Explanation:
The normal way to say this in English is "the signature below" - "apposée" is an example of French verbosity and can/should be omitted in translation.

neutral  B D Finch: I think the wrong answer was selected and it is not usual to use "affixed" or "appended" in relation to signatures unless they are digital signatures or if the signature in question has been appended after execution of the document.

  -> Giving an archive link doesn't mean agreeing with the chosen answer. For instance, one of the answers, and the glossary entry derived from the question suggest "this signature"
