Investment objective

Calamos Global Sustainable Equities Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

"Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in common stock of companies in developed and emerging markets (including frontier market countries), that have above average growth potential and meet the environmental, social and governance (""ESG"") criteria of Calamos Advisors. The Fund will maintain a minimum investment in non-U.S. companies, including emerging markets that will be no less than 40% of the Fund's assets under normal market conditions. The Fund will generally be invested in a minimum of five (5) countries. Emerging markets are markets of countries in the initial stages of industrialization and generally have low per capita income. Foreign (non-U.S.) companies are those that either maintain their principal place of business outside of the United States, have their securities principally traded on non-U.S.

exchanges or were formed under the laws of non-U.S. countries. Foreign companies may include companies doing business in the United States but meet the general criteria of a foreign company described above. Emerging markets are markets of countries in the initial stages of industrialization and generally have low per capita income. Certain emerging markets are sometimes referred to as ""frontier markets."" Frontier markets are the least advanced capital markets in the developing world. Frontier markets are countries with investable stock markets that are less established than those in the emerging markets. To determine if a country is an emerging market or frontier market country, Calamos Advisors will use the classification provided by MSCI, Inc. Foreign securities include American Depositary Receipts (""ADRs"") or securities guaranteed by a U.S.

person but which represent underlying shares of foreign issuers, and may include foreign securities in the form of European Depositary Receipts (""EDRs""), Global Depositary Receipts (""GDRs"") or other securities representing underlying shares of foreign issuers. Calamos Advisors utilizes a proprietary ESG rating system, considering both quantitative and qualitative factors, to identify responsible, engaged companies. The team believes that a company's understanding of ESG principles demonstrates the qualities of innovation and leadership that create a distinct competitive advantage and build long-term value. Therefore, the team conducts fundamental research to find companies with attractive ESG and financial attributes. In conducting fundamental research, the team combines traditional investment information with proprietary ESG analysis.

The team believes that this creates a complete picture of how each company behaves commercially and how it deals with existing and emerging ESG risks and opportunities. The team considers a company's position on various factors such as ecological limits, environmental stewardship, environmental strategies, stance on human rights and equality, societal impact as well as its corporate governance practices. This philosophy and process results in certain industries and business activities that are too environmentally risky or present social outcomes that are too unattractive to warrant investment consideration and are avoided, they are: Agricultural Biotechnology, Alcohol, Animal Testing, Fossil Fuels, Gambling, Metals & Mining, Nuclear Energy, Tobacco and Weapons. Calamos Advisors will generally exclude a company from investment consideration to the extent the company derives revenue or profits that exceed 5% in the particular industry or business activity.

Calamos Advisors utilizes a range of data sources as part of its proprietary ESG ratings system. These data sources may include, but are not limited to: corporate disclosures, third party research providers (e.g. MSCI ESG, Bloomberg etc.), NGOs and non profits (e.g., Greenpeace, Friends of Earth etc.), academic publications, news services and memberships. Calamos Advisors does not rely on the ESG ratings or criteria of any third party research providers. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, and seeks diversification by country and economic sector. The Fund invests primarily in common stocks or ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. Calamos Advisors may sell stocks for several reasons, including when the stock no longer meets its ESG criteria or when the security declines in value or is overvalued and no longer reflects the investment thesis defined by Calamos Advisors."
