What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it means the company is providing it to the SEC, but it is not considered officially 'filed' under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This distinction generally means the information does not carry the same legal liabilities as 'filed' information and is not automatically incorporated into other SEC filings unless explicitly stated.
