Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, as previously amended by Amendments No. 1 and 2 thereto (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) of Axioma Ventures, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Axioma Ventures”), Axioma Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Axioma Holdings”), Axioma Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Axioma Management”), Howard M. Jenkins, Alexander H. Jenkins, and Kiran Lingam initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2020, to reflect:

(1)

the redemption on September 20, 2021 by Axioma Holdings of Howard M. Jenkins’ membership interest in Axioma Holdings, in exchange for which Mr. Jenkins received 5,147,000 shares of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Hyliion Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (formerly Tortoise Acquisition Corp.) (the “Issuer”) from Axioma Ventures (the “Exchange”), and

(2)

open market sales of an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock by Alexander H. Jenkins, on June 8 through September 2, 2021 (reflecting less than 1% of the Common Stock outstanding).

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 3, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D. The information set forth in response to each separate Item shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.

The following Items of the Schedule 13D are amended as follows:

Item 2. Identity and Background.

The persons filing this statement and the persons enumerated in Instruction C of Schedule 13D and, where applicable, their respective places of organization, general partners, directors, executive officers and controlling persons and the information regarding them, are as follows:

Not included in this Schedule 13D are 10,000 restricted stock units awarded to Howard M.

The sole member of Axioma Ventures is Axioma Holdings and the managers of Axioma Ventures are Alexander Jenkins and Kiran Lingam.

The information in Items 2 and 3 is incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the Merger, the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement with several parties (the “Holders”), including Axioma Ventures, pursuant to which the Holders, subject to certain conditions, are entitled to registration rights with respect to securities of the Issuer (the “Registrable Securities”). Pursuant to this agreement, the Issuer agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the Merger, it will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities, and use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Certain of the Holders were granted demand underwritten offering registration rights and all of the Holders were granted piggyback registration rights. The agreement terminates upon the earlier of (a) ten years following the Merger or (b) the date as of which the Holders cease to hold any registrable securities.

The Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments hereto. A copy of such agreement was attached as Exhibit 1 to Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Reporting Persons consented to the redemption by Axioma Holdings of Howard M. Jenkins’ membership interest in Axioma Holdings, in exchange for which Mr. Jenkins received 5,147,000 shares of Common Stock from Axioma Ventures.
