Bimbo (BIMBOA.MX) said it issued 5 billion pesos of five-year floating-rate debt.

It also placed 2 billion pesos of seven-year fixed-rate debt and 3 billion pesos of seven-year inflation-indexed notes.

Bimbo in January acquired the U.S. breadmaking unit of Canada's George Weston Ltd (WN.TO) for $2.38 billion.

Bimbo said in a press release that some of the proceeds from its debt placement would be used to refinance a bridge loan obtained for that acquisition. ($1 = 13.59 pesos) (Reporting by Noel Randewich; Editing by Lincoln Feast)
