                                                                    312-683-7100

              PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

            Earnings per share up 28 percent over first quarter 2004


         Chicago, IL, April 18, 2005--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB)
today reported that earnings per share increased 28 percent to $0.37 per diluted
share for the first quarter 2005 compared to first quarter 2004 earnings per
diluted share of $0.29. Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005
was $7.8 million, an increase of 31 percent over first quarter 2004 net income
of $6.0 million. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the
two-for-one stock split that occurred on May 31, 2004.

         "Our continued earnings growth reflects strong financial performance
throughout the Company as well as the expansion of our unique brand of private
banking into select Midwestern metropolitan markets," said Ralph B. Mandell,
Chairman, President and CEO. "Increases in our asset base have led to net
interest income growth, despite some anticipated compression in net interest
margin. Core deposits were up 35 percent over the prior year's quarter. Our
overall credit quality remains strong and the underlying trends continue to be
positive. St. Louis experienced strong loan growth, the Gold Coast branch was
opened during the quarter in our core Chicago market, and The PrivateBank -
Wisconsin is now open in temporary space as we complete the renovation of our
permanent space, which we expect will be completed in the third quarter 2005."

         "We are very excited about our recently announced entry into Michigan's
affluent Bloomfield Hills, Rochester and Grosse Pointe markets through the
planned acquisition



of Bloomfield Hills Bancorp. Inc., and its banking subsidiary, The Private
Bank," added Mandell. "Their business model, strong management team and
client-centered culture are a perfect fit to our private banking approach, and
the acquisition furthers our selective growth strategy."

         Net interest income totaled $19.7 million in the first quarter 2005, an
increase of 22 percent over first quarter 2004 net interest income of $16.2
million. Growth in average earning assets offset a lower net interest margin
compared to the year earlier period. Average earning assets during the period
were $2.4 billion, compared to $1.9 billion in the prior year quarter, an
increase of 26 percent. Compared to the fourth quarter 2004, average earning
assets increased by $131.9 million, or 6 percent compared to $2.3 billion at
December 31, 2004. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.57
percent in the first quarter 2005, down from 3.80 percent in the prior year's
first quarter and down from 3.63 percent in fourth quarter 2004. During the
first quarter 2005, total cost of funds increased by 32 basis points from fourth
quarter 2004. The increase in cost of funds during the quarter resulted from
extending the duration of wholesale funding and increases in money market
deposit rates, some of which are tied to the prime rate of interest. Yield on
interest earning assets increased by 23 basis points during the quarter, due
primarily to the increases in the prime rate. Approximately 70 percent of the
loan portfolio is indexed to the prime rate of interest or otherwise adjusts
with other short-term interest rates. During the first quarter 2005, the yield
on the stock dividend we received from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
("FHLB Chicago") was reduced from 6.0 percent to 5.5 percent, which negatively
impacted net interest margin by approximately 4 basis points. Due to continued
strong loan growth and to take advantage of opportunities in other earning
assets, on April 14, 2005, the Company redeemed $20.0 million of its FHLB
Chicago stock, reducing this investment to $167.0 million.

         The provision for loan losses was $902,000 for the first quarter 2005,
compared to $1.3 million in the prior year first quarter and $1.5 million in the
fourth quarter 2004. Net recoveries totaled $60,000 in the quarter ended March
31, 2005 versus $103,000 in the prior year quarter and net charge-offs of
$263,000 in fourth quarter 2004. The

                                       2


allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.15 percent as of
March 31, 2005 compared to 1.23 percent at March 31, 2004 and unchanged from
1.15 percent at December 31, 2004. Management believes overall credit quality
remains strong.

         Non-interest income was $4.3 million in the first quarter 2005,
reflecting an increase of approximately $1.4 million or 48 percent from the
first quarter 2004. For the first quarter 2005, a $479,000 gain from an interest
rate swap combined with security losses of $105,000, resulted in a $374,000 net
gain. For the first quarter 2004, a $1.1 million loss from the interest rate
swap combined with $998,000 of securities gains resulted in a $68,000 net loss.

         Wealth management fee income was $2.3 million during the quarter as
compared to $2.0 million in the prior year quarter and $2.1 million in the
fourth quarter 2004. Wealth management assets under management increased 10
percent to $1.74 billion at March 31, 2005 compared to $1.58 billion at March
31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, wealth management assets under management
totaled $1.73 billion. Residential mortgage fee income was $742,000 for the
first quarter 2005 compared to $464,000 in the first quarter 2004 and down from
$834,000 in the fourth quarter 2004. Income from Bank owned life insurance
("BOLI") increased to $326,000 from $124,000 in the first quarter 2004 and up
from $275,000 in the fourth quarter 2004. The increase in BOLI revenue results
from an additional $22.0 million of BOLI insurance, purchased in the second
quarter 2004.

         Non-interest expense increased to $12.6 million in the first quarter
2005 from $10.5 million in the first quarter 2004. The 19 percent increase in
non-interest expense between periods is attributable to increases in costs
associated with the Company's growth. The Company has continued to add
qualified, experienced managing directors to its team to ensure the continued
growth of the organization. The number of Managing Directors increased to 84 as
of March 31, 2005 from 64 at March 31, 2004, and full-time equivalent employees
increased to 278 at the end of the first quarter 2005, from 226 at the prior
period end. The efficiency ratio improved to 48.3 percent in the first quarter

                                        3


2005 from 49.1 percent in the prior year's first quarter, and remained unchanged
from the fourth quarter 2004.

         Loans outstanding increased to $1.73 billion at March 31, 2005,
reflecting growth of 29 percent over the $1.34 billion in loans outstanding at
March 31, 2004. Loans outstanding as of March 31, 2005 increased by 5 percent
from December 31, 2004 loans outstanding of $1.65 billion. At March 31, 2005,
nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.16 percent, versus
0.15 percent at December 31, 2004 and 0.06 percent at March 31, 2004. At March
31, 2005, nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.08 percent,
versus 0.07 percent at December 31, 2004 and 0.01 percent at March 31, 2004.

         Deposits increased by 23 percent to $2.0 billion at March 31, 2005 as
compared to total deposits of $1.6 billion at March 31, 2004. Core deposits,
defined as total deposits less brokered deposits, increased 35 percent to $1.6
billion compared to $1.2 billion at March 31, 2004, and increased 11 percent
from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2004. Brokered deposits were $387.4 million at
March 31, 2005, a decrease of 9 percent, or $38.7 million, from $426.0 million
at March 31, 2004, and a decrease of 8 percent, or $35.8 million, from $423.1
million at December 31, 2004. Brokered deposits as a percentage of total
deposits declined to 19 percent as of March 31, 2005 compared to 26 percent at
March 31, 2004 and 23 percent at the end of 2004. Funds borrowed, which include
Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased 15 percent to $340.7 million at March
31, 2005 from $297.5 million at March 31, 2004, and decreased from $414.5
million at December 31, 2004.
