FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS
            EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 58 PERCENT OVER FOURTH QUARTER 2001

         Chicago, IL, January 21, 2003 -- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB)
today reported that net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2002
was $3.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, an increase in diluted earnings
per share of 58 percent over fourth quarter 2001 net income of $1.9 million or
$0.26 per diluted share. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect
the three-for-two stock split, effected in the form of a 50 percent stock
dividend, paid to shareholders on January 17, 2003. Net income for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2002 was $11.0 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, an
increase in diluted earnings per share of 67 percent compared to net income of
$6.2 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

         "During the fourth quarter of 2002, we continued our trend of strong
quarterly performance in spite of the slow-growth economic conditions
experienced nationally. Our quarterly earnings performance was fueled by solid
loan growth, stable margins and improvements in banking, and trust services fee
income," said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO, "At year-end, The
PrivateBank & Trust Company subsidiary acquired a controlling interest in a
Chicago based asset manager, Lodestar Investment Counsel, enhancing our wealth
management capabilities and increasing client assets under management to $1.2
billion at year end."

         "Asset quality remains very strong with nonperforming loans to total
loans at 0.14 of one percent and nonaccrual loans to total loans at 0.08 of one
percent," said Mandell.

         Deposits grew by 4 percent during the quarter to $1.20 billion,
compared to total deposits of $1.16 billion as of September 30, 2002. Deposits
as of December 31, 2002 increased by 42 percent from $850.5 million at December
31, 2001. Loans outstanding increased by 6 percent during the quarter to $965.6
million at December 31, 2002, from $913.2 million at September 30, 2002, and 24
percent from $780.8 million at December 31, 2001.

         Net interest income totaled $11.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2002, an increase of 49 percent over fourth quarter 2001 net interest income of
$7.9 million, due to growth in average earning assets between periods as well as
higher net interest margin compared to the prior year quarter. Net interest
income in the fourth quarter of 2002 increased 13 percent over third quarter
2002 net interest income of $10.4 million due to growth in average earning
assets during the quarter. Average earning assets during the period were $1.4
billion, compared to $1.3 billion in the third quarter 2002 and $908.6 million
in the prior year quarter, an increase of 8 percent since the third quarter 2002
and an increase of 52 percent since the prior year quarter. Net interest margin
(on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.56 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002,
versus 3.28 percent in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 3.46 percent in the third
quarter of 2002. The improvement in net interest margin during the fourth
quarter as compared to the third quarter 2002 reflects the impact of a one
percentage point increase in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") dividend rate
from 5 to 6 percent that was received by the Company during the fourth quarter.
Excluding the impact of the FHLB dividend rate increase, net interest margin for
the fourth quarter 2002 was relatively unchanged from third quarter 2002 net
interest margin.



         Noninterest income for the quarter decreased to $1.4 million,
reflecting a decrease of $960,000, or 41 percent, from $2.3 million reported in
the fourth quarter of 2001. The decrease in noninterest income is attributable
primarily to the recognition of net investment securities losses in the fourth
quarter of 2002 compared to $1.2 million of net investment securities gains
reported in the fourth quarter of 2001. Net investment securities losses of
$313,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002 were attributable primarily to a
charge of $500,000 related to an additional permanent impairment write-down on
the Company's interest-only collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") portfolio
due to accelerated mortgage prepayments experienced during the quarter. The
remaining carrying value of the Company's interest-only collateralized mortgage
obligation ("CMO") portfolio at December 31, 2002 was $1.1 million.
Additionally, the fair market value adjustment on a previously disclosed $25.0
million 10-year for 3-month LIBOR interest rate swap resulted in trading losses
of $282,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002.

         Banking, trust services and other income increased 72 percent, or
$826,000, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to fees earned on the sale
of mortgage loans. Gross loan fees from the sale of residential loans in the
secondary market increased by $694,000 to $821,000 during the current quarter
versus the prior year quarter. Income from banking and other services increased
by 25 percent to $314,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2002 as compared
to the prior year quarter. Trust revenues increased by 7 percent to $690,000 as
compared to the fourth quarter 2001. Trust assets under administration increased
to $757.9 million at December 31, 2002 compared to $722.7 million at December
31, 2001. Including the Lodestar acquisition, PrivateBancorp had approximately
$1.2 billion in client assets under management in the Company's wealth
management area at December 31, 2002.

         Noninterest expense increased to $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of
2002 from $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. The 20 percent increase in
noninterest expense between periods is attributable to increased costs
associated with the greater scope of operations. Our full-time equivalent (FTE)
employees increased to 184 from 161 a year ago. The efficiency ratio improved to
57.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002 down from 60.9 percent in the prior
year quarter and up slightly from 56.3 percent in the third quarter 2002.

         At December 31, 2002, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total
loans were 0.14 percent, versus 0.33 percent at September 30, 2002 and 0.41
percent at December 31, 2001. At December 31, 2002, nonaccrual loans as a
percentage of total loans were 0.08 percent versus 0.05 percent at September 30,
2002 and 0.09 percent at December 31, 2001. Net recoveries totaled $29,000 in
the quarter ended December 31, 2002 versus net charge offs of $95,000 in the
third quarter 2002 and $509,000 in the year-earlier quarter. Our allowance as a
percentage of total loans increased to 1.20 percent from 1.17 percent at the end
of the third quarter 2002 and up from 1.06 percent at December 31, 2001.
