During a carve out, can the new company keep the SBTi target of the (previous) parent company?

If a Parent Company has an approved SBTi commitment, and they sell 50% of their business as part of a joint venture to a partner. Can the new entity retain the previous parent company’s SBT commitment and target? Or do they need to set their own new target?

Note that when the joint venture between the previous parent company and the new partner is established it is a new legal entity?
