to streamline (the company/business) to maximise returns (on the investment)
The acquirer/buyer/purchasing entity wants to achieve synergies/maximum returns on the investment made, so they are streamlining/restructuring the acquired business to achieve this goal, which often just means, in plain and simple terms, to fire a lot of people.
