NOTE 1
PORTFOLIO VALUATION. In computing the net asset value of the Fund, portfolio
securities that are traded on a securities exchange in the United States, except
an option security, are valued at the last reported sale price as of the time of
valuation, or lacking any current reported sale at the time of valuation, at the
mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Each option security
traded on a securities exchange in the United States is valued at the last
current reported sale price as of the time of valuation if the last current
reported sale price falls within the consolidated bid/ask quote for the option
security. If the last current reported sale price as of the time of valuation
does not fall within the consolidated bid/ask quote for such option security,
such security is valued at the mid-point of the consolidated bid/ask quote for
the option security. Each security traded in the over-the-counter market and
quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System, is valued at the Nasdaq Official
Closing Price ("NOCP"), as determined by Nasdaq, or lacking an NOCP, the last
current reported sale price as of the time of valuation by Nasdaq, or lacking
any current reported sale on Nasdaq at the time of valuation, at the mean
between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Each over-the-counter option
that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued by the
counterparty, or if the counterparty's price is not readily available then by
using the Black-Scholes method. Each other security traded over-the-counter is
valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations. Short-term
securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost,
which approximates market value.
When market quotations are not readily available or when the valuation methods
mentioned above are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the
security is priced at a fair value following procedures and/or guidelines
approved by the Board of Trustees, which may include utilizing a systematic fair
valuation model provided by an independent pricing system. The Fund may also use
fair value pricing if the value of a security it holds is, pursuant to Board of
Trustees' guidelines, 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 traded. These procedures may utilize valuations furnished by pricing
services approved by the Board of Trustees, 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 is employed, the value of the portfolio
security used to calculate the Fund's net asset value may differ from quoted or
official closing prices.
Securities that are principally traded in a foreign market are valued at the
last current sale price at the time of valuation or lacking any current or
reported sale at the time of valuation, at the mean between the most recent bid
and asked quotations as of the close of the appropriate exchange or other
designated time. Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities
exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed at various times
before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") is open. Trading of these 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 Fund's net
asset value is not calculated. As stated above, if the market prices are not
readily available or are not reflective of the fair value of the security, the
security will be priced at a fair value following procedures approved by the
Board of Trustees. In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions,
there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is
accurate.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS. Short-term investment transactions are recorded on a
trade date basis. Long-term investment transactions are recorded on a trade date
plus one basis, except for fiscal quarter ends, which are recorded on trade
date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Except for securities of foreign issuers valued by
a pricing service, values of investments and other assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using a rate
selected by the advisor from rates quoted by any major bank or dealer in the
particular currency market, as reported by a recognized quotation dissemination
service.
OPTION TRANSACTIONS. For hedging and investment purposes, the Fund may purchase
or write (sell) put and call options. One of the risks associated with
purchasing an option among others, is that the Fund pays a premium whether or
not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of
premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the
contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as
portfolio securities. 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.
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the
Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current
value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire
unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains
from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on
effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is
also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid
for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a written call
option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the
underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a
gain or loss. If a written put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost
basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option
bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security
underlying the written option.
NOTE 2
INVESTMENTS. The following information is presented on an income tax basis as of
July 31, 2005. Differences between amounts for financial statements and Federal
income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences.
The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes at July 31, 2005
was as follows:
Cost basis of investments $1,218,216,915
==============
Gross unrealized appreciation 91,404,916
Gross unrealized depreciation (19,370,058)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) $ 72,034,858
============
NOTE 3
SYNTHETIC CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. The Fund may establish a "synthetic"
convertible instrument by combining separate securities that possess economic
characteristics similar to a convertible security, i.e., an income component and
the right or obligation to convert to an equity security ("convertible
component"). The fixed-income component is achieved by investing in
non-convertible, fixed income securities such as bonds, preferred stocks, money
market instruments, and other instruments that provide an income component. The
convertible component is achieved by investing in warrants or options to buy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
common stock at a certain exercise price, or options on a stock index. In
establishing a synthetic instrument, the Fund may pool a basket of fixed-income
securities and a basket of warrants or options that produce the economic
characteristics similar to a convertible security. Within each basket of
fixed-income securities and warrants or options, different companies may issue
the fixed-income and convertible components, which may be purchased separately
and at different times.
The Fund may purchase synthetic securities created by other parties, typically
investment banks, including convertible structured notes. Convertible structured
notes are fixed-income debentures linked to equity. Convertible structured notes
have the attributes of a convertible security; however, the investment bank that
issued the convertible note assumes the credit risk associated with the
investment, rather than the issuer of the underlying common stock into which the
note is convertible. Purchasing synthetic convertible securities may offer more
flexibility than purchasing a convertible security. Different companies may
issue the fixed-income and convertible components, which may be purchased
separately and at different times.
NOTE 4
PREFERRED SHARES. There are unlimited shares of Auction Market Preferred Shares
("Preferred Shares") authorized. The Preferred Shares have rights as determined
by the Board of Trustees. The 15,360 shares of Preferred Shares outstanding
consist of seven series, 2,040 shares of M, 2,040 shares of TU, 2,040 shares of
W7, 2,400 shares of W28, 2,400 shares of TH7, 2,040 shares of TH28, and 2,400
shares of F. The Preferred Shares have a liquidation value of $25,000 per share
plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends whether or not declared.
Dividends on the Preferred Shares are cumulative at a rate typically reset every
seven or twenty-eight days based on the results of an auction. Dividend rates
ranged from 1.90% to 3.46% for the nine months ended July 31, 2005. Under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund may not declare dividends or make other
distributions on shares of common stock or purchase any such shares if, at the
time of the declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect
to the outstanding Preferred Shares would be less than 200%.
The Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of the Fund, in whole or in
part, on any dividend payment date at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but
unpaid dividends. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory redemption
at $25,000 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not
declared, if certain requirements relating to the composition of the assets and
liabilities of the Fund as set forth in the Statement of Preferences are not
satisfied.
The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders of
common stock (one vote per share) and will vote together with holders of shares
of common stock as a single class except on matters affecting only the holders
of Preferred Shares or the holders of common shares.
NOTE 5
INTEREST RATE TRANSACTIONS. The Fund may enter into interest rate swap or cap
transactions to attempt to protect itself from increasing dividend or interest
expense on its leverage resulting from increasing short-term interest rates. A
decline in interest rates may result in a decline in the value of the swap or
cap, which may result in a decline in the net asset value of the Fund. In
addition, if the counterparty to an interest rate swap or cap defaults, the Fund
would not be able to use the anticipated receipts under the swap or cap to
offset the dividend or interest payments on the Fund's leverage. At the time an
interest rate swap or cap reaches its scheduled termination, there is a risk
that the Fund would not be able to obtain a replacement transaction or that the
terms of the replacement would not be as favorable
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as on the expiring transaction. In addition, if the Fund is required to
terminate any swap or cap early due to the Fund failing to maintain a required
200% asset coverage of the liquidation value of the outstanding Preferred
Shares or the Fund loses its credit rating on its Preferred Shares, then the
Fund could be required to make a termination payment, in addition to redeeming
all or some of the Preferred Shares. Details of the swap agreements outstanding
as of July 31, 2005 were as follows:
Unrealized
Termination Notional Fixed Rate Floating Rate Appreciation
Counterparty Date Amount (000) (Fund Pays) (Fund Receives) (Depreciation)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merrill Lynch July 3, 2006 $65,000 1.91% 1month LIBOR $ 1,342,815
Merrill Lynch November 28, 2006 60,000 2.82% 1month LIBOR $ 1,048,842
Merrill Lynch July 3, 2007 65,000 2.33% 1month LIBOR $ 2,429,190

NOTE 6
SECURITIES LENDING. During the period ended July 31, 2005, the Fund lent certain
of its securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be
continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a
current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities
loaned by the Fund. The Fund continues to receive the equivalent of the interest
or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned and also receives an
additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the
collateral. The Fund may pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the
Fund for services in arranging these loans. The Fund has the right to call the
loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than
five business days. The Fund does 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 Fund 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 period while the
Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of
income and lack of access to income during this period, and (c) the expenses of
enforcing its rights. In an effort to reduce these risks, Calamos Advisors LLC
and the security lending agent will monitor the creditworthiness of the firms to
which the Fund lends securities. At July 31, 2005, the Fund had securities
valued at $143,611,565 that were on loan to broker-dealers and banks and
$146,954,758 in cash or cash equivalent collateral.
