Both offers will be taking off the final f.f. dividend, (amounting to $.02), so that would mean the WOW offer reduces to $1.73. The dividend is due to be paid today BTW. The WES offer anticipates a further $.03 div.so that would reduce the "capital" return to $1.70. However, my concern is why restrict the total dividends to $0.05 when there is a large franking account balance. It would make the offers more attractive if the franking balance in API was accessed by way of a further significant dividend.
