FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.38
            Earnings per share up 23 percent over second quarter 2004

         Chicago, IL, July 18, 2005--- PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB) today
reported earnings of $0.38 per diluted share for the second quarter 2005
compared to second quarter 2004 earnings per diluted share of $0.31, reflecting
an increase of 23 percent. Net income for the second quarter 2005 was $7.9
million compared to second quarter 2004 net income of $6.5 million. Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $15.7 million, or $0.75 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $12.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, reflecting a 25 percent increase in diluted
earnings per share between periods. Financial results for the three-month and
six-month period ended June 30, 2005 include the financial results of The
PrivateBank - Michigan since it was acquired on June 20, 2005.

         "PrivateBancorp experienced a solid second quarter in terms of growth
and profitability. We announced and completed our entry into the Detroit market
through the The PrivateBank - Michigan acquisition. Our new Milwaukee office,
which is in temporary space, and our Gold Coast office completed their first
full quarter of operations and are winning new clients and exhibiting strong
momentum. Geographic expansion, coupled with ongoing investments in highly
experienced managing directors, are key factors driving the Company's growth,"
said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO.



         "While investing for tomorrow, we remain focused on executing our
business strategy. Our unique approach to private banking continues to drive
balance sheet growth and strong financial performance. Excluding the acquisition
of The PrivateBank - Michigan, loans outstanding increased by 8 percent during
the quarter and core deposits increased by 6 percent. Credit quality remains
strong and the underlying trends continue to be positive," Mandell said.

         On June 20, 2005 PrivateBancorp, Inc. announced completion of its
acquisition of Bloomfield Hills Bancorp. Inc., the holding company of a single
bank subsidiary now referred to as The PrivateBank - Michigan with assets of
$342.8 million at closing. The PrivateBank - Michigan has three banking offices
located in the affluent Detroit area communities of Bloomfield Hills, Grosse
Pointe and Rochester as well as a trust and wealth management unit and a
mortgage-banking subsidiary. The $64.0 million cash acquisition is expected to
be accretive to the Company's 2005 diluted earnings per share. The transaction
was primarily funded with the issuance of $50.0 million in fixed and floating
rate trust preferred securities through PrivateBancorp Statutory Trust II, a
newly created business trust subsidiary. The Company recorded $42.4 million in
goodwill and $3.7 million in client intangibles in connection with the closing.

         For the second quarter 2005, net interest income of the Company totaled
$21.8 million compared to second quarter 2004 net interest income of $17.3
million, primarily due to growth in earning assets compared to the year earlier
period. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.53 percent in the
second quarter 2005, up slightly from 3.51 percent in the prior year second
quarter and down from 3.57 percent in the first quarter 2005. During the second
quarter 2005, total cost of funds increased by 31 basis points from first
quarter 2005, as a result of increases in money market deposit rates, the
repricing of wholesale funding and to a lesser extent, the impact of the
issuance of $50.0 million of trust preferred securities on June 20, 2005 in
connection with The PrivateBank - Michigan acquisition. Yield on average
interest earning assets increased by 23 basis points during the quarter due
primarily to increases in the prime rate. Approximately 70

                                       2


percent of the loan portfolio is indexed to the prime rate of interest or
otherwise adjusts with other short-term interest rates.

         Investment securities were $769.2 million at June 30, 2005, relatively
unchanged from March 31, 2005 levels and up 6 percent from $722.6 million at
June 30, 2004. Investment securities of The PrivateBank - Michigan were $5.1
million at June 30, 2005. During the second quarter 2005, the annualized yield
on the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB Chicago") stock dividend was
unchanged at 5.5 percent. On July 15, 2005, the Company redeemed $10.0 million
of its FHLB Chicago stock, reducing this investment to $157.0 million.

         The provision for loan losses was $1.9 million in the second quarter
2005, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year second quarter and $0.9 million
in the first quarter 2005. The increase in the provision for loan losses
reflects the impact of continued strong loan growth and an increase in net
charge-offs during the quarter. Net charge-offs totaled $310,000 in the second
quarter 2005 versus net recoveries of $51,000 in the prior year quarter and net
recoveries of $60,000 in the first quarter 2005. The allowance for loan losses
as a percentage of total loans was 1.15 percent as of June 30, 2005, unchanged
from March 31, 2005 and down from 1.23 percent at June 30, 2004. At June 30,
2005, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.17 percent, up
from 0.16 percent at March 31, 2005 and up from 0.06 percent at June 30, 2004.

         The growth in non-interest income during the second quarter 2005 as
compared to the prior year second quarter was primarily driven by growth in
wealth management income, mortgage banking income and bank-owned life insurance
("BOLI") income. Wealth management fee income increased to $2.5 million for the
second quarter 2005, up from $2.1 million in the second quarter 2004 and up from
$2.3 million in the first quarter 2005. Wealth management assets under
management increased 25 percent to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2005 compared to
$1.6 billion at June 30, 2004 and $1.7 billion at March 31, 2005, reflecting the
addition of $210.0 million of assets under management as a result of The
PrivateBank - Michigan acquisition. Excluding the acquisition, wealth management

                                       3


assets under management at June 30, 2005 were even with first quarter 2005
levels. Mortgage banking income grew 38 percent to $1.1 million for the second
quarter 2005 compared to $0.8 million for the second quarter 2004 and $0.7
million during the first quarter 2005. Income from BOLI increased to $317,000
from $125,000 in the second quarter 2004 and was down from $326,000 in the first
quarter 2005. The increase in BOLI revenue as compared to the prior year quarter
results from an additional $22.0 million BOLI investment made in the third
quarter 2004.

         For the second quarter 2005, a $972,000 loss from an interest rate swap
combined with security gains of $1.045 million, resulted in a $73,000 net gain,
compared to a net gain of $159,000 in the second quarter 2004 and $374,000 in
the first quarter 2005.

         Non-interest expense increased to $12.9 million in the second quarter
2005 from $11.2 million in the prior year quarter and $12.6 million in first
quarter 2005. The 15 percent increase in non-interest expense as compared to the
second quarter 2004 is primarily attributable to increases in personnel,
occupancy and data processing costs. The increase in non-interest expense on a
quarter-linked basis of $316,000 is due primarily to the addition of The
PrivateBank - Michigan since closing of the acquisition. The Company continues
to add experienced managing directors to support growth. Full-time equivalent
employees at quarter's end increased to 362 from 252 at June 30, 2004 and from
278 at March 31, 2005. The acquisition of The PrivateBank - Michigan added 73
full-time equivalent employees, including 18 managing directors. At June 30,
2005, the Company had 105 managing directors compared to 71 at June 30, 2004 and
84 managing directors at March 31, 2005. However, as a result of the growth
achieved, the efficiency ratio was 47 percent in the second quarter 2005
compared to 51 percent in the prior year quarter and 48 percent in the first
quarter 2005.

         Total assets were $3.2 billion at June 30, 2005 compared to $2.2
billion at June 30, 2004, an increase of 46 percent. Excluding The PrivateBank -
Michigan total assets of $418.6 million, the Company had assets of $2.8 billion
at June 30, 2005 compared to $2.6 billion in assets at March 31, 2005, an
increase of 7 percent. At June 30, 2005, total

                                       4


loans were $2.2 billion, versus $1.4 billion at June 30, 2004 and $1.7 billion
at March 31, 2005. The PrivateBank - Michigan had $315.8 million in total loans
at June 30, 2005.

         Total deposits were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2005, up from $1.7 billion
at June 30, 2004 and up from $2.0 billion at March 31, 2005. Excluding the
$301.3 million in deposits acquired in The PrivateBank - Michigan acquisition,
deposits increased by 5 percent to $2.1 billion during the second quarter 2005
as compared to total deposits of $2.0 billion at March 31, 2005. Core deposits,
defined as total deposits less brokered deposits, increased 61 percent to $2.0
billion compared to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2004, and increased 25 percent from
$1.6 billion at March 31, 2005. Brokered deposits were $385.7 million at June
30, 2005, a decrease of 7 percent, or $28.1 million, from $413.8 million at June
30, 2004, and relatively unchanged from $387.4 million at March 31, 2005. The
PrivateBank - Michigan did not have any brokered deposits at June 30, 2005.
Brokered deposits as a percentage of total deposits declined to 16 percent as of
June 30, 2005 compared to 25 percent at June 30, 2004 and 19 percent at March
31, 2005. Funds borrowed, which include Federal Home Loan Bank advances,
increased 52 percent to $464.8 million at June 30, 2005 from $306.4 million at
June 30, 2004, and increased 36 percent from $340.7 million at March 31, 2005.
The PrivateBank - Michigan had $39.9 million of funds borrowed at June 30, 2005.

         During the quarter, prior to the closing of the acquisition of The
PrivateBank - Michigan, the Company completed a private placement of $7.6
million of its common stock to investors in that bank's market area, including
certain members of the management team, who purchased $2.9 million of stock.
