Mobile payment company Square said Director Vinod Khosla, the company’s second largest shareholder, had left its board ahead of its initial public offering.

Khosla will remain an adviser to Square’s board, the company said in a filing on Monday.

The company, headed by Twitter Inc Chief Executive Jack Dorsey, filed for an IPO on Oct. 14.

Square also reported a 49 percent jump in net revenue to $892.8 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30.

The company’s net loss widened to $131.5 million, or 88 cents per share, from $117.0 million, or 84 cents per share, a year earlier.
