Drug firm boss under pressure to waive €1.4m bonuses

AstraZeneca boss Sir Tom McKillop is under pressure to waive £1m (€1.4m) in bonuses following a string of setbacks for the drugs giant, it was reported today.

Investors are understood to be seeking the gesture from McKillop after shares in the company fell 30% during 2004 amid concerns over many of its key medicines.
