What does 'furnished pursuant to Item 7.01' mean in the context of this filing?

This means the information, specifically Exhibit 99.1 (the press release), is being provided to comply with Regulation FD disclosure rules, ensuring broad public dissemination of material information discussed at the Investor Day, rather than being a filing of a definitive agreement or financial statement.

Are the highlights from the Investor Day considered legally 'filed' with the SEC?
