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.

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