The distinction is important for legal and regulatory purposes. Information that is 'furnished' under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) is generally not subject to the same liabilities under Section 18 of the Exchange Act as information that is formally 'filed'. This means the company is providing the information for transparency but not necessarily making formal representations that would trigger liability if incorrect under Section 18.
