FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            PRIVATEBANCORP REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.41

            Earnings per share up 21 percent over third quarter 2004

         Chicago, IL, October 17, 2005---PrivateBancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVTB)
today reported earnings of $0.41 per diluted share for the third quarter 2005
compared to third quarter 2004 earnings per diluted share of $0.34, reflecting
an increase of 21 percent. Net income for the third quarter 2005 was $8.9
million compared to third quarter 2004 net income of $7.1 million. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, net income was $24.6 million, or $1.17 per
diluted share, compared to net income of $19.5 million, or $0.94 per diluted
share for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, reflecting a 24 percent
increase in diluted earnings per share between periods. Financial results for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 include full
quarter financial results of The PrivateBank - Michigan, which was acquired on
June 20, 2005.

         "PrivateBancorp continued its trend of generating record earnings based
on solid operating progress during the quarter. We experienced exceptionally
strong loan growth and we remain confident about our credit quality. We are also
pleased that net interest margin remained stable and fee income from wealth
management and mortgage banking increased. Further momentum is being provided by
our recent growth initiatives, including the acquisition of The PrivateBank -
Michigan, and the opening of the new Milwaukee and Chicago Gold Coast offices,"
said Ralph B. Mandell, Chairman, President and CEO.





         "During the third quarter, we announced that The PrivateBank - St.
Louis would be expanding by opening a new office in suburban Chesterfield,
Missouri, which is scheduled to open during the first quarter 2006. Also, our
Oak Brook, Illinois office will be relocating into an expanded facility during
the second quarter 2006, reflecting the opportunity for further growth in both
of these markets," Mandell said.

         For the third quarter 2005, net interest income totaled $26.3 million
compared to third quarter 2004 net interest income of $18.5 million, primarily
due to growth in earning assets compared to the year earlier period. Net
interest income for The PrivateBank - Michigan was $3.8 million for the third
quarter 2005. Net interest margin (on a tax equivalent basis) was 3.53 percent
in the third quarter 2005, down from 3.58 percent in the prior year third
quarter and unchanged from the second quarter 2005. During third quarter 2005,
the yield on average interest earning assets increased by 28 basis points while
total cost of funds increased by 27 basis points from second quarter 2005 due
primarily to increases in the prime rate and other short-term interest rates.

         The provision for loan losses was $2.0 million in the third quarter
2005, compared to $0.9 million in the prior year third quarter and $1.9 million
in the second quarter 2005. The increase in the provision for loan losses
reflects the impact of continued strong loan growth offset by net recoveries of
$686,000 in the third quarter 2005, primarily due to the recovery of a
single-family residential real estate credit. Net charge offs of $404,000 were
recognized in the prior year quarter and net charge offs of $310,000 were
recognized in the second quarter 2005. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans was 1.15 percent as of September 30, 2005, unchanged
from June 30, 2005 and down from 1.21 percent at September 30, 2004. At
September 30, 2005, nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.05
percent, down from 0.15 percent at June 30, 2005 and 0.17 percent at September
30, 2004.

         Non interest income increased to $5.5 million in third quarter 2005
from $4.0 million in third quarter 2004, an increase of 35 percent. The growth
in non interest income during the third quarter 2005 as compared to the prior
year third quarter was driven primarily by growth in

                                       2


wealth management income and mortgage banking income, as well as the net effect
of an interest rate swap gain offset by securities losses. Wealth management fee
income increased to $2.6 million for the third quarter 2005, up from $2.1
million in the third quarter 2004 and up from $2.4 million in the second quarter
2005. The PrivateBank - Michigan wealth management fee income and mortgage
banking income were $333,000 and $265,000 for the third quarter 2005,
respectively. Wealth management assets under management increased 27 percent to
$2.1 billion at September 30, 2005 compared to $1.6 billion at September 30,
2004 and up $77.1 million from $2.0 billion at June 30, 2005. Excluding
Michigan, wealth management assets under management increased by 12 percent year
over year. Mortgage banking income grew 65 percent to $1.3 million for the third
quarter 2005 compared to $0.8 million for the third quarter 2004 and up 19
percent compared to $1.1 million during the second quarter 2005.

         For the third quarter 2005, a $644,000 gain from an interest rate swap
combined with securities losses of $249,000 resulted in $395,000 of other
income, compared to $141,000 in the third quarter 2004 and $73,000 in the second
quarter 2005.

         Non interest expense increased to $16.6 million in the third quarter
2005 from $11.9 million in the prior year quarter and $12.8 million in the
second quarter 2005. The increase in non interest expense as compared to the
third quarter 2004 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of The
PrivateBank - Michigan, which had non interest expense of $2.4 million for the
quarter. Non interest expense excluding the impact of The PrivateBank - Michigan
was $14.2 million for the third quarter 2005, reflecting a 19 percent increase
from the prior year quarter, primarily due to increases in personnel, occupancy
and marketing costs. The second quarter 2005 results included 11 days of The
PrivateBank - Michigan expenses.

         The Company continues to add experienced managing directors to support
continued growth. Full-time equivalent employees at quarter's end increased to
366 from 253 at September 30, 2004 and from 362 at June 30, 2005 reflecting 73
people added in connection with the acquisition of The PrivateBank - Michigan.
At September 30, 2005, the Company had 109 managing directors compared to 72 at
September 30, 2004 and 105 managing directors at June 30, 2005. The efficiency
ratio was 50 percent in the third quarter 2005 compared to 50 percent in the
prior year quarter and 47 percent in the second quarter 2005.

                                       3


         Total assets were $3.3 billion at September 30, 2005, an increase of 42
percent from $2.4 billion at September 30, 2004, and an increase of 4 percent
from $3.2 billion at June 30, 2005. Total assets of The PrivateBank - Michigan
were $430.6 million at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, total loans
were $2.4 billion, versus $1.5 billion at September 30, 2004 and $2.2 billion at
June 30, 2005. Total loans of The PrivateBank - Michigan were $362.4 million at
September 30, 2005.

         Investment securities were $720.1 million at September 30, 2005, down
from $769.2 million at June 30, 2005 and $759.3 million at September 30, 2004.
The decrease in the investment portfolio was due to the combined effect of
run-off of mortgage-related securities and continued redemption of Federal Home
Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB Chicago") stock. During the third quarter 2005, the
Company redeemed $20.0 million of FHLB Chicago stock, reducing the investment to
$147.0 million from $167.0 million at June 30, 2005. Early in the fourth quarter
2005 an additional $10.0 million of FHLB stock was redeemed further reducing the
investment to $137.0 million. During the third quarter 2005, the annualized
yield paid by the FHLB Chicago was reduced to 5.0 percent from 5.5 percent yield
paid during the second quarter 2005.

         Total deposits were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2005, up from $1.8
billion at September 30, 2004 and up from $2.4 billion at June 30, 2005. The
PrivateBank - Michigan contributed deposits of $306.3 million to the
consolidated total at September 30, 2005. Core deposits, defined as total
deposits less brokered deposits, increased 41 percent to $2.0 billion compared
to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2004, and were up $22.0 million, or 1 percent,
from $2.0 billion at June 30, 2005. Brokered deposits were $528.7 million at
September 30, 2005, up 48 percent from $356.4 million at September 30, 2004 and
up $142.9 million, or 37 percent, from $385.7 million at June 30, 2005. Funds
borrowed, which include Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased 39 percent to
$417.7 million at September 30, 2005 from $301.6 million at September 30, 2004,
and decreased 10 percent from $464.8 million at June 30, 2005. At September 30,
2005, the Company had $327.1 million in outstanding FHLB advances.
