From the above, did you leave UK on 25/12/2009 and re-enter in 12/11/2010? If yes, was this on your existing visa or did you apply for a fresh entry clearance?
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.

Unfortunately Tier 2 ICT issued after 6 April 2010 does not lead to ILR on 5 year basis.
The earliest you may apply appears to be 10 years after you entered in 12/11/2010 through Long Residence route
Your stay prior to this period will be disregarded for ILR purposes as you had a break of more than 180 days
