What does it mean that the information is 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition) of Form 8-K, it means the company is providing the information to the SEC for public dissemination, but it is not considered officially 'filed' for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This typically means the furnished information does not carry the same legal liability for accuracy under that specific section, although it is still material non-public information that should be accurate.
