It means that for certain purposes, specifically Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the information furnished in this part of the 8-K (Item 2.02 and its exhibits) is not considered officially 'filed' with the SEC and therefore does not carry the same legal liabilities as if it were fully filed.
