LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2017 -- Great American Capital Partners, LLC (GACP), a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:RILY), a leading provider of diversified financial and business advisory services, has entered into an agreement with Legend Energy Services, LLC to provide a $25 million delayed draw senior secured term loan. Proceeds from the loan will be used to acquire machinery & equipment.

Legend Energy is well positioned to execute its growth plan in 2017 and going forward, and we are very excited about this partnership.”

“The financing provided by Great American Capital Partners provides us additional financial flexibility as we expand into the pressure pumping market,” said Trey Ingram, CEO of Legend.  “We look forward to building on the relationship with GACP.”
