Jan 26 (Reuters) - Belgian postal operator Bpost said on Wednesday it had entered into a takeover agreement with Belgian gaming company Golden Palace for the sale of the Ubiway Retail operated Press Shop, Hubiz, Ubi and Relay brands.

"The Ubiway Retail activities were no longer core to Bpost strategy as Bpost group is focusing on the acceleration of its transformation into an international e-commerce logistics player", the group said in a statement.

The closing of the transaction is expected to take place by the end of February, Bpost added. (Reporting by Anait Miridzhanian; Editing by Kirsten Donovan)
