Jupiter, which owns a 9.6 per cent stake, rejected her call, but warned bosses to improve governance.
In a letter seen by the Mail, Jupiter chief Nichola Pease said Jupiter expects problems to be fully addressed with ‘meaningful and permanent’ measures.
In August Kamani dismissed some of the allegations against it as ‘another lot of b******s’.
An independent probe found Kamani ‘covertly owns or controls many of the factories [in Leicester]’.
The Kamani family’s 18.6 per cent stake was worth £655million last night after the shares rose 5.5 per cent.
