For Immediate Release

                 PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

     Chicago, IL, July 24, 2000 -- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today
reported that net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, was
$1,098,000, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 1999 net
income of $1,112,000, or $0.30 per diluted share. Net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, was $1,949,000, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to
$2,139,000 or $0.58 per diluted share, over the same period last year.

     "The opening of The PrivateBank (St. Louis) on June 26, 2000, represents a
significant milestone in the execution of our strategy for growth," said Ralph
B. Mandell, chairman, president and CEO. "We have assembled an outstanding
management team and are excited about the market potential in St. Louis. Results
for the quarter continue to reflect the costs associated with our expansion into
new markets."

     Net interest income totaled $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2000, an
increase of 58 percent over the second quarter of 1999. Average earning assets
during the period were $645.4 million, an increase of 55 percent over the prior
year second quarter. Net interest margin averaged 3.81 percent in the second
quarter of 2000, versus 3.61 percent in the prior year second quarter. The
company has benefited during the current rising interest rate environment as the
yield on interest earning assets has increased more rapidly than the company's
cost of funds.

     "We are very pleased with the improvement in net interest margin which is
the result of increasing loan outstandings throughout our franchise. Strong
business development at our new



offices and in our existing markets will continue to positively impact net
interest income throughout the remainder of 2000," said Mandell.

     Non-interest income for the quarter grew to $751,000, reflecting an
increase of $235,000 or 46 percent higher than in the second quarter of 1999.
The increase in non-interest income is attributable to increases in service
charge income and trust fee revenues. Service charge income increased $107,000
over the prior year quarter primarily due to the acquisition of Johnson Bank
Illinois. Trust fee revenue increased to $551,000 as compared to the prior year
quarter of $445,000. Trust assets under administration increased to $761.8
million at June 30, 2000 compared to $666.6 million at June 30, 1999, an
increase of 14 percent which is partially due to the addition of trust business
from Johnson Bank Illinois.

     Non-interest expense increased to $4.5 million in the second quarter of
2000 from $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1999, due to increases in
operating and personnel expenses associated with the company's recent expansion.
Additionally, goodwill amortization of $206,000 was recorded during the second
quarter resulting from the Johnson Bank Illinois acquisition, which closed on
February 11, 2000.

     At June 30, 2000, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were
0.17 percent, versus 0.24 percent at June 30, 1999 and 0.30 percent at March 31,
2000. Charge-offs totaled $381,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 versus
$5,000 in the year-earlier period. The increase in charge-offs is attributable
primarily to a single commercial credit. The provision for loan losses was
$662,000 in the second quarter of 2000, versus $ 213,000 in the second quarter
of 1999. The increase in the provision for loan losses was driven primarily by
growth in the company's loan portfolio.
