When information is 'furnished' rather than 'filed' in an 8-K, it means the company is providing the information to the SEC but is not subject to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for that specific information. It also means the information won't be automatically incorporated into other SEC filings like registration statements.
