CANADIAN SUPERIOR ENERGY RELEASES DETAILS OF UPCOMING ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING  OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire – April 29, 2010) - Canadian Superior Energy Inc.  ("Canadian Superior" or the "Company") (TSX:SNG) (NYSE Amex:SNG) advises that its annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") will be held in the McMurray Room, at the Calgary Petroleum Club, 319 - 5th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, on Thursday, June 3, 2010, at 3:00 p.m.  (Calgary time), for the following purposes:
 
1.
to receive the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the report of the auditors thereon;
   
2.
to elect the directors of the Company for the ensuing year;
   
3.
to appoint Deloitte & Touche llp as auditors of the Company;
   
4.
to consider and, if thought advisable, pass, with or without variation, a special resolution to amend the articles of the Company to change the name of the Company from "Canadian Superior Energy Inc." to "Sonde Resources Corp.";
   
5.
to consider and, if thought advisable, pass, with or without variation, a special resolution to amend the articles of the Company to consolidate (the "Consolidation") the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one post-Consolidation Common Share for every five pre-Consolidation Common Shares, or such lesser consolidation ratio as the board of directors (the "Board") of the Company may determine;
   
6.
to consider and, if thought advisable, pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution to approve the adoption of a new shareholder rights plan of the Company;
   
7.
to consider and, if thought advisable, pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution to confirm the new By-Law Number 1 of the Company; and
   
8.
to transact such further and other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

The specific details of the matters proposed to be put before the Meeting will be set forth in an Information Circular to be mailed to the Shareholders and will be made available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com and the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (EDGAR) system at www.sec.gov.
 
The proposed Consolidation is also subject to Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE Amex Equities acceptance and the ultimate discretion of the Board to implement the Consolidation.  Subject to these conditions and obtaining Shareholder approval at the Meeting, the 311,481,737 pre-consolidation Common Shares that are currently outstanding would be reduced to approximately 62,296,347 post-Consolidation Common Shares.
 
If the Consolidation is implemented, fractional post-Consolidation Common Shares will not be issued to Shareholders.  Where the Consolidation would otherwise result in a Shareholder being entitled to a fractional Common Share, the number of Common Shares issued to such Shareholder shall be rounded up to the next greater whole number of Common Shares if the fractional entitlement is equal to or greater than 0.5 and shall be rounded down to the next lesser whole number of Common Shares if the fractional entitlement is less than 0.5.
