When information is 'furnished but not filed' under an 8-K, it means the information is provided to the SEC for public disclosure, but it does not carry the same legal liabilities or implications as information that is 'filed' with the SEC (e.g., within the body of the 10-K or 10-Q). Investors should still review it carefully, but it's important to understand the distinction in regulatory treatment.
