There is zero chance that MAXIM, who's job it is to make as much money as possible, by getting the best terms for themselves as they can, is going to over pay for shares because a company has potential.  If there is good news in two weeks that sends the shares to $4, think how much happier they are going to be that they got those shares for $1 instead of paying $2.  
I'm sorry, but that would never happen.

Unless maybe Tom Mika was their CRO.
