Letter from the CEOs                                                                                                                                  As of December 19, 2011


Dear investor in ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC:

We write to briefly summarize our activity for the third quarter of 2011.  A more detailed analysis, which we encourage you to read, is contained in our Form 10-Q.  Our Form 10-Q and our other quarterly, annual, and current reports are available in the Investor Relations section of our website, www.iconinvestments.com.

As of September 30, 2011, Fund Twelve was in its operating period.  As of September 30th, Fund Twelve had invested $331,178,918 of capital in $698,837,1801 worth of business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure.  We invested $8,287,552 in total equity in 20112.

In the third quarter of 2011, Fund Twelve, through a joint venture owned 49.54% by us, borrowed approximately $10,628,000 from Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. pursuant to a non-recourse loan agreement.  The loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest in the eight Ariel gas compressors subject to lease with Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent, LLC.

In addition, on September 23, 2011, we, through a joint venture owned 51% by us, sold the Aframax product tanker, the Mayon Spirit, to an unaffiliated third party for proceeds of approximately $8,200,000. The third-party debt of approximately $4,000,000 was satisfied.
 
We believe our portfolio is performing well and that there will continue to be many opportunities to deploy equity in well structured deals collateralized by business-essential equipment and corporate infrastructure.

We invite you to read through our portfolio overview on the pages that follow for a more detailed explanation of the above described investments as well as more information regarding Fund Twelve’s operations to date.  As always, thank you for entrusting ICON with your investment assets.

Third Quarter 2011 Portfolio Overview

 
 
We are pleased to present ICON Leasing Fund Twelve, LLC’s (the “Fund”) Portfolio Overview for the third quarter of 2011.  References to “we,” “us,” and “our” are references to the Fund, and references to the “Manager” are references to the manager of the Fund, ICON Capital Corp.
 
The Fund
 
We raised $347,686,947 commencing with our initial offering on May 7, 2007 through the closing of our offering on April 30, 2009.
 
Our operating period commenced in May 2009, during which time we will continue to seek to finance equipment subject to lease or to structure financings secured primarily by equipment.  Cash generated from these investments is used to make distributions to our members.  Availability of cash to be used for reinvestment depends on the requirements for expenses, reserves and distributions to members.
 
Our operating period is anticipated to continue for a period of five years from the closing of the offering, unless extended at our Manager’s sole discretion.  Following our operating period, we will enter our liquidation period, during which time the leases and loans we own will mature or be sold in the ordinary course of business.
