The Amended Proxy Form shall be signed by the appointor or his/her attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointor is a body corporate, either under the common seal or signed by a director or a duly authorised attorney of the body corporate. If the Amended Proxy Form is signed by an attorney of the appointor, the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign or other document of authorisation must be notarized.
