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.
