In the strictest sense of the word, not much. As long as the company does not run out of cash, then its stock price is irrelevant to the company's operations. However, stock price is a reflection of what the market thinks the company's equity is worth, and this has implications. So, here are some scenarios: If the stock price undervalues a company's equity... it will tend to attract buyout offers and hostile takeovers as people take advantage of the stock's low price. Also, investors will be unhappy with the stock performance and the CEO will not collect large bonuses. So CEO turnover is another symptom of a low stock price. And finally, underpriced stock will also tend to be "bought back" because the company views it as a good investment. If the stock price overvalues a company's equity... the company will be more prone to using its stock to acquire other companies. Stock buyback become less attractive, and it becomes very expensive for the company to be acquired.

Sometimes this could be a sweet deal (if the stock is currently higher than the option) to worthless (if the option price is higher that the current stock price). You also don't have to have the funds to exercise the option, you can have a brokerage company exercise the option, then sell the stock at the higher price, with the difference being your profit.
