STATUS OF OUR CONTINUOUS PUBLIC OFFERING

 Since commencing our continuous public offering on July 2, 2012 and through October 15, 2014, we received and accepted subscriptions in our offering for approximately 44,693,100 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $10.23, for corresponding gross proceeds of approximately $457,203,900, including shares purchased by our affiliates, shares repurchased pursuant to our share repurchase program and proceeds from our second amended and restated distribution reinvestment plan.

DISTRIBUTIONS

 On October 15, 2014, our board of directors (the “Board”) declared four regular weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share each (an annualized rate of 7.00% based on our current $10.45 per share public offering price), which will be paid in November 2014.

 Each of the regular weekly cash distributions of $0.014067 per share will be paid on November 26, 2014, to shareholders of record on November 4, November 11, November 18, and November 25, 2014.

 The determination of the tax attributes of our distributions is made annually as of the end of our fiscal year based upon our taxable income and distributions paid, in each case, for the full year. Therefore, a determination as to the tax attributes of the distributions made on a quarterly basis may not be representative of the actual tax attributes for a full year. We intend to update shareholders quarterly with an estimated percentage of our distributions that resulted from taxable ordinary income. The actual tax characteristics of distributions to shareholders will be reported to shareholders annually on a Form 1099-DIV. The payment of future distributions on our common stock is subject to the discretion of the Board and applicable legal restrictions, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions.

 We may fund our cash distributions to shareholders from any sources of funds available to us, including offering proceeds, borrowings, net investment income from operations, capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, non-capital gains proceeds from the sale of assets, dividends or other distributions paid to us on account of preferred and common equity investments in portfolio companies and expense reimbursements from ICON Investment Group, LLC (“IIG”), which are subject to recoupment. To date, distributions have not been paid from offering proceeds or borrowings.  To date, if expense reimbursements from IIG were not supported, some or all of the distributions may have been a return of capital for tax purposes; however, distributions have not included a return of capital for tax purposes as of the date hereof.  We have not established limits on the amount of funds we may use from available sources to make distributions. A substantial portion of our distributions have resulted, and future distributions may result, from expense reimbursements from IIG, which are subject to repayment by us within three years. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid such distributions being characterized as returns of capital for tax purposes. Shareholders should understand that any such distributions are not based on our investment performance, and can only be sustained if we achieve positive investment performance in future periods and/or IIG continues to make such expense reimbursements. Shareholders should also understand that our future repayments will reduce the distributions that they would otherwise receive.  There can be no assurance that we will achieve such performance in order to sustain these distributions, or be able to pay distributions at all.  IIG has no obligation to provide expense reimbursements to us in future periods.
