What specific financial performance metrics are detailed in this 8-K filing?

The 8-K filing itself does not contain the specific financial performance metrics. Instead, it incorporates by reference Exhibit 99.1, which is a press release. Investors must review this press release to find details on revenue, earnings per share, and other key financial and operational results for the 12 and 36 weeks ended September 3, 2016.

Why is the information in Item 2.02 considered 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

The information in Item 2.02 is typically furnished to the SEC rather than filed. This distinction is important because furnished information is not subject to the liabilities associated with Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which governs liability for false or misleading statements in filed documents. While it's still an official release of information, the legal implications are different.

What is the significance of the event date and filing date being the same?

The event date (September 28, 2016) likely represents the date the press release containing the financial results was issued internally or prepared, and the filing date (September 28, 2016) is when the company officially submitted the 8-K to the SEC. This indicates a timely dissemination of the financial results to the public market.
