WHAT DID THE FUND INVEST IN?

The Fund is designed to match the positive price return of Bitcoin up to a defined cap while protecting against 100% of losses over a predetermined one-year outcome period (before fees and expenses) that is reset annually. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investments in FLEX® Options on indexes of ETPs that own bitcoin (CBOE Bitcoin US ETF Index). US Treasuries (with maturities to match the outcome period) are utilized to guarantee return of principal (before fees). The FLEX Options package consists of a long call option (to establish the long position) and a short out-of-the-money call option (to establish the upside cap and fund the long call position). The options share the same underlying asset, expiration date, and style (European). At the end of the period, the positions will be re-struck for another one-year period.

WHAT DID THE FUND INVEST IN?

The Fund invests in a combination of FLEX® Options on the iShares® Russell2000® ETF (IWM) to create a predetermined risk-reward profile that seeks to deliver the upside of the reference asset to a cap, with 100% protection over the initial 1-year outcome period. The FLEX Options package at the start of the period consists of three positions: a long call option (to establish the long position), a long at-the-money put option (to establish the protection), and a short out-of-the-money call option (to establish the upside cap and fund the protection level). All three options share the same underlying (IWM), expiration date, and style (European). At the end of the initial period, the positions will be re-struck for another one-year time period.

of the Fund and CGAM. Further, shareholders would be notified of any change in the name of the Fund or its strategy. CGAM is jointly owned and controlled by Calamos Advisors LLC and, indirectly, by Mr. Antetokounmpo, a well-known professional athlete. Unanticipated events, including, without limitation, death, adverse reputational events or business disputes, could result in Mr. Antetokounmpo no longer being associated or involved with CGAM. Any such event could adversely impact the Fund and result in shareholders experiencing substantial losses.

For all other Funds in the ETF Trust, Calamos Advisors LLC ("Calamos Advisors" or the "Adviser"), serves as the Funds' adviser.

Significant Accounting Policies. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and the Funds are each considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Under U.S. GAAP, management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements and actual results may differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The ASU applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280 (ASC 280). ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant operating segment expenses. An operating segment is defined as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expense, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, and for which discrete financial information is available. The Funds have adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 31, 2025, with no material impact on the Funds' financial statements. As defined under ASU No. 2023-07 the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") consists of the members of Calamos Advisors' Investment Committee and Senior Executive Team. Each Fund operates as a single reportable segment, which reflects how the CODM monitors and manages the operating results of each Fund. The financial information used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance and to allocate resources, including total return, expense ratios, changes in net assets from operations and portfolio composition, is consistent with that presented within the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights.

Fund Valuation. The Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board" or "Trustees"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Funds, have designated the Adviser to perform fair valuation determinations related to all Fund investments under the oversight of the Board. As "valuation designee" the Adviser has adopted procedures to guide the determination of the net asset value ("NAV") on any day on which a Fund's NAV is determined. The valuation of the Funds' investments is in accordance with these procedures.

Fund securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the official closing price, which is the last current reported sales price on its principal exchange at the time each Fund determines its NAV. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market®​ are valued at the Nasdaq®​ Official Closing Price, as determined by Nasdaq®​, or lacking a Nasdaq®​ Official Closing Price, the last current reported sale price on Nasdaq®​ at the time a Fund determines its NAV. When a last sale or closing price is not available, equity securities, other than option securities, that are traded on a U.S. securities exchange and other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on its principal exchange in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board. Each option security traded on a U.S. securities exchange is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option security, also in accordance with guidelines adopted by the Board. Each over-the-counter option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued either by an independent pricing agent approved by the Board or based on a quotation provided by the counterparty to such option under the ultimate supervision of the Board.

Trading on European and Far Eastern exchanges and over-the-counter markets is typically completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. Securities that are principally traded in foreign markets are valued as of the last reported sale price at the time the respective Fund determines its NAV, or when reliable market prices or quotations are not readily available, at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other designated time. Trading of foreign securities may not take place on every NYSE business day. In addition, trading may take place in various foreign markets on Saturdays or on other days when the NYSE is not open and on which the respective Fund's NAV is not calculated.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

FLexible EXchange®​ Options ("FLEX Options") listed on an exchange will typically be valued at a model-based price at the official close of that exchange's trading day. However, when a Fund's option has a same-day market trade price, this same-day market trade price will be used for FLEX Option values instead of the exchange's model-based price. If the pricing vendor is not available to provide a model price for that day, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures.

If the valuation designee determines that the valuation of a security in accordance with the methods described above is not reflective of a fair value for such security, the security is valued at a fair value by the valuation designee.

Each Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Adviser, if trading in the security is halted or if the value of a security it holds is materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's pricing time but after the close of the primary market or exchange on which the security is listed. Those procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing services approved by the Adviser, which may be based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities that are generally recognized by institutional traders, a computerized matrix system, or appraisals derived from information concerning the securities or similar securities received from recognized dealers in those securities.

When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis as of January 31, 2025. Net realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized using the accrual method and includes accretion of original issue and market discount and amortization of premium. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available after the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation. Values of investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using a rate quoted by a major bank or dealer in the particular currency market, as reported by a recognized quotation dissemination service.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from disposition of foreign currency, the difference in the foreign exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the ex-date or accrual date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at period end.

Allocation of Expenses Among Funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; certain other common expenses of Calamos Advisors Trust, Calamos Investment 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 Antetokounmpo Sustainable Equities Trust, and Calamos ETF Trust are allocated proportionately among each Fund to which the expenses relate in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Trust's policy is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distribute to shareholders substantially all of the Funds' taxable income and net realized gains.

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions and investments in passive foreign investment companies. The financial statements are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The Funds recognized no liability for uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation is not provided as the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized benefits are zero, with no interim additions, reductions or settlements. Tax years 2023-2024 remains subject to examination by the U.S. and the State of Illinois tax jurisdictions.

Indemnifications. Under the Trust's organizational documents, the Trust is obligated to indemnify its officers and Trustees against certain liabilities incurred by them by reason of having been an officer or Trustee of the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Funds' management expects the risk of material loss in connection to a potential claim to be remote.

Note 5 – Derivative Instruments

Digital Assets Risk. The Bitcoin Structured Alt Protection ETF®​ may engage option transactions that reference the price performance of one or more underlying exchange-traded products ("Underlying ETPs") which, in turn, own bitcoin and/or one or more indexes that are designed to track the price of bitcoin ("Bitcoin Index"). The value of the Underlying ETPs and/or Bitcoin Index relate to the value of bitcoins, the value of which may be highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors that could adversely affect the value of the Underlying ETPs and/or Bitcoin Index.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Equity Risk. Each Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieves similar objectives to what it would achieve through the sale or purchase of individual securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security, index or other instrument at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the seller the obligation to buy, the underlying security, index, or other instrument at the exercise price.

To seek to offset some of the risk of a potential decline in value of certain long positions, each Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). Certain Funds may also seek to generate income from option premiums by writing (selling) options on a portion of the equity securities (including securities that are convertible into equity securities) in a Fund's portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.

When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Gain or loss on written options and purchased options is presented separately on the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.

Options written by each Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk since options written obligate each Fund and not the counterparty to perform. Exchange traded purchased options have minimal counterparty credit risk to each Fund since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default.

Certain Funds may invest in FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). FLEX Options are customized option contracts that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter options positions. Like traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties to certain derivatives contracts. The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may be illiquid, and in such cases, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The FLEX Options held by the Funds will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes, changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options and changing volatility levels of the reference asset. In connection with the creation and redemption of Fund shares, to the extent market participants are not willing or able to enter into FLEX Option transactions with the Funds at prices that reflect the market price of the Fund shares, a Fund's NAV and, in turn, the share price of a Fund, could be negatively impacted. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless.

Note 6 – Securities Lending

SROI, CVRT, CCEF, and CANQ may loan one or more of their securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned by the Funds. The Funds continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the collateral. The additional return is disclosed on a net basis as Securities lending income in the Statement of Operations. Upon receipt of cash or cash equivalent collateral, the Funds' securities lending agent invests the collateral into short term investments following investment guidelines approved by Calamos Advisors. The Funds record the investment of collateral as an asset (Investment in securities, at value or Restricted cash for collateral on securities loaned) and the value of the collateral as a liability (Collateral for securities loaned) on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If the value of the invested collateral declines below the value of the collateral deposited by the borrower, the Funds will record unrealized depreciation equal to the decline in value of the invested collateral. The Funds will pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Funds for services in arranging these loans. The Funds have the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time. The Funds do not have the right to vote the securities during the existence of the loan but could call the loan in an

attempt to permit voting of the securities in certain circumstances. Upon return of the securities loaned, the cash or cash equivalent collateral will be returned to the borrower. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Funds could experience both delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses, including (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned during the year while the Funds seek to enforce their rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this year, and (c) the expenses of enforcing their rights. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Funds' security lending agent monitors and reports to Calamos Advisors on the creditworthiness of the firms to which a Fund lends securities.

The following table indicates the total amount of securities loaned by asset class, reconciled to the gross liability payable upon return of the securities loaned by the Funds as January 31, 2025.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used to determine the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are categorized into three broad levels as follows:

•  Level 1 – Prices are determined using inputs from unadjusted quoted prices from active markets (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange) for identical assets.

•  Level 2 – Prices are determined using significant observable market inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices, including quoted prices of similar securities, fair value adjustments to quoted foreign securities, interest rates, credit risk, prepayment speeds, and other relevant data.

•  Level 3 – Prices reflect unobservable market inputs (including the Funds' own judgments about assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value) when observable inputs are unavailable.

Debt securities are valued based upon evaluated prices received from an independent pricing service or from a dealer or broker who makes markets in such securities. Pricing services utilize various observable market data and as such, debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. The levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity of a Fund's investments.

Note 8 – Creation and Redemption Transactions

Each Fund offers and issues shares at NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares, generally in exchange for a basket of securities constituting the portfolio holdings of a Fund, together with the deposit of a specified cash payment, or, in certain circumstances, for an all cash payment. Shares of the Funds are listed and principally trade on the NYSE Arca, Inc., the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or the CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc. (each, an "Exchange"). Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Unlike mutual funds, Fund shares are not individually redeemable securities. Rather, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV, typically in creation units (each, a "Creation Unit"). In the event of the liquidation of a Fund, the Trust may lower the number of shares in a Creation Unit. Financial entities known as "authorized participants" have contractual arrangements with each Fund or the Distributor to purchase and redeem Fund shares directly with such Fund in Creation Units in exchange for the securities comprising the Fund and/or cash, or some combination thereof. Fund shares are traded in the secondary market and elsewhere at market prices that may be at, above, or below a Fund's NAV. Fund shares are only redeemable in Creation Units by authorized participants. An authorized participant that purchases a Creation Unit of Fund shares deposits with such Fund a "basket" of securities and/or other assets identified by the Fund that day, and then receives the Creation Unit of Fund shares in return for those assets. The redemption process is the reverse of the purchase process: the authorized participant redeems a Creation Unit of Fund shares for a basket of securities and other assets. The basket is generally representative of a Fund's portfolio, and together with a cash balancing amount, it is equal to the NAV of the Fund shares comprising the Creation Unit. Pursuant to Rule 6c-11 of the 1940 Act ("Rule 6c-11"), a Fund may utilize baskets that are not representative of the Fund's portfolio. Such "custom baskets" are discussed in each Fund's Statement of Additional Information in the section entitled "Creation and Redemption of Creation Units". Transaction fees and other costs associated with creations or redemptions that include cash may be higher than the transaction fees and other costs associated with in-kind creations or redemptions. In all cases, conditions with respect to creations and redemptions of shares and fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of SEC rules and regulations applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Funds' management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements and financial highlights taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract   (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees ("Board" or the "Trustees") of Calamos ETF Trust ("Trust"), on behalf of its new series, Calamos Laddered S&P 500®​ Structured Alt Protection ETF®​ (the "New Fund") oversees the management of the New Fund, and, as required by law, determines whether to approve or (annually thereafter) continue the New Fund's management agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC ("Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment manager and provides certain administrative services for the New Fund. The "Independent Trustees," who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with the Adviser.

In connection with their consideration regarding the initial approval of the management agreement for the New Fund, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser in response to detailed requests from the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the data provided by the Adviser and concluded that sufficient information had been provided to allow them to evaluate the terms of the management agreement and the New Fund's investment advisory fee. In the course of their consideration of the agreement, the Independent Trustees were advised by their counsel and, in addition to meeting with management of the Adviser, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting held on August 12, 2024,* based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the New Fund and the Adviser was fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, as applicable, the proposed fees to be charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the management agreement with respect to the New Fund through September 1, 2025, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in such agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided, (ii) the fees and other expenses to be paid by the New Fund as well as expense information for comparable funds, (iii) the estimated profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund, (iv) whether economies of scale may be realized as the New Fund grows and whether potential economies may be shared, in some measure, with the New Fund's investors; and (v) other benefits to the Adviser from their relationship with the New Fund. In the Board's deliberations, no single factor was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the management agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board's consideration of the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided to the New Fund took into account the knowledge that may be gained from the Board's meetings with the Adviser throughout the years. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of managing other funds in the Calamos fund complex; the consistency of the Adviser's investment approach; the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who will play key roles in managing the New Fund; and the Adviser's provision of administrative services for other funds in the Calamos fund complex, including, among other things, in the areas of brokerage selection, trade execution, compliance and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel expected to be involved in providing investment management services to the New Fund. The Board also considered compliance reports about the Adviser from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund were appropriate and consistent with the management agreement and that the New Fund was likely to benefit from services to be provided under the management agreement with the Adviser.

Investment Performance of the New Funds. Because the New Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the New Fund.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. Using information provided by an independent third-party service provider, the Board evaluated the New Fund's proposed management fee rate compared to the median management fee rate for other funds similar in size to the estimated size of the New Fund, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group") and estimated total expense ratio compared to the median total expense ratio of the Expense Group.

services proposed to be rendered by the Adviser to the New Fund. Lastly, the Board considered the Adviser's confidence in its investment team to deliver favorable performance and scale given its track record with other accounts that it manages.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the proposed management fee does not contain breakpoints. The Board also considered that the proposed unitary fee structure provides investors with additional stability and increased fee certainty during the contractual period. The Trustees noted that, to the extent the Adviser may achieve economies of scale relating to the New Fund, it may share the benefits of such economies of scale with the New Fund through, for example, enhancements to investment practices and operations and increasing levels of services to the New Fund and its shareholders.

Profitability. The Board considered information on the anticipated profitability of the Adviser in serving as the New Fund's investment manager, respectively, and of the Adviser and its affiliates in their relationships with the New Fund, respectively, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the funds in the Calamos fund complex and the Adviser's other business units.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the New Fund. The Board considered other benefits that could accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund. The Board concluded that while the Adviser may potentially benefit from its relationship with the New Fund in ways other than the proposed fees payable by the New Fund, the New Fund also may benefit from its relationship with the Adviser in ways other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to its agreement with the New Fund and the proposed fees payable by the New Fund.

In light of all the information presented, and after full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Trust's proposed management agreement with the Adviser with respect to the New Fund was, and its approval would be, in the best interest of the New Fund and its prospective shareholders.

The Board of Trustees ("Board" or the "Trustees") of Calamos ETF Trust ("Trust"), on behalf of its new series, Calamos S&P 500®​ Structured Alt Protection ETF®​—September (the "New Fund"), oversees the management of the New Fund, and, as required by law, determines whether to approve or (annually thereafter) continue the New Fund's management agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC ("Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser serves as the investment manager and provides certain administrative services for the New Fund. The "Independent Trustees," who comprise more than 80% of the Board, have never been affiliated with the Adviser.

In connection with their consideration regarding the initial approval of the management agreement for the New Fund, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Adviser in response to detailed requests from the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the data provided by the Adviser and concluded that sufficient information had been provided to allow them to evaluate the terms of the management agreement and the New Fund's investment advisory fee. In the course of their consideration of the agreement, the Independent Trustees were advised by their counsel and, in addition to meeting with management of the Adviser, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.

At a meeting held on March 28, 2024 based on their evaluation of the information referred to above and other information provided in this and previous meetings, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the New Fund and the Adviser was fair in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, as applicable, the proposed fees to be charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. At that meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the management agreement with respect to the New Fund through September 1, 2025, subject to possible earlier termination as provided in such agreement.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement with respect to the New Fund, the Board considered, among other things: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided, (ii) the fees and other expenses to be paid by the New Fund as well as expense information for comparable funds, (iii) the estimated profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund, (iv) whether economies of scale may be realized as the New Fund grows and whether potential economies may be shared, in some measure, with the New Fund's investors; and (v) other benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the New Fund. In the Board's deliberations, no single factor was responsible for the Board's decision to approve the management agreement, and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board's consideration of the nature, quality and extent of the Adviser's services to be provided to the New Fund took into account the knowledge that may be gained from the Board's meetings with the Adviser throughout the years. In addition, the Board considered: the Adviser's long-term history of managing other funds in the Calamos fund complex; the consistency of the Adviser's investment approach; the background and experience of the portfolio management personnel who will play key roles in managing the New Fund; and the Adviser's provision of administrative services for other funds in the Calamos fund complex, including, among other things, in the areas of brokerage selection, trade execution, compliance and shareholder communications. The Board also reviewed the Adviser's resources and key personnel expected to be involved in providing investment management services to the New Fund. The Board also considered compliance reports about the Adviser from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer. The Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund were appropriate and consistent with the management agreement and that the New Fund was likely to benefit from services to be provided under the management agreement with the Adviser.

Investment Performance of the New Fund. Because the New Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the New Fund.

Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser. Using information provided by an independent third-party service provider, the Board evaluated the New Fund's proposed management fee rate compared to the median management fee rate for other funds similar in size to the estimated size of the New Fund, character and investment strategy (the "Expense Group") and estimated total expense ratio compared to the median total expense ratio of the Expense Group. The Board considered that the New Fund's estimated total net expense ratio and proposed management fee rate are both lower than the respective medians of the New Fund's Expense Group. The Board also took into consideration that the proposed management fee was a unitary or "all-inclusive" fee structure which combines fees for investment advisory and administrative services proposed to be rendered by the Adviser to the New Fund.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract   (Unaudited)

management fee was a unitary or "all-inclusive" fee structure which combines fees for investment advisory and administrative services proposed to be rendered by the Adviser to the New Fund. Lastly, the Board considered the Adviser's confidence in its investment team to deliver favorable performance and scale given its track record with other accounts that it manages.

Economies of Scale. The Board noted that the proposed management fee does not contain breakpoints. The Board also considered that the proposed unitary fee structure provides investors with additional stability and increased fee certainty during the contractual period. The Trustees noted that, to the extent the Adviser may achieve economies of scale relating to the New Fund, it may share the benefits of such economies of scale with the New Fund through, for example, enhancements to investment practices and operations and increasing levels of services to the New Fund and its shareholders.

Profitability. The Board considered information on the anticipated profitability of the Adviser in serving as the New Fund's investment manager, respectively, and of the Adviser and its affiliates in their relationships with the New Fund, respectively, as well as an explanation of the methodology utilized in allocating various expenses among the funds in the Calamos fund complex and the Adviser's other business units.

Other Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the New Fund. The Board considered other benefits that could accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Fund. The Board concluded that while the Adviser may potentially benefit from its relationship with the New Fund in ways other than the proposed fees payable by the New Fund, the New Fund also may benefit from its relationship with the Adviser in ways other than the services to be provided by the Adviser and its affiliates pursuant to its agreement with the New Fund and the proposed fees payable by the New Fund.

In light of all the information presented, and after full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Trust's proposed management agreement with the Adviser with respect to the New Fund was, and its approval would be, in the best interest of the New Fund and its prospective shareholders.
