The information in each fund's prospectus and statement of
additional information) is not complete and may be changed. We may
not sell the securities of any fund until such fund's registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is
effective. Each fund's prospectus and statement of additional
information is not an offer to sell such fund's securities and is
not soliciting an offer to buy such fund's securities in any state
where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Before investing, carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses. Please
see the prospectus and summary
prospectus containing this and other information

An investment in the Fund(s) is subject to risks,
and you could lose money on your investment in
the Fund(s). There can be no assurance that the Fund(s)
will achieve its investment objective. Your investment in the
Fund(s) is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency. The risks associated with an investment in the
Fund(s) can increase during times of significant market volatility.
The Fund(s) also has specific principal risks, which are described
below. More detailed information regarding these risks can be found
in the Fund's prospectus.
Investing involves risks. Loss of principal is possible.
The Fund(s) face numerous market trading risks, including
authorized participation concentration risk, cap change risk,
capital protection risk, capped upside risk, cash holdings risk,
clearing member default risk, correlation risk, derivatives risk,
equity securities risk, investment timing risk, large-
capitalization investing risk, liquidity risk, market
maker risk, market risk, non-diversification risk,
options risk, premium- discount risk, secondary market
trading risk, sector risk, tax risk, trading issues risk,
underlying ETF risk and valuation risk. For a detailed list of fund
risks see the prospectus.
There are no assurances the Fund(s) will be successful in
providing the sought-after protection. The outcomes that the
Fund(s) seeks to provide may only be realized if you are holding
shares on the first day of the outcome period and continue to hold
them on the last day of the outcome period, approximately one year.
There is no guarantee that the outcomes for an outcome period will
be realized or that the Fund(s) will achieve its investment
objective. If the outcome period has begun and the underlying ETF
has increased in value, any appreciation of the Fund(s) by virtue
of increases in the underlying ETF since the commencement of the
outcome period will not be protected by the sought-after
protection, and an investor could experience losses until the
underlying ETF returns to the original price at the commencement of
the outcome period. Fund shareholders are subject to an upside
return cap (the "Cap") that represents the maximum percentage
return an investor can achieve from an investment in the
fund(s) for the outcome
period, before fees and expenses. If the
outcome period has begun and the Fund(s) have increased in value to
a level near to the Cap, an investor purchasing at that price has
little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to
downside risks. Additionally, the Cap may rise or fall from one
outcome period to the next. The Cap, and the Fund(s) position
relative to it, should be considered before investing in the
Fund(s). The Fund(s) website, www.calamos.com,
provides important
Fund information as well information relating to the potential outcomes
of an investment in the Fund(s) on a daily
basis.
The Fund(s) are designed to provide point-to-point exposure to
the price return of the reference asset via a basket of Flex
Options. As a result, the ETFs are not expected to move
directly in line with the reference asset during the interim
period. Investors purchasing shares after an outcome period has
begun may experience very different results than fund's investment
objective. Initial outcome periods are approximately 1-year
beginning on the fund's inception date. Following the initial
outcome period, each subsequent outcome period will begin on the
first day of the month the fund was incepted. After the conclusion
of an outcome period, another will begin.
FLEX Options Risk – The Fund(s) will utilize FLEX Options
issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing
Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes
insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement
obligations, the Fund(s) could suffer significant losses.
Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard
options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund(s)
may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at
desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not
increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and
may vary due to factors other than the price of reference asset.
Shares are bought and sold at market price, not net asset
value
(NAV), and are not individually redeemable from the fund. NAV represents the value
of each share's portion
of the fund's underlying assets
and cash at the end of the trading day. Market price
returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the
close of trading on the exchange where fund shares are listed.
100% capital protection is over a one-year period before fees
and expenses. All caps are pre-determined.
Cap Rate – Maximum percentage return an investor can
achieve from an investment in the Fund if held over the Outcome
Period.
Cap Range – Cap ranges are based on the last 15 trading
days prior to range announcement, based on market conditions during
the sample period, and are subject to change. The actual cap rate
may be different based on market events.
Protection Level – Amount of protection
the Fund is designed to achieve over the Days Remaining.
Outcome Period –
Number of days in the Outcome Period.
