Information that is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 is generally not subject to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally 'filed.' This means that while investors can rely on the information, the company may have a different legal standard to defend if the information turns out to be inaccurate.
