For investors, 'furnished but not filed' means that while the information is provided publicly, the company is not subject to the same stringent legal liabilities under Section 11 or Section 18 of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, respectively, for potential misstatements or omissions within those specific furnished documents compared to the core report itself.
