making trustee recommendations, the governance committees consider a number of factors, including a candidate's

background, integrity, knowledge and relevant experience. These factors are set forth in an appendix to the written charter. Any prospective candidate is interviewed by the Trusts' trustees and officers, and references are checked. The governance committees will consider shareholder recommendations regarding potential trustee candidates that are properly submitted to the governance committees for their consideration. Procedures for nominating a candidate are set forth in Appendix B to this proxy statement. A copy of the Governance Committee charter is available on the Trusts' website at https://www.calamos.com/resources/proxy-statement/.

Valuation Committee. Messrs. Neal, Rybak, Toub and Wennlund (Chair) and Mses. Breen and Stuckey serve on the valuation committee of each board. The valuation committees operate under a written charter approved by each board. The valuation committees oversee valuation matters of each Trust delegated to the pricing committee, including the fair valuation determinations and methodologies proposed and utilized by the valuation designee, review the Trusts' valuation procedures and their application by the valuation designee, review pricing errors and procedures for calculation of net asset value of each Fund and respond to other matters deemed appropriate by each board.

In addition to the above committees, each Trust's board of trustees has appointed and oversees a pricing committee comprised of officers of the Trust and employees of Calamos Advisors.

If elected to the board, it is anticipated that Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Phlegar will each serve on each Fund's Audit Committee, Governance Committee and Valuation Committee.

The following table shows the number of meetings the board and standing committees of each Trust held during its most recent fiscal year ended:

ETF Trust (fiscal year ended 7/31/2024) CASET (fiscal year ended 12/31/2024)
Board of Trustees 7 4
Executive Committee 0 0
Audit Committee 4 4
Governance Committee 2 3
Dividend Committee 0 0
Valuation Committee 4 4

All of the trustees and committee members then serving attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board of trustees and applicable committees of each Trust held during each Trust's most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 (ETF Trust) or December 31, 2024 (CASET).

Leadership Structure and Qualifications of the Board of Trustees. Each Trust's board of trustees is responsible for oversight of its respective Funds. Each The Trust has engaged Calamos Advisors to manage its respective Fund(s) on a day-to-day basis. Each board of trustees oversees Calamos Advisors and certain other principal service providers in the operations of their respective Funds. Each board of trustees is currently composed of seven members, six of whom are non-interested trustees. If the nominees are elected at the special meeting of shareholders, each board of trustees will be composed of ten members, eight of whom will be non-interested trustees. Each board of trustees meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings four times throughout the year. In addition, each board of trustees may meet in-person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. As described above, each 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 each 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 each Trust.

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

Each board of trustees, including the independent trustees, has unanimously concluded that, based on each trustee's and each nominee's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other trustees and nominees, each continuing trustee should serve, and each nominee should be nominated to serve, as a member of each 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 and each nominee's background and experience. Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience qualifications, attributes or skills of each trustee and nominee that led each 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 each 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.

Risk Oversight. The operation of a registered investment company, including its investment activities, generally involves a variety of risks. As part of its oversight of the Trusts, each the board of trustees oversees risk through various regular board and committee activities. Each board of trustees, directly or through its committees, reviews reports from, among others, Calamos Advisors, each Trust's Compliance Officer, each Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, independent outside legal counsel, and internal auditors of Calamos Advisors or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Funds and the risk management programs of Calamos Advisors and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management with respect to the Funds resides with Calamos Advisors and other service providers to the Funds. Although the risk management policies of Calamos Advisors and the service providers are designed to be effective, there is no guarantee that they will anticipate or mitigate all risks. Not all risks that may affect the Funds can be identified, eliminated or mitigated and some risks simply may not be anticipated or may be beyond the control of the board of trustees or Calamos Advisors, its affiliates or other service providers.

Trustee and Officer Compensation. Each Trust does not compensate any of the trustees who are affiliated persons of Calamos Advisors.

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. If Messrs. Armstrong and Phlegar are elected to the boards of trustees of the Trusts, they will receive the same compensation as the other non-interested trustees.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the compensation paid by ETF Trust and the Fund Complex during the periods indicated to each of the trustees officers then serving. Mr. Mickey is the only Trust officer who receives compensation from ETF Trust.

^5^​  The Fund Complex consists 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.

^6^​  Includes fees deferred during the relevant period pursuant to a deferred compensation plan. 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 December 31, 2024, the values of the deferred compensation accounts for Mr. Neal was $3,270,655.

^7^​  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.

Each trust in the Fund Complex 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 Calamos Investment 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.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions. Each Trust has entered into an investment management agreement with Calamos Advisors. According to the terms of that agreement, Calamos Advisors provides portfolio management services to the Fund in consideration for fees based on each Fund's daily average net assets.

Required Vote. The election of a nominee to the board of trustees of a Trust requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting of that Trust's shareholders. Under a plurality vote, the candidate who receives the highest number of votes will be elected, even if they receive approval from less than a majority of the votes cast. Because each nominee is running unopposed, each nominee is expected to be elected as a trustee, as each nominee who receives votes in favor will be elected, while votes not cast or votes to withhold will have no effect on the election outcome.

Beneficial Ownership.  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 are not currently trustees of the Trusts, did not beneficially own shares of any Fund as of March 31, 2025.

To each Trust's knowledge, no change in control of such Trust has occurred since the beginning of its last fiscal year.

How Proxies Will Be Voted. All proxies solicited by the board of trustees that are properly executed and received prior to the meeting, and that are not revoked, will be voted at the meeting. Shares represented by those proxies will be voted as indicated on the proxy card or in accordance with the voting instructions received online or by telephone, or in the

discretion of the proxyholders on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting.

How to Vote. Complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope. Alternatively, call the toll-free number on the proxy card or access the internet address on the proxy card.

Expenses. The expenses of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy cards, the accompanying notice and this proxy statement and all other costs, in connection with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Trusts. The Trusts may also reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of the Trusts. In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the meeting, additional solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph, facsimile or personal interview by representatives of the Trusts, Calamos Advisors, the Trusts' transfer agent, or by brokers or their representatives or by a solicitation firm that may be engaged by the Trusts to assist in proxy solicitations. Any costs associated with such additional solicitation are not anticipated to be significant.

Householding. The Trusts reduce the number of duplicate shareholder reports and proxy statements your household receives by sending only one copy of those documents to those addresses shared by two or more accounts. Call ETF Trust at 1-866-363-9219 or CASET at 1-800-582-6959 or write to the Trusts at the address on page one of this proxy statement to request individual copies of shareholder reports and proxy statements, or to request a single copy of shareholder reports and proxy statements if your household is receiving duplicate copies. We will begin sending your household single or multiple copies, as you request, as soon as practicable after receiving your request.

Revoking a Proxy. At any time before it has been voted, you may revoke your proxy by: (1) sending a letter saying that you are revoking your proxy to the Secretary of the Trusts at the Trusts' offices located at 2020 Calamos Court, Naperville, Illinois 60563-2787; (2) properly executing and sending a later-dated proxy; or (3) attending the meeting, requesting return of any previously delivered proxy, and voting in person. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date.

Quorum, Voting at the Meeting, and Adjournment. For any matter that may properly come before the meeting of each Trust, one-third of the shares entitled to vote on the matter constitutes a quorum for that matter. For purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum

and for determining whether sufficient votes have been received for approval of any matter to be acted upon at the meeting, abstentions and broker nonvotes will be treated as shares that are present at the meeting but have not been voted. If a quorum is not present in person or by proxy at the meeting, or if a quorum is present at the meeting but not enough votes to approve a proposal are received, the chairperson of the meeting may propose one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. No notice of adjournment of a meeting to another time or place need be given to shareholders of a Trust if such time and place (including that the meeting will be held by remote communication, as applicable) are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or notice is given to persons present at the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held at such time and place (including that the meeting will be held by remote communication, as applicable) as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

The charter of the audit committee of each Trust provides that the committee shall pre-approve the engagement of each Trust's independent accountant to provide audit and non-audit services to the Trust and non-audit services to Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors that provides ongoing services to the Trust if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of the Trust, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent accountants, with certain exceptions. Under the charter, the committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the committee, who must report any pre-approvals to the committee at its next meeting.

All services provided to each Trust described under the paragraphs entitled Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees were pre-approved in accordance with the audit committee charter. There were no services provided to Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors described in the paragraphs entitled Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees that were required to be pre-approved by the audit committees.

Aggregate Non-Audit Fees. D&T billed each Trust aggregate fees for non-audit services for the past two fiscal years in the following amounts:

Trust Fiscal Year EndedJuly 31, 2024 Fiscal Year EndedJuly 31, 2023
ETF Trust $ 0 $ 0
Trust Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31, 2024 Fiscal Year EndedDecember 31, 2023
CASET $ 0 $ 0

Each Trust's audit committees approved all such non-audit services.

D&T billed Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors aggregate non-audit fees in the amounts of $0 and $0 for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively, for services rendered. D&T billed Calamos Advisors or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Calamos Advisors aggregate non-audit fees in the amounts of $0 and $0 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, for services rendered.

Each Trust's audit committee has considered whether D&T's provision of services (other than audit services to the Trust) to Calamos Advisors and affiliates of Calamos Advisors that provide services to each Trust is compatible with maintaining D&T's independence in performing audit services.

Procedures for Shareholder Nomination of Trustee Candidate

A Trust shareholder who wishes to nominate a candidate to a Trust's board of trustees must submit any such recommendation in writing via regular mail to the attention of the Trust's Secretary, at the address of the Trust's principal executive offices. The shareholder recommendation must include:

•  the number and class of all Fund shares owned beneficially and of record by the nominating shareholder at the time the recommendation is submitted and the dates on which such shares were acquired, specifying the number of shares owned beneficially;

•  a full listing of the proposed candidate's education, experience (including knowledge of the investment company industry, experience as a director or senior officer of public or private companies, and directorships on other boards of other registered investment companies), current employment, date of birth, business and residence address, and the names and addresses of at least three professional references;

•  information as to whether the candidate is, has been or may be an "interested person" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust, Calamos Advisors or any of its affiliates, and, if believed not to be or have been an "interested person," information regarding the candidate that will be sufficient for the governance committee to make such determination;

•  the written and signed consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a trustee of the Trust, if elected;

•  a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating shareholder, the candidate and/or any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the shareholder recommendation is being made, and if none, so specify;

•  the class or series and number of all shares of the Fund owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported by the candidate; and

•  such other information that would be helpful to the governance committee in evaluating the candidate.

The governance committees may require the nominating shareholder to furnish other information they may reasonably require or deem necessary to verify any information furnished pursuant to the procedures delineated above or to determine the qualifications and eligibility of the candidate proposed by the nominating shareholder to serve as a trustee. If the nominating shareholder

B-1

fails to provide such additional information in writing within seven days of receipt of written request from the governance committees, the recommendation of such candidate as a nominee will be deemed not properly submitted for consideration, and the governance committees are not required to consider such candidate.

Unless otherwise specified by the governance committees' chairman or by legal counsel to the non-interested trustees, the Trusts' Secretary will promptly forward all shareholder recommendations to the governance committees' chairman and the legal counsel to the non-interested trustees, indicating whether the shareholder recommendation has been properly submitted pursuant to the procedures adopted by the governance committees for the consideration of trustee candidates nominated by shareholders.

Recommendations for candidates as trustees will be evaluated, among other things, in light of whether the number of trustees is expected to change and whether the trustees expect any vacancies. During periods when the governance committees are not actively recruiting new trustees, shareholder recommendations will be kept on file until active recruitment is under way. After consideration of a shareholder recommendation, the governance committees may dispose of the shareholder recommendation.
