              PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

   Earnings per share up 81 percent over third quarter 2001 and up
                      16 percent over second quarter 2002

     Chicago, IL, October 21, 2002 --- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today
reported that net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 was $3.0
million, or $0.58 per diluted share, an increase in diluted earnings per share
of 81 percent over third quarter 2001 net income of $1.6 million or $0.32 per
diluted share. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $7.8
million, or $1.51 per diluted share, an increase in diluted earnings per share
of 72 percent compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted
share, for the same period last year.

     "Despite continued sluggishness in the national economy, high quality loan
and deposit growth across the markets we serve continues to fuel our strong
financial performance. In the third quarter of 2001, PrivateBancorp passed the
$1 billion asset level; in the past 12 months, we have increased total assets by
over 30 percent to reach $1.4 billion," said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our recently announced plans to acquire
Lodestar Investment Counsel, which we anticipate will be completed during the
fourth quarter of 2002, is a significant strategic development and will allow us
to continue to pursue growth in the wealth management arena. Based upon our
strong earnings performance and absent unanticipated circumstances, we expect
our full year 2002 earnings will exceed the high-end of current analysts'
earnings estimates of $1.97 per share."

     "Credit quality continues to be strong," said Mandell, "as our
nonperforming loans are one-third of one percent of total loans. However, the
weakened state of the overall economy has impacted some of our clients and has
led us to strengthen our loan loss reserves. As always, we will continue to
monitor economic conditions as well as specific borrower situations and we will
adjust the allowance for loan losses to reflect inherent losses in the loan
portfolio."

     Deposits grew by 8 percent during the quarter to $1.2 billion, compared to
total deposits of $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2002. Deposits as of September 30,
2002 increased by 37 percent from $850.5 million at December 31, 2001. Loans
outstanding increased by 5 percent during the quarter to $913.2 million at
September 30, 2002, from $865.8 million at June 30, 2002, and 17 percent from
$780.8 million at December 31, 2001.

     Net interest income totaled $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2002, an
increase of 5 percent over second quarter 2002 net interest income of $10.0
million, due to growth in average earning assets during the quarter. Net
interest income in the third quarter of 2002 increased 48 percent over third
quarter 2001 net interest income of $7.0 million, due to growth in average
earning assets between periods as well as higher net interest margin compared to
the prior year quarter. Average earning assets during the period were $1.3
billion, compared to $1.2 billion in the second quarter 2002 and $940.4 million
in the prior year quarter, an increase of 5 percent since the second quarter
2002 and an increase of 36 percent since the prior year quarter. Net interest
margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.46 percent in the third quarter of
2002, versus 3.17 percent in the third quarter of 2001 and 3.53 percent in the
second quarter of 2002. The





margin compression during the third quarter of 2002 reflects a 13 basis point
decrease in yields on average earning assets offset by a 6 basis point decrease
in the costs of average interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in asset
yields is primarily due to lower mortgage rates which impacted new loan yields,
loan refinancings and yields on our mortgage-backed securities.

     Non interest income for the quarter increased to $1.4 million from $1.3
million in the third quarter of 2001. The increase in non interest income is
attributable primarily to an $861,000 increase in banking, trust services and
other income offset by $662,000 in trading losses and an $85,000 decrease in net
gains on the sale of investment securities.

     "As market interest rates continued to decline to historic lows late in the
third quarter, the value of the Company's long-term tax-exempt bank-qualified
municipal bond portfolio increased from an unrealized gain of $3.3 million as of
June 30, 2002 to $10.4 million as of September 30, 2002. In order to protect a
portion of the portfolio appreciation should rates rise, the Company entered
into a $25 million swap during the third quarter of 2002. We swapped the 10-year
for 3-month LIBOR to act as an economic hedge to the long municipal bonds," said
Gary L. Svec, Chief Financial Officer. The September 30, 2002 fair market value
adjustment on this swap resulted in the trading loss of $662,000.

     Net securities gains of $280,000 during the third quarter of 2002 included
a charge of $520,000 related to a 20 percent permanent impairment write-down on
the Company's interest-only collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO")
portfolio.

     Banking, trust services and other income increased to $1.8 million, or 95
percent, from the prior year quarter. Increased volume of sales of residential
real estate loans during the quarter contributed approximately $522,000 to non
interest income. Trust fee revenue increased to $686,000 from $630,000 in the
prior year quarter and down from $777,000 during the second quarter 2002. Trust
assets under administration increased to $693.9 million at September 30, 2002
compared to $684.8 million at September 30, 2001 and down from $733.9 million at
June 30, 2002. The 5 percent decrease in trust assets under administration since
June 30, 2002 is attributable primarily to continued weakness in the domestic
equity markets.

     Non interest expense increased to $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2002
from $5.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. The 33 percent increase in non
interest expense between periods reflects the continued growth of the
organization during the 12-month period. The efficiency ratio improved
significantly to 56.3 percent in the third quarter of 2002 from 60.6 percent in
the prior year quarter and up slightly from 55.4 percent in the second quarter
2002.

     At September 30, 2002, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans
were 0.33 percent, versus 0.37 percent at June 30, 2002 and 0.91 percent at
September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2002, nonaccrual loans as a percentage of
total loans were 0.05 percent, versus 0.07 percent at June 30, 2002 and 0.37
percent at September 30, 2001. Net charge-offs totaled $95,000 in the quarter
ended September 30, 2002 versus $490,000 in the second quarter 2002 and $183,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Our allowance as a percentage of total
loans increased to 1.17 percent from 1.14 percent at the end of the second
quarter 2002 and from 1.06 percent on September 30, 2001.
