Facebook Chief Accounting Officer David Spillane will be stepping down, the company announced in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

According to the filing, Spillane tendered his resignation on April 25 and gave no reason for his departure.

Effective May 10, Spillane will be replaced by Jas Athwal, who has served as Facebook's corporate controller of revenue since joining the company in 2008. Athwal, who has been with Facebook for more than five years, previously served as director of revenue at Yahoo.

Spillane was one of three Facebook executives to make headlines last year after cashing in millions of dollars worth of Facebook stock.  He sold 256,000 shares for $5.4 million in November 2012 and another 60,000 shares for $1.6 million in January. As of April 15, he still owned about 160,000 shares, according to documents filed with the SEC.

Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and General Counsel Theodore Ullyot also sold millions of dollars worth of shares. The sales were the first by Facebook's senior management following the company's high-profile initial public offering in May.
