Bulls and Calamos Investments today announced a multi-year
partnership that makes the metropolitan Chicago-based global asset manager the first

Center.
Calamos will sponsor a new Chicago Bulls "Rising Player" content

channels throughout the season highlighting a player whose
performance is on the rise. The partnership also provides
Calamos with digital signage in-arena, as well as access to unique

relationship between the Chicago Bulls and Calamos, a company that
shares our belief in the value of hard work and a commitment to
true partnership," said Michael
Reinsdorf, President and COO. "We gave a great deal of
consideration to what company would be featured so prominently on
the court when we play at the United Center, and so we are thrilled
to have a company of Calamos's caliber be the first to have
its logo on our court apron."

that go beyond typical sponsorship agreements," said John Koudounis, Chief Executive Officer of
