bottomline: if you own really, really low strike options with a 10 year expiration, you don't need to buy, BUT it does not give a good impression to shareholders, since it suggests you don't have to ability or gumption to accept "out of pocket risk".....it does suggest, you are leveraging the belief that you will someday "cash in" and GET RICH without the worry of other shareholders.
To me: it suggests an opportunist, gaining new option grants every year.
I like it when their is a corporate POLICY that has insiders within the company owning shares along with option grants....something like what $SWAV does
