(CBS.MW) -- Priceline.com founder and Vice Chairman Jay S. Walker has resigned his board position.

Walker was Priceline's chairman and CEO from its inception in July 1997 to August 1998, when he became the vice chairman. According to a Priceline statement issued Thursday after the market closed, Walker is leaving to focus on Walker Digital, a company he founded in 1994 as an intellectual property developer that invented Priceline's business model. He was recently named the CEO of Walker Digital. "I have every confidence that Priceline.com will emerge from the current environment as one of the Internet's pre-eminent brands," Walker said. Priceline (PCLN: news, chart) shares shed 9 cents, or 6.7 percent, to end at $1.31 on Thursday. They are down from a 52-week high of $104.25.
