When information is furnished and not deemed 'filed' under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, it means the company is providing the information to the public but is not subject to the same stringent legal liability for its accuracy as if it were part of a formal registration statement or annual/quarterly report. However, it is still important information for investors to consider.
