For Immediate Release

              PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

            Earnings per share up 70 percent over second quarter 2002
                     and 27 percent over first quarter 2003

     Chicago, IL, July 21, 2003--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today
reported earnings per share of $0.56 per diluted share for the second quarter
2003 compared to second quarter 2002 earnings per diluted share of $0.33, an
increase of 70 percent. Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003
was $4.6 million, an increase of 77 percent over second quarter 2002 net income
of $2.6 million. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $8.2
million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.8 million, or
$0.62 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, an increase in
diluted earnings per share of 63 percent. 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.

     "Our earnings growth this past quarter was driven by a significant increase
in noninterest income due to securities gains, accompanied by sustained loan,
investment securities and deposit growth at both of our banks," said Ralph B.
Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO. "We are pleased to report that our asset
quality remains strong. Our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was
0.26 percent and nonaccrual loans to total loans WAS 0.08 percent," added
Mandell.

     Net interest income totaled $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2003, an
increase of 26 percent over second quarter 2002 net interest income of $10.0
million, and a decrease of 3 percent as compared to first quarter 2003 net
interest income of $13.0 million. Average earning assets during the period were
$1.58 billion, compared to $1.21 billion in the prior year quarter,

                                       1



an increase of 31 percent. Average earning assets increased by $92.2 million, or
6 percent during the second quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter
2003. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.33 percent in the
second quarter of 2003, down from 3.53 percent in the prior year second quarter
and down from 3.68 percent in the first quarter of 2003. The margin compression
during the second quarter of 2003 reflects decreases in yields on average
earning assets partially offset by a decrease in the costs of average
interest-bearing liabilities from the yields and costs incurred in the first
quarter of 2003. Approximately half of the sequential quarter margin compression
was due to an additional $45.0 million investment in Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") stock that was made in May 2003. Recognition of dividends on the
recently acquired FHLB stock lag the purchase date due to the timing of the FHLB
dividend declaration. The remaining margin compression was due to the combined
impact of accelerated amortization on our mortgage- backed and collateralized
mortgage obligation securities ("CMO"), lower loan yields and the sale of a
higher yielding security in our investment portfolio, resulting in lower overall
yields on investment securities.

     The provision for loan losses was $730,000 for the second quarter 2003,
compared to $1.6 million in the prior year second quarter and $956,000 in the
first quarter 2003. Net charge-offs totaled $182,000 in the quarter ended June
30, 2003 versus net charge-offs of $490,000 in the prior year quarter and
$70,000 in the first quarter 2003. The allowance as a percentage of total loans
was 1.22 percent as of June 30, 2003 compared to 1.14 percent at June 30, 2002
and 1.22 percent at March 31, 2003.

     Noninterest income was $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2003,
reflecting an increase of approximately $2.4 million or 114 percent from the
second quarter of 2002. The increase in noninterest income was attributable
primarily to net securities gains of $2.3 million, reduced by a trading loss on
an interest rate swap of $1.1 million, the inclusion of Lodestar Investment
Counsel, LLC asset management revenue as well as increases in fee income as a
result of increases in residential mortgage originations. Sales of residential
real estate loans generated $1.0 million of income during the second quarter
2003 compared to $782,000 in the first quarter 2003 and $503,000 during the
prior year quarter as a result of continued strong demand for residential real
estate loans.

     During the second quarter 2003, we recognized a gain of $2.4 million on the
sale of a single $10.0 million corporate bond from our available-for-sale
investment security portfolio. The value of the security increased as a result
of declines in interest rates during the quarter. The proceeds from the sale
have been invested in assets that management believes will be impacted

                                       2



to a lesser degree by rising interest rates. Securities gains and losses for the
second quarter 2003 also include a permanent impairment write-down of $210,000
on the Company's interest-only CMO investments. Continued low levels of market
interest rates during the second quarter 2003 resulted in accelerated mortgage
prepayments, which further impaired the fair value of our interest-only CMO
securities. Our remaining investment in interest-only CMO securities was
approximately $120,000 as of June 30, 2003.

     The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a second quarter
2003 trading loss of approximately $1.1 million recorded to reflect the fair
market value adjustment on an interest rate swap. This interest rate swap was
entered into during the third quarter of 2002 in order to hedge a portion of the
Company's investment in long-term municipal bonds. The change in the fair market
value of the swap is recognized in earnings and results in a loss because of
continued declines in market rates of interest since the end of the first
quarter 2003.

     Wealth management assets under management were $1.3 billion at June 30,
2003 compared to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2003 and $733.9 million at June 30,
2002. Lodestar revenue was $756,000 during the second quarter 2003. Trust fee
revenue was $824,000 during the second quarter 2003, an increase of $65,000 from
the first quarter 2003 and an increase of $47,000 from the prior year second
quarter. Increases in Wealth Management asset management revenue reflect the
impact of net new business generated during the quarter augmented by a modest
rebound in the equity markets.

     Noninterest expense increased to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2003
from $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2002 and up 4 percent as compared to
$9.4 million in the first quarter 2003. The 37 percent increase in noninterest
expense on a year over year basis is attributable primarily to increased costs
associated with continued growth of the Company and the operations of Lodestar.
As previously reported, in April 2003, The PrivateBank (Chicago) suffered a loss
of $400,000 in a check fraud scheme involving a new account deposit. On June 27,
2003, the Company received a letter from its insurance carrier declining
coverage for the loss. As a result, the Company recorded a second quarter 2003
charge of $400,000. The Company is continuing to pursue recovery of the fraud
loss in excess of the $150,000 deductible from its insurance carrier. Our
full-time equivalent employees increased to 194 at June 30, 2003 from 181 a year
ago and remain unchanged from the first quarter 2003. Our efficiency ratio of
55.0 percent in the second quarter of 2003 remained relatively unchanged from
55.4 percent in the prior year quarter and is down from 58.5 percent in the
first quarter 2003.

                                       3



     Deposits grew by 6 percent during the quarter to $1.446 billion, compared
to total deposits of $1.365 billion as of March 31, 2003. Deposits as of June
30, 2003 increased by 20 percent from $1.205 billion at December 31, 2002.

     Loans as of June 30, 2003 increased by 5 percent, or $49.0 million, to
$1.067 billion as compared to loans of $1.018 billion at March 31, 2003. Loans
increased by 11 percent at June 30, 2003 as compared to $965.6 million at
December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, nonperforming loans as a percentage of
total loans were 0.26 percent, versus 0.35 percent at March 31, 2003 and 0.14
percent at December 31, 2002. At June 30, 2003, nonaccrual loans as a percentage
of total loans were 0.08 percent, versus 0.15 percent at March 31, 2003 and 0.08
percent at December 31, 2002.

NOTE 1: All previously reported share and per share data has been restated to
        reflect the 3-for-2 stock split which occurred on January 17, 2003.

(1)   Non-interest expense less non-interest income divided by average total
      assets.

(2)   Non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income, on a
      tax equivalent basis, plus non-interest income.

(3)   Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, divided by average
      interest-earning assets.

(4)   Yield on average interest-earning assets less rate on average
      interest-bearing liabilities.

(5)   The company adjusts GAAP reported net interest income by the tax
      equivalent adjustment amount to account for the tax attributes on
      federally tax exempt municipal securities. For GAAP purposes, tax
      benefits associated with federally tax exempt municipal securities are
      recorded as a benefit in income tax expense. The following table
      reconciles reported net interest income to net interest income on a tax
      equivalent basis for the periods presented:
