(OKBI) with the intent of Spirit Catholic Radio acquiring the assets of OCBI at a later date. Funds were used to establish an LLC under the name Spirit Catholic Radio Oklahoma, LLC (SCRO). An asset purchase agreement was signed in December of 2025 between OKBI and SCRO. Once the APA was accepted by the FCC, the loan is to be forgiven and included as an expense toward the acquisition of OCBI assets for $1.
