              PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

            Earnings per share up 79 percent over second quarter 2001

         Chicago, IL, July 22, 2002 -- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today
reported that earnings per share increased 79 percent to $0.50 per diluted share
for the second quarter 2002 compared to second quarter 2001 earnings per diluted
share of $0.28. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $2.6
million, an increase of 92 percent over second quarter 2001 net income of $1.4
million. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased 77 percent
to $4.8 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.56
per diluted share, for the same period last year.

         "Continued strong growth in loans and deposits, increased net interest
margin and significant improvement in our operating efficiency drove second
quarter financial performance. We have invested substantially in our people, our
systems and the expansion of the PrivateBank concept over the past three years
and we are now seeing the benefits of those investments reflected in the
financial performance of PrivateBancorp," said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.

         "We continue to see ample opportunities in the markets we currently
serve, to attract new clients while at the same time continuing to pursue
expansion of services offered to current clients. Additionally, we are exploring
opportunities to expand the PrivateBank concept to potential markets which we do
not yet serve," said Mandell. "Based on our current assessment of the credit
quality of our loan portfolio, we expect our earnings will exceed the high-end
of current analysts' earnings estimates for 2002 of $1.84 per share."

         Deposit and loan growth continues to be strong. Deposits grew by 9
percent during the quarter to $1.1 billion, compared to total deposits of $981.9
million as of March 31, 2002. Deposits increased by 26 percent as of June 30,
2002 from $850.5 million at December 31, 2001. Loans outstanding increased by 11
percent to $865.8 million at June 30, 2002, from $782.4 million at March 31,
2002 and $780.8 million at December 31, 2001.

         Net interest income totaled $10.0 million in the second quarter of
2002, an increase of 51 percent over second quarter 2001 net interest income of
$6.6 million, due to growth in average earning assets between periods as well as
improvements in net interest margin. Average earning assets during the period
were $1.2 billion, compared to $864.0 million in the prior year quarter, an
increase of 40 percent. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) improved
to 3.53 percent in the second quarter of 2002, up substantially from 3.18
percent in the first quarter of 2002, and up from 3.21 percent in the second
quarter of 2001. The improvement in net interest margin compared to the first
quarter of 2002 is primarily attributable to decreases in our cost of funds
resulting from maturing funding sources that have been replaced at lower rates.

         Non-interest income was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2002,
reflecting an increase of approximately $699,000 or 51 percent compared to the
second quarter of 2001. The increase in non-

                                       5



interest income is attributable to increased banking, trust service and other
income, offset by lower securities gains. Banking, trust services and other
income increased $777,000, or 76%, from the prior year quarter. Increased volume
levels in sales of residential real estate loans during the quarter contributed
approximately $418,000 to this increase. Securities gains totaled $274,000
during the second quarter of 2002, compared to $353,000 in the second quarter of
2001. Trust assets under administration increased to $733.9 million at June 30,
2002 compared to $711.9 million at June 30, 2001, and down from $758.2 million
at March 31, 2002. The nominal 3 percent decrease in trust assets under
administration since March 31, 2002 is attributable primarily to continued
weakness in the domestic equity markets, offset by new wealth management
business revenue generated during the quarter.

         Non-interest expense increased to $7.1 million in the second quarter of
2002 from $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2001. The 32 percent increase in
non-interest expense between periods is primarily attributable to increases in
salaries and employee benefits resulting from the increased scope of operations
and compares favorably to the larger increases in net interest income and
non-interest income for the same period. As a result, the efficiency ratio
improved significantly to 55.4 percent in the second quarter of 2002 from 64.5
percent in the prior year quarter.

         Credit quality remains high. At June 30, 2002, nonperforming loans as a
percentage of total loans were 0.37 percent, unchanged from March 31, 2002 and
June 30, 2001. At June 30, 2002, nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans
were 0.07 percent, versus 0.19 percent at March 31, 2002 and 0.23 percent at
June 30, 2001. Net charge-offs, primarily relating to one commercial real estate
credit, totaled $490,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 versus $27,000 in
the first quarter 2002 and $297,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The
provision for loan losses was $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2002, versus
$511,000 in the first quarter 2002 and $738,000 in the second quarter of 2001.
The allowance as a percentage of loans was 1.14 percent as of June 30, 2002
compared to 1.12 percent at March 31, 2002 and 1.04 percent as of June 30, 2001.
The increased level of the allowance reflects management's ongoing assessment of
the losses that are probable and reasonably estimable in the loan portfolio. Our
analysis is influenced by the volume and quality of loans and commitments in the
portfolio, loss experience and economic conditions.
