About the Fund


	•	The Fund’s dynamic asset allocation approach and broad investment universe provides enhanced opportunities to pursue income and total returns.

	•	Invests primarily in securities of U.S. issuers.

Dear current and prospective shareholders:

Since 1977, our experience and the evolution of our one-team, one-process approach to investing have continued to meet the investment needs of our individual and institutional investors through many uncertain times and volatile markets. Our goal is to find the optimal balance between opportunity and risk, allowing our investors to take advantage of market gains while minimizing the impact of downward markets. At Calamos Investments, a single team of experts manages all of our strategies including equity, fixed-income and alternative strategies. Our unique process allows us to dynamically invest in a combination of asset classes where we see opportunity.

In 1985, we created our first mutual Fund and one of the first convertible securities mutual Funds by utilizing our experience managing institutional portfolios. Over the years, we have built upon that experience to create many investment strategies in open-end and closed-end Fund formats. Beginning in 1996, we began offering global investment strategies to capitalize on investment opportunities around the world.

In 2002, we launched our first closed-end Fund to great success. Closed-end Funds are long-term investments, the majority of which focus on providing monthly distributions, but there are important differences among individual closed-end Funds.

Today, we manage a total of five closed-end Funds. While each closed-end Fund has a different risk profile, the overall objectives are consistent. Calamos’ closed-end Funds can be grouped into two broad categories: enhanced fixed-income Funds and total return Funds. Each of our closed-end Funds invests in a combination of asset classes, maintaining the potential for capital appreciation and providing sources of income.

Enhanced Fixed-Income Funds

Portfolios positioned to pursue high current income from investment income and capital gains.


–	Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund (CHI)—invests in high yield and convertible securities, primarily in U.S. markets.


–	Convertible and High Income Fund (CHY)—invests in high yield and convertible securities, primarily in U.S. markets.

–	Global Dynamic Income Fund (CHW)—invests in equities and higher yielding convertible securities and corporate bonds in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets.


Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund Letter to Shareholders SEMIANNUAL REPORT				1

Letter to Shareholders

Total Return Funds

Portfolios positioned to seek current income with increased emphasis on capital gains potential.


–	Global Total Return Fund (CGO)—invests in equities and higher yielding convertible securities and corporate bonds, in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets.

–	Strategic Total Return Fund (CSQ)—invests in equities and higher yielding convertible securities and corporate bonds, primarily in U.S. markets.

Broadly speaking, we continue to favor companies and issuers with stronger balance sheets and the ability to grow without over-relying on the capital markets. We continue to emphasize companies with global leadership positions, well-recognized brands and capable management teams. Our investment process also reflects long-term thematic influences, such as productivity improvements, globalization and infrastructure building.

We believe that the volatility in the markets will continue to be unpredictable; accordingly, our aim is to think globally and be flexible. We have positioned the portfolios in higher quality names relative to the investment universe in which each respective Fund may participate. In regards to equities, while focusing on income and total return objectives, we have favored larger companies that have stronger balance sheets and global revenue streams, which we believe are better positioned to take advantage of opportunities that globalization offers and have the strength to withstand potential market turbulence.

While there are many positive signs in the economic picture, we continue to favor more conservative positioning in convertibles and high yield bonds. Notably, we have maintained an underweight position in the lowest quality credit tier. Over the years, we have relied heavily on our credit process to serve shareholders. We continue to believe that avoiding these speculative credits is prudent risk management, and historically has served our shareholders well. We have conviction that this positioning provides the portfolio with an attractive risk/reward profile in the current market environment.

In this semiannual report you will find a variety of information about the six months ended April 30, 2010 for your review. Enclosed are commentaries from our investment team, a list of portfolio holdings, financial data and highlights, as well as details about the performance and asset allocation.

During the reporting period, the Fund continued to operate in a very low interest rate environment. The environment has been conducive to the prudent use of leverage in the Fund, as we were able to borrow at inexpensive rates and achieve a return greater than the cost of leverage on the invested proceeds. The use of leverage has also been supportive of the Fund’s distribution rate. We plan to continue the judicious use of leverage so long as we believe it will create value for shareholders. Further, we believe that the Fund’s current distribution rate remains very attractive, especially when viewed against other income producing strategies. We and the Fund’s Board of Trustees remain committed to providing a distribution that we believe is generally sustainable over the long-term and we will continue to keep a watchful eye on the investment climate to determine an appropriate rate for our shareholders.

The objective of the Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund (CHI) is to seek total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of convertible securities and below-investment-grade (high yield) fixed-income securities. The Fund’s enhanced fixed-income strategy spans the credit quality range and uses a variety of debt instruments to achieve its objective. The strategy provides an alternative to investment-grade fixed-income instruments.

About the Fund


•	The Fund’s dynamic asset allocation approach and broad investment universe provide enhanced opportunities to pursue income and total returns.

•	The Fund utilizes a blend of high yield and convertible securities in seeking to achieve high income.

•	Invests primarily in securities of U.S. issuers.

How did the Fund perform over the reporting period on a NAV Basis basis?

CHI’s net asset value (NAV) total return was a gain of 12.01% for the reporting period, outperforming the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index performance of 11.53% but lagging the BofA ML Convertible Excluding Mandatories Index performance of 15.88%.

How did the Fund perform over the reporting period on a market price basis?

The return on market price was 18.99% for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. This significantly outperformed both the high yield and convertible indexes mentioned above. The Fund realized a significant improvement to the discount to NAV (percentage that the Fund’s publicly traded price is relative to the NAV) moving

Investment Team Commentary

from a 3.63% discount at the beginning of the period to a premium of 2.37% at the end of the period.

What affected the Fund’s performance over the reporting period?

The Fund’s NAV benefited as high yield bonds and convertible securities, the Fund’s principle investment areas, performed well as investors sought income-producing securities during the reporting period. High yield credit spreads narrowed, indicating a preference for high yield bonds, and ended the period with the average spread trading at 588 basis points according to JP Morgan market data (at the beginning of the period, the spread was 749 basis points). In the convertible market, the reporting period was characterized by significant outperformance of the CCC credit tier of the convertible market. In this uncertain market environment, we have been significantly underweight the CCC rated issuers and this hampered the Fund’s performance.

From a sector perspective, value was added versus the Credit Suisse High Yield Index from an underweight position and issue selection within the health care sector. Value was also added through issue selection in the financials sector. The Fund was held back by an underweight allocation and lagging selection within consumer discretionary as it was the best performing sector in the index for the period. Security selection within the energy and consumer staples sectors also hampered performance.

The Fund is focused on investing in securities that offer a yield or distribution, and that will also potentially offer total return over the long term. To help manage risks in this area, and certainly in light of current economic and market conditions, the Fund tends to have a higher quality bias than the broad high yield or convertible markets. While this did somewhat reduce returns as the lowest quality tiers of these markets showed the strongest performance, we continue to protect against volatility and default potential of the lowest grade securities.

What are your current thoughts regarding the Fund’s distribution rate?

The Fund has been operating in a very low interest rate environment as witnessed by the lower relative yields found in the marketplace. The S&P 500 Dividend Yield has been roughly 2%, 10 Year Treasury Bonds were yielding 3.3% and 30 Year Treasuries were yielding 4.2%. As such, we have been pleased with the market price yield of 8.80% at the end of the reporting period. The goal of the level rate distribution policy is to provide investors a predictable, though not assured, level of cash flow, which can either serve as a stable income stream or, through reinvestment, contribute significantly to long-term total return.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization. Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 17, 2002 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund commenced operations on June 26, 2002. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its managed assets in a diversified portfolio of convertibles and non-convertible income securities. “Managed assets” means the Fund’s total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage).

Fund Valuation. The valuation of the Fund’s securities is in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees.

Fund securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, except option securities, are valued at the last current reported sales price at the time a Fund determines its net asset value (“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 the 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 in accordance with guidelines adopted by the board of trustees. 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 of trustees. Each over-the-counter option that is not traded through the Options Clearing Corporation is valued based on a quotation provided by the counterparty to such option under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees.

Fixed income securities and certain convertible preferred securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Valuations of such fixed income securities and certain convertible preferred securities consider yield or price of equivalent securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data and do not rely exclusively upon exchange or over-the-counter prices.

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. Each security trading on these exchanges or over-the-counter markets may be valued utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service approved by the board of trustees. The valuation of each security that meets certain criteria in relation to the valuation model is systematically adjusted to reflect the impact of movement in the U.S. market after the foreign markets close. Securities that do not meet the criteria, or that are principally traded in other foreign markets, are valued as of the last reported sale price at the time the 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 Fund’s NAV is not calculated.

If the pricing committee 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 pricing committee, under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees, following the guidelines and/or procedures adopted by the board of trustees.

The Fund also may use fair value pricing, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the board of trustees and under the ultimate supervision of the board of trustees, 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 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 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. In light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security is accurate.

Investment Transactions. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. 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 Fund does 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 the Fund are charged to the 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 and Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund 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.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Fund’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 its 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. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments and methods of amortizing and accreting on fixed income securities. The financial statements are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The Fund 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 2005-2008 remain subject to examination by the U.S. and the State of Illinois tax jurisdictions.

Indemnifications. Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the Fund 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 Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Currently, the Fund’s management expects the risk of material loss in connection to a potential claim to be remote.

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES OR CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Calamos Advisors LLC (“Calamos Advisors”), the Fund pays an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.80% based on the average weekly managed assets. “Managed assets” means a fund’s total assets (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus total liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). Calamos Advisors has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee at the annual rate of 0.11% of the average weekly managed assets of the Fund through June 30, 2010 and to waive a declining amount for an additional year. Beginning July 1, 2010, for a period of twelve months, such fee waived will be 0.04% of the average weekly managed assets. For the period ended April 30, 2010, the total advisory fee waived pursuant to such agreement was $174,297 and is included in the Statement of Operations under the caption “Less expense reductions”.

Pursuant to a financial accounting services agreement, during the period the Fund paid Calamos Advisors a fee for financial accounting services payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.0175% on the first $1 billion of combined assets, 0.0150% on the next $1 billion of combined assets and 0.0110% on combined assets above $2 billion (for purposes of this calculation “combined assets” means the sum of the total average daily net assets of Calamos Investment Trust, Calamos Advisors Trust, and the total average weekly managed assets of Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund, Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund, Calamos Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund, Calamos Global Total Return Fund and Calamos Global Dynamic Income Fund). Financial accounting services include, but are not limited to, the following: managing expenses and expense payment processing; monitoring the calculation of expense accrual amounts; calculating, tracking and reporting tax adjustments on all assets; and monitoring trustee deferred compensation plan accruals and valuations. The Fund pays its pro rata share of the financial accounting services fee payable to Calamos Advisors based on its relative portion of combined assets used in calculating the fee.

The Fund reimburses Calamos Advisors for a portion of compensation paid to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of “Trustees’’ fees and officer compensation” expense on the Statement of Operations.

A trustee and certain officers of the Fund are also officers and directors of Calamos Advisors. Such trustee and officers serve without direct compensation from the Fund.

The Fund has adopted a deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, a trustee who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) and has elected to participate in the Plan (a “participating trustee”) may defer receipt of all or a portion of his compensation from the Fund. The deferred compensation payable to the participating trustee is credited to the trustee’s deferral account as of the business day such compensation would have been paid to the participating trustee. The value of amounts deferred for a participating trustee is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I shares of one or more funds of Calamos Investment Trust designated by the participant. The value of the account increases with contributions to the account or with increases in the value of the measuring shares, and the value of the account decreases with withdrawals from the account or with declines in the value of the measuring shares. Deferred compensation of $124,927 is included in “Other assets” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at April 30, 2010. The Fund’s obligation to make payments under the Plan is a general obligation of the Fund and is included in “Payable for deferred compensation to trustees” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at April 30, 2010.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES

The Fund intends to make monthly distributions from its income available for distribution, which consists of the Fund’s dividends and interest income after payment of Fund expenses, and net realized gains on stock investments. At least annually, the Fund intends to distribute all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains, if any. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distinguishes between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in-capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income. Distributions in any year may include a return of capital component. The tax character of distributions for the period ended April 30, 2010 will be determined at the end of each Fund’s current fiscal year.

Distributions for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, were characterized for federal income tax purposes as follows:

As of October 31, 2009, the components of accumulated earnings/(loss) on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income	$	—
Undistributed capital gains		—


Total undistributed earnings		—
Accumulated capital and other losses		(45,276,397	)

The Fund also may offer and sell common shares from time to time at an offering price equal to or in excess of the net asset value per share of the Fund’s common shares at the time such common shares are initially sold. Transactions for the first six months of the fiscal year had net proceeds received in excess of net asset value of $338,276.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Foreign Currency Risk. The Fund may engage in portfolio hedging with respect to changes in currency exchange rates by entering into foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell currencies. A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include, among other things, movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. The net unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to the Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. The contracts are valued daily at forward foreign exchange rates and an unrealized gain or loss is recorded. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when a position is closed or upon settlement of the contracts. There were no open forward currency contracts at April 30, 2010.

Equity Risk. The Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieve the 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, the Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund 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 the 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, the 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 as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund engages in interest rate swaps primarily to hedge the interest rate risk on the fund’s borrowings (see Note 8 – Borrowings). An interest rate swap is a contract that involves the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate. Three main types of interest rate swaps are coupon swaps (fixed rate to floating rate in the same currency); basis swaps (one floating rate index to another floating rate index in the same currency); and cross-currency interest rate swaps (fixed rate in one currency to floating rate in another). In the case of a coupon swap, a Fund may agree with a counterparty that the Fund will pay a fixed rate (multiplied by a notional amount) while the counterparty will pay a floating rate multiplied by the same notional amount. If interest rates rise, resulting in a diminution in the value of the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund would receive payments under the swap that would offset, in whole or in part, such diminution in value; if interest rates fall, the Fund would likely lose money on the swap transaction. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset, and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on interest rate swaps in the Statement of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded in net realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of the swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts in the event of default or bankruptcy of the Fund.

Premiums paid to or by a Fund are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) when paid on swaps in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The contracts are marked-to-market daily based upon third party vendor valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms, counterparty’s creditworthiness, and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts.

As of April 30, 2010, the Fund had outstanding interest rate swap agreements as listed on the Schedule of Investments.

NOTE 7 – PREFERRED SHARES

On March 18, 2009, the Fund’s Board approved the final redemption of all preferred shares outstanding. The shares were redeemed at a price of $25,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (an aggregate price of $104,014,687).

NOTE 8 – BORROWINGS

The Fund, with the approval of its board of trustees, including its independent trustees, has entered into a financing package that includes a Committed Facility Agreement (the Agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc. (as successor to Bank of America N.A.) (“BNP”) that allows the Fund to borrow up to an initial limit of $300,000,000 and a Lending Agreement, as defined below. Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by assets of the Fund that are held with the Fund’s custodian in a separate account (the “pledged collateral”). Interest is charged at the quarterly LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate) plus .95% on the amount borrowed and .85% on the undrawn balance. For the period ended April 30, 2010, the average borrowings and the average interest rate were $193,000,000 and 1.22%, respectively. As of April 30, 2010, the amount of such outstanding borrowings is $193,000,000. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings on April 30, 2010 was 1.29%.

The Lending Agreement is a separate side-agreement between the Fund and BNP pursuant to which BNP may borrow a portion of the pledged collateral (the “Lent Securities”) in an amount not to exceed the outstanding borrowings owed by the Fund to BNP under the Agreement. The Lending Agreement is intended to permit the Fund to significantly reduce the cost of its borrowings under the Agreement. BNP may re-register the Lent Securities in its own name or in another name other than the Fund, and may pledge, re-pledge, sell, lend or otherwise transfer or use the Lent Securities with all attendant rights of ownership. (It is the Fund’s understanding that BNP will perform due diligence to determine the creditworthiness of any party that borrows Lent Securities from BNP.) The Fund may designate any security within the pledged collateral as ineligible to be a Lent Security, provided there are eligible securities within the pledged collateral in an amount equal to the outstanding borrowing owed by the Fund. During the period in which the Lent Securities are outstanding, BNP must remit payment to the Fund equal to the amount of all dividends, interest or other distributions earned or made by the Lent Securities.

Under the terms of the Lending Agreement, the Lent Securities are marked to market daily, and if the value of the Lent Securities exceeds the value of the then-outstanding borrowings owed by the Fund to BNP under the Agreement (the “Current Borrowings”), BNP must, on that day, either (1) return Lent Securities to the Fund’s custodian in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings; or (2) post cash collateral with the Fund’s custodian equal to the difference between the value of the Lent Securities and the value of the Current Borrowings. If BNP fails to perform either of these actions as required, the Fund will recall securities, as discussed below, in an amount sufficient to cause the value of the outstanding Lent Securities to equal the Current Borrowings. The Fund can recall any of the Lent Securities and BNP shall, to the extent commercially possible, return such security or equivalent security to the Fund’s custodian no later than three business days after such request. If the Fund recalls a Lent Security pursuant to the Lending Agreement, and BNP fails to return the Lent Securities or equivalent securities in a timely fashion, BNP shall remain liable to the Fund’s custodian for the ultimate delivery of such Lent Securities, or equivalent securities, and for any buy-in costs that the executing broker for the sales transaction may impose with respect to the failure to deliver. The Fund shall also have the right to apply and set-off an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the then-current fair market value of such Lent Securities against the Current Borrowings.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 9 – SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund 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 Fund. The Fund continues 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. Upon receipt of cash or cash equivalent collateral, the Fund’s securities lending agent invests the collateral into short term investments following investment guidelines approved by Calamos Advisors. The Fund records the investment of collateral as an asset and the value of the collateral as a liability 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 Fund will record unrealized depreciation equal to the decline in value of the invested 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 a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time. 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, the Fund’s security lending agent monitors and reports to Calamos Advisors on the creditworthiness of the firms to which a Fund lends securities. At April 30, 2010, the Fund had no securities on loan.

NOTE 10 – SYNTHETIC CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

The Fund may establish a “synthetic” convertible instrument by combining separate securities that possess the economic characteristics similar to a convertible security, i.e., fixed-income securities (“fixed-income component”), which may be a convertible or non-convertible security and the right to acquire equity securities (“convertible component”). The fixed-income component is achieved by investing in fixed income securities such as bonds, preferred stocks, and money market instruments. The convertible component is achieved by investing in warrants or purchased 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 purchased 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 also 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.

NOTE 11 – WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES

A Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time the Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. A Fund makes such commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if Calamos Advisors deems it advisable for investment reasons. A Fund may utilize spot and forward foreign currency exchange transactions to reduce the risk inherent in fluctuations in the exchange rate between one currency and another when securities are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.


26		Convertible Opportunities and Income Fund SEMIANNUAL REPORT Notes to Financial Statements

Notes to Financial Statements

At the time when the Fund enters into a binding obligation to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, liquid assets (cash, U.S. Government securities or other “high-grade” debt obligations) of the Fund having a value at least as great as the purchase price of the securities to be purchased will be segregated on the books of the Fund and held by the custodian throughout the period of the obligation. The use of this investment strategy may increase net asset value fluctuation.

NOTE 12 – STRUCTURED EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES

The Fund may also invest in structured equity-linked securities created by third parties, typically investment banks. Structured equity-linked securities created by such parties may be designed to simulate the characteristics of traditional convertible securities or may be designed to alter or emphasize a particular feature. Traditional convertible securities typically offer stable cash flows with the ability to participate in capital appreciation of the underlying common stock. Because traditional convertible securities are exercisable at the option of the holder, the holder is protected against downside risk. Structured equity-linked securities may alter these characteristics by offering enhanced yields in exchange for reduced capital appreciation or less downside protection, or any combination of these features. Structured equity-linked instruments may include structured notes, equity-linked notes, mandatory convertibles and combinations of securities and instruments, such as a debt instrument combined with a forward contract. Income received from these securities is recorded as dividends on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 13 – VALUATIONS

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


	•	Level 1 assets and liabilities use inputs from unadjusted quoted prices from active markets (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange).

	•	Level 2 assets and liabilities reflect inputs other than quoted prices, but use observable market data (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).

	•	Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own judgments about assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value).

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s holdings at fair value:

**		Net investment income allocated based on average shares method.

(a)		Amount equated to less than $0.005 per common share.

(b)		Total investment return is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of the period reported. Dividends and distributions are assumed, for purposes of this calculation, to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Total return is not annualized for periods less than one year. Brokerage commissions are not reflected. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the Fund at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions.

(c)		Does not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred Shareholders.

(d)		Annualized.

(e)		Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (not including Preferred Shares) from the Fund’s total assets and dividing this by the number of Preferred Shares outstanding.

(f)		Calculated by subtracting the Fund’s total liabilities (not including Note payable) and preferred shares from the Fund’s total assets and dividing this by the amount of note payable outstanding, and by multiplying the result by 1,000.
