NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of PrivateBancorp, Inc. (“PrivateBancorp” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we have considered the impact of events occurring subsequent to September 30, 2010 for potential recognition or disclosure in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - On January 1, 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) related to the transfer of financial assets. This guidance removes the exception for qualifying special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain guaranteed mortgage securitizations when a transferor had not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. The new guidance also establishes conditions for accounting and reporting of a transfer of a portion of a financial asset, modifies the asset sale/derecognition criteria, and changes how retained interests are initially measured. The new guidance is expected to provide greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, with the transferred assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity position.

Variable Interest Entities - On January 1, 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB related to variable interest entities. This guidance replaces a quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on identifying which entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits. This guidance requires reconsideration of whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts or circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. It also requires ongoing assessments of whether a variable interest holder is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity position.

Fair Value Measurement - On January 1, 2010, we adopted a new accounting standard issued by the FASB providing additional guidance relating to fair value measurement disclosures. Specifically, companies are required to separately disclose significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for those transfers. Significance should generally be based on earnings and total assets or liabilities, or when changes are recognized in other comprehensive income, based on total equity. Companies may take different approaches in determining when to recognize such transfers, including using the actual date of the event or change in circumstances causing the transfer, or using the beginning or ending of a reporting period. For Level 3 fair value measurements, the new guidance requires presentation of separate information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. Additionally, the FASB also clarified existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements relating to the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. This accounting standard was effective for us beginning January 1, 2010, except for the detailed Level 3 disclosures, which will be effective beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of the applicable provisions of the standard on January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on our financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity position as the standard addresses financial statement disclosures only.

Modification of a Loan Included in a Pool Accounted for as a Single Asset – On July 1, 2010, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB related to modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under accounting standards for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality. This guidance states that a modified loan within a pool of purchased, credit-impaired loans that are accounted for as a single asset should remain in the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. The amended guidance continues to require that an entity consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. No additional disclosures are required as a result of this new guidance and its adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity position.

Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

Disclosures on Loan Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses – On July 21, 2010, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to expanded disclosures for credit quality on financing receivables (such as our loan portfolio) and the allowance for credit losses. This guidance requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s financing receivables portfolio, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period will be required for the Company’s financial statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011. Since the new guidance only affects disclosures, it will not impact our financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity position.

Non-marketable equity securities primarily include Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. Our participating subsidiary banks are required to maintain these equity securities as a member of both the FRB and FHLB, or as successor to former member subsidiary banks which have merged into a non-member subsidiary bank, and in amounts as required by the institutions. These equity securities are “restricted” in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other tradable equity securities. Their fair value is estimated to be cost, and no other-than-temporary impairments have been recorded on these securities during 2010 or 2009.

The carrying value of securities available-for-sale, which were pledged to secure public deposits, trust deposits, FHLB Advances, or for other purposes as permitted or required by law, totaled $802.0 million at September 30, 2010 and $726.8 million at December 31, 2009.

Excluding securities issued or backed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, there were no investments in securities from one issuer that exceeded 10% of consolidated equity at September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the aggregate amount of unrealized losses and the aggregate related fair values of securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The securities presented are grouped according to the time periods during which the securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

There were no securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-backed securities were caused primarily by changes in interest rates with the contractual cash flows of these investments guaranteed by either U.S. Government agencies or by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises.

Since the declines in fair value on these securities are attributable primarily to changes in interest rates, and because we do not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.

Impaired, Nonperforming and Restructured Loans

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans and loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the loan’s observable fair value, fair value of the underlying collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.

If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees and costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized by creating a specific valuation reserve as a component of the allowance for loan losses.

Loans are designated as nonaccrual: (a) when either principal or interest payments are 90 days or more past due based on contractual terms unless the loan is sufficiently collateralized such that full repayment of both principal and interest is expected and is in the process of collection; or (b) when an analysis of a borrower’s creditworthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonaccrual status.

A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties that leads to a restructuring of the loan, and the Company grants concessions to the borrower in the restructuring that it would not otherwise consider. These concessions may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, extension of maturity date and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that is restructured remains on nonaccrual for a period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms. However, the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring or other significant events at the time of the restructuring may be considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status after a shorter performance period or concurrent with the restructuring. In this case, the loan will be reported as a “restructured loan accruing interest”. If the borrower’s performance under the new terms is not reasonably assured, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan.

6. COVERED ASSETS

Covered assets represent purchased loans and foreclosed loan collateral covered under loss sharing agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and includes an indemnification receivable that represents the present value of the expected reimbursement from the FDIC related to expected losses on the acquired loans and foreclosed real estate under such agreements.

In accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance, the purchased loans and related indemnification receivable are recorded at fair value at the date of purchase, and “carrying over” or creating a valuation allowances in the initial accounting for such loans acquired in a transfer is prohibited. At acquisition, we evaluated purchased loans for impairment in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance and our internal policies. Purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered impaired (“purchased impaired loans”). All other purchased loans are considered nonimpaired (“purchased nonimpaired loans”). The carrying amount of the covered assets consisted of purchased impaired loans, purchased nonimpaired loans and other assets, and are presented in the following table:

All purchased loans and related indemnification asset are recorded at fair value at date of purchase. The initial valuation of these loans and related indemnification asset requires management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates about how the acquired loans will perform in the future using valuation methods including discounted cash flow analysis and independent third-party appraisals. Factors that may significantly affect the initial valuation include, among others, market-based and industry data related to expected changes in interest rates, assumptions related to probability and severity of credit losses, estimated timing of credit losses including the foreclosure and liquidation of collateral, expected prepayment rates, required or anticipated loan modifications, unfunded loan commitments, the specific terms and provisions of any loss share agreements, and specific industry and market conditions that may impact independent third-party appraisals.

On an ongoing basis, the accounting for purchased loans and related indemnification assets follows applicable authoritative accounting guidance for purchased non-impaired loans and purchased impaired loans. The amount that we realize on these loans and related indemnification asset could differ materially from the carrying value reflected in these financial statements, based upon the timing and amount of collections on the acquired loans in future periods. Our losses on these assets may be mitigated to the extent covered under the specific terms and provisions of any loss share agreements.

For purchased impaired loans, the excess of cash flows expected at the acquisition date over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the constant effective yield method when there is a reasonable expectation about amount and timing of such cash flows. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for covered asset losses, and a reclassification from accretable yield to nonaccretable differences. Subsequent increases in cash flows result in a recovery of any previously recorded allowance for covered assets, to the extent applicable, and a reclassification of the difference from nonaccretable to accretable with a positive impact on interest income. At September 30, 2010, there was a $7.9 million allowance for covered asset losses related to the purchased impaired loans.

14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

For purchased nonimpaired loans, differences between the purchase price and the unpaid principal balance at the date of acquisition are recorded in interest income over the life of the loan using a constant effective yield method. Decreases in expected cash flows after the purchase date are recognized by recording an additional allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 2010, there was a $4.3 million allowance for covered asset losses related to the purchased nonimpaired loans.

During the first nine months of 2010, we recorded a $1.9 million provision for covered asset losses, representing our 20% non-reimbursable portion under the loss share agreement, resulting in a $12.2 million allowance for covered asset losses at September 30, 2010. There was no allowance for covered assets at September 30, 2009 or provision for covered asset losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Disposals of loans or foreclosed property, which may include sales of such, result in removal of the asset from the covered asset portfolio at its carrying amount.

Changes in the carrying amount and accretable yield for loans that evidenced deterioration at the acquisition date were as follows for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests at least on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Our annual goodwill impairment test will be completed during the fourth quarter 2010. During the third quarter 2010, there were no events or circumstances to indicate there may be impairment of goodwill.

Goodwill decreased by $38,000 during the first nine months of 2010 due to an adjustment for tax benefits associated with the goodwill attributable to Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC (“Lodestar”), an investment management firm and partially-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and federal funds purchased generally mature within 1 to 90 days from the transaction date. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Repurchase agreements are secured by U.S. Treasury, mortgage-backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations and, if required, are held in third party pledge accounts.

Our subsidiary banks had unused overnight fed funds borrowings available for use of $95.0 million at September 30, 2010 and $376.0 million at December 31, 2009. Our total availability of overnight fed fund borrowings is not a committed line of credit and is dependent upon lender availability. At September 30, 2010, we also had $1.6 billion in borrowing capacity with no borrowings outstanding through the Federal Reserve Bank discount window’s primary credit program. Our borrowing capacity changes each quarter subject to available collateral and FRB discount factors.

We have $244.8 million in junior subordinated debentures issued to four separate wholly-owned trusts for the purpose of issuing Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities. Refer to Note 10 for further information on the nature and terms of these and previously-issued debentures.

Long-term advances from the FHLB had weighted-average interest rates of 2.97% at September 30, 2010 and at December 31, 2009. These advances, which had a combination of fixed and floating interest rates, were secured by qualifying residential and multi-family mortgages and state and municipal and mortgage-related securities. At September 30, 2010, the weighted average remaining maturities of FHLB long-term advances was 28 months.

The PrivateBank – Chicago has $120.0 million outstanding under a 7-year subordinated debt facility. The debt facility has a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR plus 3.50%, per annum, payable quarterly and re-prices quarterly. The debt may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without penalty and is subordinate to any future senior indebtedness.

We reclassify long-term debt to short-term borrowings when the remaining maturity becomes less than one year.

10. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES HELD BY TRUSTS THAT ISSUED GUARANTEED CAPITAL DEBT SECURITIES

As of September 30, 2010, we sponsored and wholly owned 100% of the common equity of four trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”) to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities solely in junior subordinated debt securities of the Company (the “Debentures”). The Debentures held by the trusts, which totaled $244.8 million, are the sole assets of each trust. Our obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The guarantee covers the distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the trusts. We have the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part, on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. We used the proceeds from the sales of the Debentures for general corporate purposes.

Under current accounting rules, the trusts qualify as variable interest entities for which we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore ineligible for consolidation. Accordingly, the trusts are not consolidated in our financial statements. The subordinated debentures issued by us to the trust are included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as “long-term debt” with the corresponding interest distributions recorded as interest expense. The common shares issued by the trust are included in other assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

⁽¹⁾ The trust preferred securities accrue distributions at a rate equal to the interest rate and have a maturity identical to that of the related debentures. The trust preferred securities will be redeemed upon maturity of the related debentures.

⁽²⁾ Reflects the coupon rate in effect at September 30, 2010. The coupon rate for the Bloomfield Hills Statutory Trust I is a variable rate and is based on three month LIBOR plus 2.65% with distributions payable quarterly. The coupon rates for the PrivateBancorp Statutory Trusts II and III are fixed for the initial five years from issuance and thereafter at a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.71% for Trust II and three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% for Trust III. The coupon rate for the PrivateBancorp Statutory Trust IV is fixed. Distributions are payable quarterly. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding five years provided no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the debentures. During such extension period, distributions on the trust preferred securities will also be deferred, and our ability to pay dividends on our common stock will be restricted.

⁽³⁾ The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. Subject to restrictions relating to our participation in the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Debentures are redeemable in whole or in part prior to maturity at any time after the dates shown in the table, and earlier at our discretion if certain conditions are met, and, in any event, only after we have obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable guidelines or regulations. The Federal Reserve has the ability to prevent interest payments on Debentures.

12. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the two-class method to determine income applicable to common stockholders. The two-class method requires undistributed earnings for the period, which represents net income less common and participating security dividends (if applicable) declared or paid, to be allocated between the common and participating security stockholders based upon their respective rights to receive dividends. Participating securities include unvested restricted shares/units that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Undistributed net losses are not allocated to unvested restricted shares/units stockholders, as these stockholders do not have a contractual obligation to fund losses incurred by the Company. Income applicable to common stockholders is then divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per common share takes into consideration common stock equivalents issuable pursuant to convertible debentures, warrants, unexercised stock options and unvested shares/units. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share in periods in which the effect would reduce the loss per share or increase the income per share (i.e. antidilutive). Diluted earnings per common share is calculated under the more dilutive of either the treasury method or the two-class method.

⁽¹⁾ Earnings allocated to common stockholders for basic and diluted earnings per share may differ under the two-class method as a result of adding common stock equivalents for options and warrants to dilutive shares outstanding, which alters the ratio used to allocate earnings to common stockholders and participating securities for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

⁽²⁾ Due to the net loss available to common stockholders reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were excluded from the diluted net loss per share computation as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

⁽³⁾ For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, represents potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for which the exercise price for the stock options and warrants and fair value of non-vested restricted stock/units was greater than the average market price of our common stock during the period. Also, convertible debentures are considered antidilutive under the “if-converted” method.

Net deferred tax assets totaled $103.4 million at September 30, 2010 and $108.8 million at December 31, 2009. Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and no valuation allowance is recorded. In assessing whether a deferred tax asset valuation allowance is needed, we considered the negative evidence associated with a cumulative pre-tax loss for financial statement purposes for the trailing three-year period. We also considered the positive evidence associated with taxable income generated in 2009 and year-to-date 2010, and reversing taxable temporary differences in future periods. Most significantly, however, we relied on our ability to generate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences, over a relatively short time period.

In assessing our prospects for generating future pre-tax book income, we considered a number of factors, including: (a) our success in achieving strong operating income (pre-tax, pre-provision) results during 2009 and in the first nine months of 2010; (b) the Company’s return to profitability in the current quarter, (c) the concentration of credit losses in certain segments and vintages of our loan portfolio; and (d) our excess capital position relative to “well capitalized” regulatory standards and other industry benchmarks. These factors support our expectation of higher pre-tax earnings in future periods. We believe this in turn should give rise to taxable income levels (exclusive of reversing temporary differences) that more likely than not would be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets over a short time period.

As of September 30, 2010, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions that would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized in future periods.

14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We are an end-user of certain derivative financial instruments, which we use to manage our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks. We also use these instruments for client accommodation as we make a market in derivatives for our clients.

None of the end-user and client-related derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments. Both end-user and client related derivatives are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities, with changes in their fair value recorded in current earnings. Refer to Table A below for the fair values of our derivative instruments on a gross basis as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and where they are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Table B below for the related net gains/(losses) recognized during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and where they are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, after taking into account the effects of master netting agreements as allowed under authoritative accounting guidance.

Derivatives expose us to credit risk measured as replacement cost (current positive mark to market value plus potential future exposure from positive movements in mark to market). Credit risk is managed through our standard underwriting process. Actual exposures are monitored against various types of credit limits established to manage risk within certain parameters. Additionally, credit risk is managed through the use of collateral and netting agreements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

End-User Derivatives – We enter into derivatives that include commitments to fund certain mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans. It is our practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of fixed rate residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on our commitments to fund the loans as well as on our portfolio of mortgage loans held-for-sale. At September 30, 2010, we had approximately $82.8 million of interest rate lock commitments and $127.1 million of forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans with rate locks at rates consistent with the lock commitment.

We are also exposed at times to foreign exchange risk as a result of issuing loans in which the principal and interest are settled in a currency other than US dollars. Currently our exposure is to the British pound on $4.8 million of loans and we manage this risk by using currency forward derivatives.

Client Related Derivatives – We offer, through our capital markets group, an extensive range of over-the-counter interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives to our clients including but not limited to interest rate swaps, options on interest rate swaps, interest rate options (also referred to as caps, floors, collars, etc.), foreign exchange forwards and options as well as cash products such as foreign exchange spot transactions. These client-generated activities are structured to mitigate our exposure to market risk through the execution of off-setting positions with inter-bank dealer counterparties. This permits the capital markets group to offer customized risk management solutions to our clients. Although transactions originated by capital markets do not expose us to overnight market risk, they do expose us to other risks including counterparty credit, settlement, and operational risk.

To accommodate our loan clients, we occasionally enter into risk participation agreements (RPAs) with counterparty banks to either accept or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to their interest rate derivatives. This allows clients to execute an interest rate derivative with one bank while allowing for distribution of the credit risk between participating members. We have entered into written RPAs in which we accept a portion of the credit risk associated with a loan client’s interest rate derivative in exchange for a fee. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, written RPAs had remaining terms to maturity ranging from less than one year to five years and one to four years, respectively. We manage this credit risk through our loan underwriting process and when appropriate the RPA is backed by collateral provided by our clients under their loan agreement.

The current payment/performance risk of written RPAs is assessed using internal risk ratings, which range from 1 to 8 with the latter representing the highest credit risk. The risk rating is based on several factors including the financial condition of the RPA’s underlying derivative counterparty, present economic conditions, performance trends, leverage, and liquidity. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, written RPAs were assigned a risk rating of between 3 and 7.

The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments that we could be required to make under our written risk participation agreements is approximately $2.5 million and $4.9 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. This assumes that the underlying derivative counterparty defaults and that the floating interest rate index of the underlying derivative remains at zero percent. In the event that we would have to pay out any amounts under our RPAs, we will seek to recover these from assets that our clients pledged as collateral for the derivative and the related loan. We believe that proceeds from the liquidation of the collateral will cover approximately 74% and 61% of the maximum potential amount of future payments under our outstanding RPAs at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the fair value of written RPAs totaled ($30,400) and ($101,100), respectively.

Certain of our derivative contracts contain embedded credit risk contingent features that if triggered either allow the derivative counterparty to terminate the derivative or require additional collateral. These contingent features are triggered if we do not meet specified financial performance indicators such as capital or credit ratios.

The aggregate fair value of all derivatives and RPA transactions subject to credit risk contingency features that are in a net liability position on September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, totaled $85.1 million and $50.2 million, respectively, for which we have posted collateral of $86.2 million and $56.4 million, respectively, in the normal course of business. If the credit risk contingency features were triggered on September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we would be required to post an additional $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of collateral to our derivative counterparties and immediately settle outstanding derivative instruments for $66.7 million and $33.9 million, respectively, not taking into account posted collateral.

15. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Credit Extension Commitments and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our clients and to conduct lending activities. These instruments principally include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and variable interest rates tied to the prime rate or LIBOR and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash-flow requirements.

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Funding of standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the client to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party and are most often issued in favor of a municipality where construction is taking place to ensure the borrower adequately completes the construction. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the client and the third party. This type of letter of credit is issued through a correspondent bank on behalf of a client who is involved in an international business activity such as the importing of goods.

In the event of a client’s nonperformance, our credit loss exposure is equal to the contractual amount of those commitments. We manage this credit risk in a similar manner to evaluating credit risk in extending loans to clients under our credit policies. We use the same credit policies in making credit commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments, mitigating exposure to credit loss through various collateral requirements. In the event of nonperformance by the clients, we have rights to the underlying collateral, which could include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and marketable securities.

The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by us under standby letters of credit arrangements are equal to the contractual amount of the commitment. The unamortized fees associated with standby letters of credit, which are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, totaled $940,000 as of September 30, 2010. We amortize these amounts into income over the commitment period. As of September 30, 2010, standby letters of credit had a remaining weighted-average term of approximately 15 months, with remaining actual lives ranging from less than 1 year to 17 years.

Credit Card Settlement Guarantees

Our third party vendor issues corporate purchase credit cards on behalf of our commercial clients. The corporate purchase credit cards are issued to employees of our commercial clients at the client’s direction and used for payment of business-related expenses. In most circumstances, these cards will be underwritten by our third party vendor. However, in certain circumstances, we may enter into a recourse agreement, which transfers the credit risk from the third party vendor to us in the event that the licensee fails to meet its financial payment obligation. In these circumstances, a total exposure amount is established for our corporate client. The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by us under this third party settlement guarantee would be $1.7 million at September 30, 2010.

We believe that the estimated amounts of maximum potential future payments are not representative of our actual potential loss given our insignificant historical losses from this third party settlement guarantee. As of September 30, 2010, we have not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for this settlement guarantee, and management believes that the probability of any payments under this arrangement is low.

Mortgage Loans Sold with Recourse

Certain mortgage loans sold have limited recourse provisions. The losses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 arising from limited recourse provisions were not material.

Legal Proceedings

As of September 30, 2010, there were certain legal proceedings pending against us and our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. We were not a party to any legal proceedings that we believed would have, individually or in aggregate, a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition or cash flows as of September 30, 2010.

16. FAIR VALUE

We measure, monitor, and disclose certain of our assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis to account for securities available-for-sale, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, other assets, and other liabilities. In addition, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to apply lower-of-cost-or-market accounting to foreclosed real estate and loans held for sale; evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment, including collateral-dependent impaired loans and for disclosure purposes. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, we use various valuation techniques and input assumptions when estimating fair value.

25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

GAAP requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels based on the reliability of the input assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

• Level 2 – Observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of where an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation Methodology

We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Additionally, the methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of the assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Securities available-for-sale includes U.S. Treasury, collateralized mortgage obligations, residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal securities and foreign sovereign debt. Substantially all available-for-sale securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services or dealer market participants where trading in an active market exists. In obtaining such data from external pricing services, we have evaluated the methodologies used to develop the fair values in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in our principal markets. The principal markets for our securities portfolio are the secondary institutional markets, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in those markets. U.S. Treasury securities have been classified in level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Virtually all other remaining securities are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale – Loans held for sale (“LHFS”) represent mortgage loan originations intended to be sold in the secondary market and other loans that management has an active plan to sell. LHFS are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value, which is determined based on a variety of factors, including quoted market rates and our judgment of other relevant market conditions. LHFS are classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans – We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, we record nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurement. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest or principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the original loan agreement are considered impaired. Impaired loans for which repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral requires classification in the fair value hierarchy. We measure the fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans based on the fair value of the collateral securing these loans. Substantially all collateral dependent impaired loans are secured by real estate with the fair value generally determined based upon appraisals performed by a certified or licensed appraiser using inputs such as absorption rates, capitalization rates and comparables. We also consider other factors or recent developments which could result in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals. Accordingly, fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of impaired loans and the related valuation allowance are disclosed in Note 4.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) – OREO is valued based on third-party appraisals of each property and our judgment of other relevant market conditions and is classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Covered Assets-Foreclosed Real Estate – Covered assets-foreclosed real estate is valued based on third-party appraisals of each property and our judgment of other relevant market conditions and is classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities – Client-related derivative instruments with positive fair values are reported as an asset and derivative instruments with negative fair value are reported as liabilities and after taking into account the effects of master netting agreements. The fair value of client-related derivative assets and liabilities are determined based on the fair market value as quoted by broker-dealers using standardized industry models, third party advisors using standardized industry models, or internally-generated models. Many factors affect derivative values, including the level of interest rates, our credit performance, and our assessment of counterparty nonperformance risk. The nonperformance risk assessment is based on our evaluation of credit risk, or if available, on observable external assessments of credit risk. Client-related derivative assets and liabilities are valued based on primarily observable inputs and generally classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 3 derivatives include risk participation agreements and interest rate derivatives, for which nonperformance risk is based on our evaluation of credit risk and the nonperformance risk is significant to the overall fair value of the derivative.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities – Included in other assets and other liabilities are end-user derivative instruments that we use to manage our foreign exchange and interest rate risk. End-user derivative instruments with positive fair value are reported as an asset and end-user derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported as liabilities and after taking into account the effects of master netting agreements. The fair value of end-user derivative assets and liabilities are determined based on the fair market value as quoted by broker-dealers using standardized industry models, third party advisors using standardized industry models, or internally generated models based primarily on observable inputs. End-user derivative assets and liabilities are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

If a change in valuation techniques or input assumptions for an asset or liability occurred between periods, we would consider whether this would result in a transfer between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between level 1 and level 2 of the valuation hierarchy between December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010. In addition, there have been no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs we used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period.

At September 30, 2010, $2.8 million of derivative assets were transferred from level 2 to level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to a lack of observable market data, as there was deterioration in the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Also, at September 30, 2010, $251,000 of derivative assets were transferred from level 3 to level 2 of the valuation hierarchy due to an improvement in the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. We recognize transfers in and transfers out at the end of the reporting period.

There have been no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs we used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

Estimated Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments

GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, on and off-balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the fair value. Because the estimated fair values provided herein exclude disclosure of the fair value of certain other financial instruments and all non-financial instruments, any aggregation of the estimated fair value amounts presented would not represent our underlying value. Examples of non-financial instruments having significant value include the future earnings potential of significant customer relationships and the value of Wealth Management’s operations and other fee-generating businesses. In addition, other significant assets including property, plant, and equipment and goodwill are not considered financial instruments and, therefore, have not been valued.

Various methodologies and assumptions have been utilized in management’s determination of the estimated fair value of our financial instruments, which are detailed below. The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information. Because no market exists for a significant portion of these financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected economic conditions, loss experience, and risk characteristics of the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective, involve uncertainties, and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments.

Short-term financial assets and liabilities – For financial instruments with a shorter-term or with no stated maturity, prevailing market rates, and limited credit risk, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. Those financial instruments include cash and due from banks, funds sold and other short-term investments, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable.

Loans held for sale – The fair value of loans held for sale is based on a variety of factors, including quoted market rates and our judgment of other relevant market conditions.

Securities Available-for-Sale – The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Non-marketable equity investments – Non-marketable equity investments include FHLB stock and other various equity securities. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value as the stock is non-marketable, but redeemable at par value. The carrying value of all other equity investments approximates fair value.

30

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Loans – The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on our and the industry’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

Covered assets – Covered assets include the acquired loans and foreclosed loan collateral (including the fair value of expected reimbursements from the FDIC). The fair value of covered assets is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the asset. The estimate of maturity is based on our and the industry’s historical experience with repayments for each asset classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions.

Investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance – The fair value of our investment in bank owned life insurance is equal to its cash surrender value.

Deposit liabilities – The fair values disclosed for non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, interest-bearing deposits, and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair value for certificate of deposits and brokered deposits were estimated using present value techniques by discounting the future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings – The fair value of repurchase agreements and FHLB advances with the remaining maturities of one year or less is estimated by discounting the agreements based on maturities using the rates currently offered for repurchase agreements or borrowings of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of funds purchased and other borrowed funds approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Long-term debt – The fair value of subordinated debt was determined using available market quotes. The fair value of FHLB advances with remaining maturities greater than one year and other long-term debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments.

Derivative assets and liabilities – The fair value of derivative instruments are based on the fair market value as quoted by broker-dealers using standardized industry models, third party advisors using standardized industry models, or internally generated models.

Commitments – Given the limited interest rate exposure posed by the commitments outstanding at period-end due to their variable nature, combined with the general short-term nature of the commitment periods entered into, termination clauses provided in the agreements, and the market rate of fees charged, we have deemed the fair value of commitments outstanding to be immaterial.

17. OPERATING SEGMENTS

We have three primary operating segments: Banking and Wealth Management, each of which are delineated by the products and services that each segment offers, and the Holding Company. The Banking operating segment includes commercial and personal banking services, which includes the services of The PrivateBank Mortgage Company. Commercial banking services are primarily provided to corporations and other business clients and include a wide array of lending and cash management products. Personal banking services offered to individuals, professionals, and entrepreneurs include direct lending and depository services. The Wealth Management segment includes investment management, investment advisory, personal trust and estate administration, custodial and escrow, retirement account administration, and brokerage services. The activities of the third operating segment, the Holding Company, include the direct and indirect ownership of our banking and nonbanking subsidiaries, the issuance of debt and intersegment eliminations.

The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Company as described in Note 1. Transactions between operating segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated from consolidated results of operations. Financial results for each segment are presented below. For segment reporting purposes, the statement of condition of Wealth Management is included with the Banking segment.

18. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other legal entity that does not have sufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose investors lack one of three characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest. Those characteristics are: (i) the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of an entity if they occur; and (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, if they occur.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

GAAP requires VIEs to be consolidated by the party that has those characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest (i.e., the primary beneficiary). The following summarizes the VIEs in which we have a significant interest and discusses the accounting treatment applied for the consolidation of the VIEs.

As discussed in Note 10, we sponsor and wholly own 100% of the common equity of four trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities to third party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities solely in Debentures issued by the Company. The trusts’ only assets as of September 30, 2010 were the $244.8 million principal balance of the Debentures and the related interest receivable. The trusts meet the definition of a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts and accordingly, the trusts are not consolidated in our financial statements.

We hold certain investments in funds that make investments in accordance with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act. Such investments have a carrying amount of $2.8 million at September 30, 2010 and are included within non-marketable equity investments in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The investments meet the definition of a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as we are a limited investor in those investment funds and do not have the power over their investment activities. Accordingly, we will continue to account for our interest in these investments using the cost method. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount plus additional required future capital contributions of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2010.

19. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION MODIFICATION

In connection with our year-end compensation planning and review process, effective January 28, 2010, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors (“Board”) approved amendments to certain previously-granted performance share awards to modify the vesting provisions to provide for time vesting of the awards rather than performance vesting based on certain stock price appreciation targets established in 2007. The performance shares were awarded in late-2007 and 2008 pursuant to our Strategic Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and 2007 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan in connection with the recruitment or retention of key employees. The amendments do not change the number of shares, the vesting schedule, continued service requirements or any other terms or conditions set forth in the original awards.

The amended awards are intended to provide long-term incentives that continue to drive core operating performance and to position us to create long-term shareholder value, while also creating a meaningful retention benefit. A total of 127 employees’ awards were modified. The incremental cost of this modification was $9.9 million and will be recognized from 2010 through 2012. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $894,000 and $2.4 million, respectively, (before forfeitures) in share-based compensation expense in connection with the modification of these awards.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

PrivateBancorp, Inc. (“PrivateBancorp” or the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware in 1989 for the purpose of becoming a holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Act”). PrivateBancorp, through its bank subsidiary, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (“The PrivateBank – Chicago” or “the Bank”), provides customized business and personal financial services to middle-market commercial and commercial real estate companies as well as business owners, executives, entrepreneurs and families. Effective October 31, 2010, a former bank subsidiary of the Company, The PrivateBank, N.A. (“The PrivateBank – Wisconsin”) was merged with and into The PrivateBank – Chicago.

In November 2007, we hired a team of experienced middle market bankers, and, under the leadership of our current chief executive officer, initiated a strategic plan to transform the organization into a leading middle market commercial bank. Subsequently, we have created scale by adding over 800 new middle market clients, transformed our loan mix, and significantly increased the loan portfolio, growing from total assets of $4.5 billion at September 30, 2007 to $12.6 billion at September 30, 2010.

In the third quarter of 2009, through an FDIC-assisted transaction, we acquired certain assets and liabilities of the former Founders Bank, including $592 million in loans, $767 million in deposits and a market presence in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. While a majority of our business is originated in the Chicago market, we also currently serve seven geographic markets in the Midwest, as well as Denver and Atlanta.

We focus on clients and businesses with $10 million to $2 billion in revenue and seek to be their primary banking relationship by offering a sophisticated suite of tailored credit and non-credit solutions. We understand the importance of introducing clients to a full range of lending, treasury management, investment and capital markets products and wealth management and trust services, to meet their commercial and personal needs. We also originate residential mortgage loans, primarily through our mortgage subsidiary, The PrivateBank Mortgage Company and sell them into the secondary market with servicing released.

To support the growth and capital requirements of the organization, since December 31, 2007, we have raised approximately $560.1 million of voting and nonvoting common stock, $143.8 million of trust preferred securities and $243.8 million of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (“TARP CPP”).

The discussion presented below provides an analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods described. When we use the terms “PrivateBancorp,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” we mean PrivateBancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we use the term the “the Bank,” we are referring to our wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, known under The PrivateBank brand.

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. Unless otherwise stated, all earnings per share data included in this section and throughout the remainder of this discussion are presented on a fully diluted basis.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and expectations regarding future events, such as our anticipated future financial results, credit quality, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, and the impact of business plans and strategies or legislative or regulatory actions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” or “continue” and other comparable terminology.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of future plans, strategies or events is inherently uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unforeseen credit quality problems or further deterioration in asset quality that could result in charge-offs greater than we have anticipated in our allowance for loan losses; the occurrence of unexpected events that adversely impact one or more large credits; further declines in commercial real estate values in our market areas; slower than anticipated economic

35

recovery or further deterioration in economic conditions; unanticipated withdrawals of significant client deposits; unavailability in the future of cost-effective sources of liquidity or funding; difficulty in raising capital on acceptable terms when necessary or required; loss of key personnel or an inability to recruit or attract replacement or new personnel; potential for significant charges if our deferred tax or goodwill assets suffer impairment; unanticipated changes in interest rates or significant tightening of credit spreads; competitive pricing pressures; uncertainty regarding implications of the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules and regulations to be adopted in connection with implementation of the legislation and our ability to maintain regulatory capital at appropriate levels; other legislative, regulatory or accounting changes affecting financial services companies and/or the products and services offered by financial services; greater than expected costs associated with litigation; or failures or disruptions to our data processing or other information systems.

These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, and could be affected by many factors including those set forth in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” sections of this Form 10-Q and our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we assume no obligation to update publicly any of these statements in light of future events unless required under the federal securities laws.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and our accounting policies are consistent with predominant practices in the financial services industry. Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management to make the most significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments based on information available at the date of the financial statements that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Our most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other consolidated financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that our accounting policies with respect to the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and intangible assets, and income taxes are the accounting areas requiring subjective or complex judgments that are most important to our financial position and results of operations, and, as such, are considered to be critical accounting policies, as discussed below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is assessed quarterly and represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date based on a review of available and relevant information. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships that are considered to be impaired (“the asset-specific component”), as well as probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio that are not specifically identified, which is determined using a formula based approach and management’s judgment regarding such factors and events management deems appropriate to adjust the model-derived results(“the general allocated component”).

The asset-specific component relates to impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans and loans classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the loan’s observable fair value, fair value of the underlying collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by creating a specific valuation reserve as a component of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans exceeding a fixed dollar amount are evaluated individually, while smaller loans are evaluated as pools using historical loss experience for the respective class of asset and product type.

At the time a collateral-dependent loan is initially determined to be impaired, we review the existing collateral appraisal. If the most recent appraisal is greater than a year old, a new appraisal is obtained on the underlying collateral. Appraisals on impaired collateral dependent loans are reviewed as received and again at each succeeding six month interval. If during the course of the six-month review period there is evidence supporting a meaningful decline in the value of collateral, a new appraisal is required to support the value of the impaired loan.

36

The general allocated component of the allowance for loan losses is determined using a methodology that is a function of quantitative and qualitative factors applied to segments of our loan portfolio. Numerous factors can affect estimates of loss, including loss frequency, loss severity, risk rating migration, year of loan origination, product types, and originating line of business. Loans that were underwritten and closed by the lines of business that were formed as a result of the “strategic growth initiative”, begun in fourth quarter 2007, are considered “transformational” loans and loans underwritten and closed by the lines of business that were in place prior to the strategic growth initiative are considered “legacy” loans. All loans originated after September 2009, regardless of line of business, are considered transformational loans. The methodology produces an estimated range of potential loss exposure for the product types within our transformational and legacy loan portfolios. We consider the appropriate place within or outside these model ranges based on a variety of internal and external quantitative and qualitative factors to reflect data or timeframes not captured by the model that includes market and economic data and management judgment. We also assess the general allocated component estimate in total and consider whether, based on management’s judgment, any upwards or downwards adjustment is appropriate based on general and industry specific economic data and indicators.

We adjust the allowance for loan losses by recording a provision for loan losses in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at the level determined appropriate.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired using the purchase method of accounting. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability.

Goodwill is allocated to business segments at acquisition. Fair values of reporting units are determined using either market-based valuation multiples for comparable businesses if available, or discounted cash flow analyses based on internal financial forecasts. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its net book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired.

Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill may be impaired, a noncash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded in earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible or regulatory capital.

The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. In “step one,” the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the recorded book value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and “step two” is not considered necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment test continues (“step two”) by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is computed by adjusting all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to current fair value with the offset adjustment to goodwill. The adjusted goodwill balance is the implied fair value of the goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying fair value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.

Goodwill impairment testing is considered a “critical accounting estimate” as estimates and assumptions are made about future performance and cash flows, as well as other prevailing market factors. For our annual impairment testing, we engage an independent valuation firm to assist in the computation of the fair value estimates of each reporting unit as part of its impairment assessment. In connection with obtaining an independent third party valuation, management provides certain information and assumptions that is utilized in the implied fair value calculation. Assumptions critical to the process include discount rates, asset and liability growth rates, and other income and expense estimates. We provide the best information available at the time to estimate future performance for each reporting unit; however, future adjustments to these projections may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions utilized in making these assumptions.

Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that life in a manner that reflects the estimated decline in the economic value of the identified intangible asset and are subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. All of the other intangible assets have finite lives which are amortized over varying periods not exceeding 15 years and include core deposit premiums that use an accelerated method of amortization and client relationship intangibles and assembled workforce which are amortized on a straight line basis.

37

Income Taxes

The determination of income tax expense or benefit, and the amounts of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on complex analyses, estimates and judgments relating to many factors, including interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, current financial accounting standards, the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), assessments of the likelihood that the reversals of deferred deductible temporary differences will yield tax benefits and estimates of reserves required for tax uncertainties.

We are subject to the federal income tax laws of the United States and the tax laws of the states and other jurisdictions where we conduct business. We periodically undergo examination by various governmental taxing authorities. Such authorities may require that changes in the amount of tax expense be recognized when their interpretations of tax law differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions, new interpretations of existing law or positions by federal or state taxing authorities, will not result in tax liability amounts that differ from our current assessment of such amounts, the impact of which could be significant to future results.

Temporary differences may give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods based on weighing both positive and negative evidence and establish a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets for which recovery is unlikely, based on a standard of “more likely than not.” In making this assessment, we must make judgments and estimates regarding the ability to realize these assets through: (a) the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, (b) future taxable income, (c) the possible application of future tax planning strategies, and (d) carryback to taxable income in prior years. We have not established a valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax assets at September 30, 2010. However, there is no guarantee that the tax benefits associated with these deferred tax assets will be fully realized.

In the preparation of income tax returns, tax positions are taken based on interpretation of federal and state income tax laws for which the outcome of such positions may not be certain. We periodically review and evaluate the status of uncertain tax positions and may establish tax reserves for tax benefits that may not be realized. The amount of any such reserves are based on the standards for determining such reserves as set forth in current accounting guidance and our estimates of amounts that may ultimately be due or owed (including interest). These estimates may change from time to time based on our evaluation of developments subsequent to the filing of the income tax return, such as tax authority audits, court decisions or other tax law interpretations. There can be no assurance that any tax reserves will be sufficient to cover tax liabilities that may ultimately be determined to be owed.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This report contains both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance, business, and performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the banking industry. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconcilement to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in Table 26. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $8.0 million, up from $2.7 million for the second quarter 2010. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we reported net income available to common stockholders of $4.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, an improvement from net losses of $0.68 per diluted share for the third quarter 2009 and $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter 2010.

Operating profit for the quarter increased 14% on a sequential quarter basis and 24% from the same period a year ago primarily due to a reduction in credit costs and salary and benefits expense and reduced cost of funds. Non-provision credit expense and collection costs decreased $4.8 million and salaries and employee benefits were down $3.1 million quarter-over-quarter, driving the decrease in operating costs and positively impacting the efficiency ratio. Net revenue was relatively flat on a sequential quarter basis, despite a $7.6 million decline in accretion from covered assets, and was up 22% from the third quarter 2009, driven by higher net interest income and growth in fee revenue. Treasury management, up 3% from second quarter 2010 and 44% from third quarter 2009, continues to drive fee income. Revenue from our mortgage business increased $1.0 million from second quarter 2010, as clients took advantage of historically low rates in the market.

Net interest income in the third quarter was up 13% from the third quarter 2009, and declined 4% from the second quarter 2010. Compared to the second quarter of 2010, net interest income reflects the impact of downward deposit repricing and change in asset mix, which were offset by a reduction in accretion from covered assets. The $7.6 million reduction in accretion for the third quarter 2010 from second quarter 2010 reflects changes in pre-payment speeds and changes in anticipated credit performance in covered loans, net of the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset. Excluding the impact of accretion, net interest margin was 3.28% for the third quarter 2010, compared to 3.13% in the second quarter 2010, driven by deposit repricing opportunities, while loan yield remained relatively constant. There was also a decrease in our short-term investments, which improved the mix of our earning assets.

Provision for loan losses expense decreased 12% in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to moderating credit trends, the stabilization of underlying collateral values, and nonperforming loan inflows in line with second quarter 2010. In the third quarter, net charge-offs were relatively flat compared to the second quarter. Of total net charge-offs, 74% were related to commercial real estate and construction loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.48% at September 30, 2010, compared to 2.63% at the end of the second quarter.

At September 30, 2010, nonperforming assets were up slightly over the second quarter 2010. OREO balances increased as several large accounts moved through the credit management process. Based on pending asset sales, we expect nonperforming assets to moderate in the fourth quarter 2010. However, as we continue to work through the credit cycle, non-performing asset levels may fluctuate due to portfolio management efforts and the timing of dispositions or other remediation actions. We continue to pursue opportunities for loan and OREO sale transactions to resolve problem assets. Despite ongoing workout efforts, our ability to meaningfully reduce nonperforming assets primarily depends on the broader economic recovery and increased commercial real estate activity.

We continue to maintain strong levels of liquidity in line with industry trends. With ongoing focus on developing new clients and deepening existing relationships, and the trend of higher liquidity, we have experienced greater deposit inflows resulting in lower brokered deposits and other wholesale funding throughout the year. Brokered deposits (excluding $828.5 million in client CDARS^® deposits) were 4% of total deposits at the end of the third quarter 2010. As we increased investment securities and funded loan growth, federal funds sold and other short-term investments decreased to $532.6 million in the third quarter 2010, from $769.8 million at the end of the second quarter.

Net loan growth in third quarter 2010 totaled $140.7 million, consisting of $286.0 million increase in commercial and industrial loans offset in part by reductions in commercial real estate and construction loans. Total commercial and industrial loans increased 6% from second quarter 2010. We continued to reduce our real estate exposure, resulting in a $115.8 million, or 4% decline in commercial real estate loans from the second quarter 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $99.0 million in the third quarter 2010, compared to $87.4 million in the third quarter 2009, an increase of 13%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net interest income was $300.6 million, compared to $225.4 million in the prior year period, an increase of 33%. Net interest income equals the difference between interest income plus fees earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income.

Interest rate spread and net interest margin are utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. The net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support earning assets.

The accounting policies underlying the recognition of interest income on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets are included in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For purposes of this discussion, net interest income and any ratios or metrics that include net interest income as a component, such as for example, net interest margin, have been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis to more appropriately compare the returns on certain tax-exempt securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets. The reconciliation of such adjustment is presented in the following table.

Table 2

Tax-equivalent net interest income	$	99,850	$	88,272		13.1	$	303,310	$	228,104		33.0

Tables 3 and 4 below summarize the changes in our average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the average interest rates earned and paid on these assets and liabilities, respectively, for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The tables also detail increases and decreases in income and expense for each of the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and analyze the extent to which such variances are attributable to volume and rate changes. Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%, which includes the tax-equivalent adjustment as presented in Table 2 above.

Net interest margin was 3.31% for the third quarter 2010, an increase of 22 basis points from 3.09% for the third quarter 2009. The net interest margin increase was primarily due to interest-bearing liabilities repricing downward more quickly than interest-earning assets, along with a shift in our funding and asset mix and deposit repricing initiatives. These improvements were offset by a reduction, as anticipated, in accretion from covered assets. The covered asset accretion contributed 3 basis points to the current quarter’s net interest margin compared to 15 basis points for third quarter 2009. The reduction in covered asset accretion reflects changes in pre-payment speeds and changes in anticipated credit performance in covered loans, net of the amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset.

Average interest-earning assets grew approximately 6% from the third quarter 2009 to the third quarter 2010, primarily due to increases in our securities and loan portfolios and a $284.6 million increase in Federal funds sold and other short-term investments. These volume increases resulted in $5.8 million in higher interest income. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 23 basis points to 4.16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to 4.39% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The reduction in yield is attributable to reinvestment of security cash flows into lower-yielding, shorter duration securities, in addition to less accretion recognized on covered assets as discussed above.

Over the past year, we have reduced brokered deposits through success in attracting a higher level of client deposits. Brokered deposits, excluding client CDARS^®, represented 4% of total deposits at September 30, 2010, compared to 7% of total deposits at September 30, 2009. Refer to the section entitled “Deposits” included in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of this Form 10-Q for additional discussion on client deposits.

As shown in Table 3, the third quarter 2010 tax-equivalent interest income remained flat at $125.5 million compared to the third quarter 2009. The higher volume in average interest-earning assets increased interest income by $3.5 million and a decline in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets decreased interest income by $3.5 million.

The third quarter 2010 interest expense declined by $11.6 million, of which $8.2 million was attributable to an overall decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, due to higher-yielding term deposits shifting to lower-yielding money market accounts and deposit repricing initiatives. Also, a reduction in the volume of short-term borrowings and long-term debt decreased interest expense by $4.3 million. Net interest income increased year-over-year despite the negative effect on our net interest margin of the significant increase in non-accrual loans. Interest foregone on non-accrual loans was estimated to be approximately $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to the estimated $2.9 million for the same period in 2009.

As shown in Table 4, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net interest margin was 3.37%, an increase of 44 basis points from 2.93% for the prior year period. Tax-equivalent interest income increased to $387.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $348.6 million in the prior period. The increase in interest-earning assets increased interest income by $48.0 million, while a decline in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets reduced interest income by $8.8 million. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 30% to $84.5 million, compared to $120.5 million in the prior period. Increases in net interest margin and interest income for the current year includes the benefit of a full nine months of higher interest earning assets from the third quarter 2009 FDIC acquisition, primarily in the form of covered assets as presented in Table 4 while the prior year to date period includes three months contribution.

Net interest margin has been impacted by higher liquidity on the balance sheet primarily held in low-yielding cash deposits at the Federal Reserve. We anticipate net interest margin is likely to continue to be impacted by the higher liquidity levels. In addition, we do not anticipate meaningful continued benefit of the downward repricing of deposits to net interest margin. A description and analysis of our market risk and interest rate sensitivity profile and management policies is included in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of this Form 10-Q.

⁽¹⁾ For purposes of this table, changes which are not due solely to volume changes or rate changes are allocated to such categories in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.

⁽²⁾ Interest income includes $18.4 million and $16.3 million in loan fees for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. See Table 2 for a reconciliation of the effect of the tax-equivalent adjustment.

⁽⁴⁾ Average loans on a nonaccrual basis for the recognition of interest income totaled $400.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $269.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and are included in loans for purposes of this analysis. Interest foregone on impaired loans is estimated to be approximately $4.2 million and $2.9 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is based on the average loan portfolio yield for the respective period.

⁽⁵⁾ Covered interest-earning assets consist of loans acquired through an FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and the related indemnification asset. See Table 20 for detail discussion of covered assets.

⁽¹⁾ For purposes of this table, changes which are not due solely to volume changes or rate changes are allocated to such categories in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.

⁽²⁾ Interest income includes $54.9 million and $48.9 million in loan fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

⁽³⁾ Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. See Table 2 for a reconciliation of the effect of the tax-equivalent adjustment.

⁽⁴⁾ Average loans on a nonaccrual basis for the recognition of interest income totaled $411.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and $246.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and are included in loans for purposes of this analysis. Interest foregone is estimated to be approximately $13.4 million and $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is based on the average loan portfolio yield for the respective period.

45

⁽⁵⁾ Covered interest-earning assets consist of loans acquired through an FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and the related indemnification asset. See Table 20 for detail discussion of covered assets.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses totaled $40.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to $90.0 million for the same period in 2009. The provision for loan losses is a function of our allowance for loan loss methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The provision for loan losses was $157.5 million and $129.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net charge-offs were $49.1 million in the third quarter 2010 compared to $37.3 million in net charge-offs for the same period in 2009. Net charge-offs were $155.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For further analysis and information on how we determine the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses and analysis of credit quality, see “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Credit Quality Management and Allowance for Loan Losses”.

Provision for covered asset losses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized $1.9 million in provision for covered asset losses related to the loans purchased under the FDIC-assisted transaction loss share agreement reflecting a decline in expected cash flows since the date of acquisition on such loans. The provision for covered asset losses represents change in the value of the 20% non-reimbursable portion of expected losses.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income is derived from a number of sources related to our banking, capital markets, treasury management and wealth management businesses. The following table presents these multiple sources of revenue.

⁽¹⁾ Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) revenue represents the change in cash surrender value (“CSV”) of the policies, net of premiums paid. These policies cover the lives of certain Company officers, when originated, for which the Company is the beneficiary. The change in CSV is attributable to earnings or losses credited to the policies, based on investments made by the insurer. The cash surrender value of BOLI at September 30, 2010 was $49.0 million, compared to $47.2 million at September 30, 2009.

Total non-interest income for the third quarter 2010 was $23.4 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 81%, from $12.9 million in the third quarter 2009. Our total fee revenue for the third quarter 2010 was $20.3 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 54%, from $13.2 million in the third quarter 2009. The third quarter 2010 results included a $3.0 million net securities gain.

Capital markets income increased $3.4 million from the third quarter 2009. The credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) decreased $1.6 million period over period, with a $0.8 million negative CVA in the third quarter 2010 and a $2.4 million negative CVA in the third quarter 2009. The CVA represents the credit component of fair value with regard to both client-based trades and the related matched trades with interbank dealer counterparties. Exclusive of CVA adjustments, year-over-year

46

capital markets income increased to $3.9 million in the current period compared to $2.1 million in the third quarter 2009. The current quarter improvement is attributable to higher revenue from increased volume in foreign exchange transactions as a result of enhanced client interface tools and to a lesser extent to increased client interest rate swap fees on higher transaction volumes compared to the prior year quarter as clients took advantage of historically low fixed interest rates. Interest rate hedging activity is sensitive to the pace of loan growth, the shape of the LIBOR curve, and our clients’ interest rate expectations.

We continue to actively market our treasury management capabilities incorporating a full range of receivables and payables services in addition to online banking and reporting. These products and services include remote capture, liquidity management, and lockbox services, which augments non-interest and interest-bearing deposits. Treasury management income increased $1.3 million, or 44%, from the third quarter 2009. This increase is attributable a broader suite of products and services to new and existing clients and increasing penetration in our clients’ transaction-based activities.

The wealth management fee revenue increased $222,000, or 5%, from the third quarter 2009. Quarterly fee revenue is predominantly based on the market value of wealth management assets under management and administration (“AUMA”) at the beginning of the quarter and changes in AUMA during a quarter have relatively minor impact on revenue for that quarter. Total AUMA increased by $500,000 to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2010, compared to $3.2 billion at June 30, 2009 resulting in a higher basis in the current quarter for which fees were determined. AUMA are assets held in trust where we serve as trustee or in accounts where we make investment decisions on behalf of clients. AUMA also includes non-managed assets we hold in custody for clients or for which we receive fees for advisory or brokerage services. We do not include these assets on our Consolidated Statements of Condition.

Revenue from our mortgage business increased $964,000, or 53%, from the third quarter 2009, reflecting increased refinancing activity during the third quarter 2010 as a result of the low interest rate environment.

Other income, service charges, and fees increased $1.2 million, or 29%, from the third quarter 2009. The increase was primarily due to higher unused commitment fees, letter of credit fees, and syndication fees.

Net securities gains were $3.0 million for the third quarter 2010 compared to a $309,000 net securities loss for the third quarter 2009. During the third quarter 2010, we sold $167.1 million of collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-based securities resulting in the recognition of net securities gains of $3.2 million, which were partially offset by $200,000 in losses on our CRA-related investments.

Year-to-date Non-interest Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, non-interest income was $58.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to $57.2 million in the prior year period.

Capital markets income decreased $7.2 million, or 49%, from the prior year period. Of the $7.2 million decrease, $3.5 million represents changes in the CVA, with a $42,000 positive CVA in the first nine months of 2009 compared to a $3.4 million negative CVA in the first nine months of 2010.

Treasury management income increased $5.5 million from the same period in 2009, as new products and services were rolled out throughout the year to an expanding group of clients.

Wealth management’s fee revenue increased $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from the prior year period and was attributable to increases in AUMA.

Revenue from our mortgage business remained flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior year period reflecting slower activity in the mortgage market during the first half of the year compared to a year ago, offset by improved conditions and results in the third quarter 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, other income, services charges, and fees increased $4.4 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to loan-related revenue such as letter of credit fees and fees for unfunded commitments.

Net securities gains decreased $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the prior year like period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had taken advantage of market conditions to sell $249.0 million of available for sale securities, resulting in a net gain of $7.9 million. In contrast, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold $197.6 million of available for sale securities, resulting in a net gain of $3.8 million.

Included in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was a $985,000 early extinguishment of debt charge, representing the fee associated with paying off the underlying funding related to treasury securities sold in the second quarter 2009.

47

Non-interest Expense

Our revenue growth rate compared to the prior year continued to outpace the growth rate in our non-interest expenses and as a result, our third quarter 2010 efficiency ratio improved to 55.3% for third quarter 2010, compared to 56.2% in the third quarter 2009. Our efficiency ratio in the second quarter 2010 was 61.2%.

⁽¹⁾ Computed as the total of non-interest expense less non-interest income, annualized, divided by average total assets.

⁽²⁾ Computed as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and non-interest income. The efficiency ratio is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. See Table 26, “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation of the effect of the tax-equivalent adjustment.

Non-interest expense increased for the third quarter 2010 by $11.2 million, or 20%, from the third quarter 2009. The increase in non-interest expense period over period was primarily attributable to a significant reversal of incentive compensation expense in the prior year quarter. During the third quarter 2010, increases in aggregate credit costs (consisting of net foreclosed property expense, loan and collection expense and provisions for unfunded commitments), insurance and occupancy costs were largely offset by reductions in marketing, professional services, and other expenses compared to the prior year quarter. We expect aggregate credit costs will remain at elevated levels until nonperforming assets decline meaningfully.

Compensation expense increased $11.2 million, or 48%, from the third quarter 2009. The increase is principally attributable to higher incentive compensation expense as the prior year comparative period includes the impact of a $9.8 million reversal in incentive compensation accruals. Also contributing to the higher compensation expense is annual merit increases and a higher level of full-time equivalent employees. Full-time equivalent employees increased 3% to 1,067 at September 30, 2010, compared to 1,031 at September 30, 2009. Exclusive of incentive compensation, non-interest expense in the third quarter 2010 was flat compared to the third quarter 2009.

Net occupancy expense increased $504,000, or 7%, from the third quarter 2009. The increase in net occupancy expense is primarily due to increased depreciation costs and maintenance contract expense.

48

Professional fees, which include fees paid for legal, accounting, and consulting services, decreased $3.1 million, from the third quarter 2009. The current quarter decrease from the prior year period is primarily due to services provided a year ago in connection with the FDIC-assisted transaction and subsequent integration activities.

Third quarter 2010 insurance costs increased $2.5 million from the third quarter 2009. The increase is principally due to the combined effect of a higher deposit base for which fees are assessed, higher fee rates and the additional 10 basis point assessment paid on covered transaction accounts exceeding the $250,000 under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program component of the Temporary Liquidity Guaranty Program (“TAGP”) which we elected to participate in through December 31, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act extended unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing accounts through 2012, and we expect FDIC insurance fees are likely to increase.

Net foreclosed property expenses, which include write-downs on foreclosed properties, gains and losses on sales of foreclosed properties and other expenses associated with the foreclosure process and maintenance of OREO, increased $621,000, or 25%, from the third quarter 2009. The increase in net foreclosed property expenses is primarily due to the maintenance and administration associated with a higher volume of OREO properties.

Loan and collection expense increased $2.0 million, or 145%, from the third quarter 2009 due to a higher volume of appraisals and legal costs in connection with credit remediation efforts on our nonperforming loans. We anticipate loan and collection costs to remain at an elevated level until nonperforming loans decline meaningfully.

Other expense decreased $1.7 million, or 33%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to $1.6 million in restructuring charges associated with a workforce repositioning initiative that was recorded during the third quarter 2009.

Year-to-date Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $38.6 million, or 22%, from the prior year period. The increase includes approximately $10.6 million, spread through all expense categories, related to the addition of staffing and operating 10 banking offices from the FDIC-assisted acquisition in the third quarter 2009. The remaining increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense, an increase in foreclosed property and loan and collection expenses related to credit deterioration, and an increase in provision for unfunded commitments.

Compensation expense increased $18.7 million, or 20%, from the prior year period and is largely attributable to annual merit increases and a higher level of full-time equivalents. Also, incentive compensation expense was higher in the current year period, as the prior year comparative period includes the impact of a $9.8 million reversal in incentive compensation accruals.

Net occupancy expense increased $3.4 million, or 18%, from the prior year period. The increase in net occupancy expense from the prior year period reflects the additional offices acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction, as well as our increased office space.

Technology and related costs, which include fees paid for information technology services and support, increased $681,000, or 10%, from the prior year period. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to $275,000 in costs associated with the former Founders Bank system conversion during the first quarter 2010.

Professional fees decreased $854,000 from the prior year period due to lower legal fees.

Net foreclosed property expenses increased $4.3 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in net foreclosed property expenses is primarily due to a higher volume of OREO properties coupled with valuation write-downs.

Marketing expense increased $229,000 from the prior year period due to increased advertising and client development in the first nine months of 2010, including corporate sponsorships.

Loan and collection expense increased $5.5 million, or 108%, from the prior year period due to a higher volume of appraisals and legal costs in connection with credit remediation efforts.

Other expense increased $5.6 million, or 55%, from the prior year period primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in the provision for unfunded commitments and higher costs associated with third party service providers.

49

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income tax expense. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, we recorded an income tax provision of $4.8 million on pre-tax income of $12.8 million (37.4% effective tax rate) compared to an income tax benefit of $18.8 million on a pre-tax loss of $46.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 (-40.4% effective tax rate).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, income tax benefits totaled $7.7 million, equal to an effective income tax rate of
-42.9% compared to income tax benefits of $11.0 million, or an effective income tax rate of -42.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The effective income tax rate varies from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% (federal income tax benefit rate of -35% for pre-tax loss periods) principally due to state income taxes, the effects of tax-exempt earnings from municipal securities and bank-owned life insurance, non-deductible compensation and business expenses, and tax credits. For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the effective tax rate was also impacted by changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions (net increase in effective tax rate of 2.7%), including reserves relating to a state tax examination.

In determining that realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not and no valuation allowance is needed at September 30, 2010, we considered negative evidence, including our cumulative pre-tax loss for financial statement purposes for the trailing three-year period, as well as a number of positive factors including taxable income generated in 2009 and year-to-date 2010, reversing taxable temporary differences in future periods and our ability to generate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences, over a relatively short timeframe.

Operating Segments Results

We have three primary business segments: Banking, Wealth Management, and Holding Company Activities. The PrivateBank Mortgage Company results are included in the Banking segment.

Banking

The profitability of our Banking segment is primarily dependent on net interest income, provision for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. The net income for the banking segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $15.1 million, an increase of $33.2 million from net loss of $18.1 million for the prior year period. The increase in net income for the banking segment resulted primarily from a $48.6 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and an $11.4 million increase in net interest income, offset by a $15.1 million increase in non-interest expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income for the banking segment was $12.6 million, an increase of $312,000 from net income of $12.3 million in the prior year period. Total loans for the banking segment were relatively flat at $9.0 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Total deposits for the banking segment increased 6% to $10.7 billion at September 30, 2010 from $10.1 billion at December 31, 2009.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management segment includes investment management, investment advisory, personal trust and estate administration, custodial and escrow, retirement account administration, and brokerage services. Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC (“Lodestar”), an investment management firm and partially-owned subsidiary, is included in our Wealth Management segment. We own a controlling interest in Lodestar and management of Lodestar owns the remaining interest.

Net income attributable to controlling interests for wealth management increased to $502,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $78,000 in the prior year period due to increases in fee revenue and decreases in non-interest expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income attributable to controlling interests for wealth management increased to $1.5 million from $481,000 in the prior year period. Wealth Management AUMA was $4.0 billion at September 30, 2010, which was relatively flat as compared to September 30, 2009. The wealth management fee revenue was $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a 5% increase year-over-year from $4.1 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, wealth management fee revenue was $13.4 million, compared to $11.4 million in the prior year period, which was attributable to larger AUMA over the course of the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.

We engage third-party investment managers, as well as Lodestar, for a number of our wealth management relationships. Fees paid to third party investment managers remained flat at $581,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. For the nine months ended September 30 2010, fees paid to third party investment managers increased by $113,000 as compared to the prior year period.

50

Holding Company Activities

The Holding Company Activities segment consists of parent company only matters and intersegment eliminations. The Holding Company’s most significant assets are its net investments in its bank subsidiary and its mortgage subsidiary. Undistributed earnings relating to these investments are not included in the Holding Company financial results. Holding Company financial results are reflected primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses. Recurring operating expenses consist primarily of share-based compensation and professional fees. The Holding Company Activities segment reported a net loss of $7.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $9.8 million for the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Holding Company segment reported a net loss of $24.5 million, compared to a net loss of $27.6 million in the prior year period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total Assets

Total assets were $12.6 billion at September 30, 2010, an increase of 5% from $12.0 billion at December 31, 2009. Asset growth from December 31, 2009 was primarily due to a $464.0 million increase in securities available-for sale and a $313.7 million increase in fed funds sold and other short-term investments funded primarily by a 9% increase in client deposits. In anticipation of the expiration of TAGP, we strategically increased our balance sheet liquidity to prepare for possible client deposit reductions. While TAGP has been extended and we reduced liquidity levels over the past three months, we expect to maintain elevated levels of liquidity consistent with industry trends.

Investment Portfolio Management

We manage our investment portfolio to maximize the return on invested funds within acceptable risk guidelines, to meet pledging and liquidity requirements, and to adjust balance sheet interest rate sensitivity to attempt to protect net interest income against the impact of changes in interest rates.

We adjust the size and composition of our securities portfolio according to a number of factors, including expected liquidity needs, the current and forecasted interest rate environment, our actual and anticipated balance sheet growth rate, the relative value of various segments of the securities markets, and the broader economic environment. We may continue to reposition the investment portfolio during the fourth quarter 2010 in response to market conditions.

Investments are comprised of debt securities and non-marketable equity investments. Our debt securities portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury and Agency securities and municipal bonds, residential mortgage-backed pools and collateralized mortgage obligations.

All debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and may be sold as part of our asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or significant prepayment risk. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on the securities available-for-sale represent the difference between the aggregated cost and fair value of the portfolio and are reported, on an after-tax basis, as a separate component of equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. This balance sheet component will fluctuate as current market interest rates and conditions change, thereby affecting the aggregate fair value of the portfolio.

Non-marketable equity investments include Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and other various equity securities. At September 30, 2010, our investment in FHLB stock was $22.3 million, compared to $22.8 million at December 31, 2009. Our FHLB stock holdings are necessary to maintain the FHLB advances. Also included in non-marketable equity investments are certain investments in funds that make investments in accordance with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act.

As of September 30, 2010, our securities portfolio totaled $2.1 billion, an increase of 29% from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we added $435.2 million to the available-for-sale investment portfolio, net of payoffs and sales, predominantly in agency collateralized mortgage obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities.

Due to the changes in market conditions during the third quarter 2010, we repositioned a portion of our investment portfolio, selling $108.2 million of collateralized mortgage obligations, $58.9 million of residential mortgage-backed securities, and $820,000 of tax-exempt municipal securities, resulting in a net securities gain of $3.2 million, which was partially offset by $200,000 in losses on our CRA-related investments.

Investments in collateralized mortgage obligations and residential mortgage-backed securities comprise 90% of the available-for-sale securities portfolio at September 30, 2010. All of the mortgage securities are backed by U.S. Government-owned agencies or issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. All mortgage securities are composed of fixed rate, fully amortizing collateral with final maturities of 30 years or less.

Investments in debt instruments of state and local municipalities comprised 9% of the total available-for-sale securities portfolio at September 30, 2010. This type of security has historically experienced very low default rates and provided a predictable cash flow since it generally is not subject to significant prepayment. Insurance companies regularly provide credit enhancement to improve the credit rating and liquidity of a municipal bond issuance. Management considers the credit enhancement and underlying municipality credit rating when evaluating a purchase or sale decision.

At September 30, 2010, our reported equity reflected net unrealized securities gains net of tax of $48.8 million. This represented an increase of $20.9 million from net unrealized securities gains net of tax of $27.9 million at December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the maturities of the different types of investments that we own at September 30, 2010, and the corresponding interest rates that the investments will yield if they are held to their respective maturity date. The amounts are based on amortized cost.

LOAN PORTFOLIO AND CREDIT QUALITY (excluding covered assets)

Portfolio Composition

Our principal source of revenue arises from our lending activities, primarily composed of interest income and, to a lesser extent, loan origination and commitment fees (net of related costs). The accounting policies underlying the recording of loans in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and the recognition and/or deferral of interest income and fees (net of costs) arising from lending activities are included in Note 1 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2009 Form 10-K.

The following discussion of our loan portfolio and credit quality excludes covered assets. Covered assets represent assets acquired through an FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and are presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. For additional discussion of covered assets, refer to Note 6 of “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” and the “Covered Asset” section presented later in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial loans including owner-occupied commercial real estate, real estate (which includes commercial real estate, construction, and residential real estate) and consumer loans, including home equity, residential, and personal loans. Outstanding loans, excluding covered assets, totaled $9.0 billion as of September 30, 2010, a decrease of 1% from December 31, 2009, with new loans and advances on existing facilities offset by paydowns and payoffs of existing loans and charge-offs. Overall borrowing demand has been modest in the first nine months of 2010 and line utilization rates have been low due to higher levels of liquidity maintained by our commercial clients relative to historic periods.

During 2010 we have continued efforts to change our loan mix and we have increased commercial loans to 56% of total loans at September 30, 2010 compared to 52% at December 31, 2009. During 2010, we continued to reduce our exposure in real estate with commercial real estate and construction representing 36% of total loans at September 30, 2010 compared to 38% at December 31, 2009.

At September 30, 2010, Shared National Credits (“SNCs”) represented approximately 12% of total loans, compared with 14% of total loans at December 31, 2009. SNCs are defined as loan commitments of at least $20.0 million that are shared by three or more regulated financial institutions. We act in an agent capacity in some of these transactions and in a participant capacity in others.

Total construction loan exposure at September 30, 2010 was 6% of total loans compared to 8% of total loans at December 31, 2009. The decline was due primarily to the reclassification of $183.2 million of construction loans to commercial real estate as the project construction phase was completed, as well as payoffs and paydowns.

The following table summarizes our commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios by collateral type at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The composition of our commercial real estate portfolio is principally located in and around our core markets and is significantly concentrated in the Chicago metropolitan area. No single collateral type exceeded 25% of our CRE and construction loan portfolio total at September 30, 2010. The single largest category of commercial real estate at September 30, 2010 was multi-family real estate, which represented 18% of the portfolio. Our overall exposure to land loans, which is a very illiquid asset class, has decreased from $468.4 million at December 31, 2009 to $384.4 million at September 30, 2010, or 12% of the combined commercial real estate and construction portfolios. This collateral type declined as land moved into development stages and due in part to charge-offs.

Nonperforming Assets, Restructured and Delinquent Loans

Nonperforming loans consists of loans past due 90 days and accruing interest, nonaccrual loans and restructured loans remaining on nonaccrual. We specifically exclude from our definition of nonperforming loans, restructured loans that accrue interest, as the borrower has demonstrated the ability to meet the new terms of the restructuring as evidenced by a minimum of six months of performance in compliance with the restructured terms or the borrower’s performance prior to the restructuring or other significant events at the time of the restructuring supports returning the loan to accruing status.

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and real estate that has been acquired primarily through foreclosure and is awaiting disposition (“OREO”).

55

For a detailed discussion of our policy on accrual of interest on loans, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table breaks down our loan portfolio at September 30, 2010 between performing, delinquent, restructured, and nonperforming status.

Loans 60-89 days past due totaled $19.4 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $51.6 million at December 31, 2009. Of the total past due loans, $27.7 million, or 58%, were commercial real estate-related and closely correlates to the concentration of nonaccrual loans in the commercial real estate class. At September 30, 2010 there were no loans accruing interest over 90 days past due in accordance with our policy. Our disclosure with respect to impaired loans is contained in Note 4 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

We continue efforts to enhance asset quality and strengthen our credit risk management processes to identify developing issues and maximize values on weaker quality loan and OREO assets. Through an expanded risk analytics group and a dedicated process to manage watch and impaired loans, we monitor the credit portfolio’s significant exposures and overall trends. Over the past nine months we have repositioned resources and reinforced workout teams to address weaker credits and actively manage these exposures through the difficult economic and credit climate. As part of our workout and asset review, we may consider restructuring troubled loans in certain situations where we believe we will improve our ultimate recovery on the loan.

We executed a number of transactions to reduce problem assets during the third quarter 2010. We closed 19 separate OREO sales totaling $21.3 million during the third quarter 2010.

Total nonperforming assets increased by $25.2 million from $436.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $462.1 million at September 30, 2010. During the quarter, total nonperforming assets increased reflecting the movement of several larger accounts to OREO, while total nonperforming loans were relatively flat during the quarter. Nonperforming assets were 3.67% of total assets at September 30, 2010, compared to 3.63% at December 31, 2009. Approximately 67% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2010 were commercial real estate and construction loans. Based on pending asset sales, we anticipate nonperforming assets will moderate in the fourth quarter 2010.

Nonperforming loans were $371.2 million at the end of the third quarter, down from $395.4 million at year end and $370.2 million in the second quarter 2010, as nonperforming loan inflows and delinquencies remained in line with second quarter 2010 levels. Nonperforming loan inflows were approximately $147.9 million and $130.0 million for the second and third quarter of 2010, respectively. The 35 largest nonperforming loans by borrower represent 61% of the total nonperforming loan portfolio, with the remaining nonperforming loan population represented by relatively small dollar amount loans as shown in the table below. Commercial and industrial loans are typically larger accounts with 8 accounts in the top 35 for a total of $68.9 million. Commercial nonperforming loans increased by $18.5 million, or 27%, from year end, due to two significant loans totaling $29.1 million that had moved to nonperforming status during the year.

Restructured loans accruing interest were $60.7 million at September 30, 2010, compared to no restructured loans accruing interest at December 31, 2009 and $4.0 million at June 30, 2010. Of the modified loans added during the quarter, 86% were from three large credit relationships where management identified restructuring opportunities. Restructured loans accruing interest are not considered to be nonperforming assets.

During 2009, we aligned the portfolio by geographic region and augmented our loan work-out staff in response to deteriorating credit trends. At least quarterly, we review all potential problem loans, nonperforming assets, including OREO properties, and appropriate action plans for payment resolution or disposition, as needed. Action plans are dependent upon borrower cooperation and resources, collateral type and value, existence and quality of guarantees and local market conditions. For OREO properties, we establish appropriate disposition strategies depending upon market and property conditions.

In addition to nonperforming loans mentioned above, we have also identified loans which are performing in accordance with contractual terms, but for which management has varying levels of concern about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms in future periods. We do not necessarily expect to realize losses on these potential problem loans as they are generally secured by either real estate or other borrower assets, mitigating the severity of loss should they become nonperforming, but we do recognize these loans carry a higher probability of default and require additional attention by management. Although these loans are generally identified as potential problem loans, they may never become nonperforming.

Because many of the potential problems loans are commercial real estate related, a highly stressed loan sector, and because the potential problems loan population contains some larger sized credits, our total nonperforming assets may fluctuate over the next several quarters as we continue to execute remediation plans and work through the credit cycle.

At September 30, 2010, office/industrial properties represented the largest portion of OREO, representing 52% of the total OREO carrying value and consisting of 16 properties. Single family homes represented 27% of the total OREO carrying value and consisting of 28 properties. Land parcels represent 19% of the total OREO carrying value, consisting of 232 properties. Of the total OREO properties at September 30, 2010, 50% were located in Illinois, 6% in Georgia, 17% in Michigan, 14% in Texas, and 13% in other states.

As we look to dispose of nonperforming assets, our efforts and strategies may be impacted by a number of factors, including but not limited to, the pace and timing of the overall recovery of the economy, instability or lack of meaningful activity in the real estate market or higher levels of real estate coming into the market for sale. The future carrying value of these assets may be influenced by these same factors. To date, we have approximately $18 million in OREO and other nonperforming assets under sale agreements that are expected to close during the fourth quarter.

Credit Quality Management and Allowance for Loan Losses

Portfolio performance reflects both the individual transactions and the broader economic environment. Performance of our commercial real estate portfolio has been consistent with the overall industry. Commercial real estate weakness continues to be aggravated by the macro environment, including elevated levels of unemployment. These broad factors are evidenced by moderating levels of nonperforming loans, as well as stabilization in delinquencies and defaults. While we anticipate nonperforming assets will moderate in the fourth quarter 2010 partly as a result of increased nonperforming asset sales, credit quality statistics could fluctuate as a result of active portfolio management activities, individual account performance, and economic conditions, all of which may affect the timing of changes in and level of nonperforming assets.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is assessed quarterly and represents our estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date and is supported by available, relevant information. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific impaired borrowing relationships; as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are not specifically identified, which is determined using a formula-based approach. The level of the allowance for loan losses is determined based on a variety of factors, including, among other factors, assessment of the credit risk of the loans in the portfolio, delinquent loans, impaired loans, evaluation of current economic conditions in the market area, actual charge-offs and recoveries during the period, industry loss averages, the estimated fair value of the collateral underlying impaired loans, and historical loss experience. The amount of addition to the allowance for loan losses is charged to earnings through the provision for loan losses.

61

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment and includes a level of imprecision given the difficulty of identifying all the factors impacting loan repayment and the timing of when losses actually occur. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including client performance, the economy, changes in interest rates and property values, and the interpretation by regulatory authorities of loan classifications.

Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately and consider this process to be an important credit management tool, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire loan portfolio.

At least quarterly, the allowance for loan losses and the underlying methodology is reviewed by management and discussed with the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2010, management deemed the allowance for loan losses to be appropriate (i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that are inherent in the portfolio, including those not yet identifiable).

While management uses currently available information to recognize losses on loans, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on newly received appraisals, updated commercial client financial statements, rapidly deteriorating client cash flow, new management information as a result of enhancements in our credit infrastructure, and changes in economic conditions that affect our clients. As an integral part of their examination process, various federal and state regulatory agencies also review the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require that certain loan balances be classified differently or charged off when their credit evaluations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The accounting policies underlying the establishment and maintenance of the allowance for loan losses are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We increased our allowance for loan losses to $223.4 million at September 30, 2010, up $1.7 million from $221.7 million at December 31, 2009. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans (excluding covered assets) was 2.48% at September 30, 2010, up from 2.45% as of December 31, 2009. The loan loss allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 60% at September 30, 2010 compared to 56% at December 31, 2009. The provision for loan losses was $40.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, versus $45.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and $90.0 million in the prior year period.

For the third quarter 2010, net charge-offs totaled $49.1 million as compared to $49.8 million in the second quarter 2010 and $37.3 million in the third quarter 2009. Commercial real estate and construction loans comprised 74% of net charge-offs in the third quarter, reflecting the challenging market conditions associated with these loan types. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net charge-offs totaled $155.8 million, compared to $49.2 million in the prior year period.

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $157.5 million, compared to $129.3 million in the prior year period.

The following table presents our allocation of the allowance for loan losses by specific category at the dates shown.

The allocated reserve for our commercial real estate and construction portfolios declined $8.1 million, or 8%, to $92.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $100.8 million at December 31, 2009. The decrease in this allocation is due in part to a lower amount of loans in the commercial real estate sector at the end of the third quarter. The allocated reserve for our commercial portfolio has increased $7.5 million or 17%, to $50.9 million at September 30, 2010 from $43.4 million at December 31, 2009, although the allocated reserve at September 30, 2010 has declined compared to June 30, 2010, reflecting signs of stabilization in this sector.

Under our methodology, the allowance for loan losses is comprised of the following components:

General Allocated Component of the Allowance

The general allocated component of the allowance was $154.7 million at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1.2 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $155.9 million. The reduction in the general allocated reserve was primarily influenced by the improved risk profile of the performing portfolio during the quarter, modest new loan growth and the changing mix of the performing portfolio in which real estate loans and older “legacy” loans comprise a continually lower relative exposure in comparison to the total performing loans.

Specific Component of the Allowance

The specific component of the allowance was $68.7 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $2.9 million from the December 31, 2009 balance of $65.8 million. The specific reserve requirements are primarily influenced by new loan additions to nonperforming status, as well as changes to collateral values, as most of our impaired loans are collateral dependent.

This asset-specific component relates to impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all contractual required principal and interest payments will not be collected. All loans that are over 90 days past due in principal or interest are by definition considered “impaired” and placed in non-accrual status. Loans subject to valuation for impairment are defined as these nonaccrual loans as well as those loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Impairment is measured by estimating the fair value of the loan based on the loan’s observable fair value or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Impaired loans exceeding a fixed dollar amount of $500,000 are evaluated individually, while smaller loans are evaluated as pools using historical loss experience for the respective class of asset and product type. If the estimated fair value is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by creating a specific valuation reserve as a component of the allowance for loan losses.

Our impaired loan population is primarily collateral dependent, with such loans totaling $385.0 million of the total $431.8 million in impaired loans at September 30, 2010. When collateral-dependent real estate loans are determined to be impaired,

65

updated appraisals are typically obtained every twelve months and evaluated by our internal Appraisal Group every six months. In addition, both borrower and market-specific factors are taken into consideration, which may result in obtaining more frequent appraisal updates or broker-price opinions. As of September 30, 2010, the average appraisal age used in the impaired loan valuation process was 187 days.

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, we maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments at a level we believe to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to unfunded credit facilities. At September 30, 2010, our reserve for unfunded commitments was $5.3 million, a $3.8 million increase over $1.5 million at December 31, 2009. The reserve is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the general allocated component of the allowance for loan losses. Net adjustments to the reserve for unfunded commitments are included in other non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

COVERED ASSETS

Covered assets represent purchased loans and foreclosed loan collateral covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, whereby the FDIC will reimburse us for the majority of the losses incurred.

The carrying amounts of covered assets are presented in the following table:

Table 20

Covered Assets

(Amounts in thousands)

	September 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Commercial loans	$	54,917		$	78,885
Commercial real estate loans		210,142			226,124
Residential mortgage loans		57,903			60,147

Allowance for covered asset losses		(12,174	)		(2,764	)
Net covered assets	$	407,691		$	499,270

Total covered assets decreased by $82.1 million or 16% during the first nine months of 2010 from $502.0 million at December 31, 2009 to $419.9 million at September 30, 2010. The reduction is primarily attributable to $61.1 million in principal paydowns, net of advances, as well as the resulting impact of such on the evaluation of expected cash flows and discount accretion levels. In addition, the estimated loss reimbursement by the FDIC (“the FDIC indemnification receivable”) further contributed to the reduction as a result of loss claims submitted to the FDIC. The allowance for covered asset losses increased by $9.4 million to $12.2 million at September 30, 2010 from $2.8 million at December 31, 2009, reflecting a further decline in expected cash flows on certain pools of covered loans since the date of acquisition. Of the total allowance for covered asset losses, 80% was offset through the FDIC indemnification receivable and the remaining 20% representing the non-reimbursable portion of the loss share agreement recognized as a charge to provision for loan and covered asset losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

All of the loans acquired were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date without regard to the loss sharing agreements. Loans were evaluated and assigned to loan pools based on common risk characteristics. The determination of the fair value of the loans resulted in a significant discount to the carrying amount of the loans, which was designated as accretable or non-accretable based upon the ability to estimate future cash flows of the loans. The accretable amounts are being recognized as interest income over the remaining term of the loan. The majority of the nonaccretable balance is expected to be received from the FDIC in connection with the loss share agreements and is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Condition as a separate component of covered assets. Purchased impaired loans are generally considered accruing and performing as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. However, under regulatory reporting standards, covered loans that are contractually past due will continue to be reported as past due and still accruing based on the number of days past due. Table 21 highlights the performance characteristics of the covered loans in accordance with regulatory standards. These assets are excluded from the asset quality presentation of our originated loan portfolio, given the loss share indemnification from the FDIC.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

Deposits

We rely on a relationship driven approach to generate client deposits that are our primary source to fund loan growth. We have built a suite of deposit and cash management products and services that have been successful in generating client deposits for us. Many of these activities are supported by dedicated personnel with significant experience. Moreover, our relationship-based banking model means we are focused on delivering the “whole Bank” to our clients including our deposit and cash management services. From December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010, our client deposit growth has exceeded our loan growth with client deposit balances more than covering total loans, enabling us to reduce our reliance on more expensive wholesale funding sources. Nevertheless, we have a number of wholesale funding sources available to us, and as a matter of prudent asset/liability management, we utilize a variety of funding sources in an effort to optimize the balance of duration risk, cost, liquidity risk and contingency planning.

⁽¹⁾ The CDARS^® deposit program is a deposit services arrangement that effectively achieves FDIC deposit insurance for jumbo deposit relationships. These deposits are classified as brokered deposits for regulatory deposit purposes; however, we classify these deposits as client CDARS^® due to the source being our existing and new client relationships and are, therefore, not traditional ‘brokered’ deposits. We also participate in a non-client CDARS^® program that is more like a traditional brokered deposit program.

⁽²⁾ Total deposits, net of traditional brokered deposits and non-client CDARS^®.

Total deposits at September 30, 2010 increased 7% from year-end 2009 primarily due to growth in money market accounts and non-interest bearing deposits offset by reductions in traditional brokered deposits and time deposits. Client deposits increased by $812.1 million to $10.1 billion at September 30, 2010, compared to $9.3 billion at December 31, 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, we have continued to facilitate our deposit growth by pursuing deposits from existing and new clients, increasing institutional and municipal deposits, and attracting additional business DDA account balances through our enhanced treasury management services. Total non-interest bearing deposits increased $332.5 million, or 18%, at September 30, 2010 from December 31, 2009.

Middle-market commercial client relationships with a diversified industry base in our markets are the primary source of our deposit base. Due to our commercial banking focused business model, our client deposit base provides access to larger deposit balances that result in a concentrated deposit base. The deposits are held in different deposit products such as interest-bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits, CDARS^®, savings and money market accounts. Deposit levels have benefited from higher liquidity levels businesses are maintaining generally, as well as our clients’ rotation into more liquid products.

Brokered deposits totaled $1.2 billion at September 30, 2010, a decrease of 21% from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2009 due to decreases in both traditional brokered deposits and client CDARS^® deposits. During the first nine months of 2010, we further reduced traditional brokered deposits as a source of funding due to client deposit growth. Our brokered deposits to total deposits ratio was 12% at September 30, 2010, compared to 16% at December 31, 2009. Brokered deposits at September 30, 2010 include $1.1 billion in CDARS^® deposits, of which we consider $828.5 million, or 8% of total deposits, to be client related CDARS^®.

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

Short-term borrowings, which primarily consists of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances that mature in one year or less, decreased by $35.3 million to $179.7 million at September 30, 2010 from $215.0 million at December 31, 2009. Long term-debt which is comprised of junior subordinated debentures, a subordinated debt facility and the long term portion of FHLB advances, decreased by $93.4 million to $439.6 million at September 30, 2010 from $533.0 million at December 31, 2009. The reduction in both borrowing categories was attributable to FHLB advance activity with $126.0 million in repayments offset by movement of $93.0 million of the now current portion of FHLB advances from long-term debt classification to short-term borrowings. Scheduled maturities of short-term borrowings during fourth quarter 2010 total $85.0 million with a weighted average rate of 3.28%.

Liquidity

The objectives of liquidity risk management are to ensure that we can meet our cash flow requirements, capitalize on business opportunities in a timely and cost effective manner and satisfy regulatory guidelines and requirements. Liquidity management involves forecasting funding requirements, assessing concentration risks and maintaining sufficient capacity to meet our clients’ needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in our business operations or unanticipated events. Liquidity is secured by managing the mix of financial instruments on the balance sheet and expanding potential sources of liquidity.

We manage liquidity at two levels: at the holding company level and at the bank subsidiary level. The management of liquidity at both levels is essential because the holding company and the Bank each have different funding needs and sources. Liquidity management is guided by policies formulated and monitored by our senior management and the Bank’s asset/liability committee, which take into account regulatory guidelines and requirements, the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of funding market conditions, the level of unfunded commitments and potential future loan and deposit growth.

69

We also develop and maintain contingency funding plans, which evaluate our liquidity position under various operating circumstances and allow us to ensure that we would be able to operate through a period of stress when access to normal sources of funding is constrained. The plans project funding requirements during a potential period of stress, specify and quantify sources of liquidity, outline actions and procedures for effectively managing through the problem period, and define roles and responsibilities.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds are client deposits, large institutional deposits, wholesale market-based borrowings, capital contributions by the parent company, and cash from operations. The Bank’s principal uses of funds include funding loan growth and our investment portfolio, which is used primarily to manage interest rate and liquidity risk. The primary sources of funding for the holding company include dividends received from the Bank when available and proceeds from the issuance of senior, subordinated and convertible debt, as well as equity. Primary uses of funds for the parent company include repayment of maturing debt, dividends paid to stockholders, interest paid to our debt holders and subsidiary funding through capital contributions.

Our client deposits, the most stable source of liquidity due to the nature of long-term relationships generally established with our clients, are available to provide long-term liquidity for the Bank. At September 30, 2010, 80% of our total assets were funded by client deposits, compared to 77% at December 31, 2009. Client deposits for purposes of this ratio are defined to include all deposits less traditional brokered deposits and non-client CDARS^®. Time deposits are included as client deposits since these deposits have historically not been volatile deposits for us.

In addition to on-balance sheet liquidity and funding, the Bank maintains access to various external sources of funding, which assist in the prudent management of funding costs, interest rate risk, and anticipated funding needs or other considerations. Some sources of funding are accessible same-day while others require advance notice. Funds that are immediately accessible include Federal Fund counterparty lines, which are uncommitted lines of credit from other financial institutions, and the borrowing term is typically overnight. Federal Fund lines fluctuate based on availability in the market place and counterparty relationship strength. Repurchase agreements or “Repos” are also an immediate source of funding in which the Bank pledges assets to a counterparty against which the Bank can borrow with the agreement to repurchase at a specified date in the future. Repos can vary in term, from overnight to longer but are regarded as short-term in nature. An additional source of overnight funding is the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank maintains access to the discount window by pledging loans as collateral to the Federal Reserve. Funding availability is primarily dictated by the amount of loans pledged by the Bank, but also impacted by the margin applied to the loans by the Federal Reserve. The amount of loans pledged to the Federal Reserve can fluctuate due to the availability of loans eligible under the Federal Reserve’s criteria which include stipulations of documentation requirements, credit quality, payment status and other criteria. In addition to overnight funding, the Bank can access additional funding through the brokered deposit market. Brokered deposits are deposits that are sourced from external and unrelated financial institutions by a third-party. The funding requires advance notification to structure the type of deposit desired by the Bank, but the funding itself can vary in term from one month to several years and has the benefit of being a source of long-term funding.

While we first look toward internally generated deposits as a funding source, we continue to utilize wholesale funding sources, including brokered deposits, in order to enhance liquidity, diversify our funding, and supplement deposits as needed, for example during periods of heavy loan demand. Brokered deposits, excluding client CDARS^®, decreased to 4% of total deposits at September 30, 2010, compared to 6% of total deposits at December 31, 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, we further reduced traditional brokered deposits as a source of funding due to an increase in client deposits. Our asset/liability management policy currently limits our use of brokered deposits excluding client CDARS^® to levels no more than 25% of total deposits, and brokered deposits to levels no more than 40% of total deposits inclusive of CDARS^®.

Liquid assets refer to cash on hand, federal funds sold, as well as available-for-sale securities. Net liquid assets represent the sum of the liquid asset categories less the amount of assets pledged to secure public funds and certain deposits that require collateral. At September 30, 2010, net liquid assets totaled $1.9 billion, up from $1.4 billion at December 31, 2009. We maintain liquidity sufficient to meet client liquidity needs, fund loan growth, selectively purchase securities and investments and opportunistically pay down wholesale funds.

Net cash provided by operations totaled $123.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash provided by operations of $66.8 million in the prior year period. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $481.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.0 billion in the prior year period primarily due to greater loan growth in the prior year period. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2010 totaled $496.6 million compared to $1.2 billion in the prior year period.

CAPITAL

Equity was $1.2 billion at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 with current year net losses largely offset by increases in unrealized gains of the securities portfolio.

Capital Measurements

Under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, we are subject to various capital requirements set and administered by the federal banking agencies. These requirements specify minimum capital ratios, defined as Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance sheet items that have been weighted according to broad risk categories and a leverage ratio calculated as Tier 1 capital as a percentage of adjusted average assets. We have managed our capital ratios at the bank subsidiary and holding company level to consistently maintain such measurements in excess of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) minimum levels and the minimum levels to be considered “well capitalized” under FDICIA.

The following table presents information about our capital measures and the related regulatory capital guidelines.

⁽¹⁾ Ratios are not subject to formal FRB regulatory guidance.

⁽²⁾ Ratios are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to Table 26, “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation from non-GAAP to GAAP.

We manage our balance sheet to maintain capital ratios at the bank and holding company at adequate levels above the minimum regulatory guidelines. Under our capital planning policy, we target capital ratios at levels we believe are appropriate based on various considerations including the risks inherent in our balance sheet, current operating and economic environment, internal risk guidelines, strategic objectives and regulatory expectations. Our current plans are to continue to manage growth within our existing capital base and we do not currently have plans to raise additional capital in the near term. Our holding company has the flexibility to contribute capital to our banking subsidiary as needed for capital management. We expect to maintain capital at our banking subsidiary within target ranges approximately 200 to 250 basis points above the regulatory minimums for risk-based ratios and 325 to 375 above the minimum leverage ratio.

Dividends

We declared dividends of $0.01 per common share in the third quarter 2010, which is unchanged from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share in the third quarter 2009. Although we currently intend to continue to pay dividends on our common stock and our preferred stock at the current levels, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so.

71

As a result of our participation in the TARP CPP, we are subject to various restrictions on our ability to increase the cash dividends we pay on our common stock above the quarterly rate of $0.075 per share, the rate in effect when our participation in TARP CPP began. Our ability to pay dividends is also subject to regulatory restrictions resulting from the recent losses we have incurred. We must provide notice to and obtain approval from the FRB before declaring or paying any dividends. For additional information regarding limitations and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, refer to the “Supervision and Regulation” and “Risk Factors” sections of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

This report contains both GAAP and non-GAAP based financial measures. These non-GAAP measures include net interest income, net interest margin, net revenue, operating profit and efficiency ratio all on a fully taxable-equivalent basis; tier 1 common capital, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible equity to tangible assets, and tangible equity to risk-weighted assets. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance, our business, and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the banking industry.

We use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating various performance measures by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments assuming a 35% tax rate. Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enhances comparability to net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources, and accordingly believes that providing this measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes.

We also consider various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including tier 1 common capital, tangible common equity ratio, tangible equity to tangible assets and tangible equity to risk-weighted assets, in addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators for both absolute and comparative purposes. Certain of these measures exclude the ending balances of goodwill and other intangibles and/or preferred capital components. Because GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, we believe there are no comparable GAAP financial measures to these ratios. We believe these non-GAAP measures are relevant because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of our capitalization to other companies. However, because there are no standardized definitions for these ratios, our calculations may not be comparable with other companies, and the usefulness of these measures to investors may be limited.

72

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. As a result, we encourage readers to consider our Consolidated Financial Statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. The following table reconciles Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates that could affect our results of operations and financial condition. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities. We occasionally use derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool to hedge interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of our interest-earning assets are floating rate instruments. To manage the interest rate mix of our balance sheet and related cash flows, we have the ability to use a combination of financial instruments, including medium-term and short-term financings, variable-rate debt instruments, fixed rate loans and securities and, to a lesser extent, interest rate swaps. Approximately 51% of the total loan portfolio is indexed to LIBOR, 27% of the total loan portfolio is indexed to the prime rate, and another 6% of the total loan portfolio otherwise adjusts with other interest rates. The remaining loan portfolio is fixed rate loans. Changes in market rates and the shape of the yield curve may give us the opportunity to make changes to our investment securities portfolio as part of our asset/liability management strategy.

We have not materially changed our interest rate risk management strategy from December 31, 2009, but we will continue to consider the use of interest rate swaps on our assets or liabilities in the future depending on changes in market rates of interest.

Asset/Liability Management

As a continuing part of our financial strategy, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. Our asset/liability management policy is established by our Board of Directors and includes guidelines for exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity and reliance on non-core deposits. The investment policy complements the asset/liability management policy by establishing criteria by which we may purchase securities. These criteria include approved types of securities, brokerage sources, terms of investment, quality standards, and diversification.

We have structured our assets and liabilities to mitigate the risk of either a rising or falling interest rate environment. Depending upon our assessment of economic factors, such as the magnitude and direction of projected interest rates over the short- and long-term, we generally operate within guidelines set by our asset/liability management policy and attempt to maximize our returns within an acceptable degree of risk. We have not used hedging activities as part of our asset liability management in recent years, but may pursue hedging strategies, as appropriate, to augment our risk management in the future.

Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. There are other factors that are difficult to measure and predict that would influence the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our consolidated income statement.

Our primary way of estimating the potential impact of interest rate changes on our income statement is through the use of a simulation model based on our interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios, assuming the size of these portfolios remains constant throughout the twelve month measurement period. The simulation assumes that assets and liabilities accrue interest on their current pricing basis. Assets and liabilities then re-price based on current terms and remain at the repriced interest rate through the end of the measurement period. The model attempts to illustrate the potential change in annual net interest income if the foregoing occurred. The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income of an immediate change in interest rates as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

76

Analysis of Net Interest Income Sensitivity

(Dollars in thousands)

	Immediate Change in Rates
	-50			+50			+100			+200			+300
September 30, 2010:
Dollar change	$	(9,606	)	$	12,959		$	26,331		$	53,173		$	82,228
Percent change		-2.5	%		3.4	%		6.9	%		13.9	%		21.5	%
December 31, 2009:
Dollar change	$	6,623		$	21,576		$	31,959		$	54,568		$	79,604
Percent change		1.8	%		5.8	%		8.6	%		14.7	%		21.5	%

The estimated impact to our net interest income over a one year period is reflected in dollar terms and percentage change. As an example, this table shows that if there had been an immediate parallel shift in the yield curve of +100 basis points on September 30, 2010, net interest income would increase by $26.3 million or 6.9% over a one-year period, as compared to a net interest income increase of $32.0 million or 8.6% if there had been an immediate parallel shift of +100 basis points at December 31, 2009.

Changes in the effect of the assumed interest rate shocks on our net interest income at September 30, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009 are due to the timing and nature of the re-pricing of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities within the one year time frame. As compared to December 31, 2009, the interest rate simulation reports at September 30, 2010 slightly decreased net interest income sensitivity as evidenced by a smaller percent change in the net interest income and smaller estimated dollar change for the +50 and +100 basis points scenarios. The estimated dollar impact on net interest income is also impacted in each scenario due to changes in our interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios during the first nine months of 2010. The reduction in our asset sensitivity was due primarily to an incremental decline in rate sensitive loans coupled with an increase in less sensitive additions to the investment portfolio with the combined effect producing a marginally less sensitive asset base. In addition, these asset movements were predominately funded by increases in rate sensitive deposits, which further offset asset sensitivity.

The preceding sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, changes in deposit levels, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows and others. While our assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how client preferences or competitor influences might change.

We continue to monitor our rate shock analysis to detect changes to our exposure to fluctuating rates. We have the ability to shorten or lengthen maturities on newly acquired assets, purchase or sell investment securities, or seek funding sources with different maturities in order to change our asset and liability structure for the purpose of mitigating the effect of interest rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this report, (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 22, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in federal court in the Northern District of Illinois against the Company on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock between November 2, 2007 and October 23, 2009. Also named in the lawsuit were certain of our current and former executive officers and directors, our independent auditors and the underwriters of our June 2008 and May 2009 public offerings of common stock. The complaint alleges that we made materially false and misleading statements regarding our business and financial results during the purported class period and asserts various claims against certain of the named defendants under the Securities Act of 1933 and under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks class certification, compensatory damages in an unspecified amount, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and rescission. At this early stage of the litigation, it is not possible to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss, if any.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than as set forth below which replaces in its entirely the risk factor in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The impact of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act is still uncertain, is expected to increase our regulatory compliance burden and costs of doing business and could result in enhanced capital and leverage requirements and restrictions on certain products and services we offer.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) which significantly changes the financial regulatory landscape and will affect the operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies as well as others. Although many of the details of the Dodd-Frank Act and the full impact it will have on our business or revenues are uncertain at this point, in part because many of the provisions require the adoption of implementing rules and regulations, the burden of compliance with the new law and its rules and regulations could increase operating costs and reduce revenue.

For example, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the adoption of new capital regulations by no later than January 2012. The regulations are required to be, at a minimum, as stringent as current capital and leverage requirements and may limit the use of subordinated debt or similar instruments to meet capital requirements. Future issuances of trust preferred securities have been disallowed as Tier 1 qualifying capital by the Dodd-Frank Act, although our currently outstanding trust preferred securities have been grandfathered for Tier 1 eligibility. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires regulatory agencies to seek to make capital requirements for bank holding companies countercyclical, so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction. The U.S. federal banking agencies have also expressed support for recently issued draft proposals by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, commonly referred to as “Basel III,” that provide for heightened bank capital, leverage and liquidity requirements that would be phased in over a multi-year period. To the extent the capital and leverage requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act are similar to the Basel III proposals, or otherwise impose heightened capital and leverage requirements, we could be required to raise additional capital depending on our business activities, asset mix, growth plans and results of operation. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides that certain financial institutions of our size will be required to conduct annual stress tests in accordance with regulations to be adopted. The testing will require resources and increase our compliance costs.

In other provisions, the Dodd-Frank Act increases the regulation of derivatives and hedging transactions. This is expected to impact our capital markets group which offers an extensive range of over-the-counter interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives products to our clients. The regulations are expected to impose additional reporting and monitoring requirements, all of which would likely result in added costs of doing business, require higher capital and margin requirements and require that certain trades be executed through clearinghouses. Depending on the outcome of regulatory implementation, the prospects for our capital markets business and the demand for its products may be diminished.

With respect to deposit insurance, the Dodd-Frank Act broadens the base for FDIC insurance assessments which we expect will increase our FDIC insurance premiums and permanently increases the deposit insurance limit to $250,000 per depositor. Under the Dodd-Frank Act the FDIC will insure the full balance of non-interest bearing transaction accounts through January 1, 2013, replacing the TAGP at the end of 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act also repeals the prohibition on banks’ payment of interest on demand deposit accounts of commercial clients beginning one year from the date of enactment, and the market impact of this change is not yet known.

78

Another significant aspect of the Dodd-Frank Act that will affect us is the creation of a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Bureau will have broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. Among other things, it is anticipated that the Bureau may consider significant reforms in the mortgage industry that could have an adverse affect on our mortgage business.

No assurance can be given as to the ultimate effect that the Dodd-Frank Act or any of its provisions will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, the financial services industry or the economy.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In connection with our participation in the TARP CPP, our ability to repurchase shares of our common stock is subject to the applicable restrictions of the CPP following the January 30, 2009 sale of the preferred stock to the Treasury under the CPP. The restrictions on repurchases will not affect our ability to repurchase shares in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans as such transactions are in the ordinary course and consistent with our past practice.

The following table summarizes purchases we made during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 in the administration of our employee share-based compensation plans. Under the terms of these plans, we accept shares of common stock from option holders if they elect to surrender previously-owned shares upon exercise of options to cover the exercise price or, in the case of both restricted shares of common stock or stock options, the withholding of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted shares or exercise of stock options.

Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

PrivateBancorp, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2010, the related consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial condition of PrivateBancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated March 1, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.
