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

When information is 'furnished' under Item 7.01, it means the company is making it available to the public, but it is not subject to the same rigorous legal liability as information that is 'filed' under other sections of SEC regulations, such as Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, for investors, this information is still important for understanding management's communications.
