When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC but it is generally not subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it automatically incorporated into other SEC filings. Investors should still consider the information material, but it has a different legal standing compared to information that is formally 'filed'.
