JBS issues US$ 2 billion in bonds to refinance debt

JBS announced the issuance of US$ 2 billion in international bonds through its subsidiaries JBS USA Food Company Holdings and JBS USA Foods Group Holdings. The transaction was structured in two tranches: US$ 1.25 billion maturing in 2037 with a 5.625% coupon, and US$ 750 million maturing in 2057 with a 6.4% rate.
