Elliott Management Corp.’s Jesse Cohn plans to step down from Twitter Inc.’s board once the company can find a replacement.

Twitter is searching for a new independent board director, in line with its “interest in continuing to enhance the diversity of the board,” to replace Cohn, according to a filing Thursday. It’s unclear how long the search will take. Elliott’s standstill agreement will remain in effect until Cohn steps down from the board, according to the filing.
